Corporate History





The Company, a Nevada corporation, was originally organized on November 8, 1993 as B-N-B Enterprises Inc. for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity.  In March of 1998 the company changed its name to All-West Systems International Inc. In September of 2004 the Company again changed its name to Lyon Capital Venture Group on August
31, 2006 and there was a management change. Lyon Capital Venture Group acquired the assets of UTEC Corporation in January 2007, and formally changed its name to UTEC Inc., a Nevada Corporation, in March of 2007.  The Primary SIC — Industry Classification of UTEC Inc. is 4955 - Hazardous Waste Management and the company’s business Stage is a Development Stage Company.










From November 8, 1993, until it acquired UTEC Corporation. in January 2007, the Company was a developmental stage company without any operations.  The business of the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, UTEC Corporation, comprises the entire business of the Company. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2006,
and the year ended December 31, 2007, is the first year during which the Company is considered an operating company and is no longer in the development stage.





On January 10, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Energetic Systems Inc., LLC to acquire 100% of the shares of UTEC Corporation for a total consideration of 22,500,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 common shares and 20,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 preferred shares.  The Technical and Manufacturing
Headquarters of the Company are located at 8500 South East Jayhawk Drive, PO Box 320, Riverton Kansas, 66770.  Its business office is located at Suite 110, 2420 Springer Drive, Norman, Oklahoma, 73069.  The Company operates on the calendar fiscal year ending December 31st.  Currently, the Company has 12 employees, all employed by UTEC Corporation, now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.





Prior to the transaction with Lyon Capital Venture Corp., Messrs. Villamagna and Taylor were Executive Directors of UTEC Corporation, and tasked with finding a means of increasing the sales, market presence and critical mass of UTEC. These were not full time roles at the time (2006), and Mr. Villamagna provided management services through
Red Stone Management Services, LLC, a limited liability company in which Mr. Villamagna is a managing member.





From the period of 2002 to 2006, Energetic Systems, LLC (a company jointly owned American Pacific Corporation (ticker: apfc)) was sole owner of UTEC Corporation, LLC., the predecessor company to UTEC Corporation. During the same period (2002-2006), Mr. Taylor served as CEO of Energetic Systems Inc., LLC., a major shareholder in the Company.
From January 2007, Mr. Taylor served on the Company’s board as a Director, and as Co-Chairman and Corporate Secretary.





Business of Issuer





For more than 30 years, the predecessor companies to the Company’s subsidiary have been involved in the research and development of commercial explosive products used by the construction, quarrying and mining industries in North America and elsewhere in the world.  The legacy business of the company actually had its start in the
commercial explosives business of Gulf Oil Limited, and one of the sites currently occupied by the Company is a former coal mine which was mined by a subsidiary of Gulf Oil, and served as Gulf Explosives bulk truck garage, etc.










The Company operates three marketing units, all under the management of Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, Managing Director and CEO.





1. Energetic Materials, which includes the development and testing of commercial explosives.





2. Specialty Chemicals and Raw Materials, which distributes chemicals that are used in commercial explosives; and





3. Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction, a marketing unit that utilizes a new patented technology for the destruction of biological waste and other hazardous chemicals and military munitions.  This marketing unit is commercializing the Cold Plasma Oxidizer Technology for the total and complete destruction of solid and
liquid hazardous chemicals and biological waste.





The subsequent subsections will describe the “products and services” the Company provides its customers, but the Company does not have a list of commercial or consumer products. The primary offerings of the Company are testing services, which include (i) performance assessment of energetic materials, (ii) analysis of energetic
materials, (iii) velocity of detonation testing, (iv) detonation pressure testing, (v) underwater energy testing, (vi) detonator and gap sensitivity testing, (vii) impact, friction and thermal stability safety testing, (viii) testing required by the DOT and ATF, (ix) international freight safety testing and (x) related activities.





Testing services are conducted for third party companies, but as with any outsourced work, the activities, customers, products and results are held under confidentiality agreements with each customer. The Company is not at liberty to disclose the specifics of this information, as doing so could jeopardize the relationships of the third party
outsourcers with their own customers, and irreparably jeopardize their customer relationships.





The principal end product from these activities are the compositions of formulae that are developed, the embodiment of the products that are developed, or the features of the products that are developed. The developments belong to the company that funded the work or outsourced the work, and the Company’s revenue is derived from the services
and expertise provided.





From time to time the Company also licenses proprietary technology, and receives license fees from licensees. These activities generally relate to patents, intellectual property, or know-how the company owns, and the licensing of the rights to the intellectual property know-how or expertise to other companies.





In addition, while the Company does not manufacture consumer or commercial products under its own brands and brand names, the Company conducts custom manufacturing for other companies under confidential private label contracts. Under these arrangements the Company provides contract manufacturing services to produce products for other companies
under their labels.










The Specialty Chemicals & Raw Materials segment does manufacture a product called “ SNAP,” which is sold to other companies as an additive to their products. Other products potentially sold in this segment include aluminum powder, guar gum, or any other trading opportunity that may present itself. These products are not manufactured
by the Company, but purchased for resale.





