PART I



ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Background


Oxford Technologies Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 8, 2002, as a blank check company for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with operating history and assets.  In furtherance of our business plan, on June 10, 2002, we voluntarily filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The registration statement became effective on or about August 10, 2002.


On January 24, 2003, Waywood Investment Ltd. (“Waywood”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Great Admirer Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, ("Great Admirer"), pursuant to which Great Admirer acquired 85%, or 4,250,000 shares, of our then issued and outstanding common stock from Waywood.


On February 12, 2003, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Great Admirer, pursuant to which we issued 13,564,002 shares of our common stock to Great Admirer in exchange for all issued and outstanding capital shares of Axiom Manufacturing Services Limited ("Axiom") on a one-to-one basis. Axiom is an electronics manufacturing service provider in the United Kingdom and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Admirer. As a result of this transaction, Axiom becomes our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the shareholders of Axiom became our controlling shareholders. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition.


Axiom was incorporated in South Wales, United Kingdom on September 3, 1980, under the name of Aiwa (UK) Ltd., as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aiwa Co., Ltd. of Japan, to engage in the business of consumer electronics manufacturing.  The name of Aiwa (UK) Ltd. was changed in June 1997 to Aiwa Wales Manufacturing Limited ("AWM"), which was changed again to Axiom Manufacturing Services Limited on April 10, 2002, as a result of the Acquisition of AWM by Great Admirer. Whatever organizational and acquisition costs incurred by Aiwa/Axiom were recorded on the books of Axiom.


Axiom was acquired by Great Admirer on April 10, 2002. Great Admirer was a non-operating shell company and incurred minimal costs to acquire Axiom, and therefore there was no need for adjustment for any costs incurred by Great Admirer to be "pushed down" in the accounts of Axiom.  Additionally, prior to the sale of Aiwa (UK) Ltd., now Axiom, Sony/Aiwa forgave US $11,864,000 of inter-company debt which Axiom recorded as paid-in capital under US GAAP and Sony/Aiwa did not incur any other costs that were required to be "pushed down" to Axiom for the completion of this transaction.


Prior to the acquisition by Great Admirer in April 2002, Axiom had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aiwa Europe Ltd., which was itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aiwa Co., Ltd, which was effectively acquired by Sony Corporation on October 1, 2002. As the sole original equipment manufacturer of Aiwa's own-brand consumer electronics products in Europe, Axiom was responsible for manufacturing Aiwa brand consumer electronics products, primarily audio and visual products, on behalf of Aiwa Co. of Japan, for distribution in the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands and Poland.


Axiom, as a subsidiary of Aiwa Europe Ltd., was a redundant manufacturing facility in Europe and Sony/Aiwa Company arranged for its sale to Great Admirer. Sony/Aiwa, rather than abandoning the facility, considered the need of the local economy and thus arranged for the transfer of ownership.


This transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby, under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, after completion of the merger, Oxford filed prior historical financial information of Axiom, on a stand-alone basis, for the year prior to the acquisition (12/31/2002). The continuing operations of the Registrant reflect the consolidated operations of Oxford and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Axiom, commencing on January 1, 2003. The acquisition of Axiom by Great Admirer was treated as a reverse merger in accordance with purchase accounting under APB 16.


Axiom (formerly Aiwa Wales Manufacturing Limited) was responsible for manufacturing Aiwa brand consumer electronics products, primarily audio and visual products on behalf of Aiwa Japan, for distribution in Europe. In December 2000, due to a gradually decreasing profit margin, Axiom began to provide electronic manufacturing services (EMS) to third parties. In July 2001, Aiwa brand products were terminated and Axiom became entirely an EMS provider in the markets of telecommunication equipment, computer and related products, video, audio, and entertainment products, industrial control equipment, testing and instrumentation products and medical devices.  Axiom offers its customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to volume production, direct order fulfillment and aftermarket support.

Axiom's principal offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Technology Park, Newbridge, South Wales, United Kingdom. Axiom owns the above-mentioned facilities, which occupies approximately 26.80 acres.  Axiom has a website, whose address is www.axiom-ms.com.


Description of the Business


The Company, through its subsidiary Axiom, provides electronics manufacturing services in the business to business or business to industry sectors and to original equipment manufacturers in the following market sectors:


O

Medical devices

O

Industrial control equipment

O

Domestic appliances

O

Computer and related products

O

Testing and instrumentation products


As a result of efficiently managing costs and assets, Axiom is able to offer its customers an outsourcing solution that represents a lower total cost of acquisition than that typically provided by the OEM's own manufacturing operation. OEM's contract with Axiom is for Axiom to build their products or to obtain services related to product development and prototyping, volume manufacturing or aftermarket support.  In many cases Axiom builds products that carry the brand name of its customers and substantially all of Axiom's manufacturing services are provided on a turnkey basis where Axiom purchases customer specific components from suppliers, assembles the components onto printed circuit boards, performs post production testing and provides the customer with production process and test documentation. Axiom also provides manufacturing services on a consignment basis where material is free issued by the customer for Axiom to build into finished printed circuit boards or products. Axiom offers its customers flexible just in time delivery programs which allow product shipments to be closely coordinated with the customers' inventory requirements.  Additionally Axiom completes the assembly of final product for its customers by integrating the manufactured printed circuit boards into the customers finished products.


