CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements that we make in this report. For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to many things. Some of these things are:


·

trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations for our limited history;

·

our business and growth strategies;

·

our technology;

·

the Internet; and

·

our financing plans.


We caution readers that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties. In fact, actual results most likely will differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Some factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include:


·

our limited operating history;

·

our lack of sales to date;

·

our future requirements for additional capital funding;

·

the failure of our technology and products to perform as specified;

·

the discontinuance of growth in the use of the Internet;

·

our failure to integrate certain acquired businesses with our business;

·

the enactment of new adverse government regulations; and

·

the development of better technology and products by others.


You should carefully consider and evaluate all of these factors. In addition, we do not undertake to update forward-looking statements after we file this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, even if new information, future events or other circumstances have made them incorrect or misleading.

PART II


Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item 7 of this Annual Report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which could cause actual results to differ materially from management's expectations. Factors that could cause differences include, but are not limited to, expected market demand for our products, as well as general conditions of the Internet security marketplace.


Overview


1st Alerts Agreements have all been Rescinded


1st agrees that as consideration for the execution of this Rescission Agreement, it shall: (a) relinquish and forever waive any ownership claim or right to the 13,000,000 shares of VSUT common stock issued to the shareholders of 1st, or their designees pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement; including 200 shares of participating preferred shares issued subsequent to the Acquisition Agreement, and (b) to delivered forthwith to VSUT said shares, medallion guaranteed, with a notarized third party release, and notarized corporate resolution from 1st.   


VSUS Technologies Incorporated (“the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 20, 2000. Following its establishment, the Company organized, at the end of 2000, two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Safe Mail International Ltd., a company registered in the British Virgin Islands and Safe Mail Development Ltd., a company registered in Israel. As of August 31, 2004, the Company established two additional wholly-owned subsidiaries: VSUS Secured Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and First Info Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Since inception, and until a recent shift in the focus of its business operations, the Company had been a developer and marketer of highly secure communications systems for use over the Internet.


Effective as of April 13, 2005, the Company reorganized its business by transferring substantially all of its business assets into VSUS Secured Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary. Consequently, its two subsidiaries, Safe Mail Development Ltd. and Safe Mail International Ltd., became subsidiaries of VSUS Secured Services, Inc.


On April 14, 2005, VSUS Technologies Incorporated acquired 1stAlerts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“1stAlerts”), a company that develops, markets and sells software applications, when 1stAlerts merged with and into the Company's wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, First Info Network, Inc., hereinafter referred to as the “1stAlerts Acquisition”. At the time of the 1stAlerts Acquisition, among other things: (i) the Company exchanged 13,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, and 200 shares of its Series B Participating Preferred Stock, for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of 1stAlerts, (ii) the Company issued 1,861,841 of its Class A Warrants in exchange for warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of 1stAlerts, (iii) the Company assumed $4,565,000 of promissory and convertible notes from 1stAlerts, and (iv) certain officers and directors of 1stAlerts became officers and directors of the Company. The 200 shares of series B Participating Preferred Stock, the 1.861,841 Class A Warrants which were never registered and a portion of the Convertible Notes were cancelled as a part of the June 24, 2009 Rescission Agreement with 1st Alerts. The Company returned all of the Capitol stock of 1st Alerts as part of the 2009 Rescission Agreement. No remaining 1st Alerts Officers and Directors currently serve as Officers or Directors of the Company.


Each of the 1,861,841 Class A Warrants the Company issued in connection with the 1stAlerts Acquisition have a term of a term of two years from the effective date of a registration statement the Company's obligated to file to register, among other of its securities, the shares of the Company's Common Stock underlying these warrants, and an exercise price of $0.19. The class A Warrants and the registration obligation of the company have been negated and cancelled pursuant to the 2009 Rescission Agreement.


Following our acquisition of 1stAlerts, we shifted our business operations to primarily focus on the 1stAlerts business model. In connection with this change, we have terminated our operations in Israel.


In June 2005, we were introduced to NetCurrents Information Services, Inc. (“NetCurrents”), which owns a patented REAL-TIME search engine technology called “FIRST.” Our management believed that incorporating FIRST into the company's MyOneScreen software application would give it a competitive advantage over its competitors. On June 9, 2005, we entered into a strategic relationship with NetCurrents, pursuant to which NetCurrents granted us a 50-year license to modify and integrate NetCurrent’s patented FIRST (Fast Internet Real-Time Search Technology) Internet search technology (the "NetCurrents Technology") into our products.



