ITEM 1:

BUSINESS


Business Development, History and Organization


Overview


National Automation Services, Inc. (referred to herein as “NAS” or the “Company) is 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.  (We first entered this business in October 2007 through our reverse merger with Intuitive System Solutions, Inc., (“ISS”) as described below.)  In fiscal 2010 and 2009, approximately 65% of our revenues have been derived from the sale of our automation control systems and control panels for use by municipalities in operating their water reservoirs and waste water treatment facilities, a field in which we have developed considerable expertise, although we also have sold our products for industrial applications primarily in mining and manufacturing.  We typically are hired by one of the electrical sub-contractors working on the particular project.  


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.  For example, in December 2007 we expanded from our base in Nevada into Arizona as a result of our acquisition of Intecon, Inc (“Intecon”).


Our telephone number for our executive offices is (877) 871-6400. Our corporate website is www.nasautomation.com; however, the information contained on, or that can be accessed through, that website is not a part of this annual report.


Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “NASV.QB”.


Organizational History


We were originally incorporated on January 27, 1997 in Nevada under the name E-Biz Solutions, Inc., and on March 27, 1998, we changed our name to Jaws Technologies, Inc.  On July 7, 2000, we reincorporated in Delaware, and on September 29, 2000 we changed our name to Jawz Inc.  On March 6, 2007, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form 15-12G voluntarily terminating the registration of our common stock and our reporting obligations under federal securities laws.  On June 13, 2007, we changed our name to Ponderosa Lumber, Inc.  As Ponderosa Lumber, Inc., we were a public “shell” company with nominal assets and no operations, and our sole objective was to identify, evaluate, and acquire an operating business which wanted to become a publicly held entity.  On June 25, 2007, we reincorporated as a Colorado corporation under the name Timeshare Rescue, Inc. On October 2, 2007, we changed our name to National Automation Services, Inc. in connection with our reverse merger with an operating entity named Intuitive System Solutions, Inc., as described below.  On December 28, 2007, we reincorporated as a Nevada corporation under the name National Automation Services, Inc. On August 6, 2009, we filed our Form 10, under SEC a form which would reinstate our public reporting obligations under federal securities laws. The Form 10 had an effective registration date 60 days after submission on October 6, 2009 and was cleared of SEC’s limited comments as of March 8, 2010.

Plan of Operation


For the next 12 months we intend to focus our efforts on implementing the following business strategy:


Settlement of All pending Litigation and Outstanding Secured Indebtedness to Trafalgar.  


On March 25, 2011, NAS, together with Intecon, Inc., and Intuitive Systems Solutions, Inc., have settled all pending litigation and mutually agreed to end and drop all claims between NAS and Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, Luxembourg, Trafalgar Capital Sarl, Trafalgar Capital Advisors (collectively, "Trafalgar") regarding all debt, equity and financing agreements and any and all existing liens, covenants, conditions and encumbrances between National Automation Services, Inc. and Trafalgar Capital. Under the terms of the settlement, effective March 2011, NAS will remove all Trafalgar debt from its books and all liens on its assets shall be released in consideration for a payment of $300,000 dollars in cash, a promissory note for $200,000 dollars and approximately seven million shares of restricted NAS stock to Trafalgar Capital. Per the terms of the agreement, the UCC-1 filings against the Company’s asset’s will be lifted in ninety one (91) days after settlement, so long as NAS does not declare bankruptcy during such ninety one day period.  (For additional information, see also Item 1A, Risk Factors – Continuation as Going Concern; We Need Substantial Additional Capital.)  


Raise Additional Capital.  


We currently have a cash shortage, and our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations, primarily due to our past encumbered litigation with Trafalgar Capital which was settled on March 25, 2011.  Consequently, our audited financial statements contain, in Note 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 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data).  Therefore, we require 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.  Accordingly, we intend to seek additional financing.  Any additional funding sought would likely result in a material and substantial dilution of the equity interests of our current shareholders and could potentially, scale back or terminate our acquisition efforts as well as our own business activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the company and its viability and prospects.  (See also Item 1A, Risk Factors – Continuation as Going Concern; We Need Substantial Additional Capital; and Operating Losses, Layoffs and Cutbacks.)


Improve Existing Operations.


Our operating results have been unsatisfactory.  We had a working capital deficit of $(6,278,876) at December 31, 2010. We also have experienced recurring losses.  Although in each of the following periods our revenues have increased over the corresponding period in the prior year, our revenues for 2010 decreased due primarily to our encumbrance with Trafalgar and the inability to service our customers. For the fiscal year end December 31, 2010, we had an operating loss of $(2,306,574) and a net loss of $(2,888,633); and for the year ended December 31, 2009, we had an operating loss of $(3,125,188), and a net loss of $(4,887,646).  In addition, as a result of insufficient cash flow we had to lay-off 50% of our operations staff and impose a temporary 20% salary reduction on our employees and a temporary 50% salary reduction on our senior management, and at April 14, 2011 our cash on hand, most of which was obtained from recent private placements of our common stock, was a negligible $2,700. On September 30, 2010, we were forced to reduce operations in our Nevada subsidiary, and lay-off the remaining staff. We have since consolidated operations for Nevada to our Arizona subsidiary for the interim period until we can assess the Nevada market.


We are working to improve the existing operations by removing the burdens and obstacles that we believe are impeding our operations. With Trafalgar litigation settled we intend to expand our operations while carefully managing our overhead to attempt to increase revenue and improve cash flow. Our plan is to increase our revenue by increasing our visibility and the awareness of our company, and our products and services, by hiring sales persons in Arizona and California and engaging our estimating department in actively calling on potential clients. In general, we will strive to engage in more aggressive sales, marketing, and advertising activity.  We intend to further 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 commit to further implemented cost reduction synergies such as centralizing procurement and estimating activities at our corporate hub using dedicated teams of trained employees. We feel ultimately that having these tasks performed at our branch offices could provide reduced overall overhead and greater corporate control of pricing. To increase revenue and cash flow position, we intend to begin our acquisition strategy, and plan to acquire companies which support our overall corporate structure (See Effect Strategic Acquisitions).



4





Effect Strategic Acquisitions.


We intend to expand our operations into other markets in the continental United States and to reduce our concentration in municipal water management/waste water treatment by acquiring select small to medium sized privately-held automation companies which principally perform work for industrial applications.


We use the following principal criteria to evaluate acquisition opportunities:


·

Established businesses with a proven track record: We seek established businesses with a proven operating track record strong financial performance, positive operating results, established or growing contract backlogs, and/or the potential for positive operating cash flow.  We consider the experience and skill of management and whether other talented personnel exist within the company or the local market.

·

Opportunity for growth of our industrial business: We look for businesses with an established base of industrial end users, to provide us an opportunity to increase our diversification outside of the water treatment/wastewater jobs which we have had such a large concentration of our business in the past.

·

Opportunity to expand into new geographical markets: We seek businesses that have an established presence in local metropolitan markets in which we have no presence and which preferably are near our existing regional footprint.  We also examine the likelihood of the target being able to obtain water treatment/wastewater jobs based on our existing expertise, as well as our ability to obtain new business in our pre-existing markets by promoting the target company’s industry-specific experience and expertise.


The criteria identified above are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objectives. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination that does not meet any or all of these criteria if we believe that it has the potential to create significant stockholder value.


We intend to effect our acquisitions by structuring the transaction to require us to pay the purchase price principally by issuing shares of our common stock to the owners of the target company.  If cash is required, we intend to use cash on hand and, if our cash resources are insufficient, either to draw down on our existing, or to seek to obtain new, credit facilities or to raise cash in private offerings of debt or equity securities.  


Director Qualifications and Board of Directors Role


Our Company’s Board of Director qualifications, to date, have been members of the ownership of our Company. As owners of the Company who now sit on the board, their fundamental role has been to guide the Company’s success in its current operations, to oversee the management and executive levels of the Company and to ensure that the Company complies with the rules and regulations of a public or traded company. Management has traditionally had a broad discretion to adjust the application and allocation of our cash and other resources as they are also a part of the ownership and Board of Directors team. With the effective status of our registration statement, the Company has started implementing “key” business concepts and fundamental strategies in order to further “separate” the Board functions from those of management. Our primary goal is to have our Corporate Governance rules and regulations implemented to start these strategies. The Board of Directors role in the next six to twelve months will move from its existing blend of management and direct dependence on ownership to one of independence set forth in our Governance charter as noted on our website and other disclosed documentation. These principals also adhere to the Company’s code of conduct (ethics) which is also noted on the Company’s website and exhibited hereto on this annual filing.


Acquisitions Effected


Intuitive System Solutions, Inc.


To implement our desire to discontinue our status as a public “shell”, on October 2, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Intuitive System Solutions, Inc. (“ISS”), a Nevada corporation headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, which was formed on April 30, 2001 and engages in the business of designing, producing, installing specialized mechanical and electric automation systems built to operate and control machinery and processes with a minimum of human interaction.  To acquire ISS we issued an aggregate of 39,999,999 shares of our common stock, which shares represented approximately 99.6% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis.  (For accounting purposes this acquisition has been treated as a reverse merger, with ISS as the acquirer; and therefore our historical financial statements prior to October 2, 2007 are those of ISS.)  Accordingly, pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Plan of Reorganization Agreement among us, ISS,

Messrs. Jody R. Hanley (“Hanley”), Robert W. Chance (“Chance”) and Manuel Ruiz (“Ruiz”) (collectively, the “ISS Owners”), TBeck Capital, Inc. (“TBeck”), a Florida corporation, and 3 JP Inc., a California corporation, we issued to the ISS Owners an aggregate of 21,999,999 “restricted” shares of our common stock as follows:  Hanley: 7,333,333 shares; Chance: 7,333,333 shares; and Ruiz: 7,333,333 shares.  Messrs. Chance, Ruiz and Hanley, who now control our Board of Directors and are our senior Management, also executed a lockup agreement in which each agreed not to sell any of the 7,333,333 shares he received in that transaction for two years, other than in a private sales transaction approved in advance by Ronald Williams (the President of T-Beck, who died in March 2009) or Joseph Pardo, the President of 3 JP.  After the closing, we relocated our executive offices to the offices of ISS in Henderson, Nevada.  


