NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
1st NRG Corp (the "Company") was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 8, 1988. The Company's principal business activity was the exploration and development of mineral properties. Effective as of September 30, 2003, the Company discontinued these operations and re-entered the development stage to examine new opportunities. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared treating the Company as a development stage company, effective as of October 1, 2003.
In February 2008, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement to assist in identifying possible business acquisitions of “Specialty Fuel” companies in China. See Note 6 for further discussion on the contract.
Interim Period Financial Statements
The interim period financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2008. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional financing and/or achieving a sustainable profitable level of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Beginning in 2007 the Company identified and attempted to enter a niche market in the “Specialty Fuels” segment of the economy through the acquisition of two refining facilities. Due to the inability of the contracted major funder not being able to complete, these acquisitions were not successful.
With the signing of the consulting agreement in February 2008 the Company widened its search for suitable acquisitions or associations in the “Specialty Fuels” segment to include China.
Presently, the Company does not have financing in place nor does it have a specialty fuels facility identified for purchase. Still wishing to be in the “Specialty Fuels” segment, and to sustain Company operations for the next twelve months and beyond, the Company is presently pursuing alternative funding sources and is seeking suitable replacement facilities as well as taking steps to controlling and adjusting overhead and expenses to reflect its present level of operations. There can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful or that the Company will be able to continue operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
6
Cash
Cash consists of checking and savings accounts held at financial institutions. The Company did not pay cash for any interest or income taxes during 2008 or 2007.
Accrued Interest
There was a contract payable that bore interest at 15% which was retired by committing to issue shares and recognizing issuable shares in 2003. Related accrued interest remains unpaid at June 30, 2008.
Earnings Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares. There were 540,000 potentially dilutive securities held as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 outstanding options and warrants were anti-dilutive because of the Company’s net losses. As such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted income per share. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, contract payable, accrued management compensation, accrued interest, cash advances, advances from related parties, loans payable and loans payable from related parties. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts due to the short-term nature.
Comprehensive Loss
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive loss, as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. To date, the Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards in accordance with SFAS No 123(R) which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be recoverable against future taxable income. The Company’s deferred tax assets arise largely from available net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the tax effect of those losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-I,“Accounting for ConvertibleDebtInstruments That May Be Settled inCashUpon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)(“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 states that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 and that issuers of such instruments should account separately for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fIscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP ABP 14-1 will have on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163,“Accounting for Financial Guaranteed Insurance Contracts”(“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 clarifies FASB Statement No 60,“Accounting and Repoiling by Insurance Enterprises’.SEAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has determined that there is no impact of SFAS 163 on its financial statements..
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162,“The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”(“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 6. Contract Payable

Under the agreement, the Company is obligated to pay the consultant $220,000 as a non-refundable retainer for these services, plus reimbursement costs the consultant incurs. On successful completion of an acquisition by the Company, the consultant would be entitled to a successful efforts payment equal to 11% of the value of the under-lying acquisition. To date, no payment has been made under the agreement and no amounts have been accrued for the contingent liability related to a potential acquisition.
Note 7. Subequent Event
Effective the 6th day of August 2008 the Company executed a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with the private placement of shares of the Common Stock of 1st NRG giving the Purchaser the right to purchase, on a best effort basis for the next 12 months, up to Three hundred thousand US$ ($300,000) worth of common stock at a per share purchase price adjusted as the Closing Bid Price changes from time to time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS OF MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE STATEMENTS THAT ESTIMATE THE HAPPENING OF FUTURE EVENTS AND ARE NOT BASED ON HISTORICAL FACT. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS MAY BE IDENTIFIED BY THE USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING TERMINOLOGY, SUCH AS "MAY," "SHALL," "WILL," "COULD," "EXPECT," "ESTIMATE," "ANTICIPATE," “PLAN,” "PREDICT," "PROBABLE," "POSSIBLE," "SHOULD," "CONTINUE," OR SIMILAR TERMS, VARIATIONS OF THOSE TERMS OR THE NEGATIVE OF THOSE TERMS. THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SPECIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAVE BEEN COMPILED BY OUR MANAGEMENT ON THE BASIS OF ASSUMPTIONS MADE BY MANAGEMENT AND CONSIDERED BY MANAGEMENT TO BE REASONABLE. OUR FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS, HOWEVER, ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT AND NO RE PRESENTATION, GUARANTY, OR WARRANTY IS TO BE INFERRED FROM THOSE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates were based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are like ly to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below and have not changed significantly.
The Company is presently developing a business plan and model based on an identified niche related to Specialty Fuel Production. The plan includes developing partnerships with major players, identifying acquisition targets, and utilizing established financial associations to fund the model.
The Company’s Chief Strategic Officer had identified quality, qualified consultants and personnel capable of aiding in the realization of these plans. The Company, from this identified pool, engaged the services of a Consulting Company which expands on the scope of its search for funded opportunities to include China (See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 6 – Contracts Payable.). Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, from this identified pool, three additional contracts with the Company have been successfully negotiated, filling the positions of Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Secretary. This in turn enabled the Company to conclude, also subsequent to the end of the Quarter, an agreement to raise funding for operating purposes (See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7 – Subsequent Event.).
