NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS (Continued)
Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC; and Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC - In June 2007, the Company formed Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that holds title to the Companys original Ft Lauderdale facility and Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC, to hold title to the Companys Ocala expansion facility.
Manure Packing Systems, LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed in February 2006.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scorpion Performance, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries Anodize, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC, Scorpion Racing Products, Inc., Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC and our non-operational subsidiaries Manure Packing Systems, LLC and World Waste Management, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2008 results to conform to the presentation used in 2009.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting where revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which they were incurred. The basis of accounting conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Companys Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2009 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations, for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Use of Estimates
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, our management has estimated the expected economic life and value of our manufacturing equipment, cost of maintenance of robotic equipment, economic benefit of R&D generated improvements in our manufacturing equipment and processes, our marketing initiatives ability to generate sufficient business to support expand production capacity, potential inventory requirements as well as obsolescence and our net operating loss for tax purposes. It is reasonably possible that these estimates will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. During the periods Q309 and YTD08 the Company may have had cash deposits which exceeded federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash balances at high quality financial institutions and has begun to spread its cash balances across several institutions, which the Company believes limits these risks.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand and cash in the bank
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At September, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $1,025 and $ 0 respectively.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. To ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventories. The Company also periodically performs an evaluation of inventory for excess and obsolete items. Such evaluations are based on managements judgment and use of estimates. Such estimates incorporate inventory quantities on-hand, aging of the inventory, sales forecasts for particular product groupings, planned dispositions of product lines and overall industry trends.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of property and small tools are charged to expense as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 605, formerly known as SAB 104 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following four criteria are met:
|
|
|
|
1) |
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
|
2) |
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, |
|
3) |
The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and |
|
4) |
Collectability is reasonably assured. |
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $230,796 and $326,127 during Q309 and Q308, respectively.
Research and Development
Costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for Q309 and Q308 were $90,774 and $128,749, respectively.
Product Warranty
The Companys product warranty limits its exposure to replacement parts for defects in the manufacturing process. The Companys precision robotic manufacturing process by design mitigates manufacturing defects. Accordingly, the cost associated with product warranty has historically been immaterial. As a result, the Company records product replacement costs as incurred.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets
We review intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360 (formerly SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). In August 2008, the Company revised and improved the impairment analysis for long-lived assets. The improved analysis included fair value estimates for the facilities which includes land and building and improvements. For furniture, fixtures and equipment an analysis of the projected discounted cash flow generated from the Companys operations was performed. The results of this analysis were sufficient to conclude that no impairment charge was required to the Companys long-lived assets.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be recovered. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
Earnings per share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (formerly SFAS 128, Earnings per Share). Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280 (formerly SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information) requires companies to report information about operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. It also requires segment disclosures about products and services geographic and major customers. The Company determined that did not have any separately reportable operating segments as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, FASB issued its final statement SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and DisclosuresOverall. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Stock Purchase Note
On May 2, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a director and beneficial shareholder of the Company, to buy back 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the shares at a price of $0.25 per Share with a cash purchase price of $500,000 and the balance of $2,000,000 in the form of a 7% note due on January 1, 2013 and secured by and subject to a Mortgage and Security Agreement on the Companys manufacturing facility and real property located in Broward County, Florida.
The Company will hold the Shares, representing approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, in escrow until the Note is paid in full at which time, the Shares will be retired to the treasury of the Company. Until the Note is paid in full, the Company, or its designees, will control the voting rights of the Shares.
There is no prepayment penalty under the Note and the Company reserves the right to withhold payments due under the Note in the event of breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has the option to pay interest only at a rate of 10% per annum on the outstanding balance of the Note until the Due Date, at which time a balloon payment will be due. In January 2009, the Company exercised its option to pay interest only. In the third quarter of 2009, the Company made interest payments totaling $88,542.

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)
The Company may also extend the due date of the Note for one additional five-year period. If the Company opts to extend the Note, the Company will pay principal and interest in the amount of the greater of 10% per annum or prime plus 4% per annum on the remaining balance by making monthly payments in an amount that would result in equal monthly payments being made until final payment of the remaining balance on January 1, 2018.