6




In March 2006, we entered into a Memo of Understanding with Scientigo, Inc. (“Scientigo”), to integrate their patented TIGO Artificial Intelligence technology with FIRST. Scientigo is an emerging technology company that invented, patented and licenses the next-generation of intelligent document recognition, intelligent enterprise content management and intelligent search technologies. Their patented TIGO technology creates order from chaos by using artificial intelligence, machine learning, rule-based systems and patented XML technology to make it faster, easier and less costly to capture, file, organize and retrieve any type of information.


In March of 2009 we entered into an LOI with My Vintage Baby, Inc. the company was going to acquire a majority interest in MVBY. Due to certain circumstances the company was not able to complete the acquisition. In September 2009 the company signed an LOI with ZenZuu, Inc., a leader in the internet social networking field; the company is in the process of completing that acquisition. The company is also currently seeking, and entertaining businesses with internet technology and other Intellectual properties that fulfill and complete our current business plan.


VSUS Technologies is a growing company specializing in acquisitions of revenue generating businesses. The company has daily interactions with possible acquisition targets looking to expand our operations and the company revenue stream. We have recently signed an Agreement to acquire a mining concession by the name of La Tabaquera in Colombia.  Over the past year the Company has continued to search for the right business plan and business model to add to the company's overall value. With core values of environmental and capital stewardship, we will strive to become good environmental neighbors and provide all shareholders operating and financial transparency. Our Company will have three revenue producing business units in Colombia: coking and coal mining in Guaduas, Colombia, docks and river transportation along the Magdalena River, and a coal export terminal on the northern coast of Colombia. The Company is also exploring allegiances with U.S. universities to study capturing Coal Bed Methane (CBM) in Colombia. 


About Guaduas, Colombia


 Our first mining acquisition is in the town of Guaduas, Colombia.  VSUS Technologies will become a responsible neighbor in Guaduas.  The company will sponsor health centers, schools, and many other causes when needed.  Under Colombian law, mining companies are required to donate for social benefit.  Mr. Erasmo Almanza, shareholder, has strong ties to the community and expects VSUS Technologies to have the full faith and support of the Town of Guaduas. Guaduas is a municipality of 35,000 people with excellent electrical and water supply and an ample workforce. For more information on Guaduas, click.http://translate.google.com.co/translate?u=http://www.guaduas-cundinamarca.gov.co&hl=es&ie=UTF-8&sl=es&tl=en


The company has moved into the coal industry in Colombia, due to the rising prices in oil worldwide we feel that this industry is beneficial to our company and our strategy to move forward while drawing attention from the public to invest in a promising industry and company.


We are a development stage enterprise. To date we have incurred significant losses from operations and, at December 31, 2010, had an accumulated deficit of $25,000,000. At December 31, 2010 we had $3,000 of cash and cash equivalents. In 2003, 2004 and 2005, we raised an aggregate of approximately $3,943,000 in financing to fund our operations. Until such time as we generate sufficient revenues from operations, we will continue to be dependent on raising substantial amounts of additional capital through any one of a combination of debt offerings or equity offerings. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital when necessary.


Results of Operations


The Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010


Revenue: Revenue was $-0- in the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $800 in the year ended December 31, 2010.


General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $4,260 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $2,000 for year ended December 31, 2009 due to costs associated with the operations of the public company.


In addition the Company upon review of its valuation of fixed assets has impaired the entire amount of $150,000


Net loss increased to $153,460 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from net loss of $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, due to the above analysis of Income and Expenses.


Our revenues and future profitability are substantially dependent on our ability to:


·

continue the development of products based on our technology;

·

identify additional clients to purchase our products;

·

continue to operate successfully;



7



·

modify our software applications, over time, to provide enhanced benefits to then-existing users;

·

raise substantial amounts of additional capital through any one of a combination of debt offerings or equity offerings, if necessary; and

·

continue to grow our business through acquisitions.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


General: We are a development stage enterprise. As such, our historical results of operations are unlikely to provide a meaningful understanding of the activities expected to take place over the next twelve months. Our major initiatives through that period are:


·

furthering the development of our products;

·

obtaining commercial sales of our products, and continuing our current marketing program; and

·

seeking acquisitions of additional businesses and assets that will be beneficial to our company and its stockholders.


