We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tyree Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries, (“Successor Companies” as explained in Note 2 to the financial statements) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January 18, 2008 to December 31, 2008 (Successor Companies), and consolidated statements of operations, and changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 17, 2008 of The Tyree Organization, Ltd., and Affiliates (“Predecessor Companies” as explained in Note 1 to the financial statements). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tyree Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries (Successor Companies) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their consolidated operations and their cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January 18, 2008 to December 31, 2008 (Successor Companies), and the results of the consolidated operations and the cash flows of The Tyree Organization Ltd. and Affiliates (Predecessor Companies) for the period from January 1, 2008 to January 17, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Tyree Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries was formed in January 2008 and on January 17, 2008, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed the operations of The Tyree Organization, Ltd., and Affiliates (the “Predecessor Companies”). The affiliated companies were Larry E. Tyree Co., Inc., Tyree Bros. Environmental Services, Inc., Tyree Maintenance Company, Inc., and T.M. Excavating Corp.
The Company operates two distinct lines of business:
Environmental – Environmental consulting, site assessment, analysis and management of site remediation for owners and operators of property with petroleum storage facilities.
Services – Maintenance, repair and construction services provided principally to the retail petroleum industry and other customers with underground petroleum storage tanks and petroleum product dispensing equipment.
The Company markets its services throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southern California regions of the United States to national and multinational for-profit enterprises, as well as to local and national governmental agencies and municipalities. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from customers in the Northeastern United States.

TYREE HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. The Company generally follows the practice of filing statutory “mechanics” liens on construction projects where collection problems are anticipated. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management’s assessments of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. Accounts receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivables previously written off are recorded as income when subsequently collected.
Inventory
Inventory consists principally of maintenance parts and is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage. An inventory reserve is recorded if any carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed primarily on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment | 5-10 Years |
Vehicles | 7 Years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5-7 Years |
Computers | 5 Years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
TYREE HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Finite lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, and non-competition agreements. Such intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Customer relationships | 5 Years |
Non-competition agreements | 7 Years |
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are subject to an annual test for impairment and more frequently in certain circumstances.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in conjunction with the incurrence of indebtedness are capitalized and subsequently amortized to interest expense over the related period of the obligation using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method. These costs were primarily incurred during the acquisition in January 2008 and consist of professional fees related to the portion of the purchase price that was financed. These professional fees were allocated on a proportional basis of debt to purchase price. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs totaled $306,393 and $149,900 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and has been included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Revenue
Monthly customer payments under fixed fee maintenance contracts are deferred until the month in which the services are provided. Deferred revenue of $474,000 and $537,347 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, consists of customer payments made in advance for services provided in January 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Deferred Rent
The Company recognizes rent expense on leases containing scheduled rent increases by amortizing the aggregate lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Warranty Reserve
Most contracts that the Company enters into with its customers contain a written or implied warranty on workmanship for one year. Subcontractors and parts suppliers used by the Company generally warrant the parts they supply or services they perform for a similar period. At project or service completion, customers provide written or verbal acceptance of the Company's work. Warranty related cost experienced by the Company typically consist of minor adjustments or calibration work. The Company has accrued $53,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for warranty related cost.
Revenue Recognition
Environmental
Environmental contracts are generally performed on a unit-price or time and material basis and revenue is recognized as these services are rendered.
Services
The Company performs maintenance and repair services for several retail petroleum customers under multi-year, unit price contracts. Under these agreements, the customer pays a set price per contracted retail location per month and the Company provides a defined scope of maintenance and repair services at these locations on an on-call or as scheduled basis. Due to the large number of retail locations and the broad scope of services that fall under these contracts, the number and type of maintenance calls performed are consistent on a month-to-month basis. The Company recognizes revenue under these contracts based on the number of retail locations covered each month at the prevailing per location unit price. Other maintenance and repair services are performed on a unit-price or time and material basis and revenue is recognized as these services are rendered.
Revenue is recognized on fixed-priced construction contracts and modified fixed-priced construction contracts on the completed contract method, whereby revenue and cost from construction projects are recognized only when a project has been substantially completed. Contract costs include all direct material, labor, equipment and subcontract costs as well as other job related costs. Changes in job performance and job conditions, contract penalty provisions, final contract settlements, change orders, claims or other contract revisions are recognized at the completion of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made when it is determined that a loss is probable. In the event a provision for estimated losses is deemed necessary, the entire estimated loss is recognized in the period in which the determination arises. In the consolidated balance sheets, the asset “Construction in process” represents the direct cost on uncompleted contracts and the liability “Billings on construction” represents customer billing on uncompleted contracts.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, advertising expenses totaled approximately $33,000 and $15,000, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with using the liability method, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance based on whether its deferred tax assets will, more likely than not, result in any future tax benefits.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the federal, state and local tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that, in applying the liability method the financial statements’ effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. These requirements became effective for annual financial statements beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company adopted them as of January 1, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s income tax returns for the years 2008 and 2009 are subject to examination by federal, state, and local income tax authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required under GAAP:
| Cash: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the liquidity of those instruments. |
| Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts will be collected or paid, respectively, in the near term. |
TYREE HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
| Revolving Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt: The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments. |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence, loss contingencies on particular uncompleted contracts, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Related Parties
The Company considers parties to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control another party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
On January 17, 2008, the owners of the Company contributed approximately $49,600,000 in exchange for assets and certain assumed liabilities having a net fair value of $12,648,786. The net fair value of these assets and liabilities was not determined based on the $49,600,000 purchase price but is instead based on an independent valuation of the business as a whole. Therefore the difference of approximately $36,950,000 represents an investment of the purchasers in excess of the book value of the Company.

