ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT AND INFORMATION

We are including the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-K to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.   Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts.  Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.  In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: the ability of the Company's management to operate on a global basis; the ability of the Company to effectuate and successfully operate acquisitions, and new operations; the ability of the Company to obtain acceptable forms and amounts of financing to fund current operations and planned acquisitions; the political, economic and military climate in nations where the Company may have interests and operations; the ability to engage the services of suitable consultants or employees in foreign countries; and competition and the ever-changing nature of the home automation industry.  The Company has no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of future events or circumstances.

INTRODUCTION

First Capital International, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Ranger/USA, Inc., incorporated as a Delaware Corporation on April 21, 1994 and assumed its current name in August 1998 when new management took over the Company.  At the time new management assumed control, the Company had no existing operations, and began implementation of a new business plan.  Beginning in 1998, the Company’s original focus was the identification, acquisition and operation of businesses serving or focused on Central and Eastern European markets.  Since 2001, the Company has focused its operations on the development of its “smart house” technology and markets for the Company’s new home command center.

References to First Capital International, Inc. in this Form 10-K include First Capital International, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary VIP Systems, Inc., which is a home automation and video surveillance solutions firm.

At the annual meeting of the stockholders held on July 14, 2006, the stockholders approved a 1-for-3 reverse split.  The effect of our reverse split is reflected in all references to the price of our common stock and the unaudited financial statements herein.

Our principal executive offices are located at 5120 Woodway, Suite 9024, Houston, Texas 77056; voice: (713) 629-4866 fax: (713) 629-4913. Our corporate web site is at www.FirstCap.net.

We are engaged in the design, production and sale of security system for homeland security applications as well as home automation and video surveillance systems, including highly sophisticated marine video surveillance applications.  It is our intent to grow through the continued development and marketing of this new and innovative technology.

Patents

In October 2001, we filed a US patent application for our VIP Systems(TM) with fully integrated software/hardware and began assembling units for Beta testing. On September 30, 2003, we received Patent # US 6,628,510 for our VIP Systems(TM).


We developed an Industrial Security Solution (“Solution”) for complex industrial projects including projects related to the oil and gas industry. This Solution allows a client to monitor remote sites, record events on video and exercise full control over any power units at the industrial site remotely. This system can also be used as an anti-terrorist device to preclude unauthorized use of important industrial equipments in case of a takeover attempt. We believe that this Solution can be marketed through governmental agencies, as well as major industrial companies. At the present time, we are looking into possible alliances in order to market this product worldwide.

PROJECTS

During 2009, we completed several security installations at Marriott Hotel Group properties in Texas, Florida and Louisiana.   Our marketing efforts with the Marriott Hotel Group allowed us to secure contracts to install video surveillance systems in several Marriott Hotels in Florida and Texas.

Projects in Florida

We are focusing on video surveillance business opportunities in Florida and are currently in negotiation to install security systems with several large properties.

Despite the real estate downturn, we are bidding on several hi-rise commercial building projects in Florida and believe that our efforts will bring contracts to provide CCTV/automation solutions for these projects.
 
Projects in Texas

We are bidding on large security projects with several Houston area school districts and are planning on marketing our products and capabilities to various government entities.

We are bidding on several high-rise condominium projects in the Houston area. The current economic conditions have hindered our efforts in successfully closing new deals with new luxury high-rise complexes in Houston to install a security solution as well as to design for the owners a new state-of-the-art “Concierge” Digital Living Automation software.  We believe there are new opportunities for our home automation solutions.   We anticipate the hi-rise condo project will be a good source for the Company’s revenue through upsell activities, of which there can be no assurances.

We are also actively involved in several Houston hotels’ installation projects, predominantly Marriott and Hilton Hotels, as well as upscale residential projects in Houston.

We are considering launching our “Concierge” software platform nationwide.  We have had numerous discussions with integrators and hi-rise management companies that showed interest in purchasing our concierge platform.  As a result, we are developing strategies for selling and marketing the “Concierge” platform nationwide.  However, we are anticipating a market slowdown in home automation due to the current national economic crisis.

