PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 Certain statements concerning the Company's plans and intentions included herein may constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for which the Company claims a safe harbor under that Act. There are a number of factors that may affect the future results of the Company, including, but not limited to, (a) the ability of the company to obtain additional funding for operations, (b) the continued availability of management to develop the business plan, (c) regulatory acceptance of our products in diverse localities and (d) successful development and market acceptance of the company’s products.
 
This periodic report may contain both historical facts and forward-looking statements.  Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those mentioned above.  Moreover, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted.

Overview
AMERICAN SECURITY RESOURCES CORPORATION (the “Company” or ARSC) is a holding company with three wholly owned subsidiaries.  Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation has completed several development stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway.  We have two additional subsidiaries. We formed American Security Capital Corporation that is to provide financing options for the sales of products created by Hydra Fuel Cell and American Hydrogen. American Hydrogen Corporation is developing technologies to formulate hydrogen that we hope will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy.

Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation completed the initial development stage and several advanced stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We believe that the HydraStax® unit's cost per kWh will be significantly below that of its competitors, giving them a competitive edge as a replacement for residential grid power. Thus, upon certification Hydra intends to aggressively market these units and the Company is actively pursuing financing to begin manufacturing and distribution.

Hydra successfully defended itself from claims of patent infringement brought by a third party in 2006. Hydra’s fuel cell is original and Hydra categorically denied that it infringed on any patents. The Federal Court in Portland, Oregon dismissed the plaintiff’s suit against Hydra in 2008.  We estimate that our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary will require approximately $1 million to produce and sell HydraStax® units to cash flow self-sufficiency. There is no guarantee that management will be successful in obtaining these funds.

American Hydrogen Corporation (AHC) was created to develop and commercialize technologies to formulate hydrogen that we believe will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy. The first hydrogen formulator that AHC will vend is expected to produce hydrogen from natural gas and propane and will be designed to provide hydrogen for Hydra’s fuel cells.

The Company continues to review acquisition opportunities that would enhance its fuel cell offerings and expand its offerings in alternative energy production.

The Company’s Internet address is http://www.americansecurityresources.com. Information contained on the Company’s web site is not a part of this report. The Company’s stock is traded on Pink Sheets under the symbol “ARSC.PK.”
 
Organizational History
The Company, previously known as Computer Automation Systems, Inc., was reorganized and recapitalized in 2004 changing its name, first to Kahuna Network Security, Inc. and in July 2004, to American Security Resources Corporation with a business focus of acquiring companies in homeland security and national defense. In October 2005, the Company changed its focus to the development and commercialization of technologically advanced, high volume mass producible, hydrogen fuel cells and related clean energy technologies.
 
The Company’s Products and Services
The Company is developing hydrogen fuel cells that it expects to begin delivering in 2009. Additionally, the Company is developing technologies to produce hydrogen at a reduced cost.
 
Employees
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had two contract management employees. None of the Company’s employees are covered by any collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that its relations with its employee contractors are good and the Company has not experienced any work stoppages attributable to employee disagreements.

 
 

 



The Company’s subsidiary, Hydra Fuel Cell Corporation, has approximately six contractors working on the development of the Company’s proprietary HydraStax™ hydrogen fuel cells and other hydrogen related technologies.

The Company’s subsidiary, American Hydrogen Corporation, has approximately three contractors working on the development of the Company’s hydrogen generators.

The Company’s subsidiary, American Security Capital, currently does not have any employees or contractors.


RISK FACTORS

Limited History
The Company is a startup with limited operating history and faces challenges typical of new businesses in highly competitive markets with many other providers of the same or essentially the same products and services.

No Revenue and Limited Resources
The Company is a start up business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to finance its development, or that the Company will be able profitably to operate such business.

Limited Staff
The Company has two officers and five additional directors charged with the responsibility of executing the Company’s business strategy. Any death, injury or other incapacity of one or more of them could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete its business strategy.

