PART

Item 1. Description
of Business
Business
Development
On July 19, 2005, National Healthcare
Technology, Inc., (now Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc.) a Colorado corporation,
(the "Company", "us" or "we") completed the acquisition of Special Stone
Surfaces, Es3, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Es3") pursuant to the terms of an
Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Crown
Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation and at such time, the largest
stockholder of the Company ("Crown Partners"), Es3, and certain stockholders of
Es3 (the "Es3 Stockholders"). The transactions effected by the Exchange
Agreement have been accounted for as a reverse merger. As a result of the
transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, we had one active operating
subsidiary, Es3. Es3 was formed on January 27, 2005 and began operations in
March 2005. Effective October 1, 2005, we transferred all of the capital stock
of Es3 that we acquired under the Exchange Agreement to Liquid Stone Partners
("Liquid Stone") in exchange for Liquid Stone assuming all known and unknown
liabilities of Es3.
Business of
Issuer
Upon the close of the acquisition of
Es3 by the Company on July 19, 2005, we intended to use the public markets to
secure additional working capital and to make acquisitions using either common
stock or cash. A significant component of the intermediate term growth strategy
was the acquisition and integration of companies in related building materials
fields. However, with little or no investor interest in Es3 and its products we
were unable to secure necessary working capital through the public market to
develop a commercially viable market for our products.
On April
3, 2006, our Board of Director's approved a change of direction for the Company,
from the business of manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and
finishes, to the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral
lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and
maintaining the assets of such operations. Pursuant to an agreement effective
retroactively to October 1, 2005, we transferred all of the capital stock of Es3
that we acquired under the Exchange Agreement to Liquid Stone Partners ("Liquid
Stone") in exchange for Liquid Stone assuming all known and unknown liabilities
of Es3.
In
furtherance of this change of direction, we entered into consulting agreements
with third parties to provide business management services and advice as it
relates to our future. As of December 31, 2007 the agreements were either
completed or cancelled as the services, which were to include the drafting and
preparation of business plans, operating budgets, cash flow projections and
other business management services as we move into the oil and gas business,
were not moving the company forward in its new direction.
The
Company is in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7.
Item 2.
Properties.
The
Company currently shares an office at 15851 Dallas Parkway, Suite 190, Addison,
Texas 75001. . As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no future
rental commitments.
Item
3. Legal Proceedings.
We are
not a party to any material pending legal proceeding and no such action by or,
to the best of our knowledge, against us have been threatened.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a
Vote of Security Holders

Holders
As of December 31, 2007, there were
approximately 147 shareholders of record (in street name) of our common
stock.
Dividends
We have not declared nor paid cash
dividends or made distributions in the past, and we do not anticipate that we
will pay cash dividends or make distributions in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain and reinvest future earnings, if any, to finance and
expand our operations.
Recent Sales of
Unregistered Securities
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we issued securities using the
exemptions available under the Securities Act of 1933 including unregistered
sales made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933: we issued
36,200,000 shares to various consultants and affiliates for strategic,
management and oil and gas industry related consulting (after the 1:10 stock
split the issued shares equates to 3,620,000 of outstanding shares at December
31, 2007). See the Management Discussion and Analysis for a further
breakdown of the share issuance.
Item 6. Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
This
report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used in this Form 10-KSB, the words
"anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions including the possibility that the
Company's proposed plan of operation will fail to generate projected revenues.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from
those anticipated, estimated or projected. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a
result of the risks set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions
used in making such forward looking statements.
General
On April
3, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a change of direction for the Company,
from the business of manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and
finishes, to the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral
lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and
maintaining the assets of such operations. The Board of Directors believes that
by changing the direction to the oil and gas markets we have improved our
prospects for success due to both the current and expected future positive
market conditions. During 2007 and again in 2008 new Directors with
extensive oil and gas experience were appointed and we believe that this
experience will give the Company a better opportunity for success.
Results
for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period January 27 to
December 31, 2005
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had revenue of $12,239, vs. revenue of
$0 during the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenue was also $0 for
the period January 27, to December 31, 2005.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss of
$13,940,460 vs. a net operating loss of $37,121,584 for the year ended December
31, 2006. The net loss was $807,600 for the period January 27, to
December 31, 2005. The decrease in the loss in 2007 is attributable
to the decrease in professional fees and expense related to prior consulting
agreements of $13,091,316 and a decrease in other general and administrative
expenses of $15,107,569.This was partially off-set by writing-off prepaid
consulting fees of $4,085,417 in December 2007. Total operating
expenses reduced significantly as the new officers and directors that were
appointed have agreed to $0 compensation unlike the management team in 2006 that
drove an increase in compensation accruals. Plus the new management
is relying on their own expertise in the oil business versus contracting
consultants as the management team did in 2006.
