Introduction

Universal Capital Management, Inc. (the “Company”) is a public venture capital company. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to emerging companies with high growth potential that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. The Company refers to the companies in which it invests as “portfolio companies.”

The Company’s investment objective is to generate capital appreciation, primarily through investments in equity securities.

The Company, a Delaware corporation, is a closed-end, non diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). It was formed on August 16, 2004. The Company offices are located at 2601 Annand Drive, Suite 16, Wilmington, DE 19808. The Company’s fiscal year ends April 30. The Company’s Internet website is located at: www.unicapman.com.

At April 30, 2007, the Company had equity investments of approximately $6,011,882 at fair value in nine portfolio companies.

Investments

The Company currently holds securities of nine portfolio companies and intends to make additional investments in companies that require capital for technology development or growth and which will probably require managerial assistance. The Company’s primary focus will be on making non-control investments in small,






privately-held companies or public companies with what management believes are valuable products, processes or franchises. Generally, the Company intends to limit total cash investments in any individual portfolio company to the lesser of $500,000 or an amount equal to 10% of Company net assets at the time of investment. Because of the Company’s small size, investments may not always satisfy this criterion. For example, the acquisition of shares of GelStat Corporation did not do so. See Item IA, “Risk Factors - Concentration of Investments.” To date, the Company’s initial investment in each portfolio company has been significantly less than $500,000. By limiting the size of total investment in any one portfolio company, the Company hopes to reduce and diversify risk. In exchange for the Company’s investment in a portfolio company, the Company will receive securities issued by such portfolio company. The Company expects that substantially all portfolio company securities to be acquired will be common stock.

As a venture capital company, the Company makes it possible for its investors to participate at an early stage in emerging fields. To the investor, the Company offers a team of professionals including three full-time members of management who vote on all purchases and sales of portfolio company securities and prospective investments and who collectively have expertise in venture capital investing to evaluate and monitor investments; that is, officers and employees, rather than an investment adviser, manage operations under the general supervision of the board of directors.

Applicable law requires that the Company must invest at least 70% of its assets in privately-held U.S. companies, thinly-traded U.S. public companies, certain high-quality debt, and cash. The Company will be able to invest excess cash in U.S. government securities and high-quality debt maturing in one year or less. The Company will be able to invest up to 30% of its assets in opportunistic situations which are not subject to the limitations referred to above, in an effort to enhance returns to stockholders. These investments may include, but are not limited to, notes and bonds, distressed debt, bridge loans, private equity or securities of public companies.

The Company expects to invest in development stage or start-up businesses. Substantially all of the Company’s portfolio investments are in thinly capitalized, unproven, small companies focused on risky technologies. These businesses also tend to lack management depth, to have limited or no history of operations, and not to have attained profitability, and in some cases, not to have any revenue. Because of the speculative nature of these investments, these securities have a significantly greater risk of loss than traditional investment securities. Some of such venture capital investments are likely to be complete losses or unprofitable, and some will never realize their potential.

In connection with the Company’s venture capital investments, it will participate in providing a variety of services to portfolio companies, including the following:

·

recruiting management;

·

formulating operating strategies;

·

formulating intellectual property strategies;

·

assisting in financial planning;

·

assisting in investor relations;

·

providing management in the initial start-up stages; and

·

establishing corporate goals.

The Company may assist in raising additional capital for these companies from other potential investors and may subordinate the Company’s own investment to that of other investors. The Company may also find it necessary or appropriate to provide additional capital of its own. The Company may introduce its portfolio companies to potential joint venture partners, suppliers and customers. In addition, the Company may assist in establishing relationships between its portfolio companies and investment bankers and other professionals. The Company may also assist its portfolio companies with mergers and acquisitions. The Company expects to derive income from time to time from its portfolio companies for the performance of such services. Such income may be paid in cash or securities.

Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc. is headquartered in Wilmington Delaware and is publicly traded under the symbol “TXEG” on the OTC.BB market. Theater Xtreme designs, builds and installs high-quality home theater systems. This portfolio company opened its first design center in 2003 and now totals 14 locations with another 11 in various stages of opening. Theater Xtreme’s design centers focus on the sale and installation of affordable large screen front projection in-home cinema rooms comprised of video and audio home theater components. A majority of its home theater systems are installed on-site at customer homes, with screen sizes ranging from 80 inches to over 12 feet.

This portfolio company also sells theater seating, interior decor items, accessories and its proprietary digital theater management system called One View™. Theater Xtreme targets its home theater system marketing toward a larger consumer base than traditional custom home theater companies and focuses on lower retail price points in a store setting where customers can easily and readily encounter the complete home theater experience in a number of home settings.

The company recently announced that corporate and franchise sales orders of front projection theater systems have topped the 2000 mark in less than four years of operation. Since April 1, 2006, over 1000 system orders were taken, with overall combined sales orders in all categories exceeding $10 million. System prices range from $3,000 to $15,000.

