Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of National Automation Services, a Nevada corporation (“Company”), have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. As used in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the "Company,” "we,” "us,” "our," and similar terms refer to National Automation Services and, unless the context indicates otherwise its consolidated subsidiaries. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.
These financial statements have been presented in accordance with the rules governing a smaller reporting company for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Business Overview
National Automation Services, Inc. serves a diverse set of industries which utilize automation systems and controls, including water valley waste and treatment facilities, entertainment, hospitality, mining, medical, and manufacturing.
The Company has strived to position itself as a leading system integrator and certified Underwriters Laboratories panel fabrication facility. The Company currently focuses on two distinct lines of business: (1) industrial automation and control and (2) automation manufacturing, which comprises the bulk of contracts that the Company currently maintains under its building contracts. The Company has subsidiaries which perform the services; one is located in Arizona named Intecon, Inc. and the other is located in Nevada named Intuitive System Solutions, Inc. The Company’s subsidiary in Nevada is currently dormant with no production, and we had a down turn in production and eventual closing of the Company’s subsidiary in Arizona. The effect of both subsidiaries is primarily due to the downturn in the market. The Company’s main focus is in acquiring additional subsidiaries in order to gain additional production. The Company’s management runs the company as one unit and does not have any business segments.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value Accounting
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
See Note 7 Fair value, for additional information.
Debt Modification
If at any time the Company is not able to pay back outstanding debt upon the maturity date, the Company actively works with the note holder to modify the terms of the agreement. All modifications to debt are evaluated for debt extinguishment as required by the Debt Topic of the FASB ASC.
NOTE 2: Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance
Issued
In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting standard on fair value measurements. The accounting standard update provides for a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting standard update changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the fair value measurement disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied prospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires the presentation of components of other comprehensive income with the components of net income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income that contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. This accounting standard update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity, and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting guidance on goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this accounting standard update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, result of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3: Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations. Although the Company has experienced recurring net losses, we had a net income of $922,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which is attributable to our write-off of Trafalgar debt per our settlement agreement with Trafalgar Capital on March 25, 2011 (for additional information see Note 5, Legal). We had an accumulated deficit of $(14,925,693) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a working capital deficiency of $(2,914,345) at September 30, 2011.
Based on the above facts, and even though we have written-off our outstanding debt, management determined that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue to seek sources of additional capital. The Company is aware of its instability, and has noted on several occasions the ability to continue as a going concern. We are in the process of correcting such instability and are actively pursuing acquisitions, which will help cure the Company’s current status. The purchases of new acquisitions will provide a new customer base and increase our regional presence in new areas of production. In acquiring new businesses we will also increase our visibility and the awareness of our Company, and our products and services. We intend to develop and implement strategies to market ongoing maintenance and service contracts to our current as well as our past customers, and we plan to package these continuing services as part of our industrial automation design and manufacturing services. We intend to implement cost reduction synergies such as centralizing procurement and estimating activities at our corporate hub using dedicated teams of trained employees, rather than having these tasks performed at our branch offices.
NOTE 4: Inventory
As of September 30, 2011, our lease with our warehouse in Arizona has been suspended until such time as we can remit the outstanding balance in full. Per the terms of the leasing agreement all of our assets at our Arizona subsidiary, including inventory, have been held by the lessor. We have allowed for the inventory value in the amount of $317,771 as of September 30, 2011 and recognized the allowance in our cost of goods sold (see note 8, Operating agreements).

The Company wrote of the remaining fixed assets from our Arizona subsidiary due to the downturn of our operations and inability to remain current on our warehouse lease. Per the terms of the ware house leasing agreement all fixed assets are to be acquired by the lessor if tenant is unable to remain in the leasing agreement and is evicted due to non-payment (see note 8, Operating agreement).
NOTE 6: Convertible notes
During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued to three individuals convertible notes for $255,000. Two notes bear interest at the rate of 20% per year and one note bears an interest rate of 40%, and all matured in six (6) months on varying dates starting with March 1, 2011.