Volatility of Stock Market
There have been significant fluctuations in the market price for the Company's common stock. Factors such as variations in the Company's revenues, earnings, if any, and cash flow and announcements of innovations or acquisitions by the Company or its competitors could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected companies in the alternative energy business resulting in changes in the market price of the stocks of many companies which may not have been directly related to the operating performance of those companies. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

ASRC has leased approximately 1,600 square feet of office space at 19 Briar Hollow Lane, Ste 125, Houston, TX 77027, for approximately $2,650 per month through March 31, 2012. Additionally, the Company’s Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary leases approximately 5,000 square feet of office and light manufacturing space in Portland, Oregon, for approximately $4,930 per month. The Company believes this space will be sufficient for its needs for the term of the lease.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business.   The Company is presently involved in litigation with Golden State Equity, formerly known as Golden Gate Investors, over funding agreements. Golden State brought suit in December of 2009 alleging default under the terms of the agreements. ARSC counter sued in January and changed jurisdictions to Federal Court in San Diego. While it is too early in the process to accurately predict an outcome, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the suit will yield a result materially different than the amounts previously called for in the agreements.


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company held a shareholder meeting in July 2008. The Company’s Articles and By-Laws were amended and an employee incentive stock plan was reauthorized.

Holders
The number of record holders of the Company's securities as of the date of this Report is approximately 331.

Dividends
The Company has not declared any cash dividends with respect to its common stock, and does not intend to declare cash dividends in the foreseeable future. On April 7, 2009, the Company announced the plan to spinoff Hydra to its shareholders through a special stock dividend. This will be accomplished through a Proxy and shareholder vote in 2010. There are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company's ability to pay dividends on its securities.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In June 2007, there was a cashless exercise of warrants resulting in 76,873 shares of common stock being issued.

In 2007, ASRC granted options to purchase 46,850,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a consulting contract with an exercise price equal to 70% of the average closing price of the lowest 8 days of the prior twenty trading days and were exercisable for 90 days. The value of the options was computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following input values and assumption: (1) Stock price: the closing price on the day previous to the grant date; (2) warrant exercise price equal to 70% of the weighted average price of the lowest eight days of the prior twenty trading days; (3) volatility ranging from 95.62% to 195.42%; (4) discount rate of 4.72% to 4.91%; (5) term of 90 days and (6) a zero dividend rate.  The amount of expense recognized during 2007 in connection with these warrants was $1,240,307 and is included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007.  All of these options were exercised, resulting in cash receipts of $1,479,518.

All sales of the Company’s securities were made by officers of the Company who have received no commission or other remuneration for the solicitation of any person in connection with the respective sales of the securities described above. The recipients of securities represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to sale, or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. Appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in these transactions.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Overview.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this document contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as current expectations and assumptions. From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements, including those that are contained in this report, relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, its ability to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, maintaining compliance with the terms of its credit agreement, the ability to sell some or all of its business units and the amount of proceeds from any such sales, the impact of the significant reduction in research and development expenditures, limitations in its ability to fund capital expenditures to remain competitive, adverse changes in the global economy, sudden decreases in the demand for electronic products and semiconductors, the impact of competition, delays in product development schedules, delays due to technical difficulties related to developing and implementing technology, delays in delivery schedules, the ability to attract and maintain sufficient levels of people with specific technical talents, future results related to changes in demand for the Company’s products and services and the Company’s customers’ products and services, and other items discussed elsewhere in this report. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including those set forth elsewhere in this report. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Plan for Future Operations
In 2005, we acquired certain intellectual property and contracted with engineers to begin our hydrogen fuel cell division.  Seven patent applications have been filed covering some of the innovations incorporated in the HydraStax® and we intend to file additional patent applications. In November 2008 the first of the patents was issued.
 
Our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary completed several development stages of the HydraStax® unit and testing for certification is currently underway. We believe that the HydraStax® unit's cost per kWh will be significantly below that of its competitors, giving it a competitive edge as a replacement for residential grid power. Thus, upon certification, Hydra intends to aggressively market these units. The Company is actively pursuing financing to begin manufacturing and distribution. Hydra installed two of its HydraStax® fuel cells in residences, one in Texas in October 2007 and one in Florida in December 2007, as “Beta Test demonstration units”.  These were milestones for Hydra and for the fuel cell industry

American Hydrogen Corporation (AHC) was formed to develop and commercialize technologies to formulate hydrogen that we believe will change the economics of producing hydrogen sufficiently to enable the hydrogen economy.  

The Company continues to review acquisition opportunities that would enhance its fuel cell offerings, expand its offerings in alternative energy production or represent opportunities in homeland security or national defense.

