NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for SoTech, Inc. (formerly a development stage company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and the nine months then ended, reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of the operations for all nine months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that Sotech, Inc. (hereto referred to as the “Company”) will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $(51,662) for the period from September 8, 2003 (inception) to September 30, 2009 has minimal revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding a merger candidate and the pursuit of business opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requir ements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a “going concern”
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia on September 8, 2003 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign private business. During the period September 8, 2003 to January 7, 2009, the Company was in the development stage, and had not commenced planned principal operations. The Company entered into an asset assignment agreement (effective January 7, 2009) to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of NB Telecom, Inc., a Nevada corporation. See Note 7. The Company has a December 31 year end.
Nature of Business
The Company was initially organized for the purpose of seeking a merger or acquisition candidate. In January, 2009 the Company acquired certain assets consisting primarily of payphones. See Note 7. The Company is now in the business of providing the use of indoor and outdoor payphones, and providing telecommunication services.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its primary revenue from the sources described below. This would include; dial-around revenue, coin collection, and telephone service for payphone customers. Other revenue generated by the company includes commission from use of operator services.
Coin revenue is recorded in an equal amount to the coins collected. Commission revenue from the use of Operator Services are realized on a monthly basis when received. Dial Around revenue is earned when a customer uses the Company’s payphone to gain access to a different long distance carrier than is already programmed into the phone. The Dial Around revenue is recognized when the billing and collection agent of the Company, APCC, calculates and compensates the Company for the use of the payphone on a quarterly basis by billing the actual party’s long distance carrier that received the calls. The date of the Dial Around revenue recognition is determined when this compensation is collected and deposited into the Company’s bank account.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition (Continued)
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) number 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 clarifies application of U. S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue transactions. The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. That is, when the arrangements of the goods are documented, the pricing becomes final and collectibility is reasonably assured. An allowance for bad debt is provided based on estimated losses. For revenue received in advance for goods, the Company records a current liability classified as either deferred revenue or customer deposits. As of September 30, 2009, there was no deferred revenue.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. Bad debt reserves are maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has determined an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, accounts receivable, equipment, and accounts payable. Except as otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $123 and $7 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively, all of which was fully covered by federal depository insurance.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No.109 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable consists of Local Service revenue and Commission Revenue. The Accounts Receivable was $3,611 as of September 30, 2009.
Fixed Assets and Other Assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost. The Company acquired 96 payphones valued at $4,320 on January 7, 2009 in an Asset Assignment Agreement. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were $1,080 and $0 respectively for both periods. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:
| | |
Asset | | Rate |
| | |
Payphone Equipment | | 3 years |
| | |
Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required 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 those estimates.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Intangible Assets
As part of the asset acquisition of NB Telecom, Inc. effective January 7, 2009, the company acquired intangible assets of $33,887. Of that amount $9,150 has been assigned to the value of phone equipment locations, which are subject to amortization. The phone equipment location intangible asset has an estimated useful life of 5 years, with no salvage value, that is amortized on straight-line basis quarterly. Goodwill of $24,737, which is not subject to amortization, arose in connection with the acquisition.
The following is a summary of non-goodwill intangibles as of September 30, 2009:
| |
| September 30, |
| 2009 |
Intangibles subject to amortization: | |
Phone equipment locations | $ 9,150 |
Amortization of non-goodwill intangible assets as of September 30, 2009 | (1,373) |
Net non-goodwill intangible assets as of September 30, 2009 | $ 7,777 |
Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually. During 2009, no impairment loss has been recognized.

Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. During 2009, no goodwill impairment loss has been recognized.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. This statement, would impact the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non-wholly owned business acquired in the future.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Recent Accounting Standards (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”. SFAS 141(R) provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 14 1(R) is not permitted.
In March 2008, the FASB issued No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. (“SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. This statement did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $26,662 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2028. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry-forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed using the federal US statutory income tax rate as follows:
| | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Provision (Benefit) at US Statutory Rate | | $ 1,450 | | $ 1,638 |
Increase (Decrease) in Valuation Allowance | | (1,450) | | (1,638) |
| | $ - - | | $ - |
The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income.
NOTE 3 – UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008. In many cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities.
With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of January 1, 2009:
