NATIONAL AUTOMATION SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: Organization and basis of presentation


          

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of National Automation Services, a Nevada corporation (“Company”), have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the "Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to National Automation Services and, unless the context indicates otherwise its consolidated subsidiaries. Significant accounting policies disclosed therein have not changed except as noted below.


These financial statements have been presented in accordance with the rules governing a smaller reporting company for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.


Business Overview


          

National Automation Services, Inc. is a holding company formed to acquire and operate specialized automation control companies located in the Southwestern United States. Currently, the Company owns 100% of the capital stock of two operating subsidiaries: (1) ISS, a Nevada corporation, based in Henderson, Nevada and (2) Intecon, an Arizona corporation, based in Tempe, Arizona.


We conduct our business and operations through these two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Overall, the Company serves a diverse set of industries which utilize automation systems and controls, including water valley waste and treatment facilities, entertainment, hospitality, mining, medical, and manufacturing.


Since the acquisition of its current operating subsidiaries, the Company has strived to position itself as a leading system integrator and certified Underwriters Laboratories panel fabrication facility. The Company currently focuses on two distinct lines of business: (1) industrial automation and control and (2) automation manufacturing, which comprises the bulk of contracts that the Company currently maintains under its building contracts. The Company’s management runs the company as one unit and does not have two distinct business segments.


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.


Potential Derivative Instruments


We periodically assess our financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares.


We have determined that the conversion features of our debt instruments are not derivative instruments because they are conventional convertible debt.

NATIONAL AUTOMATION SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Revenue Recognition


As required by the Revenue Recognition Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), the Company is required to use predetermined contract methods in determining the current value for revenue.


          

Project Contracts Project revenue is recognized on a progress-basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the specified portion of the agreement, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On progress-basis contracts, revenue is not recognized until this criteria is met. The Company generally seeks progress-based agreements when a job project takes longer than 30 days to complete.


Service Contracts Service revenue is recognized on a completed project basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the services, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On service contracts, revenue is not recognized until the services have been performed. The Company generally seeks service based agreements when project based contracts have been completed.


In all cases, revenue is recognized as earned by the Company. Though contracts may vary between a progress-basis and completed project basis, as the client becomes liable to the Company for services provided, as defined in the agreement, the client is then invoiced and revenue is accordingly recognized and recorded.  The Company does not recognize or record any revenues for which it does not have a legal basis for invoicing or legally collecting.


Stock Based Compensation


Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employee Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. We determine the value of stock issued at the date of grant. We also determine at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.

.

Fair Value Accounting


As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.


The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1

     Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;


Level 2

     Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;


Level 3

     Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).


See Note 8 Fair value, for additional information.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 2: Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance


Adopted


Subsequent events: In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events to alleviate potential conflicts between FASB guidance and SEC requirements. Under this amended guidance, SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and we adopted these new requirements for the period ended September 30, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. These changes remove the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and remove the exception from the application of variable interest accounting to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. We adopted these new requirements as of September 30, 2010, and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


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


NOTE 3: Going concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations and our assets already are pledged to Trafalgar as collateral for our outstanding $3,600,000 (including interest) of indebtedness. The Company has experienced recurring net losses, had a net loss of $(2,024,227) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an accumulated deficit of $(14,984,121) as of nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a working capital deficiency of $(5,655,836) at September 30, 2010.


Based on the above facts, management determined that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


               We continue to seek sources of additional capital. We intend to try to improve our cash and cash flow from operations by encouraging faster payments, and if necessary granting discounts for prompt payment, of our receivables while simultaneously delaying payments to our vendors.  


Also, we plan to increase our revenue by increasing our visibility and the awareness of our Company, and our products and services, by engaging in more aggressive sales, marketing and advertising activity.  We intend to develop and implement strategies to market ongoing maintenance and service contracts to our current as well as our past customers, and we plan to package these continuing services as part of our industrial automation design and manufacturing services. We intend to implement cost reduction synergies such as centralizing procurement and estimating activities at our corporate hub using dedicated teams of trained employees, rather than having these tasks performed at our branch offices.

