1. BUSINESS
Corporate
Information
Phoenix
International ventures, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) was
incorporated on August 7, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Phoenix
Aerospace, Inc. was incorporated on April 18, 2003 under the laws of the State
of Nevada. The Company, Zahir Teja, and Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. entered into a
Share Exchange Agreement dated as of December 1, 2006. Under the Share Exchange
Agreement, Mr. Teja, the sole owner and principal of Phoenix Aerospace, Inc.
exchanged all the issued and outstanding shares of Phoenix Aerospace, Inc.’s
common stock for 3,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. As a
result of this transaction, Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Mr. Teja became a principal stockholder of and
continued to be a principal of the Company. The effective date of this
transaction was January 1, 2007.
General
Phoenix
International Ventures, Inc. was formed to invest and develop business in the
fields of aerospace and defense. We, through our wholly owned subsidiary,
Phoenix Aerospace, Inc., manufacture, upgrade and remanufacture electrical,
hydraulic and mechanical support equipment primarily for the United States Air
Force and Navy and the United States defense-aerospace industry. Currently our
support equipment is used to maintain or operate various aircrafts or aircraft
systems, such as the F-22 fighter and F-16 fighter, which are in current
production; the P-3 surveillance plane and various other `legacy' aircraft which
are no longer in production.
Some of
the support equipment for a number of weapon systems in current production, as
well as `legacy' weapon systems are in need of overhaul or are obsolete and need
to be replaced. We remanufacture some of the existing support equipment, and
also manufacture new support equipment. Frequently new support
equipment is often not available, has long delivery lead times, or is very
expensive to purchase. Upgrading and remanufacturing of existing support
equipment thus becomes an alternative. Our remanufacturing process for existing
support equipment is designed to respond to this market.
Our
remanufacturing process involves breaking down the support equipment for
analysis, replacing or refurbishing broken or defective components, rebuilding
the support equipment, and finally testing the support equipment so that it has
the same form, fit and function of the original support equipment in accordance
with the original manufacturer's specifications.
We
also design and manufacture new ground support equipment. In this
process, we generally bid on a government contract after conducting an internal
cost analysis and pricing plan. We then submit a formal proposal based on our
estimated budget. Once the contract has been awarded, we would design
the requested unit and test a prototype before producing the units.
The
Military Market
The U.S.
military market which we contract with and seek to contract with includes two
branches of the U.S. military-the U.S. Air Force (the “USAF”) and the U.S.
Navy-and a number of contractors who have extensive business relationships with
branches of the U.S. military.
-3-
The U.S.
military market is largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the
defense budget. The funding of government programs is subject to Congressional
appropriation. While U.S. defense contractors have benefited from an upward
trend in overall defense spending in the last few years, the ultimate size of
future defense budgets remains uncertain. Current indications are that the total
defense budget will remain the same or decrease over the next few years.
However, Department of Defense programs in which we participate, or in which we
may seek to participate in the future, must compete with other programs for
consideration during our nation's budget formulation and appropriation
processes. Budget decisions made in this environment may have long-term
consequences for our size and structure and that of the defense industry. While
we believe that our programs are a high priority for national defense, there
remains the possibility that one or more of our programs will be reduced,
extended, or terminated. Reductions in our existing programs, unless offset by
other programs and opportunities, could adversely affect our ability to grow our
revenues and profitability. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in
connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a
fiscal year basis even though a program may be expected to continue for several
years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded and additional
funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations.
The
U.S. Government and U.S. Defense Contractors Contracting Process
Our U.S.
government contracts are obtained through the Department of Defense procurement
process as governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulations and related
regulations and agency supplements, and are historically fixed-price contracts.
This means that the price is agreed upon before the contract is awarded and we
assume complete responsibility for any difference between estimated and actual
costs. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, we entered into several cost
plus contracts. This means that under the applicable agreement, we are entitled
to be reimbursed for our costs and are entitled to be paid a fixed rate of
return. What constitutes reimbursable costs and the prescribed rate of return is
ordinarily subject to negotiation.
Under the
Truth in Negotiations Act of 1962 (the “Negotiations Act”), the U.S. government
has the right for three years after final payment on certain negotiated
contracts, subcontracts and modifications, to determine whether we furnished the
U.S. government with complete, accurate and current cost or pricing data as
defined by the Negotiations Act. If we fail to satisfy this requirement, the
U.S. government has the right to adjust a contract or subcontract price by the
amount of any overstatement as defined by the Negotiations Act.
U.S.
government contracts permit the U.S. government to unilaterally terminate these
contracts at its convenience. In the event of such termination, we are entitled
to reimbursement for certain expenditures and overhead as provided for in
applicable U.S. government procurement regulations. Generally, this results in
the contractor being reasonably compensated for work actually done, but not for
anticipated profits. The U.S. government also may terminate contracts for cause
if we fail to perform in strict accordance with contract terms. Termination of,
or elimination of appropriation for, a significant government contract could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations in subsequent periods. Similarly, U.S. government contracts
typically permit the U.S. government to change, alter or modify the contract at
its discretion. If the U.S. government were to exercise this right, we could be
entitled to reimbursement of all allowable and allocable costs incurred in
making the change plus a reasonable profit.
Depending
on the size, complexity, and duration of the particular agreement, the U.S.
government may either pay for the manufactured or remanufactured product upon
delivery and acceptance thereof or pay for the manufactured or remanufactured
product in installments upon the accomplishment of specified milestones and/or
an agreed payment timetable.
Ordinarily,
a prospective vendor seeking to do business with the U.S. Department of Defense
or with U.S. defense contractors is required to prepare the company to be
International Standard Organization (“ISO”) certified. This means that it has to
have proper written management procedures on all facets of its business
including but not limited to, quoting to a customer, receiving purchase orders,
issuing purchase orders, issuing work orders, tracking work orders, quality
control for incoming materials and outgoing finished goods and inspections and
acceptance, etc. and that the vendor is operating its business following these
procedures.
-4-
Once a
vendor has these management procedures in place, it has to engage the services
of an independent certified company that is qualified to audit these procedures
and confirm that the vendor is following them in its day-to-day operations. This
will result in a vendor being ISO certified. This certification does not mean
that the vendor has technical capabilities or the ability to perform on a
contract. This certification informs a potential customer that the company has
written procedures which it follows when conducting its day-to-day
business.
Obtaining
this certification is burdensome and time-consuming because the vendor has to
have a full complement of personnel in different departments who are able to
perform tasks per the written procedures; all the while no revenues are
generated. Our subsidiary, PAI, received this certification in
2003. Our certification was renewed effective April 26, 2007 for an
additional three year period.
Once a
vendor is ISO-certified, a vendor is in a position to solicit business from a
defense contractor (customer), who frequently has its own quality assurance
program. Typically, for the first contract/purchase order, if the customer
decides it wants to procure goods and services from a vendor, then the customer
prior to issuing a contract/purchase order would schedule to send (generally at
its own expense), an inspector or team of inspectors to go to the vendor
facility and determine for itself, using its own criteria: the technical
capabilities, facilities, quality assurance procedures etc. Once satisfied, then
and only then they will issue a purchase order. This is done at the expense of
the customer and the customer will only spend money for this expense, if it
determines that the vendor has the possibility to supply goods and services that
are beneficial to the customer.
This
appraisal of the vendor by a customer prior to issuing a contract/purchase order
to the vendor gives the customer reasonable assurance that the goods and
services it is procuring from a vendor will be delivered to them in the manner
prescribed in the contract/purchase order.
Products
and Services
Our
support equipment is used to maintain or operate various aircrafts or aircraft
systems, such as the F-22 fighter and F16 fighter, each of which is in current
production and the P-3 surveillance plane and various other `legacy' aircraft
which are no longer in production.
We have
remanufactured or are currently remanufacturing: (a) for the U.S. Navy, BR-61
electrical/electronic Test Sets, used to test aircraft environmental systems for
the P-3 surveillance plane; (b) for Lockheed Martin, MJ1A Weapons loaders
(multi-platform) for use by the U.S. Air Force; and (c) for Lockheed Martin,
A/M32A-95 Air Start Carts (multi-platform) for the U. S. Air Force's F-22
fighter. With
respect to each of the previously described programs, we break down the support
equipment for analysis, replacing or refurbishing broken or defective
components, rebuilding the support equipment, and finally testing the support
equipment so that it has the same form, fit and function of the original support
equipment in accordance with the original manufacturer's
specifications.
We are
currently designing and manufacturing for the USAF, two aircraft engine trailers
applicable to multi-platform aircrafts, including the F-16, from a $2,450,450
contract awarded to us in September 2008. Under this contract, we
will be designing and producing two new types of aircraft engine trailers and
manufacturing several units. This contract also has an awarded, but
not yet exercised, option to purchase an additional 25 trailers, for a price of
$2,900,000. We are also currently designing and remanufacturing
certain test boxes for the U.S. Navy, and Air Condition units for Astro
Tek.
On
occasion during fiscal 2007, 2008 and through the date of this report, we have
been engaged by a branch of the U.S. military, to perform a feasibility study
for various different items of support equipment to address obsolescence issues
and recommend solutions to extend service life for the item of support equipment
analyzed. Once the recommended solution is approved by the branch of the U.S.
military, then we would be requested to manufacture several units of each item
as proof of concept. One of the outgrowths of such a study is the potential to
be awarded a contract to implement the study's recommendations.

