NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2008 included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. The financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the valuation of derivatives, equity instruments such as options and warrants, and the percentage of completion related to construction contracts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
Customers
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, one customer made up zero and 71%, respectively, of all revenues from water treatment royalties. The loss of this customer could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Vendors
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, 50% of the equipment used to generate water treatment revenues was manufactured by one vendor. The loss of this vendor could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Inventory
At September 30, 2008, the Company had inventory consisting of chemicals, flavorings, and bottles related to the OC Energy Drink, Inc. segment of the Company. Inventory is valued at cost in the amount of $77,596. Inventory is recorded at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable market value.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving effect to dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt. The following is a summary of outstanding securities which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

Note 2 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, has limited revenues, incurred an operating loss before income taxes of $1,163,674 and used cash from operations of $375,155. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,292,255. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing and ultimately achieving profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company funded operations through equity offerings. The Company does not have any commitments or assurances for additional capital. In addition, during the second quarter the Company announced it intention to sell the OC Energy subsidiary. However, the Company is no longer actively looking for a buyer due to the testing of the product with a potential customer. Thus, the assets and liabilities of OC Energy have been included in continuing operations. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company commenced discussions to potentially sell its only existing water treatment plant to generate cash to continue operations. All discussions are preliminary, an offer has not been received, nor has the Company made a formal determination that the water treatment plant will be held for sale. There can be no assurance that the revenue from the sale of the plant will be sufficient for the Company to achieve profitability in its operations, and it is possible that additional equity or debt financing may be required to continue as a going concern. Without such additional capital, there is some doubt as to whether the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company estimates the current cash reserves are expected to fund operations through Q3 of fiscal 2009.
RG GLOBAL LIFESTYLES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities, which might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Note 3 – Property and Equipment
Property and equipment as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 consisted of the following:
| | September 30, 2008 | | March 31, 2008 | |
Water treatment plant | | $ | 3,016,261 | | $ | 3,016,261 | |
Office equipment, computer software, and furniture and fixtures | | | 64,175 | | | 57,974 | |
Accumulated depreciation | | | (322,281 | ) | | (13,351 | ) |
Total | | $ | 2,758,155 | | $ | 3,060,884 | |
During the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $308,930 and $2,004, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s water treatment plant was semi operational due to the outflow pond needing repairs from a wash out from a burst pipe and the required ongoing draining. The Company is currently addressing the issue. Due to the delays in production and current market conditions, management believes it should evaluate the carrying value of its water treatment plant and Catalyx technology to determine if an impairment is necessary. Management expects to complete the analysis during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes asset retirement costs under SFAS 143 in the period in which they are incurred. Under a water treatment contract with a customer, the Company’s owns the building and equipment but does not own the land. At the term of the contract, the Company is required to return the land to its original condition. At September 30, 2008, the balance of the Company’s asset retirement obligation was $70,000.
Note 4 – Catalyx Technology
The Company entered into a series of agreements with Catalyx Fluid Solutions, Inc. (“Catalyx”) pursuant to which the Company acquired certain technology, know-how, and patent rights related to water treatment for use in the oil and gas industry. In addition, per the terms of the acquisition agreement the initial $200,000 paid will be offset against future royalties of $0.01 per barrel of water treated and 5% of equipment sold based on the Catalyx technology. Royalties earned by Catalyx during the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 were $4,566 and were offset against the prepaid.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with "Selected Financial Data" and our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under "Risk Factors" in our prior SEC filings and elsewhere in this quarterly report.
OVERVIEW
During the past year RG Global Lifestyles management has prepared the company for a transition that would generate revenue without the heavy cash requirements that have currently inhibited the growth of the company. In transitioning from a build/own/operate (B/O/O) business model, for their CBM water treatment process, to that of strategic licensing, RG Global Lifestyles will be able to move from competing in the CBM water treatment business, to a supporting partner of new technology; to some of the largest names in the industry. This move has allowed management to refocus the company’s direction through advanced research and development for strategic acquisitions of both technology and synergistic partners. This enhanced business model will benefit the company and its shareholders through diversification as well as an ability to compete globally through responsible principles of Sustainable Development.
