Stratos Renewables Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stratos Renewables Corporation, formerly New Design Cabinets, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.
 
Organization and line of business
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 29, 2004. Stratos del Peru S.A.C. was incorporated in Lima, Peru, on February 27, 2007 with the name of Estratosfera del Perú S.A.C. On July 11, 2007, the general meeting of shareholders agreed to change the Company’s name to its current one, Stratos del Peru S.A.C. (“Stratos del Peru”), which was officially registered with the Tax Administration on October 11, 2007.
 
On November 14, 2007, Stratos del Peru entered into a share exchange agreement (“Share Exchange”) with the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 45,000,000 shares of its common stock to the former security holders of Stratos del Peru in exchange for 999, or 99.9%, of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Stratos del Peru. Upon closing the Share Exchange, the Company had 55,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as a result of the issuance of 45,000,000 shares of common stock to the former security holders of Stratos del Peru. Effective November 20, 2007, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change the name of the corporation from “New Design Cabinets, Inc.” to “Stratos Renewables Corporation.”
 
The Share Exchange is deemed to be a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. As the acquired entity, Stratos del Peru is regarded as the predecessor entity as of November 14, 2007. Accordingly, the merger of the Company and Stratos del Peru was recorded as a recapitalization of Stratos del Peru, with Stratos del Peru being treated as the continuing entity and the management and board of directors of Stratos del Peru were appointed as officers and directors of the Company. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations presents the amounts as if the acquisition occurred on February 27, 2007 (date of inception for Stratos del Peru).
 
Additionally, in connection with the reverse merger transaction, the Company conducted a private placement of common stock, preferred stock and convertible promissory notes totaling approximately $10 million.
 
The Company’s business objectives are the purchase, sale, production, distribution, marketing, transport, warehousing, mixture, exports and imports of all kinds of products derived from hydrocarbons and bio-fuels, being solids, liquids or gases. The Company is currently a development stage company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7 as it has not commenced generating revenue. The Company’s offices and administrative headquarters are located in Lima, Peru.

Minority interest
 
Minority interest has not been presented on the consolidated balance sheet due to accumulated losses which exceed the minority stockholders equity. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, the minority interest has been written down to zero on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The reporting currency of the Company is the US dollar. The Company uses its local currency, Peruvian Nuevos Soles (PEN) as its functional currency. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the PEN as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
 
Translation adjustments were $686,811 and $14,021 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Asset and liability amounts at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated at 2.746 and 2.997 PEN to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rate applied to the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 2.872 PEN to $1.00 USD. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the period; therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within Peru and the United States. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the Unites States. Balances at financial institutions within Peru are not covered by insurance. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had deposits in excess of federally insured limits totaling $2,177,096 and $3,403,946, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
 
The Company will extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company will monitor its exposure for credit losses and will maintain allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

VAT receivable
 
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recognized a VAT (value added tax) receivable of $1,132,756 and $899,567, respectively, in Peru. VAT is charged at a standard rate of 19% and the Company obtains income tax credits for VAT paid in connection with the purchase of capital equipment and other goods and services employed in its operations. The Company is entitled to use the credits against its Peruvian income tax liability or to receive a refund credit against VAT payable or sales. As the Company does not anticipate incurring either a Peruvian tax or a VAT liability during the next fiscal year, the receivable was classified as a long-term asset.
 
Plant and equipment
 
Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 10 years. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company follows the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2008, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
 
Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The income tax rate applicable to Peruvian companies is 30%. If the Company distributes its earnings fully or partially, it shall apply an additional rate of 4.1% on the distributed amount, which will be borne by the shareholders, as long as they are individuals or companies non-domiciled in Peru. The 4.1% rate tax will be borne by the Company and will apply on any amount or payment in kind subject to income tax that may represent an indirect disposition not subject to subsequent tax control, including amounts debited to expenses and undeclared revenues. As from January 1, 2007 the tax payer must liquidate and pay the 4.1% tax directly together with its monthly obligations without the requirement of a previous tax audit by the Tax Administration.
 
