Phoenix International Ventures, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Activities

Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. (PIV) was organized August 7, 2006 as a Nevada corporation to develop business in the market of defense and aerospace.  Our primary business is manufacturing, re-manufacturing and upgrading of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) used in military and commercial aircraft.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP’) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010 financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2011.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned US subsidiary Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. (“PAI”) and an Israeli subsidiary, Phoenix Europe Ventures, Ltd. (“PEV). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results could differ.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Going Concern

At March 31, 2011, the Company assessed its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has a significant working capital deficit which is reflective of the inability to meet its outstanding vendor obligations. The inability to meet these obligations has severely hampered the Company’s ability to generate revenue from the normal course of business.
 
The Company, since early 2011, has implemented an aggressive plan to raise additional capital primarily through equity financing in order to fund planned operations.  Through the date of this report the Company has achieved limited success in obtaining financing primarily through private placements.
 
Although the Company has significantly reduced its operating expenses and believes that it will be able to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance, that its capital raising efforts will be sufficient to begin fulfilling ongoing orders.  If it is unable to promptly fulfill its order backlog, such orders may be cancelled which would materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.   Additionally, if the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining capital it will fail to continue as going concern.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows since the filing of the Form 10-K on May 16, 2011.  As noted, in the further detail, in the Form 10-K filing on the above referenced date, the Company is in the process of determining the potential impacts of the June 30, 2011 implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605) Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.  Potentially material impacts of this implementation are dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate additional study contracts.  As of the date of this report, no such contracts have been executed.

Earnings (loss) per Common Share

The Company calculates its basic earnings (loss) per share based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding.  Net earnings (loss) is divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period to arrive at the basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings  per share is calculated by dividing net earnings  by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings  per share calculation and the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, excluding those securities that would be anti-dilutive to the earnings  per share calculation. Both basic earnings (loss) and diluted earnings  per share amounts are calculated for all periods presented. The Company does not have any outstanding instruments that are convertible into shares of common stock.

Note 3 – Long Term Contracts

For certain contracts, specifically the USAF trailer program currently in progress, the Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion method involves cost estimates to compute the contract profit which are subject to review and revision.

Costs and estimated losses on this contract were as follows:

   
March 31, 2011
   
December 31, 2010
 
Costs incurred to date

Due to the financial position of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2011, no significant progress on the USAF trailer program was achieved.

Note 4 - Notes Payable

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company did not issue any additional notes payable.

As disclosed in Note 7, the Company settled note payable obligations with previously outstanding principal of $300,000 along with $45,231 of accrued interest in exchange for 2,265,057 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 we recognized interest expense of $34,272 of which $7,742 is accrued and unpaid at March 31, 2011.

As disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on May 16, 2011, a significant portion of the Company’s outstanding notes payable were in default.  At March 31, 2011 all of the Company’s current related party notes payable were in default.

On March 22, 2011 the Company converted previously accrued salary and other compensation totaling $136,593 due to the former CFO, Neev Nissenson, to a note payable.  Based on the terms of the agreement, as noted in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2011, the Company is obligated to make monthly payments of $2,500 each commencing September 30, 2011.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company recognized a discount on the note of $44,266 using an assumed interest rate of 15% which is the effective rate for substantially all of the other outstanding notes payable.

There were no other significant changes in the Company’s notes payable for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
 
There were no other significant related party transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that are not disclosed elsewhere in this report.

Note 6 – Restatements

During the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December31, 2010 management discovered errors in the accounting for the USAF trailer program which was recognized using the percentage of completion method.  In the first quarter of 2010 the Company revised (increased) its estimated costs to complete the first phase of the trailer program which resulted in a reduction of recognized revenue (of which $122,000 was previously reported as other expense) in the corresponding period.  Additionally, management discovered an error in the amount of indirect labor allocated to the trailer program and an immaterial amount of direct material purchases.  The indirect allocation ($51,000 reclassified to general and administrative) and direct materials ($9,246 reclassified to cost of sales) errors did not result in a material change in the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2010, but the reclassification adjustments are reflected in the table below.

The Company also discovered that in certain instances, invoices for services received ($35,000) were not reflected in the appropriate interim periods which should have been included in general and administrative expenses.

The following table illustrates the changes in the results of operations for March 31, 2010 as compared to those previously reported in our Form 10-Q originally filed on May 17, 2010:

For balance sheet purposes, as of March 31, 2010, the above error corrections resulted in an increase of previously reported costs in excess of billings of $1,146 to $474,788  (previously reported $473,642); and an increase in accounts payable of $39,800 to $841,749 (previously reported $801,949).

