ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background
Through our wholly owned subsidiary Smart-Tek Communications Inc. we operate in the business of design, sale, installation and service of security technology with electronic hardware and software products. Our projects range from residential and commercial developments to system upgrades and monitoring contracts. Customers include major developers, general and electrical contractors, hospitals, Crown Corporations, law enforcement agencies and retail facilities. Currently, 100% of the Companys operations are in Canada. We have a sales and technical installation team with over 50 years of experience specializing in the design, sales, installation and service of CCTV, access control, intercom, security, structured cabling and wireless communication systems. While the operations of
-1-
our wholly-owned subsidiary are profitable, we still do not operate profitably as a consolidated entity. Managements plans to improve our financial condition are as follows:
- Continued growth of Smart-tek Communications Inc. business activities in the security technology industry in the Greater Vancouver Area;
- We will continue to look for opportunities to grow organically where feasible as well as evaluate potential acquisition opportunities that may present themselves in the next 12 months.
- On June 17, 2009, we determined to add a new line of business providing integrated and cost-effective management solutions in the area of human resources for public and private companies. In connection with the expansion of business operations, we incorporated a subsidiary, Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. (Smart-Tek Automated), a private Nevada corporation through which we operate our new line of business. We intend to continue to expand our new business in the next twelve months.
There can be no assurance that our planned activities will be successful or that we will ultimately attain profitability. Our long term viability depends on our ability to grow our subsidiarys business to fund the continuation of our consolidated business operations. We intend to use our common stock as payment for services of various consultants in order to help advance our business plan.
Recent Corporate Developments
Since the commencement of our fourth quarter ended June 30, 2009, we experienced the following significant corporate developments:
1. |
On May 29, 2009, Brian Bonar was appointed to our board of directors. Mr. Bonar has over 18 years of experience with IBM in Europe, Asia and the USA and an additional 20 years in high growth companies both private and public in various locations in the USA and the United Kingdom.

2. |
On June 17, 2009, the board of Smart-Tek determined to add a new line of business providing integrated and cost-effective management solutions in the area of human resources for public and private companies. In connection with the expansion of business operations, Smart-Tek incorporated a subsidiary, Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc., a private Nevada corporation, and entered into a marketing partner agreement dated June 17, 2009 with Smart-Tek Automated and Brian Bonar, a director of Smart-Tek. Pursuant to the terms of the marketing agreement, Brian Bonar agreed to provide certain services to Smart-Tek Automated to promote and market the new business of Smart-Tek to prospective clients, in consideration of which Smart-Tek agreed to pay Mr. Bonar a commission consisting of the following: (i) for every US$1,000,000 in annualized gross sales of Smart-Tek up to the first US$25,000,000 in annualized sales introduced by Mr. Bonar, Mr. Bonar will receive 1,800,000 shares of common stock of Smart-Tek up to a maximum of 45,000,000 shares of Smart-Teks common stock; and (ii) after an aggregated US$25,000,000 in annualized gross sales by Smart-Tek resulting from sales introduced by Mr. Bonar, Mr. Bonar will receive one percent of annualized gross revenues of Smart-Tek for the amounts in excess of US$5,000,000 of annualized gross sales in any given fiscal year payable in cash. The agreement is |
-2-
for an indefinite term and may be terminated by either party without cause on 30 days written notice. | ||
3. |
On July 10, 2009 Smart-Tek entered into a settlement agreement with Richardson Patel pursuant to which it agreed to pay Richardson Patel $200,000 in full and final settlement of all claims that the firm had or may have had against Smart-Tek with respect to certain outstanding accounts owed by Smart-Tek to the firm. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Smart-Tek has the right to reduce the settlement amount to $150,000 if it pays such amount to Richardson Patel on or before November 1, 2009. | |
4. |
On August 1, 2009 Smart-Tek Automated entered into a strategic marketing partner agreement with a private company, pursuant to which we agreed to provide the company with payroll processing services, and certain marketing and business promotion services. | |
5. |
On September 14, 2009, Perry Law resigned as President of Smart-Tek and appointed Brian Bonar as President to fill the vacancy. | |
6. |
On September 14, 2009 Smart-Tek issued 45,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Brian Bonar, a director of the Company. Mr. Bonar was issued the shares based on Mr. Bonar achieving certain milestone targets for annualized sales as set out in the Marketing Partner Agreement dated June 17, 2009 between the Company and Mr. Bonar. | |
7. |
On September 29, 2009 Smart-Tek appointed Owen Naccarato to its board of directors. Mr. Naccarato has for the last twelve years been a practicing attorney specializing in corporate and securities law. Prior to practicing law, Mr. Naccarato held various high level financial and operating positions with fortune 500 firms. Mr. Naccarato is a member of the California State Bar Association, the Orange County and the Los Angeles County Bar Associations and their respective corporate law sections. Mr. Naccarato has a J.D. from Western State University, an MBA from DePaul University and an undergraduate degree in accounting from Northern Illinois University. | |
8. |