SIVOO Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is publicly traded under the symbol “SIVO” on the OTC.PK market. SIVOO uses the power of the high-speed Internet, combined with proprietary technology, to create a world-entertainment network via the Internet. The company is creating a powerful, multi-cultural brand called SIVOO to provide foreign-language entertainment (movies, TV, sports, games and music) to the top 10 language groups in the U.S. The company plans to launch similar services internationally. SIVOO currently has 20,000 hours of programming in Spanish, Chinese and Hindi.

SIVOO was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Its management team anticipates exceptional growth in the market adoption for streaming video content and advertising through both the Internet and IPTV distribution channels. eMarketer projects that spending on Internet video advertising will more than double to $640 million in 2007 and is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2009.

Third Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. is a publicly traded company trading under the symbol “TDON” on the OTC.PK market. The company is focused on the design and synthesis of next-generation electro-optic materials. With humble beginnings, Third Order was started in the garage and basement of Dr. Frederick J. Goetz. In 1991, with a small amount of private funding, Dr. Goetz established a laboratory in Upland, PA. Third Order was thereafter invited to move its operations to laboratory space provided by the U.S. Army on Aberdeen Proving Grounds in cooperation with a division of the Department of Defense for the advancement of ultra wide-bandwidth satellite telecommunications.

Third Order designs and produces extremely high-end electro-optic materials. These molecularly engineered “nano – materials” exhibit unprecedented stability and electro-optic susceptibility, breaking open broad new applications and markets in fiber – optic telecom and high-speed computation.

Electro-optic plastics act as a nexus between light and electricity. Applying electricity to these materials changes their optical properties. This makes them ideal materials for everything from bio-imaging and extremely high-speed optical-based computer hardware to wireless/fiber – optic telecommunications.

Through superior performance, stability and cost-efficiency, Third Order anticipates that its proprietary electro-optic material architectures will supplant traditional inorganic (crystalline) and competitive organic (polymeric) technologies in future fiber-optic ground, wireless and satellite communication networks. One leading application of Third Order’s proprietary technology is fiber optic modulators.

Extreme Visual Technologies Inc. (“EVT”), currently a privately held company, intends to utilize commercial grade 3D digital technology to become an industry leader in the multi-billion dollar digital signage and embedded systems markets.

Creative Energy Solutions, Inc. (“CES”) was founded in late 2005 to utilize alternative energy technologies in order to alleviate the national electrical grid congestion. CES has focused on a systems solution to create a distributed power generation infrastructure allowing every household the opportunity to be part of the solution to grid congestion while reducing costs for both consumer and producer. CES is developing unique product lines such as the Home Energy Backbone™, the Green Energy Ready™, and Direct Methanol Fuel Cell consumer products to stage the introduction of this system solution. With the insertion of a variety of modular CES alternative energy products, the average household can not only reduce energy costs, but assure itself backup power in the event of an interruption of electrical service. CES is well versed with military and commercial electrical power applications, enabling it to easily provide the bridge between those two markets. The founders of CES have more than 35 years of experience in this field of technology.

GelStat Corporation is a publicly traded company under the symbol “CSAC” on the OTC:PK market. GelStat is engaged in research, development and marketing of OTC (over-the-counter, non-prescription) consumer healthcare products, targeted at the migraine and sleep therapy market segments. GelStat Corporation was founded in May, 2002. It became a publicly traded company through a merger with Developed Technology Resource, Inc. on April 30, 2003.

Valuation

The 1940 Act requires periodic valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio to determine the Company’s net asset value. Under the 1940 Act, unrestricted securities with readily available market quotations are to be valued at the current market value; all other assets must be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is responsible for (1) determining overall valuation guidelines and (2) ensuring the valuation of investments within the prescribed guidelines.

Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment could be sold in an orderly disposition over a reasonable time. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing assets, external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, are used whenever possible. Valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, nor immediate liquidation value, nor incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to Company investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated.

The Company’s valuation policy and methodology with respect to its portfolio companies are as follows:

A.

Cost: The cost method is based on the Company’s original cost. This method is generally used in the early stages of a portfolio company’s development until significant events occur subsequent to the date of the original investment that dictate a change to another valuation method. Some examples of these events are: (1) a major recapitalization; (2) a major refinancing; (3) a significant third-party transaction; (4) the development of a meaningful public market for such company’s common stock; and (5) significant changes in such company’s business.

B.

Private Market: The private market method uses actual, executed, historical transactions in a company’s securities by responsible third parties as a basis for valuation. The private market method may also use, where applicable, unconditional firm offers by responsible third parties as a basis for valuation.

C.

Public Market: The public market method is used when there is an established public market for the class of the portfolio company’s securities held by the Company and the shares held by the Company bear no legal or contractual restrictions. Securities for which market quotations are readily available are carried at market value as of the time of valuation. Market value for securities traded on securities exchanges or on the NASDAQ National Market is the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. For other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on a day, market value is the last quoted bid price on such day.

