Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collectability of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation, and litigation contingencies, among others.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of Safe Technologies International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Total Micro Computers, Inc., Connect.ad, Inc., Connect.ad Services, Inc. and Internet Associates International, Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the related service has been provided, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from recurring backup, hosting, and monitoring services. The Company recognizes revenue for these services as they are provided, beginning on the date that the customer commences use of our services and continuing over the term of the customer contract. Revenue from other professional services, including setup and direct installation activities are recognized in the period the services are provided. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and either deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Therefore, deferred rev enue consists of amounts that have been prepaid and services have not yet been rendered. Revenue from the sale of bundled infrastructure hardware is recognized at the time installation is complete.
Net loss per common share
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented, excluding unvested restricted stock awards subject to cancellation. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, potential common shares arising from the Company’s outstanding stock options amounting to 6,750,000 shares are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was antidilutive.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in the bank as cash and considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of risk
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from IT services and cloud-based online data backup and disaster recovery services , the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in customer buying behavior could adversely impact our operating results. A significant amount of our revenues are currently generated from a small group of customers. The loss of any of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. However, we feel that any dependence on a single or few customers will not adversely affect our business strategy because although we have introduced our current products and services, the marketing of our products and services, through on-line and direct methods have only recently commenced in July 2010. As a result, w e continue to build our customer base and are targeting a wide base of potential new customers. As we broaden our customer base, any sales concentration with any one established customer will be diminished in proportion to the number of new customers and resulting sales. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk are principally in accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews the credit quality of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company relies on equipment and software purchased from third parties to provide its hosting services. This equipment and software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms to meet our business needs. Any errors or defects in third party equipment and software could result in errors or a failure of our service, which could harm our business. Indemnification from equipment and software providers, if any, would likely be insufficient to cover any damage to our business or our customers resulting from such failures.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the asset of five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
Share-based compensation
The Company records compensation expense for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. For share options to certain officers and others, the Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant dates for stock option awards issued. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the fair value of our common stock, expected term, the expected volatility, and certain present values. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, stock based compensation expense was $9,168 and $27,504, respectively. The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $1,821 during the three an d nine months ended September 30, 2009. There were no stock options granted, exercised or forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Income taxes
The Company adopted the new accounting for uncertainty in income taxes guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption of that guidance did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2010. The Company’s U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year December 31, 2006 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes and loan payables is determined using current applicable rates which approximate market rates of such debt.
Recently issued accounting standards
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” updating ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” This standard provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue ar rangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, of its adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” This guidance changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The amendments in this guidance are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15 , 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which clarifies certain existing requirements in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which clarifies certain existing evaluation and disclosure requirements in ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” related to subsequent events. FASB ASU 2010-09 requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued and is effective immediately.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 08-9, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.” The amendments to the Codification provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substan tive and nonsubstantive milestones, and each milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply 2010-17 retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts. This ASU updates the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM for the SEC Staff Announcement, Accounting for the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This announcement provides guidance on the accounting effect, if any, that arises from the different signing dates between the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which is a reconciliation bill that amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (collectively the "Acts"). This application of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has a net capital deficiency and is currently unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. A major stockholder of the Company has been funding, and continues to fund at his discretion, the Company’s operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management has introduced new commerce into the Company including a full suite of hosting services and solutions aimed at small and mid-sized businesses that they believe will meet their unique IT needs. The Company is also contemplating expanding operations and market presence by entering into business combinations, investments or alliances with third parties.

NOTE 10. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s Compensatory Stock Plan, which became effective on July 20, 2009, provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock grants and stock awards. The plan is designed for select employees, officers, directors and key consultants to the Company and is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing personnel who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of the Company with additional incentive by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company. The plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, and authorized the issuance of awards and grants not to exceed a total of 10,000,000 shares. In April 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the shares available under the plan to a total of 20,000,000 shares. Company Stock options expire ten years from the date the option is granted and the Board in its discretion may provide that the option shall be exercisable throughout the ten-year period or during any lesser period of time commencing on the date of grant. The specific terms of any awards under the plan are determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no options may be granted at less than the fair market value of the stock as of the date of the grant. The plan terminates on the tenth anniversary of the effective date.
