1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods
presented have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of trends or of results to be expected for the full year. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's most recent registration statement
on Form SB-2 as amended.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors
Sew Cal
Logo, Inc.
We have
reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Sew Cal Logo,
Inc. as of February 28, 2009, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three-month and six-month
periods ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008. These interim financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We
conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim
financial information consists of principally applying analytical procedures and
making inquiries of persons responsible for the financials and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.
Based on
our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have
previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheet of Sew Cal Logo,
Inc. as of August 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated November 25, 200, we expressed a qualified
opinion with a going concern paragraph on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying balance sheet as of November 30, 2008 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relations to the balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

2. Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has accumulated a loss $7,136,124
during its years of operation. This raises substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this
uncertainty.
Managements

Management
continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to
pursue its business plan. It is in the process of expanding its sales
and distribution capability.
NOTE

$355,384 subordinated loan to the Company. The Company is obligated
to pay monthly interest only on the subordinated loan during its term at the
rate of 10% per annum (fixed-rate calculated as simple interest). The
entire principal amount of the loan was originally due on March 1, 2004, and has
continued from that time on a month-to-month basis. The subordinated
loan, which was consented to by United Commercial Bank and subsequent banks, is
collateralized by the assets of the Company, including but not limited to any
and all equipment owned by the Company, inventory, and outstanding
receivables. The balance due at February 28, 2009 is
$328,884.
On April
4, 2005 a shareholder loaned the company $100,000 on a five year monthly
installment loan at 5% per annum for the purchase equipment. Balance

unpaid principal balance of the loan was $462,100 and $500,313
respectively. The monthly required payment varied with an annual
interest rate of 6.75% and a maturity date of March 1, 2012. This
loan related to the purchase of equipment.
On August
11, 2004 the Company refinanced this SBA loan with Pacific Liberty

$139,780. Monthly payments are made the 15th of each
month with interest at prime plus 2.5. Currently the interest rate is
9.5%. This loan is collateralized by the assets of the corporation
and is in first place before the shareholder loan.
The

Callable
Convertible Debentures
On
February 16, 2006 the Company executed an equity financing agreement wherein it
will issue an aggregate of $2,000,000 callable convertible debentures in three
segments. The Company has received a net of
$1,955,000. The debentures are convertible to common stock at 45%
below the lowest three intra-day trading price during the 20 trading days
immediately preceding conversion.
The
Debentures also carry five-year warrants exercisable at $0.50 per
share. The aggregate number of warrants to be issued is 2,142,855.
The Company has recorded an expense of $585,343 for the fair value of the
warrants. The value was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and
assumes a 5 year maturity, a risk free interest rate of 4.85% and a volatility
of 207%.
The
Company has recorded a discount on the convertible debentures of $2,000,000
which represents the beneficial conversion feature. During the years
ended August 31, 2007 and 2006 the Company converted $90,452 and $33,031 debt
into stock, respectively. During the years ended August 31, 2007 and
2006 the Company expensed $983,485 and $565,752 of the recorded discount as
interest expense, respectively. The Company will amortize the
remaining discount over the remaining life of the debentures. The discount was
determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and assumes a 2 year maturity,
a risk free interest rate of 4.85% and a volatility of 207%.
On July
31, 2006 the Company executed an equity financing agreement wherein it has
issued $500,000 in callable convertible debentures and 20,000,000 seven year
warrants exercisable at $0.05 per share. The debentures are
convertible to common stock at 40% below the lowest three intra-day trading
price during the 20 trading days immediately preceding
conversion. The aggregate number of shares to possibly be issued at
100% conversion is 69,444,444 shares. Calculated using a current 3
day trading average price per share of $0.012 per share less 40% is $0.0072 per
share divided into $500,000 equals 69,444,444 shares.
During
the year ended August 31, 2006, the Company recorded an expense of $496,314 for
the fair value of the warrants. The value was determined using the Black-Scholes
pricing model and assumes a 5 year maturity, a risk free interest rate of 4.85%
and a volatility of 207%.
The
Company recorded a discount on the convertible debentures of $500,000 which
represents the beneficial conversion feature and is amortized to interest
expense over the 2 year life of the debentures. The Company recorded an expense
of $ 250,000 and $20,833 respectively for the years ended August 31, 2007 and
2006. The discount was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model and
assumes a 2 year maturity, a risk free interest rate of 4.85% and a volatility
of 207%.
NOTE
5. Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred
Stock
The
Company (post merger) is authorized to issue twelve million (12,000,000) shares
of series A preferred stock at a par value of $0.001. The preferred
stock is convertible to common stock at one share of preferred for every 100
shares of common. The preferred shares can only be converted when the
Company reaches $10,000,000 in sales for any fiscal year. As of
August 31, 2008 there were 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock. The
value was placed at par. The conversion to common stock would be
250,000,000 shares. Based upon the actual growth for the last two
years, the $10,000,000 in sales will not be reached within five
years. Therefore, these shares are not considered in calculating the
loss per share.
During
the quarter ended November 30, 2008 the Company issued 2,200,000 preferred
shares to key employees for services.