The amount owed to Trafalgar with interest was $3,800,000.

On June 27, 2011, pursuant to the terms noted above in the litigation settlement with Trafalgar, the Company was able to file terminations of all UCC-1 encumbrances from Trafalgar. The Company cleared the ninety one (91) day requirement and did not declare bankruptcy. During the period of our litigation with Trafalgar, since our initial filing in April of 2009, the Company had spent considerable time and resources in these proceedings. Such resources placed a strain on the Company’s resources and its business plans to seek acquisitions. In the months subsequent to the settlement agreement, the Company has been in the process of re-engaging customers for business, re-tooling dormant subsidiaries, and pursuing opportunities to increasing our depleted backlog.
With the ninety one (91) days clear, the Company has engaged accounts receivables funding, and actively pursuing the acquisition of purchase order/contract financing. These financing resources will help our cash flow process and can be used to increase our organic growth (for additional information on capital see below Liquidity and Capital Resources/ Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months). Additionally, we are actively seeking acquisitions which will help us in our overall inorganic growth of the Company. We are using our existing criterion for seeking out acquisitions, this existing criteria is summarized below:
| · | Established businesses with a proven track record: We seek established businesses with a proven operating track record strong financial performance, positive operating results, established or growing contract backlogs, and/or the potential for positive operating cash flow. |
| · | Opportunity for growth of our industrial business. |
| · | Opportunity to expand into new geographical markets: We seek businesses that have an established presence in local metropolitan markets in which we have no presence and which preferably are near our existing regional footprint. |
Any additional information concerning our acquisition strategy (see Effect Strategic Acquisitions) can be found in our Audited Form 10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2010.
The Company is aware of its instability, and has noted on several occasions the ability to continue as a going concern. We are in the process of correcting such instability and as noted above and within the Liquidity and Capital Resources (noted below) and are actively pursuing acquisitions, which will help cure the Company’s current status. As of September 30, 2011, as a part of the Company’s pursuit to correct instability and due to the downturn and eventual closing of the Company’s remaining facility in Arizona, we have performed an allowance for the value on the remainder of our inventory in the amount of $317,771, and have expensed the total value to our cost of goods sold.

Operating Loss; Net Income. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, we had an decrease in revenues of $(260,949) or (78) %, and a increase in our cost of revenue $111,949, or 42% which resulted in an decrease in our gross profit by $(372,898) or (530)% to $(302,571). Additionally, our operating loss increased by $209,181 or 48%, to $(649,472). We had our net loss increase by $(268,603), or 50%, to $(808,927). We attributed the increase in our net loss primarily to the allowance of our inventory which was expensed to our cost of goods sold.
Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue decreased by $(260,949), or (78)%, to $75,481. This decrease principally was due to a decrease in (1) the number of new jobs we received and commenced, and (2) work delays on existing jobs included in our December 31, 2010 backlog of $400,000. Due to the downturn of the economy, our customers have delayed projects which decrease revenues for the Company. The Company is currently seeking other projects to increase its revenues. The decrease is also due to our closing of our subsidiary in Nevada and the downturn of our operations in Arizona.
Cost of Revenue; Gross Profit. Our cost of revenues increased by $111,949, or 42% to $378,052; our cost of revenue is comprised of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other job related costs. Our cost of revenues decreased by $205,822 or (77)% to 60,281 in relation to our decrease in revenue. However, we showed an increase in our cost of revenue due to the offset of $317,771 which was due to our allowance for inventory based upon the downturn of operations and the eventual closing of our facility in Arizona.
Operating Expenses. Although consolidated operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $(163,717), or (32) %, to $346,902, we had an operating loss of $(649,473), compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 operating expenses of $510,619 and operating loss of $(440,292).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $235,923, or (56)% to $189,011. Decrease is due to a reduction of staff.