RG Global Lifestyles
RG Global Lifestyles is a company dedicated to responsible resource utilization through the strategic balance of Environmental, Societal and Economic growth. We will achieve this through advanced research and development for strategic acquisitions of both technology and synergistic partners. The benefit will be to our shareholders, the longevity of our planet and future generations through the protection and refinement of our most valuable resources.
With strategic partnerships, through prominent global manufacturers and distributors, we have access to a worldwide distribution network. We have assembled a successful management team with a marketing history and expertise to develop and bring our cutting edge technology to market.
Catalyx Fluid Solutions (CFS) Technology:
RG Global Lifestyles Inc., through its wholly-owned division Catalyx Fluid Solutions, has patented technology developed for use in reclamation of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) discharge water. Our technology allows us to reduce the environmental impact of CBM mining and process the discharged water directly into local streams and rivers; at a significant savings compared to other technologies currently being utilized in this industry. The end result is a technology that solves a major environmental issue while providing a tremendous economic advantage in the CBM industry.
CBM is the fastest growing alternative energy sector. CBM gas is processed though the removal of trapped gas located between the coal and water table. The gas is pumped out at very low operating cost, with a very high purity level. The only restricting factor has been the disposal or processing of the discharge water that is perpetually produced as a byproduct of the CBM gas extraction. By 2010 experts expect there to be more than 50,000 wells in Wyoming alone. Each well produces an average of 6.2 million gallons of discharge water per year.
OC Energy
OC Energy receives global brand recognition through “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” a syndicated TV show on the Bravo Network, which airs in over 114 countries around the world. Even with this benefit, OC Energy has still been unable to compete with the endless marketing budgets of the Energy Drink leaders. These budgets combined with the growth of the energy shot industry have resulted in OC Energy redirecting its focus on the energy shot market. This refinement of the product line will minimize the future financial and resource impacts on RG Global lifestyles while increasing the possibility for the sale of OC Energy.
Recently the “OC Energy Shot+” was launched in a major Drug Store Chain. Energy Shots have several key advantages over traditional energy drinks. With a 2oz. shot, you get the same amount of energy as an entire 8oz. can. This increased potency means less liquid that needs to be ingested, which has an appeal to a variety of professionals. Truck drivers can travel longer without restroom breaks, doctors can pound a quick shot between patients, and the busy office professional can get help through their afternoon slump. Energy shots have nightlife appeal as well. Shots can be used straight or easily added to a drink, providing just the right boost to keep the night going. Their convenient size allow them to be transported easily in a purse or pocket, something not possible with regular energy drinks. It is clear that energy shots are the next big player in the beverage industry.
Because the Company has a controlling interest in OC Energy Drink, Inc., its results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The percentage of equity interest that is not owned by the Company is shown as "Minority interest in subsidiary" in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. The change in value of the minority interest in subsidiary is reflected as other income in the attached consolidated statements of operations.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007.
The following table summarizes the results of continuing operations and balance sheet amounts of the Company for the periods and dates shown:

REVENUES
| | For the quarter ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Revenues | | $ | 6,851 | | $ | 537,644 | | $ | (530,793 | ) | | (99 | )% |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, revenue associated with the Company's energy drink sales accounted for 100% of its total revenues. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s primary source of revenues was sales of its water treatment technology, which accounting for $469,049 of total revenue. The decrease in water treatment sales as compared to the same period in 2007 was resulted from the Company shutting down the Yates plant after its first initial operation to make adjustments and modifications deemed necessary to reduce unexpected amounts of residual waste produced in the outflow pond during the filtration of the waste water. The decrease in energy drink revenues was due to redirecting the company focus from energy drinks to energy shot market. This refinement resulted in an increase to the inventory costs that were required to re-launch the product into a major drug chain.
