PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Statements in this Form 10-K Annual Report may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and probably will, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this Form 10-K Annual Report, including the risks described under "Risk Factors" and "Ma nagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, competition, government regulations and requirements and pricing, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K Annual Report.
GENERAL
UC Hub is a software development and a digital distribution company with primary interests in global digital communications and digitally based products and services necessary to support the corporate vision of the "Digital Community."
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT
In February 1999, United Communications Hub, Inc., a California corporation, was formed as a telecommunications company that initially began as a switchless long distance reseller. It was our initial intent to also become a certified local exchange carrier in order to provide a full range of local and long distance vertical services. This was to be the foundation of our electronic distributive concept of the "Digital City" where integrated services could be distributed and billed from digital hubs over fiber and in the future, wireless mediums. The original corporate strategy was to develop or acquire the technologies as well as those products and services necessary to support the "Digital City" concept which would subsequently drive electronic transactions.
In September 2002, we acquired AllCom USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation, which is a licensed carrier that had approximately $2.6 million a year in revenue. AllCom USA had a support infrastructure in place as a switchless reseller of long distance and related services before we closed this business.
In September 2003, we formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, eSAFE, Inc, a Nevada corporation, as our financial services arm to provide electronic payments, cash cards and related custom transactional based services to local communities.
In March 2004 we merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Expertise Technology Innovation, Inc., which resulted in a change of control of that company as discussed below. See "Change of Control."
In July 2004, we acquired the assets and intellectual properties of Govt.com and created an operating division to write, re-work and market municipal government software under the name OurTown2. This acquisition helped fill a void for software support in the Digital City vision.
In September 2005 the company sold the limited customer base of AllCom USA to AFN Inc The move was done to consolidate operations and focus on more profitable business.
In April 2006, the company sold its interest in eSafe, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to PSPP Holdings, Inc. and in 2007 rescinded this deal and eSAFE Inc was returned to the parent UC Hub Group Inc.
March 31, 2008 we acquired the assets of GreenZap Inc and began a marketing program with their staff. and subsequently demanded a rescission agreement due to conflicts of interest and disagreements on the representations and warranty of the software and asset base.
In 2007 and 2008 we spent a considerable amount of time setting up the “Africard” in West Africa and strategically aligned with BIB Banks in Burkina Faso and Cote D’ Ivoire and Visa Interantional before capital infusion was no longer available for planning and execution of the business plan.
In 2008 in May we signed an LOI for a plan to merge with Votecom. We attempted to find consensus among our creditors and were unable to do so, therefore, terminated the future negotiations.
3
BUSINESS
Our overall strategic plan is to continue to develop, add and offer other synergistic services that drive digital distribution to international clients. We believe in the evolution from an Internet-based (web centric) environment of today to a wireless technology (more mobile centric) environment in the future. We expect that this convergence of Internet and wireless technologies will provide economies of scale and ease of use that will support the digital distribution of content combined with the ability to buy, sell and trade using a variety of mobile and web platforms portals we will offer. The long-term vision is to also find merger candidates that will bring shareholder value to the company. Our current focus is the global media portals and finding IP that enhances the efficiency of distribution.
The software infrastructure of the globalweb site is a key element in not only differentiating our offerings, but also providing our customers the ability to adjust to the constant changes in the marketplace. The applications are real-time on-demand applications. Also our intellectual properties are key assets that we
expect will create barriers to entry for the competition with respect to development and implementation times for competing software applications. We believe that as the applications from the digital distribution hub increase, the consolidation of software interface will become even more efficient, and our client's acquisition costs should go down while the return on investment increases.
EMPLOYEES
Currently, we have one employee and continue to use consultants on an as needed basis As we grow, we will need to attract an unknown number of additional qualified employees, however we could be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining the persons needed.
RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Growth by acquisition.