NOTE
7. Income Taxes
The
Company provides for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the use of
an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in
effect when these differences are expected to reverse.
SFAS No.
109 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if,
based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The total
deferred tax asset is $1,553,978 as of February 28, 2009 which is calculated by
multiplying a 22% estimated tax rate by the cumulative NOL of $7,063,535 the
total valuation allowance is a comparable $1,553,978.
The
provision for income taxes for the period ended August 31, 2008 and 2007 is
calculated by applying the statutory rate of 22% to the income/(loss) from
continuing operations and deducting appropriate taxes and allowances as

The Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Below is
a listing of the most recent Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and their effect on
the Company.
FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1
– Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities
In June
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,
(“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting,
and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under
the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited.
We are
not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF
03-6-1 would have material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations if adopted.
Statement No. 163 – Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts – and interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163,
Accounting for Financial
Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No.
60. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to
financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and
measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also
requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance
contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years.
SFAS No.
163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations,
or cash flows at this time.
Statement No. 162 – The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the
level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category.
Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more
authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA
Professional Standards.
SFAS No.
162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations,
or cash flows at this time.
Statement No. 161 – Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment to FASB No.
133
In March
2008, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced
disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, with early application encouraged.
Statement No. 160 – Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.
51. A noncontrolling interest, sometimes called a minority
interest, is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to a parent. The objective of this Statement is to improve the
relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a
reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements related to
the noncontrolling or minority interest.
The
Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed
that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 8. The Effect
of Recently Issued Accounting Standards -
continued
Statement No. 141 (revised 2007) –
Business
Combinations
In
December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations. This revision changes the way the minority
interest in a company is measured, recorded and reported in the parent companies
financial statements to the end that a statement user can better evaluate the
nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company
will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009.
The
Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed
that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
The
Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect
it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Statement No. 159 – The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115
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. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is
available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective;
however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading
securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report
net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entities first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as
of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that
choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements.
Adoption
of this pronouncement has not had a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Statement No. 158 – Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). To improve financial reporting by
requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a
defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an
asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through
comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets
of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial
reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of
the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited
exceptions.
The
adoption of this new Statement has no material effect on the Company’s current
financial position, results or operations, or cash flows.
Statement No. 157 – Fair Value
Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to
clarify how to measure fair value and to expand disclosures about fair value
measurements. The expanded disclosures include the extent to which
companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to
measure fair value, and the effect of fair value on earnings and is applicable
whenever other standards require (or permit) assets and liabilities to be
measured at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim
periods within those fiscal years.
The
adoption of this new Statement has not had a material effect on the Company’s
current financial position, results or operations, or cash
flows.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONTINUING AND FUTURE PLAN OF
OPERATIONS.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements, the notes thereto, and the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended,
initially filed on March 20, 2004. All non-historical information contained in
this annual report is a forward-looking statement. The forward-looking
statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements.
Results
of Operations
Total
revenue was $ 307,184 for the quarter ended February 28, 2009 as compared
to $449,427 for the quarter ended February 29, 2008, a net decrease of
$142,243 The net decrease is a result of our continued effort to replace
non-profitable with profitable business. Also, overall losses as a percentage of
sales continue to decline. This can be attributed directly to both internal
restructuring and to our significant investment in the research and development
of our new surf based brand. Our line of merchandise is continuing to
be developed and advertising and promotional campaigns are initiated
and underway. Officer and Administrative Compensation was
$4,654 for the quarter ended February 28, 2009 as compared to $31,308
for the quarter ended February 28,2008, a net decrease of
$26,654. The net decrease is due to the continued restructuring and
streamlining of management responsibilities, helping facilitate more focused
company direction and the anticipated resulting profitability. Total
Assets were $305,394 at February 29, 2009 as compared to $452,903 at August 31,
2008, a net decrease of $147,509. The net decrease was primarily due
to cash used for development expenses, ongoing operations, and reduction of
inventory.
Plan
of Operation
We
continue promoting and marketing the Pipeline Posse product line, a recognized