In addition, we issued to T-Beck and its designees an aggregate 18,000,000 shares because T-Beck (1) was the owner, in escrow, of 1,126,745 shares of ISS common stock issued in consideration for T-Beck having paid to ISS an aggregate of $506,000 in cash and agreeing verbally to pay to ISS after the closing an additional $244,000 in cash to be used for working capital, and (2) allegedly paid the $250,000 required to effectuate the transaction.  (T-Beck never executed a promissory note to memorialize this future funding obligation, and it never paid us or ISS the promised $244,000.)  In addition, T-Beck and its President Ronald Williams had advised ISS and Messrs. Chance, Hanley and Ruiz that being acquired by NAS, despite its deregistration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), would be the best route to take ISS public while also providing financing to ISS. Of these 18,000,000 shares, 4,000,000 were “restricted” shares and were issued as follows:  3 JP Inc. – 1,975,000 shares; Stingray Investments, Inc. – 1,975,000 shares; and Hoss Capital – 50,000 shares; and 14,000,000 were “free trading” shares issued pursuant to an opinion of counsel relying upon the exemptions from registration available under Rule 504 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under the securities laws of the State of Texas, as follows: T-Beck – 2,000,000 shares; Victoria Financial Consultants, LLC – 2,000,000 shares; Warren Street Investments, Inc. – 1,000,000 shares; BGW Enterprises, Inc. – 1,898,147 shares; Blake Williams – 1,101,853 shares; South Bay Capital, Inc. – 3,000,000 shares; and Michelle Rice – 3,000,000 shares.  We now believe that Stingray Investments, T-Beck and Warren Street Investments were affiliates of Ronald Williams (Ronald Williams was the President of T-Beck, and he died in March 2009); BGW Enterprises and Victoria Financial Consultants were affiliates of Blake Williams, the adult son of Ronald Williams; and South Bay Capital was an affiliate of 3 JP, and that both were affiliates of Joseph Pardo.  Accordingly, Ronald Williams, Blake Williams and Joseph Pardo all may be deemed to have become promoters as of the closing of the ISS reverse merger (see Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Promoters and Certain Control Persons).  


After giving effect to the ISS transaction, we had issued and outstanding 40,125,181 shares of common stock, which were owned as follows:  Messrs. Hanley, Chance and Ruiz owned 21,999,999 shares, representing approximately 54.8%, or 7,333,333 shares each, representing approximately 18.3% each; T-Beck and its designees owned 18,000,000 shares, representing approximately 44.9% (including (a) 4,975,000 shares, representing approximately 12.4%, owned by persons we now believe were affiliates of Joseph Pardo, (b) 4,975,000 shares, representing approximately 12.4%, owned by T-Beck and other persons we now believe were affiliates of Ronald Williams and (c) 4,000,000 shares, representing approximately 10%, owned by Blake Williams and persons we now believe were his affiliates); and the public owned 125,082 shares, representing approximately 0.3%.  


Intecon, Inc.


On December 26, 2007, we acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Intecon, Inc. (“Intecon”), an Arizona corporation headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, which conducts an automation control systems business similar to ours except that Intecon specializes in water management/wastewater treatment projects awarded by municipalities.  Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among us, Brandon A. Spiker (“Spiker”), David Marlow (“Marlow”) and Frank Brown (“Brown”), we issued an aggregate of 300,000 “restricted” shares of our common stock (valued at $42,000), and paid an aggregate of $300,000 in cash when we paid the unsecured 60-day, 5% Promissory Notes we issued at the closing to the sellers, as follows: Spiker: 120,000 shares and a $120,000 Note; Marlow: 90,000 shares and a $90,000 Note; and Brown: 90,000 shares and a $90,000 Note.  In addition, we agreed to pay up to $150,000 (we actually paid $250,000) of Intecon’s outstanding indebtedness the repayment of which had been guaranteed by Spiker and Marlow.  On March 25, 2008, as part of the overall Intecon acquisition, we issued an additional 1,500,000 “restricted” shares of common stock, valued as of the December 26, 2007 acquisition date at $210,000, to each of Messrs. Spiker and Marlow as a retention bonus in consideration for him entering into an employment agreement with Intecon expiring on December 31, 2010.  (For more information about such employment agreements, see Item 11 – Executive Compensation.)

Our Business  


Principal Services


General


As described above, through subsidiaries we have acquired beginning in October 2007, we design, produce and install and, to a lesser extent, service mechanical and electronic automation systems built to operate and control machinery and processes with a minimum of human intervention. Our systems can also provide precise data acquisition capabilities that permit the end user to monitor its operations. We provide our automation control systems services principally in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada.  Typically we are hired by one of the contractors or electrical sub-contractors working on the project because we submitted the lowest bid, but in some cases we obtain work through a contract negotiation.  


In both 2010 and 2009, we derived approximately 65% of our revenues from the sale of our automated control systems or components for use by municipalities in operating their water reservoirs and waste water treatment facilities, a field in which we have developed considerable expertise.  The balance of our revenue comes from customers primarily in mining and manufacturing.  We also have been retained to provide automated control systems or components for use in industrial applications such as oil and gas refining and distribution, food and beverage production, metals processing, and tire manufacturing, among others. We provide ongoing support services, including staff training, plant operations support and network management, web-based plant monitoring, software revisions and upgrades, system maintenance services, and system emergency support, although in each of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, our revenues from performing these services accounted for approximately 10% and 5% our revenues, respectively.


Our project services, such as system or instrumentation design; software development, infrastructure development, system simulation and testing, and system startup are specifically tailored to the unique requirements of each contract we obtain. At the outset of a typical job, we develop detailed task descriptions and checklists to define project requirements and provide engineers and support personnel with an accurate basis for planning. We implement an internal quality control program which is directed toward compliance with technical, local, state and federal design, construction, safety, and environmental codes. Project requirements and approval milestones are specifically determined and discussed with the hiring contractor and, where possible, the project owner so that they may be incorporated into the system plan from the outset. Once project expectations are determined, our engineers design a customized automation control system, using industry-standard design tools such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Promis-E, and AutoCAD.


When the system design is complete, our equipment specialists implement the plan, which may include installing new equipment and systems, electronics and controls upgrades, rebuilding existing machinery or other existing equipment, and process upgrades and improvements. We design and program the supervisory controls and data acquisition (“SCADA”) interface, which can consist of one or more of the following components:


·

The Programmable Logic Controller (“PLC”), which is an industrial grade computer that can act as a supervisory system or as a sub-controller to the supervisory system.  It gathers data on the operation of the particular process and sends commands to the field control devices (such as valves and pumps).  PLCs are designed to process digital data from multiple input and output sources while withstanding extended temperature ranges, electrical noise, vibration and impact.

·

The Human-Machine Interface (“HMI”), the apparatus which presents, on a computer screen depicting the equipment and devices being controlled, process data to the human operator who monitors and controls the process.  We create intuitive, easy to use machine interfaces designed to minimize human error and provide clear alarms and other information that ease troubleshooting if problems do arise.

·

The Remote Terminal Unit (“RTU”), which is a computer-controlled electronic device that can send digital data to a PLC or supervisory system and also manipulate physical processes based on either HMI input or data provided by sensors or a PLC. RTUs can be designed to wirelessly transfer data using a system of radio telemetry or when a hard-wired RTU is impractical.


In our Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) certified control panel fabrication facility in Tempe, Arizona, we design and produce, according to electrical and other specifications issued by UL, the control panels that connect and operate the SCADA interface network.  We are equipped to manufacture a variety of control panels, including UL-508 standard control panels, which can be built either to the specifications of our end user or based on an application-specific design created by our engineers. Virtually every panel we produce is custom-designed for the field functions it is to control, and it is rare to have two



7





identical panels from project to project and end user to end user. These panels may be incorporated into system design projects for which our services have been retained, or on occasion we may sell them to original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) clients who then will incorporate our panels into the manufacture of their own systems and products.


A Typical Project – From Concept to Operational Control Panels


We are currently working on the Glendale Oasis Zone 4 Ground Water Treatment Plant and Well Sites project for The City of Glendale, Arizona The project includes the automation of six well sites and one fully automated state-of-the-art treatment facility.  The facilities were implemented to reclaim used water and clean it in such cases as to not only satisfy the EPA standards but also remove the impurities or the reclaimed water for other uses.  This is a construction manager at risk project. NAS was chosen for award of this project based on our reputation and completeness of our Scope of Work proposal.  NAS was hired to design and install control panels and field instrumentation to automate the ground water treatment system.


Our first task in implementing the project was to assemble a project team.  The team consisted of a project manager, project engineer, field installation manager, and technicians.  The project team first developed field instrument specifications, control panel specifications, electrical loop drawings, and operations and maintenance manuals for the consulting engineering firm to review. Once approved, our procurement department sourced all the components required for the job.  Once the components were located and ordered, we began fabrication of the PLCs and control panels according to project drawings.  When the components are delivered and installed, we ship the completed control panels to the field. Our field installation manager coordinates the control panel installation with the other contractors working on the project: the field technicians install all components devices; the electrical contractor wires all PLCs, HMIs, and other components; and the technicians and project engineer conducts field calibrations and start-up.  


Our project manager has overseen all phases of the project and attended project coordination meetings with the client and its contractors. Once the project is finished, these facilities can run 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with minimal human intervention.


Customers; Contracts; Concentration; Seasonality


Our customer base consists primarily of contractors and electrical subcontractors who have been awarded projects requiring the installation of automation controls systems. Our business depends principally on our being awarded projects by those contractors or subcontractors through a competitive bidding process, although a relatively small number of jobs are obtained through negotiation.  As for 2010 and 2009 approximately 65% of our projects have involved water reservoir management and waste water treatment facilities operated by municipalities, although we also have been retained by contractors and subcontractors to provide automated control systems or components for use in industrial applications.


Typically, the material terms of our fixed-price contracts are: (1) progress based, (2) invoicing terms, (3) deadlines for submittals, (4) wage rates and (5) start time.  For time and material contracts, our material terms involve:  (a) the start/end date and (b) price quotes for materials and percentage of labor allocated for the job.  


Our business does not experience seasonal fluctuations.


Our Market


The automation/control industry in the United States has been approximated to exceed over $500 billion in revenues per year. The automation industry is segmented, consisting of automation control and system divisions in companies that expand over various markets (Aerospace, Robotics, Transportation, Process, Security, Automotive, etc.). We estimate, based on various external sources, the total automation/control market consists of over 21,000 publically and privately held companies operating both domestically and internationally.


Historically we have viewed and confined our marketplace, for the most part, to the Southwestern United States; specifically in Arizona and Nevada. The main industries served have been water/wastewater, mining, and light manufacturing.


We are also looking to provide automation into new vertical markets such as security, machine building, on Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM’s”), and Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”) industries. Since August of 2009 we have looked to California for organic growth in our current markets of water/wastewater, mining, and light manufacturing but also expanding into new markets available in California such as food processing, oil and gas, and automation of shipping ports. California has an abundant amount of OEM’s that can use our contract manufacturing skills and



8





engineering know-how at the competitive rates of Arizona and Nevada. Additionally since 2001, the Security Industry Market has also been growing at our sea ports, airports, and on our borders, making this another market that is highly profitable allowing us to capitalize on industry demands.


Our focus in 2011 and beyond, will be to expand our market via inorganic growth mainly through Mergers and Acquisitions into other regions of the United States, solidifying our position as a leading System Integrator and becoming the provider of choice for a wider range of industries and territories served, allowing for the growth and sustainability in unpredictable market trends.