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, during 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Company’s financial statements.

Basic and Diluted Losses per share
 
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. All preferred shares, warrants, and options were excluded from the diluted loss per share due to the anti-dilutive effect.
 
Accrued warrant liability and accrued beneficial conversion feature
 
Pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the Company has recorded the fair value of all outstanding warrants as an accrued warrant liability since the Company’s convertible promissory notes are convertible into an undetermined number of shares of common stock. As a result, the Company may not have enough authorized shares to satisfy the exercise of its outstanding warrants. In addition, the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible promissory notes is recorded as an accrued beneficial conversion liability
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follow:
 
·  
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
·  
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·  
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”
 
The Company’s beneficial conversion liability is carried at fair value totaling $257,115 and $250,938, as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007; the Company carries its warrants at fair value totaling $1,625,656 and $1,164,501 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the beneficial conversion liability, and warrant liability, and their fair values are determined by using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
 
Note 3 - Development Stage Company and Going Concern
 
The Company is a new development stage company and is subject to risks and uncertainties that include: new product development, actions of competitors, reliance on the knowledge and skills of its employees to be able to service customers, and availability of sufficient capital and a limited operating history. Accordingly, the Company presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply in establishing new operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the consolidated accumulated statement of operations and cash flows from inception of the development stage to the date on the current balance sheet. Contingencies exist with respect to this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has not generated any operating revenue and has working capital deficits, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations.
 
Management recently raised approximately $10 million in debt and equity capital and is attempting to raise additional debt and equity capital. Management believes that this plan provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 - Stockholders’ Equity
 
Common Stock Private Placement
 
Immediately following the above mentioned Share Exchange under Note 1, the Company entered into a private placement (“Private Placement”) and issued an aggregate of 2,666,794 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,333,396 shares of common stock. The issuance of 2,666,794 shares of common stock has been included as a component in the accompanying consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company in connection with the Private Placement were $1,867,090. Each share of common stock was sold to investors at $0.70 per share. The fair value of the warrants amounted to $352,268. The fair value was computed using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 year; (2) volatility of 100%; and (3) risk free interest of 5.0%. The warrants expire after five (5) years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
 
Series A Preferred Stock Private Placement
 
Immediately following the above mentioned Share Exchange, the Company completed a Series A Private Placement (“Series A Private Placement”) and issued to MA Green 7,142,857 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,785,714 shares of common stock. The issuance of 7,142,857 shares of Preferred Stock has been included as a component in the accompanying Statement of Stockholders’ Equity. The gross proceeds raised by the Company in connection with the Series A Private Placement were $5,000,000. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was sold at $0.70 per share. The warrants expire five (5) years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, Steven Magami, is the manager of MA Green.

The fair value of the 1,785,714 warrants issued with the Series A Private Placement was $471,765. The fair value was computed using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 year; (2) volatility of 100%, (3) risk free interest of 5.0% and (4) dividend rate of $0%. In addition, since this convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a one to one ratio an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount to additional paid in capital in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a preferred stock dividend at the date of issuance. The Company recognized $471,765 of preferred dividends related to the beneficial conversion feature.
 
Bridge Financing
 
Immediately following the above mentioned Share Exchange, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Bridge Financing”) with investors and issued an aggregate of $3,048,000 in convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 870,858 shares of common stock. The convertible promissory notes issued in connection with the Bridge Financing bear interest at 10% per annum. The bridge note holders received one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for every $3.50 invested in the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing. The aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing were approximately $3.0 million. The warrants will expire three (3) years from the closing date of Bridge Financing. Total interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2008 amounted to $115,239.
 
