PART I.
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
Business Development
 
Prime Star Group, Inc. (formerly American Water Star Inc) was incorporated as American Career Centers, Inc., in the State of Nevada on June 15, 1999.  The purpose of the company was to serve as a holding company for the acquisition of information technology career training centers and related businesses.  Effective December 3, 1999, American Water Star acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Tunlaw Capital Corporation, a publicly-held reporting company, in exchange for an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock, with Tunlaw becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.  With the completion of this acquisition, American Water Star became the successor issuer to Tunlaw, and retained public company reporting status under the Exchange Act.  Tunlaw has had no operations to date and is inactive.
 
On April 2, 2002, we authorized the amendment to American Career Centers, Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name to American Water Star, Inc., to reflect the significant change in our character and strategic focus relating to our water bottling and distribution business.  Subsequent to our name change we pursued the acquisition of Water Star Bottling, Inc. as the basis of our new business plan.  We later voided the acquisition and have since filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Water Star Bottling.  On April 11, 2009 American Water Star, Inc. amended its name to Prime Star Group, Inc.
 
Acquisition of New Age Packaging, Inc.
 
On December 23, 2002, we completed the acquisition of New Age Packaging, Inc. (then known as American Distribution & Packaging, Inc.), a privately-held Nevada corporation (“New Age”). Pursuant to that Agreement, New Age exchanged 100% of its outstanding common stock for 5,200,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, which was issued to former officers and directors of American Water Star whom were principals of New Age pre-merger. Upon completion of the acquisition, New Age became a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Water Star.
 
Although the consideration exchanged in the New Age acquisition was not negotiated at “arms-length,” our directors and executive officers deemed it reasonable based on certain criteria, such as the valuation of the assets of New Age; New Age’s current and historical business operations; the potential of New Age; and the potential benefit to our stockholders. Our directors determined that the consideration for the exchange was reasonable under these circumstances.
 
New Age is developing a packaging process that will be an alternative to traditional plastic bottles, glass containers and aluminum cans. This process requires alternative manufacturing and distribution coordination as compared to traditional bottling procedures.
 
All of the original equipment owned by New Age was designed to be used in the production of bottled beverages; accordingly, it was transferred as a dividend to American Water Star in early 2003.  In December of 2003, our Board of Directors declared a dividend to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2004, in the form of all of the common stock of New Age.  Due to American Water Star’s issues with its loans with Laurus Master Fund and the delisting of our securities from the American Stock Exchange, we have not been able to effectuate the distribution of the NAP shares. We still believe the anticipated business model for NAP is not compatible with our current operations and we believe that the divestiture will have little impact on our future operations.
 
Acquisition of All-Star Beverages, Inc.
 
On December 24, 2002, we completed the acquisition of All-Star Beverages, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation (“All-Star”), pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of September 6, 2002. Pursuant to that Agreement, All-Star exchanged 100% of its outstanding common stock for 12,645,824 newly issued shares of our common stock.  Roger Mohlman, our current CEO and Chairman, received 11,103,433 of the shares issued in the exchange. Upon completion of the acquisition, All-Star became a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Water Star.

Although the consideration exchanged in the All-Star acquisition was not negotiated at “arms-length,” our directors and executive officers deemed it reasonable based on certain criteria such as the valuation of the assets of All-Star; All-Star’s current and historical business operations; the potential of All-Star; and the potential benefit to our stockholders. Our directors determined that the consideration for the exchange was reasonable under these circumstances.
 
The majority of our operations were conducted through All-Star. We had contractual relationships with various independent distributors, brokers, both single and multi-location retail operations, and governmental agencies throughout the United States.
 
As a result of the All-Star and New Age acquisitions, the former stockholders of All-Star and New Age became the controlling stockholders of Prime Star Group.
 
Acquisition of Colorado River Distributors (“C.R.D.”), Nevada Division:
 
During the first quarter of 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase from Colorado River Distributors, LLC, the distribution rights of their Nevada Division.  In addition to purchasing the distribution rights, we purchased the existing inventory of their Nevada Division.  Colorado River Distributors has distributing agreements for the paper products of Arrowhead Water, Coca Cola, Gatorade, and Tropicana.  Upon this acquisition, we established a new subsidiary; C.R.D. of Nevada, in which we incorporated the operations of Colorado River Distributors’ Nevada Division and consolidated the business with our operations in Las Vegas, Nevada.
 
