PART I

ITEM 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

The Company was formed to invest and develop business in the fields of aerospace and defense. We, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. (ISO-Certified), design, 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 the F-16 fighter, which are in current production; and 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 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, addressing component obsolescence issues, 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 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.
 
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.

Independent to the US Defense Department Budget, much of the Legacy Support Equipment in service today are facing obsolescence and maintainability issues which may require some equipment to be replaced with new equipment or be remanufactured. The US Armed Forces maintains a significant inventory of Ground Support Equipment that has been deployed in a harsh environment. When this equipment returns to the US, it will require major overhaul and maintenance. The Company has positioned itself to be at the forefront within this sector with its technical skills and license agreements to generate future revenues even though there should be no assurance.

The U.S. Government and U.S. Defense Contractors Contracting Process

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 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.

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.
 
 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.
 
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 currently do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts. 

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 which to date has not been a material part of our 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 competency, service, performance, reliability, price and deliveries. We believe that we have well positioned ourselves to remain competitive in our target markets as demonstrated by the following examples:

 
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company - licensee;
 
       
 
DRS Environmental Systems, Inc. – licensee; 
 
       
 
Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training and Support - approved vendor;
 
 
 
Lockheed Martin Air Logistics Center - approved vendor;
     
 
U.S. Navy Prime Contractor;
     
 
U.S. Navy Designated Depot Repair Center for Certain Support Equipment;
     
 
U.S. Air Force Prime Contractor;
 
 
U.S. Army Prime Contractor
     
 
Honeywell Aerospace GmbH approved vendor;
 
 
Northrop Grumman approved vendor;
 
 
Boeing approved vendor
 
 
ISO 9001/2008 Certified; and
     
 
Experienced with the U.S. government contracting process.
  
Research and Development Activities
 
We do not devote a material amount of time to separate research and development activities.
 
Employees

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we had eight (8) full time employees, including two officers, we also had one (1)  part time employee. As of the date of this report we have five (5) employees. 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.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should only be considered by investors who can afford a total loss of their investment in our shares. 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

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements

As a result of our loss from operations and working capital deficit as at December 31, 2010, our independent accountants have expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion and audit of our financial statements as at December 31, 2010 and for the fiscal year then ended.

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 so. Failure to properly execute our current business plan may result in our inability to continue as a going concern. We require raising additional capital in order to sustain our ongoing operations.

We have historically incurred losses, have a working capital deficit, have significant accounts payable and until recently have been unable to pay our obligations. A substantial portion of our obligations are owed to key vendors which are critical to the operations in our business.  If we are unable to work out terms or pay in full within the near future it may have a material effect upon our ability to continue operations. We have minimal current assets to meet our outstanding obligations at December 31, 2010 and as of the date of this report. Although we obtained additional equity financing in early 2011 and used a portion of the proceeds to pay certain the above obligations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pay ongoing obligations in the ordinary course of business as they occur in the future.
 
We could be liable to refund certain payments under our government contracts.
 
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, and require us to refund any overstated charges.
 
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.
 
 
 
-6-

 
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.

We generate 89% of our total sales from five major customers. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

The termination of our ongoing government contracts or our inability to enter into additional government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would benefit our business. 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.

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.
 
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 are seeking to raise additional capital through the sale of additional shares of common stock in order to meet our working capital needs and effectuate our business plan. Such stock issuances will cause stockholders' interests in our Company to be diluted and such dilution will negatively affect the value of the shares owned by our existing stockholders.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our Board of Directors make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to the minority stockholders.

Mr. Zahir Teja, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and other members of our board of directors, directly or through their respective members of their families, control a majority 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 our other directors 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 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.

In addition, our common stock is not followed by any market analysts, and there are not 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 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.
 
ITEM 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

Effective as of March 1, 2009, we lease a production facility located at 61B Industrial Parkway, Carson City, NV 89706, under a lease that expired on February 28, 2011, at a monthly rent of $5,430. Minimum payments on this lease for the next 12 months will be $65,160.

Management believes that these facilities will meet our operational needs for the near future.