name in the world of surf and action sports. Our intent remains the
manufacturing, selling and distributing of our own lines of surf wear and to
promote this and other lines of goods in appropriate trade journals and other
media as they are developed, expanded and distributed. Our first full length
movie (surf video) – “Pipeline Posse – Project One” is now for sale in surf
shops nationwide as well as available on the website:
pipelineposse.com. Ads have been placed in major surf publications as
well as on selected internet websites and the video trailers are available for
viewing in our website video section. Private label business is
beginning to return in spite of the continuing competition with aggressively
marketed inexpensive overseas manufacturing. We continue to advocate the value
of “Made in the USA” products and this is having some effect on new business as
well as the return of previous customers. Our unique ability to respond to
client needs for fast delivery also adds to our value as a domestic producer of
quality goods. Should we be able to perpetuate and expand this trend we will add
to our existing staff to support expansion and growth of both our private label
business and entertainment business now that the writer’s strike has ended and
remain cautiously optimistic on both issues.
Private
Labeling
Domestic
headwear suppliers have been drastically reduced as a result of increased lower
pieced imports. Suppliers remaining in this business each have their own niche
in the market place. Few remain in California and our customer base is
increasing somewhat with this reduced competition. There are U.S. suppliers
located in the Midwest and on the East Coast. They seldom manufacture for our
market and deal mainly in the golf, major league baseball and ad specialty-type
businesses.
Overseas
suppliers are a different situation. They can produce a cap at a fraction of the
price we can and we are constantly in competition with them. They can copy all
that we create, but if they are asked to create on their own, they may fall
short, as our industry is constantly changing by way of fabrics, styles, and
method of decorating. Overseas suppliers are in the business of mass production
for export. Our current customers use overseas suppliers for some of their
"bread and butter" styles but tend to use U.S. suppliers for the more cutting
edge products. However, overseas manufacturers require considerably more time in
creating new products because of their inability to provide face-to-face contact
with designers and domestic customers. They also require greater lead times for
shipping and cannot make changes overnight (literally) when required. The
logistics also may not allow them to be immediately aware of developing trends,
forecasting them, and then developing an appropriate finished product
instantly.
At
present, the youth oriented "action sports" lifestyle-clothing market
(surf/skate/snow) is led by labels such as "Quiksilver" of Huntington Beach,
California, representing in excess of $1 billion in annual sales. Also, "O'Neill
Sportswear", "Rip Curl", "Lost", "Billabong", "Volcom", and numerous other
Orange County, California-based clothing companies service this market and can
be considered competition for our new brands. We believe that teens and young
adults are looking for something new and trendy to identify with, purchase, and
wear.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF CONTINUING AND FUTURE PLAN OF OPERATIONS. - continued
Private Labeling -
continued
Although
we believe we now have the experience and resources to take advantage of and
fulfill the needs of this market and we have already made significant steps
towards doing so, the youth, active and sports apparel industry is highly
competitive, with many of our competitors having greater name recognition and
resources than we do. Many of our competitors are well established, have
longer-standing relationships with customers and suppliers, greater name
recognition and greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As a
result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively
than we can to new or changing opportunities or customer requirements. Existing
or future competitors may develop or offer products that provide price, service,
number or other advantages over those we intend to offer. If we fail to compete
successfully against current or future competitors with respect to these or
other factors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may
be materially and adversely affected.
We
currently have no market share data available for competition in these areas. We
work on each job through personal contacts and are frequently the only company
contacted for the particular project.
We do not
depend on any one or a few major customers.
Patents,
Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or Labor
Contracts
We
recently applied to the USTPO for the trademark “Pipeline Posse” in several
categories. Each of our applications is active and currently either approved or
under review for approval by the USPTO examiners We will continue to assess the
need for any copyright, trademark or patent applications on an ongoing
basis.
Film
Wardrobe & Entertainment Related Business
Film
wardrobe and related business remains slow as productions continue to be
produced outside the United States. This holds true for nearly all of
the major studios as well as independent filmmakers, causing the majority of the
local costume houses to downsize.
To
counter this trend and help regain our lost dollar volume in this area we will
continue our existing strategy of marketing directly to movie and television
productions before they begin filming locally and send units out of town on
location. Our strategy of dealing directly with producers, wardrobe
personnel, and talent is beginning to pay off with recent orders from major
films such as “Superman Returns” and the recently released “American Gangster”
starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Any new movies or TV programs to
add?
Corporate
Sales
While
corporate clients currently account for less than fifteen percent (15%) of our
business, we continue to focus on growing this area of our business over the
next year with the addition of in-house salespeople. Also, the addition of new
silk screening equipment has given us the capability to accept and produce large
orders of promotional t-shirts and related items for corporate programs through
outside sales and advertising organizations. Our salespeople are now attempting
to solicit business to our existing client base via telephone and Internet as
well as to potential new customers through the same means as well as through
print advertising via mailing and placement in trade publications. We are
committed to making this new division profitable and more qualified labor has
been retained to operate the new equipment as needed. Second
and third manufacturing shifts can be added as growth requires. We have assigned
two in-house clerical persons to service new inquiries and added accounts, as
well as order finished goods for embellishment and shipping. Current production
capacity is adequate to handle the anticipated increased volume. No
other major capital expenditures are anticipated at this time.
Development
of new Product Lines
We have
identified and developed an opportunity to export the California life style to
the rest of America and to the worldwide markets in general. Started as an idea
born in San Clemente, California, home of the premier surfing beaches in the
world, we have created a number of California Driven brands of
products.
Under the
California Driven umbrella, several lines are being developed with specific
target markets in mind. Currently, several California Driven products are being
developed by us but they do not represent any significant amount of our current
overall revenue. The California Driven brand lines are being developed as an
expansion into our own line of products to market and sell.