New Developments

Due to the current economic crisis, we foresee instabilities and a rise of domestic terrorism throughout the United States.  As a countermeasure company, we are developing a threat evaluation program for owners of condominium properties, commercial malls, office buildings and municipal facilities.

We have also developed applications jointly with ZuluBravo, LLC, allowing detection of homemade explosives throughout buildings, malls and hotels.

We believe this new technology will augment the Company’s current security system and video surveillance product line and will greatly enhance our marketing position.

Due to the current energy crises and significant rise in alternative energy projects worldwide, we are working on the development of a security concept for wind power and solar farm projects.  We believe we can market this alternative energy security concept worldwide.


BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

We are a home automation and video security technology company.  During 2001, we began transitioning from our US-based Internet and telecommunications business model to the home automation technology business model by developing a new home automation product VIP Systems(TM) which represents a complete unit with home control functions.  The technology also has an industrial application.
 
In the broad market for services and support for the products offered by VIP systems, larger companies such as ADT, ACG, etc., takes the bulk of the market.  We rely to a large extent on previous customers and their network of contacts as well as exhibits and conferences.

There’s currently no government approval requirement for the products we offer.
 
EMPLOYEES

As of April 13, 2010, we had 9 employees.   No employees are represented by a union.  We believe that our employee relations are good.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

GOING CONCERN RISK

During 2009 and 2008, we were dependent on debt and equity raised from individual investors and related parties to sustain our operations.  We incurred net losses of $219,948 and $383,789 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  We also had significant negative cash flows from operations during each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  These factors combined with the cash requirements inherent in our businesses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.  Our long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon three key factors as follows:

 - Our ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of our business operations;

 - Our ability to acquire or internally develop viable businesses; and

 - Our ability to ultimately achieve profitability and cash flows from operations in amounts that will sustain our operations.

As a result of potential liquidity problems, our auditors have added an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, indicating that substantial doubt exists concerning our ability to continue as a going concern.

RECENT LOSSES AND ACCUMULATED LOSSES AND DEFICIT, AND POTENTIAL DEFICIENCIES IN LIQUIDITY

Our ability to achieve profitability depends on our ability to successfully develop and market our home automation technology.  We can give no assurance that we will be able to achieve commercial success.  We are subject to all risks inherent in a growing venture, including the need to develop marketing expertise and produce significant revenue.  We may incur losses for the foreseeable future due to the significant costs associated with home automation and video security technology operations.

We incurred net losses of $219,948 and $383,789 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Recurring losses have produced an accumulated deficit of $11,717,385 at December 31, 2009.  Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $905,841, an increase of $10,695, which represents a 1% increase from 2008 amounts.  Our revenue increase was attributable primarily to direct marketing activities.

Our new focus has resulted in further development of VIP Systems(TM) that we feel can further improve our operating results.  We believe that our revenues will increase, and that we will ultimately be profitable, although we can provide no assurance that profitability will occur.

LACK OF FINANCING FOR FUTURE ACQUISITIONS AND EXPENDITURES


Until our operating results improve sufficiently, we must obtain outside financing to fund the expansion of the business and to meet our obligations as they become due.  Any additional debt or equity financing may be dilutive to the interests of our shareholders.  Our financing must be provided from our operations, or from the sale of equity securities, borrowing, or other sources of third party financing in order for us to expand operations.  The sale of equity securities could dilute our existing stockholders' interest, and borrowings from third parties could result in our assets being pledged as collateral and loan terms which would increase our debt service requirements and could restrict our operations.  We can give no assurance that financing will be available from any source, or, if available, upon terms and conditions acceptable to us.

RISK OF DILUTION UPON CONVERSION OF OPTIONS

At December 31, 2009, we had outstanding a total of 5,230,000 options to purchase our common stock at exercise price ranging between $0.03 to $0.20 per share.  These prices are within the current market prices.  If exercises or conversions occur, current shareholders will be subject to an immediate dilution in per share net tangible book value.