For cash flow purposes, the above corrections to our reported net loss were off-set by corresponding increases to accounts payable and costs in excess of billings, therefore, there was no change in our previously reported cash used in operations and investing activities, or provided by financing activities.
The above corrections, along with others in subsequent periods, are properly reflected in our annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. 

Note 7 - Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2011the Company entered into the following equity and equity-linked transactions:

On March 22, 2011 the Company settled its previously accrued consulting fees with Anney Business Corp., a related entity, of $181, 211in exchange for 302,018 shares of common stock.  The Company reviewed the substance of the transaction in accordance with GAAP which indicates such settlements are generally recognized as capital contributions.  The Company’s management determined the substance of the transaction did not constitute a capital contribution, therefore, a gain of approximately $157,000 was recognized on the settlement of the previously accrued obligation.
 
On March 24, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares of common stock in exchange for $250,000 in cash to certain investors including our board members Messrs. Amit Barzelai, Uri Wittenberg and Hagai Langstadter.  As part of the issuance for cash, the Company issued 283,333 shares of common stock, with a fair market value of approximately $23,000, as reduction of equity for capital raising costs.
 
On March 24, 2011I the Company issued an aggregate of 2,265,057 shares of common stock in exchange for notes payable with a principal balance of $300,000 and accrued interest of $45,000. The entire amount of debt and accrued interest settled represented transactions with related parties.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

In April, 2011, we engaged the services of Strategic Global Advisors, LLC (“SGA”) as our investor relations consultant under a one year agreement calling for fees of $7,500 per month.  In addition we issued 500,000 shares to SGA and granted them a five year option to purchase an additional 500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
 
In April 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an agreement whereby $408,000 of accrued obligations owed by our Company to Zahir Teja, our President and Chief Executive Officer was converted into 2,720,000 additional shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.15 per share.
 
In April 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional shares of its common stock to four members of our Board of Directors and granted to such persons options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
 
In May 2011 $116,000 in cash was raised through the issuance of 773,333 shares of common stock.

Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plan” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “continues,” or “potential,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements relate to the plans, objectives and expectations of the Company for future operations. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company's revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural disaster, the inability of the Company to insure against certain risks, inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates, changing government regulations domestically and internationally affecting our products and businesses.

Overview
 
Phoenix International Ventures, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “PIV” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 7, 2006. The financial statements are consolidated with those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Phoenix Aerospace, Inc. (“PAI”) and Phoenix Europe Ventures Ltd. (“PEV”)
 
 The Company manufactures and remanufactures aircraft ground support equipment. This equipment is needed to operate and maintain military aircraft.  We provide this ground support equipment in the following ways:

·
 Studies for Life Extension of Aging Equipment - Analyze obsolescence, supportability, maintainability, and recommend future design for replacement.
·
 Manufacture – Design, engineer, and produce per customer specifications.
·
 Manufacture New – Legacy equipment under license of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
·
 Remanufacture – Aged equipment to virtually new condition and warranty them as new.
·
 Parts Trading - Supply other support parts for various equipment on a retail basis.

The types of contracts we generally enter into are as follows:

·
Long term manufacturing and design contract – generally, contracts which have expected durations of more than twelve months.
·
Short term manufacturing contracts and orders – generally, orders for a specific unit which require less than twelve months of work to complete.
·
Remanufacturing orders and contracts – generally, orders for a specific unit and requires less than twelve months of work to complete.
·
Parts trading – generally, these orders are for parts that are not manufactured by the Company; and the Company buys and sells these parts with limited added value.
·
Study contracts – generally, these contracts are for general services related to the conducting of feasibility and proof of concept studies on items requested by the customer.
 
We have historically had success with forming partnerships with large, well-known OEM’s in the defense industry in order to develop our manufacturing and remanufacturing niche.  Based on these historic successes we recently entered into a licensing agreement with DRS Environmental Systems, Inc. (a subsidiary of DRS Technologies, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica S.p.A).  Management believes this agreement provides us with proprietary technical data to increase our manufacturing. With this data it is very likely we can get contracts on a sole-source basis to manufacture and remanufacture equipment which we have already been providing and manufacture other products we have not yet had the opportunity to provide.  We also believe this agreement could lead to higher volume contracts in the areas of our expertise.  As of the date of this report, we have not executed any definitive contracts under this agreement nor is there any assurance that we will in the near-term.