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.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

Equity Compensation Plan Information as of December 31, 2010

ITEM 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”)

The Company manufactures and remanufactures aircraft ground support equipment. This equipment is needed to operate and maintain military aircraft.  We provide this ground support equipment in the following ways:

·  
Studies for Life Extension of Aging Equipment - Analyze obsolescence, supportability, maintainability, and recommend future design for replacement.
·  
Manufacture – Design, engineer, and produce per customer specifications.
·  
Manufacture New – Legacy equipment under license of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
·  
Remanufacture – Aged equipment to virtually condition and warranty them as new.
·  
Parts Trading - Supply other support parts for various equipment on a retail basis.

The different types of contracts detailed below:
 

·  
Long term manufacturing and design contract – generally, contracts which have expected durations of more than twelve months.
·  
Short term manufacturing contracts and orders – generally, orders for a specific unit which require less than twelve months of work to complete.
·  
Remanufacturing orders and contracts – generally, orders for a specific unit and requires less than twelve months of work to complete.
·  
Parts trading – generally, these orders are for parts that are not manufactured by the Company; and the Company buys and sells these parts with limited added value.
·  
Study contracts – generally, these contracts are for general services related to the conducting of feasibility and proof of concept studies on items requested by the customer.
 
We have historically had success with forming partnerships with large, well-known OEM’s in the defense industry in order to develop our manufacturing and remanufacturing niche.  Based on these historic successes we recently entered into a licensing agreement with DRS Environmental Systems, Inc. (a subsidiary of DRS Technologies, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica S.p.A).  Management believes this agreement provides us with proprietary technical data to manufacture. With this data it is very likely we can get contracts on a sole-source basis to manufacture and remanufacture equipment which we have already been providing and other products we have not yet had the opportunity to provide.  We also believe this agreement could lead to higher volume contracts in the areas of our expertise.  As of the date of this report, we have not executed any definitive contracts under this agreement nor is there any assurance that we will in the near-term.
 
Results of the Operations - Fiscal Summary

Results of Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company was in a very precarious financial position primarily related to the lack of success in obtaining the working capital necessary to pay our obligations timely which, correspondingly, prevented us from fulfilling our open customer orders; producing from our backlog; and generating sufficient operational cash flows.  The following is a detailed discussion of our results for the periods presented in this report:

Revenue

The 51% decline in revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009 was the result of our inability to obtain parts and services from outside vendors necessary to complete and ship our products beginning in mid-2010.

Additionally, in early 2010, our production staff, along with our officers, performed a detailed cost analysis of the USAF trailer program (revenue for this program is recognized using the percentage of completion method) that began in late 2008.  This analysis resulted in a significant increase in our estimated costs to complete the first phase of the program.  Correspondingly, we reduced the revenue recognized through December 31, 2010 related to the project by approximately $350,000 and recognized a loss of approximately $60,000.  Additionally, the adjustments in our cost estimates resulted in us not recognizing revenue in 2010 related to the project while the 2009 recognized revenue was approximately 41% of the total for that period. Our currently revised estimates indicate additional costs to complete the first phase of this program are approximately $1,260,000 of which approximately $1,200,000 is expected to be billed to the Air Force in late 2011 into 2012.

Our revenues from our other manufacturing, re-manufacturing, and parts-trading were relatively flat in 2010.  While study contracts accounted for approximately 12% of our 2010 revenue (13% of the total in 2009), actual revenue recognized on these contracts decreased approximately 33% from 2009.  The decrease in study contract revenue was a result of the completion of studies that began in 2009, were completed in 2010, and no new studies were started during 2010.

If we are successful in obtaining the necessary additional capital we expect increases in our revenue in the second half of 2011 and into 2012.  These increases are expected to be substantially generated from the completion of the first phase of the USAF trailer program; the next phase of the trailer program in which we believe we will be able to achieve at a lower cost than that of the first; and expected orders obtained from our DRS licensing agreement as discussed above; however, there are no assurances that these expectations will be realized.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased in 2010 (approximately $2,160,000 in 2010 and $2,691,000 in 2009) despite the decline in our revenues due to additional costs incurred on the trailer program as discussed above while not recognizing any corresponding revenue from the project.  Additional increases in the cost of sales in 2010 were due to increases in our raw materials resulting from our inability to pay our vendors timely which further prevented us from taking advantage of volume discounts and being subject to price increases in commodities used in these materials. Based on our previous experience we expect margins to increase, but there can be no assurance given that will actually occur.
 
General and Administrative Expenses

Our 2010 general and administrative expenses generally remained the same in 2010 from 2009.  In 2010 our general and administrative expenses were approximately 57% of our total revenue compared to 31% in 2009.

