Statements:
The information in this report contains
forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the
statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as believes, estimates, could,
possibly, probably, anticipates, projects, expects, may, will, or
should or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking
statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect managements current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results
may differ significantly from managements expectations.
The following discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results

results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
The registrant completed a reverse
merger and recapitalization agreement in March 2009. The accounting acquirer and successor entity, Aria International Incorporated, was formed in July
2008 (see Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements). Accordingly comparative statements of losses and cash flows presented are the operating
results from inception (July 2008) through September 30, 2008.

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in
the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three
and nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2009.
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2008 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Business and Basis of Presentation
Aria International Holdings, Inc. (the Company)
was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on November 21, 2007 under the name TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. On November 30, 2007,
pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement, it acquired control of its now wholly-owned subsidiary, TriCord Hurricane Products,
Inc.
TriCord Hurricane Products, Inc. was originally organized
under the laws of the State of Oklahoma on January 3, 2006. On July 1, 2007, it merged with TriCord Hurricane Products, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company. On November 19, 2007, TriCord Hurricane Products LLC filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Florida
whereby it was converted to a Florida corporation and renamed TriCord Hurricane Products, Inc.
On March 3, 2009, TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Aria Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (the Aria Acquisition) and Aria International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (Aria Incorporated) formed in
July 2008. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Aria Acquisition merged into Aria Incorporated, resulting in Aria Incorporateds becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. (the Merger). On March 9, 2009, TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. changed its name to
Aria International Holdings, Inc. The primary business and market focus of the Company, after the Merger, has been specialized surveillance and
communications solutions to a broad range of customers. The corporate offices of the Company are in Arlington, Virginia.
Merger and Recapitalization:
The acquisition of Aria Incorporated by the Company
(formerly TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc.) (TriCord) resulted in a change in control of the Company and was accounted for as a reverse
merger whereby Aria Incorporated was the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods subsequent to the
reverse merger transaction, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of Aria Incorporated from
its inception (July 2008) and the operations of Aria International Holdings, Inc. (formerly TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc.) subsequent to the March
3, 2009 transaction date. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the
issuance of Aria Incorporated securities for TriCords net monetary assets, which are de minimis, accompanied by a recapitalization;
TriCords liabilities exceeded its assets on the day of the transaction and additional paid capital was adjusted. Accordingly, the Company did not
recognize any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. Aria Incorporated is the surviving
entity.
6
Following the Merger, the Company has focused on the
development of business of Aria Incorporated, the provision of specialized surveillance and communications solutions. The Company no longer actively
pursues the TriCord Hurricane Products business and will likely divest the TriCord Hurricane Products business once an acquirer is identified and terms
acceptable to the Company are agreed upon.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements present the historical financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Aria Incorporated prior to the Merger. Since Aria
Incorporated was formed in July 2008, comparative statements of losses and cash flows presented for comparative periods in 2008 are the operating
results of Aria Incorporated for the period from inception (July 10, 2008) through September 30, 2008. All reference to common stock shares and per
share amounts have been retroactively restated to effect the Merger as if the transaction had taken place as of the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10,
Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets,
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements together with other information
relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial
assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been
disclosed.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605-10). ASC 605-10 requires that
four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the
selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for
which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product
has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element
Arraignments (ASC 605-25). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple
products, services and/or rights to use assets.
In April 2009, the Company entered into a sales contract
with the Royal Thai Army, pursuant to which the Company sells surveillance and communications equipment to the Royal Thai Army. The total contract
amount was $9,700,000, which includes delivery and installation of the equipment, as well as providing training to the buyer. The Company recognizes
revenues from the equipment portion upon shipment and installation, and the service portion upon completion of the training programs. Revenues from
this type of multiple deliverable arrangements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-10, which incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
605-25 separate units of accounting based on the relative fair value of the delivered units. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had received
payments from the Royal Thai Army in the amount of $6,790,000 and the payments received were accounted for as deferred revenues. In connection with
this contract, the Company also had incurred costs and expenses in an aggregate amount of $10,018,906.
