NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the
accompanying financial statements follows:
General
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Solar
Thin
Film, Inc., (“Solar” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In
the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly,
the results from operations for the three and six month periods ended June
30,
2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the
year ended December 31, 2008.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2007 financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC
on
April 4, 2008.
Business
and Basis of Presentation
The
Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is in
the
business of designing, manufacturing and marketing Solar Panel equipment on
a
world wide basis.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Superior Ventures Corp. and Kraft Elektronikai
Zrt. (“Kraft”) and majority owned subsidiary, Solar Thin Power, Inc. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Merger
and Corporate Restructure
On
June
14, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”
or “Merger”) with Kraft, a company formed under the laws of the country of
Hungary. As a result of the Merger, there was a change in control of the public
entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Kraft was the acquiring entity. While
the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in
substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of Kraft's capital
structure.
For
accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse
acquisition and Kraft is the surviving entity. The total purchase price and
carrying value of net assets acquired was $(6,681,891). The Company did not
recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction.
Prior to the Agreement, the Company was an inactive corporation with no
significant assets and liabilities.
Effective
with the Agreement, 95.5% of previously outstanding shares of its common stock
owned by the Kraft’s shareholders were exchanged for an aggregate of 95,500
shares of the Company’s newly issued Series B-4 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-4
Preferred”). The Series B-4 Preferred were each automatically convertible into
350 shares of common stock or an aggregate of 33,425,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. The conversion is subject to the Company increasing its authorized
shares of common stock. Under the Agreement, prior to such conversion, each
Series B-4 Preferred share will have the voting rights equal to 350 shares
of
common stock and vote together with the shares of common stock on all
matters.
The
value
of the stock that was issued was the historical cost of the Company's net
tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair
value.
The
accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows of Kraft prior to the merger with American
United Global.

to
accumulated deficit during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Subsequent
to the date of the merger, the Company changed its name from American United
Global Inc. to Solar Thin Films, Inc.
In
July
2007, the Company issued 1,575,000 shares of its common stock to acquire the
remaining 4.5% of the outstanding common shares of Kraft. Accordingly, the
Company has charged the fair value, based on the underlying common stock issued,
of $1,181,250 to accumulated deficit in the year ended December 31,
2007.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company assesses the realization of its receivables by performing ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations,
the Company may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able
to
meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability,
credit ratings or bankruptcy. The Company’s reserve requirements are based on
the best facts available to the Company and are reevaluated and adjusted as
additional information is received. The Company’s reserves are also based on
amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable
categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including,
but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt
write-off experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007.

Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product/contract sales, the Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB
104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
“
Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). 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) collectibility 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 collectibility
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. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time
that
the company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required. Deferred revenues as of June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007 amounted to $982,376 and $0, respectively. SAB 104
incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21"),
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting
for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products,
services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21
on
the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
The
Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the price to the customer is fixed, collectibility is reasonable assured and
title and risk of ownership is passed to the customer, which is usually upon
shipment. However, certain customers traditionally have requested to take title
and risk of ownership prior to shipment. Revenue for these transactions is
recognized only when:
1.
Title
and risk of ownership have passed to the customer;
2.
The
Company has obtained a written fixed purchase commitment;
3.
The
customer has requested the transaction be on a bill and hold basis;
4.
The
customer has provided a delivery schedule;
5.
All
performance obligations related to the sale have been completed;
6.
The
product has been processed to the customer’s specifications, accepted by the
customer and made ready for shipment;
7.
The
product is segregated and is not available to fill other orders.
The
remittance terms for these “bill and hold” transactions are consistent with all
other sale by the Company. There were no bill and hold transactions at June
30,
2008 and December 31, 2007.
Percentage-of-Completion
Accounting: in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 81-1, "Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts."
(“SOP 81-1”), sales - derived from long-term fixed-priced contracts to design,
develop and construct of complete or just part of turnkey manufacturing plants
that produce photovoltaic thin film modules in accordance with customer
specifications - are recorded using the percentage of completion method as
the
compounds are delivered (under the units of delivery method). The contract
costs
related to delivered compounds are recorded to cost of revenue as the compounds
are delivered and revenue is recognized.
In
April
2008 the Company has entered into a long term contract with Grupo Unisolar,
S.A.
which falls under the percentage of completion accounting method. As of June
30,
2008 no revenue has been earned and the Company has recorded the initial
deposit of $601,031 as deferred revenue.
Product
Warranty costs
The
Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations
upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees as a charge in the current period cost
of
goods sold. The warranty coverage for the Company’s products ranges from 18 to
24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of repairs under
such warranties based on historical experience and any known specific product
information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically by management and
based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The Company’s
determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as such,
actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous
expectations.