Market
Opportunity and Strategy
Management
believes that the scope of the market opportunity for manufacturing and
remanufacturing/refurbishing support equipment for the U.S. military market is
viable. The viability of the business opportunity is supported by the following
market characteristics:
·
|
the
aging support equipment in the field at large – we were contracted by the
U.S. Air Force to design new engine trailers that can replace aging
support equipment still in use;
|
|
·
|
the
growing demand for U.S. military preparedness given the current global
political climate;
|
|
·
|
the
surge in defense spending from a little over $300 billion before the
September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States to over $400 billion
annually; and
|
·
|
the
U.S. military's insistence that defense contractors operate efficiently
and timely to deliver the much needed military
equipment.
|
It is
difficult to determine what portion of the above-referenced defense spending
will be allocated to manufacturing, remanufacturing, and refurbishing of support
equipment. Moreover, there is no assurance that the previously set forth market
characteristics will not change. See additional discussion in Item 1A - “Risk
Factors”.
The
military market is currently dominated by major players such as Lockheed Martin
Corporation, Honeywell International Inc, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and DRS,
Inc. We do not intend to compete with these large defense contractors, rather we
seek to establish approved contractor, licensing, and teaming relationships with
defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin and Honeywell. Management believes
that these contractual relationships, coupled with our designation as a U.S.
Navy and U.S. Air Force “Prime Contractor” and a U.S. Navy Designated Repair
Depot for certain support equipment, will facilitate our ability to successfully
bid on and timely complete contracts with branches of the U.S.
military.
Customization
Customization
of our products is not a material aspect of our business.
Supply
and Manufacturing
Our
design, engineering and assembly facilities are located in our Carson City,
Nevada headquarters. These facilities comply with certain U.S. military
requirements necessary for the manufacture and assembly of products supplied to
it and we have qualified our facility in order to meet the quality management
and assurance standards (ISO-9001)/2000) of the International Organization for
Standardization.
In the
course of our remanufacturing process for a particular product, we must obtain
replacement parts for worn out or defective components. In this circumstance, we
may seek to purchase the replacement component from the original manufacturer or
a distributor. Except as described below, we are not ordinarily a party to any
formal written contract regarding the deliveries of supplies and components or
their fabrication. We usually purchases such items pursuant to written purchase
orders of both individual and blanket variety. Blanket purchase orders usually
entail the purchase of a larger amount of items at fixed prices for delivery and
payment on specific dates.
-6-
We rely
on suppliers located in the United States and Europe. Certain components used in
our products are obtained from sole sources. We have occasionally experienced
delays in deliveries of components and may experience similar problems in the
future. In an attempt to minimize such problems when we secure a contract, which
involves parts that are generally more difficult to obtain, we may obtain the
parts and keep them in inventory. However, any interruption, suspension or
termination of component deliveries from our suppliers could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Ordinarily,
we will not agree to remanufacture a particular support unit unless Management
believes that there are readily available sources of supply. Although Management
believes that in nearly every case alternate sources of supply can be located,
inevitably a certain amount of time would be required to find substitutes.
During any such interruption in supplies, we may have to curtail the production
and sale of the affected products for an indefinite period.
We
entered into an arrangement with a defense equipment manufacturer in October,
2003 concerning licensing such manufacturer's technical data in connection with
the repair/refurbishment of P-3 support equipment for sale to the U.S.
government. This agreement is a non-transferable, non-exclusive royalty bearing
license. We are required to pay royalties related to sales of the support
equipment to the particular licensor for a term of five years. The respective
parties' performance is subject to other terms, conditions and restrictions,
including, without limitation, the maintenance of certain quality
standards.
Warranty
and Customer Service
We
generally provide one-year warranties on all of our products covering both parts
and labor, although extended warranties may be purchased by customers. At our
option, we repair or replace products that are defective during the warranty
period if the proper usage and preventive maintenance procedures have been
followed by our customers. Repairs that are necessitated by misuse of such
products or are required beyond the warranty period are not covered by our
normal warranty.
In cases
of defective products, the customer typically returns them to our Carson City,
Nevada facility. Our service personnel then replace or repair the defective
items and ship them back to the customer. Generally, all servicing is done at
our plant, and we charge our customers a fee for those service items that are
not covered by warranty. Except for our extended warranties, we do not offer our
customers any formal written service contracts.
Marketing
and Sales
We market
our products and services through direct contact with officials of branches of
the U.S. military and officials of various major defense contractors. In
addition, we promote our products and services through the dissemination of
product literature to potential customers and the attendance and exhibition at
trade shows and seminars. We do not have an internal sales force specifically
dedicated to the sales and marketing of our products and services. We do not
advertise in trade periodicals. Management believes that most of our sales leads
are generated by word-of-mouth referrals.
In the
military market, the sales cycle for our products usually entails a number of
complicated steps and can take from six months to two years. The sales cycle in
the commercial markets is generally not as complex or time consuming, but still
may take as long as two years. Sales to the military and government markets are
greatly influenced by special budgetary and spending factors pertinent to these
organizations.
-7-
Customers
We sell
our products, directly or indirectly, primarily to the U.S. military market and
large aerospace and military contractors. We also sell to various European
customers.