These costs and expenses were capitalized as of September
30, 2009, and will be charged to costs of sales upon the delivery of the equipment and services. The Company was also required to deposit with the
buyer cash in the amount of $485,000 to guaranty the performance of this contract and warrant against the defects and malfunctions of the equipment.
The buyer shall return the cash to the Company after a period of 365 days from the acceptance of the equipment. The Company had accounted for the
refundable amount of $485,000 as a non-current asset as of September 30, 2009.
7
New Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those stated below, there have been
no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the recent
accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the
Company.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting
subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be
disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management.
ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacted the disclosure
requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact the Companys results of
operations or financial condition. See Note 11 for disclosures regarding our subsequent events.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
PrinciplesOverall (ASC 105-10). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as
the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB 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 (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs 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. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU
clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted
price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets, or another
valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the
impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted
price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12,
Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the
fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under
certain circumstance, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable
the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining
actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope
of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. This ASU is
effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13,
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that provides amendments to the criteria for separating
consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in
more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a
deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if
vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence
is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the
price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual
8
method of allocation and will require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain
Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, that reduces the types of transactions that
fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be
applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than
incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on
software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition
guidance. Under the ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of
the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver
the products essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible products
functionality. The ASU also provides guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the
scope of software revenue guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). ASU No.
2009-14 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
MATTERS
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. As shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the
Company incurred net losses of $5,910,213. The Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $6,897,825 as of September 30, 2009.
These factors among others may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The Companys existence is dependent upon
managements ability to develop revenues and profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the Company will
attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued growth, distribution and sale of its products and services, and additional equity
investment in the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve the Companys liquidity, the
Company is actively pursuing additional debt or equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. Management expects
to continue this practice and believes that the Merger with Aria Incorporated further increases the potential for private placement of its convertible
securities and/or equity. Outside investment banking services have been arranged to assist and support the future financing requirements of the
Company. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional financing.
By adjusting the Companys operations and development
to the level of capitalization, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits for the next twelve
months. However, if during that period or thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising
sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to the Company, this could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of
operations liquidity and financial condition. If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the
Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that managements actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems.

NOTE 3 AWARD
REPAYABLE
In July 2007, the Company, while conducting the prior
business of TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc., entered into an award agreement under the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology
(OCAST) Technology Business Finance Program funded by the Oklahoma legislature. By the terms of the agreement, TriCord was advanced $100,000 of
matching funds for sales and marketing activities and short-term working capital requirements.
The Company is required to repay the award based on
attaining certain milestones under the award agreement, but in no case later than five years from the date of the award, which is July 2012. In
addition, repayment may be made anytime by the Company prior to the full repayment date in July 2012 in the amount of the award receipt plus one-fifth
(1/5) of the award for each of the year the award is outstanding, as illustrated in the following schedule:
First year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $20,000 =
$120,000
Second year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $40,000 = $140,000
Third year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $60,000= $160,000
Fourth year from the award receipt: $100,000 + 80,000 = $180,000
Fifth year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $100,000 = $200,000
Second year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $40,000 = $140,000
Third year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $60,000= $160,000
Fourth year from the award receipt: $100,000 + 80,000 = $180,000
Fifth year from the award receipt: $100,000 + $100,000 = $200,000
The Company has not pledged any assets as security under
the award agreement. The Company accounted for the amount to be repaid in addition to the original award receipt as accrued interest. Subsequent to the
Merger, the original award of $100,000 was accounted for as long-term liabilities on a consolidated basis and accrued interest in connection with this
award was $45,000 as of September 30, 2009.