D.

Public Market/Restricted Securities: When the Company holds securities which are publicly traded but under significant legal or contractual restrictions, the Board of Directors starts with the public market value of the shares as set forth in (C) above and applies an appropriate discount based on the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions.

E.

Analytical Method: The analytical method is generally used to value an investment position when there is no established public or private market in the company’s securities or when the factual information available to the Company dictates that an investment should no longer be valued under either the cost or private market method. This valuation method is inherently imprecise and, ultimately, the result of reconciling the judgments of our directors based on the data available to them. The resulting valuation, although stated as a precise number, is necessarily within a range of values that vary depending upon the significance attributed to the various factors being considered. Some of the factors considered may include the financial condition and operating results of the portfolio company, the long-term potential of the business of the company, the values of similar securities issued by companies in similar businesses, the proportion of the portfolio company’s securities owned by the Company and the nature of any rights to require the portfolio company to register restricted securities under applicable securities laws.

Determination of Net Asset Value

The Company determines the net asset value per share of its common stock at the end of each fiscal quarter and on such other dates as is necessary. The net asset value per share of the common stock is equal to the value of the Company’s assets minus its liabilities divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

The net asset value and net asset value per share of the Company at the end of each fiscal quarter was as follows:

Taxation

The Company has not elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the Company is subject to corporate level income taxation on its income. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. Taxable income includes non-cash income, such as changes in accrued and reinvested interest and dividends, and the amortization of discounts and fees. Non-cash taxable income is reduced by non-cash expenses, such as realized losses and depreciation and amortization expense.

At April 30, 2007, the Company has taxable income of $794,060, which is the current year taxable income of $1,158,829 offset by net operating loss carryforwards of $364,769. The Company has accrued $316,000 for the current tax liability.

Competition

Competition in the investment management and venture capital industries has become increasingly intense over the past several years, and many money managers, hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, and other investment vehicles are actively competing for available investor capital and potentially profitable investments. To be successful in obtaining such capital, many competitors engage in expensive advertising and promotional campaigns which will be unavailable to the Company. Moreover, many competitors have been in business for long periods of time - in some cases for as long as many decades - and have established reputations, brand names, track records, back office and managerial support systems, and other advantages which the Company will be unable to duplicate in the near term, if ever. In addition, many such competitors, by virtue of their longevity or capital resources, have established lines of distribution to which the Company does not have access, and is not reasonably likely to be able to duplicate in the near term, if ever. The Company will compete with firms, including many larger securities and investment banking firms, which have substantially greater financial resources and research staffs than the Company does and therefore, the number of potentially profitable investments which the Company finds may be fewer and such investments, more difficult to identify than will be the case for some Company competitors. The disparity of resources could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage in investigating prospective investments and in executing trades.

Employees and Management Fees

The Company is internally managed and, although it does not pay fees to an advisor, it pays salaries to officers and employees. See Item 11, “Executive Compensation.” At such time, if ever, as the Company is externally managed, it shall comply with the requirements of Section 15 of the 1940 Act, including the requirement for stockholder approval of advisory fees.

As of April 30, 2007, the Company had four employees.

Regulation

Business development companies are exempt from certain of the requirements of the 1940 Act, but other provisions of the 1940 Act apply to them. For example, a majority of the Company’s directors must be persons who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. Additionally, the Company must maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect it against larceny and embezzlement. Furthermore, as a business development company, the Company must not offer to protect any director or officer against any liability to the Company or stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office.

The Company must adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Federal securities laws, review these policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation, and to designate a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures. The Company must maintain a code of ethics that establishes procedures for personal investment and restricts certain transactions by our personnel.

A business development company must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending primarily to eligible portfolio companies and making managerial assistance available to them. A business development company provides stockholders with the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock while sharing in the possible benefits, if any, as well as the risks of investing in small, early-stage companies.

As a business development company, the Company may not acquire any asset other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time it makes the acquisition, the value of qualifying assets represents at least 70% of the value of total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets are:

·

Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering, the issuer of which is an eligible portfolio company;

·

Securities received in exchange for or distributed with respect to securities described in the bullet above or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or rights relating to such securities; and

·

Cash, cash items, government securities or high quality debt securities (within the meaning of the 1940 Act), maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

An eligible portfolio company is generally a domestic company that is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by a business development company) and that:

·

does not have a class of securities with respect to which a broker may extend margin credit at the time the acquisition is made;

·

is actively controlled by the business development company and has an affiliate of a business development company on its board of directors; or

·

meets such other criteria as may be established by the SEC.

Control, as defined by the 1940 Act, is presumed to exist where a business development company beneficially owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the portfolio company.