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net loss of $15,007,117 versus
$36,906,584 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
change in other income is $1,066,657 due to the amortization of the deemed
dividend during 2007.
Plan
of Operation
In
conjunction with our change of direction, in April 2006, we entered into
a consulting agreement with Summitt Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Summitt"), as well
as other third parties, to provide business management services, and advice
as it relates to the future of the company. This service shall
include the drafting and preparation of business plans, operating budgets,
cash flow projections and other business management services as we venture
into the oil and gas business. In September 2007 and February 2008
new officers and directors were appointed who have extensive experience in the
oil and gas industry and will rely on their own expertise to develop and grow
the Company.
In April
2006 we executed an assignment of an oil and gas lease under which
we acquired 100% of the leasehold rights to drill and otherwise
exploit 160 acres of certain underlying oil and gas reserves
located in the County of Custer, Oklahoma, which we acquired from Summitt
for 677,000 restricted shares of our common stock and
agreed to pay Summitt a royalty equal to 3% of the value of
all oil produced and removed under the lease and the
net proceeds received by us from the sale of all gas
and casinghead gasoline produced and
sold under the lease. The leasehold interest is not developed
and accordingly not currently producing oil or gas. Upon receiving the
necessary capitalization, we intend to explore the development of this
field. The shares were valued at $406,200. The Company
recorded the asset at the historical cost of $56,000 to the related party and
recorded $350,200 as a deemed dividend to the related party. As of
December 31, 2006 the Company impaired the balance of the lease of
$46,667.
In April
2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with BlueFin, Inc.
("BlueFin"). BlueFin was retained to provide business
development, investor relations services, and introductions to qualified
funding sources, introductions to oil and gas business prospects and
introductions to accredited investors. By leveraging BlueFin's
resources the Company anticipated that it would be able to find sources of
capital to fund its operations in the oil and gas business.
In April
2006, we also entered into an agreement with Monterosa Group
Limited ("Monterosa"). Monterosa was retained to provide
services including operation administration, transaction processing and
management, systems development, staff recruitment, acquisition transaction
support services, and other business management services as the Company
moves into the oil and gas business.
In April
2006, we also engaged Camden Holdings, Inc. ("Camden"), an
entity experienced in the energy sector that will assist the Company
in locating oil and gas opportunities. Camden’s services include
the drafting and preparation of business plans, operating budgets, cash
flow projections
and other business management services as we venture into the oil and gas
business. We have also been able to leverage our relationship with Camden
to obtain short-term financing as needed. Camden has also agreed to
advance sums to the Company to assist in funding its operations over the
short-term. In September 2007, the engagement of Camden ceased and as
of December 31, 2007, the balance of advances by Camden to the Company was
$164,742.
In April
2006, we also engaged Design, Inc. ("Design"), an entity experienced in the
energy sector that will assist the Company in financing the
transactions introduced by Camden and our other consultants.
In July,
2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Catalyst Consulting
Partners, LLC to provide the Company with business consulting services in
exchange for the issuance of 518,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. These shares were issued during the quarter ended September
30, 2006.
In
September, 2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Summitt
Ventures Inc. ("SVI") for six months which required the Company to issue
2,700,000 of its common stock to SVI for services to be provided to the Company
including business management services and related services. These
shares were issued in September, 2006.
In
September, 2006, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with Rhone
Alternative Marketing Partners ("RAMP) for marketing and public relations
services in exchange for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. These shares were issued during the quarter ended
September 30, 2006.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company compensated certain third
party individuals who provided services to the Company. In August and
September, 2006, 600,000 shares were issued for services. In
September, 2006, an additional 740,000 shares were issued to consultants for
services under the Company's 2006-1 Consultants and Employees Services
Plan. This Plan was adopted in September, 2006 and reserved 3,800,000
shares of the Company's common stock to consultants and employees, which shares
were registered in September, 2006. During the quarter ended December
31, 2006, 3,799,000 shares were issued under the Plan.
On
October 19, 2007, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of restricted stock
K&D Investments for oil properties in Throckmorton County, Texas
(Walker-Buckler Trust 380-381). The Company recorded the transaction
at fair market value of $5,000,000 and on December 31, 2007, recorded impairment
expense related to the property of $5,000,000 resulting a net capitalized amount
of $0.
On
October 29, 2007, the Company paid $30,000 to an individual for oil properties
in Throckmorton County, Texas (Putnam M Well). The Company recorded
the transaction at fair market value of $30,000 and on December 31, 2007,
recorded impairment expense related to the property of $30,000 resulting a net
capitalized amount of $0.
