Note
1 - Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements of 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) have
been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's year end audited financial statements and related
footnotes included in the previously filed 10KSB. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2008,
and
the statements of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and
2007 and the period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2008, and
cash
flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the period
from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2008, have been included. The
results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results
which may be realized for the full year.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and
the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from the estimates and assumptions used.
Uncertainties
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Company is in the development stage and has no source of revenue to fund
the
development of its planned product or to pay operating expenses. This has
resulted in the Company realizing a cumulative net loss of $8,649,224 for the
period from inception (January 1, 2001) to March 31, 2008. The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern during the next year depends on the
successful completion of the Company's capital raising efforts to fund the
development of its planned products. The financial statements do not include
any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as
a
going concern.
Management
plans to fund the future operations of the Company with the $446,213 of cash
in
escrowed funds that will be advanced in 2008 and existing cash of $433,224.
Further, the Company has negotiated funding from Golden Gate Investors, Inc.
Under the terms of the debentures, Golden Gate will advance an additional
$378,787 to the Company during the remainder of 2008. Additionally the Company
is continuing to pursue additional capitalization through Rule 144 stock sales,
debentures, and other venture capital investments. There is also the possibility
of revenue in 2008 from sales and licensing of the Company’s
products.
Note
2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The
following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant
to
the Company:
10
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal years except for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
for which the effective date has been deferred by one year in accordance with
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13
and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP FAS
157-1”). FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157, to exclude SFAS No. 13,
“Accounting for Leases”, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair
value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under
SFAS No. 13. FSP FAS 157-1 is effective with the initial adoption of SFAS
157. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to make an
irrevocable election to measure certain financial instruments and other assets
and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected will be
recognized in net earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is
effective for the Company’s year that begins January 1, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting
for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of
contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, and restructuring
costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination
after
the measurement period will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements —
an Amendment of ARB No. 51”.
This
statement amends ARB
51
to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest
in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We
do not have such subsidiaries therefore the adoption of the provisions of
SFAS
No. 160
will not
affect our results of operations or financial position.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 161,
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133.
(“SFAS
161”) SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures
about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under Statement
133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework
in
SFAS 133 and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies
for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts
of
gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk
related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS
161
are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. Management is currently assessing the potential impact that the
adoption of SFAS 161 could have on our financial statements.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends
the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
guidance contained in this FSP for determining the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset is applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after
the effective date. Additional disclosures required in this FSP are applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
the
effective date.
11
In
May
2008, FASB issued SFAS
No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”.
This
statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework
for
selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements
of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).
This statement is effective 60days following the SEC’s approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Presented Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.

Research Agreement (“SRA”)
On
April
20, 2004, the Company entered into a SRA entitled "Investigation of Emerging
Digital Holography Technologies" (Phase I) with the University of Oklahoma
-
Tulsa (“University”), which expired October 19, 2004. The Company paid the
University $14,116 pursuant to this agreement. On July 15, 2005, the Company

through July 15, 2006 to cover the costs of the research. The final payment
of
$226,792, due on July 15, 2006, was not paid and the agreement was modified
in
November 2006 to provide $125,259 additional funding, extend the term of the
agreement through March 31, 2007, and revise the payment schedule to combine
the
July 15, 2006 remaining balance due of $226,792 with the additional funding
into
a revised payment schedule. Under the terms of the agreement the Company agreed
to pay the combined remaining obligation of $352,052 in four equal installments
of $88,013 on December 31, 2006 through March 31, 2007.
On
February 23, 2007 the Company entered into a SRA with the University (Phase
III)
which expires March 31, 2010. Under this agreement the University will conduct
a
research project entitled “3-Dimensional Display Development” that seeks to make
significant progress in the development of 3-dimensional display technologies.
The Company will pay the University $3,468,595 payable in monthly installment
ranging from $92,263 to $112,777 beginning April 30, 2007 and ending March
31,
2010, an aggregate commitment of $4,047,439. During the three- month periods

Securities
Purchase Agreement
6.25%
Convertible Debenture due 2009
The
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with
Golden Gate Investors, Inc. (“Golden Gate”) on November 3, 2006, as amended on
December 15, 2006 and February 6, 2007, for the sale of a 6.25% convertible
debenture in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (“First Debenture.”) The Company
agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the
common stock underlying the debenture. The registration statement became
effective on July 3, 2007. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Golden
Gate advanced $125,000 during 2006 and converted the $125,000 debenture into
357,142 shares of common stock on July 16, 2007 at $0.35 per share. Pursuant
to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, Golden Gate provided the Company with an
additional $312,500 of debenture funding upon effectiveness of the registration
statement and converted the $312,500 debenture into 892,857 shares of common
stock on July 17, 2007 at $0.35 per share. The remaining $812,500 of the $1.25
million debenture was placed with an escrow agent during 2007. During the
remainder of 2007 $400,000 was released. Additionally $400,000 was released
in
2008 and $12,500 remains available. At various dates during 2007, $1,189,029
of
the debenture was converted into 4,904,335 shares of common stock at prices
ranging from $0.17 to $0.26 based on the formula in the convertible debenture.