Competitive Business Conditions; Competitive Position; Methods of Competition


 Competition


The automation control industry is intensely competitive.  A few large automation control companies, such as Emerson Electric Company, Rockwell Automation, Inc. and Honeywell International, Inc., dominate the industry as they offer national as well as worldwide support for the corporate and government clients they serve. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, and virtually all have greater name recognition, larger customer and end user bases and significantly greater financial, technical and sales and marketing resources than we do.  As noted above, 65% of our revenue is derived from water management/waste water treatment jobs awarded by municipalities in the Southwestern United States.  Our most significant competitor for this market niche is Fluid IQs Inc. (formerly known as Control Manufacturing Company), which is based in Napa, California, with regional offices in Arizona, Nevada, New York, Southern California and Utah, and is a subsidiary of Glenmore Global Solutions.  Fluid IQs, which has been in business for 28 years, states on its website that it is one of a very select number of certified system integrators listed by Control System Integrators (“CSIA”); certified member status with the CSIA is achieved by meeting stringent performance standards, as measured in an intensive audit process conducted by an independent third-party consulting firm, in general management, financial management, project management, quality management, technical management, human resources, and business development; and certified members are re-audited every three years to the current performance standards.  


As discussed above, our contracts typically are awarded on a competitive bid basis. Unlike Fluid IQs, our company is not a certified systems integrator listed by CSIA, and we do not consider this to be a material competitive disadvantage. While our competitive position varies, we believe we are progressing to be a significant competitor in the markets we serve principally as a result of our design capabilities and the total equipment life cycle we provide, our ability to meet the delivery schedule, and also because of our reputation, experience and safety record.


Backlog


Our backlog represents contracts that we have started or have been awarded, but which have not been completed or signed, respectively, and it excludes the portion of orders already included in revenue on the basis of percentage of completion.  Our backlog as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $400,000 and $2,486,992 respectively. Our backlog generally runs off within 12 months from the date of contract signing.


Since projects take several months to complete, we generally show a large backlog of work as new projects begin. As the projects are completed, backlog is realized.  During fiscal 2010 we realized $1,758,494 (71%) of the backlog existing at December 31, 2009; and at fiscal 2009, we realized $1,753,645 (75%) of the backlog existing at December 31, 2008. A small portion of unrealized backlog reflects project contracts that involve extended or ongoing service that will be realized when the service is provided or completed.


Raw Materials and Components


We do not purchase any raw materials. We do purchase components used to manufacture our control panels, on an as-needed basis after we are retained for a project and after we assess the components that will be needed for that particular project.  


We order components from third-party distributors and manufacturers, including General Electric, Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley division, Siemens Energy & Automation, Schneider Electric’s Modicon division, Wonderware, Intellution and Walters Electric. These components are off-the-shelf items and are available from multiple sources, and our need for particular components depends on the requirements of a particular project; however, where we can do so we order components from those manufacturers and distributors who we believe will give us notice of new projects on which we would



9





have an opportunity to a bid or otherwise obtain work.  We integrate these components into our control panels, using the software that is provided with these components or, where applicable, we program the software to operate within the specific SCADA interface we designed. We have a high concentration of purchases from a single supplier or limited numbers of suppliers in the automation industry; however, even if one of these suppliers was to go out of business we would be able to obtain supplies and materials from other vendors in such a manner as to be minimally affected.


Environmental Matters


We are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations (“laws”), the field of environmental regulation can change rapidly with the enactment or enhancement of laws and stepped up enforcement of these laws, either of which could require us to change or discontinue our control panel manufacturing activities.  At present, we are not involved in any material environmental matters and are not aware of any material environmental matters threatened against us.


Proprietary Rights


We do not own or license any patents or trademarks, and we have no immediate plans to do so. We have not filed, and do not intend to file, any application with any government agency for protection or registration of these rights. We rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights.


Distribution Methods of our Service


Sales, Marketing and Advertising


We typically get business by biding for projects, and in order to learn of the existence of contracts for which we might be interested in bidding we monitor the public forums where municipalities post the water management/waste water treatment projects for which they are seeking bids and where industrial projects are listed.    


We usually must be pre-qualified by the municipality or company who is the end user.  When we find a suitable project we submit our pre-qualification packages and once our qualification have been established we submit our best price in bid form.


We also generate direct sales by utilizing our sales specialists to contact electrical contractors in a position to hire us for projects they have been awarded. Before qualifying a sales specialist, management in our local offices requires that such sales specialists have at least five years’ industry experience, proficient knowledge in controls and instrumentation in a variety of vertical markets such as water management/wastewater treatment and food and beverage production, a college degree and good communication skills.


We also seek and receive referrals of job opportunities from the automation hardware and software manufacturers and distributors whose products we purchase, including but not limited to Siemens Energy & Automation, General Electric, Rockwell Automation’s Allen-Bradley division, Schneider Electric’s Modicon division, Wonderware, Intellution and Walter Electric.  


We currently advertise nationwide in automation controls systems trade journals and in local publications in Nevada and Arizona. We plan to advertise in national publications such as Control Engineering, Automation.com. WEFTEC, and Construction Notebook, which is a public bid repository publication, and to attend trade shows to increase our visibility and attract new customers.


We have also developed a “Brand Standards Manual” to help with the implementation and use of logos, letterhead and other products that seek to brand all our subsidiary companies under the name “National Automation Services, Inc.”


Number of employees


As of April 14, 2011, we had 15 employees, all of which are full-time, including two electrical engineers, three control engineers, two estimating engineers, two sales engineers, one technicians, one project managers, and four support staff (accounting, office clerical, marketing).

Reports to Security Holders


You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the SEC at their internet site www.sec.gov.


ITEM 1A:

RISK FACTORS

 

In any business venture, there are substantial risks specific to the particular enterprise which cannot be ascertained until a potential acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate has been specifically identified; however, at a minimum, our present and proposed business operations will be highly speculative, and will be subject to the same types of risks inherent in any new or unproven venture, and will include those types of risk factors outlined below, among others that cannot now be determined.


Risks Relating To Our Business


Continuation as a Going Concern


Our auditors' report on our audited December 31, 2010 financial statements, and Note 3 to such financial statements, reflect the fact that with the current economic environment extending collections of our receivables and our inability to obtain additional financing, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. The unavailability of additional financing could require us to delay, scale back or terminate our acquisition efforts as well as our own business activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the company and its viability and prospects.  As noted above, 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 also 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.  However, we can give no assurance that these plans and efforts will be successful.


We Need Substantial Additional Capital  


We have experienced recurring net losses, including net losses of $(2,888,633) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and $(4,887,646) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and we had an accumulated deficit of $(15,848,527) at December 31, 2010.  Although at December 31, 2010, we had accounts receivable of $307,622, our receivables are being paid slower 60 to 90 days after invoice and currently we have a severe cash shortage, with approximately $2,700 of cash on hand at April 14, 2011. At December 31, 2010, we had approx. $160,000 in receivables which will be paid directly to our vendors once the customer initiates payment. We will not receive these funds directly, but will reduce our obligations once we have been informed that payment has been made. Our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations.  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.  


Operating Losses, Layoffs and Cutbacks


There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability in the near term, over the long term, or ever.  Although in each of the following periods our revenues have increased over the corresponding period in the prior year we cannot give any assurance that our revenues will continue to do so. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we had an operating loss of $(2,306,574) and a net loss of $(2,888,633); for the year ended December 31, 2009, we had an operating loss of $(3,125,188) and a net loss of $(4,887,646).  In addition, as a result of insufficient cash flow, we were forced to lay-off 50% of our operations staff and impose a temporary 20% salary reduction on our employees and a temporary 50% salary reduction on our senior management, although we have paid such cash reductions in shares of our common stock through March  2011. On September 30, 2010, we were forced to reduce operations in our Nevada subsidiary, lay-off the remaining staff in our Nevada subsidiary, and transfer projects to our Arizona operations until such time as we can assess the Nevada market. As of April 14, 2011 our cash on hand was only approximately $2,700. Our business and growth strategies may never be successful, and we may never be profitable.  




11





Fluctuations in Operating Results


We expect quarterly and annual operating results to fluctuate, depending primarily on the following factors:


·

Timely payment of our accounts receivable;

·

Our ability to obtain new business;

·

Our ability to generate significantly greater revenues than we have been able to generate to date, and to have revenues in such amount as to be able to satisfy our  operational overhead, which now is not being met;

·

Our ability to reduce selling, general and administrative cash expenses,

particularly payroll compensation, by issuing stock to alleviate cash constraints, especially considering that our planned expansion by acquisition of other companies will result in increases in operating expenses, including, without limitation, as a result of the employment contracts we seek to enter into with the former owners of these companies;

·

The cost of components used for the production of control panels; and

·

The cost of attracting and hiring qualified employees.


Risks of Expansion by Acquisition


Our business strategy depends in large part on our ability to identify and acquire suitable companies, to expand our current expertise into the markets of our acquired companies, and to capitalize on the expertise of these companies to obtain new business in our current markets.  Delays or failures in acquiring new companies would materially and adversely affect our planned growth.


The success of this proposed strategy will depend on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:


·

securing any required approvals from our lender(s) and others;

·

our ability to effectively integrate an acquired company, including its information systems and personnel;

·

our ability to retain the services of the key employees of the acquired company;

·

availability of additional qualified operating personnel;

·

necessary or unavoidable increases in wages, or unanticipated operating costs;

·

the possibility of unforeseen events affecting the region particularly in which an acquired company operates;

·

adverse effects on existing business relationships resulting from the performance of an acquired company; and

·

diversion of management’s attention from operating our business.


The acquisition transactions may also result in the following:


·

issuance of additional stock that would further dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership;

·

incurring debt;

·

assumption of unknown or contingent liabilities; or

·

negative effects on reported operating results from acquisition-related charges and

·

amortization of acquired technology, goodwill and other intangibles.


Therefore, our business strategy may not have the desired result, and notwithstanding effecting numerous acquisitions we still may be unable to achieve profitability or, if profitability should be achieved, to sustain it.


Impairment of Goodwill and/or Intangible Assets May Occur


Goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of other companies and other intangible assets represented a significant portion of our assets. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets of $0 and $36,034, respectively. We review these assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If we were to determine that a significant



12





impairment in value of our goodwill or unamortized intangible assets had occurred, we would be required to write off a substantial portion of such assets, which would negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition, and it could adversely impact our stock price.


Management of Growth


Our strategy anticipates significant growth in the diversity of our operations and in our business, which would place demands on our management and our limited financial and other resources.  To manage any such growth, we would be required to attract and train additional qualified managerial, engineering, technical, marketing and financial personnel. If we are unable to effectively manage any such growth, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.