The loss

business.
Competition
We
compete in our market against other concerns, most of which are larger and have
greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than
we do. We compete on the basis of service, performance, reliability, price, and
deliveries.
-8-
We
encounter competition from Lockheed Martin Corporation, Boeing Corporation,
Honeywell Aerospace GmbH, United Technologies Corporation, Northrop Grumman
Corporation, and DRS, Inc. as well as from Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and
Logistical Support, Inc.
In the
military and government markets, we will often be engaged, directly or
indirectly, in the process of seeking competitive bid or negotiated contracts
with government departments and agencies. These government contracts are subject
to the Federal Acquisition Regulations with which we may have difficulty
complying. However, we are often one of only a few companies whose products meet
the required specifications designated by such customers.
Management
believes that there are a number of barriers to entry into the military market.
A would-be entrant would ordinarily, first need to obtain ISO9000 or applicable
ISO certification. Then, customers in the U.S. defense industry and U.S.
government departments would then certify such entrant's facilities, technical
capabilities, and quality assurance program before such entrant can qualify to
do business. The startup costs, Management believes, to get certified and to
become an approved vendor are substantial. In addition, the would-be entrant
must become familiar with and be willing to accept the risks of the U.S.
government military procurement system. Management believes that we have the
following competitive advantages over would-be entrants into the U.S. military
markets. We are a:

