UNIVERSAL BIOENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Universal Bioenergy, Inc. (UBRG) f/k/a Palomine Mining, Inc. was incorporated on August 13, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc (“UBNA”), our wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 23, 2007.

UBNA was organized to operate and produce biodiesel fuel using primarily soybean and other vegetable oil and grease in a refining process to yield biodiesel fuel and a marketable byproduct of glycerin. The Company is located in Nettleton, Mississippi. UBNA and UB are hereafter referred to as “(the Company)”.

In October 2007, UBNA entered into a Purchase Agreement with UBRG. In October 2007, UBRG, a then shell corporation, acquired UBNA. On October 24, 2007, the Company changed its name to Universal Bioenergy, Inc. to better reflect its business plan. The purchase was consummated on December 6, 2007.

On March 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from January 31 to December 31. 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN ISSUES
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has net losses for the period from inception (August 13, 2004) to March 31, 2010 of $14,950,332.  Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of certain stockholders.  
 
These factors raise some doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.  In this regard, Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
 
The Company's ability to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, achievement of profitable operations and/or the discovery, exploration, development and sale of mining reserves. The Company cannot reasonably be expected to earn revenue in the exploration stage of operations. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.

NOTE 3 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein and adequate and not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
NOTE 4 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principle of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Bioenergy, Inc. and Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenue includes product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of biodiesel fuel and related byproducts at the time title to the product transfers, the amount is fixed and determinable, evidence of an agreement exists and the customer bears the risk of loss, net of provision for rebates and sales allowances in accordance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had no cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.

The range of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:

Asset Category
 
Depreciation/
Amortization Period
Building
Plant Equipment
Furniture and Fixture
 
40 Years
15 Years
3 Years
Office equipment
 
3 Years
Leasehold improvements
 
5 Years

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective July 1, 2002. In accordance with (“ASC Topic 350”) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill, represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under the purchase method, acquired in business combinations is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination as of the acquisition date. Under this standard, goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized. The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred in accordance with ASC Topic 350. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference. ASC Topic 350 also requires that the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets be estimated and compared to the carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets is less than the carrying value.

 
8

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 365, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were events or changes in circumstances that necessitated an impairment of long lived assets. During 2008, the Company impaired its long lived assets based on the value of the Land, Equipment, and building facility by $1,655,972.  Due to the reduction in valuations in Mississippi of land and building and diminished economic viability of biodiesel production the total valuations of that acquisition has reduced significantly the overall value of the assets to $290,000.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided based on the provisions of ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes", to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740; "Accounting For Uncertainty In Income Taxes-An Interpretation Of ASC Topic 740 ("ASC Topic 740").  ASC Topic 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At March 31, 2010, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs.  The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks located in Irvine, California.  The Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts at each institution up to $250,000.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, because the effects of the additional securities, a result of the net loss would be anti-dilutive.  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt.  The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.  The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

¨
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
¨
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable or the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
¨
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued guidance in the “Subsequent Events” topic of the FASC to provide updates including: (1) requiring the company to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued; (2) amending the glossary of the “Subsequent Events” topic to include the definition of “SEC filer” and exclude the definition of “Public entity”; and (3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance was prospectively effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s results of operations of financial condition.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance became effective for us with the reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for us with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB on business combinations. The guidance retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used for all business combinations, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured as a result of business combinations. It also requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

On July 1, 2009, guidance issued by the FASB those changes the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interests are to be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control are to be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to a non-controlling interest is to be included in net income and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, is to be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in net income. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, we adopted guidance on fair value measurement for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 18, 2008 the Company converted the Notes payables of Lacroix International Holdings, Ltd. in the amount of $1,818,821 of principle and accrued interest for 82,500 preferred Series B shares.

On September 18, 2008 the Company converted the notes payables of Mortenson Financial Ltd. in the amount of $745,991 of principle and accrued interest for 34,000 of preferred Series B shares and converted another note in the amount of $300,000 to 15,850 of preferred Series B Shares.

