Overview
We currently operate two distinct lines of business. Through our wholly owned subsidiary Smart-Tek Communications Inc. we operate in the business of design, sale, installation and service of security technology with electronic hardware and software products. Our projects range from residential and commercial developments to system upgrades and monitoring contracts. Customers include major developers, general and electrical contractors, hospitals, Crown Corporations, law enforcement agencies and retail facilities. Currently, 100% of the Companys operations are in Canada. We have a sales and technical installation team with over 50 years of experience specializing in the design, sales, installation and service of CCTV, access control, intercom, security, structured cabling and wireless communication systems.
On June 17, 2009, we determined to add a new line of business providing integrated and cost-effective management solutions in the area of human resources for public and private companies. In connection with the expansion of business operations, we incorporated a subsidiary, Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. (Smart-Tek Automated), a private Nevada corporation through which we operate our new line of business. Since its inception, Smart-Tek Automated Services Inc. has provided services to small and medium-size businesses, relieving its clients from many of the day-to-day tasks that negatively impact their core business operations, such as payroll processing, human resources support, workers' compensation insurance, safety programs, employee benefits, and other administrative and aftermarket services predominantly related to staffing - staff leasing, temporary staffing and co-employment. We intend to continue to expand this new business in the next twelve months.
-7-
Plan of Operation
Short Term
Smart-Tek Communications Inc.: Continue to rely on current relationships as our primary means of marketing the security technology products and services in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Smart-Tek Automated Services Inc.: Continue to concentrate of signing up new brokers who have a large book of business that we can service.
Long Term
Smart-Tek Automated Services Inc.: Our current strategy is to expand our service business, including staff leasing, PEO services, and value added products and services to small and medium-size businesses.
PEO Business Environment
We provide professional employer organization outsourcing (PEO) and human resources services to small and medium-size businesses. These services allow our customers to outsource many human resources tasks, including payroll processing, workers' compensation insurance, employee benefits administration, risk management and human resource administration. These services relieve existing and potential customers of the burdens associated with personnel management and control.
As a human resource department and strategic business partner for our clients, our service offerings allow our clients to:
- comply with ever evolving complex employment related regulatory and tax issues;
- increase productivity by improving employee satisfaction and retention;
- reduce payroll expenses with lower workers' compensation costs; and
- focus on core business activities instead of human resource matters.
Our main business, a co-employment or PEO contract arrangement, we become a co-employer of the client's existing workforce and assume some or all of the client's human resource management responsibilities.
Our business continues to experience some liquidity problems. Accordingly, year-to-year comparisons may be of limited usefulness as our business continues to seek growth.
Our current strategy is to expand our service business, including staff leasing, PEO services, and value added products and services to small and medium-size businesses.
To successfully execute our current strategy, we will need to improve our working capital position. The report of our independent auditors accompanying our September 30, 2008 financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10K includes an explanatory paragraph indicating there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, due primarily to a working capital deficiency and negative net worth. In addition, we are delinquent in our filing of payroll tax returns for certain of our PEO divisions and are delinquent in the payment of payroll tax withholdings. We plan to overcome the circumstances that impact our ability to remain a going concern through a combination of achieving profitability and renegotiating existing obligations. In addition, we continue to work with the Internal Revenue Service and State taxing Authorities to reconcile and resolve all open accounts and issues.
-8-
There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any additional debt or equity financings on favorable terms or at all, or that any such financings, if completed, will be adequate to meet our capital requirements. Any equity or debt financings could result in substantial dilution to our shareholders. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our planned activities, including any potential mergers or acquisitions. Our inability to fund our capital requirements would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
PEO Market Overview
The burdens placed on small and medium-sized employers by the complex legal and regulatory issues related to human resources management caused our industry segment to grow beginning in the 1980's. While various service providers have been available to assist these businesses with specific tasks, companies like ours emerged as providers of a more comprehensive range of services relating to the employer/employee relationship. We assume broad aspects of the employer/employee relationship for our clients. Because we provide employee-related services to a large number of employees, we provide economies of scale that provide our clients employment-related functions more efficiently, provide a greater variety of employee benefits, and devote more attention to human resources management.