We have had no revenue since beginning our Hydra subsidiary.  Although we expect revenues from our HydraStax™ unit during 2009, we do expect cash flows from distribution of the unit to become self-funding during 2009.  We estimate that our Hydra Fuel Cell subsidiary will require approximately $1 million to produce and sell HydraStax® units to cash flow self-sufficiency. There is no guarantee that management will be successful in obtaining these funds.

Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and all available information. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to recording various accruals, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, and potential losses from contingencies and litigation. We believe the policies discussed below are the most critical to our financial statements because they are affected significantly by management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates.

Effective December 15, 2005, we adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (ASC 718), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” and applied the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized includes (a) the compensation cost for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 15, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC 718 and (b) the compensation cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to December 15, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.  The Company had not issued any options to employees in the prior periods thus; there was no impact of adopting the new standard.

 Additionally, we accounted for restricted stock awards granted using the measurement and recognition provisions of ASC 718. We measure the fair value of the restricted stock awards on the grant date and recognize them in earnings over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

The Company determines the value of stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation costs for share-based awards with pro rata vesting are allocated to periods on a straight-line basis.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R “Business Combinations.” ASC 805 will require, among other things, the expensing of direct transaction costs, in process research and development to be capitalized, certain contingent assets and liabilities to be recognized at fair value and earn-out arrangements may be required to be measured at fair value recognized each period in earnings. In addition, certain material adjustments will be required to be made to purchase accounting entries at the initial acquisition date and will cause revisions to previously issued financial information in subsequent filings. ASC 805 is effective for transactions occurring after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results from operations and cash flows should we enter into a material business combination after the standards effective date.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment to SFAS 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 and requires entities to provide greater transparency on how and why entities use derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for under ASC 815, and the effect the derivative instruments may have on the results of operations and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since ASC 815 only applies to disclosures it has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results from operations, and cash flows.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167, addresses the effects of eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) concept from Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and addresses certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including transparency of enterprises’ involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs). SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the implications of this standard and evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 167 on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Company had no revenue during the calendar years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The Company had no gross profit during fiscal years2008 and 2007. General and administrative expenses were $ 1,677,876 and $4,176,295for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively. Principal general and administrative expenses included contracted services ($222,245 and $2,940,232, respectively); legal expenses ($352,066 and $460,167, respectively); payroll and contractors ($760,530 and $1,529,569 respectively); and rent ($96,384 and $92,932, respectively).

 
 

 




Research and development expenses were $1,528,081and $1,039,652 for the calendar years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively for costs incurred in its Hydra Fuel Cell and American Hydrogen subsidiaries relating to the development of its HydraStax® hydrogen fuel and hydrogen generator.

 
Significant components of operating expenses for 2008 and 2007 were:

 
2008
 
2007
Fair value of warrants issued for services
$72,546
 
$1,959,329
Stock issued for officers and directors' services
658,780

Stock issued to outside consultants
510,746
 
854,468
Totals
$1,242,072
 
$2,940,232

The Company had net operating losses of $3,818,868 and $5,486,135 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
We had no revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Our working capital deficit increased by $797,618to ($1,809,941) at December 31, 2008 compared to ($1,012,323) at December 31, 2007. This deficit is primarily due to lack of revenues while we are in development stage and we continue to incur ordinary research and development and operating expenses as well as reflecting our outstanding debenture balances as current liabilities as a result of defaults under SEC filing provisions in those debenture agreements.

Our cash flows from operations were negative during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, due to our lack of revenues and the continuation of research and development and operating costs. Our primary funding source was the exercise of stock options for cash, issuance of stock for cash, and proceeds from new convertible debentures resulting in total cash provided by financing activities of $1,587,697.

We consumed $1,290,195 in cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with $1,651,405 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We had a net comprehensive loss of $3,818,868 and $5,486,135 or $0.01 and $0.04 per share for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Our financial statements are prepared using principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we do not have significant cash or other material liquid assets, nor do we have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations. If we are required to obtain additional debt and equity financing or our illiquidity could suppress the value and price of our shares if and when trading in those shares develops. However, our future offerings of securities may not be undertaken, and if undertaken, may not be successful or the proceeds derived from these offerings may be less than anticipated and/or may be insufficient to fund operations and meet the needs of our business plan. Our current working capital is not sufficient to cover expected cash requirements for 2008 or to bring us to a positive cash flow position. If we do not raise sufficient capital to execute our business plan, it is possible that we will not be able to continue as a going concern.