The notes bear interest at the rate of 20% per year and mature in six (6) months on varying dates starting with May 7, 2010. The notes were convertible into the Company’s common stock at a fixed value of $0.05 per share.


As of September 30, 2010, the Company has converted all of the notes; noted above, totaling $125,000 of the convertible notes at a value of $0.045 per share and issued to these four individuals collectively 2,620,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 7, Stockholders’ deficit).


On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Convertible note agreement with one individual for $50,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 20% per year and matures in six (6) months. The note is convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at a fixed value of $0.05 per share.


On September 21, 2010, the Company entered into a Convertible note agreement with one individual for $5,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 20% per year and matures in six (6) months. The note is convertible into the Company’s restricted common stock at a fixed value of $0.05 per share.


The notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a value of $0.05 per share. We have accounted for the conversion option as a Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) until such time as the note is converted or to the individual maturity dates. The conversion option was valued using the BCF and is calculated at the intrinsic value on the date of grant. The following table represents the BCF on the various notes:

NOTE 6: Deferred financing fees


On April 7, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC (“Ascendiant”), pursuant to which Ascendiant agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time over a 24-month period upon approval of the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement. The Company issued to Ascendiant Capital 1,470,589 share of common stock valued at $125,000 or $0.08 per share as a commitment fee based on the security agreement (see Note 7, Stockholders’ deficit). The commitment fees have been deferred until the terms of the agreement have been met which include the acceptance of the Company’s S-1 registration statement. The Company filed an S-1 on June 24, 2010, amended on June 30, 2010, and amended July 30, 2010. Once the acceptance of the Form S-1 was considered by the SEC the deferred financing fees will be amortized over the life of the agreement indicated at 24 months. As of August 31, 2010, the Form S-1 was withdrawn based upon a decision made by Management (see Note 10: Subsequent Events for additional details).


NOTE 7: Legal


On April 23, 2009, the Company entered into a lawsuit against Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, FIS (“Trafalgar”). The Company is the Plaintiff, charging Trafalgar with usurious lending practices. We noted that the pending litigation is estimatable; however, as the litigation is still in the pre-discovery stages we are not able to indicate the outcome. On July 7, 2009 we received a notice of default from Trafalgar that we have violated the terms of our secured loan and credit facility agreements by failing to make certain payments when due and breaching certain covenants.


The lender has accelerated our outstanding indebtedness, and accordingly it has the right to execute and foreclose on all of our assets, including the stock in our subsidiaries, and/or the personal guarantee executed in favor of the lender by Robert Chance, our CEO.


We reclassified all Trafalgar related debt to current due to the default notice, and have amortized the remaining balance of the deferred financing fees and debt premiums/discounts as of December 31, 2009. The Company has not made any payments to Trafalgar as of March 31, 2010 due to the pending litigation against Trafalgar.


In November 2009 we were served with the complaint Trafalgar filed on October 30, 2009 in the Court against us, our two subsidiaries and Robert Chance, our CEO.  Trafalgar’s complaint seeks repayment of the amounts we allegedly owe under the subject loan and other credit agreements we enter into, plus interest and attorneys fees, and foreclosure on all of our assets (we had pledged such assets as collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement we executed in connection with such agreements).  The complaint also alleges that we fraudulently induced Trafalgar to extend to us the approximately $3 million in total financing we received.  


As noted above, in April 2009 we had filed a complaint in the same Court against Trafalgar, alleging that the subject agreements under which Trafalgar had extended financing to us, and under which it now is suing us, were unenforceable.  We believe Trafalgar’s allegations are without merit.  We mounted a vigorous defense and moved the Court to consolidate these two actions.   The Court entered a scheduling order setting the April 2009 action for the trial docket on November 1, 2010, and a calendar call on October 28, 2010.

A discovery cutoff date was set for July 16, 2010 and July 23, 2010, respectively and dispositive motions in the cases were due August 27, 2010, the extension was a joint request to the Court to amend the discovery and trial schedule for the April 2009 case so that NAS’ claims and Trafalgar’s claims proceed on the same discovery track.