Axiom operates in several sectors within the electronics and technology markets with most of its customers being located within the United Kingdom.


The Company's Services


The Company believes that demand from OEM's for an integrated outsourcing solution is increasing and that more and more OEM's are looking for a collaborative relationship. By providing a total solution that includes a full range of services allowing it to take customer products from initial design through production to testing, distribution and after market support, we believe that the company is well placed to provide the partnership solution OEM's require. The service offered includes:


Engineering and Design  The Company offers engineering, design, prototyping and related services that help its customers design their products for optimal manufacturing and testing. The Company's electrical, mechanical and packaging engineers provide customers with circuit design, printed circuit board layout, mechanical and test fixture design services. The Company also provides design for procurement, design for manufacture and design for test services. The Company's design for procurement service identifies areas where the overall cost of the customers' products can be reduced through lower material costs and effective inventory management. The Company's design for manufacture service seeks to achieve defect-free and cost-effective product designs, reduce the product development cycle, create high initial production yields and establish superior product quality. The design for test service focuses on achieving the highest level of fault detection and isolation before products are shipped.


Materials Procurement and Management   Materials procurement and management consists of planning, purchasing, expediting and warehousing of components and materials. The company's inventory management and volume procurement capability contributes to cost reductions and reduces overall cycle times.


Product Assembly and System Integration  The Company offers assembly and manufacturing services which include assembly of electronic subsystems of final product as well as final assemblies incorporating printed circuit board assemblies, complex electromechanical subassemblies, enclosures, power supplies and other components. In addition, the Company's ability to build and configure product to order enables it to postpone final configuration of the customers' product until the end-user specifications are received, thus reducing finished inventory levels for both the Company and its customers. The Company builds a wide range of final products and believes it is well placed to take advantage of the anticipated acceleration in outsourcing of final product assembly and integration.


Testing  The Company offers computer-aided testing of assembled printed circuit boards, subassemblies and finished product, which contributes significantly to its ability to deliver high-quality products on a consistent basis. Its test capabilities include manufacturing defect analysis, in circuit tests to check the integrity of the circuits within the board,



- 6 -




and functional tests using its own custom designed test equipment and software or equipment and software supplied by its customers. The Company can also provide environmental stress tests of circuit boards and finished products and works with its customers to develop test strategies.



Logistics and Distribution  The Company configures and ships customers' products, provides final product packaging and distribution services for completed products as well as direct order fulfillment. It is increasingly delivering final product directly to its customers' distribution channels and to its customers' end-users. The Company believes that these services complement its comprehensive manufacturing solution, and enables its customers to be more responsive to changing market demands and enables them to get their product to market more efficiently and at a lower total cost.


After-Market Services  The Company provides a range of after-market services, including repair, refurbishment, re-manufacturing, system upgrades and spare part manufacture. These services are supported by specific information systems and testing technologies and can be tailored to meet the requirements of each customer.


Business Strategy


The goal of the Company is to be the electronics manufacturing services outsourcing provider for leading original equipment manufacturers in high growth segments of the electronics industry. To meet this goal, the Company intends to implement the following strategies: Maintain and develop close, long-term relationships with Customers.  The Company's core strategy is to maintain and establish long-term relationships with leading original equipment manufacturers in expanding industries by becoming an integral part of its customers' manufacturing operations. To this end, the Company works closely with its customers throughout the design, manufacturing and distribution process, where the Company offers a flexible and responsive service.  The Company develops strong customer relationships through dedicated account management teams who respond to frequently changing customer design specifications and production requirements.


Focus on high-end products in high growth sectors.  The Company as a relative newcomer to the OEM market place has positioned itself as a supplier of low volume, high added value services in niche markets. Its customers typically fall in the consumer, industrial, military, office equipment and medical sectors with the products manufactured ranging from easy to assemble low cost high volume products for the consumer market to complicated, state of the art, mission critical electronic hardware. The Company's ability to offer both of these services enables it to maintain and expand its customer base.


Deliver complete high and low volume manufacturing solutions globally. The Company believes original equipment manufacturers increasingly require a wide range of specialized engineering and manufacturing services in order that they can reduce their costs and accelerate their time to market and time to volume production. Building on its integrated engineering and manufacturing capabilities, the Company offers services from initial product design and test to final product assembly and distribution to the original equipment manufacturers' customers. This full service capability allows the Company to offer its customers the flexibility to move quickly from design and new product introduction to commercial production and distribution.


Enhance the Company's integrated design, manufacturing and related services. The Company intends to continue to enhance its service offerings to meet the needs of its customers and to control and manage more effectively the supply chain. The Company has expanded its engineering and design capabilities and invested in its new product introduction services and believes that its ability to support customers in these areas provides it with an insight into its customers' future manufacturing requirements.


Generating increased levels of business from the Company's existing Customers and expansion of its Customer base. The Company believes that organically growing the level of business from its existing customers and expanding its customer base are critical to its future success. The Company continually evaluates the requirements of its existing customers, and looks for opportunities to provide them with additional services thereby strengthening the relationship and increasing the customers' dependence on the Company thus creating long term business relationships.