On April 30, 2009, the Company also entered into a
short-term loan agreement with a third party. The loan amount was $2,000,000, and the Company granted the lender a security interest equal to the first
$2 million in contract proceeds from the Royal Thai Army (Note 1). The loan provided for a maturity no later than 60 days from execution, and the
Company was required to pay the lender a fee
10
of $100,000 and issue to the lender 750,000 shares of its common stock. The loan was repaid in full as of September 30, 2009, and the Company had accounted for the $100,000 of fees and the fair value of the 750,000 shares of common stock issued (Note 6), or $60,000, as interest expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
NOTE 5 SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES
In June 2008, the Company, while conducting the prior
business of TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc., issued an aggregate of $9,000 of convertible subordinated debentures. The debentures bear interest at 10%
per annum and mature two years after issuance. The debentures are convertible at the debenture holders option to common stock at $0.0525 per
share and are subordinated to the Award Repayable to the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology. Additionally, the debenture
holders received warrants to purchase the Companys common stock which may be exercised into a number of shares equal to three times the number of
shares of common stock into which the debentures are convertible at an exercise price of $0.0525 per share. The warrants expire five years from date of
issuance.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
subtopic 470-20, Debt, Debt with Conversions and Other Options, the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the
convertible debenture. A portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature was allocated to additional paid in capital. The Company
recognized and measured an aggregate of $1,893 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to
additional paid in capital and a discount against the convertible debenture at the time the debentures were issued. The debt discount attributed to the
beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the convertible debentures maturity period (two years) as interest expense.
In connection with the placement of the convertible
debenture, the Company, while conducting the prior business of TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc., issued warrants granting the holders the right to
acquire 514,286 shares of the Companys common stock at $0.0525 per share. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 470-10,
Debt (ASC 470-10), the Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $7,107 to additional paid in capital and
a discount against the convertible debenture at the time the debentures were issued. The warrants were valued in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the
Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 0.875%, a dividend yield
of 0%, and volatility of 160%. The debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the convertible debentures
maturity period (two years) as interest expense.
Subsequent to the Merger, the subordinated convertible
debentures were accounted for as long-term liabilities on a consolidated basis. In May 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Adjustment Agreement with
the debenture holders, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 471,429 shares of its common stock to the debenture holders in
exchange for settlement of the $9,000 of convertible debentures and 514,286 outstanding warrants. Upon the execution of the Stock Adjustment Agreement,
the Company issued an aggregate of 471,429 shares of its common stock to the debenture holders, of which 281,961 shares were contributed by three
significant shareholders of the Company, and the remaining 189,468 shares of common stock were new issuances (Note 6).
The Company amortized the convertible debenture debt
discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants over the term of the debentures. Upon the settlement of
debentures and warrants in May 2009, all unamortized debt discount was charged to interest expense for the period ended September 30,
2009.
NOTE 6 CAPITAL STOCK
Recapitalization pursuant to Merger
The Merger between the Company and Aria Incorporated was
consummated on March 3, 2009, by exchanging 88,815,000 shares of the Companys common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Aria
Incorporated. As a result of the exchange, the stockholders of Aria Incorporated became the controlling stockholders of the Company. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a capital transaction as a result of the reverse merger. Under this method, Aria Incorporated (the accounting
acquirer) is considered to have acquired the Company (the accounting acquiree) on the date of the transaction and continued as the reporting entity
thereafter. The net assets of the Company were recorded at carrying value with no recognition of goodwill.
Preferred Stock
In January 2009, the Company increased its authorized
preferred stock from 1,200,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there
were no preferred shares issued and outstanding.
11
Common Stock
In January 2009, the Company increased its authorized
common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
Company had 148,829,360 and 59,003,192 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Prior to the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of
71,700 shares of common stock to a consultant in exchange for $4,800 of accrued services fees and $936 of services rendered, which approximated the
fair value of the shares issued during the period services were completed and rendered.
Upon the Merger on March 3, 2009, the Company issued an
aggregate of 88,815,000 shares of the Companys common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Aria
Incorporated.