In addition to the indicated cutoff for August 27, 2010, the Company also noted that the court ordered the parties to mediate the case by September 17, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company was still in settlement negotiations with Trafalgar. The Company settled negotiations on March 25, 2011 (see Note 10 Subsequent Events for additional details).


On June 9, 2010, a writ of garnishment was filed against our subsidiary Intecon’s bank account for our outstanding balanced owed to one of our vendors, Summit Electric. Our current outstanding balance owed to Summit Electric is $61,000. This writ was established to collect funds from us by garnishing money in our subsidiaries bank accounts. At the time of the court ordered garnishment the accounts held a balance of $1,200 and have been sent to Summit Electric under the writ. To date we still have an outstanding balance with Summit Electric and are working towards payment to this vendor.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements


When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”  “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act and Section 21e of the Exchange Act regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position.  Persons reviewing this Quarterly Report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual result may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic factors and conditions that may directly or indirectly impact our financial condition or results of operations.


Overview:  


Central to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations is our current cash shortage and our relationship with Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, FIS (“Trafalgar”).  At March 25, 2011, although our accounts receivable were approximately $298,117, our cash on hand was approximately $2,000, and our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations.  Consequently, our reviewed September 30, 2010 financial statements contain, in Footnote 3, an explanatory paragraph to the effect that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to increase our revenue, eliminate our recurring net losses, eliminate our working capital deficit, and realize additional capital; and we can give no assurance that our plans and efforts to do so will be successful (See Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).  Therefore, we require substantial additional funds to finance our business activities on an ongoing basis and to implement our acquisition strategy portraying our company as one able to provide a target company not only with cost savings resulting from centralized estimating, accounting and other corporate functions but also with additional working capital to finance and grow its business.  However, we owe Trafalgar an aggregate of approximately $3,800  ,000 (including interest), the repayment of which is secured by all our existing and after-acquired assets, and which indebtedness currently is in default and was accelerated by Trafalgar on July 7, 2009, and in our December 18, 2008 Credit Agreement with Trafalgar we agreed, among other things, not to issue any additional common stock without its prior written consent and not to incur any new indebtedness or to acquire the assets, business or stock of any company.  In April 2009 we commenced a legal action which seeks a declaratory judgment that the Trafalgar indebtedness violates the usury laws of the State of Florida, whose laws govern the documents, by calling for interest to be paid at a greater rate than is allowed by applicable law, and that due to their usurious nature Trafalgar may not enforce these negative covenants or any other terms of the loan documents.  As of March 25, 2011, the Company has settled its litigation with Trafalgar. For further information see Part II Item 1, Legal Proceedings.  Accordingly, we are seeking additional financing.


Business Development:


We are a Nevada corporation which, through subsidiaries based in Nevada and Arizona, designs, produces, installs and, to a significantly lesser extent, services specialized mechanical and electronic automation systems built to operate and control machinery and processes with a minimum of human intervention.  Historically, we have performed our work on projects located in the Southwestern United States.  Our business plan envisions internal growth combined with expansion through selected acquisitions designed to expand our footprint both geographically into additional states and commercially by increasing our work for industrial, as opposed to municipal, end-users.  


Financial Information


The following tables set forth for the periods indicated selected historical statements of operations data. The information contained in the tables below should be read in conjunction with the “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Financial Commitments” and “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” sections included in this management’s discussion and analysis, as well as the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Operating Loss; Net Loss


For the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended in fiscal 2009, we had a decrease in revenues of $(509,669), or (60)%, and a decrease in our cost of revenue $(455,623), or (63)% (which decreased our gross profit by $(54,046), or (43)%, to $70,327). However, our operating loss decreased by $(76,657), or (15)%, to $(440,292) and our net loss decreased by $(247,334), or (31)%, to $(540,324).  As discussed below, we attribute these decreases in losses to the following:  the $455,623 or 63% decrease in our cost of revenue offset by our loss in revenue, i.e. direct costs; the $274,734 or 97% decrease in our consulting fees. We expect our net loss to continue until such time as we are able to correct our cash flow from existing and new customers in our revenue cycle.