Backlog
As of
December 31, 2008, our backlog was approximately $5,693,160 as compared with a
backlog of approximately $3,644,905 as of December 31, 2007. Four customers
accounted for approximately 39%, 18%, 12%, and 12% of such backlog as of
December 31, 2008. We presently expect to manufacture and deliver most of the
products in our backlog within the next 12 months.
Substantially
all of our backlog figures are based on written purchase orders or contracts
executed by the customer and involve product deliveries. All orders are subject
to cancellation. However, in that event, we are generally entitled to
reimbursement of our cost and negotiated profits; provided that such contracts
would have been profitable.
Research
and Development Activities
We do not
devote a material amount of time to separate research and development
activities.
Intellectual
Property
To date,
our generated proprietary information and know-how are an important aspect of
our commercial success. Although we do not have a separate research and
development department, we nevertheless obtain important proprietary information
and know-how in connection with the fulfillment of our obligations under our
agreements with the U.S government and defense contractors. We have entered into
two licensing arrangements whereby the specified U.S. defense contractor has
agreed to share its technical data under licensing agreements concerning the
sale of particular support equipment to a branch of the U.S. military. We hold
no patents or copyrights and do not have trademark protection for the Phoenix
International Ventures or Phoenix Aerospace names. We require each of our
employees to sign confidential information agreements. There can be no assurance
that others will not either develop independently the same or similar
information or obtain and use proprietary information used by us.
Management
believes that our products do not infringe the proprietary rights of third
parties. In this regard, we seek to obtain representations and warranties of
non-infringement from persons with respect to whom we enter into technical data
licensing agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties
will not assert infringement claims against us in the future or be successful in
asserting such claims.
Subsidiaries
We have
two wholly owned subsidiaries: Phoenix Aerospace, Inc., a Nevada corporation,
and Phoenix Europe Ventures, Ltd., an Israeli corporation.
Government
Regulations and Contracts; Compliance with Government Regulation
Due to
the nature of the products we design, manufacture and sell for military
applications, we are subject to certain U.S. Department of Defense regulations.
In addition, commercial enterprises engaged primarily in supplying equipment and
services, directly or indirectly, to the United States government are subject to
special risks such as dependence on government appropriations, termination
without cause, contract renegotiation and competition for the available
Department of Defense business. We have no material Department of Defense
contracts that are subject to renegotiation in the foreseeable future and are
not aware of any proceeding to terminate material Department of Defense
contracts in which we may be indirectly involved. In addition, many of our
contracts provide for customer rights to audit our cost records and are subject
to regulations providing for price reductions if we submitted inaccurate cost
information.
-10-
Government
contracts governing our products are often subject to termination, negotiation
or modification in the event of changes in the government's requirements or
budgetary constraints. A majority of the products we sell for government
applications are sold to companies acting as contractors or subcontractors and
not directly to government entities. Agreements with such contractors or
subcontractors generally are not conditioned upon completion of the contract by
the prime contractor. To the extent that such contracts are so conditioned, a
failure of completion may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Currently, we do not have any contracts so conditioned.
The
contracts for sale of our products are generally fixed-priced contracts. This
means that the price is set in advance and generally may not be varied. Such
contracts require us to properly estimate our costs and other factors prior to
commitment in order to achieve profitability and compliance. Our failure to do
so may result in unreimbursable cost overruns, late deliveries or other events
of non-compliance.
Under
certain circumstances, we are also subject to certain U.S. State Department and
U.S. Department of Commerce requirements involving prior clearance of foreign
sales. Such export control laws and regulations either ban the sale of certain
equipment to specified countries or require U.S. manufacturers and others to
obtain necessary federal government approvals and licenses prior to export. As a
part of this process, we, in the event we engage foreign distributors, would
generally require such foreign distributors to provide documents which indicate
that the equipment is not being transferred to, or used by, unauthorized parties
abroad.
We and
our agents are also governed by the restrictions of the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, ("FCPA") which prohibits the promise or
payments of any money, remuneration or other items of value to foreign
government officials, public office holder, political parties and others with
regard to the obtaining or preserving commercial contracts or orders. We have
required our foreign distributors to comply with the requirements of FCPA All
these restrictions may hamper us in our marketing efforts abroad.
Our
manufacturing operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws,
including those restricting or regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. We are
not involved in any pending or threatened proceedings which would require
curtailment of, or otherwise restrict our operations because of such
regulations, and compliance with applicable environmental laws has not had a
material effect upon our capital expenditures, financial condition or results of
operations.
Management
believes that although we are required to implement certain additional
procedures that would not otherwise be required in order to comply with
applicable federal laws and regulations, such compliance has not generally
inhibited or limited our ability to enter into material contracts.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2008, we had six full time employees, including two officers, and
also had two part time employees, including one officer. Five of these employees
were engaged in operations and three were engaged in administration, marketing,
and business development.
None of
our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are
represented by a labor union. We consider our relationships with our employees
to be satisfactory.
The
design and manufacture of our equipment requires substantial technical
capabilities in many disparate disciplines from engineering, mechanics and
electronics. While Management believes that the capability and experience of our
technical employees compares favorably with other similar manufacturers, there
can be no assurance that we can retain existing employees or attract and hire
the highly capable technical employees necessary in the future on terms we deem
favorable, if at all.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should
carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other
information included or referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before
purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks,
known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks
described below are not the only ones we will face. If any of these risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be
materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of
their investment.
Risks
Related To Our Business
We have a limited operating history
and therefore it may be difficult to evaluate our Company and our
prospects.
We were
recently organized and our principal operating subsidiary, founded in April,
2003, has only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our
Company and our prospects can be based. Our prospects for financial success must
be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in highly competitive and evolving markets, such as the
defense-aerospace industry market.
We
have incurred losses and have a working capital deficit and there can be no
assurance that such losses will not continue in the future.
For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we had a net income of $360,774 and for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred a loss of
$1,221,539. As of December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit
of $1,182,804 and accumulated stockholders' deficit of
$1,529,047. Our capital needs have been met by the cash flow from
operations, private placements, salary deferral by Company principals, loans and
by issuing promissory note arrangements. However, there can be no
assurance that such losses will not continue in the future.
We may fail to continue as a going
concern, in which event you may lose your entire investment in our
shares.
We have
historically operated at a loss and may continue to do, however, the recent
receipt of additional orders, our current backlog, and other factors indicate we
will be able to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve
months. Failure to properly execute our current business plan may result
in our inability to continue as a going concern.
We may be unable to manage our growth
or implement our business strategy.
Although
we have experienced significant growth in a relatively short period of time, we
cannot assure you that our growth will continue, nor can we assure you that we
will be able to expand our facilities, our client base and markets or implement
the other features of our business strategy at the rate or to the extent
presently planned. Our rapid growth to date has placed, and in the future will
continue to place, a significant strain on our administrative, operational and
financial resources.
-12-
Our
ability to generate revenue is dependent upon our success in obtaining awards
for a very narrow category of contracts.
Our
ability to generate all of our revenues is dependent upon our success in
obtaining awards for a very narrow category of aerospace and defense contracts.
If we are not successful in receiving contracts from the U.S. government and/or
U.S. defense industry contractors for any reason, including our failure to meet
eligibility requirements, competition, our failure to perform under prior
contracts, and/or changes in government and/or defense industry contracting
policies, we would not generate sufficient revenue to continue in
business.
In
addition to the foregoing, we are subject to the following risks in connection
with government contracts:
·
|
The
frequent need to bid on programs prior to completing the necessary design,
which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and/or cost
overruns;
|
·
|
The
difficulty in forecasting long-term costs and schedules and the potential
obsolescence of products related to long term fixed-price
contracts;
|
·
|
The
risk of fluctuations or a decline in government expenditure due to any
changes in the US Department of Defense budget or appropriation of
funds;
|
·
|
When
we act as a subcontractor, the failure or inability of the primary
contractor to perform its price contract may result in an inability to
obtain payment of fees and contract costs;
|
·
|
Restriction
or potential prohibition on the export of products based on licensing
requirements; and
|
·
|
Government
contract awards can be contested by other contractors.
|
We
are dependent on major customers and any loss of these customers could have a
substantial adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial
condition.
Our
business is also substantially dependent on a relatively small number of
customers and United States Department of Defense programs. In the twelve months
ended December 31, 2008, our five largest customers in terms of sales accounted
for an aggregate of 95% of total sales. During 2007, our five largest customers
in terms of sales accounted for an aggregate of 94% of total sales. The loss of
any of the foregoing businesses as a customer could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
-13-
As of
December 31, 2008, our backlog was approximately $5,693,160 as compared with
backlog of approximately $3,644,905 as of December 31, 2007. Four customers
accounted for approximately 39%, 18%, 12%, and 12% of such backlog as of
December 31, 2008. We presently expect to manufacture and deliver most of the
products in backlog within the next 12 months. The loss or diminution of orders
from any large customer or group of customers could have a substantial adverse
effect on our business and prospects. See "Item 1- Business -
Backlog".
Demand
for our defense-related products depends on government spending and any
re-allocation or reduction in such spending could have a material adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.
The U.S.
military market is largely dependent upon government budgets, particularly the
defense budget. The funding of government programs is subject to Congressional
appropriation. Although multi-year contracts may be authorized in connection
with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year
basis even though a program may be expected to continue for several years.
Consequently, programs are often only partially funded and additional funds are
committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. We cannot assure you
that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would
benefit our business. A decrease in levels of defense spending or the
government's termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of the
contracts for the programs in which we participate could have a material adverse
effect on our financial position and results of operations.
The
risk that governmental purchases of products may decline stems from the nature
of the our business with the U.S. government, in which the U.S.
government may:
·
|
terminate
contracts at its convenience;
|
|
·
|
terminate,
reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if its requirements or
budgetary constraints change;
|
|
·
|
cancel
multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become
unavailable;
|
|
·
|
shift
its spending priorities;
|
|
·
|
adjust
contract costs and fees on the basis of audits done by its agencies;
and
|
|
·
|
inquire
about and investigate business practices and audit compliance with
applicable rules and regulations.
|
Our
failure to obtain and maintain required certifications could impair our ability
to bid on aerospace and defense contracts.
We are
required to maintain quality certification and to meet production standards in
order to be eligible to bid on government contracts. If we fail to maintain
these certifications or any additional certification which may be required, we
will be ineligible to bid for contracts which would impair our ability to
continue in business.
Because
many of our contracts provide for a fixed price, our failure to accurately
estimate costs could result in losses on the contracts.
In
bidding on fixed price contracts, we must accurately estimate the cost of
performance. To the extent that our costs exceed our estimate, we will lose
money on the contracts. Such cost overruns could result from a number of factors
including increases in costs of materials, an underestimation of the amount of
labor required and design or production problems.
-14-
To
the extent that we subcontract work under our contracts, any failures by our
subcontractors could impair our relations with the contracting
agencies.
We
frequently use subcontractors to perform work or provide materials for our
contracts. We are dependent upon the subcontractors to meet the quality and
delivery requirements of the contracting agency. To the extent that the products
or services provided by the subcontractors do not meet the required
specifications or are delivered late, the contract may be terminated by the U.S.
government for default. Such a default could result in our disqualification from
bidding on contracts.
Product
malfunctions or breakdowns could expose us to liability, particularly in
connection with our remanufacturing of obsolete and old support
equipment.
The risk
that our support equipment may malfunction and cause loss of man hours, damage
to, or destruction of, equipment or delays is significant. Consequently, we, as
a manufacturer or remanufacturer of such support equipment, may be subject to
claims if such malfunctions or breakdowns occur. In remanufacturing activities,
we deal with obsolete and old equipment which increases the chance of product
malfunctions or breakdowns. We do not presently maintain product liability
insurance.
If
we are unable to attract and retain qualified engineering personnel, our ability
to continue our business could be impaired.
Our
business is dependent upon our engaging and retaining engineering personnel with
experience in the aerospace and defense industries. To the extent that we are
unable to hire and retain these engineers, our ability to bid on and perform
contracts will be impaired.
We
rely on our senior executive officer, the loss of whom would materially impair
our operations.
We are
dependent upon the continued employment of certain key employees, including our
President and Chief Executive Officer, Zahir Teja because of his experience and
his contacts in this industry. We have entered into an employment agreement
with Mr. Teja; however, the agreement does not assure us that he will continue
to work for us since he may terminate his employment agreement on 90 days'
notice. The loss of Mr. Teja would materially impair our
operations.
Because
of our small size and our relative lack of capital and resources, we may have
difficulty competing for business.
We
compete for contract awards directly with a number of large and small domestic
and foreign defense contractors, including some of the largest national and
international defense companies, as well as a large number of smaller
companies. Many of these competitors have greater financial,
technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we
do. Our relative lack of capital and resources may continue to place
us in a competitive disadvantage. If we are unable to compete
successfully, our business may fail.
A
default under the Kellstrom Settlement Agreement could have an adverse effect on
our business.
As
described in more detail under the heading “Legal Proceedings”, the Company and
Mr. Teja have entered into a settlement agreement with Kellstrom Defense
Aerospace, Inc. As of December 31, 2008 the balance of the trade credits stands
at approximately $384,000. If the Company fails to make the required trade
credits deliveries, Kellstrom may seek to collect the total unpaid balance of
the final judgment, approximately $1,173,913. The Company does not currently
have the financial resources to pay off the total unpaid balance of the final
judgment.
-15-
Risks
Relating To Our Common Stock
Any additional funding we arrange
through the sale of our common stock will result in dilution to existing
stockholders.
We may
raise additional capital in order to effectuate our business plan. Our most
likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional
shares of common stock. Such stock issuances will cause stockholders' interests
in our Company to be diluted and such dilution will negatively affect the value
of an investor's shares.
Because
of our small size, we may be exposed to potential risks resulting from
requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required,
beginning with this fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, to include in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal 2008. Furthermore, we
expect that our independent registered public accounting firm will be required
to attest to whether our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and
separately report on whether it believes we have maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management's time
as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and
remediation required in order to comply with the certification
requirements.
We have
identified certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial
reporting. See Item 9AT – Controls and Procedures. During
the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be
able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to
achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards
are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to
ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal
controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those
related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable
financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. Although
management believes that the material weakness did not have an effect on our
financial reports, if we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent
fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose
confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our
common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
Members
of the Teja family and the Nissenson family make and control corporate decisions
that may be disadvantageous to the minority stockholders.
Mr. Zahir
Teja, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Neev Nissenson,
our Vice President, Secretary, and Director, directly or through their
respective members of their families, own an aggregate of approximately 56% of
the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they have and will have
significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions
or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations
and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and a change in control.
The interests of Mr. Teja and/or Mr. Nissenson may differ from the interests of
the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are
disadvantageous to other stockholders.
Currently,
there is a limited public market for our securities, and there can be no
assurances that any substantial public market will ever develop.
Currently,
our stock is admitted for quotation of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board; however, there is presently no substantial public market for our
common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest
in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active
trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient
execution of buy and sell orders for investors. Even if we are successful in
developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to
enable stockholders to sell their stock. If an active public market for our
common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares
of our common stock that they have purchased, rendering their shares effectively
worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.
-16-
In
addition, our common stock is initially unlikely to be followed by any market
analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for the
common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and
trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed
and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which
it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will
be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors,
including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock,
developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors
referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of our company,
and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an
orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common
stock.
Because
many of our shares are eligible for future sale, the selling of a substantial
amount might adversely affect the market price of the shares
Sales of
a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market could
adversely affect the market price of such shares. As of December 31, 2008 we had
8,046,718 shares of common stock outstanding, of which the 3,768,750 shares of
common stock free trading without restriction pursuant to registration statement
that was declared effective in August, 2007. All of the remaining 4,277,968
shares of common stock outstanding are "restricted securities," as that term is
defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and in the future
may only be sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act,
in compliance with the exemption provisions of Rule 144 (including, without
limitation, certain volume limitations and holding period requirements thereof)
or pursuant to another exemption under the Securities Act. Our CEO, Zahir Teja,
and his family and affiliates own an aggregate of approximately 2,896,000
shares. Our Vice President, Neev Nissenson, and his affiliates own approximately
1,631,000 shares.
Because we may be subject to “Penny
Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be
reduced.
Broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by
penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on some national securities exchanges). The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level
of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the
customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and,
if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose
this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly
account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the
customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to
persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction.
Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of
trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the
penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to
sell their shares.
Our
stock price may be volatile because of factors beyond our control. As a result,
the value of your shares may decrease significantly.
The
market price of our securities may fluctuate significantly in response to a
number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not
limited to, the following:
·
|
our
ability to obtain securities analyst coverage;
|
|
·
|
changes
in securities analysts' recommendations or estimates of our financial
performance;
|
|
·
|
changes
in market valuations of companies similar to us; and announcements by us
or our competitors of significant contracts, new offerings, acquisitions,
commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
and
|
|
·
|
the
failure to meet analysts' expectations regarding financial
performances.
|
Furthermore,
in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of
their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. A
securities class action lawsuit against us, regardless of its merit, could
result in substantial costs and divert the attention of our management from
other business concerns, which in turn could harm our business.
The
provisions of our charter documents and Nevada law may inhibit potential
acquisition bids that a stockholder may believe are desirable, and the market
price of our common stock may be lower as a result.
Our
articles of incorporation provide us with the ability to issue "blank check"
preferred stock enabling our Board of Directors to fix the price, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions of preferred stock without any further
action or vote by our stockholders. The issuance of preferred stock may delay or
prevent a change in control transaction. As a result, the market price of our
common stock and the voting and other rights of our stockholders may be
adversely affected. The issuance of preferred stock may result in the loss of
voting control to other stockholders.
-17-
The
Nevada Business Corporation Law contains a provision governing “Acquisition of
Controlling Interest.” This law provides generally that any person or entity
that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held
Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied
voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the
disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting
rights in whole or in part. The provisions of the control share acquisition act
may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant
interest in or control of the Company, regardless of whether such acquisition
may be in the interest of our stockholders.