We intend to acquire synergistic companies as we develop and grow the business. Any time a company's growth strategy depends on the acquisition of other companies there is substantial risk. In order to pursue a growth by acquisition strategy successfully, we must identify suitable candidates for these transactions, complete them, and manage post-closing issues such as the integration into our corporate structure. Integration issues are complex, time consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt our business including, but not limited to, the diversion of management's attention, the loss of key business and/or personnel from the acquired company, unanticipated events, and legal liabilities. If the business becomes impaired, there could be partial or full write-offs attributed to the acquisition.
4
Competition.
There are many web portals in the market today and cultures created via AOL, Time Warner, Mania TV, My Space, Facebook and others. We believe our approach is different and will create efficiencies in the distribution model for the end user.
Future capital requirements; uncertainty of future funding.
Our plan of operation calls for additional capital to facilitate growth and support our long-term development and acquisition strategy marketing programs. We will have to seek additional financing through future public or private sales of our securities, including equity securities. We may also seek funding for the development and acquisitions marketing of our products through strategic partnerships and other arrangements with investment partners. There can be no assurance, however, that such collaborative arrangements or additional funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any such additional financing may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available we may be required to curtail one or more of our future programs.
There is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern.
We expect to incur significant capital expenses in pursuing our development and acquisition strategy plans to increase sales volume, expanding our product lines and obtaining additional financing through stock
offerings, or licensing agreements or other feasible financing alternatives. In order for us to continue our operations, we will require additional funds over the next 12 months. While we hope we will be able to generate funds necessary to maintain our operations, without additional funds there will be a limitation to the number of new projects that we could take on, which may have an effect on our ability to maintain our operations. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional funds are not available, we may not be able to execute our business model plan or take advantage of business opportunities. Our ability to obtain such additional financing and to achieve our operating goals is uncertain. In the event that we do not obtain additional capital or are not able to increase cash flow through the increase of in revenues, there is a substantial doubt of our being able to continue as a going conce rn.
Additionally, it should be noted that our independent auditors have included a going concern opinion and related discussion in the notes to our financial statements. The auditors have included the going concern provision because we have incurred significant and recurring losses and have a large working capital deficit that the auditors believe raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Until such time we receive additional debt or equity financing, there is a risk that our auditors will continue to include a going concern provision in the notes to our financial statements.
Dependence on key employee(s).
Our business is dependent upon our senior executive officer, Larry Wilcox. Mr. Wilcox understands the Digital distribution hub arena and has positioned us to offer some key vertical services to a Digital City. In the event of future growth in administration, marketing, manufacturing and customer support functions, we will need to increase the depth and experience of our management team by adding new members. Our success will depend to a large degree upon the active participation of future key officers and employees. Loss of services of Mr. Wilcox as he is the author of the Digital City vision and his absence could have a significant adverse effect on our direction, the necessary chronology, operations and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to employ qualified persons on acceptable terms to replace officers who become unavailable notwithstanding the capital infusion requirements for the company and it’s future.
5
Need for additional specialized personnel
Although we are committed to the continued development and growth of our business, the addition of specialized key personnel and sales persons to assist us in the execution of our business model is essential. There can be no assurance that we will be able to locate and hire such specialized personnel on acceptable terms.
Dependence on ability to market services.
Due to our limited resources, the execution of our business model and sales and marketing of our services has been limited to date. Our success is dependent upon our ability to execute with such limited resources.
No Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights.
We currently have a patent with the benefits tied to a debit card and have a trademark with the Africard. We do not currently own any other patents, copyrights or trademarks with respect to any of our intellectual properties. Therefore, we have no assurance that we can protect our intellectual properties from infringement by others. Further, in the event that any of our competitors are able to secure intellectual property rights protection on properties that we possess, we might be precluded from using any such intellectual property.
Terrorism.
Terrorist acts or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to or business or business strategy, which could adversely impact revenues, ability to do acquisitions, and financial condition.
Risks Related to our Stock.
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE NECESSARY ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL AND OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Because we are a growing company, we need to secure adequate funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding, we may not be able to successfully develop and market our products and services and our business will most likely fail. We do not have commitments for additional financing. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities, which may reduce the value of our outstanding securities. We may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all.
Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders
If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.
Our common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you pay for the shares.
Because of the limited trading market for our common stock, and because of the possible price volatility, investors may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. During 2004 and 2005, and through the date of this Annual Report, our common stock was sold and purchased at prices that ranged from a high of $0.65 to a low of $0.05 per share. The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity since the price for our common stock may suffer greater declines due to its price volatility.
6
Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the following:
| | |
| - | Variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| | |
| - | The development of a market in general for our products and services; |
| | |
| - | Changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| | |
| - | Announcement by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| | |
| - | Loss of a major customer or failure to complete significant transactions; |
| | |
| - | Additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| | |
| - | Fluctuations in stock market price and volume. |
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the OTC Bulletin Board in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company.
Market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
Over the past few months, there have been periods of significant increases in trading volume of our common stock during which the price of our stock has both increased and decreased. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this Annual Report does not necessarily portend what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future.
Moreover, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of the common stock of those companies. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
Our directors have the right to authorize the issuance of preferred stock and additional shares of our common stock.
Our directors, within the limitations and restrictions contained in our articles of incorporation and without further action by our stockholders, have the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series. We have no intention of issuing preferred stock at the present time. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock.
We currently have authorized and issued Series A preferred stock which entitled the holder of each share to 60 votes on each matter that may come before a meeting of the common stockholders. Consequently, it is possible for the holders of our Series A preferred stock to exercise a disproportionate control in voting rights. Subsequent series of our preferred stock could have similar or additional voting control provisions.
Should we issue additional shares of our common stock at a later time, each investor's ownership interest in our common stock would be proportionally reduced. No investor will have any preemptive right to acquire additional shares of our common stock, or any of our other securities.
7
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed
from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Inasmuch as that the current bid and ask price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our shares are classified as "penny stock" under the rules of the SEC. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
| | |
| - | That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
| | |
| - | The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
| | |
| - | Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
| | |
| - | Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
| | |
| - | Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and- That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, and in future filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements." We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect our actual results and could cause our actual
financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement: (i) the extremely competitive conditions that currently exist in the market for "blank check" companies similar to us, and (ii) lack of resources to maintain our good standing status and requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive and we disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

The reduction is primarily attributable to the elimination of unprofitable business.
Interest Expense. We incurred $0 of interest expense during the 12 months ended July 31, 2008, compared to interest expense of $3,601 incurred during the 12 months ended July 31, 2007.
Net Income (Loss). Our net loss for the 12 months ended July 31, 2008 was 314,013 , compared to a net loss of $220,471 for the year ended July 31, 2007. The improvement of net income was due primarily to the elimination of unprofitable business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of July 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $314,013. We generated a deficit in cash flow from operations of (314,013) for the 12 months ended July 31, 2008. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities for the period was primarily attributable to the consolidation of corporate functions.
We met our cash requirements during the period through proceeds from a long-term debt obligation.
We estimate our business operational expenses during the next 12 months will be approximately $500,000.
While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing in the form of equity in order to provide necessary working capital. We currently have no commitments for financing. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds required.
Without additional funding, we believe we do not have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits through the next 12 months. However, if thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
Capital Expenditures and Commitments. We do not anticipate the sale of any material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months. Without substantial financial resources we do not anticipate the acquisition of any material property, plant or equipment during the next 12 months.
Our independent auditor's report on our July 31, 2008 financial statements included in this Annual Report states that our lack of sources of revenues raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, impairment of marketing rights and accounting for legal contingencies.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
We evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.