Consulting fees. Our consulting fees, which are attributable to investor relations services, increased by $60,871 or 798%, to $68,501, as we enter into agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Professional Fees and Related Expenses. Professional fees principally represent costs accounting fees, these costs increased by $11,335, or 15%, to $89,390, the increased amount of professional fees was attributed to an increase in legal and accounting fees over the comparative period in 2010.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $44,402, or (44)%, to $144,434, which represents the convertible note interest incurred for the current three month period ending September 30, 2011.

Operating Loss; Net Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had a decrease in revenues of $(1,283,089), or (78)%, and a decrease in our cost of revenue $(892,147), or (59)% which resulted in an decrease in our gross profit by $(390,942) or (302)% to $(261,480). Additionally, our operating loss decreased by $(27,713), or 2%, to $(1,650,818). We had our net income increase by $2,947,061, or 146%, to $922,834. We attribute this significant increase to one major event which was the write-off of our debt obligation to Trafalgar per our settlement on March 25, 2011 and Border States; in the amount of $2,911,820 (see Part II Item 1- Legal proceedings.)
Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated revenue decreased by $(1,283,089), or (78)%, to $364,831. This decrease principally was due to a decrease in (1) the number of new jobs we received and commenced, and (2) work delays on existing jobs included in our December 31, 2010 backlog of $400,000. Due to the downturn of the economy, our customers have delayed projects which decrease revenues for the Company. The Company is currently seeking other projects to increase its revenues. The decrease is also due to our closing of our subsidiary in Nevada and a downturn of our operations in Arizona.
Cost of Revenue; Gross Profit. Our cost of revenues decreased by $(892,147), or (59)% to $626,311. Our cost of revenue is comprised of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other job related costs. Our cost of revenues decreased by $1,209,918 or (80)% to 308,540 in relation to our decrease in revenue. However, we showed an smaller decrease in our cost of revenue due to the offset of $317,771 which was due to our allowance for inventory based upon the downturn of operations and the eventual closing of our facility in Arizona.
Operating Expenses. Although consolidated operating expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 decreased by $363,229, or (21) %, to $1,389,338, we had an operating loss of $(1,650,818), compared to the nine months ended 2010 operating expenses of $1,752,567 and operating loss of $(1,623,105).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $419,962, or (37) % to $717,495.
Consulting fees. Our consulting fees, which are attributable to investor relations services, increased by $84,592, or 443%, to $103,667 as we entered into a consulting agreement, and did not enter into any significant agreements in the comparative period of 2010.
Professional Fees and Related Expenses. Professional fees principally represent costs for legal and accounting fees, these costs slightly decreased by $27,859, or 5%, to $568,176, the decreased amount of professional fees was incurred in conjunction with legal fees with Trafalgar and our write off of financing fees with the cancellation of our agreement with Ascendiant.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $4,160, or 1%, to $405,282, which represents the convertible note(s) interest incurred for the nine month period ending September 30, 2011.
Gain / loss on extinguishment of debt and payables. The write-off of Trafalgar debt and a write-off of rent payable increased our net income to $922,834 for the period ending September 30, 2011. This is a non-recurring, non-cash economic event.
Liquidity and Capital Resources/ Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
As stated above in our business overview, the Company has experienced a downturn in production. We noted that due to the litigation with Trafalgar and the downturn of the economy we have seen an impact in our revenues and cash flows. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, our accounts receivable were $20,738, a decrease of $286,884, or 93%. At November 14, 2011 our cash on hand was approximately $100. In addition, we have experienced insufficient cash flow resulting from much slower payments from the contractors and others for whom we work. The Company expects that receipt of payments from our customers will likely continue until such time as the Company can improve its cash flow from operations. As such we indicated in Note 3 of our reviewed financial statements management’s assessment about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2011, as a part of the Company’s pursuit to correct instability and due to the downturn of the Company’s remaining facility in Arizona, we have performed an allowance for the value on the remainder of our inventory in the amount of $317,771, and have expensed the total value to our cost of goods sold. The allowance is primarily due to our inability to pay our rent on our warehouse facility in Arizona. Per the terms of the leasing contract all assets will be turned over if the Company was forced to vacate the premises. We are currently in contact with the lessor and plan to resolve the collection or write off of our inventory.