On September 18, 2008 Mortenson Financial Ltd. converted 1,000,000 common shares to 100,000 of preferred Series B Shares.

The Preferred Series B shares are non-voting.

100,000 shares of Preferred Series A shares were also issued to then management for compensation.  The Preferred Series A shares are voting at the ratio of 300 common shares per one share of preferred. On April 26, 2010, Richard D. Craven surrendered the 100,000 shares of Preferred Series A shares to the Company, after his resignation from his position with the Company.

The Preferred Series B shares are convertible to common shares at a rate to be mutually agreed upon by the Company, Lacroix, and Mortensen.   However, documents provided by former management to the SEC establish that management of Lacroix and Mortensen had tentatively agreed to convert the preferred shares received from the note conversions into common shares at the rate of ten shares of common to one share of preferred.  Additionally, common shares were converted to preferred shares by Mortensen at a 10:1 ratio.  Conversion at the 10:1 rate would result in the issuance of 2,320,800 shares of common stock or 5.6% dilution as of March 31, 2010.  Conversion at an implied market rate ($.06 per share) would result in the issuance of approximately 3,868,000 shares of common stock or 8.9% dilution as of March 31 2010.

On July 9, 2009 the Company sold 25,000 units in a private placement for $25,000 at $1.00 per unit.  The Units are similar to a debenture and act as a debt to the company. The term is for three years, and the Units receive a return of a 30% annual stock dividend and no payments are paid for the reduction of this debt.  After the six month holding period the purchaser has the option to convert part or all of the Units into common stock at an exercise price of 5 cents per share, based on the principal invested.  The note is secured by the general assets of the company including the property at 128 Biodiesel Drive, Nettleton, MS.

For the above convertible notes, pursuant to ASC Topic 470, the Company first reviewed and determined that no beneficial conversion feature existed. The Company then evaluated the convertible notes to determine if there was an embedded conversion option requiring bifurcation under ASC Topic 815 and ASC Topic 815.40. We determined that fair value accounting for an embedded conversion option was required and that a derivative liability would be recorded. The fair value of the conversion option is initially computed at its issuance date, then on subsequent reporting periods, marked-to-market. The change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations. Upon conversion of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and the related fair value is reclassified to equity.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740 which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $14,950,332 which expire in various years through 2028, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.
 
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited on certain circumstances. Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. The impact of any limitations that may be imposed for future issuances of equity securities, including issuances with respect to acquisitions have not been determined.

Its primary focus is selling biodiesel, transportation fuels, energy services and facility energy efficiency retrofits. No assurances can be provided that a definitive agreement will be executed.
 
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT DISCOVERY OF FACTS THAT EXISTED AS OF THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Management has recently become aware that cash and other assets invested in the Company prior to December 31, 2008 may have been received as a result of illegal activities by persons affiliated with certain current and former shareholders, Lacroix International Holdings Ltd. (Lacroix) and Mortensen Financial Ltd. (Mortensen).  See SEC vs. Abellan, et al, (Case 3:08-CV-05502).   Management has also recently become aware that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has subsequently obtained an order of disgorgement pertaining to the assets held by Lacroix and Mortensen which currently include shares of preferred and common stock of the Company.

 
19

 

The risk of disgorgement

The approximate $1 million in cash invested in the Company by Mortensen has been depleted.  Additionally, the approximate $1.6 million value of the dormant biodiesel plant invested by Lacroix, with its unknown but implicit environmental liability, has been impaired to a net value of $290,000.  At the advice of counsel, management believes, lacking definitive proof, it is not likely that the SEC would move to disgorge ownership of the biodiesel plant from the Company.

According to the court filings in SEC vs. Abellan et al, the SEC was not able to obtain the Andorran banking records of Lacroix and Mortensen, and accordingly cannot currently definitively link the funds invested in the Company to the illegal activities of Abellan.  At the advice of counsel, management believes, while it is possible, it is unlikely, that even if the SEC is able to obtain those records, and is able to definitively link those funds to the assets invested in the Company that the SEC would move to disgorge ownership of the biodiesel plant from the Company.  In an attempt to obtain clarification of this, and to provide full and fair disclosure, management requested clarification from SEC staff, who declined to provide clarification or comment.

