Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this annual report before investing in our common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES AND THIS REGISTRATION
We have issued a substantial number of securities convertible into shares of our common stock which will result in substantial dilution to the ownership interests of our existing stockholder.
As of April 9, 2007, approximately 440 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise or conversion of the following securities: (i) 340 million shares representing shares of common stock issuable upon conversion in part of the outstanding convertible debentures issued and issuable pursuant to that Subscription Agreement dated as of March 22, 2007 (without regard to any limitations on conversion); and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of in full of the warrants issued to the holders of the convertible debentures issued pursuant to that Subscription Agreement dated as of March 22, 2007 (without regard to any limitations on exercise). The convertible debentures have a variable conversion price based upon the trading price of our common stock, with a floor conversion of $0.001 per share. If the entire $3 million convertible note was converted at the floor conversion price, we would be obligated to issue 3 billion shares of common stock.
The exercise or conversion of these securities will result in a significant increase in the number of outstanding shares and substantially dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.
Our convertible debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at a discount to market price. Most of these shares are eligible for public resale. The trading price of our common stock and our ability to raise additional financing may be adversely affected by the influx into the market of such a substantial number of shares.
Our outstanding convertible debentures are presently convertible into approximately 400 million shares of common stock at a per share conversion price (based upon a 25% discount to market price at time of conversion) of approximately $0.0075 (based on a April 9, 2007 closing price of 0.01) which is less than the current trading price of our shares. Although many of the shares issuable upon conversion of our convertible warrants are eligible for public resale under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144, we have agreed to file a registration statement to cover the public resale of all of these shares. This significant increase in number of shares available for public sale may have a negative impact on the trading price of our shares and substantially dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders. In order to raise additional financing we would likely be required to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a purchase or conversion price as applicable, on similar terms. To the extent these factors are viewed negatively by the market, it may provide an incentive for persons to execute short sales of our common stock that could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Our recent financing requires a registration statement to become effective within 90 days after the filing deadline of April 16, 2007 and if this fails to happen we will incur liquidated damages.
We recently received financing from an accredited investor pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated March 22, 2007. Such financing requires us to file a registration statement and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 90 days of the filing deadline of April 16, 2007. If such registration statement is not declared effective by July16, 2007, we begin incurring liquidated damages equal to 2% of the principal of the promissory notes issued for each 30 day period that this registration statement is not declared effective after July 16, 2007.
The conversion price of the debentures based on our recent financing is based on an average of our closing bid price of our intra day trading prices of our common stock over a certain period of time prior to conversion and the decrease of the intra day trading price will result in issuance of a significant increase of shares resulting in dilution to our shareholders.
The conversion price of the debentures in our recent financing is equal to the lesser of (i) .075 and (ii) 75% of the lowest bid price for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading day period prior to conversion but in no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.001 per share. The price of our common shares may fluctuate and the lower intra-day trading price in the future, will result in a conversion ratio resulting in issuance of a significant amount of our common shares to the promissory note holders. This will result in our present shareholders being diluted.
5
Selling shareholders may impact our stock value through the execution of short sales which may decrease the value of our common stock.
Short sales are transactions in which a selling shareholder sells a security it does not own. To complete the transaction, a selling shareholder must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The selling shareholder is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be higher or lower than the price at which the security was sold by the selling shareholder. If the underlying security goes down in price between the time the selling shareholder sells our security and buys it back, the selling shareholder will realize a gain on the transaction. Conversely, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period, the selling shareholder will realize a loss on the transaction. The risk of such price increases is the principal risk of engaging in short sales. The selling shareholders in this registration statement could short the stock by borrowing and then selling our securities in the market, and then converting the stock through either the debenture or warrants at a discount to replace the security borrowed. Because the selling shareholders control a large portion of our common stock, the selling shareholders could have a large impact on the value of our stock if they were to engage in short selling of our stock. Such short selling could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of other shareholders.
Our common stock is deemed to be a “penny stock” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is deemed to be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are stock:
- With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
- That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
- Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system; or
- Of issuers with net tangible assets of less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for our shareholders to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our share price to decline.
We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings, if any, that may be generated from our operations will be used to finance our operations and that cash dividends will not be paid to holders of our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
As of December 31, 2006, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2006, our independent public accounting firm issued a “going concern opinion” wherein they stated that the accompanying financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, including a net loss of approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and has a substantial working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2006. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We may not have sufficient funds to operate our business and may not be able to obtain additional financing.
We have recently completed a financing which could ultimately result in $3 million gross proceeds to us. We expect these fund to be sufficient to carry out operations through at least fiscal 2007. However, if unanticipated expenses, problems, and difficulties occur which result in material delays in the development of our products, we will not be able to operate within our budget. If we do not operate within our budget, we will require additional funds to continue our business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay our plans for growth and implementation of our strategy which could seriously harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we need additional funds, we may seek to obtain them primarily through stock or debt financings. Those additional financings could result in dilution to our stockholder.
We may need to raise additional money before we achieve profitability; if we fail to raise additional money, it could be difficult to continue our business.
Based on our current plans, we believe that we have sufficient financial resources to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements for fiscal 2007. If we plan to expand our operations to manufacture and market additional products or services or if we make material acquisitions, we will need to obtain additional funds. We may seek additional funding through public or private financing or through collaborative arrangements with strategic partners.
You should be aware that in the future:
· | we may not obtain additional financial resources when necessary or on terms favorable to us, if at all; and |
· | any available additional financing may not be adequate. |
If we cannot raise additional funds when needed, or on acceptable terms, we will not be able to continue to expand our operations or develop and manufacture our products.
Our business can be hurt by an economic downturn.
Our business is affected by a number of economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate. A decline in economic activity in the United States could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations. Sales in the commercial and industrial new construction markets correlate closely to the number of new homes and buildings that are built, which in turn is influenced by cyclical factors such as interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits, employment rates and other macroeconomic factors over which we have no control. In the HVAC business, a decline in economic activity as a result of these cyclical or other factors typically results in a decline in new construction and replacement purchases, which would result in a decrease in our sales volume and profitability.
We may be adversely affected by problems in the availability, or increases in the prices, of raw materials and components.
Problems in the availability, or increases in the prices, of raw materials or components could depress our sales or increase the costs of our products. We are dependent upon components purchased from third parties, as well as raw materials such as steel, copper and aluminum. We enter into cancelable contracts on terms from six months to one year for raw materials and components at fixed prices. However, if a key supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our supply requirements, we could experience supply interruptions or cost increases, either of which could have an adverse effect on our gross profit.
7
We may need to develop manufacturing capacity for our existing and future products, which will increase our expenses.
We have evaluated in the past, and continue to evaluate, the feasibility of acquiring manufacturing capabilities to support the production of our products. These facilities may be required to meet the production capacities required to produce such products for commercial sale at an acceptable cost. We have not manufactured these products in the past. Developing these capabilities and building or purchasing a facility will increase our expenses with no guarantee that we will be able to recover our investment in our manufacturing capabilities.