Additional Subsidiaries of PRIME STAR GROUP, INC..
 
With the purchase and completion of the three plants in the United States, separate Nevada corporations were incorporated for each plant.  These corporations only held the physical assets of each plant.  The following is a list of all subsidiaries of American Water Star owned as of December 31, 2009.  Due to the defaults with Laurus Master Fund, which is described in more detail below, we lost all assets owned by the listed subsidiaries and no longer operate any of the listed entities.

Description of Business
 
Prime Star Group was started as a company that developed, marketed, sold, and distributed bottled water with four branded beverages: Hawaiian Tropic, Geyser Fruit, Geyser Sport, and Geyser Fruta. The products were orientated to the health conscious consumer looking for an alternative to products containing high sugar and caffeine levels. Our customers included single and multi-store retail operations, governmental agencies, and distributors who in turn sell to retail stores, convenience stores, schools and other outlets.   In addition, we branched into the private label and co-packing industries in the fourth quarter of 2004.

We initially sold our products exclusively through distributors who then supplied our products to retailers.  Although we continued to use distributors, we also expanded our sales effort through sales directly to retailers.  As of December 31, 2005, we sold through distributors and directly to customers.
 
We hope the private label and co-packaging of beverages for other corporations allows us to avoid costly marketing expenses that would otherwise be associated with brand development, launch, and continuing promotions.   
 
Business Plan
 
Our Company objective is to market a new flexible pouch packaging in the ready to drink adult beverage market as well as with our popular Geyser flavored waters.  This flexible packaging will also extend into related beverage markets.  PSGI is now prepared to begin operations in its target segment of the adult beverage (liquor and related) industry, and reestablish their customer base with their Geyser flavored waters.

The multi-billion dollar liquor industry has companies with a long history of success and established market share.  PSGI does not intend to compete with those companies or their conventional packaging methods.  The Company will enter this profitable marketplace with a line of exciting new products and with a new and very unique packaging concept.  We will target the high-end market with our own quality line of distilled spirits alone and with the unique and proprietary soft pouch is a key element in PSGI’s corporate strategy, product line and global sales and marketing plan for our mixed drinks.  This packaging style is embodied in one of PSGI’s customers sales slogans, “It’s In The Bag.”

The Industry
 
Pouch Packaging
 
According to Freedonia Group’s Projections , the pouch market will be 6.5 billion in the U.S. alone by 2010.  The global market is estimated to be 21.8 billion in 2005.
 
If anyone had predicted in 1981 that Kraft’s new foil pouch containing all natural Capri Sun™ Juice would begin a packaging revolution others would surely have jumped on the pouch bandwagon.
 
A range of factors will contribute to the huge proliferation of this packaging format. These include; convenience features, market differentiation, shelf-appeal, price-appeal, increase in the number of new products and faster inventory turns.
 
Marketing and Distribution
 
The Bartender’s Choice™ product line will initially launch with:
 
 
-
Classic Margaritas
 
-
Strawberry Margaritas
 
-
Mojitos
 
The drinks will be packaged individually in a 200ml (6.78 oz) flexible pouch with a Bartender’s Best Logo along with the flavor and type of beverage seductively displayed.
 
The individual servings will then be packaged in 10 serving Party Pack for club stores and super markets and sold individually at convenience stores as well.

There are a myriad of bottles and jugs that contain liquor, and mixed drinks. There are bottles of mixes only, liquor only, and mixed drinks.  The manufacturers, shippers, distributors and retailers of these products share a common situation…how to improve profit, expand and retain market share. Bottles, glass or plastic, have physical characteristics that define the amount that can be shipped and displayed in a given space.  The PSGI ‘pouch’, or soft bag, developed and protected by trade secrets is a 200 ml container for individual ready to drink adult beverages. It consists of several layers of clear film, one with the artwork, consumer and branding information.  The pouch comes with a drinking straw that is also used to pierce the pouch (anywhere on the pouch), and drink from it. The film “seals” around the straw so there is no leakage. A single pouch can be consumed just as it comes by the purchaser, served as a ‘perfect mixed drink every time’ NO BARTENDER NEEDED™.  It can also be poured into other containers such as the typical drink glass in a club, bar, casino, home or elsewhere for those who do not wish to present or consume the adult beverage from the pouch itself using the provided straw.
 