As of March 18, 2011, the Company cancelled its agreement with Ascendiant. The Company has returned to Treasury the 70,000,000 shares of stock held in escrow and expensed the deferred financing fees in the amount of $125,000.
As of April 8, 2011, the Company has signed an agreement with Versant Capital to help in our accounts receivable factoring. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will be able to fund its working capital requirements through the sale of its outstanding accounts receivable invoices to Versant. The Company intends to use the funding proceeds to execute and perform on contracts with existing and new clients.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company entered into 2 convertible note agreements whereby the holder of the 2 notes, Asher Capital, has requested to be placed into escrow approximately 19,876,000 shares of our common stock. The escrow shares are to be held until such time as Asher converts the notes into stock. At which time the remaining balance of escrow shares will be returned to the Company.
On October 31, 2011, the Company entered into a Letter Of Intent to purchase a company. The undisclosed Cincinnati, Ohio based systems integration and controls company (until final documents are signed upon completion of due diligence and audit within 120 days) agreed to be purchased for a total of $2.25 million. This acquisition will add $3.5 to 4 million to gross revenue and approximately $500,000 in net profits to the Company.
We continue to seek sources of additional capital. The Company is aware of its instability, and has noted on several occasions the ability to continue as a going concern. We are in the process of correcting such instability and are actively pursuing acquisitions, which will help cure the Company’s current status. The purchases of new acquisitions will provide a new customer base and increase our regional presence in new areas of production. In acquiring new businesses we will also increase our visibility and the awareness of our Company, and our products and services. We intend to develop and implement strategies to market ongoing maintenance and service contracts to our current as well as our past customers, and we plan to package these continuing services as part of our industrial automation design and manufacturing services. We intend to implement cost reduction synergies such as centralizing procurement and estimating activities at our corporate hub using dedicated teams of trained employees, rather than having these tasks performed at our branch offices.
Summary of Cash Flow for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (rounded)
Our total cash decreased by approximately $133,000, or 98%, to $2,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $135,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2011 | | 2010 | |
| Net cash used by operating activities | | $ | (238,300 | ) | | $ | (398,100 | ) |
| Net cash used by investing activities | | | -- | | | | -- | |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | | | 229,500 | | | | 491,200 | |
Operating Activities
Our total cash used by operating activities decreased by $159,800, or 40% to $(238,300) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $(398,100) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The changes are due to the increase in our net income due to a write-off of the debt obligation owed to Trafalgar; we issued additional stock for services; we expensed the remaining deferred fees for the Ascendiant agreement which we cancelled in March, 2011. We have also made an allowance for our inventory in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Investing Activities
The Company had no investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 respectively.
Financing Activities
Our total cash provided for financing activities decreased by $261,700, or (53) %, to $229,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $491,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We saw a decrease in our sale of stock to investors for capital as compared to the period ending September 30, 2010.
Current Commitments for Expenditures
Our current cash commitments for expenditures are mainly operational and SEC compliance in nature. We seek to use current revenue to pay vendors for materials for contracts, for payroll, and related employment expenditures (i.e. benefits). The remaining cash is used for debt service and to remain current with any SEC filings that are required.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements and which we discussed above in this Item 2. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe our critical accounting policies are those described below.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
As required by the Receivables Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), the Company is required to use a predetermined method in calculating the current value for its bad debt on overall accounts receivable.
We estimate our accounts receivable risks to provide allowances for doubtful accounts accordingly. We believe that our credit risk for accounts receivable is limited because of the way in which we conduct business largely in the areas of contracts. Accounts receivable includes the accrual of work in process for project contracts and field service revenue. We recognize that there is a potential of not being paid in a 12 month period. Our evaluation includes the length of time receivables are past due, adverse situations that may affect a contract’s scope to be paid, and prevailing economic conditions. We assess each and every customer to conclude whether or not remaining balances outstanding need to be placed into allowance and then re-evaluated for write-off. We review all accounts to ensure that all efforts have been exhausted before noting that a customer will not pay for services rendered. The evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.
