Government Agreement. In
2008, we did not have any sales of solar panels. The remaining increase of
$22,119 is related to our construction in progress contracts as we completed
more projects in 2009 than in 2008.
Cost of Sales
. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded cost of
sales of $1,482,654 as compared to cost of sales of $30,499 for the three
months ended March 31, 2008. $1,447,579 of this increase was related to the
sale of solar panels. The remaining increase of $4,576 of cost of sales is
related to our completion and ongoing construction in progress contracts.
Our margin on the resale of
solar panels was approximately 19.41% for the three months ended March 31,
2009. We expect our margins to increase going forward as we now have a more
stable arrangement with our suppliers.
Our margin on our
construction in progress contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2009
was approximately 19.66% as compared to (41.60%) for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. We believe that our margin in 2009 is representative of our
contracts going forward.
Operating Expenses
. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recorded operating
expenses of $5,201,426, as compared to operating expenses of $85,232 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, representing an increase of $5,116,194. This
increase in operating expenses was primarily made up of approximately $181,000
for increased hiring in 2008 for our management and administrative team,
approximately $284,000 related to legal, consulting and accounting expenses,
approximately $284,000 related to stock option expense, approximately
$3,765,000 related to common stock issued for long-term compensation, and
approximately $540,000 related to common stock issued for services.
Loss from Operations
. During the three months ended March 31,
2009, we recorded an operating loss of $4,844,184, as compared to an operating
loss of $94,192 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, representing an
increase of $4,749,992. This increase in loss from operations was primarily due
to increased operation expenses by $5,116,194 that was partially offset by our
gross profit in 2009.
Provision for Income Taxes
. We did not recognize any provisions for
income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2009 or 2008 due to our
net losses during these periods and the valuation allowances on the resulting
deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically met our
liquidity requirements from a variety of sources, including the sale of equity
and debt securities to related parties and institutional investors. Based on
our strategy and the anticipated growth in our business, we believe that our
liquidity needs will increase. The amount of such increase will depend on many
factors, including building out our management team, the costs associated with
the fulfillment of our projects, whether we upgrade our technology, and the
amount of inventory required for our expanding business. We believe that we
have sufficient cash to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Although we recently raised
an aggregate of $3.475 million in a private placement, our ultimate success may
depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance
that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if
available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
We may be required to pursue
sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture
projects and debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity
investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders.
Our ability to obtain needed
financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, both
generally and specifically in the renewable energy industry, and the fact that
we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future
financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities,
together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our
capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we
may be required to cease operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,352,807, as
compared to cash and cash equivalents of $4,736,812 as of December 31, 2008.
Net Cash Provided By
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,396,683
for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to cash used of $81,471
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 . This increase was primarily due to
issuance of common stock for consulting services of $539,760, common stock
issued to employees for services rendered of $3,675,302, employee stock-based
compensation of $284,259, an increase in accrued interest payable to a related
party of $24,771, accrued interest payable of $6,165, consultant stock-based
compensation of $2,100, depreciation expense of $2,426, and amortization of debt
issue costs of $1.988. The increase in net cash used in operating activities
was partially offset by our net loss of $4,859,279, and decreases in deferred
revenue of $1,796,238, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $128,794, an
increase in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts of $8,659, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $140,484. The
decrease in deferred revenues was related to the recognition of revenue for
product
21
shipped to our customers as
of March 31, 2009. For
the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash used in operating
activities of $81,471 was comprised of primarily net loss of $100,863, offset
by a decrease in accounts receivable of $7,261, an increase in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $5,460 and accrued interest payable of $6,671.
Net Cash Used in Investing
Activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $ 260,547 during the
three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $ 51,930 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash used
in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was
comprised of purchases of property and equipment for $260,547. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash used in investing activities was
comprised of $ 51,930 that was due from an affiliate.
Net Cash Provided By
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$273,225 during the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to net cash
of zero from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were derived from
proceeds from common stock for cash in a private placement totaling $725,000.
This was partially offset by repayment of notes payable of $250,000 to a
related party and cash paid as direct offering costs of $201,775 related to the
proceeds raised in the private placement. For the three months ended March 31,
2008, our cash provided by financing activities was comprised of $50,000 of
advances made by a related party, and this was offset by repayment of $50,000
to that related party.
Going Concern
As reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $4,859,279 and
net cash used in operations of $2,396,683 for the three months ended March 31,
2009; and had a working capital deficit of $70,325, and an accumulated deficit
of $6,331,044 at March 31, 2009.
The ability of the Company
to continue its operations is dependent on managements plans, which include
the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional
funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until
such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital
requirements.
The Company believes its
current available cash, along with anticipated revenues, may be insufficient to
meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that
financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all. The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its
current and expected future operations, as well as to achieve its strategic
objectives. The Company believes that the further implementation of its business
plan will provide future positive cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the
policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of
our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these
policies on our business operations are disclosed throughout this section where
such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our
preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ
from those estimates.
Managements discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We review the accounting policies used by us in reporting our financial results
on a regular basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. Our estimates
include amounts related to the estimate of revenues, cost of sales and deferred
revenues for each of our solar installation contracts, valuation allowances for
deferred income tax assets, other sales allowances and doubtful accounts,
depreciation and amortization periods for equipment and litigation related
accruals. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being different
from those on which we based our assumptions. These estimates and judgments are
reviewed by management on an ongoing basis and at the end of each quarter prior
to the public release of our financial results.
Significant estimates for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008
included managements estimate for recording costs and estimated earnings in
excess of billings, estimating the loss on uncompleted contracts in the period
when known, and a 100% valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to the
Companys continuing and expected future losses.
Accounts Receivable.
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.
For percentage of
22
completion
installation projects, the amounts are rebates and they are factored into the
total estimated contract price when doing percentage of completion to recognize
revenue on each project.
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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 no allowance was required.
At both March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the Company had a concentration of accounts receivable from
one customer totaling 100%. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
the Company had a concentration of sales with one customer totaling 98% and 0%.
Revenue Recognition
. We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commissions
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104)
for revenue recognition and we record 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. We have two methods of revenue recognition. For our construction
contracts, we record revenues based upon the use of the percentage of