We
believe that by
changing our direction to the oil and gas
markets we have improved our prospects for success due to both
the current and
expected future positive market conditions which
we expect to exploit initially from the valuable contacts, industry
expertise and business opportunities we expect to derive from
our officers and directors who have extensive oil and gas experience and
contact.
We
anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund
operations over the next 12 months. To the extent that we are
required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover
costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or
private offerings of debt or equity securities.
We
currently have no full-time employees. We will primarily rely on our
officers and directors to develop and grow the Company.
Risks related to the
Company
Need for additional
financing.
We have a
line-of-credit for $100,000 with a related party, and at December 31, 2007, the
balance is $66,657. This line-of-credit will not be sufficient to
satisfy our obligations and continue operations through the end of 2008, and
therefore we have an immediate need for capital. Although our current
strategy requires significantly less capital versus the strategy from the prior
management team, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the
sufficient short-term capital needed to sustain operations. The full and timely
development and implementation of our business plan and growth strategy will
require additional resources. We may not be able to obtain the working capital
necessary to implement our growth strategy. Furthermore, our growth strategy may
not produce material revenue even if successfully funded. Management intends to
explore a number of options to secure alternative sources of capital, including
the issuance of secured debt, volumetric production payments, subordinated debt,
or additional equity, including preferred equity securities or other equity
securities. We might not succeed, however, in raising additional equity capital
or in negotiating and obtaining additional and acceptable financing when we need
it. Our ability to obtain additional capital will also depend on market
conditions, national and global economies and other factors beyond our control.
Even if we are able to obtain the short-term capital necessary to sustain our
operations, if adequate capital is not available or is not available on
acceptable terms at a time when we
needed it, our ability to close acquisitions, execute our growth plans, develop
or enhance our services or respond to competitive pressures will be
significantly impaired. There are no assurances that we will be able to
implement or capitalize on various financing alternatives or otherwise obtain
required working capital, the need for which is substantial given our operating
loss history.
We have a limited operating
history.
We are a development stage
company with a limited operating history, and we face all the risks common to
companies in their early stages of development, including undercapitalization
and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels and
uncertain revenue streams, an unproven business model, and difficulties in
managing growth. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new
business. Any forward-looking statements in this report do not reflect any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these types of uncertainty.
Since inception, we have incurred significant losses. No assurance can be given
that we will be successful.
We may incur unforeseen costs and we
may need to raise capital in addition to that required by our business
plan.
We are currently operating at a loss
and intend to increase our operating expenses significantly as we begin our
acquisitions and oil and gas production. Additionally, we may encounter
unforeseen costs that could also require us to seek additional capital. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital
on acceptable terms, if at all. Any additional financing may result in
significant dilution to our existing stockholders.
Maintaining any reserves and revenue we
may acquire in the future depends on successful development and
acquisitions.
In general, the volume of production
from oil and natural gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the
rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Except to the extent we
acquire properties containing proved reserves or conduct successful development
activities, or both, our proved reserves that we may acquire will decline. Our
future oil and natural gas production is, therefore, highly dependent upon our
level of success in finding or acquiring additional
reserves.
We are subject to substantial operating
risks
The oil and natural gas business
involves certain operating hazards such as well blowouts, mechanical failures,
explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires,
formations with abnormal pressures, hurricanes, pollution, releases of toxic gas
and other environmental hazards and risks. We could suffer substantial losses as
a result of any of these events. While we intend to carry general liability,
control of well, and operator's extra expense coverage typical in our industry,
we will not be fully insured against all risks incident to our business, such as
acts of God.
We may not always be the operator of
some of our wells. As a result, our operating risks for those wells and our
ability to influence the operations for these wells will be less subject to our
control. Operators of these wells may act in ways that are not in our best
interests.
Our operations have significant capital
requirements.
We expect to experience substantial
working capital needs as we begin our active development and acquisition
programs. Even if we are able to obtain the short-term capital necessary to
maintain our operations, additional financing will be required in the future to
fund our growth and operations. No assurances can be given as to the
availability or terms of any such additional financing that may be required or
that financing will continue to be available under new credit facilities. In the
event such capital resources are not available to us, our drilling and other
activities would be curtailed.
We may have difficulty managing future
growth and the related demands on our resources
and may have difficulty in achieving future growth.