The risk of rescission

Management has also recently become aware that the stated September 17, 2008 restructuring of debt to preferred shares was transacted subsequent to a September 11, 2008 injunction obtained by the SEC freezing the assets of Lacroix and Mortensen.  The restructuring accordingly may constitute an illegal act.  Current and former management both assert that they did not receive notice of the freeze and were not aware of the freeze at the time of the conversion.

Current management has also recently become aware that former management was contacted by SEC enforcement pertaining to the above related to an informal investigation of another company.  It should be noted that the Company and its then management were not the focus of the informal investigation.  Documents provided by former management to the SEC establish that the discussions between former management, Lacroix and Mortensen began at least two months in advance of the freeze order.

As creditor note holders, Lacroix and Mortensen had preference over equity holders in the event of liquidation.   Additionally, even though the Lacroix note was “secured” by the biodiesel plant, no real or personal property liens were ever filed to perfect the liens.  At the time of the conversion the Company lacked liquidity to pay the principal and interest due on these notes.  The conversion to preferred shares abated the further accrual of interest on the notes.

As preferred shareholders, Lacroix and Mortensen still have preference over common shareholders in the event of liquidation, after satisfaction of the creditors.  While the conversion of these shares to common would eliminate this preference, it could also result in improving the liquidity of these shares, once the restrictive legends are removed, and enable distribution of the shares as discussed below.

At the advice of counsel, management believes it is possible, but unlikely that the SEC would move to rescind the note to preferred conversion transaction which would improve their standing in the event of liquidation, but would dilute the potential of liquidity through the market.  In an attempt to obtain clarification of this, and to provide full and fair disclosure, management requested clarification from SEC staff, who declined to provide clarification or comment.

 
20

 

The risk of dilution

As stated elsewhere, the preferred shares are convertible to common shares at a rate to be mutually agreed upon by the Company, Lacroix, and Mortensen.   However, documents provided by former management to the SEC establish that management of Lacroix and Mortensen had tentatively agreed to convert the preferred shares received from the note conversions into common shares at the rate of ten shares of common to one share of preferred with the final conversion rate to mutually agreed upon by both parties.  Additionally, common shares were converted to preferred shares by Mortensen at a 10:1 ratio.  Conversion at the 10:1 rate would result in the issuance of 2,320,800 shares of common stock or 5.4% dilution as of March 31, 2010.  Conversion at an implied market rate ($.05 per share) would result in the issuance of approximately 4,641,600 shares of common stock or 10.3% dilution as of March 31, 2010.

Current management has advised the stock transfer agent to freeze the preferred and common shares of Lacroix and Mortensen held in name or in street name, preventing their further conversion to cash.  The Board of Directors of the Company has also frozen the option to convert the preferred shares to common.  Counsel has advised management that such conversion of preferred shares to common could constitute a further violation of the asset freeze.  In an attempt to obtain clarification of this, and to provide full and fair disclosure, management requested clarification from SEC staff, who declined to provide clarification or comment.

In consideration of the above, management asserts that they will not convert the preferred shares to common without the explicit consent of the SEC.  Additionally, management is contemplating, under the authority of the SEC disgorgement order, seeking permission of the SEC to convert the preferred shares to common in the least dilutive fashion discussed above (10:1) and distribute those shares and other common shares owned by Lacroix and Mortensen to the shareholders harmed by Abellan.

The docket currently shows the status of the Abellan case as “terminated”, leaving Company counsel to believe that further action by the SEC against the Company is possible but unlikely.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets, market demand,  technological developments, maintenance of relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of software licenses and recurring revenue. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
 
In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Our new strategic direction is to develop and market a diverse product line of alternative energy products including, natural gas, solar, biofuels, wind, wave, tidal, and green technology products.   We also intend to provide energy and facilities services to government and commercial customers for facilities retrofits, modifications, lighting systems, building control systems and related energy saving technologies.

