On
December 30, 2008, the Company executed a reverse acquisition with a public
shell company (See Note 9). The accompanying financial statements are
consolidated for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the reverse acquisition
and recapitalization. The financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2007, consist solely of IX Energy, Inc., the accounting
acquirer.
Note 2 - Organization,
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature
of operations
IX Energy
Holdings, Inc. (“IX Energy” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 3,
2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a renewable energy
company primarily focused on solar power project development and
integration. In an effort to become a vertically integrated solar
products and services company that designs, markets and installs its own solar
power systems, the Company plans to design solar modules that will be marketed
primarily to federal military and civilian agencies.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Significant
estimates included management’s estimate for recording costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings, estimating the loss on uncompleted contracts in
the period when known, depreciable lives of property, valuation of warrants and
stock options granted for services or compensation pursuant to EITF No. 96-18
and SFAS No. 123R, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of
contingent liabilities, and a 100% valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to
the Company’s continuing and expected future losses.
Risks
and uncertainties
The
Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and rapid
technological change, and is in a state of fluctuation as a result of the credit
crisis occurring in the United States. The Company's operations are
subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational,
technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business
failure.
Principles
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
The
Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically
evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance
at times may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
balance exceeded the federally insured limit by $4,249,256 and $76,160,
respectively.

Accounts
receivable and concentrations
Accounts
receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to
normal trade collection terms, without discounts, however, in certain cases we
are entitled to rebates upon the completion of certain jobs post installation.
The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable
and considers the need to adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual
amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. We have determined that as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, no allowance was
required.
At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had a concentration of
accounts receivable from one customer totaling 100%.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a concentration of sales with two
customers totaling 46% and 43%, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2007, the Company had a concentration of sales with two customers
totaling 75% and 25%, respectively.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.
Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of the asset.
Long
lived assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment
to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. There were no impairment charges
taken during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Basic
and diluted loss per share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company has
common stock equivalents consisting of warrants to purchase 7,225,000 and 0
common shares as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These
common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted loss per share
computation since the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be
anti-dilutive for all periods presented due to the Company’s net loss during
2008 and 2007.
As a
result of the reverse acquisition and recapitalization (see Note 9) and stock
dividend (see Note 12(E)), all share and per share amounts have been
retroactively restated.
Fair
value of financial instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,”
requires disclosures of information about the
fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate the value. For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of
a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or
liquidation.
The
carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable, costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, accounts
payable and accrued expenses, notes payable – related party, notes payable –
other, accrued interest payable – related party and accrued interest payable –
other approximates its fair market value based on the short-term maturity of
these instruments.

Minority
Interest
Under
generally accepted accounting principles, when losses applicable to the minority
interest in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest in the equity capital of
the subsidiary, the excess is not charged to the minority interest since there
is no obligation of the minority interest to make good on such
losses. The Company, therefore, has included losses applicable to the
minority interest against its interest. If future earnings do materialize, the
Company will be credited to the extent of such losses previously
absorbed. For financial reporting purposes, minority interest will
not be presented until the minority’s share of profit exceeds its previously
recorded deficit.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition and records revenue when all
of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, (2) the product is delivered and installed, (3) the sales price to the
customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related
customer receivable is reasonably assured.
The
Company has two methods of revenue recognition:
(1)
Energy product reseller
The
Company purchases product from suppliers and resells them to third
parties. The Company records the revenue from the buyer and related
cost paid to the suppliers on these types of arrangements.
In 2008,
the Company entered into similar arrangements wherein the Company had no
installation responsibility and no further obligation after delivery was made to
the customers. Payments from the customers are received in advance of
delivery of solar panels and are treated as deferred
revenue. Payments are then made to the suppliers and cost of
materials is recorded. A pro-rata portion of the deferred revenue
from the customers is recognized as shipments are made.
Revenues
from these arrangements are recognized upon shipment from the supplier to these
third parties. In addition, the Company has reviewed EITF No. 99-19
to ascertain the relevance of gross versus net reporting. Upon the Company’s
review of this guidance, as well as SAB No. 104, the Company has determined that
it is subject to gross reporting as it bears the risk of loss in each of these
arrangements. There were no such arrangements at December 31, 2007.
For the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, approximately 98% and 0%
of revenues were earned under this method.
(2)
Percentage of completion
Revenue
from construction contracts are reported under the percentage-of-completion
method for financial statement purposes. The estimated revenue for
each contract reflected in the financial statements represent that percentage of
estimated total revenue that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total
costs, based on the Company’s current estimates. With respect to
contracts that extend over one or more accounting periods, revisions in costs
and revenue estimates during the course of the work are reflected in the period
the revisions become known. When current estimates of total contract
costs indicate a loss, provision is made for the entire estimated
loss.
The
asset,
“Costs and estimated
earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,”
represents
revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability,
“Estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts,”
represents billings in excess of revenues
recognized.
Billing
practices for these projects are governed by the contract terms of each project
based upon actual costs incurred, achievement of milestones, or pre-agreed
schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenue recognized under
the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. With the exception
of claims and change orders that are in the process of being negotiated with
customers, unbilled work is usually billed during normal billing processes
following achievement of the contractual requirements.