In 2010 salaries accounted for approximately 28% of our general and administrative expenses which represented a slight decline from the comparable period in 2009 due to a reduction in our administrative staff in 2010.

Legal, accounting, and consulting fees, which accounted for approximately 33% of the total general and administrative expenses in 2010, increased from the 2009 period due to increases in the costs of our annual audit; reviews of our interim financial statements; and increases in our business and marketing consulting services.

Our other general and administrative expenses which primarily consist of utilities, travel to support our marketing and capital raising efforts, and rent, remained relative flat for the periods presented.
 
In 2010 we also incurred a one-time charge related to the write-off obsolete inventory of approximately $114,000 that was classified as non-current inventory in 2009.
 
In early 2011 we were able reduce some of our general and administrative expenses through salary reductions with our officers, reductions in our overall workforce, and the elimination of consulting agreements.  We expect to maintain these reduced expense levels until such time we are able obtain additional financing and increase our manufacturing as discussed above.

Other Expenses

In 2010 we experienced a slight increase in our other expenses primarily related to interest expense for our outstanding debt and debt extension incentives.  We expect this to increase in 2011 through which time we are successful at either paying off the debt with cash or converting to shares of our common stock as many of these debts are in default and provide our creditors with penalty provisions as discussed in our notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Liquidity

We have produced poor financial results in 2010 from our operations even though we maintained a reasonable amount of backlog largely because of our inability to pay current obligations. The lack of working capital prohibited us from being able to execute a necessary amount of contract work during 2010 to meet these obligations timely.

In March, 2011, we successfully converted $300,000 of the aggregate principal amount of certain obligations into common shares of the Company at $ 0.15 per share which was at a premium to the market price of our common shares at the time of conversion.  At the same time, our Board of Directors approved the raising of up to $1,000,000 in equity through private placement offerings of our common shares of stock at $0.15 a share. To date, we have raised $315,000 through the private placement offering; however, there is no assurance we will achieve continued success.

 In April 2011, our Board of Directors, as an additional cost saving objective, approved the elimination of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phoenix Europe Ventures, Inc. which was based in Israel.

We have diverse customer payment arrangements in some of our contracts. Some payments are contingent upon delivery and have a net 30 payment schedule, while some customers make advances or allow milestone billing which allows financing of the production process; this is typical in all of our revenue streams.  Still, there are large outlays for materials and engineering that on occasion have caused delays in payments to our suppliers. Due to our large working capital deficit we have fallen behind in paying our suppliers, however, we have reached an understanding with some of our key suppliers to whom we owe money, whereby they will continue to supply us with products and services as long as we continue to make progress paying down existing past invoices. For new orders going forward in the near future, we anticipate that suppliers may require payment prior to shipment.

Our significant current obligations will continue to hamper our ability to generate significant cash flows from our operations for at least the first half of 2011.

Cash Flows

As noted above we experienced poor operational cash flows beginning in late 2009 and continuing through 2010.  Our operational cash outlays were partly off-set by the deferral of a significant portion of vendor obligations.  We are no longer in a position to defer these payments and require significant working capital infusions in the near future.

Our investing activities through 2010 consisted only of equipment purchases essential to maintaining the reduced level of operations for much of the year.  At the present time, we do not believe we need significant amounts of cash for equipment purchases to begin our expected increased level of business in 2011.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as further discussed above, we were unsuccessful in obtaining significant capital through debt or equity offerings.  As further noted above, in early 2011, we have begun an aggressive plan to raise significant capital primarily through equity offerings.

Sources of Liquidity

In March 2011 new members were nominated to the Board and subsequently, the new Board approved to raise up to $1,000,000 by private placement of our common shares at $0.15 per share of which we have raised $305,000 as of the date of this report.

 In April 2011, we engaged the services of Strategic Global Advisors LLC an Investor Relations company to assist in generating market awareness of the company.  Through this relationship, we are targeting a raise of approximately of $ 700,000 in early to mid 2011 through additional private placements of our common stock, however, there is no assurance this will actually be successful.

We have also engaged the services of Assured Value Advisors, Inc. who is experienced in merchant banking and financing for other funding later in 2011, however there is no assurance of succeeding.