Since inception, we have primarily funded our operations from private placements of debt and equity. Until such time as we are able to generate adequate revenues from the sale of our software applications, we cannot assure that cash from the issuance of debt securities, the exercise of existing warrants and the placements of additional equity securities will be sufficient to fund our long-term research and development and general and administrative expenses.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



Board of Directors

VSUS Technologies, Incorporated

Canyon Country, California


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VSUS Technologies, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (September 20, 2000) to December 31, 2010.  These 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 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.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


The Company has not generated significant revenues or profits to date. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity,  and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and from inception (September 20, 2000) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards.

VSUS TECHNOLOGIES INCORPO RATED

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND ACQUISITION


ACQUISITION


VSUS Technologies Incorporated (“the Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 20, 2000. Following its establishment, the Company organized, at the end of 2000, two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Safe Mail International Ltd., a company registered in the British Virgin Islands and Safe Mail Development Ltd., a company registered in Israel. As of August 31, 2004, the Company established two additional wholly-owned subsidiaries: VSUS Secured Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and First Info Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Since inception, and until a recent shift in the focus of its business operations, the Company had been a developer and marketer of highly secure communications systems for use over the Internet.


Effective as of April 13, 2005, the Company reorganized its business by transferring substantially all of its business assets into VSUS Secured Services, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary. Consequently, its two subsidiaries, Safe Mail Development Ltd. and Safe Mail International Ltd., became subsidiaries of VSUS Secured Services, Inc.


On April 14, 2005, VSUS Technologies Incorporated acquired 1stAlerts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“1stAlerts”), a company that develops, markets and sells software applications, when 1stAlerts merged with and into the Company's wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, First Info Network, Inc., hereinafter referred to as the “1stAlerts Acquisition”. At the time of the 1stAlerts Acquisition, among other things: (i) the Company exchanged 13,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, and 200 shares of its Series B Participating Preferred Stock, for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of 1stAlerts, (ii) the Company issued 1,861,841 of its Class A Warrants in exchange for warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of 1stAlerts, (iii) the Company assumed $4,565,000 of promissory and convertible notes from 1stAlerts, and (iv) certain officers and directors of 1stAlerts became officers and directors of the Company. The 200 shares of series B Participating Preferred Stock, the 1.861,841 Class A Warrants which were never registered and a portion of the Convertible Notes were cancelled as a part of the June 24, 2009 Rescission Agreement with 1st Alerts. The Company returned all of the Capitol stock of 1st Alerts as part of the 2009 Rescission Agreement. No remaining 1st Alerts Officers and Directors currently serve as Officers or Directors of the Company.


Each of the 1,861,841 Class A Warrants the Company issued in connection with the 1stAlerts Acquisition have a term of a term of two years from the effective date of a registration statement the Company's obligated to file to register, among other of its securities, the shares of the Company's Common Stock underlying these warrants, and an exercise price of $0.19. The class A Warrants and the registration obligation of the company have been negated and cancelled pursuant to the 2009 Rescission Agreement.


The pre-acquisition stockholders of 1stAlerts have been granted the option to purchase up to 95% of the shares of First Info Network, Inc. from the Company under certain circumstances, pursuant to a Call Option Agreement the Company entered into with them.


Since, at the effective time of the 1stAlerts Acquisition, the Company maintained (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the combined company, (ii) officers who ranked higher than the incoming pre-acquisition 1stAlerts officers, and (iii) the ability to elect and appoint a voting majority of the governing board, the acquisition was treated as a forward merger with the Company as the accounting acquirer.


Following its acquisition of 1stAlerts, the Company shifted its business operations to primarily focus on the 1stAlerts business model. In connection with this change, the Company terminated its business operations in Israel.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


1st Alerts Agreements have all been Rescinded


1st agrees that as consideration for the execution of this Rescission Agreement, it shall: (a) relinquish and forever waive any ownership claim or right to the 13,000,000 shares of VSUT common stock issued to the shareholders of 1st, or their designees pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement; including 200 shares of participating preferred shares issued subsequent to the Acquisition Agreement, and (b) to delivered forthwith to VSUT said shares, medallion guaranteed, with a notarized third party release, and notarized corporate resolution from 1st.   