The Company pursues new customers by focusing marketing effort on selected sectors and customers, and increasing its brand awareness to win new business.


Marketing and Customers


The Company's customer base is primarily in the United Kingdom.  The Company markets its services through selective media advertising, telemarketing, leveraging its contacts in the supply chain and direct contact by sales staff. The following table shows the percentages of the Company's sales by industry sector for the last two years.

The Company uses a number of database products to identify market sectors and customers and then uses an external telemarketing company to identify the decision makers for a direct approach from the Company's sales force.


Suppliers


The Company maintains a network of suppliers of components and other material used in assembling products, and procures components when a purchase order or forecast is received from a customer. The majority of components are industry standard and available from a number of alternative suppliers but a number of custom-made components are used and in this case a supplier may be the single source of supply. For the year ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, there was one supplier who accounted for more than 10% of the Company's purchases.


The Company procures components only when a purchase order has been received from the customer. Although the Company may experience component shortages and long lead times on some components from time to time, the Company has generally been able to reduce the impact of these shortages by working with customers to reschedule deliveries and by purchasing components from alternative sources of supply albeit at slightly higher prices.


Research and Development


For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were no product research and development expenses. The Company has no current plan to conduct any product research and development activities in the next twelve months.


Order Backlog


We do not believe that a backlog as of any particular date is indicative of future results. Because customers may cancel or reschedule deliveries during the agreement term to reflect changes in the customer’s needs. In light of industry practice and our experience, we do not believe that such agreements are meaningful for determining backlog amounts.


Patents and Trademarks


We do not own any patents or trademarks.


Competition


The electronic manufacturing services industry is highly competitive. A number of the Company's competitors are substantially larger, have greater financial, operating, manufacturing and marketing resources and have a broader geographic breadth and range of services. As more OEM’s dispose of their manufacturing assets and increase their use of outsourcing, the Company faces increasing pressure to grow its business in order to maintain its competitive position.


Environmental Matters


The Company's operations are subject to certain national and local regulatory requirements relating to the environment, health and safety and waste management, and the use, release, storage, treatment, transportation, discharge, disposal and clean-up of hazardous substances and wastes, as well as practices and procedures applicable to the construction and operation of our plants. The Company is in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements and has achieved ISO 14001, an internationally recognized award. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements.


The Company periodically generates and temporarily handles limited amounts of material that are considered hazardous



- 8 -




waste under applicable law. The Company contracts for the off-site disposal of these materials and has implemented a waste management program to address related regulatory issues. The current costs of compliance are not material to the Company, and the Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to incur significant costs or liabilities related to environmental or health and safety regulation compliance in the future. Nevertheless, additional or modified requirements may be imposed in the future which may result in the Company incurring additional expenditure.


Employees


The Company currently has 202 permanent employees. Fluctuations in workload may result in the Company hiring temporary workers. Five percent of the Company's employees are represented by the General Municipal Boilermakers Union. The Company considers its employee relations to be good. The Company does not expect significant changes in the number of employees in the next twelve months.




ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


RISK FACTORS


The shares of common stock offered by this 10-K involve a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information set forth in this prospectus, before you purchase these shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we have identified as material.  If any of the events contemplated by the following discussion of risks should occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.  As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment in our common stock.


Risks Related to Our Business


We have experienced losses in the past, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability.


Although we generated net income of $608,000 for December 31, 2008 and net income of $1,159,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, our accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2008 was $15.5 million. We may incur additional losses in the future, and we may not sustain profitability, which may cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.


We need additional capital to implement our current business strategy, which may not be available to us, and if we raise additional capital, it may dilute your ownership in us.


We currently depend on invoice discounting, bank loans and finance lease agreements to meet our short-term cash requirements. In order to grow revenues and sustain profitability, we will need additional capital. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any arrangements for financing.  Obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any additional financing. If we are unable to obtain the financing needed to implement our business strategy, our ability to increase revenues will be impaired and we may not be able to sustain profitability.


We have no long-term manufacturing contracts from our customers, and reductions, cancellations or delays in customer orders would adversely affect our operating results.


As is typical in the electronics manufacturing service industry, we do not usually obtain long-term manufacturing orders or commitments from our customers. In addition, customers may cancel their orders, change production quantities or delay production for a number of reasons beyond our control. A significant number of cancellations, reductions or delays in orders by our customers would reduce our revenues and because many of our costs are fixed, this reduction in sales will have a disproportionate adverse effect on our operating results.


We are dependent upon a few large customers, and the loss of any of those customers, or their inability to pay, could materially reduce our revenues, liquidity and cash flows.


A substantial portion of our revenues has been derived from our five largest customers, three of them accounted for 10% or more of our total sales. For the years ended December 31 2008 and 2007 sales to those five largest customers accounted for approximately 90%, 81% and 80% of our total sales, respectively. The loss of any of those customers, or their inability to pay, could materially reduce our revenues, liquidity and cash flows.





- 9 -





Our quarterly operating results, revenues and expenses may fluctuate significantly which could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.