With the expected capital infusions as noted above, we believe we will be able to generate cash from operations through our existing backlog and from obtaining new orders through our newly entered DRS agreement as discussed above. The US Armed Forces maintains a significant inventory of Ground Support Equipment that has been deployed in harsh environments which has led to worn out or unreliable Ground Support Equipment. Furthermore, obsolescence issues may require some equipment to be replaced with new equipment or be remanufactured. When this equipment returns from these environments, it requires major overhaul and maintenance.  We believe we have positioned ourselves to be at the forefront within this sector with our technical skills and licenses in place.

Debt Obligations

We are in the process of raising both equity capital through private placement and other debt financing to fund the working capital demand.  In March 2011, a group of three (3) note holders converted an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 in notes to equity.  Currently we are in default on most of our outstanding notes payable.  We have offered the same conversion terms and conditions to these note holders.  To date we have been unsuccessful in converting additional notes, however, these negotiations are on-going.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Please refer to our summary of significant accounting policies contained in the footnotes to consolidated 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 material accounting policies that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We are currently in engaged in the manufacture of aircraft engine trailers for the United States Air Force (“USAF”). Due to the long-term nature of the project we recognize revenue using the percentage of completion method.

The determination of the point or points at which revenue shall be recognized as earned and costs shall be recognized as expenses using the percentage completion method require significant judgment and input from our production personnel as well as our accounting department.  Accounting for this contract is essentially a process of measuring the results of relatively long-term events and allocating those results to relatively short-term accounting periods. This involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs, and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. The process is complicated by the need to evaluate continually the uncertainties inherent in the performance of contracts and by the need to rely on estimates of revenues, costs, and the extent of progress toward completion.

While the contract revenue amount is fixed, costs related to the contract require the development of reasonable estimates.  We generally obtain our estimates for materials, which we believe to be reasonable, based on vendor quotes for parts or purchase orders.  We rely on past experience with external consultants and knowledge gained from other similar products manufactured to determine our estimated indirect and labor costs.
 
We review and revise these estimates at least quarterly or when other circumstances indicate revision is necessary.  Revisions to our cost estimates can have material impacts on our financial position and results of operations.  For example, a 5% change in our cost estimates would result in an approximately $60,000 change in profit or additional losses related to the contract.

See our Results of Operations discussion for the financial impacts of such revisions made during 2010.

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. Stock based compensation can create temporary differences between book and tax expenses. Accrued expenses to related parties which are not deductible until paid are also a source for temporary differences between book and tax value.  In addition the company makes an assessment whether it is expected to realize tax benefits for the use of the carry forward losses in the near future. This assessment is partially based on historical data as well as future expectations.

ITEM 8.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY 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 sheets of Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 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 audits 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 consolidate financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operation and its cash flows for each of the years ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
  
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. has suffered losses during the periods presented which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 to customers.  Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Historically, the Company has been successful at collecting amounts billed.

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 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 the accounts receivable balance, allowance for uncollectible accounts, and corresponding bad debt expense were not material.  In 2009 we recognized bad debt expense of $8,989.

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.

The Company’s inventory consists of certain parts that are held for direct resale, raw materials, and accumulated contract costs for items not yet delivered to the customer.  These costs include purchases of direct materials, direct labor, and allocations of indirect production costs.

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
Auto 5 years 
                                                                                                                                                                     
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.

 Concentrations

The Company generates significant amounts of its revenue from a small number of customers.  The United States Government, specifically the Air Force and Navy, represented 17%  and 43% of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The remaining 83% and 57%, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, of sales were to less than ten  aerospace companies and military contractors.

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, 2010 and 2009. 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.

Phoenix International Ventures, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010

Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe methods for measuring fair value within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used.  The fair value hierarchy as established by US GAAP is as follows: 
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
 
Level 3 – Significant unobservable management judgment and estimates.

Stock Based Compensation.

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 it 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 and non-employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company did not issue any stock based compensation during the periods presented.  Prior awards were fully vested on the date of grant with the corresponding expense recognized in previous periods.

Revenue Recognition

 The Company accounts for its different revenue streams according to the following methods:

·  
Long term manufacturing and design contracts – generally, contracts which have expected durations of more than twelve months are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. The Company estimates its cost to complete the contract and recognizes its revenues based on the total cost incurred at the period as percentage of the total expected cost of the contract. The Company reviews, at least quarterly, its assumptions relating to the contract estimates.

