EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This  Form 10-K/A is being filed as Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for US Highland, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 12, 2011 (the “Original Filing”) for the purpose of amending and restating the Company’s  financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 collectively, the “Financial Statements”) as discussed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

 

Background of the Restatement

 

On September 5, 2013, the Board of Directors of U.S Highland, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded that the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon. The board reached its conclusion after management informed the board that in preparing the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 management became aware that the December 31, 2010 financial statements contained errors related to certain assets, liabilities and equity transactions and would need to be restated.

 

In July 2010, the Company lost three members of its management in an airplane crash in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Subsequent to filing the December 31, 2010 financial statements, the Company assembled a new management team. The Company’s new management determined that certain items recognized as assets as at December 31, 2010 did not have future benefits. Accordingly, we wrote off assets with a total carrying value of $3,346,964.

 

In addition, the Company’s new management identified errors relating to the classification of short term loans, the issuance of a convertible note and the issuance of common stock for non-cash consideration. We have reclassified short term loans from accounts payable to notes payable in the current liability section of the balance sheet. We have corrected the accounting for a convertible note and have recorded a derivative liability, as well as interest expense and the gain or loss in the change in derivative liability during the period. The common stock issuances were incorrectly recorded at an amount that did not represent fair market value. Accordingly, we corrected the accounting for non-cash issuances of common stock and increased share-based compensation by $24,471,490, asset acquisition by $557,482, and settlement of debt by $14,073,840.

 

The effect of the (non-cash) changes in our accounting treatment related to the above balance sheet corrections resulted in an increase in our net loss as reported in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $42,638,473.  Our basic and diluted loss attributable to common shareholders per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $3.53 per share to a loss of $3.72 per share.  The cumulative effect on our balance sheet was to decrease our assets by $3,346,964 to $43,276, increase our liabilities by $49,678 to $612,574, and decrease our stockholders’ equity by $3,396,642 to a deficit of $(569,298) as of December 31, 2010. 

 

Amended Items

 

The Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations, Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes 2, 4, and 7 to the Financial Statements included as Part II, Item 8 in this Form 10-K/A have been amended and restated.

 

We have made necessary conforming changes in Item 7 of Part II “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.     

 

In connection with the identification of these errors, management reviewed its controls and procedures and determined that these errors constituted a material weakness in the operation of certain of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, Item 9A of Part II, “Controls and Procedures,” has been updated.

 

The Amended Filing also includes Exhibits 31 and 32 new certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Rule 12b-15.

 

Except for the amended disclosure set forth below, no other information included in the Original Filing is being amended by this Amended Filing. The Amended Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing. We have not updated the filing to reflect events occurring subsequent to the Original Filing date other than those associated with the restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, this Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information includes statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing efforts, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management, and other matters. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these similar terms. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information.

 

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including the following: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions, (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations, (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash, which are explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required under the applicable federal securities laws.

 

PART II

 

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form

10-K/A.

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

 

This Report on Form 10-K/A and the financial statements and notes to financial statements contain

forward-looking statements, which generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future economic performance and our current beliefs regarding

implementation of our business strategies. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

The Company is a recreational powersports original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), which develops motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

 

Revenues

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had total revenues of $1,519,364 as compared with total revenues of $454,182 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to the change in the Company’s business plan and operations from communications to recreational powersports and the engineering development of its motorcycles and engines.

 

3

 


 
 

Historically through its association with the Swedish company, Highland Group AB, the Company has generated revenues from engineering development and business development activities.  These activities remained a source of revenues for the Company as it shifted from primarily development activities to OEM manufacturing.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $472,129 resulting in a gross profit of $1,047,225 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2009 due to fact that the revenues in 2009 were associated with non-product related sales. 

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $44,936,912, compared to net income of $47,099 for the year ended 2009. The large loss in fiscal 2010 was derived primarily from the issuance of common stock for compensation and services of $24,471,490, as well as losses on settlement of debt of $14,073,840.  Management determined that as at December 31, 2010, there were no future benefits associated with its inventory, accounts receivable, and certain property and equipment. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on write-off of assets of $2,368,221 and a loss on write-off of goodwill of $143,820.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $45,340,277, which was comprised primarily of $40,367,418 for general and administrative expenses, $4,794,740 for inventory write-down for obsolescence, and $188,857 for other expenses, as compared to operating expenses of $396,035 for the year ended December 31, 2009 which was comprised of $269,484 for general and administrative expenses, $102,031 for racing expenses, and $24,520 for other expenses. The large increase of $40,097,934 in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from the issuance of common stock for compensation and services in the amount of $24,471,490 and the issuance of common stock for debt settlement resulting in a loss of $14,073,840.