Our operating results, revenues and expenses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors including:


·

the timing, size and execution of orders and shipments,


·

lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles,


·

changes in our operating expenses,


·

changes in exchange rates, and


·

fluctuations in general economic conditions.


We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of future performance. It is possible that our operating results will be below your expectations.  In that event, the trading price of our common stock will fall.


We potentially bear the risk of price increases associated with shortages in the availability of electronics components.


At various times, there have been shortages of components in the electronics industry, leading to increased component prices. After receiving manufacturing orders, we purchase electronics components to manufacture our customers' products. Although we work with both customers and suppliers to minimize the impact of such shortages, we potentially bear the risk of price increases for these components if we are unable to purchase components at the price level anticipated to support the margins assumed in our agreements with our customers.


We operate in a competitive business environment and if we cannot compete effectively, we may never become profitable.


The market for our products and services is intensely competitive and subject to technological change. Competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services they offer. We compete in the United Kingdom with many large and small companies, to provide electronics manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers. Some of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, engineering, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer demands or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products or services than we can. If we cannot compete effectively, we may never become profitable.


If we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes in our industry, we could lose existing customers and be unable to attract new business.


The electronics manufacturing service market in which we operate is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. We expect our competitors to provide new and additional service offerings, which will compete with, and reduce the demand for, our services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to enhance the service offering introduce new technologies and processes to keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards, and to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers. If we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes in our industry, we could lose existing customers and be unable to attract new business.


Our success depends on the continuing trend of original equipment manufacturers to outsource.  Uncertainties and adverse trends affecting the electronics industry or any of our major customers may adversely affect our operating results.


Our revenue growth is dependent upon the continuing trend of original equipment manufacturers to outsource. To the extent that there are no new outsourcing opportunities, our future growth would be unfavorably impacted.  In addition, our business depends on the electronics industry, which is subject to rapid technological changes, short product life cycles and pricing and margin pressure. When these factors adversely affect our customers, we may suffer similar effects.






- 10 -




Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the British Pound Sterling and the United States dollar may adversely affect our operating results.


The functional currency of our operations in the United Kingdom is British Pound Sterling. Results of our operations are translated at average exchange rates into United States dollars for financial reporting purposes. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities. We have not entered into any foreign currency derivative financial instruments; however, we may choose to do so in the future in an effort to manage or hedge our foreign currency risk.


Our assets and officers/directors are located outside of the U.S.; it is difficult to affect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon us and our officers and directors.


Our assets, our officers and directors are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States and enforce judgment of the US courts obtained against us and our executive officers and directors. Particularly, our stockholders may not able to:


·

effect service of process within the United States on us or any of our executive officers and directors;


·

enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws;


·

enforce, in a court outside of the United States, judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; and


·

bring an original action in a court outside of the United States to enforce liabilities against us or any of our executive officers and directors based upon the U.S. federal securities laws.



Risks Related to Investment in Our Securities


Our principal stockholder controls a substantial portion of our common stock; investors will have little control over our management or other matters requiring stockholder approval.


Great Admirer Ltd., our principal stockholder, currently owns approximately 94.4% of our outstanding common stock, giving it the ability to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval and to control our management and affairs, including the election of our directors; the acquisition or disposition of our assets, the future issuance of our shares and approval of other significant corporate transactions. It may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests.


There is no and there may never be a public market for our common stock shares, which may make it difficult for stockholders to sell their shares.


There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. We intend to apply for quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, there is no assurance that our shares will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for stockholders to sell their stock.


Our common stock is deemed to be a penny stock.  As a result, trading of our shares may be subject to special requirements that could impede our stockholders' ability to resell their shares.


The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. As defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act, penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.


Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Exchange Act require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.  Moreover, Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.  This procedure requires the broker-dealer to:





- 11 -




·

obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives;


·

reasonably determine, based on that information, that transaction in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has significant knowledge and experience to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions;


·

provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and


·

receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from such investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objects.


Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell the shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.

Overview


The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 8, 2002, as a blank check company. On February 12, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of Axiom Manufacturing Services Ltd. ("Axiom") with the exchange and issuance of 13,564,002 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Merger"). Although the Company is the legal survivor in the Merger and remains the registrant with the SEC, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, whereby Axiom is considered the "Acquirer" for financial reporting purposes as its stockholders controlled more than 50% of the post transaction combined company. Among other matters, this requires us to present all financial statements, prior historical financial and other information concerning Axiom, and requires a retroactive restatement of Axiom's historical stockholders investment for the equivalent number of shares of common stock received in the Merger. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements present the results of operations of Axiom for the year ended December 31, 2002, and reflect the acquisition of the Company on February 12, 2003, under the purchase method of accounting.  Subsequent to February 12, 2003, the Company's operations reflect the combined operations of the former Oxford and Axiom.