The
Company accrued a provision for product warranty of approximately $180,000
during 2007; of which approximately $85,000 was utilized during the year ended
December 31, 2007. An additional $20,000 warranty liability was accrued during
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 after the utilization of $75,000 in the six
months of 2008, while approximately $40,000 remaining as of June 30,
2008
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2"), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”
Under SFAS 2, all research and development cost must be charged to expense
as
incurred. Accordingly, internal research and developments cost is expensed
as
incurred.
Third-party
research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been
performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research
and development costs related to products are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company incurred expenditures of $90,000 and $180,000 on research and
product development for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008,
respectively; and $90,000 and $180,000 for the three and six month periods
ended
June 30, 2007, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain
reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the
current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income
or losses.
Property,
plant and equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over
the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The
estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Land
and buildings
|
|
|
3
to 50 years
|
|
Funitures
and fixtures
|
|
|
3
to 7 years
|
|
Machinery,
plant and equipment
|
|
|
3
to 7 years
|
|
We
evaluate the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be
held
and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant
and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future
cash
flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. We measure
impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective
asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the
projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved.
Investments
During
the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired at 15% interest
in CG Solar, formerly WeiHai Blue Star Terra Photovoltaic Co., Ltd, a
Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company organized under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China. The investment of $1,500,000 is carried at cost under the
cost method of accounting for investment.
Stock
Based Compensation
Effective
for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R)
“Share-Based Payment” which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees” and eliminates the intrinsic value method that was provided
in SFAS 123 for accounting of stock-based compensation to employees. The Company
made no employee stock-based compensation grants before December 31, 2005 and
therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense
unvested or vested prior to 2006.

For
the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options to
an
officer of the Company with an exercise price of $0.533 per share vesting over
two years and expiring ten years from the date of issuance. The fair value
of
the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 82.53%; risk
free
interest rate: 5.14%. The fair value of the vested portion of $151,646 and
$303,292 was charged to operations for the three and six month period ended
June
30, 2008, respectively.
For
the
six month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted an aggregate of
630,000 stock options (net of cancellations) to employees, directors and
officers with an exercise price of $0.75 per share vesting over eighteen months
and expiring ten years from date of issuance. The fair value of the options
was
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 93.08%; risk free interest
rate: 3.38%. The fair value of the vested portion of $68,898 and $78,613 was
charged to operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008,
respectively.
Additionally
for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company granted 600,000 stock
options to an officer with an exercise price of $0.80 per share vesting at
a
rate of 100,000 shares per month beginning June 1, 2009. The options expire
ten
years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the options was determined
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 94.938%; risk free interest rate:
3.75%.
No
Stock-based compensation was charged to operations from- these stock options
for
the three and six months period ended June 30, 2008 as the vesting commences
on
June 1, 2009.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130; “Reporting
Comprehensive Income” (SFAS) No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
is
defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive
income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars
using the year end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements
of SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”
.
Assets,
liabilities and equity of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates
as of the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses and retained earnings are
translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative
translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain
(loss) within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated
in a
currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated
results of operations.
Net
income (loss) per share
The
Company computes earnings per share under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“SFAS 128”). Net earnings (losses) per
common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of
shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise
of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury
stock
method). During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive,
thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

