PART I

Item 1.  Description of Business

(a)  State of Incorporation; Offices and Facilities

Somerset International Group, Inc. (“Somerset”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1968. Our current activity is the acquisition of profitable and near term profitable private small and medium sized businesses that provide proprietary security products and solutions for people and enterprises – from personal safety to information security – and maximizing the profitability of our acquired entities and to act as a holding company for such entities.

Our executive office is located at 90 Washington Valley Road, Bedminster, New Jersey, 07921

(b) Nature of Business

Our current activity is the acquisition of profitable and near term profitable private small and medium sized businesses and maximizing the profitability of our acquired entities and to act as a holding company for such entities.

One of our subsidiaries, designs, assembles, installs and maintains a proprietary personal security system for colleges and mental health facilities where potential for crime exists.

Three of our subsidiaries specialize in thedistribution, sale, installation, and maintenance of fire and security equipment and systems that include fire detection, video surveillance, and burglar alarm equipment.

There are three streams of revenues derived from these subsidiaries:

1.  
Equipment:
The pricing for an equipment sale is generally established through a customer purchase order and is a separate stand-alone arrangement.  Revenue is recognized for equipment sales upon the delivery of the equipment, which is the date on which customer becomes responsible for the payment of the equipment.

2.  
Installation:
Installation services are a separate stand-alone arrangement consisting of final connections of the equipment and individual testing of the equipment pieces.  Such services occur after electrical work has been contracted and supervised by the customer, and completed by an outside third party.  Installation services, when performed by the Company, are separately negotiated with the customer, and are recognized upon completion of the service by the Company.

 
 

 


3.  
Maintenance:
These are separately priced contracts that are entered into with a customer typically after the installation services are performed.  Maintenance services are not bundled into any other service.  These maintenance services are recognized as revenues as the services are performed.  These services are billed at the end of the month after the service is provided or if provided through a contractual arrangement then pre-billed for the defined periods, i.e. quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. Deferred Revenue on the Company’s balance sheet represents amounts billed to customers for maintenance to be performed in future periods.

(c) Corporate Developments

On December 1, 2010, the Company received a notice of default from Dutchess Private Equities Fund requiring payment in full of outstanding obligations.  The Company is attempting to resolve these outstanding obligations with Dutchess Private Equities Fund.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these attempts.

(d)  2010 Revenues

            Somerset’s revenueswere$3,631,257for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

(e) Patents and Trademarks

Somerset retained its patents and other intellectual property, which is carried at a zero basis.

Somerset holds United States Patent No. 3,877,019, titled "Photo-measuring Materials Device for Computer Storage of Photographic and Other Materials", granted April 8, 1975;  No. 3,908,078, titled "Method and Apparatus for Digital Recognition of Objects Particularly Biological Materials", granted September 23, 1975; No. 4,613,269, titled "Robotic Acquisition of Objects By Means Including Histogram Techniques", granted September 23, 1986 and No. 4,642,813, titled "Electro-Optical Quality Control Inspection of Elements on a Product", granted February 10, 1987. Although Somerset relied primarily on its technological know-how and expertise in the field of machine vision, some products were nevertheless based, in part, on the technology underlying these patents.  No assurance can be given as to the validity and scope of the protection provided by these patents.

Somerset holds and used several registered trademarks. "ORS" was used as a general identifying symbol in respect of its Products. "i-bot" was used in conjunction with systems when adapted for use with industrial robots and the related electronic grippers. "FLEXVISION" identified a flexible image computer. The alignment products were identified by "i-lign" and circuit board inspection systems were identified by "i-flex". Somerset has also copyrighted critical software.

(f) Employees

As of March 31, 2011, Somerset has 1 employee, Secure has 6 employees, Meadowlands has 9 employees, and Fire Control has 7 employees. No employees are currently covered under collective bargaining agreements.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On September 4, 2008, Keith Kesheneff and Kathryn Kesheneff filed suit in Superior Court in New Jersey against the Company claiming that they are owed $355,000 for a purchase price adjustment note issued by the Company.  The Company filed an answer, with counterclaims, on October 27, 2008, generally contesting all claims.

On June 26, 2009, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against TSG Capital Partners, LLC and others seeking to recover $105,000 in financing fees paid by the Company, plus damages for fraud, counsel fees, and interest.  The Company has served its complaint and is pursuing its claims.

