Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2007
NOTE 1 - | NATURE OF ORGANIZATION |
The financial statements presented are those of Conspiracy Entertainment Holdings, Inc., (formerly Lance Systems, Inc.) (the Company). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on July 29, 1982 as Strategic Recovery Corporation. On February 16, 1987, the Company merged with Lance, Inc., (a Utah Corporation), and changed its name to Lance Systems, Inc. The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring investments. However, subsequent to the merge, the Company changed its purpose from acquiring investments to creating, developing and selling micro computer software.
On October 7, 2003, the Company effected a reorganization and acquisition agreement with Conspiracy Entertainment Corporation (CEC), organized in November 1997. The reorganization agreement provided for the issuance of 21,552,900 shares of common stock to the shareholder of CEC, for all outstanding shares of CEC. Pursuant to the acquisition, CEC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the name of the Company was changed to Conspiracy Entertainment Holdings, Inc. The reorganization was recorded as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of business combination. In a reverse acquisition all accounting history becomes that of the accounting acquirer, therefore all historical information prior to the acquisition is that of CEC. The shares issued to the shareholders of CEC have been stated retroactively, as though a 1,026 for 1 stock split occurred on January 1, 2003. The reverse merger adjustment is therefore all the shares held by the Lance shareholders prior to the acquisition.
In early 2004, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Conspiracy Entertainment Europe, LTD (CEE), a United Kingdom Corporation, to develop and distribute certain game titles in Europe. During 2004, the Company advanced $60,000 to this majority owned subsidiary to cover operating expenses. During 2006, the Company sold it’s 51% interest in CEE for $41,000. The financial statements of CEE are consolidated with the Company through the date of sale, with a minority interest adjustment.
NOTE 2 - | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

NOTE 3 - | EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE |
The Company reports loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share." Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholder by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. The calculation of the net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders for the periods presented with net losses does not include potential shares of common stock equivalents, as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

For the periods ended September 30, 2007, the Company had warrants to purchase 70,000,000 common shares at a weighted average price of $0.125 and notes payable convertible into 154,817,539 common shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.
For the periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company had warrants to purchase 70,000,000 common shares exercisable at both $0.05 and $0.20 per share. Since both exercise prices were higher than the trading price at September 30, 2008 (the trading price was $0.04 per share), they are not included in the diluted earnings calculation.
CONSPIRACY ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2007
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, at September 30, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $11,000,000 and negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Recovery of the Company's assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is indeterminable. Successful completion of the Company's development program and its transition to the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon the company achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. In addition, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements and the success of its plans to develop and sell its products. Management plans to issue additional debt and equity to fund the release of new products in 2008 and 2009. The consolidated financial statements do no include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 4 - | CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE |
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement on July 7, 2007 for the issuance of $200,000 of convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) The Convertible Note accrues interest at 15% per annum. The note holder has the option to convert any unpaid note principal to the Company’s common stock at a rate of the lower of a) $0.02 or b) 70% of the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for the common stock on a principal market for the 30 trading days before, but not including, conversion date. The notes matured on August 1, 2008 and are currently in default.
During the year ended December 31 2007, the Company issued to investors of the Convertible Notes a total amount of $200,000 in exchange for total proceeds of $200,000.
The Company's identified embedded derivatives related to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on July 7, 2007. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company allocate the relative fair values of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Securities Purchase Agreement up to the proceeds amount and to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company allocated $200,000 to the embedded derivatives.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company amortized the debt discount and charged to interest expense $109,463.

NOTE 8 - | RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2007 have been restated to correct the following errors in its previously issued financial statements:
· The Company had issued convertible debt with embedded derivatives including certain conversion features, variable interest rate features, call and default provisions. The accounting treatment of these derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of inception date of the Note and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into the Notes, the Company are required to classify all other non-employee stock options and warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting date. In our initial financial statements we erred in following the guidance of SFAS 133.