To include certain securities described above as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, a business development company must make available to the issuer of those securities significant managerial assistance such as providing significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business



8



objectives and policies of the portfolio company. Consequently, the Company offers to provide significant managerial assistance to its portfolio companies.

As a business development company, the Company can issue senior securities such as debt securities and preferred stock, as long as each class of senior security has asset coverage of at least 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, the Company must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to its stockholders unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratio at the time of the distribution.

The Company may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of the members of our Board of Directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC.

The Company has designated a chief compliance officer, Joseph T. Drennan, and established a compliance program pursuant to the requirements of the 1940 Act.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The purchase of shares of capital stock of the Company involves many risks. A prospective investor should carefully consider the following factors before making a decision to purchase any such shares:

The Company's cash expenses are very large relative to its cash resources and cash flow which requires the Company continually to sell new shares or shares of portfolio companies. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had cash resources of $110,739. In the year ended April 30, 2007 the Company had revenues of $3,236,636, virtually all of which were received in the form of shares of portfolio companies. Consequently, the Company has been required either to sell new shares of Company common stock or shares of portfolio companies to raise the cash necessary to pay ongoing expenses and to make new investments. This practice is likely to continue in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008 and could lead to continuing dilution in the interest of existing Company stockholders. Moreover, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to find investors willing to purchase new Company shares or shares of portfolio companies at a price and on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case, the Company could deplete its cash resources. See, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation -- Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Regulations governing operations of a business development company will affect the Company's ability to raise, and the way in which the Company raises additional capital. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted, as a business development company, to issue senior securities only in amounts such that asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of portfolio assets declines, the Company may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, the Company may be required to sell a portion of its investments and, depending on the nature of the Company's leverage, repay a portion of its indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous and result in unfavorable prices.

Applicable law requires that business development companies may invest 70% of its assets only in privately held U.S. companies, small, publicly traded U.S. companies, certain high-quality debt, and cash.

The Company is not generally able to issue and sell common stock at a price below net asset value per share. The Company may, however, sell common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire common stock, at prices below the current net asset value of the common stock if the Board of Directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which the Company's securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price which, in the determination of the Board of Directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount).

The success of the Company will depend in part on its size, and in part on management's ability to make successful investments. If the Company is unable to select profitable investments, the Company will not achieve its objectives. Moreover, if the size of the Company remains small, operating expenses will be higher as a percentage of invested capital than would otherwise be the case, which increases the risk of loss (and reduces the chance for gain) for investors.

The Company's investment activities are inherently risky. The Company's investment activities involve a significant degree of risk. The performance of any investment is subject to numerous factors which are neither within the control of nor predictable by the Company. Such factors include a wide range of economic, political, competitive and other conditions which may affect investments in general or specific industries or companies.

Equity investments may lose all or part of their value, causing the Company to lose all or part of its investment in those companies. The equity interests in which the Company invests may not appreciate in value and may decline in value. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to realize gains from its investments and any gains that are realized on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any losses experienced. Moreover, the Company's primary objective is to invest in early stage companies, the products or services of which will frequently not have demonstrated market acceptance. Many portfolio companies lack depth of management and have limited financial resources. All of these factors make investments in the Company's portfolio companies particularly risky.

The Company common stock trades at a substantial premium to net asset value. Although the Company's net asset value was $0.81 per share at April 30, 2007, See Item 1, “Business – Determination of Net Asset Value,” the Company's common stock has been trading at prices of between $1.01 and $4.40 per share for the period May 1, 2006 through April 30, 2007. (The last sales price on July 15, 2007 was $1.01.) Purchasers of Company common stock might find that the price of a share of common stock may decline until the premium between the stock price and net asset value is reduced or disappears.

The Company's common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules which might make it harder for stockholders to sell. See the discussion of the penny stock rules at Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Repurchase of Equity Securities – Penny Stock Rules.”

Competition in the investment and venture capital industries is intense and the Company may be unable to compete successfully. See the discussion of the competition at Item 1, “Competition.”

There is no assurance of profits. There is no assurance that the Company will ever make a profit, or in fact that the Company will not lose all investors' subscriptions through operating expenses or capital losses.

Limited regulatory oversight may require potential investors to fend for themselves. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act which makes the Company exempt from some provisions of that statute. The Company is not registered as a broker-dealer or investment advisor because the nature of its proposed activities does not require it to do so; moreover it is not registered as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act, based on its intention not to trade commodities or financial futures. However, the Company is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of this limited regulatory oversight, the Company is not subject to certain operating limitations, capital requirements, or reporting obligations that might otherwise apply and investors may be left to fend for themselves.