·  
Short term manufacturing and re-manufacturing  orders – generally, orders for a specific unit which require less than twelve months of work to complete. The Company recognizes revenue on these types of contracts based on the completed contract method when delivery has occurred.

·  
Parts trading – generally, these orders are for parts that are not manufactured by the Company; and the Company buys and sells these parts with relatively small added value. The Company recognizes revenue on these types of contracts when delivery has occurred.
 
·  
Study contracts – generally, these contracts are for conducting feasibility and proof of concept studies on items requested by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue on these types of contracts as contractual milestones are achieved.


Cost of sales includes purchase of direct materials, freight, receiving, inspection, manufacturing labor and engineering, certain insurances, production supplies, allocated indirect labor and overhead costs,  and allocated depreciation which to date has not been material.

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 currently do not offer our customers any formal written service contracts. 
 
We have not historically incurred significant warranty obligations on our products.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 we accrued estimated warranty obligations of $23,269 and $0, respectively included in other accrued expenses.

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  per share is calculated by dividing net earnings  by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings  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  per share calculation. Both basic earnings (loss) and diluted earnings  per share amounts are calculated for all periods presented. The Company does not have any outstanding instruments that are convertible into shares of common stock.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605) Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  The amendments in the update provide guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive.  Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment made at the inception of the arrangement. The update also provides for additional disclosure.  The amendments in the update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the applicability of this update to our study contracts.  If the Company determines the update is applicable, it may have material impacts on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
Reclassifications
 
The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in the periods presented.
 
Note 2 - Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Going Concern

At December 31, 2010, the Company assessed its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has a significant working capital deficit which is reflective of the inability to meet its outstanding vendor obligations. The inability to meet these obligations has severely hampered the Company’s ability to generate revenue from the normal course of business.

The Company, since early 2011, has implemented an aggressive plan to raise additional capital primarily through equity financing in order to fund planned operations.  Through the date of this report the Company has achieved limited success in obtaining financing primarily through private placements.

The Company believes, although there can be no assurance, that its capital raising efforts will be sufficient to begin fulfilling ongoing orders.  Additionally, the Company has significantly reduced its operating expenses in the interim.

If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining capital it will fail to continue as going concern.

Product revenues are attributed to regions based on the location of the customer. The following table summarizes the Company’s geographical customer concentration of total product revenue.

Note 5 – Long-Term Contracts

For certain contracts, specifically the USAF trailer program currently in progress, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion method involves cost estimates to compute the contract profit which are subject to review and revision.

Cost and estimated earnings on this contract for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
Costs incurred to date
  $ 1,311,947     $ 1,120,484  
Estimated contract profit (loss)
    (119,275 )     258,577

Costs (billings) in excess of  billings (costs) and recognized profit (loss)
  $ (59,201 )   $ 277,519  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company made material revisions to its estimated costs to complete the USAF trailer program.  These revisions resulted in the Company recognizing no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 as well as a loss of $59,201.

Note 7 - Notes Payable

The Company has been able to either extend or secure new debt financing during the period ending December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 accrued interest relating to notes payable was approximately $25,000 and $1,500, respectively.  Interest expense associated with the notes payable was approximately $55,000 in 2010 compared to approximately $37,000 in 2009.

Outstanding notes of approximately $342,000 are in default. Two of the defaults are due to the inability to pay off the entire amount as per the maturity date while the other four are in default because of inability to make required quarterly interest payments. All notes that are currently in default have been categorized as current.  As of the date of this report no demands of repayment have been made on these notes.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009 notes payable consist of the following:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010

The Company has considered its previously taken tax positions for uncertainty  and believes that all positions taken in tax filings will more likely than not to be sustained on examination by tax authorities. As of December 31, 2010 the Company recognized $20,000 in statutory penalties related to the failure to report the required activity of its wholly owned foreign subsidiary.  The Company is open to Internal Revenue Service audit for 2006 through the present.

Note 11 – Subsequent Events
 
On March 24, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved private placements of up to 6,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock for up to $1,000,000 in cash at a price per share of $0.15 (the “Financing”), pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated as of February 28, 2011, as amended by a supplement dated March 22, 2011.  Messrs. Amit Barzelai, Uri Wittenberg and Hagai Langstadter purchased an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares of Company common stock for $250,000.  The offering of the remaining 5,000,000 shares will be made to accredited investors through April 30, 2011, subject to the Company’s right to terminate the offering at any time or extend it to as later as May 31, 2011.