On August 6, 2009, the holders of three promissory notes convertible into the Company’s common stock obtained judgments against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey totaling $157,636.31, plus costs of $720.00.

General
 
On June 30, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) in which Secure, our wholly owned subsidiary, purchased all the shares of Meadowlands Fire, Safety, and Electrical Supply Co., Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and Vanwell Electronics, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (collectively “Meadowlands”) from Keith Kesheneff and Kathryn Kesheneff, being all of the shareholders of Meadowlands.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Secure acquired Meadowlands whereby Meadowlands became a wholly owned subsidiary of Secure.  The purchase was financed through the use of some of the proceeds of the June15, 2007 convertible debenture.

Effective October 1, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) in which Somerset purchased all the shares of Fire Control Electrical Systems, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (collectively “Fire Control”) from Vincent A. Bianco and Opie F. Brinson, being all of the shareholders of Fire Control.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Somerset acquired Fire Control whereby Fire Control became a wholly owned subsidiary of Somerset.  The purchase was financed through the use of some of the proceeds of the November 12, 2007 convertible debenture.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, including stock issued for services and or compensation and related disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments, estimates and uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

We have only established an allowance for doubtful accounts for Secure’s subsidiary accounts receivable and Fire Control. We analyzed the ability to collect accounts that are large, none of which are currently past due for Secure. Historically, Secure has not incurred bad debt expense and that trend is anticipated to continue.  Management will evaluate Secure’s subsidiary allowance and Fire Control on a periodic basis.

We write down inventory for estimated excess or obsolete inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

We account for our goodwill and intangible assets pursuant to Professional Standards, which require that intangibles with definite lives continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or contractual terms. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are evaluated at least annually for impairment.  The impairment test compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its fair value.  Discounted cash flows are utilized to determine the fair value of the assets being evaluated.  The impairment test in 2009 and 2008 supported the carrying value of goodwill, and as such, no write-down in the carrying value of goodwill was recorded.

 
 

 


Revenues
 
Revenues of $3,631,257 for the year ended December 31, 2010decreased by $588,304 over revenues of $4,219,561 during the year ended December 31, 2008. Equipment Sales revenues decreased by $435,567 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period in 2009.  Installation revenues decreased by $84,566 and Maintenance revenues decreased by $68,171 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period in 2009.

Costs of Goods Sold
 
Costs of Goods Sold for the year ended December 31, 2010decreased to $1,748,223, representing adecrease of $118,037 over costs of goods sold of $1,866,260during the year ended December 31, 2009.  This was primarily attributable to a decrease in cost of systems sold of $239,153and $18,109 in engineering and development costsfor the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period in 2009, offsetby anincrease in installation and service costsof $118,027for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period in 2009.

Gross Margin

Gross Margin for the year ended December 31, 2010decreased to $1,883,034 representing andecrease of $470,267 from a gross margin of $2,353,301 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  This was a direct result of the net decreases in Revenues and the Cost of Goods Sold described above.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses(“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $2,715,190 decreased by $567,530 over SG&A expenses of $3,282,720during the year ended December 31, 2008.  Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $491,984, amortization expense decreased by $53,138, and depreciation expense increased by $22,408 from the year ended December 31, 2009.  This was primarily attributable to decrease in payroll expenses of $273,296, a decrease of $132,018 in professional and consulting fees, and a decrease in cost of financing of $33,089 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 versus the same period in 2009.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Other Expense decreased to $694,841 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $716,471 during the year ended December 31, 2009, representing a decrease of $21,630.  Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $37,268 to $713,401 from interest expense of $676,133 during the year ended December 31, 2009. This is primarily attributable to the interest expense on the Dutchess convertible debentures issued in June 2007 and November 2007and the notes issued in 2009.
 
Net (Loss)

Net Loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2010decreased by $108,728 to $1,545,106 from $1,653,834 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to thedecrease in gross margin described above for the period and thedecrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year as described above.

 
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We are currently financing our operations primarily through cash generated by financing activities in the form of promissory notes, convertible debentures, and equity investments. We financed our business acquisitions through the issuance of redeemable preferred stock, cash generated from promissory notes, and convertible debentures.