The Company retains the rights to collect all rents, issues and profits from the property and has the right to cure any Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Note, upon 30 days notice.
Capitalized Lease
In January 2009, the Company executed two capital leases with Machinery Finance Resources, LLC. The terms of the lease agreement provide financing for the acquisition of $385,927 of manufacturing equipment for the Ocala facility. The leases have been accounted for as capital leases and provide for 60 monthly payments of $7,585 and bear interest at 6.9%. Amortization of assets under capitalized leases is included in depreciation expense. Interest incurred in the nine months ending September 30, 2009 is $16,355

Under the terms of the offering, for a period of two years, the Company will pay a 10% dividend on each share of Series A Preferred stock, payable at the option of the Company, in cash or shares of common stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock carries 10 votes on matters submitted to shareholders for voting purposes and is convertible into 10 shares of the Companys common stock subject to anti-dilution in the event of the subdivision, combination or consolidation by stock split, stock dividend, combination or like event, into a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock.

The Series B Preferred Shares are not entitled to dividends or preference upon liquidation. On July 17, the Company authorized an amendment to the Certificate of Designations of the Companys Series B Preferred stock to clarify transfer and conversion restrictions. Articles of Amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation were filed on November 9, 2009. As amended, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may convert shares to common stock of the Company only upon a change of control in the management and ownership of the Company. Further, holders of Series B Preferred Stock may only transfer the shares to immediate family members. As of the date of this Report, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued.

NOTE 6 LIQUIDITY
Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flow generated from our operations and to a decreasing extent, the fund raising activities associated with selling stock and unit purchase options to foreign investors. These sources of liquidity are needed to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, and the remaining one-time costs associated with the completion of our facilities expansion in Ocala, Florida.
NOTE 7 COMMITMENTS and CONTINGENCIES
Ocala Facility Construction, The Company estimates that an additional $350,000 will be needed over the next nine months to complete the construction and outfitting of the Ocala Facility necessary to make the facility operational. Due to significant unforeseen expenses incurred in the process of completing the retrofitting of our facility, particularly associated with electrical systems, window installations and HVAC systems, we expanded our previous estimate of completion costs. Consequently, we have revised our estimates of future costs necessary to make the facility operational to reflect an additional $350,000.

OVERVIEW
The Company. Scorpion Performance, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Florida on December 17, 1999, for the initial purpose of manufacturing high-grade rocker arms for high performance automobiles. A rocker arm is a pivoted lever used in an internal combustion engine to transfer the motion of the camshaft or pushrod to the valve stem that opens and closes the valves that let the air/fuel mixture into an engine and the exhaust gases out of the engine. From rocker arms, we have branched into a full service high performance parts and components manufacturing firm. We currently design and manufacture a variety of branded and private label high performance automotive products and related components to automotive original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and the related aftermarket. We are also developing other manufacturing and service capabilities to enhance our automotive parts business which includes in-house anodizing services to produce high-end finished products for a variety of uses in the automotive and medical and photographic imaging industries.
Products and Services. We manufacture rocker arms under both our own Scorpion brand and also to our customers specifications under their private label brands, using what we believe to be state of the art lathes, grinders, hydraulic tombstone fixtures and related machines. We start with bars of raw high-grade aluminum, that are stacked in a special magazine bar feeder that allows our operators to automatically feed the bars into a saw that cuts each bar to specification. Under our latest automation technology, the cut bars are fed into a series of machines that have been specially engineered by Scorpion engineers to cut, punch out and grind the bars into individual rocker arms. The rocker arms are then immersed in a series of solutions to anodize the rocker arms resulting in 16 colorful rocker arms bearing a distinctive laser-etched logo nestled in a candy box for shipment to a warehouse marketer.