Since alcohol does not freeze, but does become very cold, we’ve created a formula that allows the drink to become slushy. The Bartender’s Choice pouch placed in a tub of ice, a store, home or airline freezer becomes a self-contained, individually chilled adult beverage drink waiting to be consumed.  The additional upside of the pouch for the end user is that the product is not spoiled if not used or completely consumed.  The consumer can just place the pouch back in the freezer and use when desired. It does not require typical “shelf-space” to be seen and purchased and, therefore, does not necessarily have to displace the shelf space other mixed drinks or liquor that may be available in bottles or cans nor force Bartender’s Choice™ to compete with ‘giants’ in the industry for that very expensive shelf space.   The soft Bartender’s Choice™ pouches can be stored and/or displayed in many ways and places, such as in large tubs, with or without ice and other trade secret methods of placement.
 
A typical Bartender’s Best™ Margarita drink placed in a freezer turned to slush within 45 minutes.  When left out at room temperature, it remained slushy for one hour and 20 minutes and stayed completely cold for an additional 20 minutes. Since no ice is used, the drink does not lose any flavor while the typical margarita does when the ice melts.

Private Label
 
PSGI will also offer their cost effective and consumer pouch for other manufactured brands in the market that want to take advantage of the trend of adult beverages packaged in pouches.  It is an opportunity for establishments to put their name as the brand on the product. PSGI does not believe that this will pose any type of competitive threats to PSGI’s own brands because it is a controlled environment and we will know their strategies and limited distribution.  More of the same packaging type increases growth in our sector and does nothing but help PSGI.
 
Competition

As of this date, PSGI has no real direct competition to its packaging of adult spirit based beverage in a pouch.  Due to the efficiency and low cost manufacturing of the pouch, PSGI’s management believes that it will take a minimum of two years to compete with PSGI in terms of quality and price.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We manufacture, promote and sell our Bartender’s Choice™ under our trademark-protected brand,.  Depending upon the jurisdiction, trademarks are valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained and they have not been found to have become generic.  Registrations of trademarks can generally be renewed as long as the trademarks are in use.   

Employees
 
As of the date of this Report, has no full-time paid employees.  We retain independent contractors as needed.  None of our employees are represented by labor unions and we believe that our employee relations are satisfactory.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On November 4, 2005, Laurus notified us that certain defaults had occurred in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including our failure to make interest payments on September 1, 2005, October 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005.  In addition, we had failed to make principal and interest payments due to Laurus on August 1, 2005, September 1, 2005, October 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005.  Based upon the occurrence and continuance of these defaults, Laurus notified us that they had accelerated the amounts due under the obligations, demanding payment in full on November 7, 2005 in the amount of $6,694,875.  In the event the payment amount was not received by Laurus, foreclosure proceedings covered by the Deed of Trust would begin.

Subsequent to November 7, 2005, foreclosure proceedings were begun on all of our real, personal, tangible, and intangible property, including all buildings, structures, leases, fixtures, and moveable personal property.  On March 2, 2006, all of the real property was sold through a foreclosure sale, and on March 23, 2006, all personal property was sold through a UCC sale.  Pursuant to the Order of the Court, on or about April 3, 2006, the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa approved an order (i) Approving Receiver’s Final Report; (ii) Discharging Receiver; and (iii) Dismissing Case. Further, the Order of the Court stated as follows: “On March 2, 2006, all of the real property of the Receivership Property was sold through a foreclosure sale (“Real Property Sale”). Laurus purchased the real property sold at the Real Property Sale.” “On March 23, 2006, all of the personal property of the Receivership Property was sold through a UCC sale (“Personal Property Sale”). Laurus purchased the personal property sold at the Personal Property Sale.” “Following the Real Property Sale and the Personal Property Sale, substantially all of the Company’s assets have been sold to Laurus.” The loss of the assets included the loss of All Star Beverage, Inc., All Star Beverages Arizona, Inc., All Star Beverages Jax, Inc., All Star Beverages Mississippi, Inc., and Hawaiian Tropicals, Inc.
 