Substantially all principal payments due under the terms of the Dutchess Debentures during 2010 are in arrears.  Partial payments of interest on these debentures were made during 2010.  The failure to pay any principal or interest due under these debentures within ten days of the due date is considered an “event of default”.  As such, the entire balance of principal and interest on the Dutchess Notes are payable on demand.On December 1, 2010, the Company received a notice of default from Dutchess Private Equities Fund requiring payment in full of outstanding obligations.  The Company is attempting to resolve these outstanding obligations with Dutchess Private Equities Fund.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these attempts.

At December31, 2010, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $7,605,866.
 
We plan to establish a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs by acquiring additional companies that are generating positive cash flows from operating activities either at acquisition or projected to do so in the future, thereby furthering the objective of becoming profitable and generating positive cash flow from operating activities on a consolidated basis.  The funds needed to continue operations over the next twelve months will be raised from accredited investors and/or institutional investors as in the previous financings. During this period, the Company will attempt to reduce or defer expenses until the capital is available.These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our need for capital may change dramatically as a result of any additional business acquisition or combination transaction.  There can be no assurance that we will identify any additional suitable business, product, technology or opportunity in the future.  Further, even if we locate a suitable target, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in consummating any acquisition or business consolidation on favorable terms or that we will be able to profitably manage the business, product, or technology, if acquired, or otherwise engaged.  The Company intends to acquire cash flow positive companies of such size or number that will allow it to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to obtain debt and/or equity financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay or scale back our plans for expansion. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

            Management intends to ask pertinent questions of the proposed candidates or opportunities in the course of its diligence phase.  Management will rely heavily on a business plan, financial statements and projections, and management’s views of the future.  Unless something comes to management’s attention as a result of its review of the proposed candidate’s audited financial statements, which causes management to have serious concerns on the viability or integrity of the financial records and business projections, which would result in a disqualification of such candidate, a transaction would be approved by the Board of Directors.  When a transaction requires shareholder approval, a shareholder meeting must be held and a shareholder vote taken.  A proxy statement would be mailed to shareholders informing them of the meeting and requesting their vote.  However, in lieu of holding a meeting, a majority of shareholders may sign a Shareholder’s Resolution approving of such transaction.  If a meeting is not held, an information statement must be mailed to all of its shareholder’s informing them of the action taken by the majority shareholders.

 
 

 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Update 2010-06,"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements", which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  This update modifies current professional standards to require certain disclosures as follows:

 
The amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for those transfers.

 
Information in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

 
Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities.

 
Description of valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non recurring fair value measurements that fall into either Level 2 or Level 3.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 which requires certain disclosures regarding multiple deliverable revenue arrangements as well as addressing the accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements to enable reporting entities to account for product and services separately rather than a combined unit.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-14, "Software: Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements”, which is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The update impacts the recognition of revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements and related disclosures.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-15, "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing”, which amends current professional standards regarding share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

Item 9(A). Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of its President, the effectiveness of the design/operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the SEC Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2010.  Based on such evaluation, the President of the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures 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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not operating in an effective manner.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our President, we conducted a review, evaluation, and assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 based upon the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

During management’s evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, the following material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting procedures were found:

·  
There is no Audit Committee in place as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
·  
There are no controls in place to ensure complete and accurate recording of all trade payables, accrued liabilities and accrued purchases.
·  
There are no controls in place to determine that the inventory valuation has not been impaired due to obsolescence and or reduction of net realizable value below cost.
·  
There is no independent review of expenditures that are approved by the CEO by the Audit Committee to ensure validity of expenditures.
·  
There is no independent review of expenditure classifications to ensure they are complete and accurate.
·  
All spreadsheets that are used in connection with preparation of the financial statements are not independently re-calculated, reviewed and approved by management.
·  
There is no independent review and re-calculation of stockholders’ equity section of the financial statement.
·  
There is no independent review and re-calculation of investments in subsidiaries and other equity investment values represented in the financial statements.
·  
There is no independent review by company management that financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and SEC reporting requirements as well as related footnote disclosures based on current GAAP and SEC standards.

 
 

 

Based on the material weaknesses noted above, management concludes that the internal controls over financial reporting are not effective.  Management will be undertaking remediation efforts on a cost-effective basis to remediate material weaknesses during the next fiscal year.  Based on cost constraints not all material weaknesses are expected to be remediated.  As a result, internal controls over financial reporting are expected to remain not effective until revenues from operations are sufficient to support additional internal controls and the formation of an audit committee.