Dependence on Qualified Professionals


Our business depends on our ability to hire and retain engineers and technicians with highly specialized skills and experience. Many engineers and technicians obtain post-graduate or professional degrees, and the increased educational time required at the post-graduate level further restricts the pool of engineers and technicians available for employment.  Our success also depends in large part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, marketing and sales personnel.  We compete for all such personnel with other automation companies.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in hiring or retaining such qualified personnel. If we are not able to hire and retain qualified people to fill these positions, our competitive position would be adversely affected, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Backlog Not Indicative of Future Results


Our backlog consists of contracts that we have received but not yet signed or started, and projects we have started but which have not been completed. We cannot guarantee the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized, or if realized, that it will generate profits.


Contractors, subcontractors or end users may cancel or delay a project for reasons beyond our control. The majority of our contracts allow for a cancellation under certain terms and conditions. In the event of a project cancellation, we generally would be reimbursed for our costs, but typically we would have no contractual right to the total revenue expected from any such project as reflected in our backlog. In addition, projects may remain in our backlog for extended periods of time. The current credit and economic environment could significantly impact the financial condition of some end users, resulting in greater risk of delay or cancellation of projects. If we were to experience significant cancellations or delays of projects in our backlog, our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.


Collection Uncertainties on Accounts Receivable


We are paid as the work we perform on a project progresses toward completion. The current credit and economic environment has significantly impacted the ability of our contractors to pay amounts due to us, or the ability of end users to pay our contractors, in a timely manner. Although we have had nominal increases in our reserve for doubtful accounts, payments of our accounts receivable have slowed, and our collections currently are averaging 60 to 90 days after billing. Additionally, on a majority of our jobs we are required to advance the funds to purchase components or other materials prior to our receipt of an interim progress payment. If we do so, and the project is terminated or our contract is cancelled, we may have difficulty recovering those expenditures from our contractor, subcontractor, or end user. If a contractor, subcontractor or end user becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy protection, the amount recoverable may be less than the amount owed to us, in which case the project could generate a loss instead of a gross profit for us.  To try to minimize these collection risks, when we receive a contract we place a lien against the project in order to obtain collateral security for the payments of our receivables; however, we might not have a first priority position, and the value of the collateral could be insufficient to satisfy all lien creditors, which would limit the amount of our recovery.  Although on most of the jobs we receive our contractors or subcontractors are required to post a bond to secure the payments to which we become entitled as a result of the services we perform, there can be no assurance that we will be able to collect from the bonding company.  







13





Fixed-Price Contracts


Approximately 90% of our revenues, including larger engineered systems projects, are performed under fixed-price contracts.  We are responsible for all cost overruns, other than those resulting from customer-approved change orders and certain force majeure (natural disaster) situations. Our actual costs may exceed, and gross profit realized may be less than, the estimates derived from our contract prices, for various reasons, including, for example, errors in estimates or bidding; changes in availability and cost of labor and component parts; and reduced productivity. These variations and the risks inherent in engineered systems projects may result in reduced profitability or losses. Depending on the size of a project, variations from estimated contract performance could have a significant negative impact on our operating results and our financial condition.


The following table represents the amounts of our revenues which are generated by each of fixed-price and time and materials contacts, and the percentage of our revenues attributable to these contract types:

Typically, the material terms of our fixed-price contracts are: (1) progress based, (2) invoicing terms, (3) deadlines for submittals, (4) wage rates and (5) start time.  For time and material contracts, our material terms involve:  (a) the start/end date and (b) price quotes for materials and percentage of labor allocated for the job.  


Revenue from Contracts Realized over Several Months


Our revenues are substantially derived from significant contracts that typically are performed over periods of two to four quarters. As a result, our revenue and cash flow may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, depending upon our ability to replace existing contracts with new orders and the extent of the delays, if any, which we may encounter in performing our contacts.


Liability for Product Warranties


We typically warrant the workmanship and materials used in the equipment and systems we manufacture and install. Failure of the system or equipment to operate properly or to meet specifications may increase our costs by requiring additional engineering resources, replacement of parts or equipment, or service or monetary reimbursement to the end user. To the extent we are unable to make a corresponding warranty claim against the manufacturer of the subject component or software we purchased and installed.


Competition


We face a variety of competitive challenges from other automation companies, many of whom have greater financial and marketing resources than we do and may be able to adapt to changes in consumer preferences or retail requirements more quickly, devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products or adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.


Contracts for our products and services are generally awarded on a competitive basis. Historically, our markets have been very competitive in terms of the number of suppliers providing alternative products and technologies. The most important factors considered by our customers in awarding contracts include price, the availability and capabilities of our equipment, our ability to meet the project schedule, our reputation and name recognition, our experience and our safety record. If our competitors can overshadow us in these respects, or possess industry certifications (such as a “control system integrator” as awarded by the CSIA, a certification we do not have) we may be at a disadvantage when bidding on a project, and our operating results could suffer.


Control by Management; Anti-Takeover Considerations


Our company is effectively controlled by Management, specifically Messrs. Robert W. Chance, Jody R. Hanley, Manuel Ruiz, Brandon Spiker, David Marlow, and Jeremy Briggs (“Management”), who collectively own approximately 24% (as of April 14, 2011) of our outstanding common stock.  While we intend to pursue our business strategy as set forth herein,



14





Management has broad discretion to adjust the application and allocation of our cash and other resources, whether in order to address changed circumstances and opportunities or otherwise.  As a result of such discretion, our success is substantially dependent upon their judgment.  In addition, Management is able to elect our board of directors and to cause the directors to declare or refrain from declaring dividends, to increase our authorized capital, to authorize one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights holders of our common stock, issue additional shares of capital stock and generally to direct our affairs and the use of all funds available to us.  Any such preferred stock also could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.  Any issuance of common or preferred stock could substantially dilute the percentage ownership of the company held by our current stockholders.  Such concentration of ownership may have the additional effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the company. Also, this controlling interest may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party investors.


Dependence on Management


Our success is dependent upon the active participation of our Management.  We have entered into employment agreements (i) with Mr. Chance, for an initial two-year term which expired February 14, 2009, and such agreements now are in their successive automatic one-year renewal periods, and each employee may elect not to renew his contract on notice given to us at least 30 days before the renewal date, (ii) with Mr. Marlow which expire on December 31, 2010, such agreements now are in their successive renewal periods and each employee may elect not to renew his contract on notice given to us at least 30 days before the renewal date, and (iii) with Mr. Spiker as of February 28, 2011, the Company reduced his full-time status to part-time status until such time as our cash constraints and operations can be corrected. In addition, we do not maintain any "key man" insurance on any of their lives.  In the event we should lose the services of any of their people, our business would suffer materially.  There can be no assurance that we would be able to employ qualified person(s) on acceptable terms to replace them.


Dependence on Leases of Space and Manufacturing Equipment and Space


All of our offices and other facilities now are, and hereafter likely will be, leased from third parties. These leases are for fixed terms or month-to-month, and the fixed term leases contain limited renewal options with escalating or fair market renewal clauses. There can be no assurance that these leases can be continued or renewed or, if they are renewed, that the renewals can be obtained at lease rates that permit our facilities to be operated at a profit. Relocation of these facilities would likely be costly, and such expenses could limit our profitability.


Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers


Our manufacturing processes require that we buy a high volume of components from third party suppliers. Our reliance on these suppliers involves certain risks, including:


·

The cost of these items might increase, for reasons such as inflation and increases in the price of the precious metals, if any, or other internal parts used to make such items, which could cause our costs to complete a job to exceed the estimate we used to create our bid;

·

Poor quality could adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our control panels; and

·

A shortage of components could adversely affect our manufacturing efficiencies and delivery capabilities, which could prevent us from obtaining, or hinder our ability to obtain, new business, which could jeopardize our ability to comply with the requirements of our contracts.


Any of these uncertainties also could adversely affect our business reputation and otherwise impair our profitability and ability to compete.


Sensitivity to Economic and Other Trends in the Southwestern United States


Our operations will be limited by the conditions and trends in the areas in which we operate, and currently we only conduct business in the southwestern United Sates, particularly in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.  As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse trends and economic conditions in this area, including its economic and labor markets. In addition, because we purchase components from suppliers located throughout the United States, other regional occurrences such as local strikes, energy shortages or increases in energy prices, droughts, hurricanes, fires or other natural disasters, as well as general economic trends and credit conditions, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.



15





Risks Related to Our Industry in General


Exposure to Product and Professional Liability Claims


In the ordinary course of our business, we may be subject to product and professional liability claims alleging that products we sold or services that we provided failed or had adverse effects. We maintain liability insurance at a level which we believe to be adequate. A successful claim in excess of the policy limits of the liability insurance could materially adversely affect our business. As a user of products manufactured by others, we believe we may have recourse against the manufacturer in the event of a product liability claim. There can be no assurance, however, that recourse against a manufacturer would be successful, or that any manufacturer will maintain adequate insurance or otherwise be able to pay such liability.


Government Regulation - Environmental Cleanup Costs


In our control panel fabrication operations, we generate and manage hazardous wastes. These include: waste solvents; waste paint; waste oil; wash-down wastes; and sandblasting wastes. We take appropriate steps to identify and address environmental issues before acquiring manufacturing space or facilities and to use industry-accepted operating and disposal practices regarding the management and disposal of hazardous wastes. Nevertheless, we or others may have released hazardous materials on such properties or in other locations where hazardous wastes have been taken for disposal. We may be required by federal, state or local environmental laws to remove hazardous wastes or to remediate sites where they have been released. We could also be subjected to civil and criminal penalties for violations of those laws. Our costs to comply with these laws may adversely affect our earnings.

UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS


None


ITEM 2:

PROPERTIES


We do not own any real property.  We lease all our space either on a month-to-month basis or pursuant to written operating lease agreements.


Since January 1, 2004, our ISS subsidiary has leased approximately 3,500 square feet of office space located in Henderson, Nevada, from a non-related third party for $3,100 per month.  The Company restructured the lease to reflect a month-to-month lease on January 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has cancelled its lease located in Henderson, Nevada.


Since January 2006 our Intecon subsidiary has occupied a leased 9,176 square feet of office and warehousing space located in Tempe, Arizona, from a non-related third party, and is on a month-to-month basis at a rate of approx $6,500 per month.


On September 1, 2008, Intecon has also leased approximately 195 square feet of sales office space located in Tucson, Arizona, on a month-to-month basis from a non-related third party for $500 per month.


On February 10, 2009, we leased from a non-related third party our 1,600 square foot corporate offices located in Henderson, Nevada, for a term of three years commencing March 1, 2009 with a base annual rent of $31,620 with a 4% annual increase.  On April 1, 2010, the Company amended the above operating lease agreement for our corporate offices located in Henderson, Nevada. The operating lease runs from April 1, 2010 for thirty-one months (31) to October 31, 2012 with a non-related third party with a base annual rent of $59,400 with no annual increase for (24) twenty four months after the 24 month period; the increase to rent is 4.63%. As of February 28, 2011, we have cancelled our lease for our Corporate Offices and are actively searching for other office space.