We are attempting to raise additional capital through sales of common stock either through private placements or public offerings, as well as seeking other sources of funding. There are no assurances that ASRC will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain the additional financing through private placements or public offerings to support the investment in Hydra’s fuel cell technology. If these funds are not available ASRC may not continue its operations or execute its business plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
To the Board of Directors and Management of
American Security Resources, Inc.
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Security Resources Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of American Security Resources Corporation as of December 31, 2007, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 14, 2009, on those statements included an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Security Resources Corporation as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses and will require additional capital to develop its business until the Company either (1) achieves a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flows from operations; or (2) obtains additional financing necessary to support its working capital requirements.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICAN SECURITY RESOURCES CORPORATION
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

The Company was incorporated in Nevada in 1998. It began operations as Computer Automation Systems, Inc. In January of 2004, the Company was recapitalized and its name was changed to Kahuna Network Security Inc. On July 2, 2004, the Board of Directors voted to change the name of the Company to American Security Resources Corporation (“ASRC” or “the Company”), a change that was ratified by a majority of the Company’s shareholders in July of 2004.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Security Resources Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Management determined that ASRC, upon embarking on the new business plan of development and marketing of the HydraStax hydrogen fuel cell, has re-entered the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. Consequently, ASRC has presented these financial statements in accordance with that Statement, including losses incurred from October 1, 2005 (re-entering of development stage) to December 31, 2008.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, ASRC considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment is valued at cost.
Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
ASRC reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. ASRC assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (ASC 360), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Research and Development Costs
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred, including primarily contracting costs.

 
 

 



Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (ASC 740), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.
 
Pursuant to ASC 740, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. Under the provisions of ASC 740-10, we determined that our net deferred tax asset needed to be fully reserved given recent results of operations.
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, also included in ASC 740. The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. The number of potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive was 41,826,702 common stock potentially issuable under outstanding options/warrants.

Stock Based Compensation
Effective December 15, 2005, we adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (ASC 718), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” and applied the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized includes (a) the compensation cost for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 15, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC 718 and (b) the compensation cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to December 15, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.  The Company had not issued any options to employees in the prior periods thus; there was no impact of adopting the new standard.

 Additionally, we accounted for restricted stock awards granted using the measurement and recognition provisions of ASC 718. We measure the fair value of the restricted stock awards on the grant date and recognize them in earnings over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

The Company determines the value of stock options utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation costs for share-based awards with pro rata vesting are allocated to periods on a straight-line basis.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Management believes that the carrying values of these assets and liabilities are representative of their respective fair values based on their short-term nature.

 
 

 



Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R “Business Combinations.” ASC 805 will require, among other things, the expensing of direct transaction costs, in process research and development to be capitalized, certain contingent assets and liabilities to be recognized at fair value and earn-out arrangements may be required to be measured at fair value recognized each period in earnings. In addition, certain material adjustments will be required to
be made to purchase accounting entries at the initial acquisition date and will cause revisions to previously issued financial information in subsequent filings. ASC 805 is effective for transactions occurring after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results from operations and cash flows should we enter into a material business combination after the standards effective date.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815), previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment to SFAS 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 and requires entities to provide greater transparency on how and why entities use derivative instruments, how derivative instruments are accounted for under ASC 815, and the effect the derivative instruments may have on the results of operations and cash flows. ASC 815 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since ASC 815 only applies to disclosures it has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results from operations, and cash flows.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167, addresses the effects of eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) concept from Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and addresses certain key provisions of FIN 46(R), including transparency of enterprises’ involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs). SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the implications of this standard and evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 167 on our consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, ASRC incurred recurring losses from continuing operations of $3,818,868 and $5,486,135 in the years ended 2008 and 2007, respectively. This condition creates an uncertainty as to ASRC’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock either through private placements or public offerings, as well as seeking other sources of funding. There are no assurances that ASRC will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain the additional financing through private placements or public offerings to support the investment in Hydra’s fuel cell technology. If these funds are not available ASRC may not continue its operations or execute its business plan. The conditions raise substantial doubt about ASRC’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should ASRC be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4- INTANGIBLE ASSETS
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s intangible asset consisted of a license with Ohio University for Hydrogen technology. Pursuant to the License Agreement dated August 2, 2007 between the Company and Ohio University (the “License Agreement”), the Company had a revocable, exclusive, royalty-bearing, worldwide license in and to technology relating to ammonia fuel cell electrolyzer.