Further, upon the earlier to occur of (i) three (3) months from the closing date of the Bridge Financing (the “Maturity Date”), and (ii) the consummation a PIPE financing with institutional investors for at least $25 million, net of offering expenses (the “PIPE”), the bridge note holders are entitled to repayment (in cash or in common stock) equal to 25% to 30% in excess of the principal and accrued interest then due and outstanding under the terms of the notes (the “Repayment Amount”). The bridge note holders entitled to a Repayment Amount of 25% in excess of the principal and accrued interest due under the terms of the notes will receive a 5% origination fee as consideration for making loans to the Company. The bridge note holders entitled to a Repayment Amount of 30% in excess of the principal and accrued interest due under the terms of the notes will not be entitled to an origination fee. Upon the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date or the consummation of the PIPE, the bridge note holders will have the right to convert (in whole or in part) 110% of the Repayment Amount into shares of common stock of the Company at the fair market value of each share of common stock, or at the price per share of common stock sold to investors in the PIPE, as the case may be.
 
Per EITF 00-19, paragraph 4, these convertible promissory notes do not meet the definition of a “conventional convertible debt instrument” since the debt is not convertible into a fixed number of shares.  The debt can be converted into common stock at a conversions price that is a percentage of the market price; therefore the number of shares that could be required to be delivered upon “net-share settlement” is essentially indeterminate.  Therefore, the convertible promissory notes are considered “non-conventional,” which means that the detachable warrants and the conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt and shown as a separate derivative liability.  
 
The $3,048,000 proceeds from the convertible promissory notes were allocated to the detachable warrants. The fair value of the 870,858 warrants issued in connection with this transaction was $229,748. The fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:  term of 1 year, a risk free interest rate of 5.0%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 100%. In addition the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with the convertible promissory notes was $874,990. Both the value assigned to the warrants ($229,748) and the beneficial conversion feature ($874,990) is recorded as debt discounts and will be amortized over the terms of the convertible promissory notes. For the period ended March 31, 2008, the Company amortized $552,369 of the aforesaid debt discounts as other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7 - Intercompany Promissory Note
 
In connection with the Share Exchange, the Company agreed to lend Stratos del Peru $5.5 million pursuant to the terms of a Promissory Note, dated as of November 14, 2007 (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is unsecured, bears interest at a rate of 4.39% compounded annually and must be repaid in full on or before November 14, 2014. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there is $91,288 and $30,181 of accrued interest, respectively. These amounts have been eliminated in consolidation in the March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 financial statements.
 
Note 8 - Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has incurred net operating losses in Peru and the United States for income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2007. The net operating loss carry forwards amounted to $1,881,698 and $3,728,683 for Peru and the United States, respectively which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These carry forwards will expire, if not utilized through 2011 and 2027 for Peru and the United States, respectively. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses for United States income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit to reduce the asset to zero. The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended March 31, 2008 was an increase of $1,075,334. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as warranted.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or the Report, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Stratos Renewables Corporation, a Nevada corporation (referred to in this Report as “we,” “us,” “our” or “registrant”) and other statements contained in this Report that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements in this Report or hereafter included in other publicly available documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, reports to our stockholders and other publicly available statements issued or released by us involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause our actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such future results are based upon management’s best estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. When used in this Report, the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements, because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. There are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors that are discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and changes in our financial condition from our year ended December 31, 2007. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Overview
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2008.  This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to the risks discussed in this report.
 
We intend to engage in the business of producing, processing and distributing sugarcane ethanol in Peru. Ethanol is a renewable energy source that provides significant economic and environmental benefits when mixed with gasoline and used as motor fuel.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, recoverability of intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily the valuation of our fixed assets and the recoverability of our VAT receivable. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
We follow the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” or SFAS 144, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on our review, we believe that, as of March 31, 2008, there were no significant impairments of long-lived assets.
 
Plan of Operations
 
Overview
 
This current report contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. The following discussion, which focuses on our plan of operation through the commencement of operations of our plant, consists almost entirely of forward-looking information and statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those indicated or anticipated, as discussed in the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements.” This may occur as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
 
Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, we commenced our business plan to develop ethanol and sugar products through the cultivation, harvesting and processing of sugarcane in low cost growing locations. From a strategic value perspective, our management believes a geographic focus in Peru will be a key component in achieving our goals.
 