GROSS PROFIT (LOSS)
| | For the quarter ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Gross profit (loss) | | $ | (212,029 | ) | $ | 46,124 | | $ | (258,153 | ) | | (560) | % |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, gross profit (loss) associated with the Company's water treatment technology was $(215,227) and the gross profit from OC Energy Drink products was $3,198. The resulting loss During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company was due primarily to its inability to operate the plant at full capacity because of the excessive amounts of waste water produced by the plant in the outflow pond. Included in its cost of sales were labor costs and depreciation expense of approximately $215,227. The lower profit level from the OC Energy drink line was the result of costs associated with eliminating the existing line, its related inventory, and re-launching the reformulated energy shot. The gross profit from the Company’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from deferred revenue recorded on the Black Diamond project and profitable sales of its OC Energy Drink products.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
| | For the quarter ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Total Operating Expenses | | $ | 846,025 | | $ | 1,301,162 | | $ | (455,137 | ) | | (35) | % |
Total operating expenses include management and administrative personnel costs (including non-cash stock-based compensation), corporate office costs, accounting fees, legal expense, information systems expense, and product marketing and sales expense. The decrease in total operating expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in stock-based compensation.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
| | For the quarter ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Other Income (Expense) | | $ | (105,620 | ) | $ | 2,956,535 | | $ | (3,062,155 | ) | | (103.6) | % |
The decrease in other income during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from reduced interest expense for notes converted to stock in 2007, a reduction in the change in the fair value of common stock issued in connection with convertible notes in 2007 and a reduction in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in 2007.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007.

During the six months ended September 30, 2008, royalty revenue associated with the Company's water treatment technology accounted for 71% of its total revenues. This revenues related solely to the treatment and purification of approximately 450,000 barrels of waste water at the Yates plant. The Company recorded $36,469 in sales of OC Energy Drink products during the six months presented. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s primary source of revenues was sales of its water treatment technology, which accounting for $678,208 of total revenue. The decrease in water treatment sales was due to one of the Company’s current customers (Black Diamond Energy) request that the construction of its plant be delayed until it could obtain additional funding. In addition, the Company shut down the Yates plant after its first initial operation to make adjustments and modifications deemed necessary to reduce unexpected amounts of residual waste produced in the outflow pond during the filtration of the waste water. The decrease in energy drink revenues was due to a lack of sales at OC Energy resulting from its inability to market the product or obtain any contracts to place its products with retailers.

| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Gross profit (loss) | | $ | (339,480 | ) | $ | 72,596 | | $ | (412,076 | ) | | (568) | % |
During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, gross profit (loss) associated with the Company's water treatment technology was $(342,861) and the gross profit from OC Energy Drink products was $3,381. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company was unable to operate the plant at full capacity. Included in its cost of sales were labor costs and depreciation expense of approximately $433,280. The lower profit level from the OC Energy drink line was the result of costs associated with eliminating the existing line, its related inventory, and re-launching the reformulated energy shot. The gross profit from the Company’s results for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result from deferred revenue recorded on the Black Diamond project and profitable sales of its OC Energy Drink products.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES
| | For the six months ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Total Operating Expenses | | $ | 2,273,824 | | $ | 2,680,047 | | $ | (406,223 | ) | | (15 | )% |
Total operating expenses include management and administrative personnel costs (including non-cash stock-based compensation), corporate office costs, accounting fees, legal expense, information systems expense, and product marketing and sales expense. The decrease in total operating expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in stock-based compensation..
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
| | For the six months ended September 30, | | Increase/(Decrease) | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | $ | | % | |
Other Income (Expense) | | $ | (147,582 | ) | $ | 2,466,878 | | $ | (2,614,460 | ) | | (106) | % |
The decrease in other income during the six months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2007 resulted primarily from reduced interest expense for notes converted to stock in 2007, a reduction in the change in the fair value of common stock issued in connection with convertible notes in 2007and a reduction in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities in 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. The report of our independent auditors contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses and negative cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from product sales and construction contracts, and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities. In addition to funding operations, the Company’s principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs have been, and are expected to be, the debt service requirements of its notes payable, capital expenditures and general corporate expense expenses. In addition, as its sales and operations continue to increase, the Company anticipates significant increases in purchases of equipment for the construction of plants utilizing the CFS Technology. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,572, accounts payable of $1,224,634, accrued liabilities of $998,585 and notes payable outstanding of $1,110,193.