NOTE 8 - | RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
· In conjunction with raising capital through the issuance of Convertible Notes, the Company has issued registration rights for the underlying shares under certain debentures and related warrants. This agreement includes a liquidated damages provision that if the Company did not met the “Required Filing Date” or the “Initial Required Effectiveness Date” as defined therein. The Company has not met the “Required Filing Date” nor is the “Initial Required Effectiveness Date” as of December 31, 2007 and as such, under the guidance of FSB ETIF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Agreements”, required to accrue an estimate of liquidated damages.
· The Company had previously recorded monies received from a joint venture as minority interest. Upon re-review of the agreement, it was noted that the amounts received as part of the joint venture were to reimburse the Company for costs incurred on developing the related video games. As such, the Company is restating the amounts received as a reduction of the capitalized costs related to the joint venture and not as minority interest (reclassification). This has no effect to the statements of operations.
The impact on these restatement adjustments is to increase reported net loss by $3,691,022 from a net loss of $130,592 to a net loss of $3,821,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and decrease reported net income by $6,507,456 from net income of $134,089 to a net loss of $6,373,367 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. There was no effect on the total cash flows.
The following are reconciliations of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007 and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 2007.
1. Estimated accrual for liquidated damages under a registration rights agreement issued in connection with Convertible debt.
2. Correction in the recording of the fair value of embedded derivatives and warrant liability as of December 31, 2007.
3. Correction to the carrying value of the convertible debt created by errors in the amortization of the debt discount.
4. The Company initially recorded the debt discount of the convertible debt at the date of issuance with an offset to equity (additional paid in capital) as a beneficial conversion feature and warrants as an equity instrument. Under SFAS 133, the appropriate offset should have been to derivative and warrant liability accounts. This entry re-classes previous year’s errors and charges to Accumulated Deficit.
5. Income statement. Corrects the amortization of the debt discounts associated with the convertible debt
6. Income statement. Corrects the mark to market change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives and warrant liability.
7. Reclassification. Correction in recording proceeds from a joint venture agreement as a reimbursement for capitalized development costs (reduction of costs) rather than as originally recorded as minority interest.

The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due to the adjustments made to the valuation of derivative liability over the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $7,784,004 compared to $2,519,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This represents an increase of $5,264,674.

Interest expense was $159,818 and $106,489 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This was an increase of $53,329 or 50.1%.
We had $138,073 net gain on the valuation of derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $3,682,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Our net income was $353,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $3,821,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was due to the gain on valuation of our derivative liabilities of $138,073 as compared to a loss on valuation of our derivative liabilities of $3,682,722 for the nine months ended September 30, 20076.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008 our cash balance was $211,277 compared to $539,990 at December 31, 2007. Total current assets at September 30, 2008 were $370,277 compared to $927,385 at December 31, 2007. We currently plan to use the cash balance and cash generated from operations for increasing our working capital reserves and, along with additional debt financing, for new product development, securing new licenses, building up inventory, hiring more sales staff and funding advertising and marketing. Management believes that the current cash on hand and additional cash expected from operations in fiscal 2008 will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2008. The Company reached this conclusion by recognizing that a major portion ($2,217,400) of our debt is attributed to convertible notes payable, which we expect to be converted into shares, Deferred Revenue ($2,373,441) will be reclassified as revenue upon the completion of the current projects in development, and Derivative Liability ($3,444,428) would be the amount of cash required should our investors call in our outstanding loans. Although we do not believe that our investors will call in our outstanding loans anytime in the near future. We can provide no assurance that this will not occur. We have informally negotiated with the IRS to pay down our Payroll Taxes liability in the amount of $10,000 per month. The Company is negotiating with several other parties to waive portions of our debt, or to pay the debt with the issuance of company stock including Deferred Compensation ($394,544). In addition, based on our schedule of development for the remainder of the year, we anticipate an increase in sales, profitability and cash receipts in 2008 which will allow the Company to continue to pay down our working capital requirements and help avoid additional need for working capital.