We plan to continue our growth by means of mergers and acquisitions of other companies in the alternative energy and related industries, and to acquire patents and license technologies to fully exploit in the marketplace. We are adapting our business strategy to become a more vertically integrated company, to give us greater management control over our supply chain, from the producer, through marketing, distribution, and directly to the customer. We believe this will bring greater revenues for the company and more value to our shareholders.

We are currently targeting natural gas producers, to obtain natural gas and other fuels directly from the wellhead, and solar energy companies for polymer based thin film solar cells that will produce greater energy conversion efficiencies, with less cost than silicon based photovoltaic cells.

Recent Developments

NDR Energy Group LLC.  As part plans for growth, on April 12, 2010, we acquired a 49% stake in NDR Energy Group LLC, located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

NDR markets energy and fuel commodities such as natural gas, and transportation of petroleum fuels.  The management of NDR reported to us, that they sold $60 - $70 million in energy and fuel in 2009.  The revenues have not been verified and there are no assurances that such revenues will result in 2010.  The management of NDR intends to expand, in coordination with our company, into biofuels, solar, alternative fuels, and commercial energy efficiency conversion projects, and retrofits. NDR Energy currently has firm contracts signed with 22 major utility companies nationwide. Some of the customers it  has agreements with include, Southern California Gas Company, Pacific Gas & Electric, Baltimore Gas & Electric, Memphis Light Gas & Water, Duke (Ohio & Kentucky), Southern Company, Michigan Consolidated, Entergy (Texas and Gulf States),  and the National Grid, the largest power producer in New York State. Some of the suppliers it has contracts with are Chevron Texaco, Chesapeake Energy Marketing, Conoco Phillips, Total and Anadarko.

Our plans in coordination with NDR Energy Group are to maximize the sales value of our utility contracts. As part of our new business model, we believe, this acquisition should provide us  with distribution channels for marketing natural gas, biofuels, alternative fuels, solar, and green energy products to these and potential new customers.
 
Roblex Aviation, Inc. On January 6, 2010, we executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Roblex Aviation, Inc. (“Roblex”) of Carolina, Puerto Rico, upon which UBE would acquire all of Roblex. The terms and conditions of the acquisition are still being negotiated, and will be determined in the definitive agreement. No assurances can be provided that a definitive agreement will be executed. To date, the definitive agreement remains in negotiation stages.
 
Based solely on our preliminary due diligence,  Roblex is a 13 year old air cargo company that has grown to be a noted leader in air cargo in the Puerto Rican and Caribbean Islands. It has principal routes to the Dominican Republic and US and British Virgin Islands with significant potential for growth and expansion. Roblex has over 40 employees and flies principally out of two locations, San Juan and Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Roblex’s major clients include the United States Postal Service, Amerijet, and others as well as on-demand cargo services.

Norcor Technologies Corporation.  On July 28, 2010 the Company signed a Letter of Intent to acquire Norcor Technologies Corporation, an energy, technology and facilities services company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Norcor Technologies, provides a broad range of products and services which are primarily for use in the Health Care industry, Military Facilities, and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Its primary focus is selling biodiesel, transportation fuels, energy services and facility energy efficiency retrofits. No assurances can be provided that a definitive agreement will be executed.

History of Universal Bioenergy North America

Our subsidiary, Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. is a development stage Nevada corporation formed on January 23, 2007 which was acquired by our company in December 2007, for the purpose of operating a biodiesel plant in Nettleton, Mississippi to produce biodiesel fuel and a marketable byproduct of glycerin. The biodiesel plant was acquired by Universal Bioenergy North America out of a bankruptcy action. We do not expect to generate any revenue unless and until the plant is completely operational or other revenue generating merger/acquisition (M&A) candidate is located, purchase negotiated, and closed. As of the date of this report, we have not manufactured any biodiesel fuel but are negotiating with potential M&A candidates. Presently, UBNA’s plant is non-operational and the company is seeking new acquisitions in the alternative energy industry.