-19-
Production Costs and Suppliers. Our principal raw materials are aluminum extrusion and specialty steel, which along with labor represent the largest components of our production costs. Steel demand and prices have tumbled across the globe after the global credit crisis paralyzed consumers purchasing power and also forced producers to cut production sharply to match weakening demand. As a result we have enjoyed lower costs and have been able to adequately maintain reserves. Although recent economic problems and uncertainty in the U.S. and global economy has forced some suppliers into bankruptcy or out of the market, we continue to purchase raw material from an adequate pool of up to 19 suppliers, the largest being Crown Extrusions, which represents approximately 21% of our materials purchases.
Employees. Scorpion has 37 full-time employees and no part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Management of Scorpion considers its relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.
Customers and Distribution. We sell our products through over 110 distributors and directly to OEM customers, of which one distributor accounts for approximately 27% of our revenue, and in the aggregate with four other distributors, accounts for over 50% of our annual revenue. All of our orders are open purchase orders from distributors most of which we have established long-term relationships and, generally, are processed, manufactured and delivered to the distributor within 10-12 days of receipt of the purchase order. We deliver or ship finished products directly to OEM customers. Our products are also distributed to aftermarket customers through a network of warehouse auto parts distributors.
SUBSIDIARIES
The Companys wholly owned subsidiaries are Anodize, LLC, Scorpion Racing Products, Inc., Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC, Manure Packing Systems, LLC, World Waste Management, LLC and Scorpion Rockers, Inc.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates and policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and below:
In June 2009, FASB issued its final statement SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 made the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) the single source of U.S. GAAP used by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative accounting guidance for SEC registrants. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing U.S. GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. Following SFAS 168, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.
-20-
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and DisclosuresOverall. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
-21-
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Other ASUs not effective until after September 30, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis addresses the major factors that affected our operations and financial condition reflected in our consolidated unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. This discussion is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and related notes and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008
NET INCOME
Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $677,567 a decrease of $11,483 or 2%, compared to net revenue of $689,050 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was down from the same period ended 2008 due to reduced orders for anodizing services, as a result of the economic downturn; however this decrease was offset during 2009 by an increase in private label parts and by sales of automotive parts through the Companys Scorpion Racing Products division which we launched in late 2008.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,376,579 a decrease of $234,893 or 15% compared to cost of sales of $1,611,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As discussed under results for the three months ended September 30, cost of sales decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in freight and a decrease due to a reclassification of direct labor costs in connection with the build out of our Ocala facility. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $834,961, an increase of $29,647 or 4%, compared to gross profit of $805,314 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General and administrative expense decreased $173,908 or 14% which is primarily a result of the following: |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
o |
a $9,887 increase in other general and administrative expenses. |
Other Income (Expense) for the nine months ended September 30 2009 was ($104,783) an increase of $5,898 or 6% as compared to other income of ($98,885) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Interest income was down $18,711 or 91% due which was offset by a $47,187 increase in interest expense related to our stock repurchase from a former director and a $60,000 decrease in lawsuit settlements for September 30, 2009 which was $15,000 compared to $75,000 for September 30, 2008.
We realized a net loss of $1,203,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $1,570,727 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $(10,586,664) and cash and cash equivalents of $155,661. For the year ended December 31, 2008 our accumulated deficit and cash equivalents were $(9,382,912) and $297,838, respectively.
Our primary sources of cash continue to be from our rocker arm operations, anodizing services and the sale of our equity securities. Our cash flows from operations are derived primarily from the manufacture and distribution of Scorpion brand and private label rocker arms and other automotive parts through our Scorpion Racing division. Cash flows from our anodizing services are dependent upon the revenue generated from third party customers which has decreased in 2009 due to the economic downturn and fewer customers ordering during the first three quarters. Anodizing services are primarily a component of our rocker arm manufacturing process which other manufacturers utilize from time to time for both automotive applications as well as non-automotive applications including medical components and equipment.