On September 30, 2009 Smart-Tek entered into debt settlement agreements with seven subscribers pursuant to which it agreed to settle $310,265 of debt in consideration of the issuance of 23,866,535 shares of its common stock. Each of the subscribers represented to Smart-Tek that they were an accredited investor as such term is defined in Canadian National Instrument 45- 106 and not a US person as such term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. |
Corporate History
Smart-Tek was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 1995 under the name Royce Biomedical Inc.. In July, 2005, we changed our name from Royce Biomedical Inc. to Smart-Tek Solutions Inc. The address of our principal executive office is 3702 South Virginia Street, Suite G12-401, Reno, NV 89502. On March 31, 2009 we effected a 250 to 1 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. Effective March 31, 2009, our stock symbol changed to STTN on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authoritys Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
Products and Services
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Smart-tek Communication Inc. (SCI), we specialize in the design, sale, installation and service of the latest and most sophisticated security technology available. SCI is a market leader in the provision and installation of security technology in the Greater Vancouver Area. Valued customers for SCIs products and services include major land developers, general and electrical contractors, hospitals, Crown Corporations, law enforcement agencies and retail facilities.
Our integrated systems project is typically done in the following stages:
-3-
1. |
Initial consultation to gain an understanding of the project needs and the general scope of work; |
2. |
The design of the integrated system is the second phase of our process. During this stage, the appropriate hardware and software is selected; |
3. |
Once the equipment has been selected and the contractors are ready to accommodate our installations experts, our highly qualified team installs the security systems; |
4. |
Once the integrated system is installed, our team of experts trains our customers on the systems and how to use it effectively; and |
5. |
Before we walk away from a job site, a vigorous quality assurance process is undertaken to make sure the systems are functioning as designed. |
We provide a wide variety of systems: access control, alarm systems, closed circuit TV systems (CCTV), intercom and data communication systems. Our sales and installation team have over 50 years of experience in dealing with security system design and installation.
Smart-Tek Automated Systems Inc.
In connection with the expansion of business operations, we incorporated a subsidiary, Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. through which we operate our new line of business. Through Smart-Tek Automated we provide staffing and business processing services to small and medium sized businesses principally located in major business centers in the Unites States. We also provide a variety of financial services including: benefits and payroll administration, health and workers' compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, and full time and temporary staffing services. The services feature advising in coaching in recruitment, training and discipline and payment of employee wages, payroll taxes, state and federal unemployment insurance, claims, and workers compensation premiums. As part of our staffing services, Smart-Tek Automated can also provide recruitment, reference checks, initial interviews, pre-employment and random drug testing, and criminal background investigations
Our services allow our customers to outsource many human resource tasks, including payroll processing, workers' compensation insurance, health insurance, employee benefits, 401k investment services, personal financial management, and income tax consultation. These services also relieve existing and potential customers of the burdens associated with personnel management and control.
Marketing Strategy
The Company relies on current relationships as their primary means of marketing their security technology products and services in the Greater Vancouver Area. Since 1997, the Company has been successful in developing its security business in this market and nurturing its relationships with Real Estate Developers and contractors. We hope to leverage our relationships as well as our reputation to be able to provide some of the security solutions that are required to make the project a safe one for all.
Market
The commercial and residential industry in the Greater Vancouver Area has enjoyed tremendous growth over the past decade. Along with this construction growth, is the need for sophisticated security systems to keep occupants safe. With the tremendous security requirements as a host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the growth of the local security industry is expected to remain strong as the city prepares to be host to delegates, athletes volunteers and visitors from around the world.
We expect to be able to leverage our reputations and relationships to enable us to continue to grow our security business. We currently supply a substantial portion of the security technology needs of new residential and commercial real estate developments in the Greater Vancouver Area and anticipate this trend to continue.

Backlog
The following schedule shows a reconciliation of backlog representing the amount of revenue the Company expects to realize from work to be performed on uncompleted contracts in progress at June 30, 2009 and from contractual agreements on which work has not yet begun.
Balance at June 30, 2008 | $7,683,937 |
New Contracts | $2,348,520 |
Less: Contract revenue earned from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 | $4,060,213 |
Balance at June 30, 2009 | $5,972,244 |
We face significant competition from four or five competitors in our target market in the security and surveillance technology industry. In general, we believe that our current primary competitive advantages include product and service quality at competitive pricing and our long-standing relationships with our customers as evidenced by its stellar customer retention.