As of June 30, 2008 the Company’s current liabilities exceeded their current

Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “
Accounting
for
certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133
and
140”
(“SFAS
No. 155”)
.
SFAS No.
155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation,
clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject
to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate
interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are
freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain
an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations
of
credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and
amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS
No.
155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
The SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “
Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment to FASB Statement No.
140
”
(“SFAS
No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that an entity recognize a servicing asset or
servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial
asset by entering into a service contract under certain situations. The new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.
SFAS
No.156 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “
Accounting
for
uncertainty in Income Taxes”
(“FIN
No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for Income Taxes by prescribing
the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before
being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on
derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition and clearly scopes income taxes
out of SFAS No. 5, “
Accounting
for Contingencies”.
FIN No.
48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN No.
48
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements and does not require any new fair value
measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair
value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) 157-2
,
“Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157”
(“FSP
157-2
),
which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the
impact that the implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on its non-financial
assets and liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however,
the Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations
or
cash flows.
In
September 2006 the FASB issued its SFAS No. 158, “
Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)
”
(“SFAS
No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to
recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability
in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income
of a
business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit
organization. SFAS No. 158 also improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The effective date
for
an employer with publicly traded equity securities is as of the end of the
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS No. 158 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.

In
December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, “
Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements
”
(“FSP
00-19 -2”) which addresses accounting for registration payment arrangements. FSP
00-19 -2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or
otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement,
whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial
instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured
in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. FSP 00-19 -2 further
clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment
arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable
generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the contingent
obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment
arrangement. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments
subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance
of
EITF 00-19-2, this guidance shall be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. FSP 00-19-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s

February 2007, 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
No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of
the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value
option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
”
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide
Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method
Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1
provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of
the
AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP
07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on
or
after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a
final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting
early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.
In
June
2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that
nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or
rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred
and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related
services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability.
EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
"Business
Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in
an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in
a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption
is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that
the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position results of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”
(“SFAS
No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority
interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
SFAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company
is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its
consolidated financial position results of operations or cash
flows.

NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1,
“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1
defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the
result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and
report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on
other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of
other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and
consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for
disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s
rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income
statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in
accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing
as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact
of adopting EITF 07-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
March
2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133”
(“SFAS
No. 161”)
.
SFAS
No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.
This FSP
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”.
The
Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption
is
prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life
of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
"
("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in
the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "
Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)
" ("FSP
APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets)
on
conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion
option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's
non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive
basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if
any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future
consolidated financial statements.

the
Company has issued warrants that have registration rights for the underlying
shares. As the contract must be settled by the delivery of registered
shares and the delivery of the registered shares is not controlled by the
Company, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the
warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market
value
until the Company meets the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity.
The
net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant
liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $10,821,900 and charged to
operations as interest expense. Upon the registration statement being
declared effective, the fair value of the warrant on that date will be
reclassified to equity. The Company initially valued the warrants using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield
of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 93.03%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.08%
to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 5 years.

8- PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)
In
connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006 (see
Note
1), the Company assumed as liability the fair value of $10,821,900 representing
the warrants issued and outstanding as described above. At December 31, 2006,
the Company revalued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected
volatility of 51.21%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.62 to 4.82% to 5.10%,
and
(4) expected life of 2.45 to 3.44 years. And 5) a deemed fair value of common
stock of $0.99. The decrease of $9,356,400 in the fair value of the warrants
at
December 31, 2006 has been recorded as a gain on revaluation of warrant
liability for the year ended December 31, 2006. Warrant liability at December
31, 2006 amounted to $1,465,500. On February 13, 2007, upon the registration
statement being declared effective, the assumed liability of $10,821,900 was
adjusted to additional paid in capital.