We believe that the demand for our services is driven by (1) the trend by small and medium-sized businesses toward outsourcing management tasks outside of core competencies; (2) the difficulty of providing competitive health care and related benefits to attract and retain employees; (3) the increasing costs of health and workers' compensation insurance coverage and workplace safety programs; and (4) complex regulation of labor and employment issues and the related costs of compliance.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $2,500,00 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months.
Cash Used In Operating Activities
We generated cash from operating activities in the amount of $738,665 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3,092 in the comparative period in 2009. Cash from operating activities resulted from the increased revenues from the business of our new Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. subsidiary.
Cash Used In Investing Activities
We used cash in investing activities in the amount of $112,932 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Cash used in investing activities was funded by cash from financing activities. At June 30, 2010 the Company is indebted to a company controlled by the Companys president in the amount of $821,756. The loan is unsecured, bears 7.5% interest and has no fixed terms of repayment. The interest was waived for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Cash from Financing Activities
We used cash of $128,375 from financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $113,742 or 810.8% from the comparative period in 2009. Cash provided by financing activities during the period increased primarily due to an increase in proceeds from officers and directors.
Financing
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Smart-tek Automated Services secured a line of credit for $1,000,000 USD from J.P. Chase Manhattan Bank to facilitate its automatic withdrawals from client accounts as well as for the provision of direct deposit services to its clients.

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net income of $203,080 and cash flow from operations of $738,665 during the year ended June 30, 2010, and had a working capital deficiency of $994,278 and a shareholders deficiency of $438,164. These matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions are presently being taken to revise the Companys operating results. Management believes that the Company will have adequate cash to fund anticipated needs through June 30, 2011 and beyond primarily as a result of our contract backlog. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
Future Financings
Based on the success of the Companys new business line, management feels that its current operations will generate enough liquidity to satisfy its cash requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Subsequent Event
On April 19, 2010, the Company filed a preliminary proxy seeking the shareholders of the Company to vote on the certain proposals. The Proxy was amended and refilled on August on August 20, 2010 to approve the sale of the Companys wholly owned subsidiary Smart-Tek Communications Inc. to its president and founder Perry Law.
The aggregate purchase price of Smart-Tek Communications, Inc. is $821,757 allocated as follows:
(a) |
$821,756 of the purchase price shall be paid and satisfied by setting-off the Companys indebtedness to the Perry Law pursuant to a Loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest there under up to the date that the sale close; and | |
(b) |
$1.00 of the purchase price shall be paid by Perry Law for transferring 32,817 shares owned by him to the Company; and |
On September 15, 2010 the Company received comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission to be cleared before a definitive proxy can be distributed.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition contract business
The Company accounts for its construction projects using the percentage of completion method, measured using the cost-to-cost method. This method of accounting requires a calculation of job profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each contract based upon estimates of future outcomes, which include:
-
Estimates of total cost to complete the contract;
-
Estimates of contract schedule and completion date;
-
Estimates of the percentage the contract is complete; and
-
Amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change orders included in revenue.
At the outset of each contract, a detailed analysis of estimated cost to complete the contract is prepared. Periodically, evaluation of the estimated cost, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level will be performed. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit and loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of contract revenues, change orders and claims, less cost incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the total estimated contract profit times the current percentage of completion for the contract.
When calculating the amount of total profit or loss on a long-term contract, unapproved claims are recorded as revenue when collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapproved claims under the AICPA Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1) Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. The Company is actively engaged in claims negotiations with customers and the success of the claims negotiations have a direct impact on the profit or loss recorded for any long-term contract. On a quarterly basis, significant contracts are reviewed. However, there are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to, weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future earnings. The Company also provides various other services to customers not covered under construction contracts such as equipment repairs. The revenue from the provision of these types of services is recorded once the specific job is complete.
Revenue Recognition PEO business
Revenues are comprised of the Companys charges to clients for workers compensation insurance, administrative, and service fees based on periodic payrolls processed. The Company recognizes revenues when each periodic payroll is delivered to the client. Revenues are reported in accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for reporting revenues gross when acting as a principal versus net as an agent. The Company records revenue on a net basis and does not include the gross payroll of its client company employees in its revenues.