Personnel
We currently have over 30 employees to carry out our security technology business. We presently have two employees for our staffing and business processing services business through Smart-Tek Automated.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks and Uncertainties
We have a general history of losses and may not operate profitability in the future.
We have incurred losses for the last four fiscal years. Our net losses and negative cash flow may continue for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit was $802,101. We believe that our planned growth and profitability will depend in large part on our ability to market our businesses and gain clients and to expand our relationships with existing clients. Accordingly, we intend to invest heavily in marketing, strategic partnerships and development of our client base. If we are not successful in expanding our client base, it will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to continue to operate our business. Furthermore, we intend to continue to expand our payroll and human resources consulting business. We believe that through the continual expansion of our new business we will be able to successfully obtain customers for our payroll systems. However, there is no guarantee that our new business will be successful.
We may make acquisitions, which if proven unsuccessful, could negatively affect our future profitability and growth.
We believe the security landscape and the animal agricultural tracking and monitoring market has created opportunities for us to invest in, or acquire boutique businesses in this industry. We may not be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses that we may invest in or acquire without substantial costs, delays or other problems. In addition, acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including:
-
Diversion of managements attention;
-
Failure to retain key acquired personnel; and
-
Risks associated with unanticipated events, circumstances or legal liabilities.
In addition, if the acquired businesses have operating losses or negative operating cash flow, our ability to achieve positive cash flow and profitability, as well as our liquidity, could be adversely affected. Some or all of these risks could adversely affect our operations and financial performance. For example, client satisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could adversely affect our reputation and financial results. Further, any businesses acquired in the future may not achieve anticipated revenues and earnings and therefore negatively impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
-5-
If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital in the future, we may be unable to continue to operate.
The Company does not have any significant available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to historical operating losses and other issues as described in the Companys going concern footnote included in its audited condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company's operations have not been a source of liquidity and the Company had satisfied its cash requirements through shareholder loans and deferral of salary payments to its officers. In order to obtain necessary capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. Any equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, will increase expenses and may involve restrictive covenants. We may be required to raise additional capital, at times and amounts which are uncertain, especially under the current capital market conditions. Under these circumstances, if we are unable to obtain capital or are required to raise it on undesirable terms, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
-
Curtail our operations significantly;
-
Sell significant assets;
-
Seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish rights to products, technologies or market; or
-
Explore other strategic alternatives, including a merger or sale.
Our operating results are subject to fluctuations caused by many factors that could cause us to fail to achieve our revenue or profitably expectations, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
Our operating results can vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may affect our operating results include:
- Market acceptance of and changes in demand for our products and services;
- Gain or loss of clients or strategic relationships;
- Announcement or introduction of new services and products by us or by our customers;
- Our ability to build brand recognition;
- Timing of customer sales;
- Price competition;
- Our ability to upgrade and develop systems and infrastructure to accommodate growth;
- Our ability to attract and integrate new personnel in a timely and effective manner;
- General economic conditions, including economic conditions specific to the construction security services industries; and
- Real estate development market in the Greater Vancouver Area
Most of our operating expenses are relatively fixed in the short-term. We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfalls, which could harm our operating results. Because we only compete in the Greater Vancouver Area, we do not have the ability to predict future backlog with any certainty. Because of the above factors, you should not rely on period to period comparisons of results of operation as an indication of future performances.
Because our security and surveillance technology business only operates in the Greater Vancouver Area, those customers who have historically accounted for and may in future periods account for substantial portions of our revenue, our revenue could decline because of delays of customer orders or the failure to retain customers.
We have a limited geographic area where our customers account for a significant portion of our revenue. Our revenue could decline because of a delay in signing agreements with a single customer or the failure to retain an
-6-
existing customer. We may not obtain additional customers. The failure to obtain additional customers and the failure to retain existing customers will harm our operating results. If general economic and business conditions do not continue to expand, we may experience decreased revenue or lower growth rates.
We may face intense competition that could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and profitability.
The demand for our services is expected to reflect dynamic growth over the next several years. We expect the demand will result in intense competition to provide these services. If we are not able to successfully execute our strategy, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
We may have difficulty managing growth.
Our development has required and is expected to continue to require, the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources, which to date has had limited working capital. Managing our growth will depend upon our ability to improve and expand our operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage executive staff and employees. We may not be able to efficiently scale our operations, and this failure to effectively manage growth may have a materially adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
We may not be able to attract, retain or integrate key personnel which may prevent us from successfully operating our business.
We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract other qualified personnel in the future. Our success will depend upon the continued service of key management personnel. The loss of services of any of the key members of our management team or our failure to attract and retain other key personnel could disrupt operations and have a negative effect on employee productivity and morale and harm our financial results. We operate in a market that is intensely and increasingly competitive, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenue could decline and we may be unable to gain market share.