The economic viability of most biodiesel producers, including us, is dependent on the biodiesel fuel tax credit.  The tax credit was allowed to expire on December 31, 2009, causing widespread layoffs in the biodiesel industry since the credit is needed by most producers to remain economically viable.  The Senate voted on March 10, 2010 to restore the credit.  Restoration of the credit required reconciliation and signature of President Obama which did not occur before the Augus summer recess.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009

Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. is a developmental stage company and operating subsidiary of the Company. The Company has generated no revenues as Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc. was not in production as of March 31, 2010 and will continue to accrue operating losses until sufficient production levels can be reached to meet all liabilities.

The Company has never generated any revenues.  Our future revenue plan is uncertain and is dependent on our ability to effectively refine our products, generate sales, and obtain contract feedstock opportunities or merge or acquire companies presently generating revenues. There are no assurances of the ability of our company to begin refining feedstock or identifying, negotiating, and successfully closing mergers or acquisition candidates. The cost of modifying our refinery is cost intensive as is merging or acquiring other business entities, so it is critical for us to raise appropriate capital to implement our business plan. We incurred losses of approximately $172,872 and $153,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Our losses since our inception through March 31, 2010 amount to $14,950,332.

Part of these losses and need for impairment as determined by management is due in part to a decrease in value of assets related to the economic downturn in the local area and in the commercial real estate marketplace. Management believes that there has been a 30% or greater reduction in the value of real property at the Nettleton, MS plant site due to these conditions. There is no guarantee that such asset reduction will be recouped as economic conditions improve.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes, we are in the development stage with limited resources, used cash in operations of $872,570 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $844,323 and have an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $14,950,332 this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Debt

Convertible Debt

On July 9, 2009, we sold 25,000 units in a private placement for $25,000 at $1.00 per unit.  The Units are similar to a debenture and act as a debt to the company. The term is for three years, and the Units receive a return of a 30% annual stock dividend and no payments are paid for the reduction of this debt.  After the six month holding period the purchaser has the option to convert part or all of the Units into common stock at an exercise price of 5 cents per share, based on the principal invested.  The note is secured by the general assets of the company including the property at 128 Biodiesel Drive, Nettleton, MS.

On November 23, 2009, we sold 22,500 units in a private placement for $22,500 at $1.00 per unit.  The Units are similar to a debenture and act as a debt to the company. The term is for three years, and the Units receive a return of a 30% annual stock dividend and no payments are paid for the reduction of this debt.  After the six month holding period the purchaser has the option to convert part or all of the Units into common stock at an exercise price of 5 cents per share, based on the principal invested. The note is secured by the general assets of the company including the property at 128 Biodiesel Drive, Nettleton, MS.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not hold any derivative instruments that engage in any hedging activities. Most of our activity is in the development stage of our refining of feedstock.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During the Quarter ended March 31, 2010, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s concern was the filing of our 2007 Form 10K/A on September 9, 2009 by James Michael Ator the former CFO, without Board of Directors approval and without approval from our independent auditors. The other area of concern was the proper internal signature by the Board of Directors for all filings that are issued. The Company’s former management further did not properly record the acquisition of UBNA as the purchase method of accounting and recorded it as a reverse merger and recapitalization. The acquisition was less than 51% and should have been recorded as the purchase method of accounting.

The Company’s Richard Craven the former CEO was also involved with the Mortenson and LaCroix transactions as described in Note 12 to the financial statements. Although former management asserts they had no knowledge of the Abellan scheme or the freeze order, in the best interest of the Company they resigned, surrendered the preferred A shares, and have no further affiliation with the Company.  Due to the size of our Company and the costs associated to remediate these issues, we still consider these concerns to be extremely relevant.
 