Revenue.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, our consolidated revenue decreased by $(509,669), or (60)%, to $336,430. This decrease principally was due to a decrease in (1) the number of new jobs we received and commenced, and (2) work delays on existing jobs included in our December 31, 2009 backlog of $2,486,992. Due to the downturn of the economy, our customers have delayed projects which decrease revenues for the Company. The Company is currently seeking other projects to increase its revenues.


Cost of Revenue; Gross Profit.  Our cost of revenues decreased by $(455,623) or (63)%. Our cost of revenue is comprised of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other job related costs.  The decrease in our cost of revenue is due to our controls in labor costs and manufacturing overhead, we also saw a down-turn in our cost of revenue due to a decrease in our contract revenue during 2010.


Operating Expenses


Although consolidated operating expenses for the third quarter ended of 2010 decreased by $(130,703), or (21)%, to $510,619, we had an operating loss of $(440,292), compared to the third quarter 2009 operating expenses of $641,322 and operating loss of $(516,949).  The $(76,657) decrease in our operating loss is principally due to the $(274,734), or (97)% decrease in our consulting fees.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $107,926, or 34% to $424,934, due primarily to payroll expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.


Consulting fees.  Our consulting fees, which are attributable to investor relations services, decreased by $(274,734), or (97)%, to $7,630 as we entered into less consulting agreements than in the comparative period of 2009.


Professional Fees and Related Expenses.  Professional fees principally represent costs for legal and accounting fees, these costs increased by $36,105, or 86%, to $78,055, the increased amount of professional fees was incurred in conjunction with litigation fees with Trafalgar.



16





Interest Expense, Net.  Interest expense, net decreased by $(155,727), or (61)%, to $100,032, which represents the interest expense on the Trafalgar debt for the current three month period ending September 30, 2010.  The decrease in interest expense, compared to the same period in 2009 is attributable to the remaining debt premium/discount and deferred financing fees being fully amortized as of fiscal year end December 31, 2009.

Operating Loss; Net Loss


For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended in fiscal 2009, we had a decrease in revenues of $(1,436,815), or (47)%, and a decrease in our cost of revenue $(1,232,341), or (45)% (which decreased our gross profit by $(204,474), or (61)%, to $(129,462)). However, our operating loss decreased by $(449,887), or (22)%, to $(1,623,105) and our net loss decreased by $(867,315), or (30)%, to $(2,024,227).  As discussed below, we attribute losses in our selling, general and administrative expenses. However, our quarterly comparison was helped by the fact that in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we reduced our consulting fees by $(561,517) or (97)%, and our interest expense by $(402,478) or (50)%. We expect our net loss to continue until such time as we are able to correct our cash flow from existing and new customers in our revenue cycle.


Revenue.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our consolidated revenue decreased by $(1,436,815), or (47)%, to $1,647,920. This decrease principally was due to a decrease in (1) the number of new jobs we received and commenced, and (2) work delays on existing jobs included in our December 31, 2009 backlog of $2,486,992. Due to the downturn of the economy, our customers have delayed projects which decrease revenues for the Company. The Company is currently seeking other projects to increase its revenues.


Cost of Revenue; Gross Profit.  Our cost of revenues decreased by $(1,232,341) or (45)%. Our cost of revenue is comprised of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other job related costs.  The decrease in our cost of revenue is due to our controls in labor costs and manufacturing overhead, we also saw a down-turn in our cost of revenue due to a decrease in our contract revenue for the nine months of 2010.


Operating Expenses


Although consolidated operating expenses for the first quarter of 2010 decreased by $(654,361), or (27)%, to $1,752,567, we had an operating loss of $(1,623,105), compared to the nine months ending 2009 operating expenses of $2,406,928 and operating loss of $(2,072,992).  The $(449,887) decrease in our operating loss is principally due to the decrease in our consulting fees by $(516,517) or (97)%.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $(130,685), or (10)%, to $1,137,457, due to the reduction of marketing and health insurance expenses.