Results of Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company was in a very precarious financial position primarily related to the lack of success in obtaining the working capital necessary to pay our obligations timely which, correspondingly, prevented us from fulfilling our open customer orders; producing from our backlog; and generating sufficient operational cash flows. Due to the Company’s financial situation and lack of working capital, the Company significantly reduced its general and administrative expenses, and recognized approximately $157,000 on the settlement of the previously accrued obligation which resulted in the Company showing approximately 55% less in net operating loss from operations than the same period 2010.
 
The following is a detailed discussion of our results for the periods presented in this report:

Revenue

For the current period ended March 31 we recognized approximately $12,000 of revenue primarily related to finalizing immaterial open items on products that were in previous periods.  This substantial decline in revenue from the 2010 comparable period is a direct result of our inability to obtain parts and services from outside vendors necessary to complete and ship our products beginning in mid-2010.

If we are successful in obtaining the necessary additional capital we expect increases in our revenue in the second half of 2011 and into 2012.  These increases are expected to be substantially generated from the completion of the first phase of the USAF trailer program; the next phase of the trailer program in which we believe we will be able to achieve at a lower cost than that of the first; and expected orders obtained from our DRS licensing agreement as discussed in our Form 10-K filed on May 16, 2011; however, there are no assurances that these expectations will be realized.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales decreased from $1,015,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $94,286 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company believes that it will be able to achieve lower cost of sales if it is able to raise additional working capital and deliver on its backlog. Based on its previous experience management believes that profit margins will increase, but there can be no assurance that this will actually occur.
 
General and Administrative Expenses

Quarter ended March 31, 2011, our general and administrative expenses decreased by $260,693compared to the same period in 2010.  

In this quarter ended March 31, 2011, salaries accounted for approximately 30% of our general and administrative expenses which represented a decline from the comparable period in 2010 due to a reduction in our administrative staff in 2011.

Legal, accounting, and consulting fees, which accounted for approximately 8%of the total general and administrative expenses in 2011 due to increases in the costs of our annual audit; and reviews of our interim financial statements. The company experienced increases in our business and marketing consulting services in the first quarter of 2011.

Our other general and administrative expenses which primarily consist of utilities, travel to support our marketing and capital raising efforts, and rent, remained relative flat for the periods presented.
 
In quarter ended March 31, 2011, we were able reduce some of our general and administrative expenses through salary reductions with our officers, reductions in our overall workforce, and the elimination of consulting agreements.  We expect to maintain these reduced expense levels until such time we are able obtain additional financing and increase our manufacturing as discussed above.

Other Expenses

In quarter ended March 31, 2011, we experienced a slight increase in our other expenses primarily related to interest expense for our outstanding debt and debt extension incentives. We expect this to increase in 2011 through which time we are successful at either paying off the debt with cash or converting to shares of our common stock as many of these debts are in default and provide our creditors with penalty provisions as discussed in our notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Liquidity

We have produced poor financial results in Quarter ended March 31, 2011 from our operations even though we maintained a reasonable amount of backlog largely because of our inability to pay current obligations. The lack of working capital prohibited us from being able to execute a necessary amount of contract work during this quarter to meet these obligations timely.

In March, 2011, we successfully converted $300,000 of the aggregate principal amount of certain obligations into common shares of the Company at $ 0.15 per share which was at a premium to the market price of our common shares at the time of conversion.  At the same time, our Board of Directors approved the raising of up to $1,000,000 in equity through private placement offerings of our common shares of stock at $0.15 a share. To date, we have raised $356,000 through the private placement offering; however, there is no assurance we will achieve continued success.

 In April 2011, our Board of Directors, as an additional cost saving objective, approved the elimination of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phoenix Europe Ventures, Inc. which was based in Israel.

We have diverse customer payment arrangements in some of our contracts. Some payments are contingent upon delivery and have a net 30 payment schedule, while some customers make advances or allow milestone billing which allows financing of the production process; this is typical in all of our revenue streams.  Still, there are large outlays for materials and engineering that on occasion have caused delays in payments to our suppliers. Due to our large working capital deficit we have fallen behind in paying our suppliers, however, we have reached an understanding with some of our key suppliers to whom we owe money, whereby they will continue to supply us with products and services as long as we continue to make progress paying down existing past invoices. For new orders going forward in the near future, we anticipate that suppliers may require payment prior to shipment.

Our significant current obligations will continue to hamper our ability to generate significant cash flows from our operations for at least the first half of 2011.