 
 

 



The License Agreement has an initial term equal to the remaining life of Ohio University’s patent, which was approximately 17 years.  At December 31, 2007, the Company has recorded $20,080 in amortization expense based on the straight line method over the 17 years left on the initial 20 year life of the patent.

As consideration for the license from Ohio University, the Company paid $100,000, issued 2,000,000 shares of restricted stock, issued 2,000,000 warrants exercisable for a three year period at $0.041 per share (the closing price on the transaction date) and agreed to provide the University with $600,000 in sponsored research on the patent, all which in the aggregate the Company valued at $819,300.   The Company determined the fair value of the 2,000,000 shares of restricted stock by using the closing price ($.041 per share) of the stock on the Agreement. The warrants were valued at $37,300 using the Black Scholes model as described in Note 9. Additionally, the Agreement calls for the Company to pay a royalty of 4% of annual sales of manufactured ammonia Electrolyzer units, 8% of net sales of Hydrogen fuel and other products and services based on the Licensed Technology, Company improvements or joint improvements.  The Company shall also pay Ohio University 30% of the upfront fees, milestone fees, royalties and/or other compensation or consideration received by the Company in exchange for the grant of sublicense rights in any portion of the Licensed Technology, Company improvements or joint improvements to persons or entities not party to the License Agreement.  The Company has agreed to pay Ohio University an annual development budget of $25,000 until the annual royalties due Ohio University exceed $25,000.  A failure to comply with any of the above requirements could result in the termination of the License Agreement by Ohio University.

At March 31, 2008, the Company was in default of the agreement due to non payment. . On August 12, 2008, the Company paid Ohio University approximately $208,000 to bring current its liability on the license fees and sponsored research payments.  
During the fourth quarter 2008, the Company was again in default and opted to terminate its agreement with Ohio University and determined that the License Agreement did not have any future economic benefit or any substantial value; as a result, the Company wrote of the remaining balance of the intangible resulting in a loss of $283,500.

$584,605

Following is a description of each of the convertible debentures listed above:

December 13, 2007 Debenture
The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor on December 13, 2007for the sale of $1,500,000 in a convertible debenture bearing interest at 7.25% per annum, payable on or before December 12, 2010.

A prospectus relates to the resale of the common stock underlying the convertible debenture.  The terms of the convertible debenture calls for the investor to provide the Company with an aggregate of $1,500,000 as follows;

·  
$200,000 was disbursed on December 13, 2007, with aggregate additional funding of $575,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008.
·  
$1,300,000 secured promissory note bearing interest at 7.75% per annum, due on demand at any time after February 1, 2011.  The investor is obligated to make monthly periodic prepayments of $250,000 during each month that the promissory in outstanding.  Interest is payable on a monthly basis, commencing January 15, 2008.  The interest rate shall be increased by 0.25 percentage points per each Periodic Prepayment that is not paid by the investor, provided however that in no event shall the interest rate exceed an amount equal to 12.5%.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $575,000 under this promissory note.

 
 

 



Accordingly, we have received a total of $575,000 and $200,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement during the years 2008 and 2007 respectively.  Pursuant to the convertible debenture the investor may convert the amount paid towards the Securities Purchase Agreement into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.25, or (ii) 80% of the average of the 5 lowest volume weighted average prices during the 20 trading days prior to investor’s election to convert (the percentage being a “Discount Multiplier”).  If any portion of the principal or accrued interest on this convertible debenture is not paid within ten (10) days of when it is due, the Discount Multiplier shall decrease by one percentage point (1%) for all conversions of the convertible debenture.  If the investor elects to convert a portion of the convertible debenture and, on the day that the election is made, the volume weighted average price is below $0.01, we shall have the right to prepay that portion of the convertible debenture that investor elected to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 150% of such amount.  In the event that we elect to prepay that portion of the convertible debenture, investor shall have the right to withdraw its conversion notice.

We evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to the Company’s option to settle in cash if the weighted average price drops below a certain point and sufficient shares appear available, we determined no embedded derivatives existed and FASB No. 133 did not apply.