The Company conducts its business through its subsidiary, Axiom Manufacturing Services Limited. Prior to its acquisition by Great Admirer Ltd. in April 2002, Axiom was a wholly owned subsidiary of Aiwa Europe Limited, which was itself a wholly owned subsidiary of the Aiwa Company of Japan. The Aiwa Company of Japan was effectively acquired by Sony Corporation on October 1, 2002. As the sole original equipment manufacturer of Aiwa's own brand



- 13 -




products in Europe, Axiom was responsible for producing consumer electronics products, primarily audio and visual products for distribution in the UK, France, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. In December 2000, due to gradually declining profit margins, Axiom started to provide electronic manufacturing services (EMS) for third parties and in July 2001 production of all Aiwa branded products was terminated, with Axiom becoming solely an EMS provider. On March 31, 2002, Axiom completed its first full year of operations as a contract electronics manufacturing services provider.


On July 29, 2008 the company acquired 100% of the share capital (1,000 shares) of Axiom M S Limited (“AMS”).


The Company provides electronics manufacturing services in the business to business or business to industry sectors and to original equipment manufacturers in the following market sectors:


O

Medical devices

O

Industrial control equipment

O

Domestic appliances

O

Ministry of Defense products

O

Computer and related products

O

Testing and instrumentation products


As a result of efficiently managing costs and assets, Axiom is able to offer its customers an outsourcing solution that represents a lower total cost of acquisition that that typically provided by the OEM's own manufacturing operation. OEM contracts with Axiom to build their products or to obtain services related to product development and prototyping, volume manufacturing or aftermarket support. In many cases, Axiom builds products that carry the brand name of its customers. Substantially all of Axiom's manufacturing services are provided on a turnkey basis where Axiom purchases customer specific components from suppliers, assembles the components onto printed circuit boards, performs post production testing and provides the customer with production process and test documentation. Axiom also provides manufacturing services on a consignment basis where material is free issued by the customer for Axiom to build into finished printed circuit boards or product. Axiom offers its customers flexible just in time delivery programs which allow product shipments to be closely coordinated with the customers' inventory requirements. Additionally Axiom completes the assembly of final product for its customers by integrating the manufactured printed circuit boards into the customers finished products.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007


Revenues


Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $32.7 million representing a decrease of $2.37 million, or 6.8%, as



- 14 -




compared to $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The sterling value of revenue actually increased by £ 263,965 from December 2007 to December, 2008, however the dollar rate dropped significantly during the year hence showing the dollar value of turnover decreasing. In 2007 Ideal boilers moved their products to off shore manufacturing adding to additional loss in sales. The number of customers remained constant at 22 as of December 31, 2008.


Cost of Sales


Cost of sales consists of the material cost of goods sold, direct overhead, direct wages, and direct depreciation expense. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company's cost of sales was $29.1 million as compared to $30.8 million for the year ended December 31 2007 which was a decrease of $1.7 million, or 5%. The Company attributes this decrease mainly to a decrease in sales. The cost of sales as a percentage of sales has remained constant at 89% between the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, plus restructuring costs. These were $4.94 million in 2008 as compared to $4.37million in 2007, an increase of $0.57million, or 13%.


The increased level of expenditures in 2008 is due to higher spending on recruitment, indirect wages and salaries, rental of a new SMT line, certification fees, sundry freight and car expenses.


Rental Income and Economic Development Grant


For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company's rental income decreased by $95,000 to $1,110,000 compared with $1,205,000 for the same period of the previous year. The decrease in rental income was as a result of a reduction in the agreed letting fee with one of the existing tenants.


For the year ended December 31, 2008, the government economic development grant was amortized in the amount of $1,185,000 as compared to $562,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The grant was made by the Welsh Assembly Government to Axiom under Section 7 of the Industrial Development Act 1982: Regional Selective Assistance Grants to assist with a project to purchase the land, buildings and plant and machinery for contract electronics manufacture at Technology Park, Newbridge, Newport, United Kingdom. The grant is payable in two installments:


(i)    When Axiom has defrayed $13.2million on fixed assets for the project and secured 180 jobs, $5.09million payable.


(ii)   At least 1 year after the first installment when Axiom has defrayed $14.0million in total and 180 jobs safeguarded and a further 70 new full time jobs created, $966,000 payable. This has now been revised downwards to 180 jobs safeguarded and a further 35 new full time jobs created, $322,000 payable.


The $4.7million was paid over in July 2002 as cash into Axiom's bank account following the securing of 180 jobs and defraying the planned capital expenditure. Followed by a further $392,000 in September 2006.  Failure to maintain at least 180 full time jobs will lead to part or all of the grant being repaid. The Welsh Assembly government may require the grant to be repaid under the following circumstances for a period starting with final payment of the grant and ending either 18 months later, or 5 years after the first payment of grant whichever is longer under the following circumstances:


 1.

If progress to the job target is not satisfactory (initial 180 jobs and then a further 35 jobs);


2.

If the number of jobs created/safeguarded is not maintained;


3.

The Company becomes insolvent or makes a voluntary agreement with its creditors or goes into liquidation or takes or suffers any steps preparatory to winding up the Company or the appointment of an Administrator, Liquidator or Receiver or commits or suffers any act equivalent to the foregoing;


4.

There is a change of ownership or control of the Company;


5.

For a period of more than 6 months, the company ceases to own or stops using for the purposes of the project part or all of the premises or specified assets;


6.

 If any information given in the grant application process changes substantially or is shown to be incorrect or misleading or any claim for a grant is based on misleading information;


7.

The Company fails to comply with the terms of the grant letter or Schedules;




- 15 -




8.