-13-
Insurance Reserves
We maintain reserves for workers' compensation claims which are made up of estimated claims and estimated expenses related to settle the claims. These estimates are impacted by claims that have been reported but not settled and claims that have been incurred but not reported. We evaluate the reserves regularly throughout the year and make adjustments accordingly. If the actual cost of such claims and related expenses exceeds the amounts estimated, additional reserves may be required. Since there are many estimates and assumptions involved in recording insurance reserves, differences between actual future events and prior estimates and assumptions could result in adjustments to these reserves.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the assets estimated fair values with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
Stock-based Compensation
Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 (as modified by SFAS No.48), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Under APB No. 25 compensation expense was recorded based on difference, if any, between the fair value of the Companys stock and the exercise price on the measurement date. The Company accounted for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123, which required entities to recognize as expense over the service period the fair value of all stock based awards on the date of grant and EITF No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Investments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which addressed the measurement date and recognition approach for such transactions.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS No. 123R) a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, SFAS No. 123R superseded APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amended SFAS 95 Statement of Cash Flows SFAS No. 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair-value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
Under this method, the Company began recognizing compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. In addition, the Company now recognizes the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to adoption based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding options and warrants. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005.
The Company had two partially vested stock options outstanding at December 31, 2005 pursuant to employment agreements entered into between the Companys and its president and vice-president. Under these agreements, the Company issued options to purchase up to 650,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share that vest in equal quarterly installments over a three (3) year period. The Company calculated the fair value of the options to be 195,000 using our option pricing model, of which $195,000 was recognized as expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, commencing January 1, 2006, the Company is required to recognize the unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair values previously calculated for disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding stock options and warrants. At March 31, 2010, the value of the unvested options was $Nil.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: The Board of Directors and
Shareholders
Smart-tek Solutions,
Inc. (formerly Royce Biomedical Inc.)
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period since inception (March 22, 1995) to June 30, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but do not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and cash flows for years then ended, and for the period from inception (March 22, 1995) to June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses until the latest fiscal year. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company generated a net income of $203,080 and a cash flow from operations of $738,665 during the year ended June 30, 2010, however a working capital deficiency of $994,278 and a stockholders deficiency of $438,164 at June 30, 2010. It remains to be seen whether this improvement in operating results can continue. There is still substantive doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of operations, basis of financial statement presentation
Smart-tek Solutions Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 1995.
Smart-tek Communications Inc. (SCI) was incorporated on October 29, 1996 in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

Currently, 100% of the Companys operations are in Canada.
In March 2005, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Smart-tek Communications, Inc. (SCI) a British Columbia based security design and installation contractor. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement executed in April 2005. SCI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has ceased all ongoing business relationships with Xili and will direct its efforts to effectively operate and expand in the security sector.
On February 11, 2009, Smart-tek Automated Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada for the purpose of adding a yet to be determined new business line. On June 17, 2010, Brian Bonar was contracted to use his expertise and contacts in the PEO area for the benefit of Smart-tek Automated Services, Inc. Smart-tek Automated Services Inc. provides integrated and cost-effective management solutions in the area of human resources for public and private companies. Though Smart-tek Automated Services Inc., provides mainly professional employer organization (PEO) services, it is equipped to provide temporary staffing services as well. In a PEO co-employment contract, the Company becomes the employer of record for client company employees for tax and insurance purposes. The client company continues to direct the employees day-to-day activities, and Allegiant charges a service fee for providing services.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the following significant accounting policies:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Smart-tek Solutions Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Smart-tek Communications Inc. and Smart-tek Automated Services Inc. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of managements estimates and judgment includes assumptions pertaining to credit. Worthiness of customers, percentage of completion and related costs for contracts in progress, interest rates, useful lives of assets, future cost trends, tax strategies, and other external market and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from estimates and assumptions made.
Cash and equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank deposits. For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this concentration of risk. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any deposits in excess of federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable balances. Under the allowance method, if needed, an estimate of uncollectible customer balances is made based upon specific account balances that are considered uncollectible. Factors used to establish an allowance include the credit quality and payment history of the customer. There is an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2010 of $11,628 (2009 $3,871).
Concentration of credit risk
Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterpart will fail to perform its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk related to its account receivable and contract retention receivable. The Companys receivables are comprised of a number of debtors which minimizes the concentration of credit risk. It is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk associated with its accounts receivable and contract retention receivable.
Equipment
Equipment, including computer equipment under capital lease agreements, is recorded at cost and depreciated using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 5 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-term assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.