We may lose certain tax attributes as a result of our acquisition program.
At June 30, 2009, we had available federal net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards of approximately $6,992,146. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the use of prior losses, including NOLs is limited if a corporation undergoes an ownership change. Future issuances of equity interests by us for acquisitions or the exercise of outstanding options to purchase our capital stock may result in an ownership change that is large enough for this limitation to apply. If the limitation applies, the Company may be unable to use a material portion of its available NOL carry-forwards to reduce future taxable income.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and the FINRAs sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In
-7-
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The National Association of Securities Dealers requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Executive Offices
We do not maintain an executive office but rather utilize the facilities, when required, of our operating subsidiary located at #10-11720 Voyageur Way, Richmond, BC, Canada, V6X 3G9. The office leased by our subsidiary is approximately 2,000 square feet and is on a two year term with a payment of approximately $1,800 per month. We utilize a mail service for our corporate correspondence at 3702 South Virginia Street, Unit G12-401, Reno, Nevada, 89502.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On July 10, 2009 Smart-Tek entered into a settlement agreement with Richardson Patel pursuant to which it agreed to pay Richardson Patel $200,000 in full and final settlement of all claims that the firm had or may have had against Smart-Tek with respect to certain outstanding accounts owed by Smart-Tek to the firm. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Smart-Tek has the right to reduce the settlement amount to $150,000 if it pays such amount to Richardson Patel on or before November 1, 2009. In connection with our entry into the settlement agreement with Richardson Patel, we entered into a stock pledge agreement among Richardson Patel, Perry Law, and four of our stockholders pursuant to which the stockholders pledged an aggregate of 29,152,127 shares of our common stock as security for repayment of the amounts owed to Richardson Patel.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

Revenue
As at June 30, 2009, we generated $3,274,139 in revenue. The decrease in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009 is primarily attributable to a decrease in our subsidiaries security and technology business. For the year ended June 30, 2009, two significant customers accounted for 26% of revenue and the customers individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue, also 100% of the Companys sales and accounts receivable arose from sales to Canadian customers during the year. For the year ended June 30, 2009, two significant suppliers accounted for 29% of purchases.
Expenses
Our expenses for the years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 are outlined in the table below:

General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in our general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2009 from the comparative period in 2008 was primarily due to: (i) decreased software development expenses and associated consulting costs relating to the development of RFID software; (ii) decreased professional fees associated with preparing and filing our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and litigation costs; and (iii) decreased consulting expenses associated with the development of our business.
Line of Credit
At June 30, 2009, bank overdrafts covered by a revolving line of credit were $Nil. The revolving line of credit agreement is between the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, and HSBC Bank of Canada. The revolving line of credit facility bears interest at the rate of prime plus 4.50% per annum, allows authorized bank overdrafts of up to $107,475 (CDN$125,000) and is secured by a shareholder guarantee and $45,350 (CDN$52,475) in the form of a term deposit.

We had cash on hand of $73,272 and a working capital deficit of $1,151,444 as of June 30, 2009 compared to cash on hand of $51,245 and working capital deficit of $1,246,306 for the year ended June 30, 2008. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $300,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months.
Cash Used In Operating Activities
We used cash in operating activities in the amount of $3,092 during the year ended June 30, 2009. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities.
Cash From Investing Activities
We used cash in investing activities in the amount of $14,633 during the year ended June 30, 2009. Cash used in investing activities was funded by cash from financing activities.
Cash from Financing Activities
We generated cash of $14,094 from financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2009.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net income of $20,891 and cash flow from operations of ($3,092) during the year ended June 30, 2009, and had a working capital deficiency of $1,151,444 and a shareholders deficiency of $685,011. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions are presently being taken to revise the Companys operating results. Management believes that the Company will have adequate cash to fund anticipated needs through June 30, 2010 and beyond primarily as a result of our contract backlog. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
Future Financings
The Company does not have any significant available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to historical operating losses and other issues as described in the Companys going concern footnote included in its audited condensed consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended June 30, 2009, the Companys operations have not been a source of liquidity and the Company had satisfied its cash requirements through
-12-
shareholder loans and deferral of salary payments to its officers. In order to obtain necessary capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that it can be secured at rates acceptable to the Company. In addition, should the Company be required to either issue stock for services or to secure equity funding, due to the lack of liquidity in the market for the Companys stock such financing would result in significant dilution to its existing shareholders.