The preconditions in the offer letter are not maintained or the guarantee becomes ineffective (preconditions are that Sen. Hong Resources acquires the business and assets of Aiwa Wales Manufacturing Limited, the National Assembly for Wales has a first charge over the land and buildings at Technology Park, Newbridge, and the valuation report dated September 11, 2001 is also addressed to the National Assembly for Wales and shows no material adverse changes).


Interest Income


There is interest income for year ending December 31, 2008 of $80,000 compared to interest income for year ending December 31, 2007, of $81,000.


Interest Expense


Interest expense for the year ended December 31 2008, was $478,000 which shows an increase of $73,000 or 18% compared to $405,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.


Net Income


As a result of the factors discussed above, the Company reported net income of $.61million for the year ended December 31 2008, as compared to a net income of $1.2 million for the previous year. This resulted in basic and diluted net income per share of $0.03 on weighted average common shares outstanding of 18,564,002 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to net income per share of $0.06 on weighted average common shares outstanding of 18,564,002 for the year ended December 31, 2007.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Since 2002, we have been financed primarily through cash flow generated through operations, the Welsh Assembly Government grant, and to a lesser extent, limited short term financing. Our primary uses of cash are for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.


In July 2002, we received a grant in aid of $4,700,000 from Welsh Assembly Government in the UK. This was followed by a further $392,000 in September 2006. The funding was made available to safeguard jobs following the decision by Aiwa Europe Ltd. to end production at Newbridge. The Welsh Assembly Government has been given security in the form of a first lien on the land and buildings at Technology Park, Newbridge and has the right to require repayment of part or all of the grant under certain circumstances. We have treated the grant in aid as deferred income and recognized a monthly amortization, based upon a formula, to reduce expenses.


Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.45million and $.21 at December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.


Operating activities   During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, operating activities provided $1.7million compared to using $3.0million in 2007. The cash mainly came from an increase in collections of receivables during 2008.


Investing activities    Cash used by investing activities totaled $2.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $.655 million in 2007. Our investing activities primarily consist of capital expenditures related to purchases of property and equipment.


Financing activities   During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, cash provided by financing activities was $2.2million consisting of checks in excess of bank accounts of $.84million. Capital in the amount $.101 million was also contributed during the year ended December 31, 2008. Financing activities in 2007 provided $3.7million of cash.


Some of our short-term liquidity needs were met by invoice discounting, finance lease arrangements, inter-company and bank loans. Our banking facilities comprise an invoice discounting facility with a maximum advance limit of $3,800,940 subject to the level of qualifying sales invoiced and a bank overdraft limit of $146,190. Interest rates are calculated with reference to bank base rates. At December 31, 2008 interest on invoice discounting facility was charged at 2% above Base (our accounts receivable is collateral for this arrangement), , the inter-company loan interest rate is 5%, the finance lease agreements have varying interest rates ranging from 6% to 7.5% and the note payable demands an interest rate of 8%.


The following summarizes our debt and other contractual obligations at December 31, 2008:








- 16 -





          Description                  Amount                             Term

----------------------------  --------------------   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invoice discounting          $  2,430,000        Ongoing until facility terminated

Long term loan                 $  1,273,000        Payable in full on December 31, 2009

Inter-company Loan         $     620,000

Finance lease agreements $  1,057,000         Mix of 3 & 10 yr term commencing August 2005 to Dec 2008

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Total                            $ 5,380,000


The inter-company loans are not eliminated on consolidation, as the loans were from related parties which do not get consolidated with Oxford Technologies Inc. The breakdown for the consolidated balances is shown below:


Accounts payable related party

$152,000

Capital lease current portion             $115,000

Capital lease non-current portion

$353,000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$620,000


As of the date of this report, we are in compliance with all covenants under our existing credit facilities.


For the next two or three years, we will need to spend more capital on the acquisition of further plant, machinery and computer equipment which will enable us to remain competitive in our product offering, and ensure compliance with new European Commission directives as well as responding to changes in technology - smaller components, larger printed circuit boards.


In the event that adequate funding is not available from existing credit facilities, we would consider leasing or working with existing lenders to identify additional sources of financing. We have no current plans to make significant capital expenditures. At present we do not have any arrangements for financing except those mentioned above. While there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient funds over the next twelve months, we believe that funds generated from operations plus borrowings under our invoice discounting facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating expenses, capital expenditure and debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. Nevertheless, our continuing operating and investing activities may require us to obtain additional sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any necessary additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Seasonality


The Company does not believe that seasonality has had a material effect on its operations.


Inflation


The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its operations.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from the Company's current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, the Company believes revenue recognition and accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are two critical accounting policies that involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.


Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 104 requires that revenue generally can be recognized when all of the following four criteria are met: (1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on



- 17 -




management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts.


Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period in which the related sales are recorded.  The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time when the Company and its customers jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.


Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance is calculated based upon the evaluation and the level of past due accounts and the relationship with, and the economic status of, the Company's customers. The Company analyzes historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.