ITEM 3:

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We were 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 sought 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 sought a 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 also asked 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 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 sought for compensatory damages and attorneys’ fee.


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 sought 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 alleged 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 March 25, 2011, the Company signed a settlement agreement with Trafalgar whereby the above noted pending litigation between both parties was settled out of court. The terms of the agreement dismissed all litigation against Trafalgar, to settle all debt owed to Trafalgar, the dismissal of all litigation against NAS and its subsidiaries and certain directors as well as the release of all liens and encumbrances on NAS assets in the UCC-1 filings held by Trafalgar. The following is the terms of settlement with Trafalgar: (i) a payment of $300,000 was paid on March 25, 2011 per the terms of the agreement; (ii) an executed promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 payable within 6 months from the settlement date of March 25, 2011, and accruing interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) simple interest per annum;  (iii) a total of 7,645,821 shares of NAS common stock shares issued to the Trafalgar on April 6, 2011; (iv) NAS shall provide to Trafalgar a Rule 144 opinion letter in the form acceptable to the both parties, if necessary and/or applicable; and (v) an exchange of mutual unconditional and irrevocable general releases and dismissals of all claims, disputes, liens, encumbrances, defenses between the parties through the settlement agreement date of March 25, 2011. Per the terms of the agreement, the UCC-1 filings against the Company’s asset’s will be lifted in ninety one (91) days after settlement, so long as NAS does not declare bankruptcy during such ninety one day period.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


National Automation Services, Inc. under regulation S-K qualifies as a small reporting company and is not required to provide information required by this item.



ITEM 7:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements


When used in this Annual 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 Annual 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.


Executive Overview


Overview:  


Central to an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations is our current cash shortage.  At April 14, 2011, although our accounts receivable were approximately $260,000, our cash on hand was approximately $2,700, and our operating revenues are insufficient to fund our operations.  Consequently, our audited December 31, 2010 financial statements contain, in Note 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 8, 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.  


Decision to “Go Public”


National Automation Services, Inc. (“NAS”), desire to become a publically traded Company was to provide to the industry in which we do business, an opportunity to enter into a market which has traditionally been (1) a privatized industry and (2) a segregated industry. By going public NAS has the potential to raise capital, more than would be readily available through bond financing (multiple restrictions) and the private financing markets. These private markets have higher rates and are a greater risk to the Company’s overall growth. In the “public arena”, financing can provide opportunities to “glue” together the privatized and segregated industry through acquisitions, joint partnerships, and other working relationships. Essentially, going public will allow NAS to “unlock” relatively illiquid value in our equity and more accessible debt financing (available to publicly traded companies), to turn it into a mechanism for purchasing power. Much of the money raised by going public allows NAS to pursue its business plan, financing business operations and ultimately achieving the growth by acquisition strategy and the overall improvement of the Company’s net worth. Our Form 10 General Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2009 went effective 60 days following that date, on October 6, 2009, and was cleared of all comments, in the SEC’s limited review on March 8, 2010.


Critical Accounting 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 below in Item 8. 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.




20





Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk


Financial instruments that are potentially subject to a concentration of business risk consist of accounts receivable. The majority of accounts receivable and all contract work in progress are from clients in various industries and locations. Most contracts require milestone payments as the projects progress. We generally do not require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the property, plant or equipment constructed or terminate the contract if a material default occurs.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


As required by the Receivables Topic of 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.


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.


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


As required by the Stock-based Compensation Topic of FASB ASC, transactions in which the Company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services is accounted for using authoritative guidance for stock based compensation. This guidance also addresses transactions in which the Company incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.




21





If the Company issues stock for services which are performed over a period of time, the Company capitalizes the value paid in the equity section of the Company’s financial statements as it’s a non-cash equity transaction. The Company accretes the expense to stock based compensation expense on a monthly basis for services rendered within the period.


We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.


If shares are issued for services to be performed over a period by a vendor, we capitalize the value paid and amortize the expense in association with services actually rendered.


Shares issued to employees are expensed upon issuance.

Operating Loss; Net Loss


Our decrease in revenue of $(1,779,321) or (48)%, over the prior year is a result of the downturn within our industry. We were unable to increase our contracts and services due to our inability to purchase parts for the Company. Our decrease in cost of revenue (goods sold) of $(1,575,543) or (44)% over the prior year due to the decrease in our production and labor costs. Our operating loss decreased by $(818,614), or (26)%, to $(2,306,574) and our net loss decreased by $(1,999,013), or (41)%, to $(2,888,633).  As discussed below, we attribute these decreases in our net losses over the prior period to the following: the $(238,001) or (14)% decrease in our selling, general and administrative expense with the reduction of staff; the $(796,381) or (98)% decrease in our consulting fees.   


Revenue.  Our consolidated 2010 revenue decreased by $(1,779,321), or (44)%, to $1,958,404 compared to $3,737,725 for the year ended December 31, 2009, due to loss of business, which is attributable to an decrease in (1) the number of new jobs we received and commenced, (2) inability to purchase parts for current customers, and (3) work performed on existing jobs included in our December 31, 2009 backlog of $2,486,992, with no addition to the backlog.  We expect to increase service related revenue by our sales efforts and through our acquisition strategy, whereby we can increase our regional footprint and thus provide additional local service related contracts.


Cost of Revenues; Gross Profit.  Our cost of revenue is comprised of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and other job related costs.  Our consolidated 2010 cost of revenue decreased by $(1,575,543) or (44)%, to $1,993,746, due to the decrease in our consolidated revenues and labor cutbacks since June 2009.  Our 2010 consolidated gross profit decreased by $(203,778), or (121)%, to $(35,342), primarily due to our reduction in revenue on new jobs as well as work performed on our existing backlog.



22





Operating Expenses


Our consolidated operating expenses for 2010 decreased by $(1,022,392), or (31)%, to $2,271,232, which resulted in an operating loss of $(2,306,574), compared to 2009 operating expenses of $3,293,624, and an operating loss of $(3,125,188).  The $(818,614) decrease (26)% in our operating loss is due to the following factors:  the $(238,019) decrease in our selling, general and administrative expense with the reduction of staff (due to our salary reduction in our Nevada subsidiary in September of 2010, and the loss of 2 additional staff members in our Intecon subsidiary); the $(796,381) or (98)% decrease in our consulting fees (we did not enter into any additional contracts for the fiscal year end).


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $(238,019), or (14)%, to $1,485,276 for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to the reduction of staff (due to our salary reduction in our ISS subsidiary in September of 2010, and the loss of 2 additional staff members in our Intecon subsidiary).


Consulting fees.  Our consulting fees, which are attributable to investor relations services, decreased by $(796,381) or (98)% , to $17,095 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. We did not enter into any additional contracts with new consulting groups due to our impending litigation of Trafalgar. Trafalgar has hampered our efforts in the past year to promote our business on any National level.


Professional Fees and Related Expenses.  Professional fees, which principally represent costs for legal and accounting fees and expenses, and corporate, operations and acquisitions advisory services rendered stayed relatively the same.

  

Interest Expense; Net.  Interest expense, net decreased by $(1,037,198), or (64)%, to $582,059, and is primarily attributable to the interest expense on our secured debt to Trafalgar; including the non-cash accretion of all debt discounts of $787,216 under our loan and credit agreements with Trafalgar due to the default notice we received from Trafalgar in July 2009.  At December 31, 2010 we owed Trafalgar an aggregate of $3,105,399, including $758,398, net outstanding under our December 2008 secured revolving note all of our secured indebtedness to Trafalgar which was in default. As of March 25, 2011, the Company has settled its litigations with Trafalgar (For additional details see Item 3: Legal).

Assets.  At December 31, 2008, our consolidated total assets decreased by $(181,639), or (17)%, to $859,679, is due to the following; (1) less cash as of December 31, 2010 (2) to our total amortization of our Intangible assets as of December 31, 2010 (3) reduction of inventory due to our inability to purchase parts (4) reduction in our accounts receivable due to our loss of new customers and inability to service our current customers.  


Liabilities.  At December 31, 2010, our consolidated total liabilities increased by $1,296,330, or 23%, to $6,973,742, attributable principally to our Trafalgar interest and our accrual of payroll liabilities.

Stockholders’ Deficit.  Our consolidated stockholders’ deficit increased by $1,477,969, or 32%, to $6,114,063 primarily due to the Company’s stock issuance in efforts to raise capital and our net loss for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

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.


Even with the overall revenue less than the prior fiscal year of 2009, our revenue mix for the fiscal year 2010 shows an increase in our service related revenues. As we have stated previously, we expect to increase service related revenue by our sales efforts and through our acquisition strategy, whereby we can increase our regional footprint and thus provide additional local service related contracts.


Commitment and Contingencies


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. 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 $90,000 which was sent to Border States under the writ on October 15, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, our outstanding balance owed to Border State was $91,000. As of April 4, 2011, the Company has repaid this vendor in full.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


At December 31, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


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


The economic downturn has had a severe effect on us.  Although for the year ended December 31, 2010, our accounts receivable were $307,622, a decrease of $59,476, or 16%, due to a decrease in invoiced revenue, compared to December 31, 2009, at April 14, 2011 our cash on hand was $2,700.  In addition, we have experienced insufficient cash flow resulting from much slower payments from the contractors and others for whom we work (our receivables are now being paid within 60 to 90



24





days).  We also noted in 2010, that the Company, due to its encumbrances with Trafalgar, has had limited ability to service its customers. As a consequence we had to renegotiate with some of our customers in order for them to purchase parts from our vendors. At December 31, 2010, we had approx. $160,000 in receivables which will be paid directly to our vendors once the customer initiates payment. We will not receive these funds directly, but will reduce our obligations once we have been informed that payment has been made. Accordingly, we continued our imposed temporary 20% salary reduction on our employees and a 50% salary reduction on our senior management (we have paid such cash reductions in shares of our common stock up to June 30, 2009 and have accrued for the remainder of the salary on our financial statements). As of March 31, 2011, the Company has repaid a portion of reimbursement to the employees in the form of stock in order to retain existing employees and reduce our overall payroll accrual.


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.  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 hub 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.  


Also during 2010, we entered into promissory note agreements with three employees of the Company as a part of reimbursable expenses.  We originally entered into these agreements with the anticipation of paying them back in a very short term.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company still holds five outstanding related party loan agreements


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. In this equity purchase agreement, the Company has established a new relationship with a funding group. The relationship between the Company and this lending group was intended to provide the Company with additional cash financing for operational and acquisition funding. As of March 18, 2011, the Company has cancelled its agreement with Ascendiant. The company has returned to Treasury the 70,000,000 shares of stock held in escrow and has expensed the deferred financing fees in the amount of $125,000 in the first quarter of 2011.


Summary of Consolidated Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (rounded)


Our total cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately by $31,000, or 73%, to $11,400 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $42,400 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Operating Activities


Our total cash (used) by operating activities decreased by $(729,900), or (49)%, to $(770,400) for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $(1,500,300) for the year ended December 31, 2009.