On April 4, 2004 Michiana Dairy Processors, LLC filed a complaint against Star Beverages, Inc. (sic) in circuit court in Lake County Indiana, cause number 45C01-0404-PL-00085 which was subsequently amended to included American Water Star, Inc. (now Prime Star Group, Inc.) and its subsidiary entities, All Star Beverages, Inc., All Star Beverages of Arizona, Inc., Geyser Beverages, Inc., Hawaian Tropicals, Inc., on March 3, 2009 this case was removed to the Federal Court of Northern Indiana, Hammond Division and is in the discovery phase, awaiting trial in November 2010.  PSGI intends to defend itself against this frivolous lawsuit.  PSGI believes Michiana Dairy, LLC perpetrated a fraud by not having the authority to enter into a contract, since it was not permitted to bottle water or other beverage products in the State of Indiana.

Forward Looking Statements
 
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky.  These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
 
Summary of Business
 
Prime Star Group, Inc. (fka American Water Star) was started as a company which developed, marketed, sold, and distributed bottled water with four branded beverages: Hawaiian Tropic, Geyser Fruit, Geyser Sport, and Geyser Fruta. The products were orientated to the health conscious consumer looking for an alternative to products containing high sugar and caffeine levels. Our customers included single and multi-store retail operations, governmental agencies, and distributors who in turn sell to retail stores, convenience stores, schools and other outlets.  In addition, we branched into the private label and co-packing industries in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
We initially sold our products exclusively through distributors who then supplied our products to retailers.  Although we continued to use distributors, we also expanded our sales effort through sales directly to retailers.  As of December 31, 2005, we sold through distributors and directly to customers.
 
We had hoped the private label and co-packaging of beverages for other corporations would allows us to avoid costly marketing expenses that would otherwise be associated with brand development, launch, and continuing promotions. 

During the third quarter of 2005, we entered into a “Forbearance Agreement” with Laurus Master Fund (“Laurus”) as a result of having previously defaulted on our initial agreements with Laurus dated as of October 2004.  Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, Laurus agreed to forbear taking action on our existing defaults until October 26, 2007, provided that we did not default under the new Forbearance Agreement.  In consideration for the Forbearance Agreement, we issued a Secured Convertible Term Note in the principal amount of $1,286,098.61, which represented the aggregate accrued interest and fees owed to Laurus as of July 31, 2005.

On September 15, 2005, Laurus notified us that certain Events of Default had occurred under the second note and demanded payment of approximately $207,458 by September 21, 2005.
 
Although our operations continued through the third quarter of 2005, the impact of the Laurus debt which was in default by the end of the third quarter was having a negative impact on our ability to continue operations as previously planned.  Most of our operations had completely ceased by the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
On November 4, 2005, Laurus again notified us that certain defaults had occurred in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including our failure to make interest payments on September 1, 2005, October 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005.  In addition, we had failed to make principal and interest payments due to Laurus on August 1, 2005, September 1, 2005, October 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005.  Based upon the occurrence and continuance of these defaults, Laurus notified us that they had accelerated the amounts due under the obligations, demanding payment in full on November 7, 2005 in the amount of $6,694,875.  In the event the payment amount was not received by Laurus, foreclosure proceedings covered by the Deed of Trust would begin.

Subsequent to November 7, 2005, foreclosure proceedings were begun on all of our real, personal, tangible, and intangible property, including all buildings, structures, leases, fixtures, and moveable personal property.
 