The Company's customer base consists of 15 long term customers and relationships with Customer staff are maintained across the Company's business including the finance department. Most of the revenue growth comes from customers for whom the Company has provided an EMS service for some time and who have a strong financial status. Accounts receivable issues are identified and resolved with the customer prior to the date at which the invoice falls due for payment and issues escalated and resolved through the sales force if necessary. Equally late payments are followed up promptly to ensure the earliest identification of problems and that further product is not shipped to compound the problem. Thus the accounts receivable ledger reflects receivables which are current or one month past due and therefore the need for an allowance for doubtful debts are small.


Inventories and Reserves


Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Work in progress is valued based on materials at cost, labour time and a proportion of overhead costs. On an annual basis the Company takes a physical inventory verifying the materials on hand and comparing its perpetual records to physical counts.


Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”  (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS no. 141R on its consolidated financial statements.


In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.51” (“SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the non-controlling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15 2008. Since FAS 161 only provides for additional disclosure requirements, there will be no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.





- 18 -




In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). This Standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Standard is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. FAS 162 is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). This statement clarifies accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. SFAS 163 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15 2008. Because the Company does not issue financial guarantee insurance contracts, it does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an effect on its financial position or results of operations.


In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Application of this FSP is not currently applicable to the Company as the Company’s intangible assets consist of land used rights which has a fixed useful life of 50 years.


In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.


This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this FSP. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. 


Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008.  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.


As used herein, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms issued by the SEC.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Despite the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008, we had a control deficiency so that we failed to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 within the time periods specified by the SEC.  The delay was largely the result of (i) later start of our audit process, and (ii) inadequate coordination between our operating subsidiary’s statutory auditors in the UK and our registered public accounting firm in the US.


The deficiency as mentioned above is neither a material weakness nor a significant deficiency under the definitions of Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.  When considering the effect of other compensating controls, such deficiency had no impact on our disclosure controls and procedures, and had no impact on our internal control over financial reporting and financial reporting per se.  


Following our 2008 Annual Report, we have taken measures to address such deficiency through the following actions:


•    Start our annual audit and quarterly review earlier; and


•    Perform additional procedures to ensure better coordination between our UK auditors and US registered public accounting firm.


We will continue to consider measures to improve the quality and timeliness of reporting and will continue to evaluate and address any issues we identify relating to the processes and resources necessary for effective disclosure controls and procedures.


(b) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting


The management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. 


The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally



- 20 -




accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;


(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and


(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have adopted the framework prescribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and the related guidance provided in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies, also issued by COSO.

 

Based on our evaluation of our internal controls as of December 31, 2008, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


(c) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




Officers and Directors

Oxford Technologies, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oxford Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Oxford Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OXFORD TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007


NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Oxford Technologies Inc. ("the Company") and its subsidiary, Axiom Manufacturing Services Limited ("Axiom") provide electronic manufacturing services (EMS) to third parties in the markets of telecommunication equipment, computers and related products, video/audio/entertainment products, industrial control equipment, testing and instrumentation products and medical devices. Axiom offers its customers comprehensive and integrated design and manufacturing services, from initial product design to volume production, direct order fulfillment and aftermarket support. The Company's customer base is primarily in the United Kingdom.


The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 8, 2002. On February 12, 2003, the Company acquired Axiom by issuing 13,564,002 shares of its common stock in exchange for all issued and outstanding capital shares of Axiom that were owned by Great Admirer Limited ("Great Admirer"), a Hong Kong corporation. The Company, as the legal acquirer, was the registrant on that date and remains the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result of the acquisition, Axiom became the Company's wholly owned subsidiary and Great Admirer became the controlling stockholder of the Company. The continuing operations of the Company will reflect the consolidated operations of Oxford and its wholly owned subsidiary, Axiom.


At the time Great Admirer acquired Axiom in April 2002, Great Admirer was a non-operating shell company and incurred minimal costs to acquire Axiom. Therefore, no costs incurred by Great Admirer were recorded in the accounts of Axiom.


Axiom's principal offices and manufacturing facilities are located at Technology Park, Newbridge, South Wales, United Kingdom. Axiom is the owner of the above-mentioned facility.


Axiom was incorporated in South Wales, United Kingdom on September 3, 1980, under the name of Aiwa (UK) Ltd. Axiom's name was changed to Axiom Manufacturing Services Limited on April 10, 2002.


On July 29, 2008 the company acquired 100% of the share capital (1,000 shares) of Axiom M S Limited (“AMS”).


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the transactions of the Company and its subsidiary.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Net Income/ (Loss) Per Common Share - Basic net income/ (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income/ (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.


Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Foreign Currency Translation - The functional currency of the Company's operations in the UK is the British Pound Sterling. The financial statements of the Company were translated to US dollars using year-end exchange rates for the balance sheets and weighted average exchange rates for the statements of operations and statements of cash flows. Equity transactions were translated using historical rates. Foreign currency translation gains or losses as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates are reflected in the statements of stockholders’ equity in total comprehensive income or loss.


Revenue Recognition - Sales revenues are generally recognized when an agreement exists and price is determinable, the products are shipped to the customers or services are rendered, net of discounts, returns and allowance and collectibility is reasonably assured. In excess of 99% of both revenues generated and the cost of sale incurred relate to the EMS service offering (manufacturing of OEM customer products) with the remaining percentage of revenue and cost of sale relating to the provision of a market return and repair service.