Consulting fees.  Our consulting fees, which are attributable to investor relations services, decreased by $(516,517), or (97)%, to $19,075. The Company entered into less consulting agreements in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to 2009.  




17




Professional Fees and Related Expenses.  Professional fees principally represent costs for legal and accounting fees, these costs increased slightly $37,841, or 7% to 596,035, principally because we incurred expenses for legal fees in conjunction with our settlement negotiations with Trafalgar Capital.


Interest Expense, Net.  Interest expense, net decreased by $(402,478), or (50)%, to $401,122, which represents the interest expense on the Trafalgar debt for the current nine month period ending September 30, 2010.  The decrease in interest expense, compared to the same period in 2009 is attributable to the remaining debt premium/discount and deferred financing fees being fully amortized as of fiscal year end December 31, 2009.


Liquidity and Capital Resources/ Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months


The economic downturn has had a severe effect on us.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, our accounts receivable were $204,593, a decrease of $162,505, or 44%, due to a decrease in invoiced revenue, compared to December 31, 2009. At March 25, 2011 our cash on hand was $2,000.  In addition, we have experienced insufficient cash flow resulting from much slower payments from the contractors and others for whom we work.  The Company expects that receipt of payments from our customers will likely continue until such time as the Company can improve its cash flow from operations.


We intend to improve our cash and cash flow from operations by encouraging faster payments, and if necessary granting discounts for prompt payment of our receivables while simultaneously delaying payments to our vendors.  We also hope to increase our revenue by engaging in more aggressive sales, marketing and advertising activity designed to increase our visibility and the awareness of our company, and our products and services.  We intend to develop and implement strategies to market ongoing maintenance and service contracts to our current as well as our past customers, and we plan to package these continuing services as part of our industrial automation design and manufacturing services.  We also intend to implement cost reduction synergies such as centralizing procurement and estimating activities at our corporate office using dedicated teams of trained employees, rather than having these tasks performed at our branch offices. Such centralization in a single location also would provide greater corporate control of pricing while relieving local office engineers and other personnel of those responsibilities and enabling them to devote all of their time to operational activities.  


On April 7, 2010, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC (“Ascendiant”), pursuant to which Ascendiant had agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time over a 24-month period commencing on the effectiveness of a Form S-1, which we filed on June 24, 2010 and subsequently withdrew as of August 31, 2010. The relationship between us and this new funding group was to provide us with additional cash financing for operational and acquisition funding. With the funding available, we had planned on satisfying our then debt outstanding as a result of our operational requirements (i.e. vendors), use the funding to secure additional jobs (i.e. bonds, contractor license fees and software programming), and potentially provide us with the funding to return both the staff and executive management to their regular salary rates (from the March 2009 implementation of the 20% and 50% respective reductions in salary to help with our cash constraints). On March 18, 2011, the Company terminated its agreement with Ascendiant Capital. The Company will not incur any additional fees associated with the cancellation of this agreement. The $125,000 in deferred financing fees will be expensed in the first quarter of 2011, as of the date of cancellation.


Summary of Cash Flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (rounded)


Our total cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $135,500, or 100%, to $135,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Operating Activities


Our total cash used by operating activities decreased by $808,900, or 67% to $(398,100) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(1,207,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is due to a reduction of our net loss in comparison to the same period in 2009. We also noted that in fourth



18




quarter 2009 we accreted the remaining debt premium/discount on all Trafalgar debt, therefore there was no accretion in the current nine months as compared to the same period for 2009.


Investing Activities


Our total cash (used) by investing activities decreased by $14,700, or 100% to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $(14,700) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is due to no current expenditures for additional fixed assets in the current period.


Financing Activities


Our total cash provided for financing activities decreased by $622,000, or 56%, to $491,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $1,113,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We saw a reduction in our sale of stock to investors for capital, and we accreted the remaining deferred financing fees on all Trafalgar debt, therefore there was no accretion in the current nine months as compared to the same period for 2009.