F-8




Management's plans in this regard include raising additional cash from current and potential stockholders and lenders, making strategic acquisitions and increasing the marketing of its products and services. As a result of the Company's acquisition of 1stAlerts, and the anticipated cash flow from the combined company's operations, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital to fund its operations. However, until such time as the Company generates sufficient revenues from the sale of its products, the Company will continue to be dependent on raising substantial amounts of additional capital through any one of a combination of debt offerings or equity offerings. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any future financing will be available to the Company when needed, and on commercially reasonable terms. The Company's inability to derive sufficient revenues from the sale of its products, or obtain additional financing when needed, would have a material adverse effect on the company, requiring the Company to curtail or cease operations. In addition, any equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company's then current stockholders.


Being a development stage company, the Company is subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new enterprise and the marketing and manufacturing of a new product, many of which risks are beyond the control of the Company. All of these factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary as a result of the above uncertainty.


On February 24, 2011, VSUS Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has closed the Final Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Erasmo Alfredo Almanza Latorre, a Columbian Citizen. The agreement provides for the acquisition of LA TABAQUERA COAL MINE (LA TABAQUERA) with Concession Contract No. ILE-09551, granted for the Exploration and Exploitation of a Carbon Mineral and other Grantable Mineral Deposits by the Colombian Institute of Geology and Mining. The Concession will become wholly owned by VSUS Technologies, Inc.


Pursuant to the Agreement and addendum, the Company purchased 100% of LA TABAQUERA, and any and all of  its subsidiaries, the consideration paid to Erasmo Almanza is an aggregate of 5,606,410 full paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”), for 100% of all of the outstanding shares of LA TABAQUERA.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated


Financial Reporting


The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Revenues and expenses are reported on the accrual basis, which means that income is recognized as it is earned and expenses are recognized as they are incurred.


Use of Estimates


The Company’s significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts and accrued expenses. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the financial statements taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such estimates, when known, will vary from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include all interest-bearing deposits or investments with maturities of three and nine months or less.


CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insured institution insures up to $250,000 on account balances. The amounts that are not insured by FDIC limitations are held in short-term securities.



F-9




Fair value of financial instruments


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debenture and loans payable approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.


Accounts Receivable


The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its expectations.


IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF


The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires write-downs 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 amount.


GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS


In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements.


Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized generally on a straight-line basis over the periods benefited, with a weighted average useful life of 15 years.


In performing this assessment, management uses the income approach and the similar transactions method of the market approach to develop the fair value of the acquisition in order to assess its potential impairment of goodwill. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow model which relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. Rates used to discount future cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. The similar transactions method is a market approach methodology in which the fair value of a business is estimated by analyzing the prices at which companies similar to the subject, which are used as guidelines, have sold in controlling interest transactions (mergers and acquisitions). Target companies are compared to the subject company, and multiples paid in transactions are analyzed and applied to subject company data, resulting in value indications. Comparability can be affected by, among other things, the product or service produced or sold, geographic markets served, competitive position, profitability, growth expectations, size, risk perception, and capital structure. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. It is possible that assumptions underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner that impairment in value may occur in the future.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


Revenue for video streaming and maintenance services is recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of contracts or purchase orders, which have prices that are fixed and determinable. The Company assesses the client’s ability to meet the contract terms, including meeting payment obligations, before entering into the contract. Deferred revenue results from customers who are billed for monitoring in advance of the period in which the services are provided, on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.



F-10




The Company follows Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 (SAB 104), which requires the Company to defer certain installation revenue and expenses, primarily equipment related to, and direct labor incurred. The capitalized costs and deferred revenues related to the installation are then amortized over the life of an average customer relationship, on a straight line basis. If the customer is discontinued prior to the expiration of the original expected life, the unamortized portion of the deferred installation revenue and related capitalized costs are recognized in the period the discontinuation becomes effective. In accordance with EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, the service contracts that include both installation and video streaming are considered a single unit of accounting. The criteria in EITF 00-21 that the Company does not meet for services and installation services to be considered separate units of accounting is that the installation service to customers has no stand alone value. The installation service

alone is not functional to customers without the service.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are currently charged to expense. Any gain or loss on disposition of assets is recognized currently in the statement of income.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.