Accounting rules require that the intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, an impairment analysis was performed as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 using a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability and cash flows. As a result of the 2009 and 2008 impairment analysis, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired.
Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization totaled $1,106,440 and $1,060,338 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

7. | Revolving Loan Agreement and Subordinated Debt – Related Parties |
Senior Revolving Credit Agreement
The Company maintains a $15,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a related party which expires on January 17, 2013. Borrowings under this agreement are limited to 70% of eligible accounts receivable and the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $4,000,000. The balances outstanding under this agreement were $5,577,670 and $5,901,741 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by a first lien security interest in all tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company. The Company had approximately $9,400,000 and $9,100,000 of unused amounts available on the revolving credit agreement at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, subject to borrowing base limitations. The agreement calls for a minimum fixed charges coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio which have yet to be defined or determined. The annual interest rate charged on this loan is 16%.
Senior Subordinated Notes
These notes are borrowings from a related party and were originally scheduled to mature on January 17, 2013. The notes were collateralized by a security interest in all tangible and intangible assets assumed by the Company, but the security interest was subordinated to the security interest under the Company’s senior revolving credit agreement. The notes carried an interest rate of 8% prior to conversion.
On December 31, 2008, the Company converted all of its related senior subordinated notes of $700,000 and accrued interest of $46,156 to equity.
Long-term debt consists of the following as of December 31:
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Note payable to a commercial bank payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $6,198 through March 2011. The annual interest rate is 7.25%. | | $ | 62,644 | | | $ | 153,893 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Note payable to a former stockholder of the Predecessor Companies payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $9,709 through July 2010. The annual interest rate is prime plus 1.5%. | | | 59,813 | | | | 170,317 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Promissory notes payable, with accrued interest, to three former stockholders of the Predecessor Companies maturing on December 31, 2012.

December 31, 2009 and 2008
Pursuant to a Stockholders’ Agreement dated January 17, 2008, on October 31, 2008, 4,040 shares issued and designated Series B Convertible Preferred were converted into 850 shares of Series A Preferred Convertible and all Series B shares were canceled. In addition, 8,502 shares of common stock were surrendered and canceled per this agreement.
Series A preferred stock has dividends that are cumulative and are payable at an annual rate of 2%. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, dividends in arrears amounted to approximately $664,000 and $311,000, respectively, which will not be recorded until declared by the Board of Directors.
Conversion of Debt to Equity
As previously noted, on December 31, 2009, the Company converted all of its related senior subordinated notes of $700,000 and accrued interest of $46,156 to equity.
The Company’s net deferred tax assets result primarily from the future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. Under the liability method, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,723,000 and $690,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets increased by approximately $1,033,000 and $690,000 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating losses were approximately $2,670,000. The federal net operating losses expire from the years ending 2028 through 2029. These net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, based on certain changes in ownership that have occurred, or could occur in the future.
The Company evaluates deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets should be established or adjusted based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not realization standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency of recent income and losses, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of the statutory carryforward period. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on the Company’s evaluation, as described above, about the likelihood of realizing future tax benefits. The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction.