The Company believes that cash expected to be generated from the issuance of debt and equity securities will be sufficient to fund its operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements through December 31, 2008. The Company will need to continue a focused program of capital expenditures to effectuate its CFS Technology project constructions and OC Energy drink production capacity expansion. In order to fund capital expenditures or increase working capital above the current plan, or complete any acquisitions, the Company may seek to obtain additional debt or equity financing. It may also need to obtain additional debt or equity financing if it experiences downturns or cyclical fluctuations in its business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if the Company fails to achieve anticipated revenue, experiences significant increases in the costs associated with products sales, or if it engages in additional strategic transactions. The Company cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to the Company, further capital needs are identified and the Company is not successful in obtaining the financing, it may be forced to curtail its existing or planned future operations.
In addition, if needed the Company would potentially sell it’s only existing water treatment plant and move to a more royalty based revenue stream to generate cash to continue operations. There can be no assurance that the revenue from the sale of the plant will be sufficient for the Company to achieve profitability in its operations.
For the six month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company funded operations primarily through sales of its common stock to investors in the amount of $399,000.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Operating cash flows used during the six months ended September 30, 2008, amounted to $375,155. The primary use of operating cash was to pay consultants and salaries and wages. This was the result of a net loss of $2,760,886 offset by non-cash and non-operating items (depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and interest expense from the amortization of debt discounts) totaling $1,460,034 and net changes in current assets and liabilities of $925,697.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Investing cash flows used during the six months ended September 30, 2008, amounted to ($17,592) used primarily for minor capitalized costs and deposits.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Financing cash flows during the six months ended September 30, 2008, amounted to $399,000 and consisted entirely of, sales of its common stock to investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined "critical accounting policies" as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates are described below under the heading "Revenue Recognition." We also have other key accounting estimates and policies, but we believe that these other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period. For additional information see Note 1, "Summary of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to our audited financial statements appearing in our annual report on Form 10-KSB. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144 ("SFAS 144"). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undercounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Product sales - For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition ("SAB104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
Construction contracts - In accordance with Statement of Position 81-1"Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts", the Company uses the percentage completion method for the recognition of revenue received in connection with it's engineering, equipment sale and installation contracts. In making the estimate of the percentage of revenue to recognize, the Company compares costs to the total projected cost of the contract. Accordingly, the Company recognizes that portion of the revenue and record the balance of the cash received as deferred revenues, which is included within accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On June 16, 2004, the FASB published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R were effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005.
The Company has adopted SFAS 123R, which requires disclosure of the fair value and other characteristics of stock options, and SFAS 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure," which requires more prominent disclosure about the effects of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based compensation on reported net loss. The Company has reflected the expense of such stock based compensation based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. All other options and warrants had been accounted for at fair value using the Black Scholes valuation model. Thus, the impact of adopting SFAS 123R was immaterial to the Company's financial statements.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R, we estimate the fair value of our share-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of the options granted is amortized as compensation expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value calculations involve significant judgments, assumptions, estimates and complexities that impact the amount of compensation expense to be recorded in current and future periods. The factors include: (1) the time period our stock-based compensation awards are expected to remain outstanding based upon the average of the original award period and the remaining vesting period in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 simplified method. Our Company's stock trading history has been relatively short (since January 2005). Our expected term assumption for awards issued was five years. As additional evidence develops from our stock's trading history, the expected term assumption will be refined to capture the relevant trends. (2) The future volatility of our stock has been estimated based upon our entire trading history from inception to the reporting date. (3) A dividend yield of zero has been assumed for awards issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 based upon our actual past experience and the fact that we do not anticipate paying a dividend on our shares in the near future. (4) We have based our risk-free interest rate assumption for awards issued during the quarter September 30, 2008 based upon the weighted-average yield of 5.25% available on US Treasury debt instruments with an equivalent expected term. (5) Forfeiture rates for awards issued during these periods have not yet been estimated as the Company has only recently issued share based awards and no forfeiture data has been available to the Company as a result.
The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides accounting guidance on the definition of fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We plan to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 on April 1, 2009 and are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on our results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities--Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations ("SFAS 141(R)"), which replaces FAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements", which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Not Applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
During its year end procedures, the Company noted several weaknesses in its internal controls. No steps have been taken to address these control weaknesses.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, our Chief Executive and Principal Accounting Officers carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. In the course of the previous fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the Principal Accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, with participation with the Company’s Chief Executive and Principal Accounting Officers, is responsible for evaluating any change in the company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during each of the issuer's fiscal quarters that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal control over financial reporting.
Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Company has concluded that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