completion method. For certain energy products that we resell to third parties,
we record revenue based upon the shipment date.
Share-Based Compensation.
We follow Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS
123R) which 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. We have used
the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate grant date fair value for
all option grants. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of
share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management
judgment. As such, as we use different assumptions based on a change in
factors, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in
the future.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
(the Company) was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware
under the name Yoo Inc. on October 31, 2007. Our initial business plan was to
market and sell a natural energy drink derived from coconut water to
distributors of soft drinks in Israel. However, we never implemented our
initial business plan.
On December 30, 2008, we
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the Merger
Agreement) with IX Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (IX Energy), and IX
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Yoo
Inc. (the Acquisition Sub). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Acquisition
Sub merged with and into IX Energy and IX Energy became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Yoo Inc. On January 13, 2009, the Companys name was changed to
IX Energy Holdings, Inc. In connection with this reverse merger, we
discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of IX Energy as
our sole line of business. As a result, we are now engaged in the development
and financing of solar power and other renewable energy solutions systems.
OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS
Since its inception, IX
Energys operations have principally involved the integration and installation
of solar power systems manufactured by third parties. However, in an effort to
become a vertically integrated solar and renewable energy solutions company
that markets, designs, engineers, installs and finances solar systems today, IX
Energy, entered into an agreement with Federal Prison Industries, Inc.
(UNICOR) to manufacture solar modules, using components supplied by us that
will be marketed primarily to federal military and civilian agencies.
SOLAR SOLUTIONS
A solar power system
generally includes companies specializing in the following:
|
|
|
Silicon Refiners
companies that produce refined silicon, a material that has historically been
used as the primary ingredient for solar panels. In light of the current
shortage of silicon, it is possible that other materials may be used as the
primary ingredient in the future.
|
|
|
|
Wafer and Cell
Manufacturers companies that manufacture the electricity generating solar
cells.
|
|
|
|
Panel Manufacturers
companies that assemble solar cells into solar panels, generally laminating
the cells between glass and plastic film, and attaching the wires and panel
frame.
|
23
|
|
|
Distributors companies
that purchase from manufacturers and resell to designers/ integrators and
other equipment resellers.
|
|
|
|
Designer/Installers
companies that sell products to end user customers.
|
IX Energy delivers solar
power systems taking into account the customers location, site conditions and
energy needs. During the preliminary design phase, we conduct a site audit and
building assessment for onsite generation feasibility and identify energy
efficiency savings opportunities. We model a proposed system design based on
variables including local weather patterns, utility rates and other relevant
factors at the customers location. We also identify necessary permits and
design our systems to comply with applicable building codes and other
regulations.
We offer general contracting
services and employ project managers to oversee all aspects of system
installation, including securing necessary permits and approvals.
Subcontractors, typically electricians and roofers, usually provide the
construction labor, tools and heavy equipment for solar system installation. We
have also served as a subcontractor for Johnson Controls, Inc. (Johnson
Controls), a heating, ventilating and air conditioning company, in connection
with the installation of a roof mounted solar power system for one of its
customers.
Our U.S. Government and Military Focus:
IX Energy is distinguished
from other solar developers in that we have the experience and background to
solve the complex aspects of technology evaluation, economic impact, systems
engineering, system integration, project execution, financing and more. We
understand federal customers and can provide them with the systems and
solutions they need to meet renewable energy requirements while reducing cost
and their environmental impact.
STRATEGY
Our strategy is to leverage
our foundation as a turnkey solar solutions provider to the U.S. government
agencies, the U.S. military and commercial customers and deliver comprehensive
energy conservation and renewable energy solutions through strategic partners,
teaming agreements and direct integration of technologies into IX Energy. As a
vertically integrated solar solutions company with manufacturing capabilities,
design and engineering expertise we already market and install solar power
systems and are now positioned to assist customers achieve their federally
mandated renewable energy standards by integrating turnkey solutions.
UNICOR Sales and Marketing Agreement
In 2008 we entered into a
five year sales and marketing agreement with UNICOR pursuant to which IX
Energy provides sales and marketing for the UNICOR assembled solar panels
at its facility in Otisville, New York and other UNICOR facilities that it may
be deemed appropriate. The agreement grants us the right to market and sell to
U.S. governmental customers any solar panels and related products assembled and
manufactured under this agreement.
The UNICOR agreement
provides for two different sales and marketing programs. Under the first
program, UNICOR will assemble and produce solar panels and we will actively
market to and solicit customers, prepare customer proposals and assist
customers in obtaining project financing. The customers will pay us directly
and we will pay UNICOR an amount equal to the cost of the solar cells plus a
below-market fee for panel fabrication. We will notify UNICOR of all
opportunities for pursuing contracts with federal government agencies. If
UNICOR decides not to pursue or contract for a federal job, we may notify
another manufacturer of the proposed project and pursue the federal job with
that manufacturer.
Under the second program, we
act as a sales agent for UNICOR. UNICOR will identify potential customers to us
and we will work with UNICOR to prepare customer proposals and aid customers in
obtaining project financing. UNICOR will sell the products directly to the
customers and pay us a service fee equal to 25% of the net earnings per project
for projects that are under 5 megawatts. We will negotiate the service fees for
projects that are over 5 megawatts on a project-by-project basis.
Installation
We utilize experienced
general and electrical subcontractors to install solar panel projects. The
subcontractors are responsible for obtaining licenses, carrying appropriate
insurance and adhering to the local labor and payroll requirements.
CUSTOMERS
We expect to target federal
civilian and military agencies and institutional commercial customers including
large corporations, non-governmental organizations, universities and solar
powered electric generating stations. We anticipate that the federal government
will be a key customer as a result of government mandates that require federal
agencies to improve their energy efficiency. Historically, however, we have
24
principally designed and
installed solar power systems for commercial and residential customers and
public schools, both directly and as a subcontractor.
Federal Mandates
Federal agencies must meet
energy management and renewable energy guidelines set forth in the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT), Executive Order 13423 Strengthening Federal
Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management (EO 13423) and related
regulations. In particular, EPACT directs that the following percentages of an
agencys energy consumption come from renewable energy sources:
|
|
|
3% or more in fiscal years
2007 through 2009
|
|
|
|
5% or more in fiscal years
2010 through 2012, and
|
|
|
|
7.5% or more by 2013.
|
EO 13423, on the other hand,
orders federal agencies to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 3% annually through fiscal year 2015 or by 30% by fiscal year
2015, relative to their energy use and emissions in fiscal year 2003. EO 13423
also mandates that federal agencies use sustainable practices when purchasing
products and services. Implementing instructions issued by the Department of
Energy require that agencies give preference in their procurement and
acquisition programs to energy produced from renewable sources. At least half
of the renewable energy consumed by an agency must come from renewable power
sources placed into service after January 1, 1999.
Industry
Electric power is used to
operate businesses and industries, provides the power needed for homes and
offices, and provides the power for our communications, entertainment,
transportation and medical needs. As our energy supply and distribution mix
changes, electricity is likely to be used more for local transportation
(electric vehicles) and space/water heating needs. According to the Edison
Electric Institute, the electric power industry in the U.S. is over $218
billion in size, and will continue to grow with our economy.
According to the U.S.
Department of Energy, electricity is generated from the following: coal -51%,
nuclear -21%, gas - 16%, hydro - 6%, and oil - 3%, with renewable energy contributing
3%. Renewable Energy typically refers to non-traditional energy sources,
including solar energy. Due to continuously increasing energy demands, we
believe the electric power industry faces the following challenges:
|
|
|
Limited
Energy Supplies
.
The primary fuels that have supplied this industry, fossil fuels in the form
of oil, coal and natural gas, are limited. Worldwide demand is increasing at
a time that industry experts have concluded that supply is limited.
Therefore, the increased demand will probably result in increased prices,
making it more likely that long-term average costs for electricity will
continue to increase.
|
|
|
|
Generation,
Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure Costs
. Historically, electricity has been
generated in centralized power plants transmitted over high voltage lines,
and distributed locally through lower voltage transmission lines and
transformer equipment. As electricity needs increase, these systems will need
to be expanded. Without further investments in this infrastructure, the
likelihood of power shortages (brownouts and blackouts) may increase.
|
|
|
|
Stability
of Suppliers
.
Since many of the major countries who supply fossil fuel are located in
unstable regions of the world, purchasing oil and natural gas from these
countries may increase the risk of supply shortages and cost increases.
|
|
|
|
Environmental
Concerns and Climate Change
. Concerns about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions have
resulted in the Kyoto Protocol, various states enacting stricter emissions
control laws and utilities in several states being required to comply with
renewable portfolio standards, which require the purchase of a certain amount
of power from renewable sources.
|
Solar energy is the
underlying energy source for renewable fuel sources, including biomass fuels
and hydroelectric energy. By extracting energy directly from the sun and
converting it into an immediately usable form, either as heat or electricity,
intermediate steps are eliminated. We believe, in this sense, solar energy is
one of the most direct and unlimited energy sources.
Solar energy can be
converted into usable forms of energy either through the photovoltaic effect
(generating electricity from photons) or by generating heat (solar thermal energy).
Solar thermal systems include traditional domestic hot water collectors (DHW),
swimming pool collectors, and high temperature thermal collectors (used to
generate electricity in central generating systems). DHW thermal systems are
typically distributed on rooftops so that they generate heat for the building
on which they are situated. High temperature thermal collectors typically use
concentrating mirror systems and are typically located in remote sites.
ANATOMY OF A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
25
Solar power systems convert
the energy in sunlight directly into electrical energy within solar cells based
on the photovoltaic effect. Multiple solar cells, which produce direct current,
or DC, power, are electrically interconnected into solar panels. A typical 180 watt
solar panel may have 72 individual solar cells. Multiple solar panels are
electrically wired together. The number of solar panels installed on a building
are generally selected to meet that buildings annual electrical usage, or
selected to fill available unshaded roof or ground space. Solar panels are
electrically wired to an inverter, which converts the power from DC to
alternate current, or AC, and interconnects with the utility grid.
Solar Electric Cells
. Solar electric cells convert light energy into
electricity at the atomic level. The conversion efficiency of a solar electric
cell is defined as the ratio of the sunlight energy that hits the cell divided
by the electrical energy that is produced by the cell. By improving this
efficiency, we believe solar electric energy becomes competitive with fossil
fuel sources. The earliest solar electric devices converted about 1 %-2% of
sunlight energy into electric energy. Current solar electric devices convert
5%25% of light energy into electric energy (the overall efficiency for solar
panels is lower than solar cells because of the panel frame and gaps between
solar cells), and current mass produced panel systems are substantially less
expensive than earlier systems. Effort in the industry is currently being
directed towards the development of new solar cell technology to reduce per
watt costs and increase area efficiencies.
Solar Panels
. Solar electric panels are composed of multiple solar cells, along
with the necessary internal wiring, aluminum and glass framework, and external
electrical connections. Although panels are usually installed on top of a roof
or on an external structure, certain designs include the solar electric cells
as part of traditional building materials, such as shingles and rolled out
roofing. Solar electric cells integrated with traditional shingles is usually
most compatible with masonry roofs and, while it may offset costs for other
building materials and be aesthetically appealing, it is generally more
expensive than traditional panels.
Inverters
. Inverters convert the DC power from solar panels to the AC power
used in buildings. Grid-tie inverters synchronize to utility voltage and
frequency and only operate when utility power is stable (in the case of a power
failure these grid-tie inverters shut down to safeguard utility personnel
from possible harm during repairs). Inverters also operate to maximize the
power extracted from the solar panels, regulating the voltage and current
output of the solar array based on sun intensity.
Monitoring
. There are two basic approaches to access information on the
performance of a solar power system. One approach is to collect the solar power
performance data locally from the inverter with a hard-wired connection and
then transmit that data via the Internet to a centralized database. Data on the
performance of a system can then be accessed from any device with a web
browser, including personal computers and cell phones. As an alternative to
web-based remote monitoring, most commercial inverters have a digital display
on the inverter itself that shows performance data and can also display this
data on a nearby personal computer with a hard-wired or wireless connection.
Net Metering
. The owner of a grid-connected solar electric system may not only buy,
but may also sell, electricity each month. This is because electricity
generated by the solar electric system can be used on-site or fed through a
meter into the utility grid. Utilities are required to buy power from owners of
solar electric systems (and other independent producers of electricity) under
the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (PURPA). For instance,
Californias net metering law provides that all utilities must allow customers
with solar electric systems rated up to 1.5 megawatts to interconnect with the
local utility grid and receive retail value for the electricity produced. When
a home or business requires more electricity than the solar power array is
generating (for example, in the evening), the need is automatically met by
power from the utility grid. When a home or business requires less electricity
than the solar electric system is generating, the excess is fed (or sold) back
to the utility and the electric meter actually spins backwards. Used this way,
the utility serves as a backup to the solar electric similar to the way in
which batteries serve as a backup in stand-alone systems.
Solar Power Benefits
The direct conversion of
light into energy offers the following benefits compared to conventional energy
sources:
|
|
|
Economic
Once a solar power system is installed,
the cost of generating electricity is fixed over the lifespan of the system.
There are no risks that fuel prices will escalate or fuel shortages will
develop. In addition, cash paybacks for systems range from 5 to 25 years,
depending on the level of state and federal incentives, electric rates,
annualized sun intensity and installation costs. Solar power systems at
customer sites generally qualify for net metering to offset a customers
highest electric rate tiers, at the retail, as opposed to the wholesale,
electric rate.
|
|
|
|
Convenience Solar power
systems can be installed on a wide range of sites, including small
residential roofs, the ground, covered parking structures and large
industrial buildings. Solar power systems also have few, if any, moving parts
and are generally guaranteed to operate for 25 years resulting, we believe,
in low maintenance and operating costs and reliability compared to other
forms of power generation.
|
|
|
|
Environmental We believe
solar power systems are one of the most environmentally friendly ways of
generating electricity. There are no harmful greenhouse gas emissions, no
wasted water, no noise, no waste generation and no particulates. Such
benefits continue for the life of the system.
|
26
|
|
|
Security Producing solar
power improves energy security both on an international level (by reducing
fossil energy purchases from hostile countries) and a local level (by
reducing power strains on local electrical transmission and distribution
systems).
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure Solar
power systems can be installed at the site where the power is to be used,
thereby reducing electrical transmission and distribution costs. Solar power
systems installed and operating at customer sites may also save the cost of
construction of additional energy infrastructure including power plants,
transmission lines, distribution systems and operating costs.
|
We believe the volatility of
fuel costs, environmental concerns and national energy security concerns make
it likely that the demand for solar and renewable energy solutions will grow
geometrically given federal mandates, the recent stimulus package and. The
federal government, and several states (primarily California and New Jersey),
have put a variety of incentive programs in place that directly spur the
installation of grid-tied solar power systems, so that customers will
purchase their own power generating system rather than renting power from a
local utility. These programs include:
|
|
|
Rebates to customers (or
to installers) to reduce the initial cost of the solar power system,
generally based on the size of the system. California, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut and other states have rebates that can substantially reduce
initial costs.
|
|
|
|
Tax Credits federal and
state income tax offsets, directly reducing ordinary income tax. New York and
California currently offer state tax credits. There is currently a 10%
federal tax credit up to $2,000 for residential systems, and a 30% federal
tax credit (with no cap) for business systems.
|
|
|
|
Accelerated Depreciation
solar power systems installed for businesses (including applicable home
offices) are generally eligible for accelerated depreciation.
|
|
|
|
Net Metering provides a
full retail credit for energy generated.
|
|
|
|
Feed-in Tariffs are
additional credits to consumers based on how much energy their solar power
system generates. Feed-in Tariffs set at appropriate rates have been
successfully used in Europe to accelerate growth.
|
|
|