The Company’s effective rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes and the impact of recording a valuation allowance to offset the potential future tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carry forwards for all years presented. The following is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Lease Commitments
The Company leases office and warehouse space under non-cancelable operating leases, some of which, are between the Company and related parties, that expire in 2014. Generally, these leases carry renewal provisions and require the Company to pay maintenance costs. Rental payments may be adjusted for increases in taxes and insurance above specified amounts.
The Company recognizes rent expense on leases containing scheduled rent increases by amortizing the aggregate lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amount included in other liabilities related to this deferred rent liability is $22,509 at December 31, 2009. There was no such liability at December 31, 2008.
Rent expense (including common area maintenance and straight-line rent) totaled $1,071,732 and $1,110,237 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of December 31, 2009, including related party transactions, the approximate future minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company’s services are regulated by federal, state, and local laws enacted to regulate discharge of materials into the environment, remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater or otherwise protect the environment. This ongoing regulation results in the Company or the Predecessor Companies becoming a party to legal proceedings involving customers or other interested parties. The issues involved in such proceedings generally relate to alleged responsibility arising under federal or state laws to remediate contamination at properties owned or operated either by current or former customers or by other parties who allege damages. To limit its exposure to such proceedings, the Company purchases, for itself and the Predecessor Companies, site pollution, pollution, and professional liability insurance. Aggregate limits, per occurrence limits, and deductibles for this policy are $10,000,000, $5,000,000 and $50,000, respectively.
The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved in ordinary and routine litigation. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Nevertheless, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages and, in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the ruling occurs.
Assumed Liabilities
As part of its acquisition of the Predecessor Companies, the Company assumed certain liabilities that include tax liabilities, which are in the process of being settled. The Company has accrued $2,475,000 and $2,642,000 for these tax liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Settlement of these tax liabilities in excess of the amounts accrued could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Surety
In connection with its normal construction activities, the Company is required to acquire bid, performance and payment bonds. The surety issuing the bonds has recourse against certain Company assets in the event the surety is required to honor the bonds.
12. | Related Party Transactions |
Entities that provide working capital to the Company or are holders of subordinated promissory notes share common management or ownership with the Company’s majority stockholder. The total principal and accrued interest owed to these related entities was $6,136,420 and $6,430,491 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense incurred to these related entities totaled $896,413 and $752,926 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company receives consulting services from an entity controlled by the relatives of certain stockholders under a consulting agreement. The agreement expires on January 18, 2015. The Company makes payments of $15,800 per month during the term of the agreement.
The Company leases office and warehouse space from an entity controlled by certain stockholders. Rents paid to this related entity totaled $460,531 and $1,064,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. There were no balances due to this related entity as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
In 2008 the Company adopted The Tyree Holdings 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), which covers all eligible non-union employees. The Plan provides for voluntary contributions by eligible employees up to a maximum of 85% of their eligible compensation, subject to the applicable federal limitations. The Company has the option to make a discretionary contribution each year. The Company did not make any contributions for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Company has entered into collective bargaining agreements with certain labor unions. These agreements expire at varying dates through April 30, 2012. The Company also participates in several multi-employer pension plans. These plans provide benefits to substantially all union employees. Payments made under these plans totaled $1,620,454 and $2,013,654 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company funds these plans on a monthly basis in accordance with the provisions of the negotiated labor contracts.
14. | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances with various banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company believes that the risk of loss as a result of this policy is negligible. There was no uninsured cash maintained in banks as of December 31, 2009.
Accounts Receivable
The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing contract acceptance, billing and credit evaluation process, relatively short-term collection terms and its ability to file mechanics liens against customer properties serviced or constructed. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. Management also believes that its subcontractor qualification policies and contract performance monitoring procedures are adequate to minimize its exposure with respect to non-performance by subcontractors.