In prior year, the Company issued common stock to
consultants in exchange for services to be rendered in fiscal 2009. The value of the common shares issued was approximately $171,000 and was accounted
for as deferred compensation. The Company had amortized $46,667 of the deferred compensation prior to the Merger and an additional $124,333 was
amortized after the completion of the Merger. The deferred compensation is amortized over the period that the services was provided.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company issued an
aggregate of 750,000 shares of its common stock in connection with a short-term loan agreement with a third party (Note 4). The Company had accounted
for the fair value of the 750,000 shares of common stock issued, or $60,000, as interest expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. In
addition, upon the execution of a Stock Adjustment Agreement the Company entered into with its convertible debenture holders in May 2009 (Note 5), the
Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 471,429 shares of its common stock to the debenture holders, of which 281,961 shares were contributed by three
significant shareholders of the Company, and the remaining 189,468 shares of common stock were new issuances. The fair value of the 471,429 shares of
common stock was $37,714 at that time of issuance, the Company accounted for the conversion of $9,000 debenture and the remaining $28,714 was charged
to operations as loss on settlement of debt during the period ended September 30, 2009.
Subsequent to the Merger, the Company received an aggregate
of $58,000 for approximately 232,000 shares of common stock subscribed. The shares have not been issued as of September 30, 2009, and the Company had
accounted for the proceeds received as stock subscription payable.

The warrants granted in September 2008 were accounted for
as debt discount in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 470-10, Debt (ASC 470-10).
On September 9, 2009, the Company issued 1,503,328 warrants
to purchase the Companys common stock at $0.001 per share exercisable within two years from grant. These warrants were issued to six non-affiliate individuals in
connection with its debt financing (Note 4). The fair value of the warrants in the amount of $72,969 was determined using
the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions. The value of the warrants was accounted for as a debt discount to the notes. The debt discount was amortized based on the original
maturity date, which is in September 2009, and charged to interest expense during the period ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE 8 FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENT
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 825-10 on January
1, 2009. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or
permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of
nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires
an entity to
13
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active
markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs to the valuation
methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs
that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to
measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement.
Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect
adjustment to the beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The carrying value of the Companys cash and cash
equivalents, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term
maturity. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk
and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only
available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Companys long-term debt is the only item that is subject
to SFAS 157 as of September 30, 2009 as follows:
Notes payable to related parties (level 1) $2,893,652
Notes payable (level 1): $525,000
Award repayable (level 1) $145,000
Notes payable (level 1): $525,000
Award repayable (level 1) $145,000
NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Securities Act Violations
On April 3, 2009, the Company terminated Hogan Taylor LLP
f/k/a Hogan & Slovacek, A Professional Corporation, CPAs (Hogan) as the Companys independent registered public accounting
firm effective immediately. The Company terminated Hogan after it was informed by Hogan that Hogan was not independent with respect to the
Companys financial statements issued during the period January 3, 2006 (date of inception) through September 30, 2008 included in an initial
registration statement.
In the event that any of the exemptions from registration
with respect to the issuance of the Companys common stock under federal and applicable state securities laws were not available, the Company may
be subject to claims by federal and state regulators for any such violations. In addition, if any purchaser of the Companys common stock were to
prevail in a suit resulting from a violation of federal or applicable state securities laws, the Company could be liable to return the amount paid for
such securities with interest thereon, less the amount of any income received thereon, upon tender of such securities, or for damages if the purchaser
no longer owns the securities. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any alleged specific violation or the
likelihood of any claim. There can be no assurance that litigation asserting such claims will not be initiated, or that the Company would prevail in
any such litigation.
The Company is unable to predict the extent of its ultimate
liability with respect to any and all future securities matters. The costs and other effects of any future litigation, government investigations, legal
and administrative cases and proceedings, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in this matter could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial condition and operating results.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company,
reflecting the prior business of Tricord, for the year ended December 31, 2007, have been fully restated by the Company and audited by the
Companys current independent registered public accounting firm. These restated consolidated financial statements are included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
14
Litigation
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims,
which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final
disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company is currently a party to two legal proceedings.