On March 2, 2006, all of the real property was sold through a foreclosure sale, and on March 23, 2006, all personal property was sold through a UCC sale.  Pursuant to the Order of the Court, on or about April 3, 2006, the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa approved an order (i) Approving Receiver’s Final Report; (ii) Discharging Receiver; and (iii) Dismissing Case. Further, the Order of the Court stated as follows: “On March 2, 2006, all of the real property of the Receivership Property was sold through a foreclosure sale (“Real Property Sale”). Laurus purchased the real property sold at the Real Property Sale.” “On March 23, 2006, all of the personal property of the Receivership Property was sold through a UCC sale (“Personal Property Sale”). Laurus purchased the personal property sold at the Personal Property Sale.” “Following the Real Property Sale and the Personal Property Sale, substantially all of the Company’s assets have been sold to Laurus.” The loss of the assets included the loss of the ownership of five of our subsidiaries; All Star Beverage, Inc., All Star Beverages Arizona, Inc., All Star Beverages Jax, Inc., All Star Beverages Mississippi, Inc., and Hawaiian Tropicals, Inc. Substantially all of our assets were sold, which had a significant negative impact on our Results of Operations.
 
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
We are no longer listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) because of our late filing of our Form 10-K, as of May 2010.  We are currently listed on the PinkSheets at PSGI.PS.  The company is determined to make every effort to maintain all of its filings in a timely manner.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States., which require us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported.  In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality.  We believe that of our significant accounting policies (more fully described in notes to the financial statements), the following are particularly important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and may require the application of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.  We review our estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to sales allowances, the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories and related reserves, long-lived assets, income taxes, litigation and stock-based compensation.  We base our estimates on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our beliefs of what could occur in the future considering available information.  Actual results may differ from these estimates, and material effects on our operating results and financial position may result.  We believe the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when products are delivered to the customer which occurs when goods are shipped and title and risk of loss transfer to the customer, in accordance with the terms specified in the arrangement with the customer.  Revenue recognition is deferred in all instances where the earnings process is incomplete based on the criteria listed above.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, we did not have any revenues that were required to be deferred.  Management provides for sales returns and allowances in the same period as the related revenues are recognized.  Management bases their estimates on historical experience or the specific identification of an event necessitating a reserve.
 
In accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer,” slotting fees, buy downs, cooperative advertising and other reductions and incentives given by us to our customers are included as a reduction of revenue, rather than as a cost of goods sold.
 
Slotting fees paid to a customer are generally amortized over the life of the slotting agreement which is typically one year and included as reduction of revenues.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”  SFAS 123R requires that we account for all stock-based compensation transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the fair value of each award as an expense, generally over the service period.  The fair value of stock options is based upon the market price of our common stock at the grant date.  We estimate the fair value of stock option awards, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The use of the Black-Scholes model requires that we make a number of estimates, including the expected option term, the expected volatility in the price of our common stock, the risk-free rate of interest and the dividend yield on our common stock.  If our expected option term and stock-price volatility assumptions were different, the resulting determination of the fair value of stock option awards could be materially different and our results of operations could be materially impacted.


 
10

 

Accounting for Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation
 
We measure compensation expense for non-employee stock-based compensation in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.”  The fair value of the option issued or expected to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received.  The fair value is measured at the value of our common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.  In the case of the issuance of stock options, we determine the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.
 
Modifications to Convertible Debt
 
We account for modifications of embedded conversion features (“ECF”) in accordance with EITF 06-6 “Debtors Accounting for a Modification (or exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments.”  EITF 06-6 requires the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an ECF be recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the debt.  If modification is considered a substantial (i.e., greater than 10% of the carrying value of the debt), an extinguishment of the debt is deemed to have occurred, resulting in the recognition of an extinguishment gain or loss.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Derivative financial instruments, as defined in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g., interest rate, security price or other variable), that require no initial net investment and permit net settlement.  Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments.  Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.
 
We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks.  However, we have convertible debt with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty.  As required by SFAS 133, in certain instances, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in its financial statements.
 
We estimate the fair values of our derivative financial instruments using the Black-Scholes option valuation model because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments.  Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors.  In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility.  Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our operating results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.
 