Warranty – all products manufactured are warranted to be of satisfactory quality, comply with specification and free from defects in components (subject to the Company being able to prove they comply with specification) and workmanship. The products are warranted for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery. In the event that product fails to comply with this warranty, within 5 days of receipt the customer can return the product for replacement or beyond this period return the product for repair. For items repaired, the cost of the repair is expensed at the time it is incurred. Axiom Manufacturing Services does not estimate how much will be warranted as the amount in the past has not been material.


Cash Equivalents - The Company considers highly liquid instruments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash



- 32 -






equivalents.


Trade Receivables - Trade receivables are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the level of past due accounts and the relationship with and financial status of our customers. The Company did not write off any bad debt during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and thus have not set an allowance for doubtful accounts for the years then ended.


Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost has been determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, reserves for excess and unusable inventories are recorded. Inventory consists of raw materials (components), work in progress and finished goods and is valued as follows: raw materials are valued at the standard cost of the material; both

work in progress and finished goods are valued at the standard cost of the material used to

manufacture these products plus an allowance for labor and overhead utilized to get these products to their current stage of completion.


Property, plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of various assets classes as follows:


Building & building improvements

 

 

20 to 45 years

Machinery & equipment

 

 

5 to 10 years

Fixtures & fittings

 

 

3 to 8 years


Upon retirement or sale, the costs of the asset disposed and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of income.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Annually, the Company routinely reviews its property and equipment for impairment, and accordingly, will write-down those assets to their estimated fair value.


Income Taxes - Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are representative of their fair values due to the short term maturity of these instruments.


Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.


Advertising Costs - The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.


Comprehensive Income - The Company's comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 includes foreign currency translation gains.


Funding Arrangements – The Company has an invoice discounting facility provided by its bankers under which the bank advances up to 80% of the value of qualifying invoices on presentation. This is repaid when the customer settles the invoice with the remaining 20% released to the Company less bank charges at this time. The bank is responsible for collecting the debt and is supported in this by staff within the Company. Security for advances under this facility is provided by a charge over the accounts receivable of the Company, a chattels mortgage over fixed assets and a second charge on the building at Technology Park, Newbridge, South Wales. Axiom Manufacturing Services accounts for this as a transfer of receivables as a secured borrowing with pledge of collateral Management believes that this treatment complies with guidance provided in FASB ASC 860-30-25-3. Borrowings on this facility amounted to $2.4 million at December 31,  2008 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2007. Borrowings are included within ‘Checks in Excess of Cash in Bank’ under the liability section of the balance sheet. Interest expense amounted to $0.17million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $0.14million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The interest charged on this facility is included within interest expense under ‘Other Income and Expenses’. Charges incurred amounted to $0.04 million to 31 December 2008 as compared to $0.03 for the same period of the prior year. Charges are included within ‘Operating Expenses’ in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Critical Accounting Policies - The Company considers revenue recognition and the valuation of accounts receivable, allowance for doubtful accounts, and inventory and reserves as its significant accounting policies. Some of these policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the Company's financial statement.


Restructuring - To downsize and streamline operations and rationalize manufacturing facilities, the Company has periodically recorded restructuring costs.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”  (“SFAS No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R amends SFAS 141 and provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. It also provides disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS no. 141R on its consolidated financial statements.


In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.51” (“SFAS No. 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be intitally measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the noncontrolling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since FAS 161 only provides for additional disclosure requirements, there will be no impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.


In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). This Standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FAS 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Standard is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. FAS 162 is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). This statement clarifies accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. SFAS 163 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2008. Because the Company does not issue financial guarantee insurance contracts, it does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an effect on its financial position or results of operations.


In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the



- 34 -






factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This Staff Position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Application of this FSP is not currently applicable to the Company as the Company’s intangible assets consist of land used rights which has a fixed useful life of 50 years.


In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities. This FSP provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.


This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this FSP. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial statements.

9.  DEFERRED INCOME


In July 2002, the Company received grant aid of $4.7million from the Welsh Assembly Government. Further grant aid in the amount of $392,000 was received in September 2006. This funding was to assist in the acquisition of a number of fixed assets including the property at Technology Park, Newbridge, Newport and to safeguard jobs following the decision by Aiwa Europe Limited to end original equipment production at Newbridge in South Wales. The Welsh Assembly Government has been given security in the form of a first lien on the land and buildings at Technology Park, Newbridge and has the right to require the repayment of part or the entire grant under certain circumstances. The Company has treated the grant in aid as deferred income and recognises monthly amortization of the grant. The value of the monthly amortization of the grant was originally based in 2002 on estimates of the relative costs for the asset purchases and staff costs. The Company has transferred ownership of the land and buildings to Axiom M S Limited in January 2009 therefore, the balance on the grant has been amortised in full during the 2008 financial year. Management relied on FASB 1126 (8) to account for the original amounts of grant aid.

Deferred income taxes result from the effect of transactions that are recognized in different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes.


Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying the statutory tax rates to differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.  These temporary differences related primarily to property and equipment due to the difference between book and tax depreciation.
