NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for SoTech, Inc. (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 March 31, 2007 and the three 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 three 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 $6,875 for the period from September 8, 2003 (inception) to March 31, 2007, has no 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 requirements 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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Nature of Operations and Going Concern (Continued)
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.
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. Since September 8, 2003, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company has a December 31 year end.
Nature of Business
The Company has no products or services as of March 31, 2007. The Company was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities consist of cash, 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 sort-term maturities of these instruments.
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.

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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006.
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.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2006 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2007 presentation.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective June 1, 2006, the company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) requiring employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award. Prior to June 1, 2006, the company accounted for awards granted to employees under its equity incentive plans under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related interpretations, and provided the required pro forma disclosures prescribed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), as amended. No stock options were granted to employees during the year ended December 31, 2006, and accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized under APB No. 25 for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. In addition, no c ompensation expense is required to be recognized under provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) with respect to employees.
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for SFAS No. 123 (R), the compensation cost recognized by the company beginning on June 1, 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not vested as of June 1, 2006, based on the grant-dated fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to June 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No, 123 (R). The company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options, or upon vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units, deferred tax assets for options and restricted stock units with multiple vesting dates are eliminated for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period was a separate award. To calculate the excess tax benefits available for use in offsetting future tax shortfalls as of the dated of implementation, the company followed the alternative transition method discussed in FASB Staff Position No. 123 (R)-3. During the year ended December 31, 2006, no stock options were granted to non-employees. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for new stock option grants in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007.

Recent Accounting Standards
In February 2006, The FASB issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This statement amends FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Statement and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The statement permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation, clarifies which interest only strips and principal are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends statement 140 to eliminate the Prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financi al instrument to a beneficial interests other than another derivative financial instrument. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect this statement to have any material effect on its financial statements.
In March 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 " Accounting for Servicing of Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB No.140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Instruments and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service an asset by entering into a servicing contract, requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair market value, permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or fair market value measurement method for subsequent measurement periods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights at its initial adoption, and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect this statement to have any material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2006 the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”. This Interpretation clarifies, among other things, the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period the Interpretation is adopted. FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Earlier application is encouraged if the
enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, in the period the Interpretation is adopted. Management is evaluating the financial impact of this pronouncement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Accounting for Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company for financial statements issued subsequent to November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the new standard to have any material impact on the financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 becomes effective in fiscal 2007. Management is evaluating the financial impact of this pronouncement.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS no, 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financials assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Generally accepted accounting principles have required different measurement attributes for different assets and liabilities that can create artificial volatility in earnings. The FASB has indicated it believes that SFAS 159 helps to mitigate this type of accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.

SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS 157 and SFA No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”SFAS 159 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 2- Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $6,080 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025. 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.

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 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a development stage company, the Company will have recurring losses during its development stage. The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses.