Renewable Portfolio
Standards require utilities to deliver a certain percentage of power
generated from renewable energy sources.
|
|
|
|
Renewable Energy Credits
(RECs) are additional credits provided to customers based on the amount of
renewable energy they produce.
|
|
|
|
Solar Rights Acts state
laws to prevent unreasonable restrictions on solar power systems.
Californias Solar Rights Act has been updated several times in past years to
make it easier for customers of all types and in all locations to install a
solar power system.
|
According to PV News,
California and New Jersey account for approximately 90% of the U.S. residential
market. We believe this is largely attributable to the fact that they currently
have the most attractive incentive programs. The California Solar Initiative
provides $3.2 billion of incentives toward solar development over 11 years. In
addition, recently approved regulations in New Jersey require solar
photovoltaic power to provide 2% of New Jerseys electricity needs by 2020,
requiring the installation of 1,500 megawatts of solar electric power.
According to DSIRE (the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy) at
least 18 other states also have incentive programs. We expect that such
programs, as well as federal tax rebates and other incentives, will continue to
drive growth in the solar power market for the near future.
SALES AND MARKETING
Historically, we have
generated sales through the direct efforts of management and its preexisting
relationships. However, as we expand the breadth of our operations, our sales
and marketing program will entail our participation in industry trade shows,
individual consultations with prospective customers, hiring additional sales
personnel and direct marketing.
COMPETITION
We face intense competition
in the manufacture, design, marketing and installation of solar power systems.
We believe that we have less than 5% of the market as compared to our principal
competitors. Our principal competitors include SunPower Corporation, another
vertically integrated solar products and services company, SunEdison LLC, an
installer and integrator, and Evergreen Solar, Inc., United Solar Ovonic LLC,
Schott Solar Inc. and Kyocera Corporation, solar panel and solar cell
manufacturers. A significant number of our competitors are developing or
currently producing products based on the more advanced photovoltaic
technologies, including thin film solar module, amorphous silicon, string
ribbon and nano technologies, which may eventually offer cost advantages over
the crystalline polysilicon technologies currently used by us. However, we
believe our solar systems will provide the following benefits compared with
competitors systems:
|
|
|
superior performance
delivered by maximizing energy delivery and financial return through systems
technology design;
|
|
|
|
superior systems design to
meet customer needs and reduce cost;
|
|
|
|
superior channel breadth
and delivery capability including turnkey systems; and
|
|
|
|
significant cost savings
due to our vertically integrated structure that enables us to source our own
high quality, low-cost solar cells directly from suppliers and avoid paying
brokers fees on the cells.
|
27
We also compete against
other power generation sources including conventional fossil fuels supplied by
utilities, other alternative energy sources such as wind, biomass, concentrated
solar power and emerging distributed generation technologies such as
micro-turbines, sterling engines and fuel cells. We believe solar power has
certain advantages when compared to these other power generating technologies.
We believe solar power offers a stable power price compared to utility network
power, which typically increases as fossil fuel prices increase. In addition,
solar power systems are deployed in many sizes and configurations and do not
produce air, water and noise emissions. Most other distributed generation
technologies create environmental impacts of some sort. However, due to the
relatively high manufacturing costs compared to most other energy sources,
solar energy is generally not competitive without government incentive
programs.
Competition is intense, and
many of our competitors have significantly greater access to financial,
technical, manufacturing, marketing, management and other resources than we do.
Many also have greater name recognition, a more established distribution
network and a larger base of customers. In addition, many of our competitors
have well-established relationships with our current and potential suppliers,
manufacturing partners and customers and have extensive knowledge of our target
markets. As a result, our competitors may be able to devote greater resources
to the research, development, promotion and sale of their products and respond
more quickly to evolving industry standards and changing customer requirements
than we can. Consolidation or strategic alliances among our competitors may
strengthen these advantages and may provide them greater access to customers or
new technologies. In addition to facing competition from other solar power
system providers, our competitors may enter into strategic relationships with
or be acquired by our customers. To the extent that government funding for
research and development grants, customer tax rebates and other programs that promote
the use of solar and other renewable forms of energy are limited, we compete
for such funds, both directly and indirectly, with other renewable energy
providers and with current and potential customers.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
We are subject to a variety
of federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations related to the
purchase, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials. We are also subject
to occupational health and safety regulations designed to protect worker health
and safety from injuries and adverse health effects from exposure to hazardous
chemicals and working conditions. If we fail to comply with present or
future environmental laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines,
or a cessation of operations. In addition, under some federal, state and local
statutes and regulations, a governmental agency may seek recovery and response
costs from operators of property where releases of hazardous substances have
occurred or are ongoing, even if the operator was not responsible for the
release or otherwise was not at fault.
Any failure by us to control
the use of, or to restrict adequately the discharge of, hazardous substances
could subject us to substantial financial liabilities, operational
interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Solar
Energy Industry
We believe that economic and
national security issues, technological advances, environmental regulations
seeking to limit emissions by fossil fuel, air pollution regulations
restricting the release of greenhouse gasses, aging electricity transmission
infrastructure and depletion and limited supply of fossil fuels, has made
reliance on traditional sources of fuel for generating electricity less
attractive. Government policies, in the form of both regulation and incentives,
have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and
consumers. For example, in the U.S., EPACT enacted a 30% investment tax credit
for solar, and in January 2006 California approved the largest solar program in
the countrys history that provides for long term subsidies in the form of
rebates to encourage use of solar energy where possible.
Government
Subsidies and Incentives
Various subsidies and tax
incentive programs exist at the federal and state level to encourage the
adoption of solar power including capital cost rebates, performance-based
incentives, feed-in tariffs, tax credits and net metering. Capital cost rebates
provide funds to customers based on the cost of size of a customers solar
power system. Performance-based incentives provide funding to a customer based
on the energy produced by their solar system. Under a feed-in tariff subsidy, the
government sets prices that regulated utilities are required to pay for
renewable electricity generated by end-users. The prices are set above market
rates and may be differentiated based on system size or application. Feed-in
tariffs pay customers for solar power system generation based on kilowatt-hours
produced, at a rate generally guaranteed for a period of time. Tax credits
reduce a customers taxes at the time the taxes are due. Under net metering
programs, a customer can generate more energy than used, during which periods
the electricity meter will spin backwards. During these periods, the customer
lends electricity to the grid, retrieving an equal amount of power at a later
Net time metering programs enable end-users to sell excess solar electricity to
their local utility in exchange for a credit against their utility bills. Net
metering programs are usually combined with rebates, and do not provide cash
payments if delivered solar electricity exceeds their utility bills. In
addition, several states have adopted renewable portfolio standards, which
mandate that a certain portion of electricity delivered to customers come from
a set of eligible renewable energy resources. Under a renewable portfolio
standard, the
28
government requires
regulated utilities to supply a portion of their total electricity in the form
of renewable electricity. Some programs further specify that a portion of the
renewable energy quota must be from solar electricity.
Despite the benefits of
solar power, there are also certain risks and challenges faced by solar power.
Solar power is heavily dependent on government subsidies to promote acceptance
by mass markets. We believe that the near-term growth in the solar energy
industry depends significantly on the availability and size of these government
subsidies and on the ability of the industry to reduce the cost of generating
solar electricity. The market for solar energy products is, and will continue
to be, heavily dependent on public policies that support growth of solar energy.
There can be no assurances that such policies will continue. Decrease in the
level of rebates, incentives or other governmental support for solar energy
would have an adverse affect on our ability to sell our products.
Building
Codes
We are required to obtain
building permits and comply with local ordinances and building codes for each
project, the cost of which is included in our estimated costs for each
proposal.
EMPLOYEES