As required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-05 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”, we valued the beneficial conversion feature related to the outstanding debt which was treated as a loan discount and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the life of the note.

During 2008 the investor converted $337,800 of the outstanding principal into 81,189,562 shares of common stock of the Company.  The Company also received $575,000 in principal payments on the secured promissory note during 2008.

In the event that we default on the payment of the convertible debenture, the investor shall have the right to declare the outstanding principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable in cash at a price of 150% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest.  The company became in default on this debenture when we were unable to timely file required periodic and annual reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 12 or 15(d) of the 1934 Securities and Exchange Act. One of the requirements in our convertible debenture agreement was that the Company timely file all reports required As a result, the convertible debenture was callable by the holder at 150% of the unpaid principal balance at December 31, 2008. The Company also asserts that the investor breached its agreement resulting in the acceleration of the remaining balance plus a penalty (Note 14).

The Company has accrued an estimated penalty of $218,600 at December 31, 2008. The default also caused this convertible debenture to be treated as a current liability as it became payable on demand. The Company determined that the penalty should not be given derivative treatment, because in the event the penalty is called by the holder, it is to be paid in cash.  

January 17, 2008 Debenture
On January 17, 2008, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Agreement with an accredited investor for a $100,000 convertible debenture bearing interest at 10% per annum, payable on or before November 30, 2008. There were $10,000 in financing costs for this debt issuance. The financing costs were deferred and amortized using the effective interest method.

Pursuant to the convertible debenture the debenture holder did  not have the right to convert the debenture  until June 1, 2008, at which he has  the right to convert at 80% of the average closing share price of the five (5) trading days prior to conversion.  Prior to the conversion date, the Company reserves the right to pay back the full amount of principal plus any interest due at that time.  In the event that the Company pays the debenture on or before May 31, 2008, a bonus (Conversion Bonus) of share per dollar of principal will be paid to the debenture holder. The Company found that this bonus results in a beneficial conversion feature which was valued at $2,900. This feature was expensed on the date of issuance.

We evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied.

In accordance with the option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $14,282 and an offsetting discount on debt of $14,282. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of .2 – 3.4 years; (2) a computed volatility rate of 47.36% to750.34 % (3) a discount rate of 1.37% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

 
 

 



In July 2008, the investor converted the outstanding principal into 5,360,161 shares of common stock of the Company.

February 28, 2008 Debenture
On February 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of an aggregate of $515,000 in a convertible debenture bearing interest at 7.25% per annum, payable on or before February 28, 2012. There were $35,000 in financing costs for this debt issuance. The financing costs were deferred and amortized using the effective interest method. This expense was $7,292 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Pursuant to the convertible debenture the investor may convert the debenture  into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 80% of the volume weighted average price for three regular trading days selected by the debenture holder from twenty trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the conversion date.

We evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied.

In accordance with the option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $558,412 and an offsetting loss on derivative of $43,412 and discount on debt of $515,000. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of 4 years; (2) a computed volatility rate from 132% to 197%(3) a discount rate of 2.10% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $93,183 was amortized and is included in interest expense. The loss on derivative is equal to the difference between the discount on debt and the derivative liability. The instrument was re-valued at period end, and the resulting change for the year of $9,507 was included in the statement of operations as a net gain on the derivative liability.

During fiscal 2008, the investor converted $20,000 of the outstanding principal into 7,854,138 shares of common stock of the Company.

The company became in default on this debenture when we were unable to timely file required periodic and annual reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 12 or 15(d) of the 1934 Securities and Exchange Act. One of the requirements in our convertible debenture agreement was that the Company timely file all reports required As a result, the convertible debenture could be called by the holder for the unpaid principal balance at December 31, 2008.  The default caused this convertible debenture to be treated as a current liability as it became payable on demand.

May 16, 2008 Debenture
On May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Agreement with an accredited investor for a $50,000 convertible debenture bearing interest at 10% per annum, payable on or before May 14, 2009.

Pursuant to the convertible debenture the debenture holder did  not have the right to convert the debenture  until June 1, 2008, at which he has  the right to convert at the lower of $0.20 per share or 80% of the average closing share price of the five (5) trading days prior to conversion.  Prior to the conversion date, the Company reserves the right to pay back the full amount of principal plus any interest due at that time. We evaluated this agreement pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and FASB No. 133 applied.