Cash Flows

As noted above the Company has experienced poor operational cash flows beginning in late 2009 and continuing through 2010, and into early 2011.  Operational cash outlays were partly off-set by the deferral of a significant portion of vendor obligations.  The Company is no longer in a position to defer these payments and will require significant working capital infusions in the near future; failing which it may have to cease operations.

Investing activities through 2010 consisted only of equipment purchases essential to maintaining the reduced level of operations for much of the year.  At the present time, the Company does not believe that it will need to make significant capital expenditures for equipment purchases to begin to increase its level of business for the remainder of 2011.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as further discussed above, the Company was unsuccessful in obtaining significant capital through debt or equity financings.  As further noted above, in early 2011, the Company has begun an aggressive plan to raise capital primarily through private placements of equity or equity type securities.

Sources of Liquidity

In March 2011 new members were nominated to the Board and subsequently, the new Board approved to raise up to $1,000,000 by private placement of our common shares at $0.15 per share of which the Company has raised $356,000 as of the date of this report.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the much needed additional capital.

 In April 2011, the Company engaged the services of Strategic Global Advisors LLC an Investor Relations company to assist in generating market awareness of the Company.  

The Company’s plan, subject to being able to raise additional capital, is to generate cash from operations through its existing backlog and from obtaining new orders through its recently executed DRS agreement as discussed above. The US Armed Forces maintains a significant inventory of Ground Support Equipment that has been deployed in harsh environments which has led to worn out or unreliable Ground Support Equipment. Furthermore, obsolescence issues may require some equipment to be replaced with new equipment or be remanufactured. When this equipment returns from these environments, it requires major overhaul and maintenance.  The Company believes it has positioned itself to be at the forefront within this sector with our technical skills and licenses in place.

Debt Obligations

The Company is in the process of raising both equity capital through private placement and other debt financing to fund the working capital demand.  In March 2011, a group of three (3) note holders converted an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 in notes to equity.  Currently we are in default on most of our outstanding notes payable.  We have offered the same conversion terms and conditions to the other note holders.  To date we have been unsuccessful in converting additional notes, however, these negotiations are on-going.
 
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Please refer to our summary of significant accounting policies contained in the footnotes to consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies:

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Since these estimates are inherently uncertain, actual results may materially differ.

The following is a discussion of material accounting policies that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We are currently engaged in the manufacture of aircraft engine trailers for the United States Air Force (“USAF”).  Due to the long-term nature of the project we recognize revenue using the percentage of completion method.

The determination of the point or points at which revenue shall be recognized as earned and costs shall be recognized as expenses using the percentage completion method require significant judgment and input from our production personnel as well as our accounting department.  Accounting for this contract is essentially a process of measuring the results of relatively long-term events and allocating those results to relatively short-term accounting periods. This involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenues, costs, and profits and in assigning the amounts to accounting periods. The process is complicated by the need to evaluate continually the uncertainties inherent in the performance of contracts and by the need to rely on estimates of revenues, costs, and the extent of progress toward completion.

While the contract revenue amount is fixed, costs related to the contract require the development of reasonable estimates.  We generally obtain our estimates for materials, which we believe to be reasonable, based on vendor quotes for parts or purchase orders.  We rely on past experience with external consultants and knowledge gained from other similar products manufactured to determine our estimated indirect and labor costs.
 
We review and revise these estimates at least quarterly or when other circumstances indicate revision is necessary.  Revisions to our cost estimates can have material impacts on our financial position and results of operations.  For example, a 5% change in our cost estimates would result in an approximately $60,000 change in profit or additional losses related to the contract.

Item 4
Controls and Procedures
  
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving these objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
  
Our company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding and no legal proceeding is contemplated or threatened as of the date of this quarterly report.
 
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should only be considered by investors who can afford a total loss of their investment in our shares. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December31, 2010, before purchasing shares of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks described below are not the only ones we will face. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements

As a result of our loss from operations and working capital deficit as at March 31, 2011, our independent accountants have expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion and audit of our financial statements as at December 31, 2010 and for the fiscal year then ended.

We may fail to continue as a going concern, in which event you may lose your entire investment in our shares.

We have historically operated at a loss and may continue to do so. Failure to properly execute our current business plan may result in our inability to continue as a going concern. We require raising additional capital in order to sustain our ongoing operations.