We expect to experience rapid growth
through acquisitions and development activity for the foreseeable future. Any
future growth may place a significant strain on our financial, technical,
operational and administrative resources. Our ability to grow will depend upon a
number of factors, including our ability to identify and acquire new development
or acquisition prospects, our ability to develop existing properties, our
ability to continue to retain and attract skilled personnel, hydrocarbon prices
and access to capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
achieving growth or any other aspect of our business
strategy.
We face
strong competition from larger oil and natural gas
companies.
Our competitors include major
integrated oil and natural gas companies and numerous independent oil and
natural gas companies, individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of our
competitors are large, well-established companies with substantially larger
operating staffs and greater capital resources than us. We may not be able to
successfully conduct our operations, evaluate and select suitable properties and
consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment. Specifically,
these larger competitors may be able to pay more for development projects and
productive oil and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate,
bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our
financial or human resources permit. In addition, such companies may be able to
expend greater resources on the existing and changing technologies that we
believe are and will be increasingly important to attaining success in the
industry.
Our acquisition program may be
unsuccessful, particularly in light of our recent formation and limited history
of acquisitions.
Although our personnel have had
significant experience within the oil and gas industry, we may not be in as good
a position as our more larger and better funded competitors to execute a
successful acquisition program or close additional future transactions. The
successful acquisition of producing properties requires an assessment of
recoverable reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs,
potential environmental and other liabilities and other factors. Such
assessments, even when performed by experienced personnel, are necessarily
inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. Our review of subject
properties, which generally includes on-site inspections and the review of
reports filed with various regulatory entities, will not reveal all existing or
potential problems, deficiencies and capabilities. We may not always perform
inspections on every well, and may not be able to observe structural and
environmental problems even when we undertake an inspection. Even when problems
are identified, the seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective
contractual protection against all or part of such problems. There can be no
assurances that any acquisition of property interests by us will be successful
and, if unsuccessful, that such failure will not have an adverse effect on our
future results of operations and financial condition.
We cannot
market our production without the assistance of third
parties.
The marketability of our production
depends upon the proximity of our reserves to, and the capacity of, facilities
and third party services, including oil and natural gas gathering systems,
pipelines, trucking or terminal facilities, and processing facilities. The
unavailability or lack of capacity of such services and facilities could result
in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development
plans for properties. A shut-in or delay or discontinuance could adversely
affect our financial condition. In addition, federal and state regulation of oil
and natural gas production and transportation affect our ability to produce and
market our oil and natural gas on a profitable basis.
Risks Relating to
the Oil and Gas Industry
Oil and Gas Drilling, re-completions
and re-working are speculative activities and involve
numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs.
Our growth will be materially dependent
upon the success of our future drilling and development program. Drilling for
oil and gas and re-working existing wells involve numerous risks, including the
risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be
encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is substantial
and uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as
a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including unexpected
drilling conditions, pressure or irregularities in formations, equipment
failures or accidents, adverse weather conditions, compliance with governmental
requirements and shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs or
crews and the delivery of equipment. Although we believe that our focus on
re-developing existing oil and gas field and advanced drilling technology should
increase the probability of success of our wells and should reduce average
finding costs through elimination of prospects that might otherwise be drilled
using other traditional methods, drilling or reworking remains a speculative
activity. Even when fully utilized, lateral drilling does not predetermine if
hydrocarbons will in fact be present in such structures if they are
drilled. Our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if
unsuccessful, such failure will have an adverse effect on our future results of
operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our overall
drilling success rate or our drilling success rate for activity within a
particular geographic area will not decline. Although we may discuss drilling
prospects that we have identified or budgeted for, we may ultimately
not lease
or drill these prospects within the expected time frame, or at all. We may
identify and develop prospects through a number of methods, some of which do not
include horizontal drilling. The drilling and results for these prospects may be
particularly uncertain Our drilling schedule may vary from our capital budget.
The final determination with respect to the drilling of any scheduled or
budgeted wells will be dependent on a number of factors, including, but not
limited to: (i) the results of previous development efforts and the acquisition,
review and analysis of data; (ii) the availability of sufficient capital
resources to us and the other participants for the drilling of the
prospects; (iii) the approval of the
prospects by other participants after additional data has been compiled; (iv)
economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing
and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas and the availability of drilling
rigs and crews; (v) our financial resources and results; (vi) the availability
of leases and permits on reasonable terms for the prospects; and (vii) the
success of our drilling technology. There can be no assurance that these
projects can be successfully developed or that the wells discussed will, if
drilled, encounter reservoirs of commercially productive oil or natural gas.
There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves,
including many factors beyond our control.
Reliance on
technological development and possible technological
obsolescence.