Our business plan consists of two phases. Phase I will primarily be focused on establishing our initial ethanol production facilities and infrastructure. Phase II will primarily be focused on expanding our operations in strategic locations.
 
Phase I
 
Phase I of our business plan is comprised of six components:
 
·  
mill and distillery acquisition, expansion and modification;
 
·  
seedling production;
 
·  
compost production;
 
·  
land sourcing;
 
·  
field installment; and
 
·  
conducting feasibility studies and generating a business plan for Phase II.
 
Mill and distillery acquisition, expansion and modification
 
On October 18, 2007, Stratos Peru entered into an asset purchase agreement with Gabinete Tecnico de Cobranzas S.A.C., or Gabinete, pursuant to which it acquired certain assets and rights relating to the Estrella del Norte sugar mill located in the province of Chepen, Peru, or the Sugar Mill. Stratos Peru paid approximately $4.5 million plus a value added tax of 19% to acquire the Sugar Mill.  Of the purchase price, we held back $350,000, or the Holdback, representing approximately 7.74% of the purchase price, into an escrow contingencies account with Banco Continental in Lima, Peru.  The Holdback is to protect us in the event Gabinete fails to fulfill certain tax obligations relating to the equipment for the years 2002 through 2007, the equipment is lost or damaged while in transit from Gabinete, the equipment is not delivered to us, or certain representations made by Gabinete in the asset purchase agreement are discovered to be false.
 
19

 
We plan to relocate the Sugar Mill and to acquire and install a distillery unit to adjoin it for the production of ethanol. Additionally, we plan to upgrade the Sugar Mill’s capacity to crush sugarcane from 500 tons of including the value added tax sugarcane per day to 1,100 tons of sugarcane per day. We estimate that we will need a total of $9.6 million in investment and working capital to overhaul, expand and relocate the Sugar Mill, acquire the distillery and conduct operations at the mill and distillery through the first quarter of 2009.
 
On December 4, 2007 we entered into an agreement with a member of our advisory board, for his services in providing us with a plan for us to hire a contractor to dismantle, repair and overhaul the equipment from the Sugar Mill. He will also provide us with engineering studies in order to determine the maximum capacity of sugar cane processing of the Sugar Mill and to establish the process layout and technical specifications that will be required for new machinery and equipments.
 
On February 27, 2008, Stratos Peru entered into an agreement with Panka S.A.C. to provide us with a basic engineering plan and new layout of the Sugar Mill after the overhauling of the Sugar Mill.
 
On March 12, 2008, Stratos Peru entered into an agreement, the CWE Agreement, with CWE.  The CWE Agreement relates to the relocation of the Sugar Mill to the Industrial Lot, that we have obtained the rights to in the Lambayeque region. Under the terms of the CWE Agreement, we engaged CWE to clean, remove and disassemble equipment located at the Sugar Mill.   We have agreed to pay CWE a service fee of approximately $150,000, payable in installments.  In connection with the payment of the service fee, we executed two promissory notes in favor of CWE, each in the amount of $8,330.  The Notes are both due and payable on May 22, 2008.  The CWE Agreement terminates on June 9, 2008. 
 
In March 2008 we began the dismantling of all of the equipment. We anticipate that the dismantling will be complete by the end of June 2008.
 
After modifying and expanding the Sugar Mill, we plan to use approximately 40% of its capacity to produce raw sugar to be sold in the local wholesale markets, and 60% of its capacity to produce an estimated 4.8 million gallons of ethanol a year.
 
On May 3, 2008, we entered into a lease with an unaffiliated third party in order to obtain the rights to use 24,000 hectares of undeveloped land in Peru, of which 15,000 hectares are plantable land.
 