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board Determination of Independence
32
Our board of directors has
determined that Robert Lynch, Jr. cannot be deemed independent as that term
is defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations (NASDAQ) as he received compensation for consulting services for
the year ended December 31, 2008 and that Steven Hoffmann cannot be deemed
independent in light of his employment as our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation
plans
As of December 31, 2008, the
Company had no compensation plans under which equity securities were authorized
for issuance.
In February 2009, our board
of directors adopted an incentive stock option plan (the 2009 Option Plan).
Pursuant to this plan, incentive stock options or non-qualified options to
purchase an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued. The
plan may be administered by our board of directors or by a committee to which
administration of the plan, or part of the plan, may be delegated by our board
of directors. Options granted under this plan are not generally transferable by
the optionee except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order, and are exercisable during the
lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee. Options granted under the plan
vest in such increments as is determined by our board of directors or
designated committee. To the extent that options are vested, they must be
exercised within a maximum of thirty days of the end of the optionees status
as an employee, director or consultant, or within a maximum of 12 months after
such optionees termination or by death or disability, but in no event later
than the expiration of the option term. The exercise price of all stock options
granted under the plan will be determined by our board of directors or
designated committee. With respect to any participant who owns stock possessing
more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital
stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted must equal at
least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.
To date, we have 1,033,066
options outstanding under the 2009 Option Plan, all of which were issued our
Chief Executive Officer, Steven Hoffman, pursuant to the terms of his
employment agreement. Our board of directors believes in order to attract and
retain the services of executives and other key employees, it is necessary for
us to have the ability and flexibility to provide a compensation package which
compares favorably with those offered by other companies and, accordingly,
voted unanimously to adopt the 2009 Option Plan.
Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain
Control Persons
On November 1, 2007 and
December 30, 2007, respectively, the Company issued notes payable of $3,000 and
two notes each in the amount of $110,000, respectively, to Scott Schlesinger.
Mr. Schlesinger owns approximately 13% of the Companys issued and outstanding
stock. The notes bear interest at 12%, are unsecured, have a default interest
rate of 24% and are due three business days after the Company receives the cash
proceeds from certain solar panel installation jobs. The Company completed two
of the three solar panel installations in 2008. However, the stockholder
extended the repayment date of the notes to March 31, 2009. On April 1, 2009,
the Company repaid two of the three notes each in the principal amount of
$3,000 and $110,000, respectively, plus accrued interest of $16,500 in full
settlement of all amounts due on those notes.
On July 21, 2008, the
Company issued a note payable, of $900,000, to an entity controlled by Mr.
Schlesinger. 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 interest. In January 2009, the
Company repaid an additional $250,000 of principal.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of
our capital stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the
provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, with amendments, all of which have
been filed as exhibits to our registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared any
dividends to date. We have no present intention of paying any cash dividends on
our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use earnings, if
any, to generate growth. The payment by us of dividends, if any, in the future,
rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among
other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial
condition, as well as other relevant factors. There are no restrictions in our
articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends.
Capital Structure
33
Our authorized capital stock
consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The holders of our common stock:
|
|
|
|
|
Have equal ratable rights
to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared
by our Board of Directors;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are entitled to share
ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common
stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not have pre-emptive,
subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund
provisions or rights; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
Are entitled to one
non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
|
The common shares are not
subject to any future call or assessment and all have equal voting rights.
There are no special rights or restrictions of any nature attached to any of
the common shares and they all rank at equal rate or
pari passu
, each with the other, as to
all benefits, which might accrue to the holders of the common shares. All
registered stockholders are entitled to receive a notice of any general annual
meeting to be convened by our Board of Directors.
At any general meeting,
subject to the restrictions on joint registered owners of common shares, on a
showing of hands every stockholder who is present in person and entitled to
vote has one vote, and on a poll every stockholder has one vote for each common
share of which he is the registered owner and may exercise such vote either in
person or by proxy.
As of July 9, 2009, we have
outstanding warrants to purchase 9,377,500 shares of the Companys common
stock.
In connection with the
December 2008 and February 2009 financing transaction, we issued three-year
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,687,500 shares of common stock to the
investors. In addition, we issued three-year warrants to purchase 490,000
shares of common stock to the placement agents. Each Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50
per share, expiring three years from the date of issuance. We are prohibited
from effecting the exercise of these Warrants to the extent that as a result of
such exercise the holder of the exercised Warrants would beneficially own more
than 4.99% (or, if such limitation is waived by the holder upon no less than 61
days prior notice to us, 9.99%) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants. Prior to
exercise, the Warrants will not confer upon holders any voting or any other
rights as a stockholder. The Warrants contain provisions that protect the
holders against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price and number of
shares of our common stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants in certain
events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events.
Furthermore, if during the two year anniversary of the issuance date, we issue
or grant any shares of common stock or any warrants or other convertible
securities pursuant to which shares of common stock may be acquired at a per
share price (a Lower Price) less than $0.50 (subject to certain customary
exceptions, including where shares are issued in connection with employment
arrangements or business combinations in which a portion of the consideration
may be payable in shares or convertible securities with a business in
substantially the same line of business as the Company), then the exercise
price of the Warrants shall be reduced to the Lower Price. Finally, should we
fail to achieve at least $17.5 million of consolidated gross revenue within one
year of the final closing of the Private Placement, the exercise price shall be
reduced to $0.01 per share. If at any time following the one year anniversary
of the Merger there is no effective registration statement registering the
resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, the holders of
the Warrants have the right to exercise the Warrants by means of a cashless
exercise.
As of July 9, 2009, we have
outstanding options to purchase 1,033,066 shares of the Companys common stock
which were issued under the Companys 2009 Stock Option Plan. The options were
issued to our Chief Executive Officer, Steven Hoffman, pursuant to the terms of
his employment agreement
We refer you to our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws which form a part of this registration
statement and to the applicable statutes of the State of Delaware for a more
complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our
securities.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes us to Indemnify any director or
officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain
limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys fees
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which
a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it
is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. Our Certificate of
Incorporation contains provisions relating to the indemnification of director
and officers and our By-Laws extends such indemnities to the full extent
permitted by Delaware law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the
benefit of any director or officer, which may cover claims for which the
Company could not indemnify such persons.
34
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On January 22, 2009, our
board of directors dismissed Weinberg & Associates LLC (Weinberg) as the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm.
During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, and any subsequent period through January 29, 2009, (i)
there were no disagreements between us and Weinberg on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weinberg would have
caused Weinberg to make reference to the matter in its reports on the Companys
financial statements, and (ii) Except as described below, Weinbergs reports on
our financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. Weinbergs audit report for the year ended December 31, 2007 stated
that several factors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern and that the financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. During the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and through January 29, 2009, there were no
reportable events as the term described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K.
On January 22, 2009, we
engaged Berman & Company, P.A. (Berman) as our independent registered
public accounting firm for the Companys fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The change in the Companys independent registered public accounting firm was
approved by the Companys Board of Directors on January 22, 2009.
During the year ended
December 31, 2007 and any subsequent period through January 22, 2009, the
Company did not consult with Berman regarding either (i) the application
of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial
statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or
event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common
stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman
Ference LLP, 61 Broadway, New York, New York 10006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board
of Directors and Stockholders of:
IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for
the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted
our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 (consolidated) and 2007 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
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 managements 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
F-6
IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
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 Companys 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.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
Revenue recognition
The Company
follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commissions 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 Companys 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 physical loss of inventory in each
of these arrangements, takes title to the inventory, is the primary obligor in
the arrangements, establishes the pricing with customers, has discretion in the
selection of suppliers, determines product specifications with customers and
suppliers and it has credit risk on all sales. 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 Companys 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.
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 Companys 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.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
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 Companys
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),