The first involves an action filed by Lehmann Group, LLC. The Lehmann Group is seeking to collect a commission, it has alleged to be owed to it,
pursuant to the terms of a contract that Aria Incorporated was awarded by the Royal Thai Army. In this action the Lehman Group alleges that it was a
party to the business development efforts that supported this contract award and seeks three percent (3%) of the total contract value, or $291,000. The
Company believes that this action is without merit and that it has viable defenses to the Lehman Groups claims and intends to vigorously defend
itself against the claims. Management believes that this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial
position or results of operations, regardless of its ultimate outcome.
The second action involves an action filed by the Company
against the Companys former accounting firm, Hogan Taylor LLP. As noted above, Hogan Taylor LLP reported that it had performed auditing services
relating to the Companys consolidated financial statements, even though it was not independent. The Company filed this action seeking

Overview and Organizational History
Aria International Holdings, Inc. (the Company)
was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on November 21, 2007 under the name TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. On November 30, 2007,
pursuant to the terms of a share exchange agreement, it acquired control of its now wholly-owned subsidiary, TriCord Hurricane Products,
Inc.
TriCord Hurricane Products, Inc. was originally organized
under the laws of the State of Oklahoma on January 3, 2006. On July 1, 2007, it merged with TriCord Hurricane Products, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company. On November 19, 2007, TriCord Hurricane Products LLC filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Florida
whereby it was converted to a Florida corporation and renamed TriCord Hurricane Products, Inc.
On March 3, 2009, TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Aria Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (the Aria Acquisition) and Aria International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (Aria Incorporated) formed in
July 2008. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Aria Acquisition merged into Aria Incorporated, resulting in Aria Incorporateds becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. (the Merger). On March 9, 2009, TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. changed its name to
Aria International Holdings, Inc.
The acquisition of Aria Incorporated by the Company
(formerly TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc.) (TriCord) resulted in a change in
16
control of the Company and was accounted for as a
reverse merger whereby Aria Incorporated was the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, for all periods
subsequent to the reverse merger transaction, the financial statements of the Company reflect the historical financial statements of Aria
Incorporated from its inception (July 2008) and the operations of Aria International Holdings, Inc. (formerly TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc.)
subsequent to the March 3, 2009 transaction date.
Following the Merger, the Company has focused on the
development of business of Aria Incorporated, the provision of specialized surveillance and communications solutions. The Company no longer actively
pursues the TriCord Hurricane Products business and will likely divest the TriCord Hurricane Products business once an acquirer is identified and terms
acceptable to the Company are agreed upon.
Aria International Incorporated Business
Aria Incorporated is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and was formed in Delaware in July 2008. Aria Incorporated is focused on providing specialized surveillance and communications solutions to its
customers. Aria Incorporated operates as a solutions provider, a systems integrator, and as an operator of such surveillance and communications
systems. Working closely with clients in a flexible and responsive fashion, Aria Incorporated has been able to constantly adapt as demanded by the
customers environment to changing requirements and provide effective solutions. The founders of Aria Incorporated previously worked on projects
with the United Stated Marine Corps, the United Arab Emirates Air Force, Kuwait Ministry of Interior, Royal Thai Army, Air Force and Marines and the
Indian Ministry of Interior. In addition, the founders of Aria Incorporated have firsthand experience and explicit operational expertise in
surveillance and communications solutions. Aria Incorporation intends to apply that experience and operational expertise to provide engineering, data
collection and fusion, data-virtualization, and provide support for the tactical response to threats and to specific acts of terrorism against ports,
borders and high-value infrastructure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009, we had working capital deficit of
$6,897,825. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we used cash flow in operating activities of $2,818,281 consisting primarily of the net
loss of $5,910,213, net with $869 of depreciation, $5,719 of amortization and write-off of debt discount, $27,864 of recapitalization costs, $22,500 of
operating expenses contributed by subsidiary shareholders, $124,333 of amortization of deferred compensation charged to operations post merger, $28,714
of loss on settlement debt, $60,000 of common stock issued for interest expenses, $72,969 of warrants granted in exchange for interest expense and the changes in the balances of assets and liabilities. Assets
increased $10,503,906, net with an increase in liabilities of $13,252,870.