Concentration of investments. The Company will attempt to allocate its equity among the securities of several different portfolio companies. However, a significant amount of the Company's equity could be invested in the securities of only a few companies. This risk is particularly acute during this time period of early Company's operations, which could result in significant concentration with respect to a particular issuer or industry. Any such concentration would also be worse during any time when the Company had a limited amount of available investment capital for the same reasons. The concentration of the Company's portfolio in any one issuer or industry would subject the Company to a greater degree of risk with respect to the failure of one or a few issuers or with respect to economic downturns in such industry than would be the case with a more diversified portfolio. At April 30, 2007, over 30% of the Company's asset value resulted from a single portfolio holding and over 75%, from three portfolio holdings.

Unlikelihood of cash distributions. Although the Company has the corporate power to make cash distributions, such distributions are not among the Company's objectives. Consequently, management does not expect to make any cash distributions in the immediate future. Moreover, even if cash distributions were made, they would depend on the size of the Company, its performance, and the expenses incurred by the Company.

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company was organized in the summer of 2004 for the sole purposes described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and has only a brief history of operations. As a result, the Company's size is small and its operating expenses are high relative to its assets. Moreover, the Company



10



is not as well known as many of its competitors because of its limited operating history. This fact, in turn, may prevent the Company from learning about worthwhile investment opportunities.

Because many of the Company's portfolio investments will be recorded at values as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, the prices at which the Company is able to dispose of these holdings may differ from their respective recorded values. The Company values its portfolio securities at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. However, the Company may be required on a more frequent basis to value the securities at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to the extent necessary to reflect significant events affecting the value of such securities. For privately held securities, and to a lesser extent, for publicly-traded securities, this valuation is an art and not a science. The Board of Directors may retain an independent valuation firm to aid it on a selective basis in making fair value determinations. The types of factors that may be considered in fair value pricing of an investment include the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison of the portfolio company to (other) publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow of the portfolio company, and other relevant factors. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate during short periods of time, and may be based on estimates, determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. As a result, the Company may not be able to dispose of its holdings at a price equal to or greater than the determined fair value. Net asset value could be adversely affected if the determination regarding the fair value of Company investments is materially higher than the values ultimately realized upon the disposal of such securities.

The lack of liquidity in the Company's investments would probably prevent the Company from disposing of them at opportune times and prices, which may cause a loss and/or reduce a gain. The Company will frequently make investments in privately held companies. Some of these securities will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of such investments may make it difficult to sell such investments at advantageous times and prices or in a timely manner. In addition, if the Company is required to liquidate all or a portion of its portfolio quickly, it may realize significantly less than the values recorded for such investments. The Company may also face other restrictions on its ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent that the Company has material non-public information regarding such portfolio company. If the Company is unable to sell its assets at opportune times, it might suffer a loss and/or reduce a gain. Restrictions on resale and limited liquidity are both factors the Board will consider in determining fair value of portfolio securities. Moreover, even investments in publicly-traded securities are likely to be relatively illiquid because the market for companies of the type in which the Company invests tend to be thin and usually cannot accommodate large volume trades.

Investing in privately held companies may be riskier than investing in publicly traded companies due to the lack of available public information. The Company will frequently invest in privately-held companies which may be subject to higher risk than investments in publicly traded companies. Generally, little public information exists about privately held companies, and the Company will be required to rely on the ability of management to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential risks and returns involved in investing in these companies. If the Company is unable to uncover all material information about these companies, it may not make a fully informed investment decision, and it may lose some or all of the money it invests in these companies. These factors could subject the Company to greater risk than investments in publicly traded companies and negatively affect investment returns.

The market values of publicly traded portfolio companies are likely to be extremely volatile. Even portfolio companies the shares of which are quoted for public trading will generally be thinly traded and subject to wide and sometimes precipitous swings in value.

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings.

Other than as described below, the Company is a party to certain proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business, none of which, in the current opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In July, 2006, McCrae Associates, LLC (“McCrae”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and its directors and officers in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuit alleges that McCrae is the owner of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and that the Company did not deliver to and is wrongfully withholding such shares from McCrae. The lawsuit alleges that the directors and officers conspired with the Company to deprive McCrae of such shares, and that the directors and officers owed a fiduciary duty to McCrae that they violated by refusing to tender the shares to McCrae upon demand. The lawsuit also alleges that all of the defendants violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. McCrae seeks delivery of a stock certificate covering the shares, unspecified monetary damages, including treble damages, attorney fees, and punitive damages. The Company is vigorously defending the action and has filed a counterclaim against McCrae and a third-party claim against Stephen Funk seeking to rescind the issuance of the shares to McCrae and to recover monetary damages on fraud and breach of contract theories. The Company also filed similar claims in the Chancery Court in Wilmington, Delaware seeking to rescind the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock to Liberator, LLC, a company it believes is controlled by Stephen Funk. Recently, the parties agreed to the voluntary dismissal of the action in Delaware with the express understanding that Liberator would be bound by the decision of the Court in Connecticut with respect to the McCrae shares. Recent efforts by the Company and McCrae to settle the litigation have been unsuccessful and the parties have commenced discovery.