. 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 Companys 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 Companys 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

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 Companys 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 Companys 2008 fiscal year. The adoption of
SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on the Companys 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 parents ownership of a
noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net
income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a
parents 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
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 ActivitiesAn 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 entitys 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 entitys 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 SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards
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.

In June 2008,
the Company entered into an agreement with Federal Prison Industries, Inc.
(UNICOR), under which UNICOR provides the labor for assembly and production
of solar panels to the Company, and the Company sells the solar panels to
Federal, civilian and military government customers of both the Company and
this customer. The agreement has a term of five years. Under the UNICOR
contract, the Company is obligated to perform sales under two separate sales
and marketing programs: 1) IX shall actively market to and solicit customers,
prepare customer proposals and aid customers in obtaining project financing
while UNICOR assembles and produces solar panels and fabricates and assembles
the product. Pricing is $0.55 per watt for panel fabrication plus the price of
photovoltaic cells that will be added to the price per unit. 2) IX may act as a
sales agent for UNICOR. UNICOR may identify potential customers and refer them
to IX. In this program, IX and UNICOR may work together to prepare customer
proposals and to aid customers in obtaining project financing. Since UNICOR
will sell directly to customers in this program, pricing is such that UNICOR
will pay a service fee of 25% of the net earnings on the project to IX when
payment is received from customers.
In June 2008,
the Company received $6,800,000 from UNICOR for the supply of solar cells. This
amount was initially recorded as deferred revenue. Shipment of these solar
cells began in October 2008. At December 31, 2008, the Company has recognized
revenue based on shipments under this agreement of $5,003,762. The balance, of
$1,796,238, remains in deferred revenue and is expected to be earned in 2009.

In June 2008,
the Company entered into an agreement, under which a supplier provides the
labor for the assembly and production of solar panels to the Company, and the
Company sells the solar panels to a third party. The agreement has a term of
one year. In July and September 2008, the Company received $1,897,335 from this
customer for the shipment of solar panels. This amount was initially recorded
as deferred revenue. At December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $1,009,740 of
revenue. The balance, of $887,595, remains in deferred revenue and is expected
to be earned in 2009.
Note 4 - Affiliate Charge to Equity
In 2008 and
2007, a Company related to the Companys Chief Executive Officer collected
certain funds on contracts entered into by the Company. The affiliated entity
did not have the ability to repay these funds that the Company was entitled to.
As a result, the Company recorded a charge to additional paid in capital of
$44,325 and $35,048, respectively, to reflect the uncollectible receivable from
this related party.

