HAMMONDS INDUSTRIES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Hammonds Industries, Inc. (“Hammonds”), f/k/a International American Technologies, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Hammonds’ latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform with the current period presentation.
 
Organization, Ownership and Business
 
Hammonds is a 48% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc.

In 2005, Hammonds, through its parent company, acquired 51% of the capital stock of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. were separate privately-owned Texas companies. In connection with the 2005 acquisition by Hammonds, Hammonds Fuel Additives was merged into Hammonds Technical Services. In April 2005 and January 2006, respectively, Hammonds Fuel Additives and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, respectively, were reincorporated as separate entities from Hammonds Technical Services, and all three entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hammonds. On August 1, 2006, Hammonds acquired the 49% minority interest of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. in consideration for the issuance of 16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at a price of $0.25 per share, the price of Hammonds' common stock at the date of the transaction. As a result of this transaction, Hammonds owns 100% of each of the Hammonds subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hammonds and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hammond Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. In accordance with FIN 46(R), American International Industries, Inc., our parent, consolidates Hammonds even though its ownership is less than 51%, because the parent appoints the members of Hammonds’ board of directors. Since Hammonds is incurring losses and the minority interest has no recorded common stock equity value, the parent recognizes 100% of Hammonds’ losses. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when the earning process is completed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.  The Hammonds Companies have purchase orders for all sales, of which many of the items are requested to be container shipped and shipped directly to the end users.  All sales are recorded when the inventory items are shipped.  Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are incurred as a result of a revenue transaction are not included in revenues.  Hammonds has no significant sales returns or allowances.
 
Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.
 
Management's Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Hammonds estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, Hammonds estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Hammonds could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The interest rates payable by Hammonds on its notes payable approximate market rates. Hammonds believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.
 
Note 2 - Financial Condition
 
Hammonds requires additional financing to grow its business and fund its operations.  Hammonds unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Hammonds has incurred cumulative operating losses through September 30, 2008 of $12,433,651 and had a working capital deficit of $165,777 at September 30, 2008.  Revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were not sufficient to cover our operating costs and we continue to generate negative cash flows from operations.  There can be no assurance that Hammonds can or will be able to generate revenue or complete any debt or equity financing that might be needed to support operations in the future.  Hammonds’ consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Hammonds has hired an investment banking advisor to assist in securing additional financing.
 
Note 3 - Trading Securities
 
In February 2007, Hammonds paid $100,000 for an option to buy 104,398 shares of American International Industries, Inc. stock for $5.00 per share from a former Hammonds' minority shareholder as part of a lawsuit settlement. Hammonds estimated the fair value of this stock option at December 31, 2007, by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions as follows:
   
December 31, 2007
 
Dividend yield
   
0.00
%
Expected volatility
   
39.74
%
Risk free interest
   
6.25
%
Expected life
 
2 months
 
 
As a result, this option was revalued to $28,314, and an unrealized loss of $71,686 was recorded in other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This option expired in February 2008, resulting in a realized loss of $100,000 and a reversal of the previously recorded unrealized loss of $71,686.

Note 9 - Preferred Stock
 
In August and September 2006, Hammonds sold to Vision Opportunity Fund Limited (“VOMF”) 833,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 833,333 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively (the “2006 Private Financing Transactions”). In connection with the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Hammonds issued VOMF: (i) Series A Warrants to purchase 8,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.18 per share, expiring in August 2011; and (ii) Series B Warrants to purchase an additional 8,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.18 per share, expiring in August 2007. In connection with the sale of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Hammonds issued VOMF: (i) Series C Warrants to purchase an additional 8,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, expiring on September 29, 2011; and (ii) Hammonds agreed to extend the expiration dates on the Series B Warrants issued in the 2006 Private Financing Transactions from August 2007 to August 2008.
 
Each share of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of Hammonds' common stock.
 
On September 20, 2007, Hammonds and VOMF agreed to amend the Series A, B and C Warrants to: (i) adjust the exercise price of all of the Warrants to $0.10; and (ii) provide for the issuance of a total of 2,102,960 shares of Hammonds' newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of 21,029,599 shares of common stock. On September 21, 2007, VOMF delivered a notice of exercise of all 21,029,599 Series A, B and C Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant from which Hammonds received net proceeds of $1,981,162.  As a result of this agreement, there are no warrants outstanding related to the Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock.