Current Commitments for Expenditures


Our current cash commitments for expenditures are mainly operational and SEC compliance in nature. We seek to use current revenue to pay vendors for materials for contracts, for payroll, and related employment expenditures (i.e. benefits). The remaining cash is used for debt service and to remain current with any SEC filings that are required.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES


The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements and which we discussed above in this Item 2. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe our critical accounting policies are those described below.


Potential Derivative Instruments


We periodically assess our financial and equity instruments to determine if they require derivative accounting. Instruments which may potentially require derivative accounting are conversion features of debt and common stock equivalents in excess of available authorized common shares.


We have determined that the conversion features of our debt instruments are not derivative instruments because they are conventional convertible debt.


Inventories


          

Inventory is stated at the lower cost or market, we use the weighted average cost method which consists of materials for contracted jobs, manufacturing supplies and equipment (small tools which are purchased for specific contracts and the related costs are associated with the contract). We constantly review inventory for obsolescence and write off obsolete items at the time of physical count.


Intangible Assets – Customer lists


           

Based on our branding process, customer lists have a finite life of 3 years as we transition the subsidiary to NAS branding over that timeframe. Total amortization expense on the customer list for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $27,023 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $35,782.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


As required by the Receivables Topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), the Company is required to use a predetermined method in calculating the current value for its bad debt on overall accounts receivable.


We estimate our accounts receivable risks to provide allowances for doubtful accounts accordingly. We believe that our credit risk for accounts receivable is limited because of the way in which we conduct business largely in the areas of contracts. Accounts receivable includes the accrual of work in process for project contracts and field service revenue. We recognize that there is a potential of not being paid in a 12 month period. Our evaluation includes the length of time receivables are past due, adverse situations that may affect a contract’s scope to be paid, and prevailing economic conditions. We assess each and every customer to conclude whether or not remaining balances outstanding need to be placed into allowance and then re-evaluated for write-off. We review all accounts to ensure that all efforts have been exhausted before noting that a customer will not pay for services rendered. The evaluation is inherently subjective and estimates may be revised as more information becomes available.


Revenue Recognition


As required by the Revenue Recognition Topic of FASB ASC, the Company is required to use predetermined contract methods in determining the current value for revenue.


          

Project Contracts Project revenue is recognized on a progress-basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the specified portion of the agreement, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On progress-basis contracts, revenue is not recognized until this criteria is met. The Company generally seeks progress-based agreements when a job project takes longer than 30 days to complete.


Service Contracts Service revenue is recognized on a completed project basis - the Company invoices the client when it has completed the services, thereby, ensuring the client is legally liable to the Company for payment of the invoice. On service contracts, revenue is not recognized until the services have been performed. The Company generally seeks service based agreements when project based contracts have been completed.


In all cases, revenue is recognized as earned by the Company. Though contracts may vary between a progress-basis and completed project basis, as the client becomes liable to the Company for services provided, as defined in the agreement, the client is then invoiced and revenue is accordingly recognized and recorded.  The Company does not recognize or record any revenues for which it does not have a legal basis for invoicing or legally collecting.


Stock Based Compensation


Stock based compensation is accounted for using the Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employee Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. We determine the value of stock issued at the date of grant. We also determine at the date of grant the value of stock at fair market value or the value of services rendered (based on contract or otherwise) whichever is more readily determinable.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President/Secretary, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act).  Based upon that evaluation, our officers



20




concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has been implementing control procedures to mitigate our internal control issues which could have a material impact on our financial reporting procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company has ineffective controls due to the untimely filing of this report. The Company has been working towards clearing ineffective financial reporting controls and disclosures to implement proper internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a- 15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of our financial statements;

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions pertaining to stock issuances are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable GAAP, and that the stock issuances are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company feels that it is working towards clear disclosures and implementing proper internal controls over financial reporting. Our controls have since been updated in order to prevent the issues surrounding our material weakness and management feels that, moving forward, our controls over financial reporting will reduce the potential impact of material misstatements.


This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.


Change in internal control over financial reporting


No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.


We are a defendant in a legal proceeding with an adverse party which has a material interest adverse to us, as set forth below.  