The above actions create the foundation that will carry the Company through its various stages of development and growth.
Limited Operations: The Company has not generated any significant revenues and will not generate significant revenues until it is able to develop new projects and sources of financing. Expenditures as shown in theStatements of Operations during the current three month period reflect a material increase over 2007 caused by the revised employment agreements (see “Item 6(c) Exhibits 10.14.1 Employment agreement of Edward D. Renyk and 10.21.1.1 Employment Agreement of Dr. J. Greig); Consulting fees (see Notes To Financial Statements, Note 6 – Contracts Payable); General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflecting the additional cost for rents on the Ferndale head office facilities and contracting out of bookkeeping costs relative to our program to improve internal controls by separating the responsibilities of personnel; and professional fees related to preparation of pre sentation packages to elicit major financing.
At June 30, 2008 the Company had a stockholders' deficit in excess of $1,100,000.
10
Liquidity: The financial statements of the Company contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis. If the Company were unable to raise funds necessary to continue operations or were unable to generate positive cash flow from new operations, it might be forced to liquidate. In such event, it is unlikely that the Company would realize amounts sufficient to liquidate its liabilities recorded on the balance sheet.
Historically, management has provided the cash funding required to meet current operating costs. Effective the 6th day of August 2009 the Company executed a Regulation S Stock Purchase Agreement in connection with the private placement of shares of the Common Stock of 1st NRG giving the Purchaser the right to purchase, on a best effort basis for the next 12 months, up to Three hundred thousand US$ ($300,000) worth of common stock at a per share purchase price adjusted as the Closing Bid Price changes from time to time. (See Note 7-Subequent Event.) Additionally the Company has undertaken further steps as part of the plans outlined above with the goal of sustaining Company operations for the next twelve months and beyond by engaging the services of a Consulting Company which expands on the scope of its search for funded opportunities to include China (See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 6 – Contracts Payable.)
There can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful.
Substantial Indebtedness to Related Parties: The Company owed substantial amounts to related parties consisting of accrued management compensation, advances received primarily from Officers & Directors, and unsecured loans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy its obligations to the Related Parties.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act for the period ended December 31, 2007 we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), and based on this evaluation our Chief Strategic Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007 because of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as detailed below under “(c) Material Weaknesses Identified”.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Our Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have designed established disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely discu ssions regarding required disclosure is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this report was prepared.
Material Weaknesses Identified:Our Certifying Officers are aware that with the limited level of operations, financial resources and availability of personnel that material weaknesses exist in the controls and procedures, particularly in the concentration of duties, lack of an audit committee and access to additional financial expertise, both within and external to the current composition of the Board of Directors. Specific weakness in internal control over financial reporting exists because of the following:
1.
Our Company is managed by a small number of individuals working out of offices in Ferndale, Washington and Richmond, British Columbia. We do not have a large enough number of independent staff or management members to provide third party oversight in the review of our financial transactions on an ongoing basis. Our CSO/Chairman of the Board/Director is solely responsible for initiating activities of the Company and CFO/Director/Secretary is responsible for reviewing, and, until recently, recording the financial transactions, as well as the preparation and review of financial reports, including the preparation of the 10Q’s and 10K. The electronically recorded and related physical records are maintained by the Ferndale office.
11
2.
The Company’s Board of Directors consist of three members of which two make up the entire management team resulting in inadequate independent oversight of the management function as well as not having member to staff board of director committees, in particular an audit committee. The Company lacks a designated financial expert and no method of creating an effective whistleblower program.
3.
Our limited operations and business practices include complex technical accounting issues that require significant accounting and SEC reporting expertise. We do not have adequate accounting technical resources to ensure timely and accurate accounting and reporting for addressing such highly technical issues.
4.
There is a lack of independent supervisory review of accounting transactions, including the recording of general ledger journal entries, month end account reconciliations, and preparation of financial reporting.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses:Our Chief Strategic Officer is actively engaged in actions to resolve these deficiencies by:
1.
pursuing short term and long term funding. Initial contracts are presently under active negotiation.
2.
actively recruiting members to add to the Board of Directors and has successfully concluded the first of two planned which will bring the Board up to full strength. The current addition was Mr. Erik Nelson effective June 15, 2008. (See Item 6. (b) Reports on Form 8-K)
3.
identifying and being in active negotiation with three potential candidates to fill the positions of Secretary, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and President/Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
4.
pursuing active projects which include operational staffing to compliment the above actions and assist the Company in meeting its goals of fully meeting the requirements imposed by Sarbanes Oxley by its annual 2008 reporting date.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have affected or are likely to affect our internal controls over financial reporting with the exception that the Company has engaged the services of an external bookkeeping service provider enabling it to separate the primary responsibility of recording from that of oversight and transformation of this information into the financial reporting activity.