We depend heavily on key personnel, and loss of the services of one or more of our key executives or a significant portion of any prospective local management personnel could weaken our management team adversely affecting our operations.
Our success largely depends on the skills, experience and efforts of our senior management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Wilbert H. Marmion, III. Our operations will also be dependent on the efforts, ability and experience of key members of our prospective local management staff. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management or of a significant portion of any of our local management staff could weaken significantly our management expertise and our ability to deliver health care services efficiently. We do not maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our officers, although we intend to obtain such insurance policies in the future.
Because stock ownership is concentrated, you and other investors will have minimal influence on stockholder’ decisions.
Assuming that issued and outstanding warrants and options for our common stock have not been exercised, one of our shareholders controls in excess of 90% of our outstanding voting rights as of March 27, 2007. Pursuant to their terms each share of our series A preferred stock is and each share of series B preferred stock are entitled to that number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A and series B preferred stock held by them. As such, Wilbert Marmion, our sole preferred stockholder, holds voting rights equal to approximately 3.4 billion shares of common stock based on his holdings of series A and series B preferred stock. As a result our executive officers may be able to significantly influence the management of the company and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.
We rely on a few large customers.
While we consider our relationships with our customers to be satisfactory, given the concentration of our sales to a few key customers, our continued relationships may be subject to the policies and practices of the customers. We continue to concentrate our efforts on expanding our customer base in order to reduce our reliance on our current customers.
We may not be able to compete favorably in the highly competitive HVAC business.
Competition in our various markets could cause us to reduce our prices or lose market share, or could negatively affect our cash flow, which could have an adverse effect on our future financial results. Substantially all of the markets in which we participate are highly competitive. The most significant competitive factors we face are product reliability, product performance, service and price, with the relative importance of these factors varying among our product line. Other factors that affect competition in the HVAC market include the development and application of new technologies and an increasing emphasis on the development of more efficient HVAC products. Moreover, new product introductions are an important factor in the market categories in which our products compete. Several of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have, allowing them to invest in more extensive research and development. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competition and current and future competitive pressures faced by us may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
8
Our quarterly results are subject to fluctuation.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including the demand for our services, seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount and timing of capital expenditures; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions, and economic conditions specific to our industry. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Particularly at our early stage of development, occurrences such as accounting treatment can have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results will fall below our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
We have no independent directors.
We cannot guarantee that our board of directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between us and our stockholder generally and the controlling officers, stockholder or directors.
We have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers.
Our officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in our management affairs. Our bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes provide, however, that our officers and directors shall have no liability to our stockholder for losses sustained or liabilities incurred which arise from any transaction in their respective managerial capacities unless they violated their duty of loyalty, did not act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated the law, approved an improper dividend or stock repurchase, or derived an improper benefit from the transaction. Our bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes also provide for the indemnification by us of the officers and directors against any losses or liabilities they may incur as a result of the manner in which they operate our business or conduct the internal affairs, provided that in connection with these activities they act in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and their conduct does not constitute gross negligence, misconduct or breach of fiduciary obligations.
We may not manage growth effectively.
We may experience rapid growth which will place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, and financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth, we must continue to implement and improve our financial strength and our operational systems, and expand, train and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our expanded operations. Our inability to effectively manage our future growth would have a material adverse effect on us.
Substantial sales of our stock may impact the market price of our common stock.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares that we may issue upon exercise of options and warrants, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Further, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, the percentage ownership of our stockholder will be reduced and the price of our common stock may fall.
The marketability and profitability of our products is subject to unknown economic conditions.
The marketability and profitability of our products may be adversely affected by local, regional, national and international economic conditions beyond our control and/or the control of our management. Favorable changes may not necessarily enhance the marketability or profitability of the products. Even under the most favorable marketing conditions, there is no guarantee that our products can be sold or, if sold, that such sale will be made upon favorable prices and terms.
9
Any projections used in this prospectus may not be accurate.
Any and all projections and estimates contained in this annual report or otherwise prepared by us are based on information and assumptions which management believes to be accurate; however, they are mere projections and no assurance can be given that actual performance will match or approximate the projections.
Issuing preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock could adversely affect holders of common stock.
Our charter documents give our board of directors the authority to issue series of preferred stock without a vote or action by our stockholder. The board also has the authority to determine the terms of preferred stock, including price, preferences and voting rights. The rights granted to holders of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock. For example, a series of preferred stock may be granted the right to receive a liquidation preference - a pre-set distribution in the event of a liquidation - that would reduce the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. As a result, common stockholder could be prevented from participating in transactions that would offer an optimal price for their shares.
10
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of our common stock by the selling stockholder.
Dilution
As of December 31, 2006, our total liabilities exceeded our total tangible assets, giving rise to a negative net tangible book value of $653,734. In connection with our issuance of a $3 million convertible debenture, which $750,000 was received in March and the balance $2,250,000 to be received after the filing of this registration statement (See “Description of Securities—March 2007 Private Placement”), we will recognize $2.6 million of equity which was allocated as such due to the beneficial conversion feature of the debenture and the 100,000,000 detachable warrants issued in connection therewith. This $2.6 million for the beneficial conversion feature and detachable warrants will be expensed over the term of the debenture, while compensating for the repayment terms of the debenture for the interest expense incurred. You may experience substantial dilution as a result of the March 2007 financing transaction, as well as if we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity and/or convertible securities.
As a result of the March 2007 financing, the selling stockholder may convert the shares underlying the debenture and exercise the shares underlying the related warrant, into shares of the our common Stock. As Dutchess converts or exercises such shares into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such conversion or exercise will dilute the current percentage ownership of our existing shareholders. The conversion price of the debenture issued in the March 2007 financing fluctuates at a substantial percentage discount (25%) to fluctuating market prices with an absolute floor conversion price of $0.001. As a result, the number of shares issuable to the selling stockholder, upon full conversion of the debenture at the floor conversion price (not including interest) would be 3 billion shares and thus the selling stockholder’s potential ownership of our common stock could substantially dilute the current shareholders ownership in the our common stock.
Upon the selling stockholder conversion of the shares underlying the Debenture and the exercise of the related warrant into shares of our common stock, the current shareholders will experience substantial dilution of their current percentage ownership.
The following table shows the combined effect that various declines and increases in the current market price would have with respect to the floating conversion rate of the debenture. The current market price is based on the most recent trading price at April 9, 2007. The second column, pertaining to the debenture conversion price is calculated either at 75% of the decreased or increased current market price, or calculated at the maximum conversion price of $.075 or the floor conversion price of $.001.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “MMIO.” The following table shows the high and low bid prices for our common stock for each quarter since January 1, 2005 as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. All share prices have been adjusted to provide for the 1-for-500 reverse stock split which was effected on November 19, 2004, the 1-for-1000 reverse stock split which was effected on March 17, 2005 and the 1 for 100 reverse stock split which was effected on January 26, 2006. We consider our stock to be “thinly traded” and any reported sale prices may not be a true market-based valuation of the stock. Some of the bid quotations from the OTC Bulletin Board set forth below may reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