After the conversion to common stock, $60,971 of the $1,250,000 debenture
remains outstanding.
6.25%
Convertible Debenture due 2010
Pursuant
to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on October 24, 2007, at such time as
the
principal balance of the First Debenture was less than $400,000, the Company
provided Golden Gate with written notice that it desired to require Golden
Gate
to purchase the second debenture. Golden Gate advanced $125,000 on the second
$1.25 million debenture in November 2007. Additionally, Golden Gate advanced
$312,500 directly to the Company and $433,713 to an escrow account on the Second
Debenture in January 2008. As of March 31, 2008, Golden Gate has funded an
aggregate of $871,213 on the Second Debenture. Golden Gate will be obligated
to
fund the Company for the remaining $378,787 in principal on the Second Debenture
upon the effectiveness of a registration statement underlying the remaining
unfunded principal balance on the Second Debenture. Under the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the escrowed funds are available to be advanced
to the Company at the rate of $200,000 per month beginning March 1, 2008. As
of
March 31, 2008 the Company has not received advances from the escrowed funds
from the second $1,250,000 debenture.
In
accordance with the terms of the Second Debenture an event of default occurs
if
the common stock of the Company trades at a price per share of $0.21 or lower.
The trading price was at $0.21 or lower on four occasions, January 23, March
6,
14 and 18, 2008. On each of the four occasions Golden Gate, by separate letter
agreements, agreed that the occasions did not constitute a default and thereby
waived the default provision for those four occasions only.
4.75%
Convertible Debenture due 2011
On
November 3, 2006, the Company also issued to Golden Gate a 4¾% convertible
debenture in a principal amount of $100,000, due 2011, and warrants to buy
1,000,000 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $10.90 per share.
Golden Gate converted $351 of the $100,000 debenture into 196,489 shares of
common stock on February 22, 2008 at $0.002 per share and exercised warrants
to
purchase 3,511 shares of common stock at $10.90 per share. The Company received
$38,269 from the exercise of the warrants.

October 11, 2008, or $.50 per share from October 12, 2008 through October 11,
2009.
Common
stock and options issued for services
During
the first quarter of 2008 shares of common stock totaling 491,228 were issued
for consulting services for which the Company recognized $89,500 of expense.
In
the first quarter of 2007 options to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares at $0.05
were issued for consulting services. The Company recognized $575,000 of expense
based on a value of $0.23 per share.
Options
exercised
Under
the
terms of the Concordia consulting agreement, Concordia exercised 250,000
cashless options to purchase 209,677 shares of common stock at the agreed
exercise price of $.05.
Options
granted
On
February 25, 2008, the Company agreed to compensate Board members who are not
employees of the Corporation with options to purchase registered stock of the
corporation equaling the value of $100,000 each; using standard evaluation
methods, the Board granted 687,189 vested options each to three directors;
the
exercise price for each option is $0.24 per share. The options expire at the
end
of ten years. The $300,000 compensation is for services on the Board during
all
or part of the calendar year 2008 and is deemed fully earned on the date of
the
grant. Operations were charged with $300,000 for the three months ending March
31, 2008. The estimated fair market value of the options was determined using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected dividend yield of $-0-
is
based on the average annual dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected
volatility of 71.33% is based on the historical volatility of the stock since
July 25, 2007, the day the company began trading on the Over the counter
Bulletin Board. The risk-free interest rate of 3.0% is based on the
U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected
life of the option of five years is based on historical exercise behavior and
expected future experience.

Plan
of Operation
Background:
The
Company is engaged in the development of 360 o
volumetric imaging and display technology, specifically in the areas identified
by the initial in-depth investigation conducted by the University of Oklahoma
(OU or University). The identified areas are two major complementary areas
of
technology that comprise the spectrum of the solution and application (1) a
means of recording 3D objects as digital holographic data elements (capture);
and (2) a means of reconstructing and displaying the 3D images
(display).
Based
on
the investigation as well as review of existing patents and technologies, it
was
concluded that the area of 3-D image capture and recording had multiple
solutions and technologies that adequately served the market. Therefore our
primary area of focus is to develop products and intellectual property in the
reconstruction and display of 3D images where we see the most opportunity.
We
aim to establish strategic partnerships with the assignees or license holders
of
existing 3D recording technologies as well as integrate our technologies with
existing solutions.