For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we had less stock issued for services compared to December 31, 2009. We expect future cash (used) provided by operating activities to fluctuate, primarily as a result of fluctuations in our operating results, receivables collections, inventory management and timing of vendor payments. We noted the impairment of our goodwill due to our reoccurring net losses from our Arizona subsidiary, and deferred revenue from our Nevada subsidiary at fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. We still continue to issue stock for services rendered by employees and consultants. Large fluctuations in our operating cash position will continue until we can stabilize our cash funding for operations and future acquisitions. We had no significant unusual cash outlays related to our operating activities during fiscal 2010.

Investing Activities


Our total cash used for investing activities decreased by $(18,700), or 100%, to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $(18,700) for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is attributable to no additional purchases in our corporate offices, at our Arizona subsidiary and at our Nevada subsidiary as of December 31, 2010.  


Financing Activities


Our total cash provided by financing activities decreased by $(713,400), or (49)%, to $739,500 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1,452,900 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is due in part to our limited funding through our sale of restricted stock. Our litigation lawsuit with Trafalgar has hampered our ability to seek additional funding in the form of equity, debt or mezzanine debt. We still require investment capital to run operations as well as our acquisition strategy. We will continue to seek out additional funding for the Company.


Current Commitments for Expenditures


Our current cash commitments for expenditures are mainly operational and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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


ITEM 7A:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Compliance with Exemptions from the Registration Requirements of Federal and State Securities Laws


On October 2, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Plan of Reorganization Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Intuitive System Solutions, Inc. (“ISS”), a Nevada corporation, Messrs. Jody R. Hanley (“Hanley”), Robert W. Chance (“Chance”) and Manuel Ruiz (“Ruiz”) (collectively, the “ISS Owners”), TBeck Capital, Inc. (“TBeck”), a Florida corporation, and 3 JP Inc. (“3 JP”), a California corporation, in connection with our reverse merger with ISS.  In Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement we agreed to issue and deliver to T-Beck 18,000,000 shares of our common stock, of which 4,000,000 shares would be restricted stock and 14,000,000 shares would be “free-trading” stock.  In October 2007, our Board of Directors, of which Raymond Talarico was the sole member, authorized, and we thereafter issued, an aggregate of 14,000,000 “free-trading” shares of our common stock in reliance on the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act afforded by Regulation D, Rule 504, and Texas’ state securities laws; and in connection therewith we received and relied upon a legal opinion from an attorney licensed in Texas.  We believe (despite the fact that we have no record of any written request from T-Beck) that at T-Beck’s request these free-trading shares were not issued solely to T-Beck as provided in the Agreement, but rather these shares were issued by us directly to the following recipients ("Recipients"), and their respective beneficial ownership in NAS as of the closing of the ISS reverse merger, based only on shares owned of record, was as follows:  T-Beck Capital, Inc. ("T-Beck") – 2,000,000 shares (5%); Victoria Financial Consultants, LLC – 2,000,000 shares (5%); Warren Street Investments, Inc. – 1,000,000 shares (2.5%); BGW Enterprises, Inc. – 1,898,147 shares (4.7%); Blake Williams – 1,101,853 shares (2.7%); South Bay Capital, Inc. – 3,000,000 shares (7.5%); and Michelle Rice – 3,000,000 shares (7.5%).  (Likewise, despite the provisions of Section 2.2(d) of the Agreement setting forth that all shares be issued to T-Beck, we issued the 4,000,000 restricted shares to several recipients, none of which was T-Beck, as follows:  3 JP – 1,975,000 shares (4.9%); Stingray Investments – 1,975,000 shares (4.9%) and Hoss Capital – 50,000 shares (1.2%).)  NAS now believes as follows:  Stingray Investments, T-Beck and Warren Street Investments were affiliates of Ronald Williams (Ronald Williams was the President of T-Beck, and he died in March 2009); BGW Enterprises and Victoria Financial Consultants were affiliates of Blake Williams, the adult son of Ronald Williams; and South Bay Capital was an affiliate of 3 JP, and that both were affiliates of Joseph Pardo; and based on such current belief the Recipients’ respective beneficial ownership of NAS shares as of the closing of the ISS reverse merger was as follows:  Ronald Williams – 12.4%; Joseph Pardo – 12.4%;  Blake Williams – 10%; and Michelle Rice – 7.5%.  Presumably Mr. Raymond Talarico, NAS’ President and sole director as of the ISS closing and therefore the sole person who, in the name and on behalf of NAS, authorized the issuance of these 14 million free-trading shares, did not have such a belief, because if he knew of these affiliations then NAS should not have issued free-trading shares to Messrs. Joseph Pardo, Blake Williams and/or Ronald Williams and/or their respective affiliates if any such individual had beneficial ownership of 10% or more of NAS common stock.  However, it is possible that in October 2007, one or more of these three individuals each could have beneficially owned a sufficient number of shares of our outstanding common stock so as to have required us, if we had had knowledge of such ownership, to have (a) placed on their shares the customary restrictive legend for securities held by a person deemed to be an “affiliate” of our company as the issuer of such shares, and (b) instructed our transfer agent to place the customary “stop transfer” instructions against such shares; and any such legend and “stop transfer” would have made it impossible for them to sell their free-trading shares to the public without either (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an opinion of counsel that there was available an exemption from applicable registration requirements.  



26





However, beneficial ownership, affiliate status and knowledge each is a question of fact, and in determining that we were not required to place a restrictive legend and “stop transfer” on any of these 14,000,000 shares we do not know what investigation or inquiry, if any, was made by such counsel or by Mr. Talarico.  If in connection with the issuance of these free-trading shares it is believed that either (a) the issuance of such shares did not comply with or satisfy the terms of the exemptions from registration relied upon and that therefore such shares were issued in violation of federal and/or state securities laws or (b) we failed to impose any required restrictive legend, the purchasers of these free-trading shares from the initial recipients thereof, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), could commence an action against us.  For example, the SEC could allege that we violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act by offering and selling securities when no registration statement had been filed or was in effect as to such securities, and for which there was no exemption from registration available under the Securities Act.  State regulatory authorities also might commence similar enforcement actions.  Any such regulatory enforcement action brought against us might be civil or criminal in nature.  If an enforcement action was to be commenced against us, the defenses we would assert might be unsuccessful.  If such purchasers and/or the SEC or other federal or state regulatory authorities were successful, we would face severe financial demands that would have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders.  (See also, Item 1, Business - Acquisitions Effected - Intuitive System Solutions, Inc.)


Limitations upon Broker-Dealers Effecting Transactions in "Penny Stocks"


Trading in our common stock is subject to material limitations as a consequence of regulations which limits the activities of broker-dealers effecting transactions in "penny stocks."


Pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, our common stock is a "penny stock" because it (i) is not listed on any national securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market, (ii) has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, and (iii) its issuer (the Company) has net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for at least three (3) years) or $5,000,000 (if the issuer has been in business for less than three (3) years).


Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act imposes limitations upon trading activities on "penny stocks", which makes selling our common stock more difficult compared to selling securities which are not "penny stocks."  Rule 15a-9 restricts the solicitation of sales of "penny stocks" by broker-dealers unless the broker first (i) obtains from the purchaser information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, (ii) reasonably determines that the purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person is capable of evaluating the risks of investing in "penny stocks", and (iii) delivers and receives back from the purchaser a manually signed written statement acknowledging the purchaser's investment experience and financial sophistication.


Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under the Exchange Act require broker-dealers who engage in transactions in "penny stocks" first to provide their customers with a series of disclosures and documents, including (i) a standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investing in "penny stocks", (ii) all compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction, (iii) current quotation prices and other relevant market data, and (iv) monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities.


There can be no assurance that any broker-dealer which initiates quotations for the Common Stock will continue to do so, and the loss of any such broker-dealer likely would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.


Fluctuations in Stock Price


Our common stock has been quoted on the Pink Sheets since October 12, 2007. Since that date, our common shares have traded on the Pink Sheets between a low of $0.01 per share and a high of $0.56 per share. The market price of our common stock may change significantly in response to various factors and events beyond our control, including but not limited to the following: (i) the risk factors described herein; (ii) a shortfall in operating revenue or net income from that expected by securities analysts and investors; (iii) changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance or the financial performance of our competitors or companies in our industry generally; (iv) general conditions in the economy as a whole; (v) general conditions in the securities markets; (vi) our announcements of significant contracts, milestones, acquisitions; (vii) our relationship with other companies; (viii) our investors’ view of the sectors and markets in which we operate; or (ix) additions or departures of key personnel. Some companies that have volatile market prices for their securities have been subject to security class action suits filed against them. If a suit were to be filed against us, regardless of the outcome, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.





27





Limited Public Trading Market


Our common stock is currently quoted for trading on the Over the Counter (“OTC”) QB markets. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices. With the registration of our Form 10, we seek to increase our trading volume in our current market, however, there can be no assurance that a more active trading market will commence in our securities on the Pink Sheets. Further, in the event that an active trading market commences on the Pink Sheets, there can be no assurance as to the level of any market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.


Companies quoted for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. If our common stock is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, and we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to regain our quotation privileges on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, which may have an adverse material effect on our business.


Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any present or future markets that may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our common stock.


Shares Eligible for Future Sale


The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.  In addition, any such sale or perception could make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity related, securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.  With the effectiveness of our registration statement, we might elect to adopt a stock option plan and register the shares of common stock reserved for such a plan or register shares of stock for equity funding groups. The shares of common stock issued under such plan, other than shares held by affiliates, if any, would be immediately eligible for resale in the public market without restriction.  


The sale of shares of our common stock which are not registered under the Securities Act, known as “restricted” shares, typically are effected under Rule 144.  At April 14, 2011 we had outstanding an aggregate of 152,870,081 shares of restricted common stock.  In accordance with the recent amendments to Rule 144, since we formerly were a “shell” company our shares of restricted common stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144 as of October 6, 2009 at which time we became subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, i.e., our registration statement became effective, and then only if we thereafter have complied with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act for the next 6 to 12 months.  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of “restricted” shares of our common stock, or the availability of such shares for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock or our ability to raise capital through an offering of our equity securities.


The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.  In addition, any such sale or perception could make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity related, securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.  If and when this registration statement becomes effective and we become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we might elect to adopt a stock option plan and file a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder.  Following the effectiveness of any such registration statement, the shares of common stock issued under such plan, other than shares held by affiliates, if any, would be immediately eligible for resale in the public market without restriction.  