There was no cash used in investing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009.
We met our cash requirements during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 through $58,098 of proceeds from subscription of the Companys common stock and $2,767,652 of proceeds (net of repayments) from
related and third party loans.
Exploitation of potential revenue sources will be financed
primarily through the sale of securities and convertible debt, issuance of notes payable and other debt or a combination thereof, depending upon the
transaction size, market conditions and other factors.
While we have raised capital to meet our working capital
and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and
development. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
By adjusting our operations and development to the level of
capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits for the next twelve months. However, if during
that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on
terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial
condition.
Our registered independent certified public accountants
have stated in their report that we have incurred significant operating losses and that we are dependent upon managements ability to develop
profitable operations. These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result this may
impede our ability to raise additional capital.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
17
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continuously evaluate, our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, sales returns, bad debts, excess inventory, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Our estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies,
among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605-10). ASC 605-10 requires that
four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the
selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for
which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product
has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element
Arraignments (ASC 605-25). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple
products, services and/or rights to use assets.
In April 2009, the Company entered into a sales contract
with the Royal Thai Army, pursuant to which the Company sells surveillance and communications equipment to the Royal Thai Army. The total contract
amount was $9,700,000, which includes delivery and installation of the equipment, as well as providing training to the buyer. The Company recognizes
revenues from the equipment portion upon shipment and installation, and the service portion upon completion of the training programs. Revenues from
this type of multiple deliverable arrangements are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-10 incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
605-25 separate units of accounting based on the relative fair value of the delivered units. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had received
payments from the Royal Thai Army in the amount of $6,790,000 and the payments received were accounted for as deferred revenues. In connection with
this contract, the Company also had incurred costs and expenses in an aggregate amount of $10,018,906. These costs and expenses were capitalized as of
September 30, 2009, and will be charged to costs of sales upon the delivery of the equipment and services. The Company was also required to deposit
with the buyer cash in the amount of $485,000 to guaranty the performance of this contract and warrant against the defects and malfunctions of the
equipment. The buyer shall return the cash to the Company after a period of 365 days from the acceptance of the equipment. The Company had accounted
for the refundable amount of $485,000 as a non-current asset as of September 30, 2009.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation under
ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation which was adopted in 2006, using the fair value based method. Under this method,
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting
period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or
services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of
the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Company does not have any employee stock options and
stock purchases plans at September 30, 2009.
18
Computation of Net Income (Loss) per
Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed using
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the combination of
dilutive common share equivalents, which include convertible preferred shares, options and warrants and the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the period from inception (July 10, 2008 through
September 30, 2008), common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because
they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10,
Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets,
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and
equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements together with other information
relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial
assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been
disclosed.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those stated below, there have been
no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the recent
accounting pronouncements described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the
Company.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent
Events, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting
subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be
disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management.
ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively. Because ASC Topic 855 impacted the disclosure
requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact the Companys results of
operations or financial condition. See Note 11 for disclosures regarding our subsequent events.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
PrinciplesOverall (ASC 105-10). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as
the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB 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 (ASUs). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs 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. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU
clarifies that the quoted price for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not available, an entity may use, the quoted
price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar
19
liabilities or
similar liabilities traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair
value of a liability is not adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its transfer and indicates circumstances in which
quoted prices for an identical liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be considered level 1 fair value
measurements. This ASU is effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12,
Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), that amends ASC 820 to provide guidance on measuring the
fair value of certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital funds. The ASU indicates that, under
certain circumstance, the fair value of such investments may be determined using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient, unless it is probable
the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. In those situations, the practical expedient cannot be used and disclosure of the remaining
actions necessary to complete the sale is required. The ASU also requires additional disclosures of the attributes of all investments within the scope
of the new guidance, regardless of whether an entity used the practical expedient to measure the fair value of any of its investments. This ASU is
effective October 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect it to have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13,
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force that provides amendments to the criteria for separating
consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements will be separated in
more circumstances than under existing U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a
deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if
vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence
is available. A vendor will be required to determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the
price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement
consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any
discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and
quantitative information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does
not apply to arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software
transactions. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Certain
Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force that reduces the types of transactions that fall
within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be
applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than
incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in ASU No. 2009-14, many tangible products and services that rely on
software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition
guidance. Under the ASU, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of
the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver
the products essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible products
functionality. The ASU also provides guidance on how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the
scope of software revenue guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). ASU No.