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided in operating activities was $2,024,956 as compared to $3,071,551 used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cash provided in operating activities can be attributed to an increase in net profit of $4,175,315 from a loss of $3,821,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to net income of $353,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, we had a net gain in the valuation of our derivative liability of $138,073 as compared to a net loss in the valuation of our derivative liability of $3,682,722. Finally we a change in Prepaids of $ 3,085,808 from $2,808,608 reduction for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to an increase of $277,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $2,598,669, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $944,922 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in cash used in investing activities of $1,653,747 for the nine months ending September 30, 2008, was due to the increase in payments for development costs and licenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash provided by Financing Activities was $245,000 compared to $4,358,992 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease in cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from less proceeds from advances.
Our accounts receivable at September 30, 2008 was $159,000, compared to $110,195 at December 31, 2007. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to receiving larger orders at the end of the quarter prior as compared to December 31, 2007.
As of September 30, 2008 we had a working capital deficiency of $12,167,676. A major portion of our debt is attributed to consulting fees, attorney fees, and payroll taxes payable. We plan to reduce these debts with proceeds generated from normal operational cash flow as well as the issuance of company stock.
At September 30, 2008 we had no bank debt.
Financings
On January 16, 2004, we received $50,000 from Calluna Capital Corporation under the terms of a February 25, 2003 convertible notes payable agreement bringing the total amount borrowed from Calluna Capital Corporation to $500,000.
On May 17, 2004, we sold 2,792,200 shares of common stock to accredited investors for $.10 per share, or an aggregate of $279,220.
On August 31, 2004, we sold an aggregate of $1,050,000 principal amount of 5% Secured Convertible Debentures, Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 21,000,000 shares of our common stock, and Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 21,000,000 shares of our common stock, to four institutional investors. We received gross proceeds totaling $1,050,000 from the sale of the Debentures and the Warrants.
On September 28, 2004, we sold a $50,000 principal amount 5% Secured Convertible Debenture, Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, and Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, to one institutional investor. We received gross proceeds totaling $50,000 from the sale of the Debentures and the Warrants.
On February 9, 2005, we sold an aggregate of $650,000 principal amount of 5% Secured Convertible Debentures, 13,000,000 Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants, and 13,000,000 Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants, to four accredited institutional investors for gross proceeds totaling $650,000.
On August 11, 2006, we sold an aggregate of $247,000 principal amount of 15% secured convertible notes to two accredited institutional investors for gross proceeds totaling $247,000 less expenses of $4,000.
On March 30, 2007, we sold an aggregate of $80,000 principal amount of 15% secured convertible notes to two accredited institutional investors for gross proceeds of $80,000 less expenses of $12,500.
We do not have any current plans to obtain additional debt or equity financing. We plan to satisfy our capital expenditure commitments and other capital requirements through cash generated from operations and through funds received upon exercise of outstanding warrants. We believe the proceeds from exercise of our outstanding warrants will be sufficient to fund any need for additional capital. We currently have outstanding 35,000,000 Class A Warrants with exercise prices of $0.05 and 35,000,000 Class B Warrants with exercise prices of $0.20. Exercise of all of these warrants would provide gross proceeds of $8,750,000. However, at recent market prices of our common stock, none of these warrants are in the money. Thus, if the market price of our common stock does not increase and warrant holders do not exercise their warrants, we may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. If additional financing is required and we cannot obtain additional financing in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms when needed, our financial condition and operating results will be materially adversely affected.