2. PROPERTIES
On August
17, 2007, we entered into a commercial lease agreement (the “Lease”) with Carry
Way LLC. Under the Lease, we leased the approximately 7,500 square
feet of a building, housing our former corporate headquarters and
manufacturing plant, located at 42 Carry Way, Carson City, NV 89706, for an
initial period of 12 months, commencing September 10, 2007 and ending September
30, 2008. We extended this term on September 30, 2008, for an
additional 12 month period which will end on September 30, 2009. The base
monthly rent is $3,000, and the security deposit is $2,100. Mr. Zahir
Teja, president of the Company, guaranteed our performance under the Lease. In
accordance with extension option exercised September 30, 2008 the monthly rent
increased to $3,150.
On
January 29, 2009, we leased a new production facility located at 61B Industrial
PKWY, Carson City, NV 89706, under a lease commencing March 1, 2009 through
February 28, 2011, at a monthly rent of $4,120. Minimum payments on this lease
for the next 12 months will be $41,200. Our principal executive
offices were moved to this location effective as of March 19, 2009.
Management
believes that these facilities will meet our operational needs for the
foreseeable future.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The
Company and Mr. Teja have entered into a settlement agreement with Kellstrom
Defense Aerospace, Inc. This settlement agreement compromises a final judgment
in the amount of $1,173,913 entered in connection with an action brought by
Kellstrom against the Company in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida. Under this agreement, the Company has paid
Kellstom $150,000 in cash. The Company has also issued Kellstrom a $500,000
purchase credit to be applied towards the purchase of materials and services
from the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the remaining balance of the trade
credits is approximately $384,000.
The
Company knows of no other material litigation or proceeding, pending or
threatened, to which it is or may become a party.

Dividends
There are
no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or by-laws that prevent us from
declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from
declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the
dividend:
·
|
we
would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course
of business; or
|
|
·
|
our
total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the
amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the
distribution.
|
We have
not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any
earnings for use in our business, and therefore do not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
Between June
and August 2008, we entered into promissory note arrangements with an
aggregate of five Israeli investors and two Israeli corporations, pursuant to
which we issued promissory notes for an aggregate of $236,536 in principal
amount received. The notes mature between June 21, 2009 and
August 19, 2009 and bear 15% interest per annum. Interest accrues on
a monthly basis and is payable quarterly in an amount equal to the interest
accrued on the balance of the Note. The interest payments commence on the third
month following the issuance date for such note and shall continue every three
months until the applicable maturity date.
There
will be no penalties for early repayment of the notes.
In
connection with the issuance of the promissory notes, we issued to the investors
an aggregate of 13,575 shares of common stock, as well as warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 33,950 shares at prices ranging from $2.40 to $2.60 per share
for a period of 2 years.
Notes for
the aggregate principal amount of $99,465 were collateralized by shares of our
common stock put forward by one of our shareholders. One note in the
aggregate principal amount of $20,115 was collateralized by shares put
forward by our CEO, Zahir Teja. The remaining notes were not
collateralized.
The
offering of the promissory notes, the shares of common stock and the warrants