The Companys short term plan is to continue to ask its officers to defer payment of salaries, utilize its common stock where possible to pay for services and to seek further shareholder loans. In the longer term, the Company is actively seeking additional merger, acquisition or venture relationships with operating enterprises in order to generate long-term growth opportunities for the Company, permit the Company to meet its financial obligations and to provide increased value to the Companys shareholders. We have obtained our required cash resources principally through loans from shareholders and our sole executive officer. While the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary are profitable, we still do not operate profitably as a consolidated entity.
Managements plans to improve our financial condition are as follows:
- Continued growth of Smart-tek Communications business activities in the security technology industry in the Greater Vancouver Area;
- We believe the beta test for the software and hardware will be successful on a start-up cattle farm in New Mexico; and
- We will continue to look for opportunities to grow organically where feasible as well as evaluate potential acquisition opportunities that may present themselves in the next 12 months.
There can be no assurance that our planned activities will be successful or that we will ultimately attain profitability. Our long term viability depends on our ability to grow the SCI business to fund the continuation of our consolidated business operations. We intend to use our common stock as payment for services of various consultants in order to help advance our business plan.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for its construction projects using the percentage of completion method, measured using the cost-to-cost method. This method of accounting requires a calculation of job profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each contract abased upon estimates of future outcomes, which include:
- Estimates of total cost to complete the contract;
-13-
- Estimates of contract schedule and completion date;
- Estimates of the percentage the contract is complete; and
- Amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change orders included in revenue.
At the outset of each contract, a detailed analysis of estimated cost to complete the contract is prepared. Periodically, evaluation of the estimated cost, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level will be performed. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit and loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of contract revenues, change orders and claims, less cost incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the total estimated contract profit times the current percentage of completion for the contract.
When calculating the amount of total profit or loss on a long-term contract, unapproved claims are recorded as revenue when collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapproved claims under the AICPA Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1) Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. The Company is actively engaged in claims negotiations with customers and the success of the claims negotiations have a direct impact on the profit or loss recorded for any long-term contract. On a quarterly basis, significant contracts are reviewed. However, there are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to, weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future earnings. The Company also provides various other services to customers not covered under construction contracts such as equipment repairs. The revenue from the provision of these types of services is recorded once the specific job is complete.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the assets estimated fair values with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
Stock-based Compensation
Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 (as modified by SFAS No.48), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Under APB No.25 compensation expense was recorded based on difference, if any, between the fair value of the Companys stock and the exercise price on the measurement date. The Company accounted for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No.123, which required entities to recognize as expense over the service period the fair value of all stock based awards on the date of grant and EITF No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Investments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which addressed the measurement date and recognition approach for such transactions.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS No.123R) a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, SFAS No.123R superseded APB Opinion No.25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amended SFAS 95 Statement of Cash Flows SFAS No 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair-value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
Under this method, the Company began recognizing compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123
-14-
are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. In addition, the Company now recognizes the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to adoption based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding options and warrants. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005.
The Company had two partially vested stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 pursuant to employment agreements entered into between the Company and its president and vice-president. Under these agreements, the Company issued options to purchase up to 650,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share that vest in equal quarterly installments over a three (3) year period. The Company calculated the fair value of the options to be 195,000 using our option pricing model, of which $65,000 was recognized as expense during the year ended June 30, 2008. In addition, commencing January 1, 2006, the Company is required to recognize the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding stock options and warrants. At June 30, 2008, the value of the unvested options was $32,500 which will be amortized in future periods as the options vest.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: | The Board of Directors and Shareholders |
Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. (formerly Royce Biomedical Inc.) |
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in stockholders deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but do not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and cash flows for years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses until the latest fiscal year. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company generated a net income of $20,891 and a negative cash flow from operations of $3,092 during the year ended June 30, 2009, and a working capital deficiency of $1,151,444 and a stockholders deficiency of $685,011 at June 30, 2009. This raises substantive doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of operations, basis of financial statement presentation
In August 2005, the Company changed its name from Royce Biomedical Inc. to Smart-tek Solutions Inc. (STS or the Company) to better reflect its new business activities. STS was incorporated in Nevada on March 22, 1995.
Between August 1995 and June 1998, the Company manufactured and sold diagnostic test kits used to detect pregnancy, thyroid disorders and other medical conditions. The Company assembled its diagnostic testing kits at its laboratory in Irvine, California. The Company closed this facility in April 1998. In order to penetrate the Chinese Immunodiagnostic market quickly, the Company signed an agreement in April 1999 with Xili Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. (Xili) of the Peoples Republic of China, to market and distribute H. Pylori Diagnostic test kits supplied by the Company. In addition to supplying H. Pylori diagnostic test kits supplied by the Company. In addition to supplying H. Pylori test kits to Xili, the Company had provided clinical data and training to Xili personnel.