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the SEC Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation as of December 31, 2010 by the President, which occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

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

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

 
 

 

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

-approved by our audit committee; or

-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of whatpercentage of the above fees was pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm.  Therefore, these statements have not been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue which is adequate to cover its administrative costs for a period in excess of one year and allow it to continue as a going concern.  This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is actively involved in exploring business opportunities which they believe will allow the Company to increase shareholder’s value and allow it to continue as a going concern.  In order to continue operations, the Company requires additional capital infusions to acquire or develop business opportunities.  Management continues to search out financing opportunities to finance its operations. If management is unsuccessful in this regard, they would seek to sell or dissolve the Company.  The Company had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $1,545,000and $1,654,000, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $36,249,000 and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $4,858,000 as of December 31, 2010.  The Company also contributed net cash in operating activities of approximately $27,815in 2010. In addition at December 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $7,606,000. The Company will require financing to fund its current operations and will require additional financing to acquire or develop other business opportunities.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2.Significant Accounting Policies
 
A.  
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in the bank, as well as all short-term securities held for the primary purpose of general liquidity.  Such securities normally mature within three months from the date of acquisition.

B.  
Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date.  Accounts receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer.  Interest is not billed or accrued.  Accounts receivables in excess of 90 days old are considered delinquent.  Payments to accounts receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customers remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the oldest invoice.  The Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $31,000 and $31,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, based on its historical collectability.

C.  
Propertyand Equipment

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two-seven years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

D.  
Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at high credit quality financial institutions.  The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

Currently, Secure System, Inc. has five customers which accounted for all of their revenues. Meadowlands has approximately 200 active accounts and Fire Control has approximately 150 active accounts which accounted for all of their revenues.  While our goal is to diversify Secure’sand Fire Control’s customer base, Secure expects to continue to depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a significant percentage of its revenues for the foreseeable future. Significant reductions in sales to any of our customers may have a material adverse effect on us by reducing our revenues and our gross margins.

E.  
Use ofEstimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  Most critical are the fair value estimates related to the net tangible and identifiable assets of acquired companies, as well as customer lists and the estimated fair value of reporting units used when evaluating Goodwill for impairment.
 
 
F-7

 


F.  
Income Taxes:

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states.  The Company has no open years prior to 2006.

The Company adopted the accounting pronouncement dealing with uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2009.  Upon adoption of this accounting pronouncement, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.  Furthermore, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between financial and income tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates and laws. The deferred income tax provision or benefit generally reflects the net change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities during the year. The current income tax provision reflects the tax consequences of revenues and expenses currently taxable or deductible on the Company’s various income tax returns for the year reported. The Company’s deferred tax items are net operating loss carryforwards, other items, and related deferred tax assets and have been offset by a valuation allowance for the same amount.

G.  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory notes payable, and stockholder note payable approximate fair value because of the terms of these financial instruments.

H.  
Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Somerset International Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries Fire Control Electrical Systems, Inc. and Secure System, Inc., and Secure System Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiaries Meadowlands Electronics Inc., and Vanwell Electronics Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

I.  
Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications were made to the 2009 financial statements in order to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation.  Such reclassifications had no effect on 2009’s reported net loss.

J.  
Stock Based Compensation and Stock Sales:

Stock and warrants issued for employee compensation services have been determined based on the value of the instrument issued at date of issuance for such services.  In addition, during 2009 and 2008 the Company issued warrants as part of certain sales of common stock.  The value of these warrants has been included in additional paid in capital as part of the value of the overall stock sale.

K.  
Revenue Recognition:

Installation, subscription and maintenance revenues include installation of equipment and testing at customer sites, fees for leased wireless equipment, and fees for equipment maintenance. These revenues are recognized as the services are performed, or ratably over time in the case of fees that may be billed quarterly or semi-annually in advance. Revenues related to pre-billed services are deferred until the service is provided and thereby earned. Equipment revenue is recognized when the equipment is delivered to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when delivery of merchandise has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is established and is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company has three separate and distinct revenue streams–equipment sales, installation and maintenance.

The description of each stream is as follows:

·  
Equipment:

The pricing for an equipment sale is generally established through a customer purchase order and is a separate stand-alone arrangement.  Revenue is recognized for equipment sales upon the delivery of the equipment, which is the date on which customer becomes responsible for the payment of the equipment.