No Dividends


We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.  Furthermore, our financing agreements with Trafalgar prohibit us from declaring dividends while our indebtedness is outstanding.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors of

National Automation Services, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of National Automation Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  National Automation Services’ management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluation the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of National Automation Services, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has working capital deficiencies and continued net losses.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 3.   The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NATIONAL AUTOMATION SERVICES, INC.,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: Organization and basis of presentation


          

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation


We were originally incorporated on January 27, 1997 in Nevada under the name E-Biz Solutions, Inc., and on March 27, 1998, we changed our name to Jaws Technologies, Inc.  On July 7, 2000, we reincorporated in Delaware, and on September 29, 2000 we changed our name to Jawz Inc.  On March 6, 2007, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Form 15-12G voluntarily terminating the registration of our common stock and our reporting obligations under federal securities laws.  On June 13, 2007, we changed our name to Ponderosa Lumber, Inc.  As Ponderosa Lumber, Inc., we were a public “shell” company with nominal assets and no operations, and our sole objective was to identify, evaluate, and acquire an operating business which wanted to become a publicly held entity.  On June 25, 2007, we reincorporated as a Colorado corporation under the name Timeshare Rescue, Inc. On October 2, 2007, we changed our name to National Automation Services, Inc. in connection with our reverse merger with an operating entity named Intuitive System Solutions, Inc., as described below.  On December 28, 2007, we reincorporated as a Nevada corporation under the name National Automation Services, Inc. On August 6, 2009, we filed our Form 10 registration statement with the SEC to reinstate our reporting obligations under federal securities laws. The Form 10 became effective 60 days after submission on October 6, 2009 and cleared its limited comment review as of March 8, 2010.


These financial statements have been presented in accordance with the rules governing a smaller reporting company for both periods of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 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.


Concentrations of Credit and Business Risk


Financial instruments that are potentially subject to a concentration of business risk consist of accounts receivable. The majority of accounts receivable and all contract work in progress are from clients in various industries and locations. Most contracts require milestone payments as the projects progress. We generally do not require collateral, but in most cases can place liens against the property, plant or equipment constructed or terminate the contract if a material default occurs.


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.



35





NOTE 1: Organization and basis of presentation (continued)


Inventories


          

Inventory is stated at the lower cost or market, we use the weighted average cost method and 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. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company noted obsolete items in inventory due to technical obsolesce and expensed $0 and $93,498 to cost of goods sold, respectively.


Property & Equipment


          

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.


Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is generally five years for vehicles, two to three years for computer software/hardware and office equipment and three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives. Upon the sale or retirement of property or equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the Company’s financial statements with the resulting gain or loss reflected in the Company’s results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.


Intangible Assets- Goodwill


Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and other intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions. On December 31, 2009, as required by the Intangible topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Council (“FASB ASC”), the Company conducted an analysis of the goodwill determined on December 26, 2007 with the acquisition of Intecon. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, our valuation assessment for impairment found that due to net carrying loss for the Company and the continued going concern of the Company’s financials, we could no longer carry the value of our goodwill; we therefore impaired the entire amount of goodwill and brought the value to zero as of December 31, 2009.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


As required by the Receivables Topic of 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.



36





NOTE 1: Organization and basis of presentation (continued)


          

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.


Income Taxes


As required by the Income Tax Topic of FASB ASC, income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with the new codification standards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


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 computation of limitations relating to the amount of such tax assets, and the determination of appropriate valuation allowances relating to the realizing of such assets, are inherently complex and require the exercise of judgment. As additional information becomes available, we continually assess the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets.


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.


Earnings (loss) per share basic and diluted


Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Earnings per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding.


Potentially dilutive common shares consist of employee stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred net loss. During years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the Company incurred a net loss, resulting in no potentially dilutive common shares.


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 (For additional information see Note 10: Fair value).







37





NOTE 1: Organization and basis of presentation (continued)


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).


NOTE 2: Recently adopted and recently issued accounting guidance


Adopted


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 year ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2010, and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


Issued


In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for the Company with the reporting period beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated 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 were pledged to Trafalgar as collateral for our outstanding $3,700,000 (including interest) of indebtedness (For additional information on Trafalgar See Note 15: Subsequent events). The Company has experienced reoccurring net losses, had a net loss of $(2,888,633) for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $(4,887,646) for the year ended December 31, 2009, and a working capital deficiency of $(6,278,876) at December 31, 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. 



38





NOTE 3: Going concern (continued)


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 hub using dedicated teams of trained employees, rather than having these tasks performed at our branch offices.


NOTE 4: Accounts receivable, net


         

 Included in our accounts receivable account balance is our customer retention account which accounts for the remaining 10% of revenue on all building contracts that the Company enters into. For each invoice sent to the customer, 10% of the invoice total is held in retention until the job is completed. Once completed the Company issues a final invoice which accounts for the remaining balance unpaid and any and all retention in which the customer owes the Company. Retention revenue is recognized when earned.

In 2010, the Company noted due to its encumbrance with Trafalgar, we had limited ability to service our customers. As a consequence we had to work with some of our customers in order for them to purchase parts from our vendors. As such, at December 31, 2010, we had approx. $160,000 in receivables which will be paid directly to our vendors once the customer initiates payment. We will not receive these funds directly, but we will reduce our obligations once we have been informed that payment has been made. As of December 31, 2010, the $160,000 remains a part of our accounts receivable.

NOTE 6: Loans, Capital lease (continued)


On January 15, 2009, the Company entered into a fair market value capital lease with Konika Copiers. The lease is over a 60 month period; with present lease payments exceeding 90% of fair market value of the property (see Note 12: Commitments).


On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with Dell Financial in the amount of $25,000. The Company’s current outstanding balance on the line of credit as of December 31, 2009 was $7,287.


NOTE 7: 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 14: 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 (For additional details see Note 15: Subsequent events).


NOTE 8: Secured redeemable debentures


On March 26, 2008, the Company entered into a secured redeemable debenture agreement with Trafalgar, for a total financing package of redeemable debentures up to $10,000,000. On March 26, 2008, the Company borrowed $1,500,000 and on July 21, 2008 the Company borrowed $750,000.


          

Upon entering into the agreements with Trafalgar, the Company capitalized the financing fees over the life of the loans. The $775,353 is the sum of the value of the warrants ($10,353), the value of the stock issued ($540,000) and the value of the 15% principal redemption/repayment premium on the $1,500,000 loan ($225,000) (For additional details see Note 15: Subsequent events).

 

On December 19, 2008, the Company entered into the ABL agreement which restructured the debenture agreements and reduced certain terms over the life of the loans without triggering debt extinguishment. The total value of the ABL agreement as of December 31, 2010 is $758,398. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not requested additional debt under this agreement.


           

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not requested additional debt under this agreement which did not triggered the remaining $7,750,000 in debentures from Trafalgar. The Trafalgar debenture agreements had a premium and discount term associated. Debt premiums/discounts, typically fees paid by the debtor to the creditor(s) as part of the issuance of debt, are accounted for as a direct reduction of or addition to the face amount of the debt (valuation account) as the discount or premium is inseparable from the debt giving rise to it.


The debt premium/discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. At December 31, 2009 the remaining premium/discount of $772,328 was fully amortized in association with out deferred financing fees. The following table represents the remaining current and long term portion of the total debt as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Loans


On July 25, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with South Bay Capital in the amount of $75,926. Per the terms of the verbal agreement no interest was to be accumulated. On December 19, 2008 the Company repaid South Bay in the amount of $65,000.  On September 15, 2009, the Company secured the remaining balance of the loan with a written promissory note. The note bears an interest rate of 12% for the remaining balance of $10,926, and was applied retrospectively to the note as of January 1, 2009.   As of December 31, 2010, $10,926 of the debt still remains outstanding with total interest of $41,355.


Legal


On April 23, 2009, the Company entered into a lawsuit against Trafalgar Capital Specialized Investment Fund, FIS (“Trafalgar”). The Company was the Plaintiff, charging Trafalgar with usurious lending practices. The Company 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.


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.  




43





NOTE 12: Commitments (continued)


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 Company settled negotiations on March 25, 2011 (For additional information see Note 15: Subsequent events).


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. As of December 31, 2010, we still have an outstanding balance with Summit Electric and are working towards payment to this vendor (For additional information see Note 15: Subsequent events).


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. As of December 31, 2010, we still have an outstanding balance with Border States and are working towards payment to this vendor (For additional information see Note 15: Subsequent events).


NOTE 13: Income taxes


At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $7,777,600 and $5,319,800, respectively, which begin to expire in 2027.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2,826,700 and $2,065,700, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

ITEM 9A:

 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 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 over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported appropriately. 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, 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 annual 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 year ended December 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Employment Contracts


Employment Agreements with Named Executive Officers


Robert Chance. Effective October 12, 2007, our ISS subsidiary entered into an employment agreement, as amended, with Robert Chance under which he agreed to devote his full working time to the discharge of his duties, such duties to be those which ISS may from time to time assign to him.  Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Chance a salary at the rate of $104,000 per year and to provide him with such supplemental benefits as we may from time to time provide to our full-time employees in similar positions as Mr. Chance. Mr. Chance is subject to certain non-compete restrictions for so long as he is employed by us and for a one-year period after the end of his employment. He is also subject to certain non-disclosure restrictions at all times during and after his employment. The term of the agreement is for a two-year period and will continue for successive periods of one year each, unless either party terminates the employment at the end of the initial term or any renewal term by giving written notice at least 30 days prior to the end of such term. Mr. Chance’s employment will terminate upon the first to occur of the expiration of the initial or any renewal term, as applicable, his death or total and permanent disability, our election to terminate him due to his material breach of any of his covenants under the employment agreement, or our election to terminate him for cause. We agreed to review his salary at annual intervals, and we may make any increases we deem appropriate. To the extent not covered by our disability insurance, if any, if Mr. Chance is unable to perform his services during the term of this agreement by reason of illness or incapacity, he shall receive his full compensation during the first two (2) months of such disability. If such disability should continue for longer than two (2) months, the compensation otherwise payable to Mr. Chance during the continued period of disability shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) provided such continued period of disability lasts no longer than four (4) months. Mr. Chance’s full compensation shall be reinstated upon his return to employment and his discharge of his full duties hereunder. This provision shall not be operative until all benefits

under our long-term disability insurance plan, if any, have been calculated and shall not be considered in determining the amount of benefits under any such insurance plan. If Mr. Chance dies during the term of this agreement, we shall pay to his estate any salary which would have otherwise been earned for the balance of the month in which death occurred, plus two years of his then monthly base pay.


Brandon Spiker.  On December 26, 2007, in connection with our acquisition of Intecon Inc., we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Spiker in which he agreed to accept a full-time senior management position with Intecon, initially as its President, for a 24-month term commencing January 1, 2008.  We agreed to pay him a minimum annual salary of $112,008, subject to such increases as we may approve.  As a retention bonus we issued to Mr. Spiker 1,500,000 shares of common stock, which we valued at $210,000 based on the closing market price on December 26, 2007 of $0.14 per share; provided, however, that if he voluntarily resigns before the end of the 24-month employment term he will forfeit 62,500 shares, being 1/24 of such 1,500,000 shares, for each month remaining during such term. On January 17, 2011, we amended our employment agreement with Brandon Spiker retaining him at his current salary of $126,000 and awarding him 1,000,000 shares of common stock as a retention bonus. As of February 28, 2011, the Company reduced his full-time status to part-time status until such time as our cash constraints and operations can be corrected.