Revenue Recognition
As required by the Revenue Recognition Topic of FASB ASC, the Company is required to use predetermined contract methods in determining the current value for revenue.
Project Contracts Project revenue is recognized on a progress-basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the specified portion of the agreement, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On progress-basis contracts, revenue is not recognized until this criteria is met. The Company generally seeks progress-based agreements when a job project takes longer than 30 days to complete.
Service Contracts Service revenue is recognized on a completed project basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the services, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On service contracts, revenue is not recognized until the services have been performed. The Company generally seeks service based agreements when project based contracts have been completed.
In all cases, revenue is recognized as earned by the Company. Though contracts may vary between a progress-basis and completed project basis, as the client becomes liable to the Company for services provided, as defined in the agreement, the client is then invoiced and revenue is accordingly recognized and recorded. The Company does not recognize or record any revenues for which it does not have a legal basis for invoicing or legally collecting.
Potential Derivative Instruments
We periodically assess our financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares.
We have determined that the conversion features of our debt instruments are not derivative instruments because they are conventional convertible debt.
Fair Value Accounting
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Debt Modification
If at any time the Company is not able to pay back outstanding debt upon the maturity date, the Company actively works with the note holder to modify the terms of the agreement. All modifications to debt are evaluated for debt extinguishment as required by the Debt Topic of the FASB ASC.
Stock-Based Compensation
As required by the Stock-based Compensation Topic of FASB ASC, transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services is accounted for using authoritative guidance for stock based compensation. This guidance also addresses transactions in which the Company incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
If the Company issues stock for services which are performed over a period of time, the Company capitalizes the value paid in the equity section of the Company’s financial statements as it’s a non-cash equity transaction. The Company accretes the expense to stock based compensation expense on a monthly basis for services rendered within the period.
We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Schoels model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
If shares are issued for services to be performed over a period by a vendor, we capitalize the value paid and amortize the expense in association with services actually rendered.
Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President/Secretary, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our officers concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has been implementing control procedures to mitigate our internal control issues which could have a material impact on our financial reporting procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has ineffective controls over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported appropriately. The Company has been working towards clearing ineffective financial reporting controls and disclosures to implement proper internal controls over financial reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of our financial statements; |
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and |
| provide reasonable assurance that transactions pertaining to stock issuances are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that the stock issuances are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors. |
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and as of the end of the period ending September 30, 2011, the Company feels that it is working towards clear disclosures and implementing proper internal controls over financial reporting. Our controls have since been updated in order to prevent the issues surrounding our material weakness and management feels that, moving forward, our controls over financial reporting will reduce the potential impact of material misstatements.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Change in internal control over financial reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period ending September 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
On March 25, 2011, the Company signed a settlement agreement with Trafalgar whereby the pending litigation between both parties was settled out of court. The terms of the agreement dismissed all litigation against Trafalgar, to settle all debt owed to Trafalgar, the dismissal of all litigation against NAS and its subsidiaries and certain directors as well as the release of all liens and encumbrances on NAS assets in the UCC-1 filings held by Trafalgar. The following is the terms of settlement with Trafalgar: (i) a payment of $300,000 was paid on March 25, 2011 per the terms of the agreement; (ii) an executed promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 payable within 6 months from the settlement date of March 25, 2011, and accruing interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) simple interest per annum; (iii) a total of 7,645,821 shares of NAS common stock shares issued to the Trafalgar on April 6, 2011; (iv) NAS shall provide to Trafalgar a Rule 144 opinion letter in the form acceptable to the both parties, if necessary and/or applicable; and (v) an exchange of mutual unconditional and irrevocable general releases and dismissals of all claims, disputes, liens, encumbrances, defenses between the parties through the settlement agreement date of March 25, 2011. Trafalgar is to deliver to the NAS appropriate releases of all liens and encumbrances including, without limitation, all UCC liens within 91 days of the settlement date of March 25, 2011, providing that NAS does not enter into bankruptcy within the 91 days. The amount owed to Trafalgar with interest was $3,800,000.