The
existing products reviewed can generally be broken down into two broad
categories: stereoscopic - those that use flat-panels to implement 3D displays
on 2D screens, and those that implement volumetric 3D displays. The flat-panel
approaches, as previously noted, do not support 3DIcon’s planned embodiment of
the technology. However, the application space of volumetric 3D displays
supports the Company vision and appears to offer major opportunities for further
technology development and creation of intellectual property through the
University of Oklahoma, to which 3DIcon will have exclusive world-wide
rights.
The
research team at OU has been working to integrate open source image capture
applications as well as to establish 3D image capture systems.
We
continue to build intellectual property through the University of Oklahoma,
to
which 3DIcon has exclusive rights and engage in product research and development
both directly related to the display as well as by-product
technologies.
Current
Activities and Operations
16
Currently
the Company is pursuing the research and development of volumetric 3-D display
technology through the Sponsored Research Agreement (“SRA”) with the University
of Oklahoma (“OU”). Our efforts are focused on multiple technological
approaches, two of which are being further developed into proof-of-concept
demonstration systems:
(a)
Swept
Volume Display Technology
(b)
Static Volume Display Technology: An alternate approach to the volumetric
display in which certain media, such as nano-particles in a transparent or
semi-transparent medium to produce an innovative “volumetric projection screen
or projection space”. This, in addition to existing and rapidly evolving image
projection technologies, such as DLP®/DMD technology from Texas Instruments, are
being innovatively incorporated to produce full-color, full-motion 3D
visualization, and in harmony with 3DIcon’s vision for product
development.
The
Company has expanded the scope of the initial SRA with OU to include the
research and prototype development of the volumetric displays using
nanotechnology.
The
OU
team has made significant progress in the development of a proof-of-concept
demonstration unit for the Swept Volume Display and the University has
demonstrated a Stage I Swept Volume volumetric display in the third quarter
of
2007 that renders full color volumetric 3D images. The research team is now
aiming to create the second stage demonstration prototype that aims to improve
certain aspects as well as demonstrate additional embodiments as claimed in
the
patent filing.
Under
the
scope of the revised SRA, OU has assigned a second multi-disciplinary team
to
focus on the development of light sensitive nano-materials (up-conversion
materials), the medium for dispersion of the up-conversion materials and the
optics using digital micro-mirror devices including the controls
thereof.
The
Company also has released a software product called Pixel Precision™. The
current version of the software is 1.0. The Company plans to continue to pursue
this market and provide versions and variations of this software. The plans
include enhancements to the functionality as well as variants to address
additional opportunities.
The
Company has signed a sales and distribution agreement with Digital Light
Innovations (DLi) for the sales, marketing and first level support of the
software. Through DLi and its sub-distributors the software will be marketed
in
the United States as well as in Europe and Asia.
Progress
on Research and Development Activities
The
research team at OU filed 2 new patent applications in the first quarter of
2008
and converted one from a provisional to a utility filing.
Under
the
aegis of the SRA, the University has filed the following Patent Applications.
The Utility Patents have been converted and consolidated from the previously
filed Provisional Applications.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
Revenue
The
Company has launched its first software product PixelPrecision™. The company has
appointed Digital Light Innovations for the sales and distribution of this
product in March 2008. None of our other technologies have advanced to the
point
where a production/licensing decision can be made. As a consequence, we have
had
no sales or revenues to date.
The
Company expects revenue from the sales of PixelPrecision™ in the second quarter
of 2008. The anticipated revenue from the sales of this product is expected
to
ramp-up over a period of time. The company expects that the revenue from this
product to contribute to the operating expenses, but does not expect the revenue
generated in 2008 to cover the operating expenses.
Research
and Development Expenses
The
research and development expenses were $300,000 for the three months ended
March
31, 2008 as compared to $104,611 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The
increase resulted directly from the inception of the Sponsored Research
Agreement (SRA) with the University of Oklahoma and the subsequent revision
of
the SRA wherein the scope of the agreement was expanded.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses were $917,828 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 as compared to $800,652 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. Our cash based general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 were $469,931 as compared to $225,652 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007.
The
increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from an increase in
legal and administrative fees associated with becoming a reporting company;
our
SEC filings and financing transactions; an increase in accounting and auditing
expenses as a result of our quarterly reviews and annual audit; hiring of
executive staff; and an increase in consulting expenses associated with business
strategy, investor relations; federal outreach program; directors’ stock based
compensation and the establishment of our management team. In order to conserve
cash the company uses stock based compensation for services.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $32,867 as compared to
$13,044 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in interest
expense resulted from increases in the amounts outstanding on our convertible
debentures.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management
remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We recognize our limited cash
resources and plan our expenses accordingly. We intend to leverage
stock-for-services wherever possible. The operating budget consists of the
following expenses:
19
·
|
Research
and development expenses pursuant to our Sponsored Research Agreement
with
the University of Oklahoma. This includes development of an initial
demonstrable prototype and a second prototype with for static volume
technology

Our
independent registered public accountants, in their audit report accompanying
our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, expressed
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our
status as a development stage organization with insufficient revenues to fund
development and operating expenses.
