Our margin on the resale of solar panels was approximately 4% for 2008. We expect our margins to increase significantly going forward as we now have a more stable arrangement with our suppliers.
Our margin on our construction in progress contracts for 2008 was approximately 25% as compared to a negative margin in 2007. We believe that our margin in 2008 is representative of our contracts going forward.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Revenues.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded revenues of $118,638 as compared to $4,645,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. A decrease of $4,490,131 was related to a few resale transactions for solar panels in the three months of 2008 that did not occur in the three months of 2009. The remaining decrease of $37,119 was related to our construction in progress contracts as we completed more projects in 2008 than in 2009.
Cost of Sales.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded cost of sales of $107,131 as compared to cost of sales of $4,526,936 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. A decrease of $4,399,231 was related to the cost of purchasing solar panels for resale in 2008 that did not occur in 2009. The remaining decrease of $20,574 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 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 2 % for the three months ended June 30, 2008. 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 June 30, 2009 was approximately (82%) as compared to 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Operating Expenses.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded operating expenses of $1,186,323, as compared to operating expenses of $299,304 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing an increase of $
887,019. This increase in operating expenses was primarily made up of approximately $163,000 for increased hiring in 2009 for our management and administrative staff, approximately $276,000 related to legal, consulting and accounting expenses, approximately $181,000 related to stock option expense, $108,000 related to a loss on sale of a fixed asset, and approximately $70,000 related to common stock issued for services.

This increase in loss from operations was primarily due to increased operation expenses by
$ 887,019 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008 due to our net losses during these periods and the valuation allowances on the resulting deferred tax assets.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

representing an increase of $5,7 44,457. This increase in loss from operations was primarily due to increased operation expenses by $6,0 03, 214 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 six months ended June 30, 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
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,284,336, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $4,736,812 as of December 31, 2008.
Net Cash used in Operating Activities.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,303,808. This was primarily due to a net loss of $5,697,004, change in fair value of derivative liability $1,827,368, decrease in deferred revenues $1,796,238, increase in accounts receivables and prepaid totaling $223,070. This was partially offset by non-cash expense (derivative expense $1,422,917 related to warrants issued in our equity financing, and stock issued for services and compensation totaling $4,867,74 7 , and a decrease in accounts payable of $157,888). Our net cash used in operations was primarily used to cover our overhead and professional fees.
Net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $5,629,071. This was primarily due to a cash advance of $6,800,000 we received from one of our customer s and stock issued for services and loan cost s totaling $1,542,119. This was partially offset by our net loss of $1,757,140 and a $1,071,110 increase in prepaid and accounts receivable.
21
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $3,303,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to cash provided by of $5,629,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due to net loss of $ 5,697,004 , decreases in deferred revenue of $1,796,238 (deferred revenue decreased as we received payment in the prior period and shipped to the customer in the quarter ended March 31, 2009), a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $157,888 (as the company sought ways to cut expenses and pay off old unpaid balances), a change in fair value of derivative liability based upon revaluation at June 30, 2009 of $1,827,368, an increase in accounts receivable of $108,636 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $114,434. This was partially offset by derivative expense related to warrants issued on the private placement of $1,422,917, issuance of common stock for consulting services of $707,474, common stock issued to employees for
services rendered of $3,675,30 3 , and employee stock-based compensation related to stock options of $461,195.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $253,893 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was comprised of purchases of property and equipment for $266,893 and proceeds from the sale of a fixed asset for $13,000.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $105,225 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $38,252 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 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 $418,000 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 six months ended June 30, 2008, our cash provided by financing activities was comprised of $38,252 proceeds from issuance of notes payable from related party.
Going Concern
As Restated
As reflected in our June 30, 2009 financial statements, we had a net loss of $5,697,004, net cash used in operations of $3,303,808 and had a working capital deficit of $1,542,146 and an accumulated deficit of $ 9,952,944.
The ability for us to continue our operations is dependent on our ability to raise a minimum of $3 million of additional of capital through debt and/or equity markets.
The $3 million capital is needed to:
Repay $500,000 of bridge notes that are currently past due.
Pay past due payables $500,000.
Working capital of $2,000,000.
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.
Although we recently raised an aggregate of $3.475 million in a private placement, our ultimate success depends 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.
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.