In accordance with the option allowed in SFAS 155, the Company has elected to value the derivative separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instrument. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $48,996 and an offsetting discount on debt of $48,996. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of 1 year; (2) a computed volatility rate of 132% (3) a discount rate of 2.17% and (4) zero dividends. The discount is equal to the value of the note issued, as it can only be discounted up to the value of the note and is being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $28,581 was amortized and is included in interest expense. The instrument was re-valued at year end, and the resulting change of $23,105 was included in the statement of operations as a reduction of the derivative liability.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the holder of this convertible debenture converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest into 39,772,727 shares of common stock of the Company.

 
 

 



Derivative Liability
The Company evaluated all convertible debt and outstanding warrants to determine whether these instruments may be tainted from the aforementioned derivative. All warrants outstanding were considered tainted as a result of the derivative treatment. The Company valued these warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Subsequently, the consultant exercised warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares for $77,000 in cash.

On January 7, 2008, the Company entered into a lease/purchase agreement with Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation of Pomeroy, Ohio on a 10,000 square foot building and approximately 3 acres of property in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.  The Company shall commence monthly payments of $7,049.89 on February 1, 2009 for the fifteen-year term of the lease.  The Company shall have an option to purchase the building and property during the term of the lease for a sum of $800,000 less the amount of principal that has been paid to date of closing based on a 6% interest rate.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, we determined that this lease did not suite our operating needs and negotiated a complete cancellation of the agreement effective in February 2009.  Both parties agreed no money or liability is due by us or the lessor.  Consequently, we wrote off the capitalized asset and corresponding lease obligation during 2008.

As previously mentioned, in Note 5, ASRC was in default with a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor at December 31, 2008.  The Company has accrued an estimated contingent liability of $218,600 representing an estimated penalty due according to the Purchase Agreement.

 
 

 

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In February 2009, the holder of a $50,000 convertible debenture converted the outstanding principal and accrued interest into 39,772,727 shares of common stock of the Company.

The Company is presently involved in litigation with Golden State Equity, formerly known as Golden Gate Investors, over funding agreements. Golden State brought suit in December of 2009 alleging default under the terms of the agreements. ARSC counter sued in January and changed jurisdictions to Federal Court in San Diego. While it is too early in the process to accurately predict an outcome, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of the suit will yield a result materially different than the amounts previously called for in the agreements.
 
PART III

ITEM 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On November 13, 2008, McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C. was dismissed as the independent auditor for the Company.

 McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C. has served as the independent auditor  of the Company’s annual financial statements from the period ending December 31, 2007 through the subsequent interim periods ended June 30, 2008.  From the date on which McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C. was engaged until the date they were dismissed, there were no disagreements with McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C., would have caused McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P. C. to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-B.

McElravy, Kinchen Associates, P.C.’s report on the Company’s financial statements for year ended December 31, 2007, did not contain adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

On October 27, 2008, the Company executed an engagement letter with Clay Thomas, P. C. to assume the role of its new certifying accountant. Clay Thomas P. C. has been asked to perform the quarterly review of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

On May 18, 2009, Clay Thomas PC resigned as the independent auditor for the Company.
 
Clay Thomas PC served as the independent auditor of the Company’s financial statements beginning from the period ending September 30, 2008 and restated quarterly reports for the period ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.  From the date on which Clay Thomas PC was engaged until the date they resigned, there were no disagreements with Clay Thomas PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Clay Thomas PC., would have caused Clay Thomas PC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with any reports it would have issued, and there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-B.  Clay Thomas PC did not prepare any reports on the Company’s financial statement.

On January 19, 2010, PS Stephenson & Co., P. C. was appointed as the independent auditor for American Security Resources Corporation (the “Registrant”).

The Company had no discussions with PS Stephenson & Co., P. C., prior to their appointment, regarding application of accounting principles to any transaction completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, nor was any discussion held on any matter that is subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
 

Item 9A (T). Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 

 
 

 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.  The failure to timely file this annual report for 2008 leads to the conclusion that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  As of the date of this report, the Company has added the further step of fully discussing with its outside advisors whether they are aware of any new SEC rules and regulations affecting our disclosure requirements and whether each report being filed is compliant with current rules and regulations. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and 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 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, a control 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.

CEO and CFO Certifications
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.