Hammonds reviewed the following accounting standards to determine the appropriate accounting for these issuances:

- SFAS No. 133: Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- SFAS No. 150: Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity
- EITF 00-19: Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock
- EITF 98-5: Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios
- EITF 00-27: Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments
- EITF Topic D-98: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities
- ASR No. 268: Redeemable Preferred Stocks
 
We concluded that all components of these issuances should be classified as equity, because the only way for the value of the conversion feature to be realized is through the issuance of shares. Hammonds has sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to settle the contracts after considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of stock.
 
We valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes model and allocated the proceeds from the preferred share issuances based on the relative fair values of the securities issued.
 
We determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists for the Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock issuances. Based on our review of the "Emerging Issues Task Force" EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the amount of proceeds allocated to the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock should be assigned to the embedded conversion feature with a corresponding amount recorded as a "deemed dividend" to the preferred shareholders. This is based on paragraph 6 of EITF 98-5, which states that "the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument."
 
We allocated the following amounts to the embedded conversion feature and recorded a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders:
 
Preferred A – August 8, 2006
 
$
387,499
 
Preferred A – August 23, 2006

On July 25, 2007, Hammonds and VOMF entered into an agreement pursuant to which VOMF waived the cash dividends of $150,425 on the Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accrued from August and September 2006, respectively, through September 30, 2007. Additionally, VOMF agreed that future accrued dividends may be paid, at Hammonds' option, in cash or in restricted shares of Hammonds' common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued as payment of accrued and unpaid dividends shall be determined by dividing (i) the total amount of accrued and unpaid dividends to be converted into common stock by (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the VWAP for the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the dividend payment date. The term "VWAP" means, for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time); (ii) if the common stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the common stock are then reported in the "Pink Sheets" published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the common stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of common stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to Hammonds.
 
The modification of the exercise price to $0.10 per share for the Warrants requires a comparison of the fair values of the warrants immediately before and after the modification. As a result of this comparison, we calculated a fair value increase of $386,334 for this modification. Since additional value was given to the holders of these warrants, $386,334 was recognized and recorded as finance expense in September 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment.
 
We valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes model, using the following assumptions:

Note 10 - Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject Hammonds to credit risk are primarily accounts receivable – trade.  Hammonds grants credit to customers throughout the United States. Generally, Hammonds does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. had one customer that represented 31% of total Hammonds' sales.

Note 15 - Related Party Transactions and Economic Dependence
 
Hammonds has been and continues to be dependent upon funding from its parent, American International Industries, Inc. ("AMIN"). At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, Hammonds owed the parent $773,063 and $594,640, respectively.  During the three months ended September 30, 2008, AMIN provided a bridge loan of $250,000.  This loan has a 10% interest rate and is due December 31, 2008, or upon Hammonds receiving significant equity financing. As additional consideration, Hammonds will issue 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to AMIN.  These shares have been recorded as a debt discount of $29,000 on the note.
 
Note 16 - Subsequent Events
 
On November 7, 2008, AMIN set new record and issue dates of December 31, 2008 and February 25, 2009, respectively, for the special dividend of its shares of common stock of HMDI to AMIN shareholders.  Additionally, AMIN increased the special dividend from one to two shares of HMDI common stock for each share of AMIN common stock.  After these transactions, AMIN's ownership interest in Hammonds will be approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding common stock.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" means Hammonds Industries, Inc., formerly International American Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries, Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Services, Inc. and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. (collectively, "Hammonds"). To the extent that we make any forward-looking statements in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report, we emphasize that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect our current views about future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Generally, forward-looking statements include phrases with words such as "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
 
Overview
 
Hammonds Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is publicly traded on the OTCBB: Symbol "HMDI". The Company was incorporated on August 18, 1986 and is a 48% owned subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc., ("AMIN") NasdaqCM: AMIN.  AMIN consolidates Hammonds even though its ownership is less than 51%, because the AMIN appoints the members of Hammonds’ board of directors. Since Hammonds is incurring losses and the minority interest has no recorded common stock equity value, AMIN recognizes 100% of Hammonds’ losses. AMIN’s ownership percentage will be diluted in the event of the conversion by Vision Opportunity Fund Limited (VOMF) of their shares of Hammonds' Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Hammonds' common stock. See the discussion below under "2007 Private Financing Transactions".  Further, AMIN’s equity interest will be reduced to 13% upon the completion of the special dividend by AMIN of the Company’s shares, which is presently scheduled to commence in February 2009.
 