Since 2004, we have sold shares of our common stock and unit purchase options to non-US resident investors in offerings intended to meet the exemptions of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). In April 2009, we initiated a private offering to existing shareholders of the Company of up to 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A 10% Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Shares) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Under the terms of the offering, for a period of two years, the Company will pay a 10% dividend on each share of Series A Preferred stock, payable at the option of the Company, in cash or shares of common stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock carries 10 votes on matters submitted to shareholders for voting purposes and is convertible into 10 shares of the Companys common stock subject to anti-dilution in the event of the subdivision, combination or consolidation by stock split, stock dividend, combination or like event, into a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we have received funded subscriptions from the sale of our common stock of $1,165,214; $990,578 from the sale of unit purchase options; and $2,285,700 from the sale of the Series A Preferred stock, less aggregate selling expenses of $1,853,339 for aggregate net proceeds for the nine months ended September 30 of $4,441,492. Since we began our common stock Regulation S offering in 2004 and through September 30, 2009, we have raised gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock, unit purchase options and Series A Preferred stock of $28,403,927, $9,425,889 and $2,285,700 respectively, less aggregate selling expenses of $18,087,641 for aggregate net proceeds of $22,028,250.
The funds received from the sale of our common stock, unit purchase options and preferred stock have been used for operational purposes and equipment purchases offset by cash used in operating and investing activities for our products and services. We believe that our operating and capital requirements in connection with operations have been and will continue to grow and sustain operations. Because our primary uses of cash are for capital expenditures, research and development and construction costs including plant expansion and ongoing plant construction in Ocala, Florida, repayment of debt and pursuit of new business opportunities, we believe we are in a position to further delay or scale back these expenditures should the need arise. In addition, we will continue to seek capital from foreign investors to the extent such capital is available.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months September 30, 2009
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used net cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $893,753. Net cash used reflects an adjusted net loss for the period ended of approximately $773,654 as adjusted for various items which impact net income but do not impact cash during the period, such as depreciation and amortization. Net cash used also reflects $120,099 of cash used to support net changes in working capital items, which included:
|
|
|
a $139,075 increase in accounts receivable as a result of slowed collection efforts due to the economy; |
|
|
|
an $82,104 increase in inventory costs due to the use of existing inventory for current production; |
|
|
|
a $155,997 decrease in other current assets as a result primarily of accepting delivery in the current quarter of inventory that was prepaid in the prior quarter; |
|
|
|
a $54,917 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of satisfying vendor liabilities and cutting back on purchases. |
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Our investing activities used $831,690 in net cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash used is composed entirely of capital expenditures for equipment and outfitting the Ocala facility.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our financing activities provided net cash of $1,583,266 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We raised approximately $506,426, $321,815 and $1,417,200 through the sale of our common stock, unit purchase options and Series A Preferred stock, respectively, net of $967,822 in issuance costs. We also received $305,647 in proceeds from new capitalized lease financing obtained in connection with certain robotic equipment that we acquired during the first quarter of 2009.
Financial Position
Our total assets increased $324,598 or 3% to $10,047,597 as of September 30, 2009 from $9,723,000 as of December 31, 2008 primarily as a result of an increase in property and equipment, net. The increase in property and equipment, net was primarily associated with capital expenditures for equipment and outfitting the Ocala facility since the year ended December 31, 2008 offset by a $76,994 decrease in other current assets as a result of our expensing prepaid expenses and not prepaying for current year and a $142,177 decrease in cash. Accounts receivable as a percentage of total current assets has fluctuated between 14% and 16% during 2009 as compared to 7% and 9% during 2008 and prior periods as a result of several vendors implementing EDI which delays payment to net 65-70 days.
-28-
In May 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a former director to buy back 10,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock for the aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the shares at a price of $0.25 per share with a cash purchase price of $500,000 and the balance of $2,000,000 in the form of a 7% Note due on January 1, 2013 and secured by and subject to a Mortgage and Security Agreement on the Companys primary manufacturing facility and real property located in Broward County, Florida. There is no prepayment penalty under the Note and the Company reserves the right to withhold payments due under the Note in the event of breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has the option to pay interest only at a rate of 10% per annum on the outstanding balance of the Note until the due date, at which time a balloon payment will be due. In January 2009, we exercised our option to pay interest only.