Energy Holdings, Inc.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December
31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
For the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, approximately 2% and 100%
of revenues were earned under this method.
Cost
of sales
Cost of
sales, including contract costs represents costs directly related to the
purchasing and installation of the Company’s solar panel products. Primary costs
include direct materials and labor costs and those indirect costs related to
contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and
depreciation costs.
Shipping
and handling costs
Shipping
and handling costs associated with inbound freight are included in cost of
sales. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling is recorded as
revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, the Company had no such revenues or expenses.
Foreign
currency transactions
The
Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. In those instances where the
Company has foreign currency transactions, the financial statements are
translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement No. 52 of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB), “
Foreign Currency
Translation
.” Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the date
of settlement. Gains and losses arising on settlement of
foreign-currency-denominated transactions or balances are included in the
determination of income. The Company’s primary foreign currency transactions are
in Euros. The Company has not entered into derivative instruments to offset the
impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company had foreign currency
transaction losses of $35,875 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Stock-based
compensation
All
share-based payments to employees will be recorded and expensed in the statement
of operations as applicable under SFAS No. 123R,
“Share-Based
Payment”
.
SFAS No.
123R requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including grants of
employee stock options based on estimated fair values. The Company
has used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate grant date fair
value for all option grants.
Share-based
compensation expense is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment
awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the year, less expected
forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at
the time of grant and revised, if necessary in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Non-employee
stock based compensation
Stock-based
compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either
the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange
for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement
date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue EITF No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”
(“EITF 96-18”).

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income
Taxes."
Under this method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to reverse.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48;
“Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109”
(“FIN
48”). FIN 48 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring
uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for
recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is
more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including
resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step
is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many
factors when evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax
benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At December 31, 2008 and 2007,
the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax
positions.
Segment
information
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information."
During 2008 and 2007, the
Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not
been presented.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
“Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS 157”), which clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on
the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or
liability. It also defines fair value and established a hierarchy
that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a
material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159,
“The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities”
(“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option
has been elected should be reported in earnings. The decision to
elect the fair value option is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis,
should be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable. Assets
and liabilities measured at fair values pursuant to the fair value option should
be reported separately in the balance sheet from those instruments measured
using other measurement attributes. SFAS No. 159 is effective as
of the beginning of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 159
did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
“Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No 51”
(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest,
calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest
while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value
measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption
is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R,
“Business Combinations”
(“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB SFAS 141,
“Business
Combinations”.
This Statement retains the fundamental
requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for
all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. SFAS 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control
of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the
acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS
141R will require an entity to record separately from the business combination
the direct costs, where previously these costs were included in the total
allocated cost of the acquisition. SFAS 141R will require an entity
to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling
interest in the acquired at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of
that date. This compares to the cost allocation method previously
required by SFAS No. 141. SFAS 141R will require an entity to
recognize as an asset or liability at fair value for certain contingencies,
either contractual or non-contractual, if certain criteria are
met. Finally, SFAS 141R will require an entity to recognize
contingent consideration at the date of acquisition, based on the fair value at
that date. This Statement will be effective for business combinations
completed on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted
and the standards are to be applied prospectively only. Upon adoption
of this standard, there would be no impact to the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition for acquisitions previously
completed. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December
31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
In
January 2008, the SEC released SAB No. 110, which amends SAB No. 107 which
provided a simplified approach for estimating the expected term of a “plain
vanilla” option, which is required for application of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model (and other models) for valuing share options. At the time, the
Staff acknowledged that, for companies choosing not to rely on their own
historical option exercise data (i.e., because such data did not provide a
reasonable basis for estimating the term), information about exercise patterns
with respect to plain vanilla options granted by other companies might not be
available in the near term; accordingly, in SAB No. 107, the Staff permitted use
of a simplified approach for estimating the term of plain vanilla options
granted on or before December 31, 2007. The information concerning exercise
behavior that the Staff contemplated would be available by such date has not
materialized for many companies. Thus, in SAB No. 110, the Staff continues to
allow use of the simplified rule for estimating the expected term of plain
vanilla options until such time as the relevant data becomes widely available.
The Company does not expect its adoption of SAB No. 110 to have a material
impact on its 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 of FASB Statement
No. 133”
(“
SFAS
161”).
SFAS
161 establishes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and for hedging activities
with the intent to provide financial statement users with an enhanced
understanding of the entity’s use of derivative instruments, the accounting of
derivative instruments and related hedged items under Statement 133 and its
related interpretations, and the effects of these instruments on the entity’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect its adoption of SFAS 161 to
have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 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 FASB Statement No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”
(“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS FSP 142-3,
but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material
impact on its 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 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to
be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities
that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. This statement is effective 60 days following the
SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to
AU section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS 162, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will
have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Other
accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and
are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

Letter of Credit
On May
27, 2008 the Company entered in to a standby letter of credit with a bank for
$1,600,000. The letter of credit acts as a performance bond, with a