2009-14 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
Results of Operations
The Company completed a reverse merger and recapitalization agreement in March 2009. The
accounting acquirer and successor entity, Aria International Incorporated, was formed in July 2008. Accordingly comparative operating results presented are for the period from
inception (July 2008) through September 30, 2008.
20
Revenues
The Company generated no revenues
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to minimal revenues of $36,000 for the period from inception (July 2008) through
September 30, 2008. In April 2009, the Company entered into a contract with the Royal Thai Army, pursuant to which the Company sells surveillance and
communications equipment to the Royal Thai Army. The total contract amount was $9,700,000, which includes delivery and installation of the equipment,
as well as providing training to the buyer. The Company recognizes revenues from the equipment portion upon shipment and installation, and the service
portion upon completion of the training programs. Revenues from this type of multiple deliverable arrangements are accounted for in accordance with
EITF 00-21 separate units of accounting based on the relative fair value of the delivered units. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had received
payments from the Royal Thai Army in the amount of $6,790,000 and the payments received were accounted for as deferred revenues. The equipment is
scheduled to be delivered, installed, and accepted by the buyer in December 2009, at that time that the revenues related to the equipment portion will
be recognized.
Costs of Sales
The Company recorded no costs of
sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. In connection with the sales contract with the Royal Thai Army, the Company had
incurred costs and expenses in an aggregate amount of $10,018,906. These costs and expenses were capitalized as of September 30, 2009, and will be
charged to costs of sales upon the delivery of the equipment and services. The cost of sale for sales of equipment for period from inception (July
2008) through September 30, 2008 was approximately $34,000.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2,306,105 and $5,265,699, respectively. The operating expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2009 consist primarily of $437,973 in personnel costs, $322,958 in professional fees, and $278,357 for promotional, travel and entertainment. The
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consist primarily of $1,380,580 in personnel costs, $1,716,074 in professional fees,
and $629,631 for promotional, travel and entertainment. Operating expenses for the period from inception (July 2008) through September 2008 were
$31,099, consisting of primarily general administrative expenses.
Other Expenses
Interest expense was $365,572 and
$615,800, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. This includes mainly accrued interest for the OCAST award and notes
payable to related parties, as well as $100,000 cash and issuance of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock, valued at $60,000, to a third
party in connection with a short-term loan the Company entered into in April 2009. The Company also accounted for and charged to interest expense the amount of $72,969
for warrants issued in connection with its debt financing in September 2009. The Company had no other income or expenses for the period from
inception (July 2008) through September 30, 2008.
Inflation
In the opinion of management,
inflation will not have an impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off
balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and to
ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial
officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act.
Based on this evaluation, because of the Companys limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2009.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and
Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are
not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting.
During the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2009,
there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
22
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is a party to two legal proceedings which first
became reportable during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009.
The first involves an action filed by Lehmann Group, LLC.
The Lehmann Group is seeking to collect a commission, it has alleged to be owed to it, pursuant to the terms of a contract that Aria Incorporated was
awarded by the Royal Thai Army. In this action the Lehman Group alleges that it was a party to the business development efforts that supported this
contract award and seeks three percent (3%) of the total contract value, or $291,000. The Company believes that this action is without merit and that
it has viable defenses to the Lehman Groups claims and intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. Management believes that this
action will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations, regardless of its