On February 27, 2011, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Niv Nissenson as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) originally given on February 22, 2011. Mr. Nissenson resigned for personal reasons.  Mr. Nissenson indicated that he had no disagreements with the Company’s accounting policies or practices.  The resignation was effective on February 27, 2011.  The Company appointed Teja Shariff as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer until the sooner of June 1, 2011 or until a permanent replacement is elected by the Board.  Mr. Shariff is the brother of the Company’s CEO and President, Mr. Zahir Teja.

On March 22, 2011 Neev Nissenson resigned as Secretary and as a member of the board of directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.  On the same date the Company, Zahir Teja and certain other parties entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Mr. Nissenson.  Under terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Nissenson the sum of $136,593 in accrued salary and related compensation under his employment agreement with the Company, payable in monthly installments of $2,500 each commencing September 30, 2011.  Mr. Nissenson agreed to terminate his employment agreement with the Company and the parties exchanged mutual releases.

In a related development, on March 22, 2011, the Company, Zahir Teja and certain other parties entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Mr. Haim Nissenson and Anney Consulting Corp. (“Anney”).  Under the terms of the agreement, the October 2, 2006 consulting agreement among Mr. Haim Nissenson, Anney, Zahir Teja and the Company, and all amendments thereto, were terminated, and in full payment for $181,211 of accrued consulting fees payable to Anney, the Company agreed to issue to Anney an aggregate of 308,018 shares of Company common stock.  The agreement also obligates the Company to remove Haim Nissenson and Neev Nissonson from a $15,000 personal guaranty to an Israeli bank by September 30, 2011, and provides Haim Nissenson and Anney with certain piggyback registration rights on all Company shares  owned by them, subject to the terms of a maximum two year lockup agreement.  For so long as the lockup agreement remains in effect, the parties agreed that Anney and Haim Nissenson could nominate one individual to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company so long as such nominee is reasonably acceptable to the members of the Company’s board of directors.
 
To fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Neev Nissenson, on March 24, 2011, Zahir Teja appointed Amit Barzelai to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.  Pursuant to the authority granted to the directors in the Company By-Laws, Messrs. Teja and Barzelai then amended the By-Laws to increase the size of the board of directors of the Company from two persons to a minimum of three and a maximum of seven persons.  The directors then appointed Messrs. Uri Wittenberg, Hagai Langstadter and Ofer Bar-Nes Nissensohn to serve as additional members of the board of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries.  As a result, the board of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries now consists of five members.

ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
On April 11, 2011, by letter dated April 10, 2011, Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. ( “Company”) notified its independent registered public accounting firm, Hunter & Renfro LLP (“H&R”), of its intention to engage Mark Bailey & Company (“Bailey”), as its new independent registered public accounting firm, at which time the Company dismissed H&R.  The decision to dismiss H&R and to engage Bailey was approved by the  Company's Board of Directors.
 
Bailey had formerly audited the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended.  Such audit did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  
 
In early 2010, H&R was engaged by the Company to act as its independent accountants and reviewed the unaudited quarterly balance sheets of the Company as at March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the three fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2010.  H&R did not audit any of the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
 
During the Company’s 2010 fiscal year and the subsequent interim period ended April 10, 2011 (the date of H&R’s dismissal), there were no disagreements between the Company and H&R on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to H&R’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.  Also, during such periods, there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
The Company provided H&R with the foregoing disclosures and has requested that it furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not H&R agrees with the statements made by the Company herein.
 
On April 10, 2011, the Company reengaged Bailey as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit it’s consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2010 and for the fiscal year then ended.  During the Company’s recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period ended April 11, 2011 (the date of Bailey’s engagement), the Company did not consult Bailey with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements, any reportable events or other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
 
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010 (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to the limitations as noted below, were not effective during the period and as of the end of the period covered by this annual report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the 1934 act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our 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 generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting 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 our assets;
       
 
 
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 and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
       
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2010. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting has the following deficiencies as of December 31, 2010:

We did not maintain effective controls to ensure there is adequate analysis, documentation, reconciliation, and review of accounting records and supporting data, especially as it relates to complex transactions. These control deficiencies contributed to the individual material weaknesses described below:

a)  
 Shortage of qualified financial reporting personnel with sufficient depth, skills and experience to apply accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

b)  
We did not maintain effective controls to ensure there is adequate analysis, documentation, reconciliation, and review of accounting records and supporting data.

c)  
We do not have adequate controls in place to identify and approve non-recurring transactions such that the validity and proper accounting can be determined on a timely basis.
 
d)  
During 2010 the Company did not have a functioning independent auditing committee.
 