In August 2009, the Company issued to its President, options to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $ 0.015 valued at $87,394 as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

OVERVIEW
Safe Technologies International Inc. is a technology solutions company that specializes in providing managed technology solutions that are provided on an outsourced, rapidly-deployed, fixed-cost basis to small and medium sized businesses. Our Strategic Data Support (“SDS”) brand provides customizable solutions that create significant cost efficiencies, dependable network functionality and complete redundancy through our disaster recovery facilities. We use state of the art, web-based and proprietary technology to be a low cost acquirer and provider of products and services to our customers. The Company is driven to earn client trust by providing superior service embodied in a total commitment to relentless support and uncompromising standards, to differentiate us from our competitors and enable us to gain market share in today’s constrained spending environment. Our goal is to help organizations define and execute technology solutions to deliver a simpler, more cost effective solution to meet their unique IT needs through affordable, predictable expenses that can be purchased via operational rather than typically more expensive capital budgets. We possess a broad range of skills that equip us to deliver not just any solution, but the right solution.
We believe that the software as a service (SaaS), security, cloud-based storage and systems management markets are converging as businesses increasingly seek a unified, single-source solution to manage their most valuable asset – their information. We help businesses ensure that their information and infrastructures are protected, managed easily, and controlled automatically.
As reported in 2009, the Company has substantially enhanced its business plan to become a technology solutions provider to small and midsized businesses. Internally generated cash flows continue to be insufficient to support business operations or capital expenditures. Our ability to generate cash depends on our financial performance, general economic conditions, technology trends and developments, and other factors. Until we generate significant new revenues, we will continue to operate at a loss and be dependent on stockholder loans to fund all operating shortfalls. On August 17, 2010, we entered into a $5 million Equity Line of Credit Facility with Kodiak Capital Group. LLC (the “Equity Facility”). We expect that if the Company is successful in the execution of this strategy, the proceeds available to us from the Equit y Facility will replace our dependence on shareholder loans until we can become cash flow positive.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the related service has been provided, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from recurring hosting services. The Company recognizes revenue for these services as they are provided, beginning on the date that the customer commences our services and continuing over the term of the customer contract. Revenue from other professional services, including setup and direct installation activities are recognized in the period the services are provided. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and either deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Therefore, deferred revenue consists of amounts that h ave been prepaid and services have not yet been rendered. Revenue from the sale of bundled infrastructure hardware is recognized at the time installation is complete.
Share-based compensation
The Company records compensation expense for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For share options to certain officers and others, the Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant dates for stock option awards issued. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the fair value of our common stock, expected term, the expected volatility, and certain present values.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2010 were $57,818 as compared to $4,327 for the same period of 2009. Similarly, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $96,819 and $6,957 for same period of 2009. The increase in revenues was primarily related to (a) the launch in April 2010, of the Company’s product line including online backup and disaster recovery services, monitoring analytics, and remote support solutions (b) technical services fees charged to new customers in 2010, and (c) the sale of bundled infrastructure hardware to customers. Revenue growth from quarter to quarter during 2010 was 46% for the first quarter 2010 as compared to the fourth quarter 2009, 31% for the second quarter 2010 as compared to the first quarter 2010 and 162% for the third quarter 2010 as compared to the second quarter 2010. The revenue of $57,818 during the three months ended September 30, 2010, consisted primarily of bundled infrastructure hardware and equipment (48%) which was required to support a customer’s business infrastructure and the bundled technical support services (40%) provided in connection with assisting our customers in getting maximum value from our service offerings, as well as assessing, developing, implementing and managing solutions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenue of $96,819 consisted primarily of bundled technical support services for on-going operational support (39%) and bundled infrastructure hardware and equipment (36%). A broad classification of our sales would appear as follows:
| | three months ended September 30, 2010 | | | nine months ended September 30, 2010 | |
Bundled technical support services | | $ | 20,762 | | | $ | 37,769 | |
Bundled infrastructure hardware | | | 27,549 | | | | 34,856 | |
Standard products and services | | | 9,507 | | | | 24,194 | |
Total | | $ | 57,818 | | | $ | 96,819 | |
Cost of operations increased by $34,496 from $7,455 to $41,951 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, cost of operations was $67,446 and $13,077 respectively, which is an increase of $54,369. The total cost of operations for the nine months of 2010 consists primarily of $32,147 in leased equipment and related hosting and software charges in connection with our data centers and $31,869 in hardware costs incurred in connection with certain technical services performed for new customers. During 2009, the cost of operations exceeded revenues throughout the year. This condition, however, was reversed in 2010 as the significant revenue growth continued and gross profits emerged as a result of a favorable sales mix, weighted primarily by technical support services. Gross profit was 28% and 30%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our monthly contract hosting charges continue to be fully charged to cost of sales until such time as minimum volumes are achieved and the costs will then commence to be fully scaled with revenues, to the extent of and subject to any offsets caused by volumes in lower margin products. In so doing, the Company is poised for future growth without a compromise to its service level commitment. To mitigate the minimum volume component to costs of sales, the Company, at times aligns customer revenue commitments for the related services.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $34,114 from $148,852 to $182,966 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, SG&A expenses were $395,258 as compared to $205,719 for the same period of 2009. During the three and nine months ended September 30 2010, payments to the Company’s officers were $43,662 and $127,062, respectively, comprising the largest element of SG&A expense. Payments to the Company’s officers started in the October and November of 2009 and, accordingly, there were no such payments during the first nine months of 2009. Additionally, officer stock options being expensed over the vesting periods in the amounts of $9,168 and $27,504 were charg ed to SG&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, with no such expense incurred during the same periods in 2009.
Other significant SG&A expense elements during the first nine months of 2010 were investor relations ($42,325) accounting ($41,215) , legal ($40,302), rent expense ($27,316) , continuing development costs ($14,537), public filing and reporting and transfer agent fees ($13,890), and sales salary ($13,880).
Accounting fees were $13,138 and $41,215 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $6,133 and $16,428 for the same periods in 2009.

During September 2010, certain one-time accounting and legal fees were incurred in relation to the preparation of the Company’s filing of the Form S-1 Registration Statement on September 22, 2010. This SEC filing was required in connection with the Equity Facility provided by Kodiak Capital LLC. Such accounting fees were $4,798 and the legal fees were $17,997.
Rent expense for the Company’s offices for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was $9,266 and $27,316, respectively, as compared to $5,920 and $7,899 for the same period in 2009. On June 30, 2010, the current lease agreement was automatically renewed for a successive twelve month period, commencing July 1, 2010.
In September 2010, we signed a consulting agreement with Grandview Advisors Holding Corp and a consulting agreement with Sepod II LLC, pursuant to which, each of those companies are to provide investor and public relations services for a period of six months commencing September 7, 2010. In connection with the two agreements, we issued 10,000,000 shares to each company, with a total valuation of $184,714 for the 20,000,000 shares. Of this valuation, $24,358 was charged to September investor relations expense, and the balance will be allocated monthly for the duration of the six month contract. In addition to the stock issued, the agreements require a total cash payment of $22,500, payable within the first three months of the agreements. The cash portion of the investor relation fees is also being allocated over the term of the contract, with $2,967 being charged to September’s investor relations expense. These engagements were predicated upon the Company’s endeavors to initiate a public awareness of its restructuring and new business plan, the Company’s e-commerce capabilities and related new product offerings.