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. 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.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates, which require the most significant management estimates and judgment in determining amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are as follows:
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 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. At June 30,
2009 and December 2008, the Company recognized a rebate for $15,958 and a rebate
for $95,000, respectively, related to completed projects. These rebates
are not a part of every installation contract as dictated by the terms of each
contract. At the completion of a solar installation project we record a
receivable from the electric company. 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 no
allowance was required.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had a concentration of accounts receivable from two customers and one customer totaling 100%. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a concentration of sales with four customers totaling 100%. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had a concentration of sales with four customers totaling 100%.
Revenue Recognition.
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's 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. 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.
(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.
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.
|
|
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 customer's 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 customer's 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.
24
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 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 agency's 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.
|
25
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
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 building's 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.
26
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, California's 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 customer's 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.
|
|
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.
|
27
|
|
|
|
|
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. California's 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 Jersey's 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.
|
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
28
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 country's 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 customer's 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 customer's 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 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board Determination of Independence
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
33
must be exercised within a maximum of thirty days of the end of the optionee's status as an employee, director or consultant, or within a maximum of 12 months after such optionee's 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 5,101,131 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
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.
34
As of October 6 , 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
October 6 , 2009, we have outstanding options to purchase
5,101,131 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 attorney's 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.
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 Company's 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
35
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
Company's 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 Company's 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 an d 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.
As discussed in Notes 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been restated.
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
(As Restated)
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.
Restatement
The Company previously issued common stock at a valuation per share that was
not reflective of the fair value of these issuances. The Company has
retroactively considered various factors, including the timeline of events
within the Companys evolution, status as a private company at the date of
these issuances, valuation of stock issued to third parties for services
rendered, and the raising of cash proceeds in a private placement during 2008.
The initial valuation of the shares being restated were originally valued at
$0.03/share, the result of the restatement required these share issuances to be
fair valued at $0.37/share.
The affected accounts have been restated to correctly reflect the appropriate
fair value adjustments. Accordingly, the financial statements have been
restated as follows:

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 Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties
including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including
the potential risk of business failure.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk
associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its
primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured
limits. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the balance exceeded the federally
insured limit by $4,249,256 and $76,160, respectively.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 (Consolidated) and 2007
(As Restated)
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. For percentage of 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.
At December
31, 2008, the Company recognized a rebate for $95,000 related to completed
projects. These rebates are not a part of every installation contract as
dictated by the terms of each contract.
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.

(As Restated)
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.

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),
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 $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 follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information."
During 2008 and 2007, the Company only operated in one
segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.
157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), which
clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that
market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. It also
defines fair value and established a hierarchy that prioritizes the information
used to develop assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS
No. 157 did not have a material effect on the 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 fin ancial 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
(As Restated)
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 h ave 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.

Energy Reseller Contracts
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. We have not sold any solar panels under this agreement.

(As Restated)
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 11 - Income Taxes As Restated
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, 062 ,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 $4 72 ,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:

(B) 2009 Stock Option Plan
On February 17, 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Incentive Stock Plan

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Form 10-K,
which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Managements Discussion and Analysis, for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The interim results for the period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative
of the results for the full fiscal year.
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 June 30, 2009. The financial statements for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008, consist solely of IX Energy, Inc., the accounting acquirer and are not consolidated.
Restatement
The Company previously issued common stock at a valuation per share that was not reflective of the fair value of these issuances.
The Company has retroactively considered various factors, including the timeline of events within the Companys evolution,
status as a private company at the date of these issuances, valuation of stock issued to third parties for services rendered, and the
raising of cash proceeds in a private placement during 2008. The initial valuation of the shares being restated were originally valued
at $0.03/share, the result of the restatement required these share issuances to be fair valued at $0.37/share.
The affected accounts have been restated to correctly reflect the appropriate fair value adjustments. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated as follows:

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.
On March 25, 2009, the Company incorporated IX Geo, LLC (IX Geo) under the
laws of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of IX Energy.
On March 25, 2009, the Company formed IX Legatus6, LLC under the laws of Delaware as a
wholly owned subsidiary of IX Energy. On July 21, 2009, the Company changed the name of IX Legatus6, LLC to IX Energy Solutions, LLC (IX Solutions).
As of June 30, 2009, neither of these subsidiaries was operational.
Going Concern
As Restated
As reflected in our June 30, 2009 financial statements, we had a net loss of $5,697,004, net cash used in operations of
$3,303,808 and had a working capital deficit of $1,542,146 and an accumulated deficit of $ 9,952,944.
The ability for us to continue our operations is dependent on our ability to
raise a minimum of $3 million of additional of capital through debt and/or
equity markets.
The $3 million capital is needed to:
Repay $500,000 of bridge notes that are currently past due.
Pay past due payables $500,000.
Working capital of $2,000,000.
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.
Although we recently raised an aggregate of $3.475 million in a private
placement, our ultimate success depends 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.
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.
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 global credit crisis. The Company's operations are subject to significant
risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of
its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
the balance exceeded the federally insured limit by $943,327 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.
For percentage of 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. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company recognized a rebate for $15,958 and a rebate for $95,000, respectively, related to completed projects. These rebates
are not a part of every installation contract as dictated by the terms of each contract
.
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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, no
allowance was required.
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company had a concentration of accounts receivable
from two customers totaling 44% and 56%, and one customer totaling 100%, respectively.

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
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 June 30, 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 :
|
|
Stock options
|
4,901,132
|
Stock warrants
|
9,377,500
|
Total potential dilutive securities at June 30, 2009
|
14,278,632
|
Since the three months ending June 30, 2009 resulted in income, these potentially dilutive shares, consisting
of outstanding options and warrants, have been included in the computation of diluted earnings per share and the weighted average
shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive. The average market price for the three months ended June 30, 2009
was less than the exercise price, so the basic and diluted earnings per share computation was the same. For the six months ended
June 30, 2009, 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 due to the Companys net loss during the period. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents at June 30, 2008.
As a result of the stock dividend and reverse acquisition and recapitalization (see Notes 8 and 9), all share
and per share amounts were 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, deferred revenue and derivative liability warrants, approximates its fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Derivative financial instruments
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires bifurcation
of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion options and warrants, and measurement of their fair value for accounting
purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the
convertible debt instruments, management first reviews the guidance of EITF No.s 98-5, 00-27 and 05-2 as well as SFAS No. 150
to determine if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion
feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its
evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end,
with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.
In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. In assessing the nature of a financial instrument as freestanding, the Company has applied the guidance pursuant to EITF No.s 00-19.
Finally, the Company has applied the related guidance in EITF No.s 00-19-2 and 05-4 as well as SFAS No. 5 when determining the existence of
liquidated damage provisions. At June 30, 2009, the Company had various derivative 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.
Periodically, the Company enters 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.
6
IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
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 six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had a concentration of sales with one customer totaling 92%. For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company had a concentration with one customer of 99%.
(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.
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 and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company had no such revenues or expenses.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
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.
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
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
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.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165
Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the balance
sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events
or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about
events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.
The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on its
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB
Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166). SFAS 166 improves the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if
any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning
of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after
November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period
and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is
evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial
statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167).
SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable
interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying
special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about
the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including
those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not
always provide timely and useful information about an enterprises
involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that
begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual
reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The
Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.
168 The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(Codification) will be the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are
also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing
accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other
accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The
Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 168 will have on its
financial statements.
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.

Energy Reseller Contracts
In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with
Federal Prison Industries, Inc. ("UNICOR"), under which UNICOR
provided the labor for assembly and production of solar panels to the Company,
and the Company sold 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:
● 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.
● 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 six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, the Company has recognized revenue based on completion of shipments
under this agreement of $1,796,238 and $0, respectively.
We have not sold any solar panels under this agreement.
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 six months
ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 $42,823
to reflect the uncollectible receivable from this related party.
Note 5 Property and Equipment