Our business is dependent upon
utilization of changing technology. As a result, our ability to adapt to
evolving technologies, obtain new technology and maintain technological
advantages will be important to our future success. We believe that our ability
to utilize state of the art technologies will give us an advantage over many of
our competitors. This advantage, however, is based in part upon technologies
developed by others, and we may not be able to maintain this advantage. As new
technologies develop, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and
competitive pressures may force us to implement such new technologies at
substantial cost. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully
utilize, or expend the financial resources necessary to acquire, new technology,
or that others will not either achieve technological expertise comparable to or
exceeding that of our Company or that others will not implement new technologies
before us. One or more of the technologies we end up adopting or implementing
may, in the future, become obsolete. In such case, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If
we are unable to utilize the most advanced commercially available technology,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
and adversely affected.
Oil and natural gas prices are highly
volatile in general and low prices negatively affect our financial
results.
Our revenue, profitability, cash flow,
future growth and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well
as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent upon
prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Lower oil and natural gas prices also
may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically.
Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile, and such
markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for oil and
natural gas are subject to wide fluctuation in response to relatively minor
changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty
and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors
include the level of consumer product demand, weather conditions, domestic and
foreign governmental regulations, the price and availability of alternative
fuels, political conditions, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the
price of foreign imports and overall economic conditions It is impossible to
predict future oil and natural gas price movements with certainty. Declines in
oil and natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial
condition, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and
results of operations.
Government regulation and liability for
environmental matters may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
Oil and natural gas operations are
subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulations, which may
be changed from time to time. Matters subject to regulation include discharge
permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations,
the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. From
time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on
production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and natural gas wells below
actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and natural gas.
There are federal, state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to
protection of human health and the environment applicable to the development,
production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and natural
gas, by-products thereof and other substances and materials produced or used in
connection with oil and natural gas operations. In addition, we may
be liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property we
purchase or lease As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third
parties or governmental entities. We are also subject to changing and extensive
tax laws, the effects of which cannot be predicted. The implementation of new,
or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could have a material
adverse effect on us.
Risks Associated
with Our Stock
Our stock
price has been and may continue to be very volatile.
Our common stock is thinly traded and
the market price has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile.
During the 12 months prior to December 31, 2007, our stock price as traded on
the OTC Bulletin Board has ranged from $0.20 to $0.07. The variance
in our share price makes it extremely difficult to forecast with any certainty
the stock price at which you may be able to buy or sell shares of our common
stock. The market price for our common stock could be subject to wide
fluctuations due to factors beyond our control, such as: actual or anticipated
variations in our results of operations, naked short selling of our common stock
and stock price manipulation, changes or fluctuations in the
commodity prices of oil and natural gas, general conditions and trends in the
oil and gas industry, general economic, political and market
conditions.
Use of our common stock to pay for
third party services could dilute current investors.
In the past we have used our common
stock to pay for the services of third party consultants. Due to the
experience of our current investors we do not anticipate having to use third
party consultants to execute our growth strategy. However, unforeseen
circumstances may arise where third party services are required and common stock
may be used to pay for said services. As of February 28,
2008, we have issued 33,335,000 shares of our common stock
to said consultants. Further issuances in exchange for such services will dilute
current investors. Future sales of our common stock in the public market could
adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of common
stock in the public market that are not currently freely tradable, or even the
potential for these sales, could have an adverse effect on the market price for
the shares of our common stock. These shares include approximately 28.2 million
shares held by founders, investors and service providers, and 1,800,000 warrants
at February 28, 2007. Unregistered shares may not be sold except in compliance
with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, or some other exemption from registration.
Rule 144 does not prohibit the sale of these shares but does place conditions
and restrictions on their resale, which must be complied with before they can be
resold.

During
the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not grant any
warrants.
Future sales of our common stock in the
public market could limit our ability to raise capital.
Sales of substantial amounts of our
common stock pursuant to Rule 144, upon exercise or conversion of derivative
securities or otherwise, or even the potential of these sales, could also affect
our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity
securities.
The Company has never paid cash
dividends on its common stock and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable
future.
Present management and directors may
control the election of our directors and all other
matters submitted to the stockholders for approval.
Our executive officers and directors,
in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 0.0% of our outstanding common
stock. K&D Equity Investments is our single largest shareholder owning
37.67% of our common stock. Summitt Oil Inc, holds 31.43% of
our common stock and is our second largest shareholder. Accordingly,
this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company, impede a merger, consolidation,
takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discourage a
potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of the Company, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock.
"Penny stock" regulations may impose
certain restrictions on marketability of securities.