As of March 29, 2007, there were approximately 163 record holders of our common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends since our inception and do not contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that earnings, if any, will be retained to retire debt and for the operation of the business.
Shares eligible for future sale could depress the price of our common stock, thus lowering the value of a buyer’s investment. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for shares of our common stock.
Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which can lead to significant volatility in the price and volume of our stock. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many smaller public companies for reasons unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Plan of Distribution
We are registering 15,900,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture dated March 22, 2007 to permit resale of the shares of common stock by the holder of the convertible debenture from time to time after the date of this prospectus. Such shares of common stock are not outstanding, but the selling stockholder beneficially owns the underlying shares because the convertible debenture can be converted at the selling stockholder’s election. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the common stock is sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
(1) on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale,
(2) the over-the-counter market,
(3) in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market,
(4) through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, or
(5) through the settlement of short sales.
If the selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers-dealers or agents may be in
excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions, provided that the short sale is made after the registration statement is declared effective and a copy of this prospectus is delivered in connection with the short sale. The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offers and sells the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to the prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of the prospectus.
The selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
14
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement estimated to be $41,000 in total, including, without limitation, Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that the selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. In connection with sales made pursuant to this prospectus, we will indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement or we will be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

General
Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, we have entered the business of manufacturing and marketing of the explosion proof air conditioners, refrigeration systems, chemical filtration systems and building pressurizers. This entry was effected by Mr. Wilbert H. Marmion’s, our key officer and director, contribution to us of his controlling interest in Marmion Investments, Inc., (d/b/a Marmion Air Service), a Texas corporation. The explosion-proof market encompasses industries including: oil and gas exploration and production, chemical plants, granaries and fuel storage depots. We believe there is significant demand for these systems in any area where sensitive computer systems and analysis equipment is located. We also provide residential and commercial HVAC service in Texas, as well as specialty service to Fortune 500 clients.
Our executive offices are located at 9103 Emmott Road, Building 6, Suite A, Houston, Texas, 77040 and telephone number (713) 466-6585. We maintain a website at www.marmionair.com.
Current Business Plan
We manufacture and modify heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment for the petrochemical industry specifically for hazardous location applications. We custom engineer special systems for strategic industrial environments. Additionally we perform new commercial HVAC construction services currently in the Houston, Texas area.
We currently target refinery and chemical plants service companies that build analyzer shelters, controls centers and computer rooms in corrosive or hazardous locations on our industrial side. Commercially we are emerging into the new HVAC construction market to take advantage of the constant new development taking place in the Houston area.
With the demand for oil and the price constantly in today's market, our position in this industry is poised to take advantage of the increasing boom in petroleum expansion taking place both here in the national market as well as the international markets emerging in Mexico, the Middle East and South America. We foresee the next cycle of renovation and new construction in the commercial market, and population expansion currently taking place in the gulf-coast area to continue long into the future.
In November of 2004 our State of Texas Air Conditioning Contractor’s License for Marmion Air Service (TACLA019367C) was upgraded to ”A” status allows us to sell air conditioners to unlimited tonnages, as opposed to the “B” license which limited us to sell equipment up to 20 tons. In October 2005, we received our Mechanical and Sheet Metal Contractor License in the State of Louisiana (Lic. No. 44001) allowing us to perform projects in that State.

Marmion Industries Corp. began eight years ago as a HVAC company in Beaumont, Texas. We then moved to Houston to take advantage of the accessibility to a larger market in and around the Houston area. Marmion Industries Corp. has always been owned and operated by W. H. Marmion and Ellen Raidl Marmion, who are husband and wife. In the first few years we acquired an agreement with Nextel Corporation to provide service and replacement of HVAC machines across southern Texas. This enabled Marmion to grow at a rapid pace as we completed Nextel's 3-G upgrade in 2000 and generated $1.1 million in gross revenues. In early 2001 Marmion began building industrial grade machines and providing them to petrochemical customers in the Houston area. At that time Nextel began tightening their services budgets due to the low price of their stock and approached us to reduce our pricing to a rate below our cost factor. As a result, we terminated our contract with Nextel and made a strategic decision to concentrate on the Industrial markets and develop our line of explosion-proof machines as our core business. We developed and refined our product line and continued to market to a growing list of customers primarily in the Houston area. Our alliance with a major wall mount air conditioner manufacturer Marvair, a subsidiary of AHI Holding, Inc., allowed us to gain a substantial market share in the industrial market as a reseller of Marvair products to two large national building manufacturers.
We believe that diversification is a key factor to maintain market share in the industrial and commercial markets. Accordingly, in 2004 we began making plans to open a commercial division and hired personnel to bid and supervise commercial projects. We have opened our commercial division and have successfully completed several projects for customers such as Houston Independent School District, City of Clute Texas, State of Texas Parks and Recreation. As of the date of this report, we are currently completing two projects for the Pasadena Independent School District in Pasadena, Texas and midway through two additional projects for the Houston Independent School District. Until 2003 we operated as an S corporation and in 2003 converted to C corp. in anticipation of accessing the public markets to enable us to raise capital to grow our business. Today Marmion has ten full time employees and depending on the commercial projects undertaken as many or more subcontractors to accomplish our business objectives.
One of our challenges continues to be our ability to attract and keep excellent employees to accomplish our business objectives. This challenge is highlighted due to the fact that we do not offer any type of benefits program to our employees. Cash flow has and remains a major challenge due to the fact that we are outgrowing our receivables and increasing our growth rate beyond 30 percent annually. Our customers normally pay on 45 to 60 day intervals and our suppliers bill us on 30 day terms. We need larger facilities and equipment to increase profitability and meet increasing demand and we are currently seeking new facilities and/or property to erect facilities. We have generally outsourced 5% of our manufacturing. In November 2005, we acquired several pieces metal manufacturing equipment which has allowed us to reduce our outsourcing needs. This new equipment will allow us to take on a diversified work load, which could increase our profitability.
Our long-term plans for growth include continued expansion of our industrial base into Louisiana and abroad. We have recently started servicing the commercial market in the Houston area and have obtained the necessary licenses in Louisiana and have begun bidding on commercial projects in that area as well. We believe that, with right personnel and growth capital, we can grow our industrial and commercial division over the next two years.
We have acquired third party certification (ETL Certification) for the wallmount line for our products and have begun the process of getting our hazardous location package units as well as our pressurizers certified as well. These third parties certify our hazardous location equipment, saying it is indeed explosion-proof on our industrial line of equipment which will enable us to bid on new jobs and we believe the certification will allow us to be successful on our bids\. Because of third party certification, we will now be able to be listed as an “approved supplier/provider” for large multi-national petrochemical company’s specifications, as some large oil companies will spec in the company A/C’s they want. Normally they will require a UL/CSA listing or another third party certification from their suppliers/providers This will allow us to increase our profit margin on the certified equipment. We are currently educating engineering companies in Houston of the options now available to them and their customers.
By attracting and keeping better employees and retaining our current ones we believe that we can maintain our current growth rate over the next 3-5 years.

Basis of Presentation
The results of operations set forth below for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are those of the continuing operations of Marmion Industries Corp.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain selected financial data from continuing operations:
Year Ended December 31, | |||||||
2006 | 2005 | ||||||
Revenues | $ | 4,613,282 | $ | 2,491,736 | |||
Cost of Sales | 3,721,102 | 1,982,053 | |||||
Gross Margin | 892,180 | 509,683 | |||||
Salaries and employee benefits | 551,626 | 382,920 | |||||
General and administrative (included is equity based compensation of $893,236 and $1,985,043, respectively) | 1,447,935 | 2,352,867 | |||||
Depreciation and amortization | 32,912 | 31,584 | |||||
Loss from Operations | $ | (1,140,293 | ) | $ | (2,257,688 | ) |
Revenues. Our revenues increased to $4,613,282, an increase of approximately 85%, for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $2,491,736 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to the award of several large commercial projects.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased to $3,721,102, an increase of approximately 88%, for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $1,982,053 for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales increased to approximately 81% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, versus approximately 80% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues resulted primarily from new quality and purchasing controls, as well as performing more commercial projects which realizes a 7% to 10% margin. The company generated a gross margin of $892,180, or approximately 19%, for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a gross profit margin of $509,683, or approximately 20%, for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $551,626, or an increase of approximately 44% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $382,920 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable primarily to the hiring of 3 new administrative employees.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,447,935 for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $2,352,867 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Included in general and administrative expense is equity based compensation expense of $893,236 and $1,985,043 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were approximately 31% for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to approximately 94% for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily results from decreased stock issued to consultants in connection with our research and business development activities, offset by expanding operations requiring additional square footage and normal economic increases.
18
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $32,912 for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $31,584 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Loss from operations. We incurred an operating loss of $1,140,293 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to an operating loss of $2,257,688 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The company had lower operating losses in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the prior year primarily because of a decrease in administrative expenses, and equity based compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations, acquisitions, debt service, and capital requirements through cash flows generated from operations, debt financing, and issuance of securities. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2006 was $720,574, and at December 31, 2005 it was $613,149. We had cash of $1,785 at December 31, 2006, compared to having cash of $22,774 at December 31, 2005.
Our operating activities used $316,343 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to using $666,189 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Net cash flows used by investing activities was $8,712 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $63,107 for the year ended December 31, 2005. These cash flows were related to the purchase of property and equipment, net of $46,500 in proceeds from sale of property and equipment in the year ended December 31, 2005.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $304,066 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $726,478 in the year ended December 31, 2005.
We have recently completed a financing (See March 2007 Private Offering below) through our sale of convertible promissory notes and related warrants. Pursuant to such offering, we have received gross proceeds of $750,000 and will receive an additional $2,250,000 in gross proceeds upon filing of a registration statement related to such offering which we expect to file on or before April 16, 2007. We expect these proceeds to be sufficient to fund our operations through December 2007. In the event we seek to expand our operations or launch new products for sale into the marketplace, or in the event we seek to acquire a company or business or business opportunity, or in the event that our cash flows from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements, we would need to finance our operations through additional debt or equity financing, in the form of a private placement or a public offering, a strategic alliance, or a joint venture. Such additional financing, alliances, or joint venture opportunities might not be available to us, when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms under such circumstances, our operating results and prospects could be adversely affected. In addition, any debt financings or significant capital expenditures require the written consent of our lender under the March private placement.
Our working capital is not sufficient to meet our obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
March 2007 Private Offering
On March 22, 2007, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with a single accredited investor pursuant to which we agreed to issue up to $3,000,000 of principal amount of convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Purchase Agreement”). The convertible debenture has a 5 year term and bears interest at twelve percent (12%). We are required to make “interest only” payments for the first six months following issuance. Beginning on the 7th month following issuance, we are required to make amortizing payments of principal plus interest in the amount equal to $224,375.41. If a registration statement is effective, this amount can be satisfied by conversion of the debenture. The notes are convertible into our common stock pursuant to a “variable conversion price” equal to the lesser of $0.075 and 75% of the lowest bid price for our common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion; provided, however, upon an event of default (as defined) this conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then current conversion price and 50% of the lowest bid price for the 15 trading days prior to conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.001 per share. In addition, upon an event of default (as defined) the holder can exercise its right to increase the face amount of the debenture by 10% for the first default and by 10% for each subsequent event of default. In addition, the Holder may else to increase the face amount by 2.5% per month paid as liquidated damages. The maximum amount that the face amount may be increased by holder for all defaults under the note and any other transaction document is 30%, The debenture is secured by a 1st lien on our assets, a guaranty by our subsidiary and a pledge of 4 million shares of Mr. Marmion’s series B preferred stock