 
11

 

Equity Instruments Issued with Registration Rights Agreement
 
We account for these penalties as contingent liabilities, applying the accounting guidance of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” as required by FASB Staff Positions FSP EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements,” which was issued December 21, 2006.  Accordingly, we recognize the damages when it becomes probable that they will be incurred and amounts are reasonably estimable.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009-01”).  ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP.  Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
On December 15, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Prime Star Group, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prime Star Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows from operations for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over its 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 consolidated financial position of Prime Star Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its consolidated operations and cash flows from operations for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements conditions exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern unless it is able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 The Company was originally organized on June 1, 1999 as American Career Centers, Inc.  On April 2, 2002 we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to American Water Star, Inc.  On April 11, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State.  The Amendment changed the Company’s name to Prime Star Group, Inc.; reverse split the shares of the Company on a 1 for 100 basis, reauthorized the par value to $.0001 per share and increased the number of authorized shares to 125,000,000 common and 25,000,000 preferred shares.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud.  The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) valid transactions are recorded; and (3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prime Star Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by restrictions on sources of supply; advertising effectiveness; changes in labeling requirements; changes in governmental regulations; changes in the rate of taxation; the expropriation of private enterprise; or product issues such as a product recall.  The foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is not exclusive.  We monitor our operations with a view to minimizing the impact to our overall business that could arise as a result of the risks inherent in our business.
 
Loss per Share
 
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)  Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”).  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  There were no securities considered to be dilutive in the computation of loss per share.   All earnings per share data has been recomputed based on the 1 for 100 split on April 11, 2008.
 

 
20

 

Cash and Equivalents
 
We classify time deposits and other investments that are highly liquid and have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents
 
Trade Accounts Receivable
 
We record trade accounts receivable at net realizable value.  This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the trade accounts receivable balances and charged to the provision for doubtful accounts.  We calculate the allowance based on our history of write-offs, level of past due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables and our relationships with and economic status of our customers.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of packaging supplies, and are valued at the lower of cost or market.  We determine cost on the basis of average cost or first-in, first-out methods.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder contributed packaging inventory with a cost of $339,722.  The Company determined that the original cost approximated fair market value upon the date of contribution.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s management determined that the packaging inventory had been impaired in the amount of $33,972.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an inventory impairment expense and reduced the carrying value of the packaging inventory by $33,972.
 
Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets
 
We classify intangible assets into three categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization, (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization and (3) goodwill. We determine the useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors we consider when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset, and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their useful lives.
 
When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value by preparing estimates of sales volume and the resulting gross profit and cash flows. These estimated future cash flows are consistent with those we use in our internal planning. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount, we recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We use a variety of methodologies to determine the fair value of these assets, including discounted cash flow models, which are consistent with the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use.
 
We test intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives, including trademarks, and goodwill, for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. We use a variety of methodologies in conducting impairment assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, which are based on the assumptions we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and consists primarily of consulting fees, design, and test productions of food and beverages. The Company incurred expenses of $74,983 and $-0- during 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment” (previously “SFAS 123(R)”).  This topic requires that companies account for awards of equity instruments issued to employees under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such amounts in their statement of operations.  Under this topic, we are required to measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest.
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 718, “Share-Based Payment”, previously “SFAS 123(R)”.  Under this topic, common stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services is accounted for based on the fair value of the services rendered.
 
Common stock, warrants and options issued for services by non-employees is accounted for based on the fair market value at the date the services are performed.  If the services are to be performed over a period of time the value is amortized over the life of the period that services are performed.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued accounting guidance that clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Our Company adopted the provisions of this accounting guidance and changed our accounting policy effective January 1, 2007.   The adoption did not have an effect on our financial statements.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including, accounts payable and accrued expenses the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
 

 
22

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
·
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
 
The Company has determined that it has no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
We state property, plant and equipment at cost and depreciate such assets principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment if certain events or changes occur, such as a significant decrease in market value of the assets or a significant change in the business conditions in a particular market.  The estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
 
Bottling equipment
          7 -10
 
Depreciation commences upon implementation of the asset.  Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.  Major improvements and replacements which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset.  When assets are retired or sold, the costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder contributed bottling equipment with a cost of $1,133,846.  The Company determined that the original cost approximated fair market value upon the date of contribution.  The bottling equipment was not placed into service as of December 31, 2008, therefore no depreciation was provided for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s management determined that the bottling equipment had been impaired in the amount of $377,949.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an equipment impairment expense and reduced the carrying value of the bottling equipment by $377,949.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We account for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (formerly SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137, SFAS No. 138, and SFAS No. 149).  Our Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.
 