Seedling Production
 
The second component of Phase I will be to establish a high quality seedling production program to supply our planned intensive planting program scheduled to commence during Phase II of our business strategy. We intend to lease a plot of land in the Piura region, which we believe is an ideal location with respect to its climate and surrounding environment, to establish a sugarcane seedling nursery.
 
On February 6, 2008, Stratos Peru entered into a services agreement with Biotecnologia Del Peru S.A.C, or Biotecnologia, to establish a pilot seedling laboratory, or Pilot Laboratory.  Pursuant to the agreement, Biotecnologia installed a laboratory in Piura with appropriate equipment and experienced personnel.  They are in the process of studying various breeds of genetic material, in order to advise Stratos Peru which breed will generate the most elite sugar cane plantlets.
 
20

 
Compost Production
 
In addition to establishing a seedling production program in Phase I, we also intend to implement an organic fertilizer production program to support our planned intensive planting program scheduled to commence during Phase II. We anticipate that our compost production program will begin in the second quarter of 2008.
 
Land Sourcing
 
The fourth component of Phase I will be to secure land for sugarcane production from three potential sources: small and medium private land lots; peasant community land lots; and state owned land lots. The most important factors in locating land suitable for sugarcane production are water supply, soil composition, climate, distance from the Sugar Mill and access to roads and other services.
 
Field Installment
 
The fifth component, as part of our main objective to be the market leader in sustainable low-cost ethanol production, will be to take advantage of our “greenfield” position to use only sophisticated crop management techniques to ensure maximum yield with high sucrose and inverted sugar content. The Peruvian coast is ideal for these modern farming techniques, as water and nutrient content can be managed due to the sandy soil and irrigation equipment to be installed.  To ensure the maximum benefit from the genetically cleaned sugar varieties that we intend to install on our comparatively low-cost land, significant investment will go into channeling water to the sites from national irrigation projects and on field irrigation installation with back-up water supply, and land preparation to ensure the longevity and productivity of the fields which includes grading, leveling, initial nutrient and organic material installation, and field layout.
 
Conducting feasibility studies and generating a business plan for Phase II
 
The final component of Phase I will initially involve hiring a consultant to conduct a feasibility study based on the information provided by our land sourcing efforts. The study will focus on generating cost estimates and designs based on analyzing the climactic, water, soil, topography and irrigation characteristics of the properties identified by our land sourcing team. Following the completion of the feasibility study, we will create a comprehensive business plan for Phase II consisting of an overview of the industry, a market analysis, competitive analysis, marketing plan, management plan and financial plan. We will also perform a port feasibility study, which if successful, will optimize our distribution of ethanol and reduce our operation costs for distribution to world markets.
 
Our goal is to have all of the components of Phase I completed by early 2009 so that we can begin executing Phase II.
 
Phase II
 
Phase II of our business plan will consist of our expansion in strategic locations along the northern Peruvian coast and the cultivation of our own sugarcane supplies to be used for production. In connection with Phase II, we anticipate raising and investing funds over an additional $600 million in order to plant sugarcane on 48,000 hectares of raw land, and acquire and operate a total of four mills with attached ethanol distilleries, with expandable capacities and distribution port infrastructure. By the fourth quarter of 2014, it is our goal to be able to process a total of 25,000 tons of sugarcane per day, and produce approximately 180 million gallons of anhydrous ethanol annually.
 
We expect to initiate Phase II by the first quarter of 2009. The mill and distillers we plan to establish in Phase II will be located in regions that we have selected based on our extensive research of agro climatic conditions, hydrology, basic services, logistic supplies and social environment. We plan to establish the four locations in two stages.
 
21

 
Stage One - Olmos and Morrope
 
During the first stage, which will begin in the second quarter of 2009, we plan to start exercising the lease contract which we believe we will have with the Peasant Community of Olmos and Morrope for 24,000 hectares of land. We estimate that the total cost for Stage One will be approximately $295 million, consisting of $135 million in costs related to administration, field installation and the development of an infrastructure, and $160 million in costs related to the construction of production facilities and distribution port.
 