In August 2006, we entered into a convertible notes agreement totaling $247,000. The notes if called would be payable February 2007.
On August 5, 2005 and August 8, 2005, two accredited investors loaned us an aggregate of $223,600 in gross proceeds in exchange for two notes payable. The notes bear no interest and were due February 1, 2006.

In September and October 2004, we entered into two convertible notes payable agreements totaling $1.1 million. To date, these notes are past due and have not been called.

We currently lease office space at 612 Santa Monica Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. Through the remainder of the lease term, our minimum lease payments are as follows:
2007 | | $ | 28,331 | |
| | | | |
2008 | | $ | 69,598 | |
Our license agreement with Discovery for "The Jeff Corwin Experience" requires payments of the remaining $80,000 to be paid in full during the year 2005. Although we have only made $20,000 in payments during 2006, we are looking into our options on how to best handle this matter and plan to pay the balance in full by the end of 2007.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Assignment of Accounts Receivable. We regularly assign our receivables to vendors with recourse. Assigned accounts receivable are shown on the accounts receivable section of the balance sheet until collected by the beneficiary. Should the accounts receivable become uncollectible, we are ultimately responsible for paying the vendor and recording an allowance for potential credit losses as deemed necessary. The assigned accounts receivable are generally collected within 90 days; therefore, the balance shown approximates its fair value.
Capitalized Development Costs and Licenses. Capitalized development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation.
Capitalized Development Costs. For products where proven technology exits, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Prior to a product's release, we expense, as part of cost of sales, development costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Amounts related to capitalized development costs that are not capitalized are charged immediately to cost of sales. We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The recoverablility of capitalized development costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products for which the costs relate. The following criteria are used to evaluate expected product performance: historical performance of comparable products using comparable technology and orders of the product prior to its release. Commencing upon product release, capitalized development costs are amortized to cost of sales - software royalties and amortization is based on the ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues, generally resulting in an amortization period of one year or less. For products that have been released in prior periods, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.
Capitalized Licenses. Capitalized license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks or copyrights in the development of the products. Depending on the agreement with the rights holder, we may obtain the rights to use acquired intellectual property in multiple products over multiple years, or alternatively, for a single product over a shorter period of time.
We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized licenses on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized license costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products in which the licensed trademark or copyright is to be used. Prior to the related product's release, we expense, as part of cost of sales, licenses when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Capitalized development cost for those products that are cancelled or abandoned are charged to cost of sales. The following criteria are used to evaluate expected product performance: historical performance of comparable products using comparable technology and orders for the product prior to its release.
Commencing upon the related products release, capitalized license costs are amortized to cost of sales - licenses based on the ratio of current revenues for the specific product to total projected revenues for all products in which the licensed trademark or copyright will be utilized. As license contracts may extend for multiple years, the amortization of capitalized intellectual property license costs relating to such contracts may extend beyond one year. For intellectual property included in products that have been released, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue from video game distribution contracts, which provide for the receipt of non-refundable guaranteed advances, is recognized when the games are delivered to the distributor by the manufacturer under the completed contract method, provided the other conditions of sale are satisfied.
Until all of the conditions of the sale have been met, amounts received on such distribution contracts are recorded as deferred income. Although we regularly enter into the assignment of accounts receivable to vendors, we do not record revenues net versus gross since we:
i. Act as the principal in the transaction.
ii. Take title to the products.
iii. Have risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery, or returns.
iv. Do not act as an agent or broker.
At all times, we maintain control of the development process and is responsible for directing the vendor. Other than for payment, the customer does not communicate with the vendor.
We utilize the completed contract method of revenue recognition as opposed to the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition for substantially all of its products since the majority of its products are completed within six to eight months. We complete the products in a short period of time since we obtain video games that are partially complete or obtain foreign language video games published by foreign manufacturers that are completed.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments where applicable. The majority of the Company’s sales are done through exclusive distribution which requires advance payments from the distributor. If payments are not received, product will not be published. This eliminates the need for allowance for doubtful accounts for the majority of the Company’s receivables. However the Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its accounts receivable allowance for all sales not made under the explained scenario, and after considering the size of the accounts receivable balance, each customer's expected ability to pay and our collection history with each customer an allowance is established if deemed necessary by the Company’s findings. The Company reviews significant invoices that are past due to determine if an allowance is appropriate based on the risk category using the factors described above. In addition, the Company maintains a general reserve for certain invoices by applying a percentage based on the age category. The Company also monitors its accounts receivable for concentration to any one customer, industry or geographic region. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate, but changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $0 and $62,500, respectively.
Valuation of Long-Lived Intangible Assets Including Capitalized Development Costs and Licenses. Capitalized development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products.
We account for software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. Technological feasibility of a product encompasses both technical design documentation and game design documentation. The accumulation of appropriate costs as a capitalized, long-term asset involves significant judgment and estimates of employee time spent on individual software projects. The accumulation and timing of costs recorded and amortized may differ from actual results.
Our long-lived assets consist primarily of capitalized development costs and licenses. We review such long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we will not be able to recover the asset's carrying amount in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the fair value of the underlying business or asset, a significant decrease in the benefits realized from the software products, difficulty and delays in sales or a significant change in the operations of the use of an asset.
Recoverability of long-lived assets by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Capitalized development costs and licenses, net of accumulated amortization, totaled approximately $3,525,221 at September 30, 2008. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business or significant negative economic trends. If this evaluation indicates that the value of an intangible asset may be impaired, an assessment of the recoverability of the net carrying value of the asset over its remaining useful life is made. If this assessment indicates that an intangible asset is not recoverable, based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows or other comparable market valuations, of the entity or technology acquired over the remaining amortization period, the net carrying value of the related intangible asset will be reduced to fair value and the remaining amortization period may be adjusted. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial statements.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of our deferred tax assets. In concluding that a valuation allowance is required to be applied to certain deferred tax assets, we considered such factors as our history of operating losses, our uncertainty as to the projected long-term operating results, and the nature of our deferred tax assets. Although our operating plans assume taxable and operating income in future periods, our evaluation of all of the available evidence in assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets indicated that such plans were not considered sufficient to overcome the available negative evidence. The possible future reversal of the valuation allowance will result in future income statement benefit to the extent the valuation allowance was applied to deferred tax assets generated through ongoing operations. To the extent the valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets generated through stock compensation deductions, the possible future reversal of such valuation allowance will result in a credit to additional paid-in capital and will not result in future income statement benefit.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including Sirus Ahmadi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Keith Tanaka, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period ended September 30, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s internal controls of financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures are related to the limited financial backgrounds of our management and a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of our accounting department. When our financial position improves, we intend to hire additional personnel to remedy such deficiencies.
Changes in internal controls
Our management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the Quarter ended September 30, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the 2008 Quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