In 2005, the Company, through its parent company, acquired 51% of the capital stock of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. were separate privately-owned Texas companies. In connection with the 2005 acquisition by the Company, Hammonds Fuel Additives was merged into Hammonds Technical Services. In April 2005 and January 2006, respectively, Hammonds Fuel Additives and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, respectively, were reincorporated as separate entities from Hammonds Technical Services, and all three entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. On August 1, 2006, the Company acquired the 49% minority interest of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. in consideration for the issuance of 16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at a price of $0.25 per share, the price of the Company's common stock at the date of the transaction. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of each of the Hammonds subsidiaries.
 
2007 Private Financing Transactions
 
In connection with the agreement of VOMF to exercise up to 4,000,000 Series C Warrants in March 2007, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Series C Warrants from $0.50 per share to $0.18 per share through December 31, 2007, following which the exercise price reverts to $0.50 per share. On March 27, 2007, VOMF exercised 3,970,400 Series C Warrants at a price of $0.18 per share with net proceeds of $694,672 to the Company.
 
On September 20, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with VOMF pursuant to which the Series A, B and C Warrants were amended to: (i) adjust the exercise price of all of the Warrants to $0.10; and (ii) provide for the issuance of a total of 2,102,960 shares of the Company's newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of 21,029,599 shares of common stock. On September 21, 2007, VOMF delivered a notice of exercise of all 21,029,599 Series A, B and C Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant, from which the Company received net proceeds of $1,981,162.
 
In total, the Company has received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF Private Financing Transactions. The material terms of these preferred stock issuances are included in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
 
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007.
 
The following is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited consolidated financial statements, and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
 
Revenues. Hammonds generated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $1,802,229, compared to $3,083,286 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a decrease of $1,281,057, or 42%. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $6,428,157, compared to $7,120,461 for the same period in 2007, representing a decrease of $692,304, or 10%. For the nine month period, Hammonds Water Treatment revenues increased by $206,530, or 9%, and Hammonds Technical Services revenues decreased by $877,166, or 22%.  The decrease was due to delays in certain materials required for specific job completion and the influence of an overall worldwide economic slowdown.  Extensive roof damage caused by Hurricane Ike destroyed the entire office and sales showroom complex.   Relocation of all personnel within the complex into temporary facilities has impacted both production and marketing efforts.  While all computers and accounting network were saved, virtually all furniture and fixtures within the affected area were destroyed. The Company is pursuing claims under its insurance policies for lost income and additional expenses. No estimate of potential recovery can be made at this time since the costs and losses are continuing.  Hammonds' projected backlog of orders at September 30, 2008 is $3.2 million, compared to a backlog of orders of $4.8 million at September 30, 2007.  The backlog is principally comprised of orders for injectors and skids.  Subject to releases by customers, the entire projected backlog at September 30, 2008 is expected to be delivered over the next twelve months.  Some shipments originally scheduled for September were shifted to October as a result of delays in components.  Shipping delays caused by the storm damage result in shifting some sales from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, while some sales have been lost due to our limited showroom and marketing presence.
 
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,594,421, or 88% of revenues, compared to $2,075,445, or 67% of revenues for the same period of the prior year. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $5,149,527, or 80% of revenues, compared to $5,402,135, or 76% of revenues for the same period of the prior year.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue have increased due to the current decrease in revenue.
 
Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses decreased to $1,102,374, or 61% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $1,427,085, or 46% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The current quarter increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  Selling and administrative expenses were $3,487,746, or 54% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3,266,702, or 46% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in expenses was primarily due to an overall increase in expenses in engineering, production and marketing of Hammonds' line of ODVs®.  The nine month increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Increased expenses related to the mitigation of damages, relocation to new office space within the existing facility, and restoration of services are reflected in the September expenses and will continue into the next quarter.
 
Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2008, was $894,566, compared to 2007 of $419,244.  Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $2,209,116 compared to $1,548,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in the loss from operations for both periods is due to the decrease in revenues.
 
Total Other Expenses. Other expenses decreased to $99,855 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, from $367,837 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Other expenses decreased to $282,828 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, from $678,035 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $386,334 in finance expense for the issuance of preferred stock. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007 decreased by $33,749 and $122,643, respectively, due to the decrease in the amount owed to the parent of $818,500 from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008.
 
Net Loss. The net loss increased to $995,348 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $787,081 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss increased to $2,471,957 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $2,226,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  The increase in the net losses for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to our decrease in revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $9,768,401 and $10,815,238, respectively. We had negative working capital of $165,777 at September 30, 2008, compared to positive working capital of $2,660,254 at December 31, 2007, representing a reduction of $2,826,031, due primarily to funding operations and investment in production equipment and amounts owed to our parent company of $773,063 coming due.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, our parent and VOMF provided bridge loans of $250,000 each.  These loans have a 10% interest rate and are due December 31, 2008, or upon Hammonds receiving significant equity financing.  Hammonds also agreed to issue 100,000 shares to each, our parent and VOMF, as additional consideration for entering into the loans.  The Company is in discussions with several groups regarding the possible investment of additional equity financing to support the continuing implementation of our business plan.  It is possible that new investment into the Company might result in dilution to existing shareholders.
 
Net cash used in operations was $1,587,101 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $1,410,301 for 2007. The cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was derived primarily from the net loss of $2,471,957, offset by significant non-cash items included in the net loss of depreciation and amortization of $687,874 and stock based compensation of $104,000. The cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was derived primarily from the net loss of $2,226,411 and increases in accounts receivable of $371,093 and inventories of $427,764, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $113,602, depreciation and amortization of $619,190, stock based compensation of $448,500, finance expense for the issuance of preferred stock of $386,334, and a management fee paid in restricted shares of common stock to Hammonds' parent of $105,000.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $272,220 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to cash used of $424,533 for 2007. The cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily from the investment in production equipment of $229,250 and the cost of securing patents and trademarks of $42,970. The cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily from purchases of an option to buy American International Industries, Inc. stock for $100,000 as part of a lawsuit settlement and the investment in property and equipment of $303,198.
 
Net cash provided in financing activities was $365,617 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to net cash provided in financing activities of $2,777,376 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The net cash provided in financing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was due to bridge loans in the amount of $500,000 provided by our parent and VOMF, offset by payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $91,807. The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was due to net proceeds of $1,981,162 from the issuance of 2,102,960 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the exercise by VOMF of all outstanding Series A, B and C Warrants in September 2007, net proceeds from issuance of 3,970,400 shares of common stock upon the exercise by VOMF of Series C Warrants at an exercise price of $0.18 per share resulting in net proceeds of $694,672, and proceeds from borrowings of $1,284,551, offset by payments on debt of $1,214,444.
 
In order to successfully grow Hammonds' business and its plan to increase market share for Hammonds' products and services, we have been dependent upon funding from our parent, which loan at September 30, 2008 was $773,063, and our parent's ability to secure and maintain our existing $2,000,000 revolving credit line from a financial institution.

The Company received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF Private Financing Transactions.  As a result of the fact that VOMF has exercised all of the warrants issued in the Private Financing Transactions, the Company will not receive any additional funding from VOMF unless new funding arrangements are negotiated.
 
If additional debt and/or equity financing is required in 2008, we believe that such financing will be available from our parent and institutional or other private investors at terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.
 
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest Rate Risk. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, due to the generally short maturities of these items. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our investments were primarily in short-term dollar denominated bank deposits with maturities of a few days, or in longer-term deposits where funds can be withdrawn on demand without penalty. We have the ability and expect to hold our investments to maturity.
 
The Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, is at fixed interest rates, prime plus 1%, or prime floating rate. The Company does not believe that a change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.