Note 6 - Guarantee 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 customer
being the beneficiary, if the Company defaults on their monthly delivery
agreement. The Companys Chief Executive Officer has provided a personal
guarantee of $800,000 on behalf of the Company for the letter of credit. In
exchange for the personal guarantee, the Company issued 2,031,030 shares of the
Companys common stock, having a fair value of $60,473 ($0.03/share) based upon
the then recent cash offering price. The letter of credit expired in August
2008. However, the bank extended the letter of credit until August 7, 2009. The
full amount of the letter of credit remains available for use and has not been
drawn down.

guarantee, the Company issued 1,015,494 shares of the Companys common stock to
each stockholder, having a total fair value of $60,473 ($0.03/share), based
upon the recent cash offering price to third parties.
The letter of
credit was released in February 2009, as the Company fulfilled its obligation
under the terms of its government contract with UNICOR.
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 interest.
(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 other of
$500,000 and $0, respectively and related accrued interest payable of $12,071
and $0, respectively.
Note 8 - Stockholders Equity
(A) Share Issuances
On July 17,
2007, the Company issued 8,327,138 shares of common stock for $247,940 ($0.03/
share).
On June 30,
2008, the Company issued 83,271 shares of common stock to a related party
shareholder for consulting services provided to the Company. For the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded consulting fees of
$2,479 ($0.03/share) and $0, respectively. The fair value of the stock issuance
was based upon the then recent cash offerings to third parties.

(B) 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 and had a fair value of $0 as of December 31,
2008.
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
agreement. 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, Yoos 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 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
(A) Litigations, claims and assessments
From time to
time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal
proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However,
litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these
or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business. The
Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that
they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse
affect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
(B) Employment agreements

On May 1,
2008, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with an

bonus for services rendered prior to this agreement. The individual is also

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 and city
income taxes, a blended rate of 45.86%) as follows:

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
On December 30, 2008, the
Company executed a reverse acquisition with a public shell company (See Note
9). The accompanying financial statements are consolidated as of March 31,
2009. The financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
consist solely of IX Energy, Inc., the accounting acquirer and are not
consolidated.
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 manufactures,
designs, markets and installs its own solar power systems, the Company plans to
manufacture solar modules that will be marketed primarily to federal military
and civilian agencies.
Going Concern
As reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $4,859,279 and
net cash used in operations of $2,396,683 for the three months ended March 31,
2009; and had a working capital deficit of $70,325, and an accumulated deficit
of $6,331,044 at March 31, 2009.
The ability of the Company
to continue its operations is dependent on managements plans, which include
the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional
funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until
such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working
capital requirements.
The Company believes its
current available cash, along with anticipated revenues, may be insufficient to
meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that
financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if
at all. The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its
current and expected future operations, as well as to achieve its strategic
objectives. The Company believes that the further implementation of its
business plan will provide future positive cash flows.
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.
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 Companys 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance exceeded
the federally insured limit by $1,847,169 and $4,249,256, 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
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, no allowance was required.
At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company had a concentration of accounts
receivable from one customer totaling 100%.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a concentration of sales with one
customer totaling 98% and 0%.
F-5
IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
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 period ended March 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008,
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 options and
warrants to purchase 1,033,066 and 9,377,500 common shares, respectively, as of
March 31, 2009. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents at March 31,
2008. 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 Companys net loss during
2009 and 2008.
As a result of the stock
dividend and reverse acquisition and recapitalization (see Notes 8 and 9), 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, prepaid expenses, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, notes payable related party, notes payable other,
accrued interest payable related party and accrued interest payable other
and deferred revenue approximates its fair market value based on the short-term
maturity of these instruments.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the
guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commissions 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.
F-6
IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
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 Companys 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 physical loss of inventory in each
of these arrangements, takes title to the inventory, is the primary obligor in
the arrangements, establishes the pricing with customers, has discretion in the
selection of suppliers, determines product specifications with customers and
suppliers and it has credit risk on all sales.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 Companys
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.
For the three months ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, approximately 2% and 0% 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 Companys 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 three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company had no such
revenues or expenses.
Foreign currency transactions
The Companys 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 Companys 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 $0 and $0 for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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).
Segment information
The Company follows
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.
During 2009 and 2008, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore,
segment information has not been presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements
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 parents ownership of a
noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net
income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a
parents 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 did
not have a material effect on the Companys 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 Companys results of operations and financial
condition for acquisitions previously completed. The adoption of SFAS No. 141R
did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In October 2008, the
FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3,
Determining the
Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market For That Asset Is Not Active
(FSP FAS 157-3), with an immediate effective date, including prior periods
for which financial statements have not been issued. FSP FAS 157-3 amends FAS
157 to clarify the application of fair value in inactive markets and allows for
the use of managements internal assumptions about future cash flows with
appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data
does not exist. The objective of FAS 157 has not changed and continues to be
the determination of the price that would be received in an orderly transaction
that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. The
adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB
issued FSP SFAS 157-4,
Determining Whether
a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed
, which
further clarifies the principles established by SFAS No. 157. The guidance is
effective for the periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption
permitted for the periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS
157-4 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys 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.