Note 7 - Loans, Notes and
Accrued Interest Payable
(A)
Notes Payable & Accrued Interest Payable – Related Party
On
February 14, 2007, the Company advanced $50,000, which was unsecured, due on
demand and bore interest at approximately 3.7% to a third party. This individual
repaid the Company on December 10, 2007.
On
November 1, 2007 and December 30, 2007, respectively, the Company issued notes
payable of $3,000 and $220,000, respectively to the same stockholder. The notes
bear interest at 12%, are unsecured, have a default interest rate of 24% and are
due 3 business days after the Company receives the cash proceeds from certain
solar panel installation jobs. The Company completed these solar
panel installations in 2008. However, the stockholder has extended
the repayment date of the notes to March 31, 2009.
On July
21, 2008, the Company issued a note payable, of $900,000, to an affiliate of a
stockholder. The note bears interest at 18%, is unsecured, has a default
interest rate of 24% and is due 3 business days after the Company receives the
cash proceeds from a solar panel installation job that is expected to be
completed by the second quarter of 2009. In October and November 2008, the
Company repaid $250,000 of principal and $15,622 of accrued

(B)
Notes Payable - Other, Conversion to Equity & Accrued Interest Payable -
Other
In July
2008, the Company entered into eight promissory note agreements for aggregate
principal totaling $500,000 with various third parties. The notes
bear interest at 5%, and the principal and interest is due and payable on the
earlier of July 1, 2009 or when the Company completes the sale of any debt
securities, common stock or common stock equivalents in a single transaction or
series of related transactions resulting in gross proceeds of
$3,500,000.
In July
2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase agreement with all eight of
the note holders listed above. The Company issued a total of 270,800
shares to the note holders in connection with these promissory notes. The number
of shares each note holder received was in direct proportion to the amount of
their promissory notes. The fair value of the common shares are
valued at $8,063 ($0.03/share) based upon the then recent cash offering price.
This amount is treated as a debt issue cost and is being amortized to interest
expense over the life of the underlying promissory notes.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of debt issue
costs to interest expense of $3,893.
At
December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company reflected notes payable –

Private Placement and Registration Rights Agreement
In 2008,
the Company sold 27.5 units at $100,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of 250,000
shares of common stock and a detachable three-year warrant to purchase 250,000
shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.50 per share. Gross
proceeds were $2,750,000 and the Company paid direct offering costs of
$122,535.
As a
result of the offering, the Company issued 6,875,000 shares of common stock and
7,225,000 warrants, inclusive of 350,000 warrants paid to a placement agent as a
direct offering cost. The warrants paid as a direct offering cost
have a net effect of zero on the statement of equity.
The
Company also granted the investors registration rights for the common stock and
common stock underlying the warrants. The Company can be assessed
liquidated damages, as defined in the agreement, for the failure to file a
registration statement within 180 days from the termination from the offering as
well as to have the registration statement declared effective. The termination
date was February 25, 2009. Penalties will be assessed at 1% per month, payable
in cash, for every 30 day period under which the Company is in default under the
terms of the registration rights agreement, up to a maximum of 10%. In assessing
the likelihood and amount of possible liability for liquidated damages, the
Company considered the guidance of EITF No.’s 00-19-2 and 05-04 as well as SFAS
No. 5. The Company has concluded
that it
believes it
will satisfy the conditions of registration in the time required pursuant to the
registration rights agree
ment. The Company will not record a
registration rights liability in connection with this
offering.

Note 9 - Reverse Acquisition
and Recapitalization
On
December 30, 2008, Yoo, Inc. (“Yoo”), a then shell corporation, merged with IX
Energy, and IX Energy became the surviving corporation. This transaction was
accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Yoo did not have any operations and
majority-voting control was transferred to IX Energy. The transaction also
required a recapitalization of IX Energy. Since IX Energy acquired a controlling
voting interest, it was deemed the accounting acquirer, while Yoo was deemed the
legal acquirer. The historical financial statements of the Company are those of
IX Energy and of the consolidated entities from the date of merger and
subsequent.
Since the
transaction is considered a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, the
guidance in SFAS No. 141 does not apply for purposes of presenting
pro-forma financial information.
Pursuant
to the Merger, Yoo’s majority stockholders cancelled 4,000,000 shares of common
stock and the Company concurrently issued 46,153,284 shares of common stock to
IX Energy. Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, IX Energy
stockholders held 89% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at
the date of the transaction. Yoo retained 5,500,000 shares of common stock upon
the closing of the reverse acquisition.

Note 11 - Income
Taxes
SFAS No.
109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the
expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be
derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. SFAS No. 109
additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the
likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
The
Company has a net operating loss carryforward for tax purposes totaling
approximately $1,110,000 at December 31, 2008 expiring through the year 2028.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable
income that can be offset by carryforwards after a change in control (generally
greater than a 50% change in ownership). Temporary differences, which
give rise to a net deferred tax asset, are approximately as
follows:

The
valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 was approximately
$52,000. The net change in valuation allowance during the year ended
December 31, 2008 was an increase of approximately $494,000. In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax
assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred
income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items,
management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the
realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application
of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2008.
The
actual tax benefit differs from the expected tax benefit for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, (computed by applying the U.S. Federal
corporate tax rate of 35% to income before taxes and 16.72% for New York state