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
The solar panel equipment, purchased for $1,550,000, was
not in service at June 30, 2009 as the Company is currently looking for suitable
manufacturing warehouse space to install the equipment to manufacture its own
solar panels. The Company expects to place this asset in service by the
end of fiscal year 2009.
Note 6 Guarantee Letter of Credit
- As Restated
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 $
751,481
($0.
37
/share) based upon the fair
value of stock issued to a third party for services rendered . The
letter of credit expired in August 2008. However, the bank extended the
letter of credit until August 7, 2009. The letter of credit was released
in February 2009, as the Company fulfilled its obligation under the terms of its
government contract with UNICOR.
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

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
(As Restated)
Total unrecognized share-based compensation expense
from non-vested stock options at June 30, 2009 was $987,938, which is expected
to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately of 1.68
years.
(D) Private Placement and Registration Rights
Agreement
During the six months ended June 30,
2009, the Company sold 7.25 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 $.50 per
share. Gross proceeds for these additional units were $725,000 and the
Company paid direct offering costs of $201,775. As a result of the
offering, 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 total warrants of 490,000 that were paid as a
direct offering cost have a net effect of zero on the statement of equity and
had a fair value of $48,975 (See Note 8(F) for additional detail).
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.
(E) Consulting Agreements
On March 20, 2009, the Company entered into a one-year
agreement with a consultant to provide investor relation services. In
addition to monthly fees of $5,500, the Company issued a five-year warrant to

Fair Value and Assessment of Derivative Financial Instruments under EITF 07-5
The Company had two offerings of equity based financing.
The first was on December 30, 2008, and the second was on February 25,
2009.
As a result of the offering on December 30, 2008, the
Company issued 7,225,000 warrants, inclusive of 350,000 warrants paid to a
placement agent as a direct offering cost. The warrants have a 3 year
term. The exercise price is $0.50
.
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 $63,993 at December 31, 2008.
During the two year anniversary from the issuance
date, if the Company issues or grants 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 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 the Company
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. The private placement closed on February
25, 2009.
If at any time following the one year anniversary of the
reverse merger (See Note 1) 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.
In connection with the adoption of EITF 07-05,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to
an Entitys Own Stock
, (EITF 07-05) on January 1,
2009, the Company determined that the embedded conversion feature in the
warrants is not indexed to the Companys own stock and, therefore, is an
embedded derivative financial liability (the Embedded Derivative),
which requires bifurcation and to be separately accounted for pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company, due to both provisions,
concluded that neither embedded feature (ratchet down of exercise price or
contingent revenue) is indexed to its own stock.
The Company measured the fair value of these
warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model based upon the date in which EITF
07-5, if effective, would have established a commitment date since these
warrants were not indexed to the Companys own stock. As a result of the
application of EITF 07-5, the fair value of the 7,225,000 warrants was
determined to be $1,320,995 based upon the following management assumptions:
|
|
Exercise price
|
$0.50
|
Expected dividends

|
Risk fee interest rate
|
0.94%
|
Expected life of warrant in years
|
3.00
|
Expected forfeitures
|
0%
|
The fair value of these warrants was charged
to accumulated deficit on January 1, 2009, as a cumulative adjustment due to a
change in accounting principle.
On February 25, 2009, the date of the
closing of the second offering, the Company granted 1,952,500 warrants, having a
fair value of $1,422,917. The warrants have a 3 year term. The exercise price is
$0.50
.
These warrants were inclusive of 140,000 warrants paid to a

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
June 30, 2009, the Company has accrued $29,900 based on actual invoices received
from this vendor.
The Company in turn filed an arbitration before the Joint
Committee on Fee Disputes and Conciliation in dispute of attorneys fees
against the above-referenced vendor to recover fees of $40,000. The case
is currently in progress and the outcome is undeterminable.
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 has recorded $7,192 of interest on this note while this case
is in progress.

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 attorney's
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.
II-1
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.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we accepted subscriptions for a total of 27.5 Units in the Private Placement or gross proceeds of $2,750,000, consisting of an aggregate of 6,875,000 shares of the our common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 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, dated August 22, 2008, as supplemented.

We agreed to pay the placement agents commissions of 8% of the aggregate purchase price of units sold to investors in the Private Placement.

2008, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock to 44 investors in a fully

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.

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.
II-3
(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.
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.