The
Company had net cash of $879,437 at March 31, 2008.
The
Company had negative working capital (i.e. the difference between current assets
and current liabilities) of $428,810 at March 31, 2008.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company used $660,916 of cash for
operating activities, an increase of $302,849 or 85% compared to the quarter
ended March 31, 2007. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities
was a result of the addition of personnel $67,000; interest on debentures
$23,000; advertising and public relations $ 13,000; legal, accounting and SEC
filings $92,000; and new contracts entered into in the later part of 2007 of
$53,000.
Cash
used
in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5,649
an increase of $5,649 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Cash
provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $840,483, an increase of $533,983 or174% compared to the quarter ended
March
31, 2007.
The
Company expects to receive the remaining unpaid principal balance of $378,787
from the Second Debenture upon effectiveness of a registration statement
covering the shares underlying the remaining unpaid principal balance. The
Company expects to file such registration statement in the Third Quarter of
2008. In addition, pursuant to the 4.75% Convertible Debenture due in 2011,
beginning in November 2007, Golden Gate is obligated to submit conversion
notices in an amount such that Golden Gate receives 1% of the outstanding shares
of the Company every calendar quarter for a period of one year. In connection
with each conversion, Golden Gate is obligated to exercise warrants equal to
10
times the amount of principal converted. The warrants are exercisable at $10.90
per share. Based upon the Company’s stock price and issued and outstanding
shares as of March 31, 2008, the Company expects to receive approximately
$525,000 in funding from Golden Gate as a result of warrant exercises from
April
1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
In
addition the company is currently negotiating with OU to revise the payment
terms under its SRA from a fixed monthly to an actual expense basis. We
anticipate that this along with other measures will reduce our current cash
burn
rate from $267,000 per month to approximately $200,000 per
month.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
3DIcon
does not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely
to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results
of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Significant
Accounting Policies
20
Research
and Development Costs
Statement
of Accounting Standards No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,”
requires that all research and development costs be expensed as incurred. Until
we have developed a commercial product, all costs incurred in connection with
the Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Oklahoma, as well as
all
other research and development costs incurred, will be expensed. After a
commercial product has been developed, we will report costs incurred in
producing products for sale as assets, but we will continue to expense costs
incurred for further product research and development
activities.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Since
its
inception 3DIcon has used its common stock or warrants to purchase its common
stock as a means of compensating our employees and consultants. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation”
and No.
123(R), “Share
Based Payments,”
requires us to estimate the value of securities used for compensation and to
charge such amounts to expense over the periods benefited.
The
estimated fair value at date of grant of options for our common stock is
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, as follows:
The
expected dividend yield is based on the average annual dividend yield as of
the
grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our
stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant
Maturity rates as of the grant date. The expected life of the option is based
on
historical exercise behavior and expected future experience.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements:
The
following are summaries of recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant
to
the Company:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those
fiscal years except for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
for which the effective date has been deferred by one year in accordance with
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157” (“FSP FAS 157-2”). Also in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13
and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for
Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (“FSP FAS
157-1”). FSP FAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157, to exclude SFAS No. 13,
“Accounting for Leases”, and other accounting pronouncements that address fair
value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under
SFAS No. 13. FSP FAS 157-1 is effective with the initial adoption of SFAS
157. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to make an
irrevocable election to measure certain financial instruments and other assets
and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option is elected will be
recognized in net earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is
effective for the Company’s year that begins January 1, 2008. The adoption of
SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
21
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting
for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of
contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, and restructuring
costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation
allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination
after
the measurement period will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements —
an Amendment of ARB No. 51”.
This
statement amends ARB
51
to
establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest
in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We
do not have such subsidiaries therefore the adoption of the provisions of
SFAS
No. 160
will not
affect our results of operations or financial position.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 161,
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133.
(“SFAS
161”) SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures
about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under Statement
133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
its
related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. SFAS 161 is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework
in
SFAS 133 and requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies
for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of
gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk
related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS
161
are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. Management is currently assessing the potential impact that the
adoption of SFAS 161 could have on our financial statements.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of
the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends
the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This FSP is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
guidance contained in this FSP for determining the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset is applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after
the effective date. Additional disclosures required in this FSP are applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
the
effective date.
In
May
2008, FASB issued SFAS
No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”.
This
statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework
for
selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements
of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).
This statement is effective 60days following the SEC’s approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Presented Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated
the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective
such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized
and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and
(ii)
accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance,
however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During
the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2008, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