December 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company’s customers are located in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Southern California regions of the United States. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 42% and 16% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 and their balances amounted to 35% and 14% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 51% and 12% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 and their balances amounted to 54% and 14% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008.
Purchase Concentration
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, 43% and 39%, respectively, of the total purchases of inventory products were from one vendor.
The Company incurred losses for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January 18, 2008 to December 31, 2008. In 2010 and 2011, managements’ intention is to obtain a new lending credit facility from a financial institution which would provide the Company with additional funds at a lower interest rate than its current existing credit facility. The prospective new financing will permit the Company to increase its current market share in its core businesses by financing acquisitions, as well as to strengthen its competitiveness within its industry by reducing its costs of financing. In addition, the Company is currently implementing a plan to increase its working capital, thereby improving its liquidity. The Company will continue to utilize its senior revolving credit facility while it negotiates with new lenders.
Management is currently seeking to obtain a new lender credit facility to support the growth of the Company. Although management is confident that it will succeed in negotiating financing for the Company, there are no assurances that they will be successful in their endeavors. However, management believes they have sufficient access to working capital to sustain operations through September 30, 2011.
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to be acquired by Amincor, Inc. (“Amincor”) (formerly known as Joning Corp.), a related party. Amincor is to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company upon issuance of these financial statements.
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events through October 8, 2010, the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The Company had no additional subsequent events requiring disclosure.

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this current report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 18, 2010, Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hammond Investments, Ltd. an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Hammond”), and Capstone Special Purpose Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CSPF”) for the purchase by Registrant of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Masonry Supply Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Masonry”). Prior to the closing of the stock purchase, Hammond and CSPF (collectively, the “Shareholders”) were the owners of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”) of Masonry. In consideration for the Shares, Registrant paid to the Shareholders $1.00 per Share, or $150 in the aggregate, which was the same per share consideration paid for by Hammond and CSPF for their original purchase of the Masonry Shares.
John R. Rice III and Joseph F. Ingrassia are officers and directors of Registrant and Masonry. Mr. Rice and Mr. Ingrassia are also officers of Capstone Capital Management, Inc., the general partner of CSPF and are directors of Hammond.
As a result of the above transaction, Registrant owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of Masonry and Masonry is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Imperia Masonry Supply Corp. (the “Company” or “Imperia Masonry”) was incorporated on June 22, 2009 in the state of Delaware. The Company is a manufacturer specializing in concrete block, lightweight block, and split face block for the construction industry.

Imperia Bros., Inc. (“Imperia Bros.”) was incorporated in 1959 in the state of New York.
On December 31, 2009, Imperia Masonry began operations by acquiring substantially all of the assets and assumed the operations of Imperia Bros. through a foreclosure action by related parties.
Westchester Industrial Supply, LLC (“Westchester”), a limited liability company, was formed in 2001 in the state of New York. Westchester leased employees to Imperia Bros.
Collectively, Imperia Bros. and Westchester are referred to as the “Predecessor Companies”.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |

IMPERIA MASONRY SUPPLY CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods, and is valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Market is determined based on net realizable value with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, and other market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed primarily on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment | 2-10 Years |
Vehicles | 3-10 Years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5-10 Years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of the asset or the lease term.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company will test for impairment annually.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of value is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses have been recognized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products. Allowances, credits and other adjustments are recorded in the period the related sales occur. Customer deposits represent monies received before revenue is earned.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, advertising expenses were approximately $24,000 and $41,000, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative costs.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are recorded as part of selling expense. Such amounts approximated $151,000 and $176,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes
Imperia Masonry is treated as a “C” corporation for federal, state and local tax purposes.
Imperia Bros. has elected to be treated as an “S” Corporation for federal and state tax purposes, whereby the taxable income or loss of Imperia Bros. passes through to the individual stockholder.
Westchester has elected to be treated as a single member limited liability company for federal and state purposes, whereby the taxable income or loss of Westchester passes through to an individual member’s personal tax return.
Accordingly, Imperia Bros. and Westchester are not subject to federal and state taxes at the corporate level.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
IMPERIA MASONRY SUPPLY CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. These requirements became effective for annual financial statements beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company adopted them as of December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements.
Imperia Bros.’ and Imperia Masonry’s income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2009, and 2009, respectively, are subject to examination by federal, state and local income tax authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP has established a framework for measuring fair value that is based on a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques according to the degree of objectivity necessary. The fair value hierarchy of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three broad levels of objectivity:
| · | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| · | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| · | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. They are based on best information available in the absence of level 1 and 2 inputs. |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required by GAAP:
Cash: The carrying amount is the fair value.
Due from Factor, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments.
Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations: The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments.
IMPERIA MASONRY SUPPLY CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Related Parties
For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions or where the Company and the party are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or other entities.
In March 2005, certain parties related to Imperia Masonry (“Related Parties” or “Factor” and “Lender”) entered into a factoring and certain loan financing agreements with Imperia Bros. whereby Imperia Bros. granted these Related Parties a security interest in all of Imperia Bros.’ assets (see Notes 4 and 8). In 2009, Imperia Bros. defaulted on its loan agreement by failing to repay its indebtedness to these Related Parties. The Related Parties exercised their rights as secured lenders and foreclosed on all of the assets of Imperia Bros. and on December 31, 2009, assigned all of their rights, title, and interest in these assets to Imperia Masonry. Imperia Masonry also assumed certain of Imperia Bros.’ liabilities.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business purchase in accordance with GAAP and recorded at the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2009 as follows:
Cash | | $ | 39,536 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 108,497 | |
Inventory | | | 1,022,057 | |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | | | 40,731 | |