Under the terms of the debenture and the related warrants, the debenture and the warrants are convertible/exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such securities, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates (but not including shares of common stock underlying unconverted shares of the note or unexercised portions of the warrants) would not exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth therein, the debenture is redeemable by us at a rate of between 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus interest. In addition, so long as the average daily price of our common stock is below the “initial market price” (as defined) we may prepay such monthly portion due on the outstanding notes and the investors agree that no conversions will take place during such month where this option is exercised by us.
The debenture was issued with warrants to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment. To the extent that the shares of common stock underlying the warrant of not registered for resale, the warrant holder may designate a "cashless exercise option." This option entitles the warrant holders to elect to receive fewer shares of common stock without paying the cash exercise price. The number of shares to be determined by a formula based on the total number of shares to which the warrant holder is entitled, the current market value of the common stock and the applicable exercise price of the warrant.
We agreed to register the secondary offering and resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debenture and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants by April 16, 2007.
We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the debenture and the warrants.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $88,463 and $24,914, respectively. Management considers this allowance adequate to cover probable future losses due to uncollectible trade receivables.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. These criteria are generally met at the time product is shipped or services are performed. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
20
The Company from time to time may enter into a long term construction project, which such services may be performed over a few months. The Company records such revenues from long term contracts on a percentage of completion basis. At each report date an evaluation is made to determine if there is a loss contingency to record for such long term contracts. There were no such long term contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, there were six long term contracts outstanding. The Company recorded $27,836 and $198,552 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, respectively, at December 31, 2006 in regard to these contracts.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and Disclosure. This statement amends SFAS No. 123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, providing alternative methods of voluntarily transitioning to the fair market value based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure of the method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method in both the annual and interim financial statements. The provisions of this statement related to transition methods are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, while provisions related to disclosure requirements are effective in financial reports for interim periods beginning after December 31, 2002.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment ("SBP") awards, including shares issued under certain employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No.123R will require the Company to expense SBP awards with compensation cost for SBP transactions measured at fair value. The FASB originally stated a preference for a lattice model because it believed that a lattice model more fully captures the unique characteristics of employee stock options in the estimate of fair value, as compared to the Black-Scholes model which the Company currently uses for its footnote disclosure. The FASB decided to remove its explicit preference for a lattice model and not require a particular valuation methodology. SFAS No. 123R requires us to adopt the new accounting provisions beginning in our first quarter of 2006. We do not expect a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, as we do not intend to issue employee stock options in the near future.
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES
As part of the process of preparing our financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes. Management judgment is required in determining a provision of our deferred tax asset. We recorded a valuation for the full-deferred tax asset from our net operating losses carried forward due to the Company not demonstrating any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust such valuation recorded.
GOING CONCERN
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has had negative working capital for each of the least two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company has incurred significant losses for these years and has a negative working capital position. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, which is an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement; a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, b) clarifies which interest-only strip and principal-only strip are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, e) amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
21
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, which amends FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement establishes, among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends Statement 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. By electing that option, an entity may simplify its accounting because this Statement permits income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of those servicing assets and servicing liabilities and derivative instruments in the same accounting period. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