The SEC adopted regulations, which
generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price
of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock may be subject to rules that
impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors
(generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes
exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions
covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchase of these securities and have received the
purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction.
Additionally, for any transaction,
other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the
delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by
the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose
the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer
is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the
broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements
must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the
"penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our
common stock and may affect the ability to sell our common stock in the
secondary market.
The market for our Company's securities
is limited and may not provide adequate liquidity.
Our
common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), a
regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices,
and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. As a result, an
investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations
as to the price of, our securities than if the securities were traded on the
Nasdaq Stock market, or another national exchange. There are a limited number of
active market makers of our common stock. In order to trade shares of our common
stock you must use one of these market makers unless you trade your shares in a
private transaction. In the twelve months prior to December 31, 2007, the actual
trading volume ranged from a low of no shares of common stock to a high of
154,400 shares of common stock. On most days, this trading volume means there is
limited liquidity in our shares of common stock. Selling our shares is more
difficult because smaller quantities of shares are bought and sold and news
media coverage about us is limited. These factors result in a limited trading
market for our common stock and therefore holders of our Company's stock may be
unable to sell shares purchased should they desire to do
so.
Item 7. Financial
Statements.
The report of independent auditors and
financial statements are set forth in this report beginning on Page
F-1.
Item 8. Changes in
and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure.
There
were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure
during the relevant period.
Item 8A. Controls
and Procedures
During
the course of the audit for our year ended December 31, 2005 in May, 2006, our
auditor discovered numerous errors in our financial statements in our financial
statements in our quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2005 as
disclosed in our Form 8-K/A filed on June 14, 2006. As a result of these errors,
and others, we restated our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, and will restate the financial statements for the period
ended June 30, 2005, in our Form 8-K/A filed on January 24, 2006. Our conclusion
to restate our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and Form
8-K/A filed on January 24, 2006, resulted in the Company recognizing that its
controls and procedures were not effective as of the period ended December 31,
2005 and constituted material weaknesses which began after the close of the
Exchange Agreement on or about July 16, 2005. The material weaknesses were
primarily the result of our having no controller and no qualified personnel and
as a result, transactions were omitted, recorded incorrectly, or recorded
without support. In May, 2006, we remediated the material weakness in
internal control over financial reporting by having our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer review in detail all adjustments affecting the
issuances of our securities and we retained an outside consultant to make
accounting entries.
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure,
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of
how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our President, also serving as our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, our President has concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the
identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting which is identified below, which we view as an integral part of our
disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting
We have
not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control
system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because
of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded
that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
The
material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial
reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed
by external accountants who may not always get full information and therefore
something is not recorded appropriately. Our President does not possess
accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee.
This weakness is due to the company’s lack of working capital to hire additional
staff. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage another
accountant to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will
allow.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.

Employment
Agreements
The
following transaction took place between the Company and Ross-Lyndon James, the Company's then Chief
Executive Officer and Director: On April 3, 2006, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Ross Lyndon James who has been serving as the Company's
President without compensation and written agreement since being appointed to
such office by the Board of Directors of the Company in June 2005. Mr. Lyndon
James had also served without compensation as a director of the Company. Under the
terms of the agreement, Mr. Lyndon James received compensation equal to
twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) per month payable monthly in
advance. He was also granted one
million eight hundred thousand (1,800,000) restricted shares
of common stock upon execution of the employment agreement as a
signing bonus, as well as
a termination grant of two
million (2,000,000) shares
of restricted common stock. All
shares have piggy-back registration rights.
Additionally, the Company agreed to grant him a warrant to acquire three hundred
thousand (300,000) restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The exercise
price is to be based on the bid price of the stock on the date of the
agreement. The warrants expire five years after the date of grant. Additionally,
Mr. Lyndon James will be entitled to participate in any stock option program
offered by the Company to its employees. In July 24, 2006, Mr. Lyndon James
resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director. On the
resignation of the Director, the Company forfeited the warrants. The Company
recorded shares to be issued of $2,500,000 for the termination
shares.
On April
3, 2006, the Company entered into an
employment agreement with Brian Harcourt who has been
serving as an officer of the Company without compensation and written agreement since being appointed to
such office by the Board of Directors of
the Company in June 2005. Mr. Harcourt has also served without compensation as a director
of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Harcourt will receive
compensation equal to twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) per month
payable monthly in advance. He was also granted one million eight hundred thousand (1,800,000) restricted shares
of common stock upon execution of the employment agreement as

a termination grant
of two million (2,000,000) restricted shares of

any stock option program offered by the Company to its
employees. In July 24, 2006, Mr. Harcourt resigned as the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer and Director. On the resignation of the Director, the
Company forfeited the warrants. The Company recorded shares to be issued of
$2,500,000 for the termination shares.