Capital lease obligations | | | (442,258 | ) |
Customer deposits | | | (75,087 | ) |
| | | | |
| | $ | 2,760,947 | |
The above transaction was recorded as a non-cash acquisition of net assets contributed to the Company in exchange for equity.
On March 15, 2005, Imperia Bros. entered into a factoring agreement with a related party (“Factor”). The Factor assumed credit risks for all credit approved accounts with Imperia Bros. responsible for collection on customer claims and chargebacks. Imperia Bros. paid a factoring commission of 2.5% on each invoice with maximum selling terms of no longer than net 30 days, with an additional commission of 1.25% for each 14 days, or portion thereof, by which the selling terms are extended. The factoring agreement was secured by substantially all the assets of the Imperia Bros., which were foreclosed on December 31, 2009, as per Notes 3 and 8. Imperia Masonry did not enter into a factoring agreement.
Factor fees and related costs amounted to approximately $500,000 and $222,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Employment Agreement
The President entered into an “at-will” employment agreement with Imperia Masonry commencing December 31, 2009. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $225,000 that is subject to decrease if gross sales for any 12-month period decrease by 20% or more compared to the prior twelve-month period. The President is entitled to a bonus based on a percentage of excess sales of a specified amount, and certain benefits and expense reimbursements, as defined in the agreement.
The President was granted non-qualified stock options as part of the employment agreement. The options vest over a five-year period (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% over the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversary) from December 31, 2009 at $26,800 per share. The options become fully exercisable if there is a change in control of the Company.
The agreement with the President has a non-competition and non-solicitation clause for three months and twelve month periods, respectively, after the President is no longer an employee of Imperia Masonry.
Imperia Bros. participated in two retirement plans as follows:
Profit Sharing Plan
Imperia Bros. sponsored a profit sharing plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, whereby participants (eligible non-union employees) could contribute up to 12% of their compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Code. Imperia Bros.’ matching contribution was discretionary and there was no contribution for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
On December 31, 2009, the plan sponsor was converted to Imperia Masonry. Benefits provided under the Plan after the conversion date remain substantially unchanged.

14. | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances with various banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company believes that the risk of loss is negligible. There was no uninsured cash maintained in banks as of December 31, 2009.
Accounts Receivable
Ongoing credit evaluations of customers are performed. An allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimate of the balance that will actually be collected after analyzing the credit worthiness of its customers and historical experience with them, as well as the prevailing business and economic environment. Accounts are written-off when significantly past due after all efforts of collection have been exhausted.
The Company’s sales and accounts receivable are concentrated in the construction industry. The Company’s customers are located primarily in the New York metropolitan area.
Imperia Bros. had one customer that accounted for approximately 11.1% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 and two customers that accounted for approximately 23.0% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Imperia Bros. had no concentration of its purchases with any vendors for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Imperia Bros. incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Imperia Bros. has suffered from a lack of liquidity because of the age of its plant and equipment, which are costly to maintain. These additional operating costs have been reflected in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In 2010 and 2011, it is management’s intention to raise sufficient capital to upgrade the plant and equipment, allowing the Company to be more competitive within the industry. In addition, the Company is currently implementing a plan to increase working capital. The Company is in the process of negotiating with new asset based lenders.
Management is currently seeking to raise additional equity to support the Company’s growth. Although management is confident that it will succeed in raising additional working capital and equity, there are no assurances that they will be successful in their endeavors. However, management believes that the Company will have sufficient access to working capital to sustain operations through June 30, 2011.
On January 28, 2010, the Company entered into a letter of intent to be acquired by Amincor, Inc. (“Amincor”, formerly known as Joning Corp.) (“Amincor”), a related party. Amincor is to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, upon issuance of these financial statements.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 15, 2010, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company had no material additional subsequent events requiring disclosure.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Epic Sports International, Inc. (F/K/A Klip America, Inc.) at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009, the period from September 19, 2008 through December 31, 2008 (Successor Company), and the period from January 1, 2008 through September 18, 2008 (Predecessor Company) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, the amount of impairment of long–lived assets, inventory obsolescence and the allowance for chargebacks.
Due from Factor – Related Party
The Company factors its accounts receivable with a related party (“factor”). Amounts due from the factor represent receivables carried at the amount billed to customers, net of an allowance for chargebacks and factor commissions due.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods, and is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is determined based on net realizable value with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years.
Improvements to leased premises are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease terms. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. The Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of each group of assets that generates cash flows with the estimated present value of the corresponding cash flows. If the expected present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Management has reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets and believes that there has been no impairment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the shipment of products. Allowances, credits and other adjustments are recorded in the period the related sales occur.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the tax effects of those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
GAAP requires that, in applying the liability method, the financial statement effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. These requirements became effective for annual financial statements beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company adopted them as of January 1, 2009.
EPIC SPORTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. F/K/A KLIP AMERICA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company’s income tax returns for the years ended 2006 through 2009 are subject to examination by federal, state and local tax authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required by ASC 825:
| Cash: The carrying amount is the fair value. |
| Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments. |
| Revolving Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt: The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill, which represents the cost of acquiring a business that is in excess of the net of the fair values ascribed to the identifiable assets and liabilities, is not amortized.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods they are expected to provide benefits.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the period from September 19, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and the period from January 1, 2008 to September 18, 2008 advertising expense amounted to $70,137, $22,265 and $51,048, respectively, and is included in selling expense.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of sales in the statements of operations

If the Company is in default of the agreement, the advances bear interest at a rate of 24% per annum (over a 360 day period). The Purchase Money Advances are secured by a promissory note from the Company covering the entire amount.
Additionally, under the terms of the agreement the lender may issue Letters of Credit in favor of the Company’s suppliers in order to enable the Company to acquire merchandise. The Letters of Credit bear interest at annual rates of 1.50% for the first 30 days that the Letter of Credit is outstanding and 0.75% for every 14 days thereafter that such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, net deferred tax assets were approximately $1,038,000 and $635,000, respectively resulting primarily from the future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. Under the liability method, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
The Company evaluates deferred income taxes annually to determine if the valuation allowance should be adjusted. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against the deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not realization standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency of recent income and losses, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of the statutory carryforward period. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
A valuation allowance has been established for deferred tax assets based on the Company’s evaluation, as described above, about the likelihood of realizing future tax benefits. The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |

The Company has not provided for income taxes because it has had no current taxable income and, no temporary differences that are expected to have any future income tax effects.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
The Company’s effective rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, primarily due to the effect of state and local income taxes and the impact of recording a valuation allowance to offset the potential future tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carry forwards for all years presented. The following is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Effective tax rate | | | (0.00 | )% | | | 0.00 | % |
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating losses were approximately $2,506,000. The federal net operating losses expire from the year ended 2025 through 2029. These net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, based on certain changes in ownership that have occurred, or could occur in the future.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this current report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 18, 2010, Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hammond Investments, Ltd. an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“Hammond”), and Capstone Special Purpose Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CSPF”) for the purchase by Registrant of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Baker’s Pride, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BPI”). Prior to the closing of the stock purchase, Hammond and CSPF (collectively, the “Shareholders”) were the owners of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”) of BPI. In consideration for the Shares, Registrant paid to the Shareholders $1.00 per Share, or $100 in the aggregate, which was the same per share consideration paid for by Hammond and CSPF for their original purchase of the BPI Shares.
John R. Rice III and Joseph F. Ingrassia are officers and directors of Registrant and BPI. Mr. Rice and Mr. Ingrassia are also officers of Capstone Capital Management, Inc., the general partner of CSPF and are directors of Hammond.
As a result of the above transaction, Registrant owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of BPI and BPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Registrant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended December 31, 2009 and the Period from
August 28, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008
Baker’s Pride Inc. (“Baker’s Pride”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Jefferson Street Bakery, Inc. (“Jefferson Street”) and the Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery, Inc. (“Mt. Pleasant Street”) (collectively, the “Company”) manufacture bakery food products, mainly several varieties of sliced and packaged store-brand bread for a national supermarket and its food service channels throughout the Midwest region. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 28, 2008. The Company operates its facilities in Burlington, Iowa.
On October 15, 2008, the Company assumed the operations of The Baking Company of Burlington, LLC (“TBC”) as a result of a memorandum of understanding entered into as a settlement of a petition of a foreclosure of TBC by a party related to the present stockholders.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baker’s Pride Inc. and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Jefferson Street and Mt. Pleasant Street. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories consist of purchased ingredients from third-party suppliers. Market is determined based on the net realizable value with appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of prepaid operating expenses and deposits for equipment purchases. Prepaid operating expenses are expensed in the period in which services are received.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended December 31, 2009 and the Period from
August 28, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008
Property and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful life of equipment ranges from five to seven years.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Construction in progress is not depreciated. Depreciation of the property begins when it is placed in service.
Leases
The Company leases facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements with a related party. The lease terms are for ten years with no rent incentives or escalations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Finite-lived intangible assets consist of a customer relationship, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an expected useful live of ten years.
Goodwill has an indefinite useful life which is not amortized but is subject to an annual test for impairment and more frequently in certain circumstances.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the fair value of its long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of the value is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges have been recognized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are delivered to the Company’s shipping dock, and are made available for pick-up by the customer, at which point title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for certain discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in revenues in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 and the Period from
August 28, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with using the liability method, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and measured using the current tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets or liabilities are anticipated to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance based on whether its deferred tax assets will, more likely than not, result in any future tax benefits.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the federal and state jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that, in applying the liability method the financial statements’ effects of an uncertain tax position be recognized based on the outcome that is more likely than not to occur. Under this criterion the most likely resolution of an uncertain tax position should be analyzed based on technical merits and on the outcome that will likely be sustained under examination. These requirements became effective for annual financial statements beginning after December 15, 2008 and the Company adopted them as of January 1, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions that require either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008, respectively, are subject to examination by federal and state income tax authorities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as required under GAAP:
| Cash: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the liquidity of those instruments. |
| Due from factor, due from related party, and accounts payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments. |
| Loans payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments. |

Year Ended December 31, 2009 and the Period from
August 28, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, and depreciation. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Costs of Revenue
The cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of ingredients, packaging, overhead, and labor. The overhead costs typically include depreciation, utility, sanitation, equipment lease expense, and property taxes. Labor expenses include the salaries and related expenses of production, sanitation and maintenance teams and direct supervision employees.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily include management’s payroll and related benefits, insurance, professional fees, office expenses, and travel.
Related Parties
The Company’s related parties include affiliates, stockholders, management, and other parties that can significantly influence management, operating policies or transactions in which the Company participates.
In February and July 2007, certain parties related to the Company (“Related Parties”) entered into a discount factoring and purchase order financing agreements with TBC whereby TBC granted these Related Parties a security interest in substantially all of TBC’s assets. In 2008, TBC defaulted on its loan agreement by failing to repay its indebtedness to these Related Parties. The Related Parties exercised their rights as secured lenders and filed a petition for foreclosure. In September 2008, TBC and the Related Parties executed a memorandum of understanding assigning all of the assets to the Related Parties. On October 15, 2008, the Related Parties assigned certain of these assets to the Company. The Company also assumed certain of TBC’s liabilities.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business purchase in accordance with GAAP and recorded at the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of October 15, 2008, as follows:
Inventory | | $ | 260,569 | |
Goodwill | | | 7,770,900 | |
Intangible asset | | | 7,649,000 | |
Assumed liabilities | | | (414,665 | ) |
| | | | |
| | $ | 15,265,804 | |
Assumed Liabilities
The Company assumed certain liabilities of TBC, as part of the memorandum of understanding, upon assuming operations. The liabilities assumed were for the payment of certain delinquent accounts payable and other specified liabilities. The repayments are non-interest bearing and have terms ranging in duration from 1 to 24 months. The balance of assumed liabilities is $43,799 and $308,420 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of December 31, 2009, the required and expected future payments for the assumed liabilities are as follows:

Construction in Progress
Construction in progress represents the cost of construction of a new locker not completed as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The cost includes design and construction expenditures incurred and other direct costs attributable to the construction.
5. | Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
The carrying amount of goodwill was $7,770,900 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. There have been no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2009 or during the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008.
Other intangible assets consist of the following as of December 31:

Customer relationship | | $ | 7,649,000 | | | $ | 924,254 | | | $ | 7,649,000 | | | $ | 159,354 | |
Accounting rules require that the intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, an impairment analysis was performed as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 using a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability and cash flows. As a result of the 2009 and 2008 impairment analysis, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired.

6. | Related Party Transactions |
Due from Factor
On October 15, 2008, the Company signed a discount factoring agreement with a related party (“Factor”), which shares common ownership and management with the Company’s majority shareholder, under which eligible accounts receivable will be factored. The Factor assumes credit risks for all credit-approved accounts. The Company pays a factoring fee of 2.5% of the gross amount of factored receivables for sales. The Company can request advances of up to 80% of factored accounts based on customer credit limit. Under the terms of the agreement, the factor established a reserve account which controls the activity under the agreement. The factor agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. Factor fees (inclusive of commissions and interest) amounted to $339,387 and $24,623 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008, respectively.
Loan Payable
On October 15, 2008 the Company entered into a three year purchase order financing agreement (the “Purchase Order Financing”) with a related party, with a renewal option. Upon the expiration of the agreement, the unpaid obligation balance is due and payable immediately. The annual interest rate on all advances is 16%, with the exception of overdue balances, which bear interest of 24%. For the first year of the Purchase Order Financing, the advance limit was the lesser of (i) $11,000,000 or (ii) the borrowing base for the preceding calculation period as defined in the Purchase Order Financing. The limit increases to $33,000,000 and $70,000,000 in years two and three, respectively.

Under the Purchase Order Financing, purchase money advances are to be paid directly to the supplier by a related party. Each purchase money advance is to be repaid in full on or before the earlier of 60 days from the date of the advance or the day on which any of the goods which are the subject of such advances are shipped to a buyer.
The Company is charged a cash advance guarantee fee of 1.5% on each purchase money advance for the first thirty days (or part thereof) that such purchase money advance is outstanding. A letter of credit guarantee fee of 1.5% is charged on each letter of credit for the first thirty days (or part thereof) the letter of credit is outstanding.
The Purchase Order Financing is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The related interest amounted to approximately $391,000 and $51,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008, respectively.
Amounts outstanding on the loan payable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $-0- and $74,272, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has recorded a due from related party of $1,399,946 for monies not remitted to the Company under the Purchase Order Financing.
The Company’s net deferred tax assets result primarily from the future tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards. Under the liability method, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of approximately $477,000 and $142,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets increased by approximately $335,000 and $142,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008.
The Company evaluates deferred income taxes on an annual basis to determine if the valuation allowances against deferred tax assets should be established or adjusted based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not realization standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency of recent income and losses, forecasts of future profitability, and the duration of the statutory carryforward period. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.
Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on the Company’s evaluation, as described above, about the likelihood of realizing future tax benefits. The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and the impact of recording a valuation allowance to offset the potential future tax benefit resulting from net operating loss carry forwards for all years presented. The following is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008:

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s federal net operating losses were approximately $1,510,000. The federal net operating losses expire from the years ending 2028 through 2029.

The Company incurred losses for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from August 28, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2008. In 2010 and 2011, management’s intention is to raise sufficient capital to upgrade the plant and equipment, allowing the Company to be more competitive within the industry. In addition, the Company is currently implementing a plan to increase working capital. This will allow the Company to diversify its product base, thereby improving its liquidity. The Company will continue to utilize its existing purchase order financing agreement while it negotiates with new asset-based lenders that specialize in financing commercial baking businesses.
Management is currently seeking to raise additional equity to support the growth of the Company. Although management is confident that it will succeed in raising additional working capital and equity for the Company, there are no assurances that they will be successful in their endeavors. However, management believes the Company has sufficient access to working capital to sustain operations through September 30, 2011.