EFFECT ON MARKET RELATED TO SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

At December 31, 2009, we had 36,809,671 outstanding shares, of which approximately 5,590,688 shares are free trading shares, and 31,218,983 shares are restricted securities as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933.  31,218,983 shares of our restricted common stock have been held for more than one year.  6,984,836 have been held by non-affiliates for more than one year and may be sold subject to volume restrictions.  We can make no prediction as to the effect that resale of our restricted common stock, or the availability of such shares for sale, will have on market prices.  The possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market would likely have a material adverse effect on prevailing market prices for our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our securities.

ABILITY TO LOCATE SUITABLE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS

We periodically enter into preliminary, non-binding discussions with other firms in the automation industry in the U.S. and Europe.  These discussions could result in business combinations.  While we desire that such business combinations occur, we can give no assurance that any future business combination can be structured on terms acceptable to us.  We seek to accomplish acquisitions on a stock exchange basis with a minimal cash cost.  This would enable us to acquire additional assets and maintain our cash flow as well, but could result in substantial dilution in per share net tangible book value to existing shareholders.

CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT AND CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

As of December 31, 2009, our Directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates collectively and beneficially owned approximately 66.1% of our outstanding common stock, including all warrants exercisable within 60 days.  This concentration of voting control gives our Directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates substantial influence over any matters which require a shareholder vote, including, without limitation, the election of Directors, even if their interests may conflict with those of other shareholders.  It could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us.  This could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the then prevailing market prices for their shares of common stock.

SIGNIFICANT COST AND TIME DEVOTED TO COMPLIANCE INITIATIVES BY MANAGEMENT AS A RESULT OF OPERATING AS A PUBLIC COMPANY

We will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a fully-reporting public company.  In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives.  Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.  For example, we expect these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage.


In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  In particular, commencing in fiscal 2007, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.  Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts.  We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.  Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

MARKET LIQUIDITY OF OUR SECURITIES AND PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS

The trading price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share.  As a result of this price level, trading in our common stock would be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades generally involving any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions).  For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must determine the suitability of the penny stock for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before sale.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.  As a consequence, the market liquidity of our common stock could be severely affected or limited by these regulatory requirements.

POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF COMMON STOCK PRICE

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, as has been the case with the securities of many other small capitalization companies.  The securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility and the market prices of securities for many companies, particularly small capitalization companies, have experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performances or underlying asset values of such companies.

ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

We presently have authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.  As of December 31, 2009 we had 4,500,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding.  The outstanding shares of preferred stock are convertible into approximately 82,400,000 shares of our common stock and are entitled to certain dividend rights.  The outstanding shares of preferred stock do not have any voting rights.  Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action or consent by the stockholders, to issue the authorized preferred stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares in each series, and to determine the voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation rights, conversion rights, and other rights of any series of preferred stock.  The shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and could prevent holders of common stock from receiving a premium upon the sale of the common stock.  For example, an issuance of preferred stock could result in a class of securities outstanding that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over our common stock, and could (upon conversion or otherwise) enjoy all of the rights of holders of common stock.


Our Board's authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts and could delay or prevent a change in control of us through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, by making such takeover attempts more difficult or costly to achieve.

NO CASH DIVIDENDS

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We currently intend to retain future earnings to finance our growth.  The only way for you to realize a return on your investment in our stock may be to sell your shares in the open market.

LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY

Our Articles of Incorporation provide, as permitted by governing Delaware law, that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, with certain exceptions.  These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf.

COMPETITION

There are presently several major competitors in the home automation industry.  Many of our competitors are more established companies with substantially greater capital resources and substantially greater marketing capabilities than us.  We can not give any assurances that we will be able to successfully compete in this market.

DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT

Our success is substantially dependent upon the time, talent, and experience of Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.  We have no employment agreement with Mr. Genin.  The loss of the services of Mr. Genin would have a material adverse impact on us.  We can give no assurance that a replacement for Mr. Genin could be located in the event of his unavailability.  Further, in order for us to expand our business operations, we must continue to improve and expand the level of expertise of our personnel and we must attract, train and manage qualified managers and employees to oversee and manage our expanding operations.  Demand for technology industry personnel is high.  We can give no assurance that we will be in a position to offer competitive compensation packages to attract or retain our personnel.

ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH

Our intention is to expand by developing our automation business.  We are subject to a variety of risks.  Our growth may place a significant strain on our day-to-day management and operations.  We can give no assurance that our systems, controls or personnel will be sufficient to meet these demands.  Inadequacies in these areas could have a material adverse effect on us.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We seek patent protection on our core technologies, applications and improvements of these technologies and on related inventions that will help ensure our access to desired markets.  As of April 13, 2010, we owned one patent.  Our policy is to file patent applications and to protect technology, inventions and improvements to inventions that are commercially important to the development of our business.  Consistent with our business plans, we have focused since 2002 on building and protecting our patent estate in automation and remote management control.  Our issued patent has an expiration date of September 6, 2021.

We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, trademarks, copyright protection and continuing technological and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position.  Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain patent protection for our products and processes, to preserve our trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located at 5120 Woodway, Suite 9024, Houston, Texas 77056, in approximately 2,123 square feet of office space which is leased, on a 5-year contract basis expiring January 31, 2012 for $3,822 per month.  We believe that our offices are adequate for our present and future needs.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 27, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against us by Virage Consulting at the US Southern District Court of New York.  The issue arises from a promissory note collateralized by an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares (or 833,334 shares after a 1-for-3 reverse split) of our company for $500,000 by Virage Consulting in 2006 to expire in May, 2007.  However, Virage Consulting decided to exercise its option to convert and purchased the shares.  The shares were issued and delivered to Virage Consulting at their request.  The agreement allowed the investor to dispose of the shares, in part or in full prior to May, 2007.  The proceeds from any such disposal would have reduced the principal balance of $500,000.  We believe the note effectively became null and void when Virage Consulting accepted the shares in April 2006. We have hired an attorney and are proceeding accordingly. Currently, the principal balance remains on the books as a current note payable until an outcome can be reasonably determined.

On October 8, 2008, J.W. Rogers, an investor, named the Company and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer, parties to a lawsuit filed in the 295th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas alleging impropriety and fraud in a recent stock purchase.  We consider this to be a meritless lawsuit and have filed a motion to remove ourselves from this lawsuit.

On December 19, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against VIP Systems and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer, by Brodson Construction for breach of contract as a sub-contractor for approximately $34,000 including damages.  We consider this to be a frivolous lawsuit and have retained an attorney to counter sue.  The lawsuit is currently in process thus no probable outcome is known at this time. As such, no accrual is recorded at December 31, 2009.

On August 21, 2009, a lawsuit was filed by Carnes Engineering, Inc. against the Company and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer filed in the County Civil Court at Law No. 1 of Harris County, Texas, alleging non-payment for services performed in the Company’s main office amounting to approximately $19,000.  Management intends to settle however the amount is currently in negotiations. Thus, the maximum liability of $19,000 is accrued and included in the total accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance of $110,178 at December 31, 2009.

PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

In the U.S., our common stock is currently traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board ("OTCBB") under the symbol "FCPN.OB".  From February 1999 to August 2006 our common stock was traded under the symbol “FCAI.OB”.  At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 14, 2006, the stockholders approved a three-to-one reverse split of the common stock; and approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 and increasing the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000.  The reverse split of the common stock became effective on August 7, 2006.  The effect of this reverse split is reflected in the audited condensed financial statements herein.

The following table sets forth the reported high and low closing prices for our common stock on the OTCBB for the last two fiscal years adjusted for the reverse split discussed above.  As quoted by Commodity Systems, Inc., the quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not paid, and we do not currently intend to pay, cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  Our current policy is for us to retain all earnings, if any, to provide funds for our operation and expansion.  The declaration of dividends, if any, will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, which may consider such factors as our results of operations, financial condition, capital needs and acquisition strategy, among others.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  These estimates and assumptions provide a 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, and these differences may be material.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company enters into two types of sales of VIP Systems: sales to end-users and sales to resellers.  Revenue on sales to end-users is recognized upon completion of installation and testing of the system.  Revenue on sales to resellers is recognized upon delivery of systems or for major long-term projects, recognized upon completion of each phase of installation.