Business
Our Company
We manufacture and market explosion-proof air conditioners, refrigeration systems, chemical filtration systems and building pressurizers as well as provide air conditional and services for the commercial sector. Our executive office is located at 9103 Emmott Road, Building 6, Suite A, Houston, Texas, 77040, telephone number (713) 466-6585. We maintain a website at www.marmionair.com
Our Business
Corporate History
We were formed in Florida on September 5, 1996 under the name Fairbanks, Inc. On April 18, 1997, we changed our name to Jet Vacation, Inc. On May 11, 1998 we changed our name to Precom Technology, Inc. On October 12, 2002 we again changed our name, this time to International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.
Prior to 2002, we were a blind pool whose sole business plan and direction was to identify and merge with an operating business. During 2002 we entered into two separate transactions to acquire operating businesses. Both acquisitions proved not to be profitable and were terminated. During 2002 and 2003, we continued our efforts to identify and merge with an operating business and entered into several agreements and transactions to accomplish that goal.
On May 20, 2004, Wilbert H. Marmion, III our President and Chief Executive Officer, contributed all of his shares of common stock in Marmion Investments, Inc., a Texas corporation d/b/a Marmion Air Service, to us as a contribution to our capital. The shares contributed to us by Wilbert H. Marmion constitute one hundred percent of the issued and outstanding shares in Marmion Investments, Inc. As a result of the capital contribution by Mr. Marmion, Marmion Investments, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
In July of 2004, we completed a merger and change of our domicile from Florida to Nevada. We also changed our name from "International Trust and Financial Systems" to "Marmion Industries Corp.”
Current Business Plan
We manufacture and modify heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment for the petrochemical industry specifically for hazardous location applications. We custom engineer special systems for strategic industrial environments. Additionally we perform new commercial HVAC construction services currently in the Houston, Texas area.
We currently target refinery and chemical plants service companies that build analyzer shelters, controls centers and computer rooms in corrosive or hazardous locations on our industrial side. Commercially we are emerging into the new HVAC construction market to take advantage of the constant new development taking place in the Houston area.
With the demand for oil and the price constantly in today's market, our position in this industry is poised to take advantage of the increasing boom in petroleum expansion taking place both here in the national market as well as the international markets emerging in Mexico, the Middle East and South America. We foresee the next cycle of renovation and new construction in the commercial market, and population expansion currently taking place in the gulf-coast area to continue long into the future.
In November of 2004 our State of Texas Air Conditioning Contractor’s License for Marmion Air Service (TACLA019367C) was upgraded to ”A” status allows us to sell air conditioners to unlimited tonnages, as opposed to the “B” license which limited us to sell equipment up to 20 tons. In October 2005, we received our Mechanical and Sheet Metal Contractor License in the State of Louisiana (Lic. No. 44001) allowing us to perform projects in that State.
Marmion Industries Corp. began eight years ago as a HVAC company in Beaumont, Texas. We then moved to Houston to take advantage of the accessibility to a larger market in and around the Houston area. Marmion Industries Corp. has always been owned and operated by W. H. Marmion and Ellen Raidl Marmion, who are husband and wife. In the first few years we acquired an agreement with Nextel Corporation to provide service and replacement of HVAC machines across southern Texas. This enabled Marmion to grow at a rapid pace as we completed Nextel's 3-G upgrade in 2000 and generated $1.1 million in gross revenues. In early 2001 Marmion began building industrial grade machines and providing them to petrochemical customers in the Houston area. At that time Nextel began tightening their services budgets due to the low price of their stock and approached us to reduce our pricing to a rate below our cost factor. As a result, we terminated our contract with Nextel and made a strategic decision to concentrate on the Industrial markets and develop our line of explosion-proof machines as our core business. We developed and refined our product line and continued to market to a growing list of customers primarily in the Houston area. Our alliance with a major wall mount air conditioner manufacturer Marvair, a subsidiary of AHI Holding, Inc., allowed us to gain a substantial market share in the industrial market as a reseller of Marvair products to two large national building manufacturers.
23
We believe that diversification is a key factor to maintain market share in the industrial and commercial markets. Accordingly, in 2004 we began making plans to open a commercial division and hired personnel to bid and supervise commercial projects. We have opened our commercial division and have successfully completed several projects for customers such as Houston Independent School District, City of Clute Texas, State of Texas Parks and Recreation. As of the date of this report, we are currently completing two projects for the Pasadena Independent School District in Pasadena, Texas and midway through two additional projects for the Houston Independent School District. Until 2003 we operated as an S corporation and in 2003 converted to C corp. in anticipation of accessing the public markets to enable us to raise capital to grow our business. Today Marmion has ten full time employees and depending on the commercial projects undertaken as many or more subcontractors to accomplish our business objectives.
One of our challenges continues to be our ability to attract and keep excellent employees to accomplish our business objectives. This challenge is highlighted due to the fact that we do not offer any type of benefits program to our employees. Cash flow has and remains a major challenge due to the fact that we are outgrowing our receivables and increasing our growth rate beyond 30 percent annually. Our customers normally pay on 45 to 60 day intervals and our suppliers bill us on 30 day terms. We need larger facilities and equipment to increase profitability and meet increasing demand and we are currently seeking new facilities and/or property to erect facilities. We have generally outsourced 5% of our manufacturing. In November 2005, we acquired several pieces metal manufacturing equipment which has allowed us to reduce our outsourcing needs. This new equipment will allow us to take on a diversified work load, which could increase our profitability.
Our long-term plans for growth include continued expansion of our industrial base into Louisiana and abroad. We have recently started servicing the commercial market in the Houston area and have obtained the necessary licenses in Louisiana and have begun bidding on commercial projects in that area as well. We believe that, with right personnel and growth capital, we can grow our industrial and commercial division over the next two years.
We have acquired third party certification (ETL Certification) for the wallmount line for our products and have begun the process of getting our hazardous location package units as well as our pressurizers certified as well. These third parties certify our hazardous location equipment, saying it is indeed explosion-proof on our industrial line of equipment which will enable us to bid on new jobs and we believe the certification will allow us to be successful on our bids. Because of third party certification, we will now be able to be listed as an “approved supplier/provider” for large multi-national petrochemical company’s specifications, as some large oil companies will spec in the company A/C’s they want. Normally they will require a UL/CSA listing or another third party certification from their suppliers/providers This will allow us to increase our profit margin on the certified equipment. We are currently educating engineering companies in Houston of the options now available to them and their customers.
By attracting and keeping better employees and retaining our current ones we believe that we can maintain our current growth rate over the next 3-5 years.
Competition
As of December 31, 2006, we had four primary competitors to Marmion within the industry. All of these competitors are substantially larger and have greater resources than us. In the custom market, the Company competes with many larger and smaller manufacturers. We compete on the basis of total value, quality, function, serviceability, efficiency, availability of product, product line recognition and acceptability of sales outlet. However, in new construction where the contractor is the purchasing decision maker, we are often is at a competitive disadvantage on sales of its products because of the emphasis placed on initial cost; whereas, in the replacement market and other owner-controlled purchases, we have a better chance of getting the business since quality and long-term cost are generally taken into account.
24
Major Customers
Our three largest customer last year accounted for almost 70% of total sales in 2006, with our largest customer accounting for 34% of total sales. In order to diversify its customer base, we have added to and/or upgraded its sales representation in various markets. The loss of a significant portion of sales to any of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, many of the arrangements that we have with such customers are by purchase order and terminable at will at the option of either party. A significant decrease or interruption in businesses of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
The most important materials purchased by us are steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic suppliers. We also purchase from other domestic manufacturers certain components, including compressors, electric motors and electrical controls used in its products. We endeavor to obtain the lowest possible cost in its purchases of raw materials and components, consistent with meeting specified quality standards. We are not dependent upon any one source for its raw materials or the major components of its manufactured products. We reduced our reliance on our largest vendor to 24% from 50% in 2005. By having multiple suppliers, we believe that we will have adequate sources of supplies to meet its manufacturing requirements for the foreseeable future.
We attempt to limit the impact of increases in raw materials and purchased component prices on its profit margins by negotiating with each of its major suppliers on a term basis from six months to one year. However, in each of the last three years cost increases in basic commodities, such as steel, copper and aluminum, severely impacted profit margins.
Employees
We have 10 full-time employees as of March 27, 2007. As we grow, we will need to attract an unknown number of additional qualified employees. Although we have experienced no work stoppages and believe our relationships with our employees are good, we could be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining the persons needed. None of our employees are currently represented by a labor union.
Our Properties
Our principal offices are located at 9103 Emmott Road, Building 6, Suite A, Houston Texas 77040. We lease our offices and warehouse facilities under three operating lease which all expire on May 31, 2007. The monthly cost of the lease is $4,075.00. We are currently seeking new facilities and/or properties to erect new facilities.

Indemnification of Directors
Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to a proceeding, including any lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is being indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may also be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law.
The indemnification provisions in the Bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. However, we are aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore unenforceable.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On May 20, 2004, Wilbert H. Marmion, III, our President and Chief Executive Officer, contributed all of his shares of common stock in Marmion Investments, Inc., a Texas corporation d/b/a Marmion Air Service, to us as a contribution to our capital.