 
-31-

 
In summary, the control deficiencies and material weaknesses noted above could result in a material misstatement of the aforementioned accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that each of the control deficiencies described above constitutes a material weakness.

Remediation of Material Weakness

None of the material weaknesses previously disclosed was effectively remediated during 2010 or through the date of this report.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors or misstatements and all fraud. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the policies and procedures are met. Also, 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.

Our Board of Directors, management and Mark Bailey & Company our independent auditors discussed these weaknesses and we have assigned the highest priority to their correction. In 2011, we plan to continue to add financial resources and expertise, both through internal hiring and using outside consultants that will provide hands-on oversight of the monthly financial closing, data analysis, and account reconciliation.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

There is no information that was required to be disclosed, but was not disclosed in a report on a Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

In 2010 the Company purchased inventory in connection with the performance on remanufacturing contracts from Mawenzi, Inc. a company owned by the brother in law of our CEO, President and Director, Mr. Zahir Teja. At December 31, 2010 the Company owed Mawenzi, Inc. $123,000. The Company believes that all purchases were made at fair market value.

On March 22, 2011 Neev Nissenson resigned as Secretary and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.  On the same date, the Company, Zahir Teja and certain other parties entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Mr. Nissenson.  Under terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Mr. Nissenson the sum of $136,593 in accrued salary and related compensation under his employment agreement with the Company, payable in monthly installments of $2,500 each commencing September 30, 2011. Mr. Nissenson agreed to terminate his employment agreement with the Company and the parties exchanged mutual releases.

In a related development, on March 22, 2011, the Company, Zahir Teja and certain other parties entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with Mr. Haim Nissenson and Anney Consulting Corp. (“Anney”).  Under terms of the agreement, the October 2, 2006 consulting agreement among Mr. Haim Nissenson, Anney, Zahir Teja and the Company, and all amendments thereto, were terminated, and in full payment for $181,211 of accrued consulting fees payable to Anney, the Company agreed to issue to Anney an aggregate of 308,018 shares of Company common stock.  The agreement also obligates the Company to remove Haim Nissenson and Neev Nissonson from a $15,000 personal guaranty to an Israeli bank by September 30, 2011, and provides Haim Nissenson and Anney with certain piggyback registration rights on all Company shares  owned by them, subject to the terms of the maximum two year lockup agreement referred to below.  For so long as the lockup agreement remains in effect, the parties agreed that Anney and Haim Nissenson could nominate one individual to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Company so long as such nominee is reasonably acceptable to the members of the Company’s board of directors.
 
To fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Neev Nissenson, on March 24, 2011, Zahir Teja appointed Amit Barzelai to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.  Pursuant to the authority granted to the directors in the Company By-Laws, Messrs. Teja and Barzelai then amended the By-Laws to increase the size of the board of directors of the Company from two persons to a minimum of three and a maximum of seven persons.  The directors then appointed Messrs. Uri Wittenberg, Hagai Langstadter and Ofer Bar-Nes Nissensohn to serve as additional members of the Board of Directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries.  As a result, the board of directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries now consists of five members.

In April 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an agreement whereby $408,000 of accrued obligations owed by our Company and its Phoenix Aerospace subsidiary to Zahir Teja, our President and Chief Executive Officer was converted into 2,720,000 additional shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.15 per share.

In April 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional shares of its common stock to Amit Barzelai (250,000 shares) Uri Wittenberg (250,000 shares), Hagai Langstadter (250,000 shares) and Ofer Bar-Nes Nissensohn (250,000 shares), and immediately exercisable five year options entitling each of such persons to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, in consideration for such persons agreement to serve as members of our Board of Directors.  We agreed to issue these securities to these members of our Board of Directors, in consideration for their agreement to serve in such capacity in the absence of directors and officers’ liability insurance.

The offering of the promissory notes, the shares of common stock and the warrants was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction by the Company not involving any public offering, the investors met the “accredited investor” criteria required by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, there was no underwriter and no general solicitation related to the offering.