INCOME TAXES


The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 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. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48. The Company does not have any interest and penalties in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.


EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE


Earnings (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The outstanding warrants for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively are anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in earnings (loss) per share.


ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service.


In addition, a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value. The fair value of that award has been re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.


For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not grant any stock options.



F-11




NON-EMPLOYEE STOCK BASED COMPENSATION


The cost of stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”).


COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS


The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). Based on the provisions of EITF 00-19, the Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement, or (ii) gives the company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the company), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).


INCOME TAXES


The Company accounts for income taxes using SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect that this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“the FSP”). The FSP provides guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under the FSP, a tax position could be effectively settled on completion of examination by a taxing authority if the entity does not intend to appeal or litigate the result and it is remote that the taxing authority would examine or re-examine the tax position. The Company does not expect that this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


NOTE 3 - GOING-CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN


The accompanying 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. However, as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations since inception. Management anticipates incurring additional losses in 2010 and 2009. Further, the Company may incur additional losses thereafter, depending on its ability to generate revenues from the licensing or sale of its technologies and products. The Company's technologies and products have never been utilized on a large-scale commercial basis and there is no assurance that any of its technologies or products will receive market acceptance. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company's operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 resulted in a net loss of $153,460 and the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $21,851,000 through the period ended December 31, 2010.


This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.



F-12




Management's plans in this regard include raising additional cash from current and potential stockholders and lenders, making strategic acquisitions and increasing the marketing of its products and services. However, until such time as the Company generates sufficient revenues from the sale of its products, the Company will continue to be dependent on raising substantial amounts of additional capital through any one of a combination of debt offerings or equity offerings. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any future financing will be available to the Company when needed, and on commercially reasonable terms. The Company's inability to derive sufficient revenues from the sale of its products, or obtain additional financing when needed, would have a material adverse effect on the company, requiring the Company to curtail or cease operations. In addition, any equity financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company's then current stockholders.


Being a development stage company, the Company is subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new enterprise and the marketing and manufacturing of a new product, many of which risks are beyond the control of the Company. All of these factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary as a result of the above uncertainty.


NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Accounting Standards Codification


In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”). This standard replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), authoritative and nonauthoritative. The FASB ASC has become the source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification changed the Company’s references to GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.


Participating Securities Granted in Share-Based Transactions


Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities). The new guidance clarifies that non-vested share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities and included in basic earnings per share. The Company’s adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material effect on previously issued or current earnings per share.


Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests


Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 805, Business Combinations (formerly SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations). The new standard applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. Additionally, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement date for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose additional information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The Company’s adoption of the new accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 810, Consolidations (formerly SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements). The new accounting standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (or minority interests) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by requiring all noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the same way, as equity in the consolidated financial statements. As such, this guidance has eliminated the diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. The Company’s adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure


Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) (formerly FASB FSP No 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157), which delayed the effective date for disclosing all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for determining when a transaction is not orderly and for estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820 (formerly FSP 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly), requires disclosure of the inputs and valuation techniques used, as well as any changes in valuation techniques and inputs used during the period, to measure fair value in interim and annual periods. In addition, the presentation of the fair value hierarchy is required to be presented by major security type as described


in ASC 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. The provisions of the new standard were effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the new standard on April 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 820, (formerly FSP 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments). The new standard requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies in addition to the annual disclosure required at year-end. The provisions of the new standard were effective for the interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, provides clarification that in certain circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a company is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following valuation techniques: the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, the quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurements. The new guidance clarifies that a company is not required to include an adjustment for restrictions that prevent the transfer of the liability and if an adjustment is applied to the quoted price used in a valuation technique, the result is a Level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133). The new accounting standard requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since the new accounting standard only required additional disclosure, the adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Other-Than-Temporary Impairments


In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for the accounting for other-than-temporary impairments. Under the new guidance, which is part of ASC 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (formerly FSP 115-2 and 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments), an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized when an entity has the intent to sell a debt security or when it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery in value. The new guidance does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events



F-14




In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for subsequent events. The new guidance, which is part of ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events) is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying financial statements were issued.


Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective


Accounting for the Transfers of Financial Assets


In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140, was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2009-16. The new standard eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt the new guidance in 2010 and is evaluating the impact it will have to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Accounting for Variable Interest Entities


In June 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities. The revised guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, Amending FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of ASU 2009-17. The revised guidance amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, in determining whether an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This determination identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The revised guidance requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary. The Company does not expect that the provisions of the new guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.


Revenue Recognition


In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The new standard changes the requirements for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable based on the relative selling price. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available, third-party evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect that the provisions of the new guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.


In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-14, "Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements" ("ASU No. 2009-14"). ASU No. 2009-14 amends guidance included within ASC Topic 985-605 to exclude tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality.  Entities that sell joint hardware and software products that meet this scope exception will be required to follow the guidance of ASU No. 2009-13.  ASU No. 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted.  The company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2009-14.


Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 5 - RECLASSIFICATIONS


Certain prior periods' balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period's financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders' equity.


In assessing the amount of deferred tax asset to be recognized, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some of the losses will be used in the future. Management expects that they will not have benefit in the future. Accordingly, a fully valuation allowance has been established.


NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK


LOSS PER COMMON SHARE


Basic loss per common share is computed based upon weighted-average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into Common Stock based upon the average market price of common shares outstanding during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no effect has been given to outstanding options, warrants, convertible debentures and convertible preferred stock in the diluted computation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share (EPS) in the future, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, consist of the following:


Convertible Debt

1,428,571

Total as of December 31, 2010

1,428,571

Based on conversion rate of .70% of bid price.


NOTE 7 - ACQUISITION


On April 14, 2005, the Company consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of 1stAlerts.

The Company returned all of the Capitol stock of 1st Alerts as part of the 2009 Rescission Agreement. No remaining 1st Alerts Officers and Directors currently serve as Officers or Directors of the Company.


Each of the 1,861,841 Class A Warrants the Company issued in connection with the 1stAlerts Acquisition have a term of a term of two years from the effective date of a registration statement the Company's obligated to file to register, among other of its securities, the shares of the Company's Common Stock underlying these warrants, and an exercise price of $0.19. The class A Warrants and the registration obligation of the company have been negated and cancelled pursuant to the 2009 Rescission Agreement.


On February 24, 2011, VSUS Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has closed the Final Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Erasmo Alfredo Almanza Latorre, a Columbian Citizen.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.


On December 6, 2009, we engaged Larry O’Donnell, PA as our independent registered public accounting firm. The change was approved by our Board of Directors and was made in order to have access to a firm which had local offices. VSUS had not consulted with Larry O’Donnell, PA during our most recent fiscal year, and the subsequent interim period prior to December 6, 2009, regarding the application of accounting principles to any contemplated or completed transactions nor the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements. Nor was written or oral advice provided that would be a factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues


On December 14, 2010, Larry O'Donnell, CPA, P.A., its independent public accountant resigned due to Larry O'Donnell's license being revoked by the PCAOB.


Larry O'Donnell, CPA, P.A.'s reports on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that its report contained a going concern qualification as to the ability of us to continue.


January 1, 2010 through December 14, 2010, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Larry O'Donnell, CPA, P.C., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report as described in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.


On January 4, 2011 the board of directors of VSUS engaged the accounting firm of Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc. as principal accountants of VSUS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  VSUS did not consult with Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc. during the most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc. on January 4, 2011 regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on VSUS’s financial statements.  Neither written nor oral advice was provided that was an important factor considered by Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc. in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.


We had no other changes of, or disagreements with, our auditors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, or subsequent periods through the date hereof.


Item 9A. Controls and Procedures:


Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

(a) 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.


The matters involving internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures that were considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; The material weaknesses were subsequently reported to management and the Board of Directors.


The Company is making every effort possible to make the disclosure controls effective as soon as possible in 2011.



9




Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2010. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is making every effort possible to make its internal controls effective as soon as possible in 2011. See below for additional information concerning internal controls over financial reporting.


(b)  

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2010. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's critical accounting policies identified since the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2009.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.


The matters involving internal controls over financial reporting and procedures that were considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The material weaknesses were subsequently reported to management and the Board of Directors.