Selling Security Holders
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder identified below. Except as indicated below, none of the selling stockholder are or have been affiliates of ours.
The selling stockholder will determine when they will sell their shares, and in all cases, will sell their shares at the current market price or at negotiated prices at the time of the sale. Although we have agreed to pay the expenses related to the registration of the shares being offered, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by the selling stockholder.
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholder are issuable upon conversion of our convertible promissory notes issued pursuant to that Subscription Agreement dated as of March 22, 2007. For additional information regarding the convertible debenture, see “Description of Securities—Convertible Notes.” We are registering the shares in order to permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares of common stock for resale from time to time.
The following table sets forth (i) the names of the selling stockholder, (ii) the number of shares of common stock owned beneficially by each of them as of April 9, 2007, (iii) the number of shares which may be offered pursuant to this prospectus and (iv) the number of shares and percentage of class to be owned by the selling stockholder after this offering. The selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution." Pursuant to various agreements with the selling stockholder, we have filed a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, in order to permit such stockholder to resell to the public their shares of common stock as specifically set forth below. The following information is based upon information provided by the selling stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in the footnotes to the table, none of the selling stockholder has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a result of his or her ownership of shares of equity securities. Because the selling stockholder may offer all, some or none of their common stock, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after this offering can be provided.
Except as set forth in the footnotes to the table, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable. A person is considered the beneficial owner of any securities as of a given date that can be acquired within 60 days of such date through the exercise of any option, warrant or right. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or rights which are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are considered outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or rights, but are not considered outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of any other person.
Because of adjustments to and variations in the conversion price of the convertible promissory notes, the number of shares that will actually be issued upon conversion of the notes may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the convertible debenture, the selling stockholder may not convert the convertible debenture to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause the selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to have acquired a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory notes which have not been converted and upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection therewith which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column reflects this limitation.
The "Common Shares Beneficially Owned after Offering" column assumes the sale of all shares offered by the selling stockholder set forth below. The "Percentage of Common Shares Beneficially Owned after Offering" column is based on 57,709,990 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 9, 2007.

Description of Securities
Common Stock
We are authorized to issued 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, as of the date of this prospectus, 57,709,990 shares were issued, outstanding, and held by approximately 163 record holders. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on generally by the stockholder, including the election of directors, and, except as otherwise required by law or except as provided with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of the shares possess all voting power. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. As a result, under Nevada Law, the holders of more than one-half of the outstanding shares of common stock generally will be able to elect all of our directors then standing for election and holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any director. Subject to any preferential rights of any series of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends on the stock out of assets legally available for distribution when, as and if authorized and declared by our Board of Directors. The payment of dividends on the common stock will be a business decision to be made by our Board of Directors from time to time based upon results of our operations and our financial condition and any other factors as our Board of Directors considers relevant. Payment of dividends on the common stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into by us from time to time. Any material contractual restrictions on dividend payments will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to any preferential rights of any series of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our stockholder in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Holders of common stock have no preferential, preemptive, conversion or exchange rights.
Preferred Stock
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, the board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholder, to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors may issue this stock in one or more series and may fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of this stock. Some of the rights and preferences that the board of directors may designate include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms. The board of directors may determine the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series. Any or all of the rights and preferences selected by the board of directors may be greater than the rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that stockholder will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Marmion.
We currently have designated two series of preferred stock, a summary of the terms of which are set forth below. While we have no present intention to issue shares of any additional series of preferred stock, any such issuance could dilute the equity of the outstanding shares of common stock and could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. In addition, such preferred stock may have other rights, including economic rights senior to the common stock, and, as a result, the issuance thereof could have a material adverse effect on the market value of the common stock.
Series A Preferred Stock
10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock have been designated as series A preferred stock. As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding 9,500,000 shares of series A preferred stock. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into 40 shares of our common stock.
The holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends if and as when declared by the board of directors. The holders of the series A preferred stock have voting rights on all matters submitted to holders of our common stock. Each holder of series A preferred stock is entitled to that number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of common stock into, which the series A preferred stock is convertible.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to receive in cash out of our assets, before any amount shall be paid to the common stock or any class junior in rank to the series A preferred stock, an amount per share of series A preferred stock equal to $0.001 per share.
31
Series B Preferred Stock
30,000,000 shares of our preferred stock have been designated as series B preferred stock. As of March 31, 2007, we had outstanding 30,000,000 shares of series B preferred stock. Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of our common stock.
The holders of the series B preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends if and as when declared by the board of directors. The holders of the series B preferred stock have voting rights on all matters submitted to holders of our common stock. Each holder of series B preferred stock is entitled to that number of votes on such matters equal to the number of shares of common stock into which its series B preferred stock is convertible
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the series B preferred stock are entitled to receive in cash out of our assets, before any amount shall be paid on the Common stock or to any class junior in rank to the series B preferred stock, an amount per share of series B preferred stock equal to $0.0001 per share.
Convertible Notes
March 2007 Private Placement
On March 22, 2007, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with a single accredited investor pursuant to which they agreed to issue up to $3,000,000 of principal amount of convertible debenture and warrants to purchase 100,000,000 shares of our common stock. The debenture has a 5 year term and bear interest at twelve percent (12%). We are required to make “interest only” payments for the first six months following issuance. Beginning on the 7th month following issuance, we are required to make amortizing payments of principal plus interest in the amount equal to $224,375.41. If a registration statement is effective, this amount can be satisfied by conversion of the debenture. The debenture is convertible into our common stock pursuant to a “variable conversion price” equal to the lesser of (i) $0.075 and (ii) 75% of the lowest bid price for our common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion; provided, however, upon an event of default (as defined) this conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then current conversion price and 50% of the lowest bid price for the 15 trading days prior to conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.001 per share. In addition, upon an event of default (as defined) the holder can exercise its right to increase the face amount of the debenture by 10% for the first default and by 10% for each subsequent event of default. In addition, the holder may else to increase the face amount by 2.5% per month paid as liquidated damages The maximum amount that the face amount may be increased by holder for all defaults under the note and any other transaction document is 30%, The debenture is secured by a 1st lien on our assets, a guaranty by our subsidiary and a pledge of 4 million shares of Mr. Marmion’s series B preferred stock
Under the terms of this debenture and the related warrants, the debenture and the warrants are convertible/exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such securities, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates (but not including shares of common stock underlying unconverted shares of the debenture or unexercised portions of the warrants) would not exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth therein, the debenture is redeemable by us at a rate of between 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus interest. In addition, so long as the average daily price of our common stock is below the “initial market price” (as defined) we may prepay a such monthly portion due on the outstanding notes and the investors agree that no conversions will take place during such month where this option is exercised by us.
The debenture was issued with warrants to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment. To the extent that the shares of common stock underlying the warrant of not registered for resale, the warrant holder may designate a "cashless exercise option." This option entitles the warrant holders to elect to receive fewer shares of common stock without paying the cash exercise price. The number of shares to be determined by a formula based on the total number of shares to which the warrant holder is entitled, the current market value of the common stock and the applicable exercise price of the warrant.
32
We agreed to register the secondary offering and resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debenture and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants by April 16, 2007.
We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the debenture and the warrants.
Warrants
The March 22, 2007 debenture was issued with Warrants to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share until March 22, 2012. To the extent that the shares of common stock underlying the warrant of not registered for resale, the warrant holder may designate a "cashless exercise option." This option entitles the warrant holders to elect to receive fewer shares of common stock without paying the cash exercise price. The number of shares to be determined by a formula based on the total number of shares to which the warrant holder is entitled, the current market value of the common stock and the applicable exercise price of the warrant.
Registration Rights
The holders of our convertible debenture and related warrants issued pursuant to the March 2007 Private Placement discussed above are entitled to have the shares of common stock underlying such securities registered by us under the terms of an agreement between us and the holders of the convertible debenture and related warrants. Under the terms of such agreement, we are required to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying such debenture and related warrants by April 16, 2007. If this registration statement has not been declared effective by July 16, 2007, then for each month (prorated for partial months) thereafter during which the registration statement is not declared effective, we begin incurring liquidated damages equal to 2% of the principal of the promissory notes issued for each 30 day period that this registration statement is not declared effective after July 16, 2007.
We are also required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering such shares of common stock until the earlier of:
· | the date as of which the holders of the convertible debenture and related warrants may sell all of the shares of common stock covered by such registration statement under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, and |
· | the date on which the holders of the convertible debenture and related warrants have sold all of the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the related warrants. |
We will bear all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, with respect to the registration statement relating to the convertible debenture and the related warrants.