David Marlow.  On December 26, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Marlow, all the material terms of which are identical to those of Mr. Spiker’s agreement except that Mr. Marlow serves as Intecon’s Vice President – Sales and his minimum annual salary is $89,808.  On December 30, 2010, we amended our employment agreement with David Marlow retaining him at his current salary of $104,000 and awarding him 1,000,000 shares of common stock as a retention bonus.


Jeremy Briggs.  On July 28, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Jeremy Briggs, as amended January 1, 2009, under which he agreed to devote his full working time as a Vice President and our Chief Accounting Officer.  Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Briggs a salary at the rate of $85,000 per year, to issue to him 250,000 shares of common stock which we valued at $32,500, and to provide him with such supplemental benefits as we may from time to time prove to our full-time employees in similar positions as Mr. Briggs.  Mr. Briggs is subject to certain non-compete restrictions for so long as he is employed by us and for a one-year period after the end of his employment.  He is also subject to certain non-disclosure restrictions at all times during and after his employment. The term of the agreement is for a one-year period and will continue for successive periods of one year each, unless either party terminates the employment at the end of the initial term or any renewal term by giving written notice at least 30 days prior to the end of such term.  Mr. Briggs’ employment will terminate upon the first to occur of the expiration of the initial or any renewal term, as applicable, his death or total and permanent disability, our election to terminate him due to his material breach of any of his covenants under the employment agreement, or our election to terminate him for cause.  We also may terminate Mr. Briggs without cause at any time, with unanimous approval of our Board of Directors, on at least one month written notice, in which event we must pay him his then base salary for one year plus the prorated amount of any discretionary incentive compensation to which he otherwise would have been entitled.  Mr. Briggs also would be entitled to such salary and incentive compensation if he terminates his employment for “good reason” (which term is not defined).  Mr. Briggs also may terminate his employment with us at any time on 30 days written notice.  We agreed to review his salary at annual intervals, and we may make any increases we deem appropriate.  To the extent not covered by our disability insurance, if any, if Mr. Briggs is unable to perform his services during the term of this agreement by reason of illness or incapacity, he shall receive his full compensation during the first two (2) months of such disability.  If such disability should continues for longer than two (2) months, the compensation otherwise payable to Mr. Briggs during the continued period of disability shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) provided such continued period of disability lasts no longer than four (4) months.  Mr. Briggs’ full compensation shall be reinstated upon his return to employment and his discharge of his full duties thereunder.  This provision shall not be operative until all benefits under our long-term disability insurance plan, if any, have been calculated and shall not be considered in determining the amount of benefits under any such insurance plan.  On January 17, 2011, we amended our employment agreement with Jeremy Briggs increasing his current salary of $85,000 to $100,000 and awarding him 750,000 shares of common stock as a retention bonus.


Termination of Employment or Change in Control Arrangements


Except as disclosed in this prospectus, there are no compensatory plans or arrangements with any named executive officer (including payments to be received from our parent company or any of our subsidiaries), which result or will result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of such named executive officer or from a change of control of our parent company or any of our subsidiaries or any change in such named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

(1)

Each person named is an executive officer or a director. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner is c/o National Automation Services, Inc., P.O. Box 531744 Henderson NV 89053.

(2)

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 152,870,081 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 14, 2011, as provided by our Transfer Agent, which systematically makes the calculations to three decimal points, and we rounded up or down. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.

(3)

Each individual formerly was a principal shareholder of ISS, and in connection with our October 2, 2007 reverse merger he executed a lockup agreement in which he agreed not to sell any of the 7,333,333 shares he received in that transaction for two years, other than in a private sales transaction approved in advance by Ronald Williams (the President of T-Beck Capital, Inc., who died in March 2009) or Joseph Pardo, each of whom we deemed to have been a “promoter” following such reverse merger.  See Item 7 below, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence – Promoters and Control Persons.”

(4)

Includes (i) 225,000 shares of common stock held by immediate family members, (ii) 500,000 shares of common stock held by O’Connor Mortgage, an entity Mr. O’Connor controls, and (iii) 2,000,000 shares of common stock held by the O’Connor Trust, a trust of which Mr. O’Connor is the trustee.  In March 2008, Mr. O’Connor paid $25,000 to Victoria Financial Consultants to purchase an aggregate of 4,075,000 of the free-trading shares we originally issued to T-Beck and its designees pursuant to our reverse acquisition with our reverse acquisition with ISS, as described above in Item 1, as follows:  T-Beck Capital (935,000 shares); Warren Street Investments (500,000 shares); Victoria Financial Consultants (1,950,000 shares); and Blake Williams (690,000 shares).  Despite the passing of approximately 19 months since his payment of the purchase price, Mr. O’Connor has not yet received any stock certificates, although he did receive separate Limited Powers of Attorney and Stock Powers signed by Blake Williams individually and by Ronald Williams on behalf of each corporate seller (such power of attorney became invalid in March 2009 when Ronald Williams died).  Mr. O’Connor believes that all these shares were seized by and now are in the possession of the FBI, and he does not know if or when such shares will be released to him.  Accordingly, Mr. O’Connor does not believe he has any voting or dispositive rights with respect to such shares, and he has not claimed beneficial ownership of these 4,075,000 shares and they are excluded from the amount of shares listed.  

(5)

Includes 26,154 shares held by immediate family members.


Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

ITEM 13:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


The following information summarizes transactions we have either engaged in during the last three years, or propose to engage in, involving our executive officers, directors, more than 5% stockholders, promoters or founders, or immediate family members of these persons, or promoter or founder, or immediate family of such persons, which equals either $120,000 or an aggregate one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end of our last two fiscal years, whichever is less:


Transaction with related persons


Described below are certain transactions and currently proposed transactions, from January 1, 2008, the beginning of our last two fiscal years, between us and our named executive officers, our directors and the beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, on an as converted basis, and certain persons affiliated with or related to these persons, including immediate family members, in which they had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in an amount that exceeds $17,905 (being the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets as of year-end for the last three completed fiscal years), other than compensation arrangements that are otherwise described under “Executive Compensation.”

Borrowings:


As of December 31, 2010, we owed Mr. O’Connor $86,000 plus $15,050 in accrued interest.  In December 2009 Mr. O’Connor voluntarily returned 1,314,165 of the 1,357,143 shares previously issued to him as payment of the accrued late fees on the verbal loan.  After taking into account the return of these shares, interest accrued from inception of the verbal loan at a 10% annual rate, consistent with our corporate policy for interest payable on loans from related parties such as directors.


As of December 31, 2010, we owed Mr. Hanley $79,913 plus $42,801 in accrued interest.


Compensation, Etc.


We also have issued to our named executive officers common stock as compensation in addition to the amounts of salary set forth in their respective employment agreements, as follows:  


To Jeremy Briggs:  On March 28, 2011, we issued 750,000 shares for employment retention; On July 16, 2009, we issued 350,000 shares valued at $17,500 in lieu of a salary increase.  


To Brandon Spiker:  On March 28, 2011, we issued 1,000,000 shares for employment retention.


To David Marlow:  On March 28, 2011, we issued 1,000,000 shares for employment retention


In July 2009, we issued common stock to our named executive officers in lieu of salary as part of our temporary salary reduction program implemented to save cash, valuing the shares at $0.10 each, as follows:  


Jeremy Briggs:

26,154 shares

Robert Chance:  

80,000 shares

Jody Hanley:

80,000 shares

David Marlow:

80,000 shares

Manuel Ruiz:

80,000 shares

Brandon Spiker:

80,769 shares


In March 2011, we issued common stock to our named executive officers in lieu of salary as part of our temporary salary reduction program implemented to save cash, valuing the shares at $0.10 each, as follows:  


Jeremy Briggs:

137,500 shares

Jody Hanley:

580,000 shares

David Marlow:

390,000 shares

Manuel Ruiz:

580,000 shares

Brandon Spiker:

559,135 shares


On January 28, 2009, we issued to Gianpiero Balestrieri 2,000,000 shares (which we valued at $240,000 based on the $0.12 closing market price of our common stock on January 23, 2009, the day we authorized such issuance) in consideration of all corporate, operational and acquisitions advisory services to be rendered by him after July 31, 2009, i.e., we are not obligated to pay him any additional compensation for his services to us after that date.  As a result of this stock award Mr. Balestrieri became the holder of 4,500,000 shares, representing more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, a classification which applied to him until September 15, 2009, when we issued additional shares to third parties.  (Prior to the January 2009 stock award Mr. Balestrieri owned 2,500,000 shares, of which (a) on July 21, 2008 we issued 500,000 shares (which we valued at $135,000 based on the $0.27 closing market price of our common stock on that day) to retain his advisory services and (b) on August 14, 2008 we issued an additional 2,000,000 shares (which we valued at $460,000 based on the $0.23 closing market price of our common stock on August 8, 2008, the day we authorized such issuance) as compensation for services rendered and to be rendered by him through July 31, 2009.)  NAS originally had a written advisory agreement with Mr. Balestrieri dated July 16, 2008 for him to serve as the exclusive financial advisor to our board of directors, but three days later it was voided by the parties by mutual agreement, principally to allow NAS the flexibility to hire other advisors if it so desired and also to expand the scope of Mr. Balestrieri’s duties to include corporate, operational and acquisitions advisory services to Management; and he has served continuously without a written agreement.  The amounts of his 2008 and 2009 share grants were based on a mutual determination that (a) the value thereof represented a reasonable cost to NAS to obtain the services of an executive with Mr. Balestrieri’s experience at times when NAS did not have available or did not wish to expend for his services an equivalent amount of cash, and (b) such shares would provide sufficient incentive to Mr. Balestrieri.  Mr. Balestrieri has brought to NAS approximately 18 years of executive experience in budgeting and creating and executing corporate and growth strategies (both



56





internal growth and growth by strategic acquisition) obtained through his prior employment as an executive with General Electric, Optiglobe and Bechtel, among other things.  


Promoters and certain control persons


We have no knowledge of any person who would be deemed a “promoter” of our company during the past five years within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, except as noted in our registration statement Form 10/a filed on March 3, 2010.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Indemnification under Nevada Law


Nevada law generally permits us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents. Pursuant to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.7502, we, as a corporation organized in Nevada, may indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with the following:


(a)

A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, against expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable for breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


(b)

A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable for breach of his fiduciary duties pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


(c)

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.


Charter Provisions, Bylaws and Other Arrangements of the Registrant


Article IX of our bylaws allows us to indemnify of any and all persons who serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of our company to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.


Director Independence


There are no members of our board of directors who would be considered an “independent” director under the definition of “independence” set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).