7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
information set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operations ("MD&A") may contains certain "forward-looking statements"
including, among others (i) expected changes in the Company's revenues and
profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) the Company's
strategy for financing its business. Forward-looking statements are statements
other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some
forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of
forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plan”
“expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “continues,” or
“potential,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements relate to the plans,
objectives and expectations of the Company for future operations. Although the
Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its
knowledge of its business and operations, in light of the risks and
uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of
forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should not be
regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the
objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data
appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K..
The
Company's revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors,
including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural
disaster, the inability of the Company to insure against certain risks,
inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates,
changing government regulations domestically and internationally affecting our
products and businesses.
Overview
Phoenix
International Ventures, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “PIV” or the “Company”) was
incorporated on August 7, 2006. The financial statements are consolidated with
those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. (“PAI”) and
Phoenix Europe Ventures Ltd. (“PEV”)
PAI
was incorporated on April 18, 2003. The Company, Zahir Teja, and Phoenix
Aerospace, Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated as of December 1,
2006. As a result of this transaction, PAI became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. The effective date of this transaction was January 1, 2007. The
foregoing transaction has been treated for accounting purposes as a “reverse
merger.”
The
principal business reason for the share exchange was to establish a holding
company structure. This structure, we believe, facilitates future
acquisitions and the opening up of new lines of business. Of course,
there can be no assurance that we will make any such acquisitions or open up any
such new lines of business.
PAI
manufactures support equipment for military aircraft which are used for
maintaining, operating or testing aircraft sub-systems. It manufactures some of
the existing support equipment which is in need of overhaul or facing
maintainability and components obsolescence issues and it also manufactures new
support equipment.
PAI is
ISO 9001/2000 certified. We recently renewed the process and extended the ISO
9001/2000 certificate until April 26, 2010. PAI has a licensing agreement with
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company to re-manufacture several types of Support
Equipment for P-3 Orion surveillance aircraft. PAI has a marketing, sales and
manufacturing agreement with Honeywell Aerospace GmbH for Air Start Cart,
RST-184 which is used on various aircraft.
The main
users of the equipment are the United States Air Force, US Navy and
defense-aerospace companies.

Revenues. Revenues
increased 130% to $2,180,804 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008,
compared to $948,775 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The increase
in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in sales order and
deliveries. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, remanufacturing
contracts accounted for 9% of our revenues, manufacturing and parts trading were
64%, and study contracts were 27% of product sales. This compares to
manufacturing and remanufacturing accounted for 10% of our revenues, study
contracts 36% and product sales 54% for the twelve months ended December
31, 2007.
US Navy
and Air Force represented 43% of the Company’s revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The remaining 57% of sales was to aerospace
companies and military contractors. Two customers represented 61% of the
Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Cost of Sales. Cost of
revenues consists primarily of sub contractors and raw materials used in the
manufacturing process, along with labor and other related charges. Cost of sales
increased to $1,334,162 for the twelve months ended December 31,
2008, compared to $792,264 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007,
representing 61% and 84% of the total revenues for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 respectively. The decrease in costs of
sales as percentage of total sales is primarily attributable to the increase in
high margin orders being delivered.
General and Administrative
Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased by 28% from
$1,347,730 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 to $989,030 for the
twelve months ended December 31 2008. The decrease in general and
administrative costs is primarily attributable to an approximate $460,000 option
expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 which did not re-occur
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. As a percentage of revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 45% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008, as compared to 142% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2007.
-23-
Interest Expense. Interest
expense increased to $62,992 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, as
compared to $30,320 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The increase
in interest expense is primarily attributed to expenses associated with the
promissory note arrangement the company entered into in the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008.
Income before Taxes. Net
income before taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 amounted to
$360,774, as compared to a net loss of $1,221,539 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007. The increase in income is primarily attributed
with additional revenues from manufacturing contracts as well as a recovery of
contingency in the amount of $566,154 the twelve months ended December 31,
2008.
Taxes on Income The Company
had no tax liabilities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 or
2008.
Net Income Net
income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 amounted to
$360,774. as compared to a net loss of $1,221,539 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in income is primarily attributed
with additional revenues from manufacturing contracts as well as a recovery of
contingency in the amount of $566,154 the twelve months ended December 31,
2008.
Earnings (Loss) Per
Share. The earnings per share for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2008 was 0.046 basic and 0.036 for fully diluted shares. The
loss per share of common stock for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was
(0.170) (basic and diluted shares).
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash as of December 31, 2008, amounted to $225,767 as
compared with $70,314 as of December 31, 2007, an increase of $155,453.
Net cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31,
2008, was $67,842. Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2008 was $232,254.
Our
capital investments are primarily for the purchase of equipment for services
that we provide or intend to provide. This equipment includes truck, shop tools,
and shop machinery. There is no need for material capital investments in order
to execute the current backlog. Although this may change, we currently do not
expect to obtain any material capital investments in the next twelve
months.
The
Company leases its 7,500 square foot operating facility under a lease expiring
September 30, 2009. The lease contains one-year renewal options. Minimum lease
payments through September 30, 2009 are $28,350.
On
January 29, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement to lease a new production
facility starting from March 1, 2009 until February 28, 2011 at a monthly rent
of $4,120. Minimum payments on this lease for the next 12 months will be
$41,200.
We
borrowed $236,536 as part of a promissory note arrangement. These
notes are to mature at intervals between June 21, 2009 and August 19, 2009. We
expect to repay these obligations primarily from cash generated by our operating
activities.
We shall
continue to finance our operations mainly from the cash provided from operating
activities. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a backlog of approximately
$5,693,160. One of the orders is for the design and manufacturing of new
aircraft engine trailers for the approximate amount of $2,227,386 this order
contains a progress billing arrangement in it. In addition, two of the orders
are from two customers for the approximate amount of $833,762 these orders are
for time, material and an agreed profit. We collect a significant amount of
these revenues on a monthly basis and progress towards milestone billing. For
these types of orders, which make up most of our backlog, there is no need for
us to finance materials and labor. Additionally, management is expecting,
although there can be no assurance, that additional orders will come in. Since
December 31, 2008 we have announced an additional $629,000 of new orders. These
orders are expected to be delivered in 2009. A consultant has exercised an
option to purchase 274,000 shares in redemption of $137,000. In the
past twelve months, we experienced a significant improvement in our financial
situation. This improvement is mainly attributable to a $566,154 recovery of a
contingency. Senior management is also willing to defer salary payments if
necessary. As a result, we believe we will have enough funds from our operations
to support our operations for fiscal 2009.