Experts
Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 appearing in this prospectus and this registration statement have been audited by Sherb & Co., LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon, which contains an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to continue as a going concern, appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing
Changes In Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Effective July 16, 2005, we dismissed our independent auditor, Lopez, Blevins, Bork & Associates LLP ("Lopez, Blevins").
The report of Lopez, Blevins on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. However, the report did contain a modification paragraph that raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through July 16, 2005 there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Lopez, Blevins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Lopez, Blevins, would have caused Lopez, Blevins to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with his reports on the financial statements for such periods.
On July 16, 2005, we engaged Sherb & Co., LLP (Sherb) as our independent accountant to report on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, and the related combined statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The decision to appoint Sherb was approved by our Board of Directors.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Sherb, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with Sherb regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either contemplated or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement" or a "reportable event," as those terms are defined in Regulation S-K, Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and 304(a)(1)(v).
We provided Lopez, Blevins with a copy of the Current Report before our filing with the Commission. We requested Lopez, Blevins to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether they agree with the statements made by us in that Report and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. We filed the former auditor's letter as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 12, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Stockholder and Directors
Marmion Industries Corp.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Marmion Industries Corp. as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s deficit and cash flows for each of the years then ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marmion Industries Corp. as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, including a net loss of approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and has a substantial working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2006. These factors raise substantial doubt the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MARMION INDUSTRIES CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 and 2005
Nature of our Business
Marmion Industries Corp., a Texas corporation d/b/a Marmion Air Service (“Marmion Air”) (“the Company”), was incorporated on June 8, 1995. Marmion Air Service commenced operations in 1998 in residential and commercial HVAC service. Marmion Air specializes in explosion-proof heating, ventilation, cooling pressurization and chemical filtration solutions for mission-critical applications. The Marmion Air customer base is centrally located in the state of Texas.
On May 20, 2004, Wilbert H. Marmion, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Marmion Industries Corporation (formerly International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.) contributed all of his shares of common stock in Marmion Investments, Inc., a Texas corporation d/b/a Marmion Air Service, to Marmion Industries Corporation (formerly International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.) as a contribution to Marmion Industries Corp.’s capital. The shares contributed to Marmion Industries Corporation (formerly International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.) represent one hundred percent of the issued and outstanding shares in Marmion Investments, Inc.
For accounting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Marmion Industries Corporation (formerly International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.) and a recapitalization of Marmion Investments, Inc. Marmion Investments, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carry over. Accordingly, the operations of Marmion Industries Corporation (formerly International Trust & Financial Systems, Inc.) were not carried over and were adjusted to $0.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Going Concern
Marmion Air has incurred losses totaling $13,068,632 through December 31, 2006 and has a working capital deficit of $720,574 at December 31, 2006. Because of these conditions, Marmion Air will require additional working capital to develop business operations. Marmion Air intends to raise additional working capital either through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing.
There are no assurances that Marmion Air will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support Marmion Air’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, Marmion Air will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to Marmion Air. If adequate working capital is not available Marmion Air may not increase its operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about Marmion Air's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Marmion Air be unable to continue as a going concern.
F-6
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Marmion Industries Corp (the "Company"), include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Marmion Investments Inc., which is an inactive company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Accounting
Marmion Air maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Earnings are charged with a provision for doubtful accounts based on a current review of collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $88,463 and $24,914, respectively. Management considers this allowance adequate to cover probable future losses due to uncollectible trade receivables.
Inventory
Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using a first-in, first-out method of costing. At December 31, 2006, inventory totaling $169,888 consisted of $42,142 in finished goods and $127,746 in raw material.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which are generally three to seven years.
Long Lived Assets
The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The Company has not identified any such impairment losses.
F-7
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. These criteria are generally met at the time product is shipped or services are performed.
The Company from time to time may enter into a long term construction project, which such services may be performed over a few months. The Company records such revenues from long term contracts on a percentage of completion basis. At each report date an evaluation is made to determine if there is a loss contingency to record for such long term contracts. There were no such long term contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, there were six long term contracts outstanding. The Company recorded $27,836 and $198,552 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, respectively, at December 31, 2006 in regard to these contracts. At December 31, 2006, there was $86,227 billed out but not paid by customers because of retainage provisions. For these long term construction projects, there is still $1.3 million to be billed out in subsequent periods as the work is completed.
We extend a one year parts warranty on all equipment manufactured and one year parts and labor warranty on all equipment manufactured and in service within one hundred miles of our facility. We recognized a warranty expense of $10,739 and $2,975 for the years 2006 and 2005. There is no warranty accrual at December 31, 2006. Any returns are accepted within 30 days of sale with a 35% restock fee.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are normally FOB the Company’s factory, prepay and add. These costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the period in which the advertising takes place. Advertising for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $12,610 and $12,377, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, factor payable and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. Amounts due from related parties were not evaluated for their fair value, due to the nature of such debt.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Occasionally, the Company may have cash balances in its bank accounts that exceed $100,000, the federal insured limits. In addition, the Company maintains relationships with major customers and vendors as disclosed in note 9.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
F-8
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per
share would be calculated as the per share amount that would have resulted if dilutive potential stock had been converted to common stock, as prescribed by SFAS 128. The Company has not presented diluted per share amounts, as the dilution would reduce the loss per share. The common stock equivalents at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was zero and 585,000 respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financials to be in conformity to the current year presentations.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Reverse Stock Split
On January 25, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a reverse stock split of 1 share for every 100 shares outstanding. As a result all share and per share data have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to this 1 for 100 reverse stock split.
Stock Based Compensation
We previously accounted for stock-based compensation issued to our employees under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, (APB 25). Accordingly, no compensation costs for stock options issued to employees, measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the options, was recorded. The pro forma net earnings per share amounts as if the fair value method had been used are presented below for the year ended December 30, 2005, in accordance with the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Marmion Industries granted 2,703,000 options to purchase common stock to employees in the year ended December 31, 2005. All options vest immediately, have an exercise price of 85 percent of market value on the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Marmion Industries recorded compensation expense of $547,663 under the intrinsic value method during the year ended December 31, 2005. Marmion Air did not grant options to purchase common stock to employees in the year ending December 31, 2006.
For purposes of the following disclosures during the transition period of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the weighted average fair value of options has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if Marmion Air had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of $0, expected volatility of 308%, risk-free interest rate of 4.26%, and expected lives of 0.167 years.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, which is an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement; a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, b) clarifies which interest-only strip and principal-only strip are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, e) amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, which amends FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement establishes, among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends Statement 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. An entity that uses derivative instruments to mitigate the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities is required to account for those derivative instruments at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. By electing that option, an entity may simplify its accounting because this Statement permits income statement recognition of the potential offsetting changes in fair value of those servicing assets and servicing liabilities and derivative instruments in the same accounting period. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
F-10
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is a relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practices. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Earlier application is permitted provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

In September 2006, the Company terminated its factoring arrangement for the financing of selected receivables and engaged a new factoring agreement.. The receivables factored are subject to a full recourse repurchase guarantee arrangement. The factoring fee can be up to 10% per receivable factored, but is usually less depending on the timeliness of the payments by the customers due to rebates of the factoring fee.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT
During fiscal year 2006, the note payable to related party (see note 4) in the amount of $153,000 and accrued interest totaling $37,218 was sold to unrelated third parties. The Company reconfirmed the note and issued guarantees for the payments of the new notes and related interest. The Company did not receive any new monies as a result of these transactions. The notes and accrued interest are convertible at will by the holders into common stock at the rate of $.005 per share The four resulting notes payable are as follows:
(1) | $24,263 of the related party note plus accrued interest approximating $5,802. |
As of December 31, 2006, all of the debt and accrued interest totaling $5,737 had been converted to 6,000,000 shares.
(2) | $52,569 of the related party note plus accrued interest approximating $12,828. |