Payments and advances received for future sales or installation of systems are deferred until the delivery and/or installation is complete.  For major long-term projects, revenue is recognized upon completion of each phase of installation.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted current accounting guidance which requires all share-based payments to employees (which includes non-employee Board of Directors), including employee stock options, warrants and restricted stock, be measured at the fair value of the award and expensed over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The fair value of common stock options or warrants granted to employees is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model by using the historical volatility of comparable public companies. The calculation also takes into account the common stock fair market value at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the common stock option or warrant, the dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.

The Company from time to time may issue stock options, warrants and restricted stock to acquire goods or services from third parties. Restricted stock, options or warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the date required by current accounting guidance. In accordance with current accounting guidance, the options or warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying equity instrument on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance, is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period.

Valuation and Amortization Method — We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and a single option award approach.  This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.


Expected Term — The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and is determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior as influenced by changes to the terms of its stock-based awards.

Expected Volatility — The fair value of stock based payments is valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method with a volatility factor based on our historical stock trading history.

Risk-Free Interest Rate — We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury securities with an equivalent term.

Estimated Forfeitures — When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behavior as well as analysis of actual option forfeitures.

Compensation expenses for Restricted Stocks issued to employees and others are calculated based on the fair market value on the grant date.  We recognized $106,625 stock-based compensation cost in the year ended December 31, 2009 for the options and there were 0 shares restricted stock issued to employees and others.

The following description of business, our financial position and our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and the Notes to Financial Statements contained in this report on Form 10-K.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

In case of expansion we plan to increase the number of our employees.  Expansion of our work force and support of our current operations will be financed from sale of our common stock.  Accordingly, we expect that our existing stockholders will suffer significant dilution in per share book value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are developing new application of our technology and continue development and installation of home automation and video observation systems.  Currently, we focus our efforts on building alliances with real estate development and property management companies that are interested in improving security and value of the property.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AS COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

During the year ended December 31, 2009, our revenue was $905,841 as compared to $895,146 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Our revenue increase was attributable primarily to our marketing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, cost of system sales decreased by $144,718 to $321,102 from $465,820 as reported in December 31, 2008 due to more labor intensive projects and lesser material costs associated with these projects.  Operating and general expenses decreased to $724,100 during the year ended December 31, 2009 from $730,922 as reported in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to decreases in bonuses, contracted services, professional fees and travel partially offset by increases in payroll and rent expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 we recognized stock and share based compensation of $106,625 and $22,205, respectively.  The issuance of common stock and share based compensation to employees and officers increased in 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $219,948 as compared to a net loss of $383,789 in the year ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease is primarily due to more labor intensive projects along with equipments installed with lower materials costs.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2009, we had cash resources of $4,442.  We estimate that during the year 2010, our cash requirements will be approximately $1,080,000, or $270,000 per quarter.  We believe that we will have positive cash flow from operations in 2010 and our revenue-producing operations will expand significantly.  Such an expansion of operations would require that we raise a substantial amount of capital (cash) through the sale of our stock or through borrowing.  Although we plan to obtain additional financing through the sale of our common stock and by obtaining debt financing, there is no assurance that capital will be available from any source, or, if available, upon terms and conditions acceptable to us.

During the year 2009, we raised $0 in cash from the sale of our securities.  We will ultimately need to produce enough positive cash flows from operations to meet our long-term capital needs.

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures for our U.S. operations.  We anticipate that the following expenditures will be made in 2010 if funds are available: $100,000 for continued development of our automation business; and $250,000 for marketing expenses.

None of these notes were collateralized.  As of December 31, 2009 the total principal amount due on all notes to First National Petroleum is $168,000.