Development of new Product
Lines -
continued
The first
identified brand line is Pipeline Posse™. Three trademarks have been
applied for and are under active review for approval by the USPTO. We have completed
initial design of a line of surf wear under the Pipeline Posse™ logo and have
manufactured lifestyle oriented goods to begin a sales and marketing
campaign. The exclusive rights for Pipeline Posse™ were acquired on
August 15, 2005 from Braden Dias of Hawaii. Mr. Dias is a
world renowned surfer and is under agreement with us to represent Pipeline Posse
as a professional athlete in the development of Surf and Sportswear
lines. In addition to Mr. Dias, several additional professional
Hawaiian surfers are currently under agreement to represent the project and 3
support people have been hired, both in Hawaii and
California. Clothing design is being aggressively developed by both
in-house personnel and professional independent contractors experienced in
product development for the Action Sports Industry.
Contact
with our target market has been initially established in several major surf
publications through personal interviews with our athletes as well as
editorials on The Pipeline Posse itself. Print and on-line
advertising campaigns have commenced in both industry related magazines and
websites. We have also published and activated PIPELINEPOSSE.COM, our
website which features up to date information on the athletes, activities, photo
and video galleries, an active news blog, related action sports links, and a
fully developed online store. The secure site and shopping capability
has been recently activated to accept credit cards and offer shipment of
merchandise worldwide. A multi- faceted major advertising and
marketing campaign is being budgeted and developed for the end of 2008 and
professional sales organizations are being interviewed and considered for
representation and distribution of the brand both domestically and
worldwide.
Additional
Action Sport related brands are being considered and are in various stages of
development in regard to trademarks, competition, market potential, and strategy
and cost. Target dates for launch have not been yet
established.
This Form
10-Q includes forward looking statements concerning the future operations of the
Company. This statement is for the express purpose of availing the Company of
the protections of such safe harbor with respect to all forward looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q. We have used forward looking statements
to discuss future plans and strategies of the Company. Management's ability to
predict results or the effect of future plans is inherently uncertain. Factors
that could affect results include, without limitation, competitive factors,
general economic conditions, customer relations, relationships with vendors, the
interest rate environment, governmental regulation and supervision, seasonality,
distribution networks, product introductions, acceptance, technological change,
changes in industry practices and one-time events. These factors should be
considered when evaluating the forward looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements. Should any one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described
herein.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Sew Cal’s
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can
also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures
including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We
believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to
GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to
monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial
statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial
statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial
condition and results of operations, Sew Cal's views certain of these policies
as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the
most significant impact on Sew Cal's consolidated financial statements and
require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual
results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given
current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other
reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the
periods presented in this report. During the next twelve months, we expect to
take the following steps in connection with the further development of our
business and the implementation of our plan of operations.

ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our
management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of
the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation,
management has concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective to ensure that
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit
under the Securities Exchange Act is communicated to management, including the
CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms.
There
were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the Third quarter 2008 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