Litigation
New
York Medical, Inc. and Redwood Investment Associates, L.P. vs. American United
Global, Inc., et al. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York
County)
.
In this
suit, filed on December 12, 2003, plaintiffs seek a declaration that a series
of
transactions by which the Company allegedly acquired Lifetime Healthcare
Services, Inc. ("Lifetime") and Lifetime acquired an interest in NY Medical
from
Redwood (collectively "Transactions") were properly rescinded or, alternatively,
that because the Transactions were induced by fraudulent conduct of our company
and others, that the Transactions should be judicially rescinded. In addition
to
the requests for equitable relief, plaintiffs also seek monitory damages in
excess of $5 million and exemplary damages in the amount of $15
million.
Currently,
the suit has not proceeded past the filing and service of the complaint. The
Company has obtained an open-ended extension of time in which to answer and/or
move with regard to the complaint. The Company is attempting to resolve the
matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be
aggressively defended.
Hudson
Bay Fund, L.P. (“Hudson Bay”) vs. Solar Thin Films, Inc f/k/a American United
Global, Inc (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County). In this suit
filed
on February 8, 2008, plaintiffs are seeking amounts related to registration
delay penalties in an amount not to exceed $50,000 plus interest and costs.
The
Company settled the Hudson Bay matter in June 2008.
From
time
to time, the Company is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that
the Company considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business.
The
Company is not involved currently in legal proceedings that could reasonably
be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition or results of operations. The Company may become involved in material
legal proceedings in the future
.
Contingent
Obligation
The
Company remains contingently liable for certain capital lease obligations
assumed by EGLOBE, Inc. ("EGLOBE") as part of the Connectsoft Communications
Corp. asset sale which was consummated in June 1999. The lessor filed for
bankruptcy in 2000 and the leases were acquired by another leasing organization
which subsequently also filed for bankruptcy in 2001. In addition, EGLOBE filed
for bankruptcy in 2001. The Company has been unable to obtain any further
information about the parties but believes that in the normal course of the
proceedings that another company most likely acquired the assets and related
leases and that a mutually acceptable financial arrangement was reached to
accomplish such a transfer.
To
date,
the Company has not been contacted and has not been notified of any delinquency
in payments due under these leases. The original leases were entered into during
early to mid 1997 each of which was for a five-year term. Extensions of an
additional 20 months were negotiated with the original lessor in 1998 and 1999
moving the ending date to approximately mid 2004. The balance due under the
leases in June 1999 upon transfer and sale to EGLOBE was approximately
$2,800,000 including accrued interest and the monthly payments were
approximately $55,000. The balance that is currently due under the leases is
unknown and there would most likely have been negotiated reductions of amounts
due during the bankruptcy proceedings.

Product
Warranty Obligation
The
Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations
upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with the FASB
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees.” The range for the warranty coverage for the Company’s products is
up to 18 to 24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of
repairs under such warranties based on historical experience and any known
specific product information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically
by
management and based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The
Company’s determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as
such, actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous
expectations. Accrued provision for product warranty was approximately $40,000
and $95,000 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Employment
and Consulting Agreements
The
Company has consulting agreements with its key officers. In addition to
compensation and benefit provisions, the agreements include non-disclosure
and
confidentiality provisions for the protection of the Company's proprietary
information.
In
connection with the merger with Kraft, the Company entered into consulting
agreements with its Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director pursuant
to which each will receive annual compensation of $160,000 per annum and major
medical benefits in consideration for services performed on behalf of the
Company. Each of these agreements is for a term of three years. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, an aggregate of $381,000 have been paid to Robert
Rubin, who serves as Chief Financial Officer, and Zoltan Kiss, exclusive of
major medical benefits. In the case of Robert Rubin, the amounts paid for
consulting services were grossed up to cover applicable taxes. Zoltan Kiss
has
elected not to participate in the Company's major medical plan.
The
Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors to provide marketing
and financial advisory services. The Agreements are generally for a term of
12
months from the inception and renewable automatically from year to year unless
either the company or consultant terminates such engagement by written
notice.
NOTE
15 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses
and has negative cash flow from operations. In addition, the Company has
incurred an accumulated deficit of $27,121,073 and stockholders’ deficit of
$1,742,399 at June 30, 2008. These factors among others may indicate that the
Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of
time.
The
Company is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions
with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity
financing.
If
operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management
believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can
be
given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems.
The
Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable
operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the
Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the
continued developing, marketing and selling of its products and services and
additional equity investment in the Company. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.