Goodwill and intangible assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS 142, intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing the assets estimated fair values with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology.
Income taxes
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, including recognition of deferred tax assets for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement amounts and their respective tax bases. The Company reviews its deferred tax asset for recovery and a valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion of its deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Companys tax provision in the period of change.

Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for its construction projects using the percentage of completion method, measured using the cost-to-cost method. This method of accounting requires a calculation of job profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each contract abased upon estimates of future outcomes, which include:
- Estimates of total cost to complete the contract;
- Estimates of contract schedule and completion date;
- Estimates of the percentage the contract is complete; and
- Amounts of any probable unapproved claims and change orders included in revenue.
At the outset of each contract, a detailed analysis of estimated cost to complete the contract is prepared. Periodically, evaluation of the estimated cost, claims, change orders and percentage of completion at the project level will be performed. The recording of profits and losses on long-term contracts requires an estimate of the total profit and loss over the life of each contract. This estimate requires consideration of contract revenues, change orders and claims, less cost incurred and estimated costs to complete. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Profits are recorded based upon the total estimated contract profit times the current percentage of completion for the contract.
When calculating the amount of total profit or loss on a long-term contract, unapproved claims are recorded as revenue when collection is deemed probable based upon the four criteria for recognizing unapproved claims under the AICPA Statement of Position 81-1 (SOP 81-1) Accounting for Performance of Construction Type and Certain Production Type Contracts. The Company is actively engaged in claims negotiations with customers and the success of the claims negotiations have a direct impact on the profit or loss recorded for any long-term contract. On a quarterly basis, significant contracts are reviewed. However, there are many factors that impact future costs, including but not limited to, weather, inflation, labor and community disruptions, timely availability of materials, productivity and other factors. These factors can affect the accuracy of our estimates and materially impact our future earnings.
The company also provides various other services to customers not covered under construction contracts such as equipment repairs. The revenue from the provision of these types of services is recorded once the specific job is complete.
The Company recognizes professional employment organizations (PEO) revenues when each periodic payroll is delivered to the client. Revenues are reported in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenues Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent. (EITF 99-19). Consistent with its revenue recognition policy, the Companys net PEO revenues and cost of PEO revenues do not include the payroll cost of its worksite employees. Instead, PEO revenues and cost of PEO revenues are comprised of all other costs related to its worksite employees, such as payroll taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers compensation insurance. PEO revenues also include professional service fees, which are primarily computed as a percentage of client payroll or on a per check basis.
In determining the pricing of the markup component of its billings, the Company takes into consideration its estimates of the costs directly associated with its worksite employees, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin. As a result, the Companys operating results are significantly impacted by the Companys ability to accurately estimate, control and manage its direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of the Companys gross billings.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Companys Canadian subsidiarys financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and at average rates for the period for revenues and expenses. Resulting exchange differences are accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Comprehensive (loss) income
Comprehensive income or loss encompasses net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss, which includes all other non-owner transactions and events that change shareholders deficiency. The Companys other comprehensive loss reflects the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments on the translation of the financial statements from the functional currency of Canadian dollars into the reporting currency of U.S. dollars.
Stock-based compensation
Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44 Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation and complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 (as modified by SFAS No.48), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Under APB No.25 compensation expense was recorded based on difference, if any, between the fair value of the Companys stock and the exercise price on the measurement date. The Company accounted for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS No.123, which required entities to recognize as expense over the service period the fair value of all stock based awards on the date of grant and EITF No. 96-18 Accounting for Equity Investments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, which addressed the measurement date and recognition approach for such transactions.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment (SFAS No.123R) a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, SFAS No.123R superseded APB Opinion No.25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amended SFAS 95 Statement of Cash Flows SFAS No 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair-value of the awards. The cost will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
Under this method, the Company began recognizing compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. The pro-forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS No. 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition.
Recovery of long-lived assets
The Company adopted SFAS Statement 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 requires recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts.
Advertising expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred which was $2,497 for the year ended June 30, 2010 (2009 -$1,110).
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SAB No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, the basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to common stock outstanding during the period. Net earnings (loss) per share on a diluted basis is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, fair value measurements are determined by the Company's adoption of authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. The adoption of the authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.
The Company is required to use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.