The Company believes that McCrae’s claims lack merit and intends to defend against such claims vigorously.

The Company is aware that the Securities and Exchange Commission has begun an inquiry into whether the sale of shares of common stock by Third Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., one of the Company’s portfolio companies, was effected in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company has received a subpoena duces tecum to produce documentation in the Company’s possession which may be relevant to the SEC’s inquiry.

The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “UCMT”.

Holders

As of July 15, 2007, the Company had approximately 667 holders of record of the Common Stock. Since a portion of the Company’s common stock may be held in “street” or nominee name, the Company is unable to determine the exact number of beneficial holders.

Penny Stock Rules

The shares of Company common stock are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell Company securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons’ compensation.

Because a “penny stock” is, generally speaking, one selling for less than $5.00 per share, the Company’s common stock may be subject to the foregoing rules. The application of the penny stock rules may affect stockholders’ ability to sell their shares because some broker-dealers may not be willing to make a market in the Company’s common stock because of the burdens imposed upon them by the penny stock rules.

Dividends

The Company currently anticipates that it will retain all of its earnings to finance the operation and expansion of its business, and therefore does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Since its inception, the Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, limitations contained in loan agreements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. However, the Company may from



13



time to time distribute shares or interests in portfolio companies. On July 24, 2006, the Company declared a dividend payable in the shares of the common stock of one of its portfolio companies, Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Theater”). The dividend was payable to Company shareholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2006, and was distributed on August 11, 2006. The dividend consisted of 0.055 shares of the common stock of Theater for each share of Company common stock owned on the record date or 299,064 Theater shares in the aggregate.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended, estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto.

The Company is a public venture capital company. Its primary business is to invest in emerging growth companies. The Company intends to assist these companies in strategic and financial planning, in market strategies and to assist them in trying to achieve prudent and profitable growth. Management is devoting most of its efforts to general business planning, raising capital, and seeking appropriate investments.

The Company’s primary investment objective is to increase its net assets by adding value to the portfolio companies and thus, increasing stockholder value. Management believes that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives by concentrating on investments in companies which are most likely to benefit from management's expertise in finance, strategic planning, operations, and technology.

The income that the Company derives from investments in portfolio companies consists of management fees, interest income, and appreciation (net of depreciation) in the values of portfolio companies. At the time of disposition, the disposition proceeds of these portfolio securities will most likely make up most of the Company’s cash revenues.

Consequently, the Company’s success or failure will depend on investing in companies which appreciate in value more than other companies in which the Company invests depreciate in value. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Board of Directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of the securities and assets held by the Company for which market quotations are not readily available. In making its determination, the Board of Directors may consider valuation appraisals provided by independent financial experts. The Company expects to pay a professional fee each



16



time such a valuation is provided. With respect to private equity securities, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and then the value may be assigned a discount reflecting the particular nature of the investment.

The Board of Directors bases its determination of value on, among other things, applicable quantitative and qualitative factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of securities, the nature of the business of the portfolio company, the marketability of the securities, the market price of unrestricted securities of the same issue (if any), comparative valuation of securities of publicly traded companies in the same or similar industries, current financial conditions and operating results of the portfolio company, sales and earnings growth of the portfolio company, operating revenues of the portfolio company, competitive conditions, and current and prospective conditions in the overall economy and the equity markets.

Without a readily recognized market value, the estimated value of some portfolio securities may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if there existed a ready market for such equity securities.

Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets, net assets, net asset value per share, unrealized appreciation or depreciation are set forth in the following table:

The changes in total assets, net assets and net asset value per share for the year ended April 30, 2007 were primarily attributable to:

·

The net unrealized (depreciation) on investments of ($58,953) mainly due to a decrease in the value of the shares of Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc., and Gelstat Corporation offset in part by an increase in the value of the shares of SIVOO Holdings, Inc. and Neptune Industries, Inc.

·

The increase of 400,000 shares in the Company’s investment in SIVOO Holdings, Inc.

·

The net increase of 412,500 shares in the Company’s investment in Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. The Company sold 587,500 unrestricted shares of Third- Order, of which 495,000 were sold to allow Third-Order to establish an Investor Relations program and 92,500 shares were sold to enhance the Company’s working capital. The Company acquired 1,000,000 restricted shares of Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc. as payment for management services to be provided, under contract, to Third-Order by the Company.

·

The Company’s investment in 2,000,000 shares of Extreme Visual Technologies, Inc.

·

The Company’s investment in 2,000,000 shares of Creative Energy Solutions, Inc.

·

The Company’s sale and liquidation of its investment in 1,000,000 shares of Accelapure Corporation for $100.

·

The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $157,000.

·

The increase in current income taxes payable of $316,000.

·

The increase in notes payable of $425,000.