Currently,
the Company has no employment agreements outstanding.
Stock Option
Plan
The Company adopted an Incentive Stock
Option Plan for non-employee directors on October 1, 1998. We have not awarded
any options under this Plan. No director receives or accrues any compensation
for his services as a director, including committee participation and/or special
assignments.
On April 3, 2006, our Board of
Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan
effective April 3, 2006 (the "2006 Stock Option Plan").
The 2006 Stock Option Plan is
administered by the duly appointed compensation committee. Our compensation
committed consists of Rosamaria DeSimone, a consultant to the Company, and Brian
Harcourt. The 2006 Stock Option Plan provides authorization to grant stock
options of up to 2,500,000 shares. At the time a stock option is granted under
the Stock Option Plan, the compensation committee shall fix and determine the
exercise price at which shares of common stock of the Company may be acquired
and vesting period thereof.
In the event an optionee ceases to be
employed by or to provide services to the Company for reasons other than cause,
retirement, disability or death, any stock option that is vested and held by
such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) calendar
days after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such 90-day
period any unexercised stock option shall expire. In the event an optionee
ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company for reasons of
retirement, disability or death, any stock option that is vested and held by
such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to one-year after the
effective date that his position ceases, and after such one-year period any
unexercised stock option shall expire.
No stock options granted under the 2006
Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the optionee, and each stock option
will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option
period of ten (10) years or limitations described above. Any
stock option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be
exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer period
as the compensation committee may determine.
Upon exercise of the options, the
optionee will deliver consideration in the amount of the exercise price
multiplied by the number of shares to be issued as a result of the exercise;
provided, however, the compensation committee reserves, at any and all times,
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve
or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of stock options by
means of a cashless exercise
Compensation of
Directors
Directors are entitled to reimbursement
for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with attendance at meeting of the Board of Directors.
We have
no written employment agreements with our directors.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Brighton
Oil & Gas, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc. as of
December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
and for the period from January 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2007 .
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 required
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from January 25, 2005 (inception)
to December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company had accumulated deficit of $53,071,501 as of December
31, 2007 and net losses of $15,007,117
for the year ended December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning
these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
As stated
in Note 9, the Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006 were restated.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31,
2007
1. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
A. Organization and General Description
of Business
Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc. (“We” or
“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, on July
6, 2005. On July 19, 2005, the Company, completed the acquisition of Special
Stone Surfaces, Es3, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("Es3") pursuant to the terms of
an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Crown
Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation and at such time, the largest stockholder
of the Company ("Crown Partners"), Es3, and certain stockholders of Es3 (the
"Es3 Stockholders"). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Es3 in exchange for the
issuance of 19,182,759 shares of the Company's common stock to the Es3
Stockholders, Crown Partners and certain consultants The transactions effected
by the Exchange Agreement have been accounted for as a reverse merger. This
reverse merger transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Es3,
as Es3 is the accounting acquirer, effective July 19, 2005. As a result, the
historical equity of the Company has been restated on a basis consistent with
the recapitalization. In addition, the Company changed its accounting year-end
from September 30 to December 31, which is Es3's accounting
year-end.
Accordingly
the financial statements contained in report include the operations of the
Company in its new line of business. As a result of the transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Company had one active operating
subsidiary--Es3. Es3 was formed in January 2005 and began operations in March
2005 in the business of manufacturing and distributing a range of decorative
stone veneers and finishes based on proprietary Liquid Stone Coatings(TM) and
Authentic Stone Veneers(TM). Effective October 1, 2005, the
Company sold all of its shares in Es3.
On April 3, 2006 the Board of Directors
approved a change of direction for the Company, from the business of
Manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and finishes, to the
business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral lease purchasing and
all activities associated with acquiring, operating and maintaining the assets
of such operations.
B. Basis of Presentation and
Organization
The consolidated financial statements
of the Company for the periods January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and from
January 27, 2005 (Inception) through December 31, 2007 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Es3, through October 1, 2005 (the effective date of disposition).
All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
C. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects
of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are
determined.

D. Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash
in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or
less.
E.
Long-Lived Assets & Impairment on oil lease investments
Effective
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS
144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,”
and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting
the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a
loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be
disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values
are reduced for the cost of disposal.
Based on
its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the investment
in Custer oil & well lease of $56,000 was impaired and recorded an
impairment loss of $46,667.