In June 2008, the Company
entered into an agreement with Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (UNICOR),
under which UNICOR provides the labor for assembly and production of solar
panels to the Company, and the Company sells the solar panels to Federal,
civilian and military government customers of both the Company and this
customer. The agreement has a term of five years.
Under the UNICOR contract, the Company is obligated to perform sales under two separate sales and marketing programs: 1) IX shall
actively market to and solicit customers, prepare customer proposals and aid customers in obtaining project financing while UNICOR
assembles and produces solar panels and fabricates and assembles the product. Pricing is $0.55 per watt for panel fabrication plus
the price of photovoltaic cells that will be added to the price per unit. 2) IX may act as a sales agent for UNICOR. UNICOR may
identify potential customers and refer them to IX. In this program, IX and UNICOR may work together to prepare customer proposals and
to aid customers in obtaining project financing. Since UNICOR will sell directly to customers in this program, pricing is such that
UNICOR will pay a service fee of 25% of the net earnings on the project to IX when payment is received from customers.
In June 2008, the Company
received $6,800,000 from UNICOR for the supply of solar cells. This amount was
initially recorded as deferred revenue. Shipment of these solar cells began in
October 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
has recognized revenue based on completion of shipments under this agreement of
$1,831,238 and $0, respectively.
In June 2008, the Company
entered into an agreement, under which a supplier provides the labor for the
assembly and production of solar panels to the Company, and the Company sells
the solar panels to a third party. The agreement has a term of one year. In
July and September 2008, the Company received $1,897,335 from this customer for
the shipment of solar panels. This amount was initially recorded as deferred
revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company
recognized $0 and $0 of revenue, respectively. The balance, of $887,595,
remains in deferred revenue and is expected to be earned in 2009.
Note 4 Affiliate Charge to Equity
For the three months ended
March 31, 2008, a Company related to the Companys Chief Executive Officer
collected certain funds on contracts entered into by the Company. The
affiliated entity did not have the ability to repay these funds that the
Company was entitled to. As a result, the Company recorded a charge to
additional paid in capital of $51,930 to reflect the uncollectible receivable
from this related party.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
The solar panel equipment,
purchased for $1,550,000, was not in service at March 31, 2009. The Company
expects to place this asset in service by the third quarter of fiscal year end
2009.
Note 6 Guarantee 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 customer being the beneficiary, if
the Company defaults on their monthly delivery agreement. The Companys Chief
Executive Officer has provided a personal guarantee of $800,000 on behalf of
the Company for the letter of credit. In exchange for the personal guarantee,
the Company issued 2,031,030 shares of the Companys common stock, having a
fair value of $60,473 ($0.03/share) based upon the then recent cash offering
price. The letter of credit expired in August 2008. However, the bank extended
the letter of credit until August 7, 2009.
On June 30, 2008, two third
party shareholders also provided personal guarantees, of $400,000 each, for the
letter of credit. In exchange for the personal guarantee, the Company issued
1,015,494 shares of the Companys common stock to each stockholder, having a
total fair value of $60,473 ($0.03/share), based upon the recent cash offering
price to third parties.
The letter of credit was
released in February 2009, as the Company fulfilled its obligation under the
terms of its government contract with UNICOR.
Note 7 Loans, Notes and Accrued Interest Payable
(A) Notes Payable & Accrued Interest Payable Related
Party
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 2 of the 3 solar panel installations
in 2008. However, the stockholder extended the repayment date of the notes to
March 31, 2009. On April 1, 2009, the Company repaid principal of $3,000 and
$110,000 of notes payable due to this related party stockholder. On that date,
the Company also repaid interest of $16,500 related to the $3,000 and $110,000
notes on the same date in full settlement of all interest amounts due on those
notes.
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 January 2009, the Company repaid an additional
$250,000 of principal. The balance due on this note as of March 31, 2009 is principal

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.
As of March 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company recorded amortization of debt issue costs to interest expense
of $5,881 and $0, respectively.

the Company issued an additional 1,812,500 shares of common stock and 1,952,500
warrants, inclusive of 140,000 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 agreement.
The Company will not record a registration rights liability in connection with
this offering.

As
a result of the offering on December 30, 2008, the Company issued 9,177,500
warrants, inclusive of 490,000 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 and had a fair value of $ 249,900 and $0 at
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company also issued

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 did not apply for purposes of presenting pro-forma financial
information.
Pursuant to the Merger,
Yoos 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 10 Commitments and Contingencies
(A) Litigations, claims and assessments
From time to time, the
Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which
arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to
inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may
arise from time to time that may harm its business.
A complaint was filed in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York by a vendor seeking to recover the sum
of $101,820, plus costs and disbursements. The Company believes this complaint
is without merit. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has accrued $29,900 based
on actual invoices received from this vendor.
A complaint was filed in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York by the holder of a promissory note
seeking a summary judgment for repayment of the noteholders $150,000 original
investment plus interest. The Company believes this complaint is without merit.

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes us to Indemnify any director or
officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain
limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorneys fees
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which
a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it
is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. Our Certificate of
Incorporation contains provisions relating to the indemnification of director
and officers and our By-Laws extends such indemnities to the full extent
permitted by Delaware law. We may also purchase and maintain insurance for the
benefit of any director or officer, which may cover claims for which the
Company could not indemnify such persons.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
|
On February 25, 2009,
we accepted subscriptions for a total of 7.25 Units or gross proceeds of
$725,000, consisting of an aggregate of 1,812,500 shares of the Companys
common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and three-year Warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 1,812,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50
per share for a purchase price of $100,000 per Unit pursuant to the terms of a
Confidential Private Offering Memorandum, dated August 22, 2008, as supplemented.
The Private Placement was
made solely to accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D
under the Securities Act. The securities sold in the Private Placement were not
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and
were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded
by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and
corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering.
We agreed to pay the
placement agents commissions of 8% of the aggregate purchase price of units
sold to investors in the private placement. In addition, certain placement
agents also received three-year warrants to purchase such number of shares of
common stock equal to 8% of the common stock sold to the investors in the
private placement, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
II-
During the year ended

three-year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,875,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a purchase price of $100,000
per Unit pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Private Offering Memorandum,

The Private Placement was
made solely to accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D
under the Securities Act. The securities sold in the Private Placement were not
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and
were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded
by Section 4(2) and Regulation ID (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and
corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by
an issuer not involving any public offering.
We agreed to pay the
placement agents commissions of 8% of the aggregate purchase price of units
sold to investors in the Private Placement. In addition, certain placement
agents also received three-year warrants to purchase such number of shares of
common stock equal to 4% of the common stock on which the cash fee is payable,
at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.
As of April 30, 2008, we
issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to 44 investors in a fully subscribed
private placement made pursuant to the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Regulation S. The consideration
paid for such shares was $0.025 per share, amounting in the aggregate to
$50,000. Each purchaser represented to us that such purchaser was not a United
States person (as defined in Regulation S) and was not acquiring the shares for
the account or benefit of a United States person. Each purchaser further
represented that at the time of the origination of contact concerning the
subscription for the units and the date of the execution and delivery of the
subscription agreement for such units, such purchaser was outside of the United
States. We did not make any offers in the United States, and there were no
selling efforts in the United States. There were no underwriters or
broker-dealers involved in the private placement and no underwriting discounts
or commissions were paid.
On November 14, 2007, we
issued 2,700,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Zvi Pessahc Frank, a former
Director and the former President of the Company. The purchase price paid for
such shares was equal to their par value, $0.0001 per share, and amounted in
the aggregate to $270. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Mr. Frank was a Director and officer of the
Company and had access to all of the information which would be required to be
included in a registration statement, and the transaction did not involve a
public offering.
On November 19, 2007, we
issued 1,100,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Moshe Nachum Bergshtein, our
former Secretary, Treasurer and Director. The purchase price paid for such
shares was equal to their par value, $0.0001 per share, and amounted in the
aggregate to of $110. The shares were issued under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Ms. Bergshtein was an officer and Director
of the Company and had access to all of the information which would be required
to be included in a registration statement, and the transaction did not involve

Consent of Berman &
Company, P.A.
|
* Filed herewith.
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes to:
(1)
File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the Securities Act);
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together,
represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration
statement, and
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2)
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3)
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
II-
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.
In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
(4)
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying
on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on
Rule 430A
,
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of
the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement
that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of first use.
II-
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly
caused this registration statement to be singed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, , in the city of New York, in the State
of New York, on July 10, 2009.