The Company’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) varies significantly from year to year as a result of the wide fluctuation in the value of the Company’s portfolio securities. For example, the Company enjoyed cumulative a unrealized gain of $557,861 on its holdings of SIVOO Holdings, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to a cumulative unrealized gain of $152,389 for the year ending April 30, 2006 as a result of an increase of $0.28 in the value of the portfolio shares during such time period and the addition of 400,000 shares of SIVOO Holdings, Inc. to the portfolio. By contrast the company suffered a cumulative unrealized loss of ($45,257) on its holdings of Theater Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc. for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to an unrealized gain of $373,750 for the year ended April30, 2006.

The Company had cumulative unrealized appreciation of $733,068 at April 30, 2007 compared to cumulative unrealized appreciation of $792,020 at April 30, 2006.

At April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, $6,011,882 or 94.6% and $3,331,620 or 93.9% of the Company's assets, respectively, consisted of investments, of which net unrealized gains before the income tax effect were $733,068 and $792,020, respectively. Deferred taxes have been estimated at approximately $50,000 and $68,000, respectively.

Results of Operations

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. On this basis, the principal measure of a Company's financial performance is the net increase in net assets. Net assets comprise (i) income from operations, (ii) net realized gain or loss on investment, which is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio securities and their stated cost, and (iii) increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation on investments.

Company expenses include salaries and wages (but salaries did not accrue until November 15, 2004), professional fees, office expenses and supplies, rent, travel, and other normal business expenses. General and administrative costs include rent, depreciation, office, investor relations and other overhead costs.

Year ended April 30, 2007 compared to the year ended April 30, 2006 and the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005.

For the year ended April 30, 2007 the Company had revenue for services in the amount of $3,236,636 compared to $894,745 for the year ended April 30, 2006 and $211,250 for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005, 97% of the Company’s revenue for services was received in the form of equity securities for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to 99% for the year ended April 30, 2006 and 100% for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005.

Total operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2007 were $2,246,753, the principal components of which were professional fees of $1,279,295, of which $447,000 represents option expense, approximately $330,000 investor relations expense, approximately $300,000 legal expense, approximately $97,000 consulting expense and approximately $62,000 auditing and accounting expense. Additionally, principal components of operating expenses include $706,934 for payroll which includes $187,946 of share based compensation expense, $68,410 of insurance expense and $48,337 of travel and entertainment expense, By comparison, total operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2006 were $990,802, the principal components of which were payroll of $508,632, professional fees of $240,640, insurance of $73,124 and travel and entertainment of $60,437 and for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005 total operating expenses were $736,063, the principal components of which were payroll of $232,478, merger costs of $281,410 and professional fees of $139,271.

The Company realized a profit from operations of $989,883 for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to a loss from operations of ($96,057) for the year ended April 30, 2006 and a loss from operations of ($524, 813) for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005.

The company had net cumulative unrealized appreciation of $733,067 at year end April 30, 2007 compared to cumulative unrealized appreciation of $792,020 at year end April 30, 2006 and $2,168,476 at the period ended August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From inception, the Company has relied for liquidity on the infusion of capital through capital share transactions. The Company only had about $110,000 of cash at April 30, 2007. Consequently, payment of operating expenses and cash with which to make investments will have to come similarly from equity capital to be raised from investors or from borrowed funds. The Company has borrowed $425,000, on a short term basis, from Noteholders and $150,000 in advances from a shareholder. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such additional equity capital or additional borrowings or if it can, that it can do so at a price that management believes to be appropriate. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company may not sell shares of common stock at less than its net asset value except in certain limited circumstances.

At this time, the Company does not plan to dispose of any of its current portfolio securities to meet operational needs. However, despite its plans, the Company may be forced to dispose of a portion of these securities if it ever becomes short of cash. Any such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s business activities contain elements of risk. The Company considers a principal type of market risk to be a valuation risk. All assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices). Market prices of common equity securities in general, are subject to fluctuations which could cause the amount to be realized upon sale to differ significantly from the current reported value. The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the Company's portfolio companies, the relative prices of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security.

Neither the Company’s investments nor an investment in the Company is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. The Company will be subject to exposure in the public-market pricing and the risks inherent therein.

Universal Capital Management, Inc.

Wilmington, DE

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Universal Capital Management, Inc. as of April 30, 2007 and 2006, including the schedule of investments as of April 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows, and the financial highlights (contained in Note 12 to the financial statements) for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to April 30, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Universal Capital Management, Inc. as of April 30, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations, its cash flows, changes in net assets and financial highlights for the years ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) through April 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

UNIVERSAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

History and Nature of Business

Universal Capital Management, Inc. (the “Company”) is a public venture capital company. The Company is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional channels. The Company refers to companies in which it invests as “portfolio companies.”

Security Valuations

Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market (such as OTC BB, Pink Sheets, etc) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Restricted securities and other securities (small, privately-held companies) for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the board of directors.

Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with the securities of certain portfolio companies, it is likely that changes in their values will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of assets and liabilities at future dates.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from the estimates.

Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all investment instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions to limit its credit exposure.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. For financial accounting purposes, depreciation is generally computed by the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Furniture and fixtures

5 to 7 years

Computer and office equipment

3 to 7 years




29



UNIVERSAL CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rates.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes arise principally from the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from appreciation in investment value for financial statements purposes, while for income tax purposes, gains or losses are only recognized when realized (disposition). When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized loss, provision is made for a deferred tax asset. When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized gain, provision is made for a deferred tax liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable to refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123(R) supercedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB25”) Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach of SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro Forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123(R) is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005 for a small business issuer. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) effective May 1, 2006.

Recoverability of Long Lived Assets

The Company follows SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“Statement 144”). Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. FIN 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and will become effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2007, and the provisions of FIN 48 will be applied to all tax positions under Statement No. 109 upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this interpretation will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FIN 48 on its financial statements. The Company expects the implementation of FIN 48 to reduce retained earnings by approximately $410,000, net of taxes

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 addresses the process and diversity in practice of quantifying financial statement misstatements resulting in the potential build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SAB No.108 in fiscal 2007. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will become effective beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the April 30, 2006 and 2005 statement of assets and liabilities to conform to the April 30, 2007 presentation.

NOTE 9 – ADVANCES FROM SHAREHOLDER

Amount represents advances from shareholder to cover operating expenses. There is no stated interest rate or repayment terms.

NOTE 10 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values at the date of grant. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

On May 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method as permitted under SFAS 123(R). Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to but not yet vested as of April 30, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. In accordance with the modified prospective method of adoption, the Company’s results of operations and financial position for prior periods have not been restated.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the grant-date fair value of an award, with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 34%, risk-free interest rate between 3.8% and 5.1% and expected option life of two and ten years.

During the year ending April 30, 2007, the Company’s net income was approximately $187,946 lower as a result of stock-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R). As of April 30, 2007, there was approximately $19,054 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested market-based share awards that is expected to be recognized through May 2009.

Prior to May 1, 2006, the Company followed the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The provisions of SFAS No. 123 allowed companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), but disclose the pro forma effects on net income had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company elected to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.

There were no employee stock options issued by the Company prior to May 1, 2006.

All of the options expire in ten years. These options are valued at $151,000, fair value.

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

In May 2006, the Company granted a shareholder of the Company options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an option price of $2.00 per share. On June 15, 2006, this shareholder exercised the option in full and paid for the shares with a promissory note in the face amount of $800,000. The promissory note called for monthly payments of principal and interest over 12 months and was secured by a pledge of the purchased shares. On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with the stockholder to accept 1,000,000 shares of Extreme Visual Technologies, Inc. common stock in exchange for $800,000 principal and $13,888 interest on the promissory note, and is reflected as contributed capital.

NOTE 10 – CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

On July 20, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend to shareholders of record on July 31, 2006 in the form of .055 shares of the common stock of Theatre Xtreme Entertainment Group, Inc., a Company portfolio company. This dividend in kind was distributed in August 2006, but for accounting purposes was recorded as of July 31, 2006. The total number of shares of Theater Xtreme distributed was 299,064 for a total value of $448,595.

During the year ended April 30, 2007, the officers and directors of the Company surrendered their rights to compensation that has been deferred in the current year as well as all previous years. This deferred compensation amounted to $575,531, which is reflected as contributed capital.

NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCY

In July 2006, McCrae Associates, LLC (“McCrae) filed a lawsuit against the Company and its directors and officers in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuit alleges that McCrae is the owner of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and that the Company did not deliver to and is wrongfully withholding such shares from McCrae. The lawsuit alleges that the directors and officers conspired with the Company to deprive McCrae of such shares, and that the directors and officers owed a fiduciary duty to McCrae that they violated by refusing to tender the shares to McCrae upon demand. The lawsuit also alleges that all of the defendants violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. McCrae seeks delivery of a stock certificate covering the shares, unspecified monetary damages, including treble damages, attorney fees and punitive damages. The Company is vigorously defending the action and has filed a counter-claim against McCrae and a third-party claim against Stephen Funk seeking to rescind the issuance of shares to McCrae and to recover monetary damages on fraud and breach of contract theories. The Company also filed similar claims in the Chancery Court in Wilmington, Delaware seeking to rescind the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock to Liberator, LLC, a company it believes is controlled by Stephen Funk. Recently, the parties agreed to the voluntary dismissal of the action in Delaware with the express understanding that Liberator would be bound by the decision of the Court in Connecticut with respect to the McCrae shares. Recent efforts by the Company and McCrae to settle the litigation have been unsuccessful and the parties have commenced discovery.

The Company believes that McCrae’s claims lack merit and intends to defend against such claims vigorously.