Xili Pharmaceutical Group, Inc. through its subsidiary, Xili USA, Inc. owned approximately 44% of the outstanding common shares of the Company through December 5, 2004 and is controlled by Dr. Yan Xiao Wen, who is also the former Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors. At December 31, 2007, Xili USA, Inc., owns approximately 2.1% of the outstanding common shares of the Company.
In March 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Smart-tek Communications, Inc. (SCI) a British Columbia based security design and installation contractor. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement executed in April 2005. SCI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has ceased all ongoing business relationships with Xili and will direct its efforts to effectively operate and expand in the security sector.
Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company issued 1,000 shares of its common stock and 1 share of Class A preferred stock in return for all outstanding shares of SCI. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase (see Note 2).
Smart-tek Communications Inc. (SCI) was incorporated on October 29, 1996 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company specializes in the design, sale, installation and service of security technology with electronic hardware and software products. Projects range from residential and commercial developments to system upgrades and monitoring contracts. Customers include major developers, general and electrical contractors, hospitals, Crown Corporations, law enforcement agencies and retail facilities. Currently, 100% of the Companys operations are in Canada.
On February 11, 2009, Smart-tek Automated Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada. Smart-tek Automated Services Inc. will provide integrated and cost-effective management solutions in the area of human resources for public and private companies.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the following significant accounting policies:
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smart-tek Solutions Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Smart-tek Communications Inc. and Smart-tek Automated Services Inc. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company reports accounts receivable at net realizable value. The Companys term of sale provide the basis for when accounts become delinquent or past due. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, when necessary, equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. There is an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2009 of $3,871 (2008 $8,890).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
June 30, 2009 |
Equipment
Equipment, including computer equipment under capital lease agreements, is recorded at cost and depreciated using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 5 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-term assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.
Financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, contract retention receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to officers and directors, shareholder loans and related party loans. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to the short maturities of these instruments, unless otherwise noted.
Interest rate risk arises on the various rates at which the Company has obtained certain long-term debt and related party loans. However, the Company expects to repay these obligations in full either at maturity or at terms set out in the specific agreements. Consequently, risk related to fluctuations on the bank prime is minimal. The remaining balance of long-term debt, obligations under capital lease and amount due to related parties are based on fixed terms of interest. The Company expects to repay these amounts in full, thereby minimizing interest rate risk.
Cash and equivalents
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Income taxes
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, including recognition of deferred tax assets for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement amounts and their respective tax bases. The Company reviews its deferred tax asset for recovery and a valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Companys tax provision in the period of change.
Goodwill and intangible assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the assets estimated fair values with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of managements estimates and judgment includes assumptions pertaining to credit. Worthiness of customers, percentage of completion and related costs for contracts in progress, interest rates, useful lives of assets, future cost trends, tax strategies, and other external market and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions made.

Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for its construction projects using the percentage of completion method, measured using the cost-to-cost method. This method of accounting requires a calculation of job profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each contract abased upon estimates of future outcomes, which include:
- Estimates of total cost to complete the contract;
- Estimates of contract schedule and completion date;
- Estimates of the percentage the contract is complete; and
- Amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change orders included in revenue.
At the outset of each contract, a detailed analysis of estimated cost to complete the contract is prepared. Periodically, evaluation of the estimated cost, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level will be performed. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit and loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of contract revenues, change orders and claims, less cost incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the total estimated contract profit times the current percentage of completion for the contract.
When calculating the amount of total profit or loss on a long-term contract, unapproved claims are recorded as revenue when collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapproved claims under the AICPA Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1) Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. The Company is actively engaged in claims negotiations with customers and the success of the claims negotiations have a direct impact on the profit or loss recorded for any long-term contract. On a quarterly basis, significant contracts are reviewed. However, there are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to, weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future earnings.
The company also provides various other services to customers not covered under construction contracts such as equipment repairs. The revenue from the provision of these types of services is recorded once the specific job is complete.
Concentration of credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterpart will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk related to its account receivable and contract retention receivable. The Companys receivables are comprised of a number of debtors which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk associated with its accounts receivable and contract retention receivable.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Companys Canadian subsidiarys financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at average rates for the period for revenues and expenses. Resulting exchange differences are accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive (loss) income
Comprehensive income or loss encompasses net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss, which includes all other non-owner transactions and events that change shareholders deficiency. The Companys other comprehensive loss reflects the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments on the translation of the financial statements from the functional currency of Canadian dollars into the reporting currency of U.S. dollars.