Stage Two - Chepen
 
During the second stage, which will begin in the second quarter of 2011, we plan to plant the first 24,000 hectares of land around the Chepen valley, located along the northern Peruvian coast. We estimate that the total cost for this stage will be approximately $325 million, consisting of $135 million in costs related to administration, field installation, and the development of an infrastructure, and $190 million in costs relating to the construction of production facilities and distribution port.
 
Trends and Uncertainties
 
Our future growth will be dependent initially on our ability to establish reliable sources of sugarcane for the operation of the Sugar Mill, and going forward, on our ability to develop our own supplies of sugarcane. We must be successful in establishing sugarcane supply relationships with local growers and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into such relationships for sufficient amounts of sugarcane. Additionally, we must be successful in establishing seedling, compost and land sourcing programs in order to allow us to develop a consistent, reliable and cost-effective long-term supply of sugarcane.
 
We will require a significant amount of additional capital in the future to sufficiently fund our operations. We may not be able to obtain additional capital on terms favorable to us or at all. We expect to increase our operating expenses over the coming years. We estimate that Phase I of our business plan, which is currently in effect, will cost a total of approximately $33 million. Furthermore, we estimate that will need over an additional $600 million to fund our expansion during the course of Phase II of our operations, which is set to commence during the first quarter of 2009 and continue for five years thereafter.
 
Most of our operations, including the Sugar Mill, the land we have obtained the rights to and the land we propose to obtain the rights to on which to grow our sugarcane supplies, are located in Peru. Although we believe that conducting operations in Peru will provide us with significant competitive advantages, we will also be subject to risks not typically associated with ownership of United States companies.
 
Financing
 
To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows from operations during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Given that we are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues to date, our cash flow projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including our ability to manage our expected growth, complete construction of our proposed plant and commence operations. We can offer no assurance that our company will generate cash flow sufficient to meet our cash flow projections or that our expenses will not exceed our projections. If our expenses exceed estimates, we will require additional monies during the next twelve months to execute our business plan.
 
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
 
22

 
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, completion of our proposed plant and successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products once developed and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We intend to pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
 
Historically, we have met our immediate and long-term financial requirements primarily through the sale of common stock and other convertible equity securities. In 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, we conducted the following private placements of our securities:
 
Private Placement of Common Stock
 
On November 14, 2007, we completed a private placement for our securities, or Private Placement, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 2,666,794 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,333,396 shares of common stock. We raised $1,867,090 aggregate gross proceeds in connection with the Private Placement. We sold to investors each share of common stock at $0.70 per share. The fair value of the warrants amounted to $352,268. We computed the fair value using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 year; (2) volatility of 100%; and (3) risk free interest of 5.0%. The warrants expire after five (5) years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
 
On March 7, 2008 we closed on $1,587,447 of our $10 million private placement, and unless we receive the full $10 million earlier, we anticipate that we will continue to offer its securities on the same terms and conditions until at least May 31, 2008. Pursuant to this financing, we issued an aggregate of 2,267,782 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,133,888 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants amounted to $294,360. We computed the fair value using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 year; (2) volatility of 100%; and (3) risk free interest of 3.0%. The warrants expire after five (5) years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
 
Series A Preferred Stock Private Placement
 
On November 14, 2007 we completed a Series A private placement, or Series A Private Placement, pursuant to which we issued to MA Green 7,142,857 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,785,714 shares of common stock. We raised $5,000,000 gross in connection with the Series A Private Placement. We sold each share of Series A Preferred Stock at $0.70 per share. The warrants expire five (5) years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Steven Magami, is the manager of MA Green.
 