 

Total Current Liabilities

 

The Company had total current liabilities of $594,527 as at December 31, 2010 compared with $275,251 as at December 31, 2009. The increase in current liabilities is mainly from the recognition of a derivative liability of $35,520 (2009 - $0), convertible note of $58,333 (2009 - $0) and other notes payable of $121,633 (2009 - $0).  There was also an increase in accounts payable of $86,359 from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2010, we had cash of $11,963 and a working capital deficiency of $582,564. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing, upon cash generated from our operations and our ability to borrow cash when needed from related parties. We estimated that we will require $1,200,000 over the next twelve month period ending December 31, 2010 and at least $600,000 to eliminate our working capital deficiency. Management believes that our cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirement for the next twelve months primarily through equity and or debt financings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.  

 

During fiscal 2010, we used $745,104 from operating activities and incurred $284,192 to acquire property and equipment.  This compares to fiscal 2009 when we had $71,702 provided from operating activities and incurred $171,197 to acquire investments, property and equipment. We received net proceeds of $656,153 from the issue of common stock during fiscal 2010 as compared to $357,149 during fiscal 2009. We also received $137,075 from the issuance of short-term debt during fiscal 2009, as compared to $0 in fiscal 2010.

 

As of December 31, 2010 we did not have any established any lines of credit with any banks or any other arrangements, agreements, or commitments for financing our operations.

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has suffering recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency of $44,889,913 as of December 31, 2010. Management believes that adequate funding will be available to the Company to support its operations through continuing investments of equity by qualified investors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets.

 

There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, its independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the Financial Statements regarding concerns about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to the auditor’s opinion. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Recent Pronouncements  

 

Management does not anticipate that the new accounting pronouncements listed above will have a material impact on the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

US Highland, Inc.

Tulsa, Oklahoma

 

To the Board of Directors:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of US Highlands, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of US Highland, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

US Highland, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

On July 1, 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") the single source of authoritative non-government U.S. generally accepted principals("GAAP"), except for rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC literature not included in the ASC is non-authoritative. As the ASC was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

US Highland, Inc. was originally formed as a Limited Liability Company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma.  On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc.  On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the state of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc.  US Highland, Inc. is a recreational powersports OEM, developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments (those readily convertible to cash) purchased with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

In 2007 The Company had completed its conversion to a C-Corporation under the laws of the state of Oklahoma. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740. Income taxes under ASC 740 income taxes are recognized for the following: i) amount of taxes payable for the current year, and ii) deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

It is the Company's policy to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when it believes there is a potential for non-collectability.

 

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which superseded SAB No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB No. 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. SAB No. 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-21,"Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements." EITF No. 00-21 addressesaccounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF No. 00-21 on the Company's financial position and results of operations was not significant. This issue addresses determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. EITF No. 00-21 became effective for revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after September 15, 2003.

 

12

 


 
 

For those contracts which contain multiple deliverables, management must first determine whether each service, or deliverable, meets the separation criteria of EITF No. 00-21. In general, a deliverable (or a group of deliverables) meets the separation criteria if the deliverable has standalone value to the customer and if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the remaining deliverables in the arrangement. Each deliverable that meets the separation criteria is considered a "separate unit of accounting." Management allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separate unit of accounting based on the relative fair value of each separate unit of accounting. The amount of arrangement consideration that is allocated to a unit of accounting that has already been delivered is limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another separate unit of accounting. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to each separate unit of accounting, management applies the appropriate revenue recognition method for each separate unit of accounting as described previously based on the nature of the arrangement. All deliverables that do not meet the separation criteria of EITF No. 00-21 are combined into one unit of accounting, and the appropriate revenue recognition method is applied.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold include all direct equipment, amortization, material, shipping costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Changes in contract performance, contract conditions, and estimated profitability that may result in revisions to costs and income that are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Such costs totaled approximately $4,400 and $0 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

 

Use of Estimates

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

Equipment is stated at cost and depreciated, using the straight line method, over a useful life of 5 years. Depreciation expense was $16,198 and $5,168 for 2010 and 2009 respectively.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gain or loss being reflected in results of operations.

 

Management assesses the recoverability of equipment and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from its future undiscounted cash flows. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010- 22, "Accounting for Various Topics". ASU 2010-22 addresses technical corrections to various SEC paragraphs. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2010-22 will have on its financial statements.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-21, "Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. ASU 2010-21 amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2010-21 will have on its financial statements.

 

13


 
 

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) as an update to the April 2009 FASB issued FSP No. FAS 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" ("FSP FAS 157-4").  FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly.  Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 or FSP FAS 157-4 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-05, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)". ASU 2010-05 addresses escrowed share arrangements and the presumption of compensation. The Company does not have escrowed share arrangements and therefore does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-05 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS No.166"). SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 166 improves the comparability of information that a reporting entity provides regarding transfers of financial assets and the effects on its financial statements. SFAS No. 166 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after November 15, 2009.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (tm) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS No. 168"). SFAS No. 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 168, which has no effect on the Company's financial statements as it is for disclosure purposes only.

 

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our financial statements and do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications may have been made in prior years' financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

 

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT

 

The Financial Statements included in the Original Filing contained errors and were restated to correct the previous accounting treatment to various balance sheet items.