Item

Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
The
Company operates in Hungary through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft, a
Hungarian corporation.
The
Company through its subsidiary is presently engaged in the design, development
and construction on behalf of its customers of both photovoltaic
manufacturing equipment and through strategic partners “turnkey”
manufacturing plants that produce photovoltaic thin film modules (though the
Company retains the right to deliver turnkey plants on its own account). The
Company expects the primary use of such photovoltaic thin film modules will
be
the construction of solar power plants by corporations and
governments.
Solar
Thin Films, in the future, may further vertically integrate itself within this
industry through activities in, but not limited to, investing in and/or
operating the module manufacturing plants, selling thin film photovoltaic
modules, and through its subsidiary formed in 2007, Solar Thin Power, installing
and/or managing solar power plants.
Critical
Accounting Estimates and Policies
The
Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets
and
liabilities. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates,
assumption and disclosures. The Company chooses accounting policies within
US
GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report
the Company's operating results and financial position in a consistent manner.
Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted
economic conditions. Accounting policies that management believes to be critical
to understanding the results of operations and the effect of the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements are the same as those described in the Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with
SEC
on April 4, 2008.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any,
at
the date of the financial statements. The Company analyzes its estimates,
including those related to future contingencies and litigation. The Company
bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

Liquidity

As

$1,373,301, a decrease of $2,784,175 from December 31, 2007.
As
of
June 30, 2008, we had working capital deficit of $2,668,459. We generated a
deficit in cash flow from operations of $1,529,234 for the six months ended
June
30, 2008. This deficit is primary attributable to our net loss of $3,045,519,
net with depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discount and
deferred financing costs of $807,143 as well as $381,905 fair value of vested
options and warrants issued, minority interests of $13,013 and the changes
in
the balances of current assets and liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued
expenses and advances received from customer increased by $1,265,268, and
inventory, receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets increased
(net) by $951,044.
Cash
flow
used by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was
$1,620,963, due to the acquisition of 15% interest in CG Solar of $1,500,000
and
the purchase of property and equipment of $120,963.
We
met
our cash requirements during the period through net proceeds from the sale
of
common stock of our subsidiary, Solar Thin Power, Inc of $150,000
.
While
we
had raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected
cash
flow requirements from operations and development. We anticipate that we will
need to raise a minimum of $1 to $3 million to provide the cash requirements
for
the next twelve months to continue our current operations and or to
commercialize our new products. We are actively seeking additional financing,
which may take the form of debt, convertible debt or equity, in order to provide
the additional working capital and funds for expansion. There can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on
satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. We currently have no commitments
for financing. In the event we are unable to continue as a going concern, we
may
elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does
management view it as a likely occurrence.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “
Accounting
for
certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133
and
140”
(“SFAS
No. 155”)
.
SFAS No.
155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation,
clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject
to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate
interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are
freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain
an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations
of
credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and
amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS
No.
155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
The SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “
Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment to FASB Statement No.
140
”
(“SFAS
No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that an entity recognize a servicing asset or
servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial
asset by entering into a service contract under certain situations. The new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.
SFAS
No.156 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “
Accounting
for
uncertainty in Income Taxes”
(“FIN
No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for Income Taxes by prescribing
the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before
being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on
derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition and clearly scopes income taxes
out of SFAS No. 5, “
Accounting
for Contingencies”.
FIN No.
48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN No.
48
did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements and does not require any new fair value
measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair
value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) 157-2
,
“Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157”
(“FSP
157-2
),
which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact that
the implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on our non-financial assets and
liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however, we do not
anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
September 2006 the FASB issued its SFAS No. 158, “
Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)
”
(“SFAS
No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to
recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability
in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income
of a
business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit
organization. SFAS No. 158 also improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The effective date
for
an employer with publicly traded equity securities is as of the end of the
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS No. 158 did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, “
Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements
”
(“FSP
00-19 -2”) which addresses accounting for registration payment arrangements. FSP
00-19 -2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or
otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement,
whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial
instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured
in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. FSP 00-19 -2 further
clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment
arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable
generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the contingent
obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment
arrangement. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments
subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance
of
EITF 00-19-2, this guidance shall be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. FSP 00-19-2 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows
In
February 2007, 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
No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of
the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value
option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
”
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide
Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method
Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1
provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of
the
AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP
07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on
or
after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a
final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting
early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.
In
June
2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that
nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or
rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred
and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related
services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability.
EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2007. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results
of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
"Business
Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in
an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in
a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption
is prohibited and we are currently evaluating the effect, if any that the
adoption will have on our consolidated financial position results of operations
or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”
(“SFAS
No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority
interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
SFAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and we are
currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on our
consolidated financial position results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1,
“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1
defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the
result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and
report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on
other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of
other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and
consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for
disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s
rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income
statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in
accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing
as of the effective date. We have not yet evaluated the potential impact of
adopting EITF 07-1 on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
March
2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133”
(“SFAS
No. 161”)
.
SFAS
No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early adoption encouraged. We are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.
This FSP
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”.
We
are required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is
prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life
of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
"
("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in
the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "
Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)
" ("FSP
APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets)
on
conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion
option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's
non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive
basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future
consolidated financial statements.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not
maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange
traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.
TRENDS,
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
We
have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors
before making an investment decision with respect to our Common
Stock.
CAUTIONARY
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
We
have
sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but
we
cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized
nor
can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might
arise.
INFLATION
AND FOREIGN CURRENCY
We
maintains our books in local currency: US Dollars for the parent holding Company
and Solar Thin Film Power, Inc in the United States of America and Hungarian
Forint for Kraft in Hungary.
We
operate primarily outside of the United States through its wholly owned
subsidiary. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may
significantly affect our sales, profitability and financial position when the
foreign currencies, primarily the Hungarian Forint, of its international
operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. In
additional, we are also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to
certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Although the
we
cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may or will affect
our
business and financial position, there is a risk that such fluctuations will
have an adverse impact on the sales, profits and financial position. Because
differing portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign
currency, movements could impact our margins by, for example, decreasing our
foreign revenues when the dollar strengthens and not correspondingly decreasing
our expenses. The Company does not currently hedge its currency exposure. In
the
future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange
risk.
The
translation of the Company’s subsidiaries forint denominated balance sheets into
U.S. dollars, as of June 30, 2008, has been affected by the weakening of the
U.S. dollar against the Hungarian forint from 172.61 as of December 31, 2007,
to
149.76 as of June 30, 2008, an approximate 13% depreciation in value. The
average Hungarian forint/U.S. dollar exchange rates used for the translation
of
the subsidiaries forint denominated statements of operations into U.S. dollars,
for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 165.99 and 188.38,
respectively.
Effect
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Forward-Looking
Statements
We
may
from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking,"
including statements contained in this Form 10Q and other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our stockholders and news
releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or
projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. In
addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking
statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "projects,"
"forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words and similar expressions
are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements
are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and
results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or
suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Important factors on which such
statements are based are assumptions concerning uncertainties, including but
not
limited to uncertainties associated with the following:
(a)
volatility or decline of our stock price;
(b)
potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
(c)
our
failure to earn revenues or profits;
(d)
inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to
obtaining the financing needed to implement its business plans;
(e)
inadequate capital to continue business;
(f)
changes in demand for our products and services;
(g)
rapid
and significant changes in markets;
(h)

financial statements and notes thereto, included herewith. This discussion
should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will
necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein
will
necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such
discussion represents only the best present assessment of
management.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
as
of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the
information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated
and
communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
A
controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives
of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within a company have been detected.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During
the most recent quarter ended June 30, 2008, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Global, Inc., et al. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York
County)
.
In this
suit, filed on December 12, 2003, plaintiffs seek a declaration that a series
of
transactions by which the Company allegedly acquired Lifetime Healthcare
Services, Inc. ("Lifetime") and Lifetime acquired an interest in NY Medical
from
Redwood (collectively "Transactions") were properly rescinded or, alternatively,
that because the Transactions were induced by fraudulent conduct of our company
and others, that the Transactions should be judicially rescinded. In addition
to
the requests for equitable relief, plaintiffs also seek monitory damages in
excess of $5 million and exemplary damages in the amount of $15
million.
Currently,
the suit has not proceeded past the filing and service of the complaint. The