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

ITEM 1A - Risk Factors

Risk Factors
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with the other information contained in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, and in prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  If any of the risks factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our common stock could decline. We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the prior reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933 and include or reiterate the following risk factors:
 
Risk Factors Related to Our Business

The Company Has No Revenues Which Make It Difficult To Forecast Our Future Results.
As a result of having no sales or revenues, it is impossible to predict the Company's future performance or the period of time in which it can sustain its existence.

 
27

 

As we have had no operating history as a producer of biodiesel, investors have no basis to evaluate our ability to operate profitably.

The Company has a limited operating history as the company was formed in August 13, 2004 and its operating subsidiary, Universal Bioenergy North America, Inc., was formed in January 2007. The Company has not earned any revenues in our contemplated biodiesel business. Accordingly, it may be difficult for investors to evaluate its business prospects.

The Company’s business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan, including our ability to make agreements with suppliers, customers, and with respect to future investments. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will ultimately be successful or result in revenues or profits.

Moreover, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by an early-stage company and in rapidly evolving markets, such as other alternative energy and biofuels markets, where supply and demand may change significantly in a short amount of time.
If we cannot successfully address these risks, our contemplated business and the results of our contemplated operations and financial position would suffer potentially to the point where the company may need to cease operations.
  
We May Not Have Access To Sufficient Capital To Pursue Our Business And Therefore Would Be Unable To Achieve Our Planned Future Growth.
 
We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of the Company business and technology.  Currently we have limited capital which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth.  Our ability to implement our growth plans will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing.  We are currently seeking additional capital.  Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.  Our failure to obtain additional capital will have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may be adversely affected by environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and liabilities.

 As we pursue our business plan, we will become subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the air, water and ground, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and the health and safety of our employees. In addition, some of these laws and regulations require our suppliers and our contemplated distribution facilities to operate under permits that are subject to renewal or modification. These laws, regulations and permits can often require expensive pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. A violation of these laws and regulations or permit conditions can have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risk Factors Related to Our Stock

Because We Are Quoted On The OTCBB “Pink Sheets” Instead Of An Exchange Or National Quotation System, Our Investors May Have A Tougher Time Selling Their Stock Or Experience Negative Volatility On The Market Price Of Our Stock.

Our common stock is traded on the OTCBB “Pink Sheets”. The OTCBB “Pink Sheets” is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB “Pink Sheetsas compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

Our Common Stock Is Subject To Penny Stock Regulation

Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Also Limit A Stockholder's Ability To Buy And Sell Our Stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We May Not Have Access To Sufficient Capital To Pursue Our Business And Therefore Would Be Unable To Achieve Our Planned Future Growth.

We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of the Company business and technology.  Currently we have limited capital which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth.  Our ability to implement our growth plans will depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing.  We are currently seeking additional capital.  Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us.  Our failure to obtain additional capital will have a material adverse effect on our business.

Nevada  Law And Our Articles Of Incorporation Protect Our Directors From Certain Types Of Lawsuits, Which Could Make It Difficult For Us To Recover Damages From Them In The Event Of A Lawsuit.
 
Nevada law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
 
The Notes to Our Financial Statements Contain Explanatory Language That Some Doubt Exists About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern

Our financial statements contain explanatory language that some doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The notes discloses that we are in the development stage with limited resources, used cash in operations of $872,570 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $844,323 and have an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $14,950,232. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The failure to raise additional capital and implement its business plan could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, the result of which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
 
We Do Not Intend To Pay Dividends
 
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are rapid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management team.
 
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR PLANNED.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

There were no sales of unregistered upon senior securities during the period ended March 31, 2010. Except for the Company issued 750,000 shares of common stock to its prior CFO for extinguishment of his employment contract and Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to a consultant and expensed $18,000.  The offer and sale of such shares of our common stock were effected in reliance on the exemptions for sales of securities not involving a public offering, as set forth in Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based on the following: (a) the investors confirmed to us that they were “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and had such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities; (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering; (c) the investors were provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to our company; (d) the investors acknowledged that all securities being purchased were “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act; and (e) a legend was placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequent registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