 

In July 2010, the Company lost three members of its management in an airplane crash in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Subsequent to filing the December 31, 2010 financial statements, the Company assembled a new management team. The Company’s new management determined that certain items recognized as assets as at December 31, 2010 did not have future benefits. Accordingly, we wrote off assets with a total carrying value of $3,346,964.

 

In addition, the Company’s new management identified errors relating to the classification of short term loans, the accounting for a convertible note payable and the issuance of common stock for non-cash consideration. We have reclassified short term loans from accounts payable to notes payable in the current liability section of the balance sheet. The convertible debenture was incorrectly accounted for and a related derivative liability was not recognized. Accordingly, we recorded the convertible debenture and related derivative liability, as well as interest expense and the loss in the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the period. The common stock issuances were incorrectly recorded at an amount that did not represent fair market value. Accordingly, we corrected the accounting

 

14


 
 

for non-cash issuances of common stock and increased share-based compensation by $24,471,490, asset acquisitions by $557,482, and settlement of debt by $14,073,840.

 

The effect of the (non-cash) changes in our accounting treatment related to the above balance sheet corrections resulted in an increase in our net loss as reported in our statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $42,638,473.  Our basic and diluted loss attributable to common shareholders per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $3.53 per share to a loss of $3.72 per share.  The cumulative effect on our balance sheet was to decrease our assets by $3,346,964 to $43,276, increase our liabilities by $49,678 to $612,574, and decrease our stockholders’ equity by $3,396,642 to a deficit of $(569,298) as of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT'S PLAN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $44,936,912 in 2010 which increased the accumulated deficit to $44,889,813 at December 31, 2010.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that adequate funding will be available to the Company to support its operations through continuing investments of equity by qualified investors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets.

 

The Company is currently completing the process for establishing a new board of directors and hiring new management group to overcome the set back caused by the tragic death of three members of its management team in July 2010.  The new management group has plans to raise additional capital through the sale of Company stock and seeking loans from other sources, both within and without the Company.

 

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

Effective January 25, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $225,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was due on December 21, 2010.  The note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 28 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments.  Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $538,249 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $225,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $313,249. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the convertible note has been fully accreted over the term up to the face value of the convertible note.

 

On June 2, 2010, the Company issued 191,571 restricted shares of common stock upon the conversion of the principal amount of $166,667. The fair value of the derivative liability at June 2, 2010, was $266,425 and $197,352 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon conversion. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $225,000 of interest expense had been recorded and at December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the note is $58,333. The Company did not repay the remaining outstanding principal on the maturity date.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The embedded conversion option in the Company’s convertible note described in Note 4 contains a conversion feature that qualifies for embedded derivative classification.  The fair value of this liability will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The fair value of the derivative liability on issuance was $538,249 and at December 31, 2010 the fair value was $35,520.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a settlement of derivative liability through the conversion of debt of $197,352 and recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $7,872.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair values of the derivative liabilities. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

NOTE 8 - SIGNIFICANT CASH AND/OR STOCK BASED ACQUISITIONS OF ASSETS

 

In three separate transactions involving cash and/or stock:

 

On March 5, 2010 the Company acquired $400,000 in finished goods inventory from RSGA International, Inc., in a transaction in which the Company exchanged $60,000 cash and 100,000 shares of its common stock.

The fair market value of the inventory was determined based on the cost of finished goods inventory at the time of the transaction.

 

On March 31, 2010 the Company acquired $1 million of components and finished goods inventory from ATK of Oklahoma, Inc. in a transaction in which the Company exchanged $171,770 in cash and 207,507 shares of its common stock.  The fair market value of the components and finished goods inventory was determined based on the cost of the components and finished goods inventory at the time of the transaction.

 

The Company acquired intellectual property from the Highland Group AB, the Swedish company which caused US Highland, Inc. March 31, 2010 transaction with no compensation at time of acquisition with agreement that a future compensation would be mutually agreed upon based on a twelve month implementation technology. Acquisition value was management's opinion of salable forward looking value of intellectual property rights to be formed and from which US Highland, Inc. acquired assets, its brand name, and the US Highland product line). US Highland has decreased the inventory value of assets from their earlier valuation due to the decreased fair market value created by the 2010 distressed economy and its effect upon the company's true sale value of these assets.

ITEM 9.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

 We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of December 31, 2010, in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

 

The Company had not filed its SEC filings since the third quarter of 2011.  Management intends to implement internal controls to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future and that required SEC filings will be timely. Management has retained the services of a new accounting firm, as well as an auditing firm specializing in public companies and a strong reputation in the auditing community. We have also hired a highly qualified Chief Financial Officer with extensive experience with public companies in the manufacturing industry. This newly implemented three tier process ties the Company’s bookkeeping activities with a full service accounting firm that handles all financial reporting activities and the Company’s interface with the selected auditing firm.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our 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 our assets;

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

 

19

 


 
 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

 

Based on our assessment, our management has concluded that, as of the year ended December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria.

 

This 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 registrant's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the registrant to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

 There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