On April 23, 2009, we filed a complaint against Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, FIS and Trafalgar Capital Sarl (collectively, “Trafalgar”) in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida (the “Court”).  Our complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the secured loans we entered into with Trafalgar in July 2008 and December 2008 violate the usury laws of the State of Florida, whose laws govern the loan documents, by calling for interest to be paid at a greater rate of interest than is allowed by applicable law, and that due to their usurious nature the loan documents are not enforceable by Trafalgar.  We also are seeking compensation for the damages we have suffered, the return of all payments we made under those loan documents, the return of all pledged collateral and the release of the security interest we granted in our assets, double the interest we paid, attorneys’ fees and punitive damages.  We are also asking the Court to order that Trafalgar be precluded from enforcing its rights under our March 2008 loan documents until it has made the payments described above regarding the usurious July and December 2008 loans.  Furthermore, in the alternative, we have alleged that Trafalgar breached our December 2008 Credit Agreement by, among other things, conducting daily sweeps of the monies deposited into the lockbox, representing the proceeds of our accounts receivable, and we also are seeking compensatory damages and attorneys’ fee.




21




On July 7, 2009 Trafalgar sent us a notice of default stating we have violated the terms of our debt agreements by failing to make certain payments when due and breaching certain covenants, and it accelerated the due date of all of our outstanding indebtedness, and on October 30, 2009, filed a complaint against us.  In November 2009 we were served with the complaint Trafalgar filed on October 30, 2009 in the Court against us, our two subsidiaries and Robert Chance, our CEO.  Trafalgar’s Complaint seeks repayment of the amounts we allegedly owe under the subject loan and other credit agreements we enter into, plus interest and attorneys fees, and foreclosure on all of our assets (we had pledged such assets as collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement we executed in connection with such agreements).  The Complaint also alleges that we fraudulently induced Trafalgar to extend to us the approximately $3 million in total financing we received.  


As noted above, in April 2009 we had filed a complaint in the same Court against Trafalgar, alleging that the subject agreements under which Trafalgar had extended financing to us, and under which it now is suing us, were unenforceable.  We believe Trafalgar’s allegations are without merit.  We mounted a vigorous defense and moved the Court to consolidate these two actions.   The Court entered a scheduling order for the April 2009 action for a trial docket on November 1, 2010, calendar call on October 28, 2010. A discovery cutoff date was set for July 16, 2010 and July 23, 2010, respectively and dispositive motions in the cases were due August 27, 2010, the extension was a joint request to the Court to amend the discovery and trial schedule for the April 2009 case so that NAS’ claims and Trafalgar’s claims proceed on the same discovery track. In addition to the indicated cutoff for August 27, 2010, the Company also noted that the court ordered the parties to mediate the case by September 17, 2010.  As of March 25, 2011, the Company completed its settlement negotiations and filed an 8-K on March 29, 2011, indicating the settlement of litigation with Trafalgar.


On June 9, 2010, a writ of garnishment was filed against our subsidiary Intecon’s bank account for our outstanding balanced owed to one of our vendors, Summit Electric. Our current outstanding balance owed to Summit Electric is $61,000. This writ was established to collect funds from us by garnishing money in our subsidiaries bank accounts. At the time of the court ordered garnishment the accounts held a balance of $1,200 and have been sent to Summit Electric under the writ. To date we still have an outstanding balance with Summit Electric and are working towards payment to this vendor.


On October 2, 2010, a writ of garnishment was filed against our subsidiary Intecon’s bank account for our outstanding balanced owed to one of our vendors, Border States. Our current outstanding balance owed to Border State is $287,000. This writ was established to collect funds from us by garnishing money in our subsidiaries bank accounts. At the time of the court ordered garnishment the accounts held a balance of $81,000 and have been sent to Border States under the writ. To date we still have an outstanding balance with Border States and are working towards payment to this vendor.


Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


The following is a summary of all transactions involving our current sales of our unregistered equity securities.  Shares issued for cash consideration paid to us are valued at the purchase price per share; all other shares are valued as stated.  All shares issued were issued as “restricted” shares of our common stock except as otherwise expressly stated.