During
the year ended Decemer 31, 2007, the Company had acquired two oil & well gas
leases in two separate transactions. One lease was acquired for cash
consideration of $30,000 and the other lease was acquired in exchange of
50,000,000 (pre reverse split) shares. The lease was valued at the fair market
value of the shares which was $5,000,000.
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company estimated the future cash flows expected to
result from the use and eventual disposition of the two oil & well gas
leases. Based on its review, the Company determined that the carrying value of
the assets is not recoverable and hence the leases were determined to be
impaired as of December 31, 2007. The Company recorded an impairment loss of
$5,030,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007..
F. Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Statement
of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values
of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of
financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial
instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
G. Technology License and
Royalties
The
Company's former principal business activity focused on the commercialization of
distributing decorative coatings that can be used to resemble stone, which the
Company licensed from related parties. Minimum annual royalties for these
arrangements were accrued in 2005 on the Company's balance sheet till disposal
of the subsidiary.
The Company’s current principal
activity focuses on oil and gas exploration. During 2007 the Company
acquired the rights to drill and otherwise exploit certain underlying reserves
and agreed to pay a royalty ranging from 17.7% to 21.8% on the value of the oil
removed or produced and on the net proceeds from all gas sold The royalty is
being deducted by the operator and therefore there are no applicable royalty
accruals on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2007. During
2006 the Company acquired the rights to drill and otherwise exploit certain
underlying reserves and agreed to pay a 3% royalty on the value of the oil
removed or produced and on the net proceeds from all gas sold. To
date there are no applicable accruals on the Company’s balance sheet as there
has been no production or proceeds related to the acquired
rights.
H. Stock-Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which requires the measurement of all
employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in
the consolidated statements of operations. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation
of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The
Company has adopted SFAS 123R and related FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) as of
January 01, 2006 and will recognize stock-based compensation expense using the
modified prospective method.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31,
2007
I. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income
taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the
establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future
deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.
Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences
between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes
during the year.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences
and operating loss, and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is
established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is "more likely than not"
that the related tax benefits will not be realized.
J. Basic and Diluted Net Earnings
(loss) per Share
The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 provides
for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes
no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could
share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the periods January 1, 2007
to December 31, 2007 and from inception through December 31, 2007, basic and
diluted loss per share are the same since the calculation of diluted per share
amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.
K.
Development Stage Enterprise
The
Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting
Standards Board No.7. The Company‘s planned principal operations have not
commenced, and, accordingly, insignificant revenue has been derived during this
period.
L. Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this
Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or
liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in
that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a
not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by
requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of
its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An
employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to
provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is
required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity
securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to
financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but
before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this
Statement in preparing those financial statements:
a.
A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b.
The date that adoption is required
c.
The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this
Statement, if earlier.
The
requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the
employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to
specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year
companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial
statements.

The new
Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise
required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value
option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent
reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison
between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets
and liabilities.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains
the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of
accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how
the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No.
141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any,
that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the
Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after
September 30, 2009.

Reclassifications
For
comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current
year.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The
Company reported an accumulated deficit of $53,071,501 and had a stockholder’s
deficit of $7,689,956 at December 31, 2007.
In view
of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of
capital. At December 31, 2007, the Company had limited operations. In
view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of
capital. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in
implementing its plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We anticipate that we will have to
raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months. To
the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to
cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or private
offerings of debt or equity securities. There are
no commitments or arrangements for other offerings in place, no guaranties that any such financings would be
forthcoming, or as to the terms of any such financings.
Any future financing
may involve substantial dilution to existing investors. We had been relying on our common stock to pay
third parties for services which has resulted substantial dilution to
existing investors.
3. Income Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment. Current year and accumulated deferred tax
benefit at the effective Federal income tax rate of 34% is $17,650,659,and
$12,548,239 respectively and a valuation allowance has been set up for the full
amount because of the unlikelihood that the accumulated deferred tax benefit
will be realized in the future.
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had available federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $53,071,501 that are
available to offset future federal and state taxable income and that expire in
various periods through 2027 for federal tax purposes and 2014 for state tax
purposes. No benefit has been recorded for the loss carryforwards,
and utilization in future years may be limited under Sections 382 and 383
of the Internal Revenue Code if significant ownership changes have occurred or
from future tax legislation changes
The following table sets forth the
significant components of the net deferred tax assets for operation in the US as

shares pursuant to a consulting agreement was recorded twice and expensed due to
wrong certification by the stock transfer agent. The company has restated its
financial statements as of December 31, 2006 for that correction.
The
Company has restated its financial statements for these adjustments as of
December 31, 2006.