At December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value because of their short maturity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe the adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements to add new disclosure requirements for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and to provide a gross presentation of the activities within the Level 3 rollforward. The guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to present the Level 3 rollforward on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance was limited to the form and content of disclosures, and will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions
On April 15, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Smart-tek Communications, Inc. (SCI) and with the sole shareholder of SCI to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SCI.
In exchange for the SCI shares, the Company issued to SCIs shareholder, 1,000 common shares and 1 Class A Preferred Share of the Company. The preferred share will enable the holder to exercise the voting control over 40% of the Company upon issuance. The remaining 60% voting control is to be assigned to the outstanding common shares of the Company. Such preferred shares shall not be convertible, exchangeable, transferable or otherwise purchased, conveyed or redeemed at any time while outstanding during a two-year period. In addition, the voting power of such preferred share shall decrease over a two year period so as to have 20% voting control 12 months after issuance, 10% voting control over 18 months after issuance and zero voting control 24 months after issuance at which time the preferred shares will be redeemed for no consideration.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the results of SCIs operations beginning April 16, 2005 are included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition of assets and liabilities has been recorded at their fair market value at the date of purchase. The Company determined that the historical cost of the assets and liabilities acquired approximated their fair market values given the nature of the assets and liabilities acquired. Purchase price allocation was as follows:
Valuation of shares of common stock and preferred stock | $ | 1 | |
Assets acquired | 276,012 | ||
Liabilities assumed | (727,324 | ) | |
451,312 | |||
Goodwill | $ | 451,311 |
3. Contract Retention Receivable
Under the Builders Lien Act (British Columbia), under which the subsidiary SCI operates, for each contract or subcontract a holdback amount is retained by the customer equal to 10% of the greater of:
(a) |
The value of the work or materials as they are actually provided under contract or subcontract, and | |
(b) |
The amount of any payment made on account of the contract or subcontract price. |
On the request of a contractor or subcontractor, the payment certifier must, within 10 days after the date of the request, determine whether the contract or subcontract has been completed and, if the payment certifier determines that it has been completed, the payment certifier must issue a certificate of completion.
If a certificate of completion is issued with respect to a contract or subcontract, the holdback period expires at the end of 55 days after the certificate of completion is issued.
As of June 30, 2010 and June 30 2009, contract retention receivables were $118,804 and $235,196 respectively.

8. Income taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis 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. Deferred income taxes are reported using the liabilities method.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and for carry forwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carry forwards. As of June 30, 2010 the company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ that can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. A valuation allowance of 100% has been established; based on it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax credit will not be realized.
At June 30, 2010, STS had available federal net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $6,818,234. Under Section 382 of the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the use of prior losses including NOLs is subject to rules if a corporation undergoes an ownership change. Future issuances of equity interests by us for acquisitions or the exercise of outstanding options to purchase our capital stock may result in an ownership change that is large enough for a limitation on the use of NOLs to apply. If the limitation applies, we may be unable to use a material portion of its available NOL carry forwards to reduce future taxable income. The income tax effect of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting gives rise to the deferred tax asset at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 as follows:
2010 | 2009 | |||||
Deferred tax asset, beginning | $ | 2,457,460 | $ | 2,409,732 | ||

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Committees of the Board Of Directors
At present, we do not have an audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committee.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
1. |
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; | |
2. |
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); | |
3. |
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or | |
4. |
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We have no audit committee financial expert. We believe that the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our stage of development, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Code Of Ethics
On October 14, 2008 we adopted an amended and restated code of ethics applicable to all of our directors, officers, employees and consultants, which is a code of ethics as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. Our Code of Ethics is attached as an exhibit to this annual report. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or certain other finance executives, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
33
Compensation of Directors
Directors do not receive compensation their duties as a director.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with the exception that Brian Bonar failed to file a Form 3.

Corporate Governance
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. We have determined that Mr. Perry Law is not an independent director and that Brian Bonar is an independent director as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any revenues from operations to date.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and for fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
Year Ended | ||
June 30, 2010 | June 30, 2009 | |
Audit Fees | $12,000 | $10,000 |
Audit Related Fees | $- | $- |
Tax Fees | $- | $- |
All Other Fees | $- | $- |
Total | $12,000 | $10,000 |
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining John Kinross-Kennedy, CPA as our independent auditor.