Stock-based compensation
Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 (as modified by SFAS No.48), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Under APB No.25 compensation expense was recorded based on difference, if any, between the fair value of the Companys stock and the exercise price on the measurement date. The Company accounted for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No.123, which required entities to recognize as expense over the service period the fair value of all stock based awards on the date of grant and EITF No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Investments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which addressed the measurement date and recognition approach for such transactions.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS No.123R) a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, SFAS No.123R superseded APB Opinion No.25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amended SFAS 95 Statement of Cash Flows SFAS No 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair-value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
Under this method, the Company began recognizing compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.
In addition, the Company now recognizes the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to adoption based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding options and warrants. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005.
The Company had two partially vested stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 pursuant to employment agreements entered into between the Companys and its president and vice-president. Under these agreements, the Company issued options to purchase up to 650,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share that vest in equal quarterly installments over a three (3) year period. The Company calculated the fair value of the options to be 195,000 using our option pricing model, of which $32,500 was recognized as expense during the year ended June 30, 2009.
In addition, commencing January 1, 2006, the Company is required to recognize the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding stock options and warrants. At June 30, 2009, the value of the unvested options was $Nil.
Recovery of long-lived assets
The Company adopted SFAS Statement 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 requires recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets 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.
Advertising expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred which was $1,110 for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Loss per share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SAB No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, the basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common stock outstanding during the period. Net earnings (loss) per share on a diluted basis is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to July 1, 2009, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company believes the adoption of the delayed items of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, which established general accounting standards and disclosure for subsequent events. In accordance with SFAS No. 165, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 -- The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net income of $20,891 and cash flow from operations of ($3,092) during the year ended June 30, 2009, and had a working capital deficiency of $1,151,444 and a stockholders deficiency of $685,011. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions are presently being taken to revise the Companys operating results. Management believes that the Company will have adequate cash to fund anticipated needs through June 30, 2010 and beyond primarily as a result of our contract backlog. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company does not have any significant available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to historical operating losses, the Companys operations have not been a source of liquidity and the Company has satisfied its cash requirements through shareholder loans and deferral of salary payments to its officers. In order to obtain necessary capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing or that it can be secured at rates acceptable to the Company. In addition, should the Company be required to either issue stock for services or to secure equity funding, due to the lack of liquidity in the market for the Companys stock such financing would result in significant dilution to its existing shareholders.

2. Acquisitions
On April 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Smart-tek Communications, Inc. (SCI) and with the sole shareholder of SCI to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SCI.
In exchange for the SCI shares, the Company issued to SCIs shareholder, 1,000 common shares and 1 Class A Preferred Share of the Company. The preferred share will enable the holder to exercise the voting control over 40% of the Company upon issuance. The remaining 60% voting control is to be assigned to the outstanding common shares of the Company. Such preferred shares shall not be convertible, exchangeable, transferable or otherwise purchased, conveyed or redeemed at any time while outstanding during a two-year period. In addition, the voting power of such preferred share shall decrease over a two year period so as to have 20% voting control 12 months after issuance, 10% voting control over 18 months after issuance and zero voting control 24 months after issuance at which time the preferred shares will be redeemed for no consideration.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the results of SCIs operations beginning April 16, 2005 are included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition of assets and liabilities has been recorded at their fair market value at the date of purchase. The Company determined that the historical cost of the assets and liabilities acquired approximated their fair market values given the nature of the assets and liabilities acquired. Purchase price allocation was as follows:
Valuation of shares of common stock and preferred stock | $ | 1 | ||
Assets acquired | 276,012 | |||
Liabilities assumed | (727,324 | ) | ||
451,312 | ||||
Goodwill | $ | 451,311 |
3. Contract Retention Receivable
Under the Builders Lien Act (British Columbia), under which the subsidiary SCI operates, for each contract or subcontract a holdback amount is retained by the customer equal to 10% of the greater of:
(a) | The value of the work or materials as they are actually provided under contract or subcontract, and |
|
(b) | The amount of any payment made on account of the contract or subcontract price. |
On the request of a contractor or subcontractor, the payment certifier must, within 10 days after the date of the request, determine whether the contract or subcontract has been completed and, if the payment certifier determines that it has been completed, the payment certifier must issue a certificate of completion.
If a certificate of completion is issued with respect to a contract or subcontract, the holdback period expires at the end of 55 days after the certificate of completion is issued.
As of June 30, 2009 and June 30 2008, contract retention receivables were $235,196 and $226,722 respectively.

5. Bank Overdraft
At June 30, 2009, bank overdrafts covered by a revolving line of credit were $Nil. The revolving line of credit agreement is between SCI, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, and HSBC Bank of Canada. The revolving line of credit facility bears interest at the rate of prime plus 4.50% per annum, allows authorized bank overdrafts of up to $107,475 ($125,000 CDN) and is secured by a shareholder guarantee and $45,350 ($52,745 CDN) in the form of a term deposit. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had written checks of $Nil in excess of the operating line of credit.