We have historically incurred losses, have a working capital deficit, have significant accounts payable and until recently have been unable to pay our obligations. A substantial portion of our obligations are owed to key vendors which are critical to the operations in our business.  If we are unable to work out terms or pay in full within the near future it may have a material effect upon our ability to continue operations. We have minimal current assets to meet our outstanding obligations at March 31, 2011 and as of the date of this report. Although we obtained additional equity financing in early 2011 and used a portion of the proceeds to pay certain the above obligations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to pay ongoing obligations in the ordinary course of business as they occur in the future.
 
We could be liable to refund certain payments under our government contracts.
 
Under the Truth in Negotiations Act of 1962 (the “Negotiations Act”), the U.S. government has the right for three years after final payment on certain negotiated contracts, subcontracts and modifications, to determine whether we furnished the U.S. government with complete, accurate and current cost or pricing data as defined by the Negotiations Act. If we fail to satisfy this requirement, the U.S. government has the right to adjust a contract or subcontract price by the amount of any overstatement as defined by the Negotiations Act, and require us to refund any overstated charges.
 
Our ability to generate revenue is dependent upon our success in obtaining awards for a very narrow category of contracts.
 
Our ability to generate all of our revenues is dependent upon our success in obtaining awards for a very narrow category of aerospace and defense contracts. If we are not successful in receiving contracts from the U.S. government and/or U.S. defense industry contractors for any reason, including our failure to meet eligibility requirements, competition, our failure to perform under prior contracts, and/or changes in government and/or defense industry contracting policies, we would not generate sufficient revenue to continue in business.
  
 
-16-

 
In addition to the foregoing, we are subject to the following risks in connection with government contracts:
 
 
 
The frequent need to bid on programs prior to completing the necessary design, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and/or cost overruns;
 
 
 
The difficulty in forecasting long-term costs and schedules and the potential obsolescence of products related to long term fixed-price contracts;
 
 
 
The risk of fluctuations or a decline in government expenditure due to any changes in the US Department of Defense budget or appropriation of funds;
 
 
When we act as a subcontractor, the failure or inability of the primary contractor to perform its price contract may result in an inability to obtain payment of fees and contract costs;
 
 
 
Restriction or potential prohibition on the export of products based on licensing requirements; and
 
 
 
Government contract awards can be contested by other contractors.
 
  
We are dependent on major customers and any loss of these customers could have a substantial adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We generate significant amounts of our total sales from five major customers. The loss of any of these customers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

The termination of our ongoing government contracts or our inability to enter into additional government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We cannot assure you that an increase in defense spending will be allocated to programs that would benefit our business. The government's termination of, or failure to fully fund, one or more of the contracts for the programs in which we participate could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
 
 The risk that governmental purchases of products may decline stems from the nature of the our business with the U.S. government, in which the U.S. government may:
 
 
terminate contracts at its convenience;
     
 
terminate, reduce or modify contracts or subcontracts if its requirements or budgetary constraints change;
     
 
cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds become unavailable;
     
 
shift its spending priorities;
     
 
adjust contract costs and fees on the basis of audits done by its agencies; and
     
 
inquire about and investigate business practices and audit compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
  
 
-17-

 
Our failure to obtain and maintain required certifications could impair our ability to bid on aerospace and defense contracts.

We are required to maintain quality certification and to meet production standards in order to be eligible to bid on government contracts. If we fail to maintain these certifications or any additional certification which may be required, we will be ineligible to bid for contracts which would impair our ability to continue in business.

Because many of our contracts provide for a fixed price, our failure to accurately estimate costs could result in losses on the contracts.

In bidding on fixed price contracts, we must accurately estimate the cost of performance. To the extent that our costs exceed our estimate, we will lose money on the contracts. Such cost overruns could result from a number of factors including increases in costs of materials, an underestimation of the amount of labor required and design or production problems.

To the extent that we subcontract work under our contracts, any failures by our subcontractors could impair our relations with the contracting agencies.

We frequently use subcontractors to perform work or provide materials for our contracts. We are dependent upon the subcontractors to meet the quality and delivery requirements of the contracting agency. To the extent that the products or services provided by the subcontractors do not meet the required specifications or are delivered late, the contract may be terminated by the U.S. government for default. Such a default could result in our disqualification from bidding on contracts.

Product malfunctions or breakdowns could expose us to liability, particularly in connection with our remanufacturing of obsolete and old support equipment.

The risk that our support equipment may malfunction and cause loss of man hours, damage to, or destruction of, equipment or delays is significant. Consequently, we, as a manufacturer or remanufacturer of such support equipment, may be subject to claims if such malfunctions or breakdowns occur. In remanufacturing activities, we deal with obsolete and old equipment which increases the chance of product malfunctions or breakdowns. We do not presently maintain product liability insurance. 
 