Public filing and transfer agent fees were $5,484 and $13,890 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. These fees were $8,082 and $20,951 for the same three and nine month periods in 2009. Of the 2009 expense, $9,800 was incurred in June 2009 in connection with a proxy statement issued to shareholders, related to the restructuring of the Company.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, product or web related development costs were $4,370. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, development costs were $4,590 and $14,537, respectively. Included in these costs are numerous software as a service (SaaS) subscriptions, program and project scoping fees, CRM software costs, and web design and customization fees.
As previously reported, on August 31, 2009, $2,169,742 in loans plus accrued interest was converted into 180,811,840 shares of common stock of the Company. All of these loans were from principal stockholder Franklin Frank and his affiliates. Subsequent to this conversion, between September 1, 2009 and May 14, 2010, additional principal loans of $261,764 were received by the Company from Franklin Frank. On May 14, 2010 this principal amount plus accrued interest of $6,349, totaling $268,113 was converted into 18,775,435 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to this and as of September 30, 2010, the principal amount of loans due to stockholder Franklin Frank was $155,000 with accrued interest at an annual rate of 8% totaling $2,566. As a result of these conversions, our interest expense was dramatically decreased beginning in September 2009, and after the conversion in May 2010. The resulting reduction in interest expense in 2010, as compared to 2009, will continue going forward, to the extent that significant new borrowings are not required or, if so, are later converted. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $7,766 as compared to $157,414 for the same period of 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $14,967 and a working capital deficit of $158,974, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $6,032 and a working capital deficit of $114,403 as of December 31, 2009. The working capital deficit at the end of both periods is primarily due to the current classification of the stockholder loan balances of $155,000 at September 30 2010 and $92,764 at December 31, 2009.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We used cash of $312,225 for operating activities during the first nine months of 2010. Operating cash used for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $110,149. Cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2010 was $2,840, which was for the purchase of computer equipment. There was no cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting entirely of stockholder loans, was $324,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Stockholder loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $109,600. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our sources of cash were net revenues of $96,819 and the stockholder loans indicated above. Accordingly, the Company continues to incur operating losses (loss before interest expense) as it endeavors to continue to build upon the growth achieved to date. The operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $167,099 as compared to $151,980 for the same period in 2009. The operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $365,885 as compared to $211,839 for the same period in 2009.
On August 17, 2010, we entered into an Investment Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC. Pursuant to the agreements, Kodiak has committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over thirty-six months (the “Equity Facility”). The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Kodiak under the Investment Agreement will be determined by the purchase prices for the common stock, as determined under the terms of the Investment Agreement.
Internally generated cash flows continue to be insufficient to support business operations or capital expenditures. Our ability to generate cash depends on our financial performance, general economic conditions, technology trends and developments, and other factors. Until we generate significant new revenues, we will continue to operate at a loss and be dependent on stockholder, Franklin Frank, to fund all operating shortfalls, including our continuing investment in e-commerce, program development and officer compensation. We expect that the proceeds available from the Equity Facility will replace our dependence on shareholder loans until we can become cash flow positive.
There can be no assurance that our cash flow will increase in the near future from anticipated new business activities, or that revenues generated from our existing operations will be sufficient to allow us to continue to pursue new customer programs or profitable ventures.

Not required for smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation included reviews of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our President, as Principal Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we disclosed that we had identified two material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting in that we had not obtained an independent review of our treatment of complex accounting transactions, and we had an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures by segregating duties. To mitigate these weaknesses, we engaged a third party professional with knowledge and experience related to SEC Reporting and internal controls over financial reporting. Management has determined that the previously reported material weaknesses have been mitigated based on the following:
· | We engaged a third party professional to review all of our external reporting for compliance with SEC and US GAAP requirements. After several weeks with this process in place, management concluded that it no longer had any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses related the preparation of external financial reports. |
· | We utilized the expertise of the external professional to assess and improve our system of internal controls to enable us to achieve adequate segregation of duties with limited personnel, as management determined that mitigation by hiring of additional personnel would not be cost effective. We have enhanced our processes and documented various mitigating controls to reduce the severity of our lack of segregation of duties to less than a material weakness. |
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