The Company may also extend the due date of the Note for one additional five-year period. If the Company opts to extend the Note, the Company will pay principal and interest in the amount of the greater of 10% per annum or prime plus 4% per annum on the remaining balance by making monthly payments in an amount that would result in equal monthly payments being made until final payment of the remaining balance on January 1, 2018. Under the terms of the Mortgage and Security Agreement executed on May 2, 2008, the Company retains the rights to collect all rents, issues and profits from the property and has the right to cure any Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Note, upon 30 days notice. As of September 30, 2009, we owe $1,686,514 on the Note and have made interest payments totaling $91,666.
Material Commitments
On September 28, 2009, we signed a contract, subject to seller financing of $2,000,000, to purchase real estate that adjoins our Ocala facility. The property consists of 11.73 acres with a 60,876 sq. foot building of which 40,000 sq. feet are currently leased to an unrelated third party. If consummated, we intend to use the remaining 20,876 sq. feet for additional operations.
We had one outstanding purchase commitments to purchase raw materials as of September 30, 2009 from Eaton Steel for $60,000.
As of September 30, 2009, we have expended approximately $2,378,003 to complete the construction and outfitting of our expansion facility in Ocala. The transition from our Ft. Lauderdale facility to the Ocala facility has been delayed due to significant unforeseen expenses that arose during the end of 2008 and through the current period related to installation of electrical systems, window installations and HVAC systems. These delays, together with ongoing permitting and zoning delays and a pending road widening project by Marion County that will impact our property have pushed our completion date estimates to the third quarter of 2010. In addition, as initially budgeted, we intended to keep our anodizing division in our Fort Lauderdale location; however, management has reassessed the costs and the Companys needs to onsite services and has revised the budget and projections to include the costs of building out and relocating anodizing to the Ocala location. We believe that an additional $350,000 remains to be spent during the last quarter of 2009 to complete the construction and outfitting of our expansion facility in Ocala which will include our anodizing division. Consequently, we have revised our estimates of future costs necessary to make the facility operational to reflect an additional $728,003 in addition to the $2,000,000 initially budgeted for completion of the facility.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Robert Stopanio, our President and Principal Executive Officer and Karen Rodgers, our Controller and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon their evaluation, Robert Stopanio and Karen Rodgers concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

RISK FACTORS |
Please consider the following risk factors carefully. The descriptions below include material changes to the description of the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report. The risks described below and in our 2008 Annual Report could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also may be adversely affected by risks not currently known or risks that we do not currently consider to be material.
ONGOING DELAYS AND UNANTICIPATED COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RELOCATION OF OUR PRIMARY MANUFACTURING FACILITY TO OCALA COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY.
To facilitate anticipated growth from the automotive and medical component industry, in July 2007 we purchased a 36,000 square foot single story building on 10.5 acres in Ocala, Florida and began refurbishing the existing building with the intention of moving most of our manufacturing operations from Fort Lauderdale to Ocala by the first quarter of 2007. We initially budgeted $2 million for the refurbishment and relocation; however, we have had to revise our budget and extend our move in date as a result of unforeseen delays with permitting, zoning and a pending road widening project by Marion County. In addition, we have revised our initial plans to include build-out and relocation of our anodizing division from our Fort Lauderdale location to Ocala. As of September 30, 2009, we have expended approximately $2,378,003 for construction costs, permitting and new equipment purchases, and believe we will need an additional $350,000 to make the facility fully operational. As a result of the delays, we anticipate that the Ocala facility will be fully operational by the third quarter of 2010. We believe that we will have enough cash on hand from our investment activities and operations to finance additional expenditures and do not believe that prolonged problems or delays will threaten the commercial viability of the Ocala facility; however, we may not have anticipated all the logistical impediments and obstacles and may incur further unanticipated delays and additional costs which could adversely affect our liquidity.