Pursuant to the banking facility, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary is required to maintain minimum equity of $85,980 (CDN$100,000). The Companys wholly owned subsidiary is not in compliance with this condition at June 30, 2009.
6. Shareholder loans
At June 30, 2009 the Company is indebted to a company controlled by the Companys president in the amount of $468,134. The loan is unsecured, bears 7.5% interest and has no fixed terms of repayment.
7. Loans payable
At June 30, 2009, the Company has outstanding loans payable in the amount of $310,265. The loans are unsecured, bear no interest and have no fixed terms of repayment.
8. Income taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes are reported using the liabilities method.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and for carry forwards. 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.

8. Income taxes, continued
The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forwards. As of June 30, 2009 the company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,981,146 that can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. A valuation allowance of 100% has been established; based on it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax credit will not be realized.
At June 30, 2009, STS had available federal net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $6,992,146. Under Section 382 of the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the use of prior losses including NOLs is subject to rules if a corporation undergoes an ownership change. Future issuances of equity interests by us for acquisitions or the exercise of outstanding options to purchase our capital stock may result in an ownership change that is large enough for a limitation on the use of NOLs to apply. If the limitation applies, we may be unable to use a material portion of its available NOL carry forwards to reduce future taxable income. The income tax effect of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting gives rise to the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 as follows:
2009 | 2008 | |||||
Deferred tax asset, beginning | $ | 2,409,732 | $ | 1,338,862 | ||

Preferred Stock
Pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated April 15, 2005, the Company agreed to issue one share of Class A preferred stock to the sole shareholder of SCI, Perry Law. The preferred share will enable the holder to exercise the voting control of 40% of the Company upon issuance. The remaining 60% voting control is to be assigned to the outstanding common shares of the Company. Such preferred shares shall not be convertible, exchangeable, transferable or otherwise purchased, conveyed or redeemed at any time while outstanding during a two-year period. In addition, the voting power of such preferred share shall decrease over such two-year period so as to have 20% voting control 12 months after issuance, 10% voting control 18 months after issuance and zero voting control 24 months after issuance, at which time the preferred share will be redeemed by the Company for no consideration.
2005 Stock Incentive Plan
During fiscal 2005, pursuant to provisions under the plans, the Companys Board of Directors cancelled all existing stock option and incentive plans.
The following description applies to the stock incentive plan that was subsequently adopted on May 27, 2005; 1,300,000 options have been granted under this plan as of the date of this filing.
We have reserved for issuance an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. This plan is intended to encourage directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire ownership of common stock. The opportunity so provided is intended to foster in participants a strong incentive to put forth maximum effort for our continued success and growth, to aid in retaining individuals who put forth such efforts, and to assist in attracting the best available individuals to the Company in the future.
Officers (including officers who are members of the board of directors), directors and other employees and consultants of STS and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive options under the stock incentive plan. The committee will administer the stock incentive plan and will determine those persons to whom options will be granted, the number of options to be granted, the provisions applicable to each grant and the time periods during which the options may be exercised. No options may be granted more than ten years after the date of the adoption of the stock incentive plan.
Non-qualified stock options will be granted by the committee with an option price equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock to which the non-qualified stock option relates on the date of grant. The committee may, in its discretion, determine to price the non-qualified option at a different price. In no event may the option price with respect to an incentive stock option granted under the stock option plan be less than the fair market value of such common stock to which the incentive stock option relates on the date the incentive stock option is granted.
Each option granted under the stock incentive plan will be exercisable for a term of not more than ten years after the date of grant. Certain other restrictions will apply in connection with this plan when some awards may be exercised. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the stock incentive plan); the date on which all options outstanding under the stock incentive plan may first be exercised will be accelerated. Generally, all options terminate 90 days after a change of control.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is 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 its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2008.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
C. | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. |
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board Of Directors
At present, we do not have an audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committee.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
1. |
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; | |
2. |
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); | |

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We have no audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our stage of development, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Our Code of Ethics is attached as an exhibit to this annual report.

Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
-20-
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with the exception that Brian Bonar failed to file a Form 3.

Corporate Governance
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(e) of
-26-
Regulation S-B. We have determined that Mr. Perry Law is not an independent director and that Brian Bonar is an independent director as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
We believe that members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any revenues from operations to date.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and for fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
Year Ended | ||
June 30, 200 | June 30, 2009 | |
Audit Fees | $10,000 | $8,800 |
Audit Related Fees | $- | $- |
Tax Fees | $- | $- |
All Other Fees | $- | $- |
Total | $10,000 | $8,800 |
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA as our independent auditor.