We may
consider raising additional capital through private and/or public placements to
fund possible acquisitions and other business development activities and for
working capital.
Recent
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Please
refer to note 1 of the financial statements.
Critical
accounting policies:
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are
based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Since these estimates are inherently
uncertain, actual results may materially differ.
The
following is a discussion of our accounting policies that are both most
important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and that
require managements most difficult, subjective, or complex
judgments.
Stock
Based Compensation.
We
account for stock option grants in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. We
record the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually
the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments
for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair
value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In the event that the Company does not have
sufficient trading history to estimate its volatility the company uses a
surrogate in order to calculate implied volatility. In the event that there is
insufficient history regarding exercise practice of the employees the Company
applies the “plain vanilla” expected term as allowed by SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107. If an equity award is modified after the grant
date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair value of the modified award, if any, over the fair value of
the original award.
Revenue
Recognition
We
account for sales derived from long-term study and production contracts in
conformity with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Statement of Position No. 81-1 (SOP 81-1), Accounting for the Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts. Accounting for these contracts involves management
judgment in estimating total contract revenue and cost. Significant factors
that influence these estimates include internal
and external engineering performance and business volume assumptions. Revenue
and cost estimates are regularly monitored and revised based on changes in
circumstances. Anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recognized when
such losses become evident.
Sales are
subject to a limited warranty that provides for repair or replacement of
defective parts. In accordance with SFAS 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of
Return Exists management has evaluated the Company’s experience with
sales returns. Historically, the Company has not experienced
any costs for warranty claims. As such, the warranty reserve was zero
at the end of 2008 and 2007.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Our provision for income taxes is based on current statutory income tax rates.
Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions as well as
deferred tax asset and liability balances, including the estimation of valuation
allowances and the evaluation of tax positions.

DATA
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Phoenix International Ventures, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Phoenix International
Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Phoenix International Ventures, Inc.’s
management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix
International Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
December

Note
1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of
Activities
Phoenix
International Ventures, Inc. (PIV) was organized August 7, 2006 as a Nevada
Corporation to develop business in the market of defense and
aerospace. Our primary business is manufacturing, re-manufacturing
and upgrading of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) used in military and commercial
aircraft.
Basis of
Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned US subsidiary Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. (PAI) and an Israeli
subsidiary, Phoenix Europe Ventures, Ltd. (PEV). Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US
GAAP).
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, as well as all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity from the date of purchase
of three months or less to be cash and cash
equivalents.
From time
to time the Company maintains amounts on deposit with financial institutions
which exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
significant losses in such accounts, nor does management believe it is exposed
to any significant credit risk.
Segments
The
Company is active only in the segment of manufacturing, re-manufacturing and
upgrading of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) used in military and commercial
aircraft.
-33-
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable include amounts billed and billable from
customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value
consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts
if applicable. This amount is included in the general and administrative
expenses. During 2008,
the Company sold trade receivables for an aggregate loss of $32,047. This amount
is included in the general and administrative expenses.
The
Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts
receivable balances. Under the allowance method, an estimate of uncollectible
customer balances is made using factors such as the credit quality of the
customer and the economic conditions in the market. Accounts are considered past
due once the unpaid balance is 90 days or more outstanding, unless payment terms
are extended. When an account balance is past due and attempts have been made to
collect the receivable through legal or other means, the amount is considered
uncollectible and is written off against the allowance balance.
As of
December 31, 2008, management believes that all accounts receivable are
collectible, and thus the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts was
zero. There was no bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 or
2007.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market, based on the specific identification
method of inventory valuation. The Company periodically reviews inventory for
obsolescence based on an assessment as to continued use of such equipment by the
Company’s customers and potential customers.
Property, Plant and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Acquisitions of
property and equipment in excess of $500 are capitalized. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.
Maintenance, repairs and renewals that do not materially prolong the useful life
of an asset are expensed when incurred.
The
estimated useful lives are as follows:
Equipment
|
5-7
years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
7
years
|
Computer
software
|
3-5
years
|
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect temporary
differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible
amounts in future years. The tax rate used to determine the deferred tax assets
and liabilities is the enacted tax rate for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred
tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be
realized.
-34-
On
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) to account for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”
Concentrations
US Navy
and Air Force represented 43% of the Company’s revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2008. The remaining 57% of sales was to aerospace
companies and military contractors. Two customers represented 69% of the
Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Financial
Instruments
Financial
instruments, including cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
receivable and accounts payable are carried in the consolidated financial
statements at amounts that approximate fair value at December 31, 2008 and
2007. Fair values are based on market prices and assumptions concerning the
amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates,
reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. In April 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). 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. We did not elect the fair value
option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.
Stock
Based Compensation.
The
Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment. The Company records the cost of employee and non-employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period
during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation
cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the
requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and
similar instruments is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
Company does not have sufficient trading history to estimate its volatility so
the company uses a surrogate in order to calculate implied volatility. In the
event that there is insufficient history regarding exercise practice of the
employees the Company applies the “plain vanilla” expected term as allowed by
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. If an equity award is modified after
the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount
equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award, if any, over the
fair value of the original award.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company accounts for sales derived from long-term study and production contracts
in conformity with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) Statement of Position No. 81-1 (SOP 81-1), Accounting for the Performance of
Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type
Contracts. Sales are recognized using various measures
of progress, as allowed by SOP 81-1, depending on the contractual terms and
scope of work of the contract.
Revenue
that is not derived from long-term contracts is recognized when persuasive
evidence of a final agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price
is fixed or determinable and payment from the customer is reasonably
assured. The majority of customer sales terms are F.O.B. origin,
where revenue is recognized upon shipment.
-35-
Sales are
subject to a limited warranty that provides for repair or replacement of
defective parts. In accordance with SFAS 48, Revenue Recognition When Right of
Return Exists management has evaluated the Company’s experience with
sales returns. Historically, the Company has not experienced
any costs for warranty claims. As such, the warranty reserve was zero
at the end of 2007.
Earnings (loss) per Common
Share
The
Company calculates its basic earnings (loss) per share based on the
weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding. Net
earnings (loss) is divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding
during the period to arrive at the basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the
sum of the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings
(loss) per share calculation and the weighted average number of common shares
that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive
securities, excluding those securities that would be anti-dilutive to the
earnings (loss) per share calculation. Both basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share amounts are calculated for earnings (loss) from continuing operations
and net earnings (loss) for all periods presented.
Recent Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In
June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an
Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF
07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to
evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is
indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent
exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign
currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option
valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact
of EITF 07-5 on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
In
September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, “Issuer’s Accounting for
Liabilities Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement” (EITF
08-5). EITF 08-5 provides guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an
attached third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee). It clarifies that
the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement (such as a
guarantee) should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair
value measurement of the liability. EITF 08-5 is effective for the first
reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of EITF 08-5 on its consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
.
In
January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (FSP 99-20-1). FSP 99-20-1 amends the
impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and
Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That
Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve
more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has
occurred. FSP 99-20-1 is effective, on a prospective basis, for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 99-20-1 on its consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
Note
2 - Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Going Concern
At
December 31, 2008, we assessed our ability to continue as a going concern. The
Company has a working capital deficit of $1,118,804 and accumulated deficit of
$2,925,964. However, factors that support our viability include the procurement
of new contracts and sales orders, as well as consistent revenue growth.
To date, the Company has been dependent upon officer advances to finance
operations. The Company has developed a plan to address its financial situation.
The plan is based on the Company’s current financial assets, backlog and
expectations regarding revenues and operating costs. The Company believes it can
meet the financial requirements of the current plan for year end 2009 without
raising additional funds.
-36-
The
ability of the Company to achieve its goals is dependent upon future capital
raising efforts, obtaining and maintaining favorable contracts, and the ability
to achieve future operating efficiencies anticipated with increased production
levels. There can be no assurance that the Company’s future efforts and
anticipated operating improvements will be successful.