23

 
The fair value of the 1,785,714 warrants issued with the Series A Private Placement was $471,765. The fair value was computed using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 1 year; (2) volatility of 100%, (3) risk free interest of 5.0% and (4) dividend rate of 10%. In addition, since this convertible preferred stock is convertible into shares of common stock at a one-to-one ratio (unless the conversion occurs upon the consummation of a financing or financings in an aggregate amount of $25 million), an embedded beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount to additional paid in capital in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.” The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a preferred stock dividend at the date of issuance. The Company recognized $471,765 of preferred dividends related to the beneficial conversion feature.
 
On April 18, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 1,428,572 shares of Series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $0.70 per share, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with this sale, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,143 shares of common stock. The warrants have a five (5) year term and an exercise price of $0.75 per share.
 
Bridge Financing
 
We entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement on November 14, 2007, or Bridge Financing, with investors and issued an aggregate of $3,048,000 in convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 870,858 shares of common stock. The convertible promissory notes issued in connection with the Bridge Financing bear interest at 10% per annum. The bridge note holders received one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, for every $3.50 invested in the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing. We raised $3.0 million aggregate gross proceeds in connection with the Bridge Financing. The warrants will expire three (3) years from the closing date of Bridge Financing. Total interest expense at December 31, 2007 amounted to $56,125. On March 26, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (“Amendment”) with investors related to the $3,048,000 Convertible Promissory Notes. Pursuant to the Amendment, the maturity dates of the Convertible Promissory Notes were extended from February 14, 2008 to April 30, 2008.
 
On April 29, 2008, we made principal re-payments in the total amount of $1,524,000 towards the $3,040,000 convertible promissory notes. These notes are currently in default.
 
Cash Used for Investing Activities
 
On October 18, 2007, we signed a purchase-sale contract with Gabinete Técnico de Cobranza S.A.C., and have acquired certain assets that are part of the Sugar Mill. This purchase price was $5,382,328:
 
·  
$5,032,328 by bank draft issued to the order of Gabinete Técnico de Cobranza S.A.C.;
 
·  
$350,000 to be deposited in a bank account in order to guarantee payment of any contingency that may arise from this transaction
 
We acquired certain assets from Gabinete Técnico de Cobranza S.A.C. as part of its overall business strategy to purchase, sale, produce, distribute, market, transport, warehouse, export and import of all kinds of products derives from hydrocarbons and bio-fuels.
 
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:  The fair values are determined based on an appraisal:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and retrospective application is prohibited.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities” (“FSP EITF 07-3”), which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity has been performed. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of March 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.  Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
None
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, which to our knowledge have not materially changed. Those risks, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On March 7, 2008 we closed on $1,587,447 of a $10 million private placement, and unless we receive the full $10 million earlier, we anticipate that we will continue to offer our securities on the same terms and conditions until at least May 31, 2008. Pursuant to the March 2008 Financing, we issued an aggregate of 2,267,782 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.70 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,133,888 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants have a “cashless” exercise provision, expire five years from the date of issuance, and are exercisable at $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The common stock and warrants issued in connection with this financing were not registered under the Securities Act and were issued in reliance upon exemptions set forth in Section 4(2), Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act. Our determination with regard to the applicable exemptions from registration was based on the representations of the investors, which included, in pertinent part, that such investors were either: (a) “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (b) not a “U.S. person” as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and that the investors understood that the securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
 
On April 18, 2008, we completed a private placement of the Company’s securities to Grey K, consisting of the sale of an aggregate of 1,428,572 shares of Series A preferred stock at a purchase price of $0.70 per share, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. Grey K also received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 357,143 shares of common stock. The warrants have a five (5)year term and an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The purchasers were also granted certain demand and piggyback rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Series A preferred stock and the warrants. In connection with this private placement, we received gross proceeds of $1,000,000, less a funding fee paid to Grey K equal to 2% of the purchase price paid and other expenses.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
No matters were submitted to our stockholders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the first quarter of the year ended March 31, 2008.
 
Item 5. Other Information
 
We entered into an employment agreement with Steven Magami for his services as our Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective May 15, 2008.