 
23

 

Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred.  There were $-0- and $-0- advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue from the sale of our products is recorded when all of the following criteria are met:
 
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, 0ur price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates and promotional costs.
 
Debt issue costs
 
Costs related to securing our long-term debt are recorded as an asset and are amortized over the life of the debt.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of December 31, 2009 the Company’s long-lived assets had been impaired in the amount of $377,949.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009-01”).  ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC.  The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP.  Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing.  This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance
 
cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 

 
24

 

On December 15, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current presentation.
 
2.  Going Concern
 
 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred losses from operations of $2,769,320 and $617,826, respectively.  In addition, the Company has a deficit in working capital, and a deficit of retained earnings, and a negative stockholders’ equity.   The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
3.  Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets
 
The following table summarizes information related to indefinite-lived intangible assets:

4.  Accrued Compensation and Notes Payable to the Chairman / CEO
 
Loans payable to the Chairman / CEO consist primarily of cash advances and at December 31, 2004 the advances totaled $1,635,000.  Each loan was non-interest bearing and was due on demand.  The Company recorded accrued interest of $35,000 based upon a 6% interest rate.  On November 18, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Chairman’s / CEO’s request to convert notes payable totaling $1,700,000 into shares of the Company’s common stock, thus reducing the Company’s liabilities by $1,700,000.  The conversion was done on January 6, 2006 at $.05 per share based on the reported market price of the Company’s common shares on that date.
 
Accrued compensation totaled $916,015 and $ 856,015 at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
5.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal proceedings
 
The Company has been defending a breach of contract civil action filed in 2004 in Indiana.  The primary allegation involves a packing agreement allegedly entered into between the Company’s Subsidiary and Michiana Dairy Processors, LLC  of Gary, Indiana.  The Company denies the existence of any such contract and that Michiana never obtained the required permits, licenses and /or insurance which were prerequisite to any such contract.  In 2009, the action was removed to the US District Court, Northern District of Indiana.  Michiana Processors, LLC  vs. All Star Beverages, Inc. et al, USDC (IN ND) Case no. 2:209-cv-00039 by defendants.  Trial is set for November 2010, however, the Company is extremely confident plaintiff’s case will be summarily dismissed on motions.  PSGI has filed cross-complaints against Michiana for intentioanal interference with the Company, including punitive damages, as well as recovery of all attorney’s fees and costs incurred.
 
The Company is involved in other various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business.  Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved actions, the Company believes these unresolved legal actions will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operation.
 
Operating Leases
 
We had lease agreements and arrangements, whereby we lease warehouse and operating facilities.  Each lease expired on or before January 1, 2008.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 our rent expenses  were $-0-  and $-0-.
 
6.  Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the tax effect of items subject to differences in book and taxable income.  The Company had no income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009.  There is approximately $50,000,000 of net operating loss carry-forward, which expires beginning in 2022.  The net deferred tax is as follows:

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

We had no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our President and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officer") has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the Certifying Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 our management, including the Certifying Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the material weaknesses described below.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including the Certifying Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipt and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. A system of internal control may become inadequate over time because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as December 31, 2009 using the criteria set forth by the Commission of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 our management, including the Certifying Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the material weaknesses described below.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, our management, including the Certifying Officer, performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 
28

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies, which result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The management has identified the following five material weaknesses which have caused the management to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1. We have not documented our internal controls. We were required to provide written documentation of key internal controls and assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2. We did not have adequate internal controls with respect to recording and reconciling salary accruals and advances to/from related parties. It was determined that certain advances were not properly recorded. Management will implement a process to record and reconcile such amounts in connection with the preparation of its financial statements.

To address these material weaknesses, our management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls, we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying these material weaknesses.

To further remediate the material weaknesses, we now require written documentation for all related-party transactions and a review by all personnel responsible for financial reporting, prior to filing our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