The Company recorded charges totaling $5,791,637 as a form of compensation expense for these convertible debt securities due on demand, based on the conversion of such debt into shares of common stock. The expense recorded relates to the intrinsic value of the conversion price of $.005 per share as compared to the market price of the shares at time of issue.
The accounting for these convertible debt securities with beneficial conversion features was provided for under the interpretative guidance of EITF 98-5, EITF 00-27 and SFAS No. 133 as the effective dilution to the common shareholders as of December 31, 2006, including the pro-forma effects providing for second re-issuance of debt to have been fully converted, would be to have issued 99% of the outstanding shares of common stock to these debt holders for the conversion of $160,000 in debt, at the option of the holder of such debt.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS 109), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
F-13
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following:

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 35% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
December 31, | ||||
2006 | ||||
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | ||||
Net operating loss carryover | $ | 1,273,000 | ||
Plus, Change in valuation allowance | 304,000 | |||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | 1,578,000 |
At December 31, 2006, we had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $4,520,000 that is available to offset future taxable income; it expires beginning in 2023 through 2027. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a change in equity ownership of greater than 50% of the Company within a three year period can result in an annual limitation on the Company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards that were created during tax periods prior to the change in ownership.
The valuation of the deferred tax asset increased by approximately $304,000 for 2006.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS
Office Lease
Marmion Air leases office and warehouse facilities at the same location under three operating leases all commencing June 1, 2006 and expiring May 31, 2007. Combined rent expense is $4,075 per month. Rent expense was $45,472 and $35,825 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In 2006 Marmion Air purchased 24% of its goods from one vendor. In 2005 Marmion Air purchased just over 50% of their goods from one vendor.
NOTE 10 - EQUITY
In November 2004 Marmion Industries approved a change to their articles of incorporation bringing the number of authorized shares of common stock to 3,000,000,000 and authorized shares of preferred stock to 500,000,000. In January 2006, such articles were amended to reduce the authorized shares of common stock to 50,000,000, and in September 2006 the articles were again amended to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000.
The terms of the Series A and B Preferred shares are as follows:
The 9,500,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding have preferences which include a liquidation right of $0.001 per share or $9,500, and conversion rights into 40 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock.
The 30,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding have preferences which include a liquidation right of $0.0001 per share or $3,000, and conversion rights into 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock.
Prior to August 2006 the conversion rights of both the Series A and B Preferred shares had an adjustment clause, which essentially provided for an adjustment to be the equivalent of an offset to any stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization to increase or decrease such conversion factor to ensure a majority voting control in the Company. In August 2006 we filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of designation for both Series A and B Preferred shares deleting the adjustment of conversion rate upon subdivision or combination of the common stock. In addition, the holders of the Preferred shares waived all prior adjustments to the conversion rate for previous subdivisions and combinations of our common stock.
On September 5, 2006, the Series A Preferred shareholder elected to convert 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred shares to 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
In November 2004, Marmion Industries declared a reverse stock split effected in the form of 1 common share for each 500 issued and outstanding common shares of Marmion Industries common stock. In March 2005, Marmion Industries declared a reverse stock split effected in the form of 1 common share for each 1,000 issued and outstanding common shares of Marmion Industries common stock. In January 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of 1 share for every 100 shares outstanding. All share and per share data have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to these stock splits.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued 2,120,574 shares of common stock to various consultants. Expense of $1,437,380 was recorded related to these shares, which was the market value of such shares issued at prices varying from $0.22 to $160.
The Company recorded $547,663 of expense due to the issuance of 2,703,000 stock options to employees in fiscal 2005. These options were issued at 85% of the then market price, and were exercised within a short period of time. The recorded expense was to be representative of the below market exercise price and a value was placed on the related party event of a large amount of options issued to employees which potentially could have affected ownership control.
F-15
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, employees exercised options to acquire 1,601,000 shares of common stock. The Company received proceeds totaling $687,216 upon exercise of these options.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 7,185,187 shares of common stock to various consultants. Expense of $893,236 was recorded related to these shares, which was the market value of such shares at prices varying from $0.026 to $0.25.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 19,700,000 shares of common stock to convert debt totaling $98,500 to equity.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds totaling $50,000.
As of December 31, 2006 Mr. Marmion controls in excess of 90% of the votes available based on his stock ownership. The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are currently convertible into more common stock than we have authorized and as such his ownership is determined on a basis of conversion into all common stock currently authorized. We do not consider his ownership of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock to include derivative liability instruments due to the related party nature of his holdings and he already owns a controlling ownership in the Company.

In January 2007, the Series A preferred stockholder advanced another $60,000 to the Company.
On March 22, 2007, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which they agreed to issue up to $3,000,000 of principal amount of convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase 100,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Purchase Agreement”). The convertible notes have a 5 year term and bear interest at twelve percent (12%). Beginning on the 7th month following issuance, we are required to make amortizing payments of principal plus interest in the amount equal to $224,375.41. If a registration statement is effective, this amount can be satisfied by conversion of the debenture. The notes are convertible into our common stock pursuant to a “variable conversion price” equal to the lesser of $0.075 and 75% of the lowest bid price for our common stock during the 20 trading day period prior to conversion. Provided, however, upon an event of default this conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then current conversion price and 50% of the lowest bid price for the 15 trading days prior to conversion. In no event shall the conversion price be less than $0.001 per share. In addition, upon an event of default, the holder can exercise its right to increase the face amount of the Debenture by 10% for the first default and by 10% for each subsequent event of default. In addition, the Holder may else to increase the face amount by 2.5% per month paid as liquidated damages The maximum amount that the face amount may be increased by holder for all defaults under the note and any other transaction document is 30%,. The debenture is secured by a 1st lien, a guaranty by our subsidiary and a pledge of 4 million shares of Mr. Marmion’s series B preferred stock
Under the terms of these notes and the related warrants, the notes and the warrants are convertible/exercisable by any holder only to the extent that the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to such securities, together with the number of shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates (but not including shares of common stock underlying unconverted shares of the note or unexercised portions of the warrants) would not exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth therein, the notes are redeemable by us at a rate of between 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes plus interest. In addition, so long as the average daily price of our common stock is below the “initial market price”, we may prepay a such monthly portion due on the outstanding notes and the investors agree that no conversions will take place during such month where this option is exercised by us.
The notes were issued with warrants to purchase up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.015 per share, subject to adjustment. To the extent that the shares of common stock underlying the warrant of not registered for resale, the warrant holder may designate a "cashless exercise option." This option entitles the warrant holders to elect to receive fewer shares of common stock without paying the cash exercise price. The number of shares to be determined by a formula based on the total number of shares to which the warrant holder is entitled, the current market value of the common stock and the applicable exercise price of the warrant.
We agreed to register the secondary offering and resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants by April 16, 2007.
We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the notes and the warrants.

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Indemnification of Directors
Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to a proceeding, including any lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is being indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may also be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law.
The indemnification provisions in the Bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. However, we are aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and therefore unenforceable.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth estimated expenses to be incurred by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of all shares being registered. All such expenses are estimated except for the SEC registration fee.
Description of Expense | Amount ($) | |||

Printing expenses | 1,000 | |||
Fees and expenses of counsel for the Company | 25,000 | |||

The issuance was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. (See “Description of Securities - March 2007 Private Placement”)
On September 5, 2006, the holder of all of our series A preferred stock converted 250,000 shares of his series A preferred stock upon which he received 10 million shares of our common stock. The issuance was exempt under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In May 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marmion Investments, Inc. amended and restated a promissory note in the amount of $72,288 (plus $8,000 accrued interest) held by an accredited investor. The amended and restated note is convertible into our common stock at a rate of $.005 per share and is guaranteed by us. This note has been partially converted as of the date of this report. The amendment and restatement of the note and the conversion of the note into common stock were exempt pursuant to Section 3 (a)(9) and 4 (2) of the Securities Act.

Item 28. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes the following:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registration pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
II-2
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
