To the
Stockholders
EarthSearch
Communications, Inc.
Atlanta,
Georgia
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of EarthSearch Communications, Inc. as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes
in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in
the United States of America. 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 positions of EarthSearch Communications, Inc.
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations, changes in
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations, and is dependent upon shareholders to provide sufficient
working capital to maintain continuity. These circumstances create substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Organization
EarthSearch
Communications, Inc. (“The Company”) was founded in November 2003 as a Georgia
corporation. The Company is an early stage research and development company with
specialization in GPS and RFID technology. The management announced the
completion of the development of GPS devices embedded with RFID modules which
represents its core technology and products. It has filed provisional business
process patent application with the U. S. trademark office, and has commenced
sales and commercialization of the technology which it expect will result in
revenue that will allow it to sustain its current operation and get to a
profitable status.
The
company launched sales operations in 2008 but subsequently withdrew sales and
commercial resources from the market mid-2008 and 2009 due to the negative
economic and market conditions.
The
operations of its former wholly owned subsidiary EarthSearch Localizacao de
Veiculos, Ltda were discontinued during 2007.
Accounting
basis
The
Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement reporting.
Revenue is generated from monthly subscription fees charged by the Company to
its customers for the use of its GPS applications. Accordingly, revenues are
recognized monthly. Expenses are realized when the obligation is
incurred.
Cash
equivalents
The
Company considers certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments
purchased with maturities of ninety days or less to be cash
equivalents.
Allowance
for bad debts
The
Company made allowance for bad debts in the amount of $260,577 and $195,112 respectively for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 due to uncertainty from the customers who
defaulted due to the bad economy
Deferred
revenue
Deferred
revenue represents advanced for distribution, licensing, and subscription fees
received that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fixed
assets
Fixed
assets are stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed principally by the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the
assets:
|
Estimated

Description
|
useful life

Furniture
and fixtures
|
7
years
|
Equipment
|
5
years
|
Leasehold

|
Life

|
Equipment
to be placed in service will be depreciated once the equipment is placed in
service.
Income
taxes
The
Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No 740, Income Taxes.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recorded to reflect the future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of
assets and liabilities and their tax basis at each year-end. These amounts are
adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be
in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
The
Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on
operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided
when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset
will not be realized.
Research
and development costs
Costs
incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product is
charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the
product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are
capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers.
Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product
is established. We have determined that technological feasibility for our
software products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been
resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the
products are released to manufacturing which occurred in January 2007. The
amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated
life of the products, which is estimated to be 3 years.
The
Company capitalized $55,639 and $388,764 of research and development costs
respectively in 2009 and 2008, and recorded $204,283 and $130,216 of
amortization expense on these costs respectively for the years ended December
31, 2009, and 2008. The company had expensed $2,060,984 of research and
development expenditures from inception to December 31, 2006.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company incurred no federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008. As of December 31, 2009 the Company has a net operating loss
carryover of $8,898,907 to offset future net income. Due to uncertainty
surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax
returns, the Company has placed a full valuation allowance against its net
deferred tax asset. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax asset is realizable, the valuation allowance will be
reduced.
Temporary
differences between the recognition of certain expense items for income tax
purposes and financial reporting purposes are as follows:

NOTE 4 - GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from
operations, and is dependent upon the sale of equity securities to provide
sufficient working capital to maintain continuity. These circumstances create
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
The
Company has incurred net losses of $1,473,225 and $1,216,483 respectively for
the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and, as of December 31, 2009, had
incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,898,907.
The
Company’s existence in the current and prior periods has been dependent upon a)
advances from related parties and other individuals and b) obtaining additional
capital and financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