If we are unable to attract and retain qualified engineering personnel, our ability to continue our business could be impaired.

Our business is dependent upon our engaging and retaining engineering personnel with experience in the aerospace and defense industries. To the extent that we are unable to hire and retain these engineers, our ability to bid on and perform contracts will be impaired.

We rely on our senior executive officer, the loss of whom would materially impair our operations.

We are dependent upon the continued employment of certain key employees, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Zahir Teja because of his experience and his contacts in this industry. We have entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Teja; however, the agreement does not assure us that he will continue to work for us since he may terminate his employment agreement on 90 days' notice. The loss of Mr. Teja would materially impair our operations.

Because of our small size and our relative lack of capital and resources, we may have difficulty competing for business.

We compete for contract awards directly with a number of large and small domestic and foreign defense contractors, including some of the largest national and international defense companies, as well as a large number of smaller companies.  Many of these competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources than we do.  Our relative lack of capital and resources may continue to place us in a competitive disadvantage.  If we are unable to compete successfully, our business may fail.
 
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock

Any additional funding we arrange through the sale of our common stock will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

We are seeking to raise additional capital through the sale of additional shares of common stock in order to meet our working capital needs and effectuate our business plan. Such stock issuances will cause stockholders' interests in our Company to be diluted and such dilution will negatively affect the value of the shares owned by our existing stockholders.
 
 
-18-

 
Our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our Board of Directors make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to the minority stockholders.

Mr. Zahir Teja, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and other members of our board of directors, directly or through their respective members of their families, control a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they have and will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and a change in control. The interests of Mr. Teja and/or our other directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other stockholders.
 
Currently, there is a limited public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any substantial public market will ever develop.

Currently, our stock is admitted for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board; however, there is presently no substantial public market for our common stock.  We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors. Even if we are successful in developing a public market, there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable stockholders to sell their stock. If an active public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased, rendering their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.

In addition, our common stock is not followed by any market analysts, and there are not institutions acting as market makers for the common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of our company, and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
 
Because we may be subject to “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks" are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
 
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
 
Please see our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for a detailed description of our securities issued through December 31, 2010.  The following provides an additional description of those equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and through the date of this report:

On March 22, 2011 the Company settled its previously accrued consulting fees with Anney Business Corp., a related entity, of $181, 211in exchange for 302,018 shares of common stock.  The Company reviewed the substance of the transaction in accordance with GAAP which indicates such settlements are generally recognized as capital contributions.  The Company’s management determined the substance of the transaction did not constitute a capital contribution, therefore, a gain of approximately $157,000 was recognized on the settlement of the previously accrued obligation.
 
On March 24, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,666,667 shares of common stock in exchange for $250,000 in cash to certain investors including our board members Messrs. Amit Barzelai, Uri Wittenberg and Hagai Langstadter.  As part of the issuance for cash, the Company issued 283,333 shares of common stock, with a fair market value of approximately $23,000, as reduction of equity for capital raising costs.
 
On March 24, 2011I the Company issued an aggregate of 2,265,057 shares of common stock in exchange for notes payable with a principal balance of $300,000 and accrued interest of $45,000.  Of the total amount settled, the entire amount was with related parties.
 
 
-19-

 
In April, 2011, we engaged the services of Strategic Global Advisors, LLC (“SGA”) as our investor relations consultant under a one year agreement calling for fees of $7,500 per month.  In addition we issued 500,000 shares to SGA and granted them a five year option to purchase an additional 500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
 
In April 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an agreement whereby $408,000 of accrued obligations owed by our Company to Zahir Teja, our President and Chief Executive Officer was converted into 2,720,000 additional shares of our common stock, at a conversion price of $0.15 per share.
 
In April 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional shares of its common stock to four members of our Board of Directors and granted to such persons options to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 additional shares at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.
 
In May 2011 $116,000 in cash was raised through the issuance of 773,333 shares of common stock.
 
Item 3.
Default upon Senior Securities.
 
As at the date of this Report, the Company is in default in its payment obligations with respect to $110,920 of notes payable.  Although the holders of these notes have not accelerated the indebtedness evidenced by such notes, and the Company is in discussions with certain of the note holders seeking to cause them to convert such notes to equity, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts, that it will obtain alternative equity or debt financing to enable it to retire such defaulted notes, or that the holders of such notes will not accelerate the indebtedness and commence legal proceedings to collect.