Our business is more fully described in Part I of this Annual Report.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company is currently working with various entities to attempt either an acquisition or merger. We will bring in the globalweb.tv as part of the company and we are in negotiations with Tri Star Holdings Inc to acquire their gold, silver, copper and platinum mining assets.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

| | |
| 2. | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and |
| | |
| 3. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principle executive and principle financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principle executive/financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal controls, which are included within disclosure controls and procedures, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
Board of Directors
UC Hub Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of UC Hub Group, Inc as of July 31, 2008 and the related statements of losses, deficiency in stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UC Hub Group Inc. as at July 31, 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations, statements of stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
UC Hub Group Inc. ("Company" or "UC Hub") was formed on February 22, 1999 under the laws of the State of California.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
UC Hub is a communications software development and distribution company with primary interests in digital communications and digitally based products and services necessary to support the corporate vision of the "Digital City."
LIQUIDITY
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of 314,013 and 220,471 during the twelve months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $ 3,234,265 as of July 31, 2008 (see Note B).
ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when earned in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101").
On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair values due to short maturities of these instruments.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (SFAS 109) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between 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. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
F-7
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior years' financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally three to five years, or the term of the lease, if shorter, for leasehold improvements.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"). SFAS establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment.
F-8
NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted earnings per share because they are either anti-dilutive, or their effect is not material.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock option plans. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No.123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 which are included in Note 17. The Company has also adopted the annual
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended July 31, 2002 and for the subsequent periods.
Had compensation cost for the Plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common and common equivalent share for the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
| | | | | | | |
| | July 31, | |
| | 2,008 | | 2,007 | |
Net Loss, as reported | | | (314,013 | ) | | (220,471 | ) |
Add: Total stock based employee compensation | | | | | | | |
compensation expense determined under fair | | | | | | | |
market value based method for all awards | | | - | | | - | |
| | | | | | | |
Pro forma net loss | | | (314,013 | ) | | (220,471 | ) |
| | | | | | | |
Earnings per share: | | | | | | | |
Basic and diluted loss per share: | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
As reported | | | (0.01 | ) | | (0.03 | ) |
| | | | | | | |
Pro forma | | | (0.01 | ) | | (0.03 | ) |
In accordance with EITF 96-18 the measurement date to determine fair value was the date at which a commitment for performance by the counter party to earn the equity instrument was reached. The Company valued the shares issued for consulting services at the rate which represents the fair value of the services received which did not differ materially from the value of the stock issued.
F-9
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of July 31, 2008.
ADVERTISING
The Company follows a policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $0 and $7,495 during the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 150-03, which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No . 150 for all mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150's measurement guidance for other types of mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP No. 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions And Other Postretirement Benefits." This pronouncement, SFAS No. 132-R, expands employers' disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88, and No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign plans for qu arters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2006. Since the Company does not have any defined benefit post-retirement plans, the adoption of this pronouncement did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Other significant recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC are discussed elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, significant recent accounting pronouncements did not or will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs* an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that "under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges" This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal." In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inv entory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions*an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" ("SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental
F-10
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which ma y materially impact the Company's results of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and thereafter.
On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions (" SFAS 153"). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a non-monetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2006. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE B - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements during the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred losses of (314,013) and (220,471) respectively. In addition, the Company has a stockholder's deficit of (19,262,492). These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to becoming a public entity so that capital financing may be achieved. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In order to improve the Company's liquidity, the Company's management is actively pursing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.
NOTE C – MARKETABLE SECURITIES
On April 10, 2006 we sold our wholly owned subsidiary eSafe, Inc. to PSPP Holdings, Inc., and received 22,890,936 restricted shares of their common stock. Subsequent to this event PSPP began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. As of FYE 7/31/2007 the value per shares was $.63 cents per share. The value if unrestricted and sold at the per-share price on 7/31/2007 would have been $14,421,290. However as these shares are restricted and therefore the actual amount that the Company could receive is unknown, the Company has valued this asset at only 30% of the quoted amount for the year ended July 31, 2007. In 2008 the transaction involving eSafe was rescinded..

| | | | |
Less accumulated depreciation | | | | |

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.
At July 31, 2008, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately that may be used to offset future taxable income. In the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized based upon the earnings history of the Company.