·  
Installation:
Installation services are a separate stand-alone arrangement consisting of final connections of the equipment and individual testing of the equipment pieces.  Such services occur after electrical work has been contracted and supervised by the customer, and completed by an outside third party.  Installation services, when performed by the Company, are separately negotiated with the customer, and are recognized upon completion of the service by the Company.

·  
Maintenance:
These are separately priced contracts that are entered into with a customer typically after the installation services are performed.  Maintenance services are not bundled into any other service.  These maintenance services are recognized as revenues as the services are performed.  These services are billed at the end of the month after the service is provided or if provided through a contractual arrangement then pre-billed for the defined periods, i.e. quarterly, semi-annual, or annual. Deferred Revenue on the Company’s balance sheet represents amounts billed to customers for maintenance to be performed in future periods.

L.  
Inventory:

Inventory consists primarily of parts and work in process products held for sale. Inventory, at year end, is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a first in/first out basis.
 
 
F-9

 
 
M.  
Loss Per Share:
 
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Professional Standards and utilizes guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under these provisions basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares if the effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share except that the number of shares is increased assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. As the Company had a net loss, the impact of the assumed exercise of the stock options and warrants is anti-dilutive and as such, these amounts have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 4,208,505 and 4,208,505of common stock equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share after considering ownership limitations of certain warrants and conversion features.

N.  
Advertising Costs:

Advertising costs are treated as period costs and expenses as incurred.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 advertising costs totaled approximately $0 and $6,832, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

O.  
Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

Goodwill and intangible assets result primarily from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method. In accordance with Professional Standards, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to impairment by applying a fair value based test. Intangible assets with finite useful lives related to software, customer lists, covenant not to compete and other intangibles are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally three to seven years.  As of December 31, 2010, no impairment charge was necessary.

In accordance with Professional Standards, the Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives annually or on an interim basis in certain circumstances as required. The Company measures impairment lossesby comparing carrying value to fair value. The impairment test compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its fair value.  Discounted cash flows are utilized to determine the fair value of the assets being evaluated.  The impairment test in 2010 and 2009 supported the carrying value of goodwill, and as such, no write-down in the carrying value of goodwill was recorded.

In accordance withProfessional Standards, long-lived assets used in operations are reviewed for impairment whenever events or change circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For long-1ived assets to be held used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between carrying amount and fair value.

Note 3.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Update 2010-06,"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements", which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  This update modifies current professional standards to require certain disclosures as follows:

 
The amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for those transfers.

 
Information in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

 
Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities.

 
Description of valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non recurring fair value measurements that fall into either Level 2 or Level 3.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, "Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 which requires certain disclosures regarding multiple deliverable revenue arrangements as well as addressing the accounting for multiple deliverable arrangements to enable reporting entities to account for product and services separately rather than a combined unit.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-14, "Software: Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements”, which is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The update impacts the recognition of revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements and related disclosures.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

In October 2009, FASB issued Update No. 2009-15, "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing”, which amends current professional standards regarding share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement.

On September 8, 2008, Somerset International Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its Debenture dated June 12, 2007 (the “June Debenture”) between Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”) and the Company; and a debenture dated November 13, 2007 (the “November Debenture”) between Dutchess and the Company (collectively, the Debenture”).  Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed to the following:

2.  
The Company warrants that no indebtedness of theCompany is senior to the Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise.
 
  3.  
As to the June Debenture, commencing on December 30, 2007,  the Company agreed to make the following monthly amortizing payments:

As additional consideration for Dutchess to enter into this Amendment, the Company issued a warrant to Dutchess to purchase up to 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to par value.  Dutchess’s ownership of the Company’s shares is limited to 4.99% of shares issued and outstanding.   The fair value of these warrants is not material to these financial statements.  This warrant is not freely tradable by Dutchess.

The Dutchess notes are securitized by the assets of the company.Substantially all principal payments due under the terms of the Dutchess Debentures during 2010 are in arrears.  Partial payments of interest on these debentures were made during 2009 and through March 31, 2009.  The failure to pay any principal or interest due under these debentures within ten days of the due date is considered an “event of default”.  As such, the entire balance of principal and interest on The Dutchess Notes are payable on demand.On December 1, 2010, the Company received a notice of default from Dutchess Private Equities Fund requiring payment in full of outstanding obligations.  The Company is attempting to resolve these outstanding obligations with Dutchess Private Equities Fund.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these attempts.