7 - Notes Payable
The
Company has a revolving line of credit from a financial institution totaling
$35,000. At December 31, 2008 the line of credit was fully extended
and the Company is required to make monthly payments of interest at 6.5% above
Prime Rate. On October 18, 2009, the outstanding balance on the line
of credit converts to an installment note payable of equal installments of
interest and principal until September 30, 2013.
The
Company has a revolving line of credit from a foreign financial institution
totaling 14,210. At December 31, 2008, $13,340 of the line
of credit was extended to the Company. The line of credit bears a monthly
interest ranging from 10%-13% based upon the amount extended.
In June,
July, August and September 2008, the Company entered into promissory note
agreements with five Israeli investors and two Israeli corporations for the
aggregate amount of $236,536. Some of these notes were in New Israeli Shekels
and some in U.S. Dollars. These notes are to be paid in full at various
dates between June 22 and August 18, 2009 and bear 15% interest per annum. In
addition, these notes were discounted by shares and warrants. In total the
Company issued an aggregate of 13,575 shares, and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 33,950 shares at a price per shares that
varies between $2.40 and $2.60 per share for 2 years. Some of these notes have

8 - Related Party Transactions
As of
December 31, 2008 the Company owed an officer for his advances the total balance
of $408,836 of which $39,461 is current. These advances are non-interest bearing
and the officer has agreed not to demand payment of the long term portion during
2009. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid the officer
$9,149 towards the debt.
On April
26, 2007, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a related party
to assist the Company with its business development. Consulting fees
under the agreement require a minimum annual payment of $120,000. At September
30, 2008, the Consultant exercised an option to purchase 274,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock for $137,000 for previously accrued fees. At December 31,
2008 the Company has accrued $30,311 due to the related party. For the year
ended December 31, 2008 the Company recognized $120,177 related to this
agreement that has been included in general and administrative
expense.
Note
9- Share Capital
In
June, July, August and September 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 13,575
shares as part of a note agreement.
In
October 2008 the Company issued to its legal counsel 9,000 shares in
redemption of $20,000 accrued expense.
In
September 2008 and October 2008, the Company issued a total of 4,000 shares of
common stock at $1.00 per share for warrant
exercises.
In
September 2008, the Company issued 274,000 shares of common stock $0.50 per
share for option exercises. In exchange for the shares, $137,000 of accrued
liabilities were extinguished.
-39-
Note
10 Stock Based Compensation and Warrants
The
Company does not have a formally approved stock based compensation plan.
The Company’s Board periodically compensates officers, employees, and certain
service providers with stock options. These option issuances are not
required to be approved by shareholders. The Company did not issue any
stock option during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.
The grant
date fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black- Scholes
model. The exercise price of option grants approximates the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.
Since the
Company does not have a trading history equal to the expected term of option
grants, the estimated volatility was based on the volatility of several
companies which are from similar industry and share certain characteristics. For
awards granted in 2007 the estimated volatility was 107%.
The
Company estimated the expected term of option awards using the simplified method
for “plain vanilla” issuances to employees while the expected term for
non-employees approximates the contractual term. The expected term under
the simplified method is the average of the contractual term and vesting
period. For awards issued in 2007 the expected term for employees and
non-employees was 1.8 and 3.6 years, respectively.
The
Company has not paid dividends nor do we expect to pay dividends in the
foreseeable future. The risk free interest rate used to estimate the fair
value of the 2007 option issuances was 4.5%.

Warrants
In June,
July, August and September 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 33,950
warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices per share ranging from
$2.40 to $2.60 per share for a period of 2 years, as part of a note
agreement.
The
Company estimated the fair value of the warrants issued during the year
ended December 31, 2008 using a Black- Scholes model. The Company used an
estimated volatility of 107%. The Company does not have a sufficient
history of warrant exercises, therefore, the expected term is the contractual
term, 1 year. Risk free interest rate was determined to be 4.5%, and
no dividends are expected to be paid over the term of the
warrants.

As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $2,100,000 and $1,600,000, respectively. These
operating losses will be available to reduce future taxable income and begin to
expire in 2023. In addition, the Company also has temporary timing differences
between its book income and tax income that will generate future tax benefits.

The
Company has considered the implication of FIN 48 Uncertain Tax Positions and
believes that all of its positions taken in tax filings will more
likely than not to be sustained on examination by tax authorities. Interest
expense and penalties related to the Company’s uncertain tax positions have been
reflected as a component of general and administrative expense in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2008, the Company
had no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is
open to audit for 2005 (subsidiary only), 2006 and 2007.
Note
12 – Commitments and Contingencies
The
Company leases a 7,500 square foot operating facility under a non cancelable
lease expiring September 30, 2009. Minimum lease payments through September 30,
2009 are $28,350. Lease expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
totaled $36,450 and $65,155 respectively.
On May
26, 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby it agreed to
issue purchase credits in the amount of $500,000 and make cash payments of
$150,000. In addition, the Company agreed to pay an additional sum of $566,154,
in the event that (a) the Company defaulted on purchase credits or (b) if the
Company is awarded a one-time specific contract from a specific customer before
May 26, 2008. This one-time specific contract was not received. If the Company
does not default on the remaining purchase credits, no further obligation will
be due. Therefore, the contingent sum of $566,154 that was previously
expensed has been recovered. At December 31, 2008, the remaining balance of the
legal settlement was $384,000 in trade credits.
Note
13 - Subsequent Events
On
January 22, 2009, the Board of Directors decided not to extend the employment
agreement with Teja Shariff as CFO following its expiration on April 26, 2009.
The Company anticipates that following the expiration of the agreement, Neev
Nissenson will take the place as CFO, in addition to his role as Vice President.
The Board intends to retain Mr. Shariff as a consultant to the
Company.
On
January 29, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement to lease a new production
facility starting from March 1, 2009 until February 28, 2011 at a monthly rent
of $4,120.

9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On
December 10, 2007, Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”)
terminated Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP (“SWS”) as its independent
public accountant. Such termination was recommended and approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company.
The
report issued by SWS on the financial statements of the Company for the past
year contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. However, such report contained an explanatory paragraph
expressing substantial doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
Prior to
and up to the time of termination, the Company had no disagreements with SWS
with regard to any matter of accounting principles or practice, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
On
December 10, 2007, the Company engaged the services of Mark Bailey & Co.
Ltd. (“MB”) as its new independent public accountant. Up to the date
of this filing, the Company has not consulted with MB regarding (i) the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated
transaction, (ii) or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Company’s financial statements.
ITEM
9A[T]. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Management’s
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the
end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for
timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required
to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls
and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving these
objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
not effective to a reasonable assurance level of achieving such
objectives.
(b) Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial
reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by
the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
includes those policies and procedures that:
-
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
|
-44-
-
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
and
|
-
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective
can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of
internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the
financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into
the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of
December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control
over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on
that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report,
such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the
inappropriate application of US GAAP. This was due to deficiencies
that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial
reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be
considered to be material weaknesses.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management
considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent
with control objectives; and (2) ineffective controls over period end financial
disclosure and reporting processes.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did
not have an effect on our financial results.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management's report in this
annual report.
Management’s
Remediation Initiatives
In an
effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies
and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the
following series of measures:
We intend
to create additional positions to segregate duties consistent with control
objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting
expertise within the accounting function as resources permit. In addition, we
will review our current procedures and update them in order to better address
the material weaknesses.
We
anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully,
implemented by December 31, 2009. Additionally, we plan to test our
updated controls in order to remediate our deficiencies by December 31,
2009.
(c) Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Aside
from adding additional procedures there were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting during our twelve months ended December 31, 2008 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