During 2009, a promissory note to Pacific Commercial Credit, Ltd., a company controlled by Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer, was partially paid.  The total principal and interest paid on this note were $2,400 and $1,695 respectively.  The remaining balance on this note is $7,000.  None of the notes to Pacific Commercial Credit were collateralized.  As of December 31, 2009 the total principal amount due on all notes to Pacific Commercial Credit is $85,000.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The financial information required by this item is included as set forth beginning on Page F-1.


ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

The Financial Statements of the Company have been audited by M&K CPAS, PLLC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountant on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.


ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and 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.

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 error or 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.  Due to 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, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended.  Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  We have identified the following material weaknesses.


 
·
As of December 31, 2009, effective controls over the control environment were not maintained.  Specifically, a formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors was not in place.  Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B.  Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 
·
As of December 31, 2009, effective controls over financial statement disclosure were not maintained.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.   Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
 
·
As of December 31, 2009, effective controls over transactions were not maintained.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that contingences were properly reflected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2009 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

We do not have an employment contract with any of our employees.  We provide standard compensation to non-executive employees and a non-defined bonus system based on performance.  We presently intend to negotiate an employment contract with Alex Genin which would require the Board approval; however, no terms have been discussed at this time.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

We presently do not have any employee stock option plan but we may adopt one in the future.  We believe that equity ownership is an important factor in our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel, and our Board of Directors may adopt an employee stock option plan in the future.  The purpose of the stock option program will be to further our interests by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key employees and directors who contribute materially to our success and profitability.  The option grants will recognize and reward outstanding individual performance and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and progress.  This program will also assist us in attracting and retaining key employees and directors.

REPRICING OF OPTIONS
None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
To
the Board of Directors
First Capital International, Inc.
Houston, Texas
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Capital International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of First Capital International, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide 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 First Capital International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that First Capital International will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, First Capital International suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net stockholders’ deficit. These factors and others raise substantial doubt about First Capital International's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might reflect these uncertainties.

FIRST CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

First Capital International, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Ranger/USA, Inc., incorporated as a Delaware Corporation on April 21, 1994 and assumed its current name in August 1998 when new management took over the Company.  At the time new management assumed control, the Company had no existing operations, and began implementation of a new business plan.  Beginning in 1998, the Company’s original focus was the identification, acquisition and operation of businesses serving or focused on Central and Eastern European markets.  Since 2001, the Company has focused its operations on the development of its “smart house” technology and markets for the Company’s new home command center.


Use 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.


Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary VIP Systems, Inc. after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.


Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into two types of sales of VIP Systems: sales to end-users and sales to resellers.  Revenue on sales to end-users is recognized upon completion of installation and testing of the system. Revenue on sales to resellers is recognized upon delivery of systems or for major long-term projects, recognized upon completion of each phase of installation.

The Company recognizes revenues when products have been shipped to a customer pursuant to a purchase order or other contractual arrangement or services have been provided, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured

Payments and advances received for future sales or installation of systems are deferred until the delivery and/or installation is complete. For major long-term projects, revenue is recognized upon completion of each phase of installation.


Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and accounts receivable are the primary financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk.  The Company maintains its cash in banks selected based upon management’s assessment of the bank’s financial stability.  Cash balances are currently maintained in banks primarily in the United States. Cash balances in U.S. banks may periodically exceed the $100,000 federal depository insurance limit.

Accounts receivable arise primarily from transactions with customers in the United States.  The Company performs credit reviews of its customers and provides a reserve for accounts where collectability is uncertain.  Collateral is generally not required for credit granted.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and 2008.


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers.  The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions.  Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice.  No interest is charged on the past due accounts.  Accounts past due more than 90 days are considered delinquent.  Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $3,730 and $0 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.


Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of electronic equipment held for sale.  Inventory is recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.


Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt also approximates fair value since their terms are similar to those in the lending market for comparable loans with comparable risks. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

Inputs used in the valuation to derive fair value are classified based on a fair value hierarchy which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
·
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
 
·
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company 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. The Company 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.


Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions issued by the FASB for share based payment using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value  and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated. The options and warrants are valued using the Black Scholes model.
 
As a result the adoption on January 1, 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of $106,625 and $22,202 for the period ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Net Loss Per Common Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the years. Common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable under The Company's stock compensation plan for its employees and consultants. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted loss per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents during 2009 and 2008.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new revenue recognition standards for arrangements with multiple deliverables, where certain of those deliverables are non-software related. The new standards permit entities to initially use management’s best estimate of selling price to value individual deliverables when those deliverables do not have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value or when third-party evidence is not available. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. These new standards are effective for annual periods ending after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing the Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U. S. GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on changes in the Codification. All content in the Codification carries the same level of authority, and the U.S. GAAP hierarchy was modified to include only two levels of U.S. GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning with the Company’s year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of the Codification affected disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements by eliminating references to previously issued accounting literature, such as SFASs, EITFs and FSPs.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amended standards for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These new standards amend the evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The provisions of the new standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new standards will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and shall be applied to subsequent events not addressed in other applicable generally accepted accounting principles. This guidance, among other things, sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company suffered losses of $219,948 and $383,789 in 2009 and 2008, respectively, has an accumulated deficit of $11,717,385 and a working capital deficit of $1,413,486 and $1,232,989 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance these deficits by selling its common stock.

Fair value of the Company’s stock options was determined based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The following assumptions were used to calculate fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing model for the year ended December 31, 2009: (i) average dividend yield of 0.00%; (ii) expected volatility of 378%;
(iii) expected life of 2 years; and (iv) estimated risk-free interest rate of 1.18%.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.  Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Outstanding stock options expiring July 2010 are exercisable starting May 2010.  A summary of outstanding stock options at December 31, 2009 follows:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.05 and $0.07 per share, respectively.  Total fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $218,696 and $68,904, respectively. Of the 4,240,000 options granted during the year end 2009, 50,000 vest immediately and expire on May 2010, 4,190,000 vest 90 days prior to expiration and expire ranging between 12 months and 36 months thus the compensation expense is recognized over the respective vesting service period. As of December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $106,625 in stock based compensation.

Contingencies

On May 27, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against us by Virage Consulting at the US Southern District Court of New York.  The issue arises from a promissory note with an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares (or 833,334 shares after a 1-for-3 reverse split) of our company for $500,000 by Virage Consulting in 2006 to expire in May, 2007.  However, Virage Consulting decided to exercise its option to convert and purchased the shares.  The shares were issued and delivered to Virage Consulting at their request.  The agreement allowed the investor to dispose of the shares, in part or in full prior to May, 2007.  The proceeds from any such disposal would have reduced the principal balance of $500,000.  We believe the note effectively became null and void when Virage Consulting accepted the shares in April 2006. We have hired an attorney and proceeding accordingly. Currently, the principal balance remains on the books as a current note payable until an outcome can be reasonably determined.
 
On October 8, 2008, J.W. Rogers, an investor, named the Company and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer, parties to a lawsuit filed in the 295th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas alleging impropriety and fraud in a recent stock purchase.  We consider this to be a meritless lawsuit and have filed a motion to remove ourselves from this lawsuit.

On December 19, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against VIP Systems and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer, by Brodson Construction for breach of contract as a sub-contractor for approximately $34,000 including damages.  We consider this to be a frivolous lawsuit and have retained an attorney to counter sue.  The lawsuit is currently in process thus no probable outcome is known at this time. As such, no accrual is recorded at December 31, 2009.

On August 21, 2009, a lawsuit was filed by Carnes Engineering, Inc. against the Company and Alex Genin, our Chief Executive Officer filed in the County Civil Court at Law No. 1 of Harris County, Texas, alleging non-payment for services performed in the Company’s main office amounting to approximately $19,000.  Management intends to settle however the amount is currently in negotiations. Thus, the maximum liability of $19,000 is accrued and included in the total accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance of $110,178 at December 31, 2009.