The Hazardous Chemicals & Biological Waste Destruction segment is developmental and currently does not sell any units. In fact, the business will not sell these units in the future but instead plans to lease them. The product names and trade names will be disclosed once complete systems are ready for sale. The Company anticipates these
products entering the market in 2009





The Company services domestic and international energetic materials businesses, both in the commercial and munitions businesses. The customer base has been discussed in other sections of this document, but the Company’s customers represent most of the commercial explosives producers, the ATF, DOT, and other government agencies.





In the event that the Company needs to purchase raw materials, the materials required are conventional commodity chemicals, which can be purchased domestically or internationally. Given the generic nature of the raw materials used, they can be obtained from thousands of suppliers.





The Company works in the energetic materials, hazardous chemicals, and related industries, and as such the Company has always been a strong supporter of government regulatory efforts, as these efforts can only improve the health and safety of the Industry. In fact, some of the services the company offers is to help customers carry out the
required testing to qualify for DOT transportation ratings and  approvals, storage approvals, and process safety assessments. The industries in which the Company operates in have always been very heavily regulated, and the company has developed considerable expertise with regulatory approvals that it provides to customers.





Energetic Materials Marketing Unit





This marketing unit is comprised of the company’s legacy business which includes the research, development and testing of commercial explosives.  The technical and manufacturing headquarters are located in Riverton, Kansas, on a two-acre site, which also has a laboratory.  In addition, the company has a pilot plant facility
with an Underwater Testing capability and a full-scale production facility (PRUF – Plant – Propellant Reuse Facility) located on a separate 640 acre site near Hallowell, Kansas.





It is the Company’s belief that today, the Company is one of a very few independent research and testing businesses in the word, located in the most competitive and innovative marketplace for commercial explosives and energetic materials, capable of performing large scale underwater energy tests.










The Company’s customers include companies owned by Orica Limited. and Dyno Nobel (both publicly listed Australian companies) and are the top two global commercial explosives companies. Both have their own research and development facilities, but choose the Company to provide additional services because of our low cost structure, customer
focus, rapid response and quality. While Orica and Dyno represent the two largest explosives producers of commercial explosives in North America, they represent only a sampling of the company’s customer base. The Company currently provides testing, contract research and support services to most of the commercial explosives companies in North America, as well as several international companies. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, Dyno and Orica accounted for less than 30% of total revenue. The
top ten customers account for 85% of revenue.





As stated, the Company’s services have been utilized by most of the other major U.S. commercial explosives producers as well.  Either directly or through subcontracts, the US Department of Defense, Department of Transportation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and other government agencies have also used
the Company’s services.  Equally important, the Company’s customers also include multinational automotive air bag manufacturers, gas generating manufacturers, energetic device manufacturers.  Companies that produce gas-generating devices (such as air bag inflators) represent a rapidly growing segment for the Company. Also, the Company has been a subcontractor on a number of demilitarization programs.





The domestic commercial explosives business consists of Orica Limited and Dyno Nobel, plus over thirty (30) other producers. The Company has conducted testing work for many of these producers, plus the raw material suppliers to this industry. The total number of domestic explosives producers can be obtained from lists published by the Institute
of makers of Explosives (IME) http://www.ime.org), and the International Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE) (http://www.isee.org/).





Specialty Chemicals & Raw Materials





The Specialty Chemicals & Raw Materials Marketing Unit is focused on the commercial explosives industry and is synergistic with the company’s energetic materials business unit.  The objective of this business unit is to be recognized as an international supplier of specialty chemicals to manufacturers in the commercial explosive
industry.  Based on sales this year, this business unit expects to generate increased revenues.  These sales were based solely on specialty chemicals and raw material sales to overseas customers.  The Company’s strengths lie in providing quality and timely services to its customers for a broad range of chemicals.  The Company will continue to penetrate the international market from Asia to Latin America, by creating strategic alliances with customers and raw material suppliers across
the globe.










The Company is currently working on initiatives both domestically and internationally, and intends to capitalize on a recent technological invention (patent pending) on the next generation of emulsifiers for use in commercial explosives. During the past year, the Company has entered into supply agreements, typically simple purchase agreements
(purchase orders), in the ordinary course of business with companies in India for raw materials and an ingredient for the synthesis of emulsifier.





Hazardous Chemicals & Biological Waste Destruction





In March of 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Ceramatec Inc., of Salt Lake City, Utah, and licensed the world–wide exclusive rights to manufacture and market a Waste Destruction System utilizing the Cold Plasma Oxidizer Technology.  The license agreement with Ceramatec gives the Company sole marketing and sales rights
to this unique technology as it relates to the “hazardous waste destruction” market segment. The Ceramatec agreement is a simple licensing and supplies agreement, which stipulates that in order to maintain exclusivity a minimum number of units must be ordered from Ceramatec every year. The number for 2008 is two, and the number for 2009 is four. As of December 31, 2008 all of the 2008 ordering requirements have been met. If any of the conditions of the agreement are not met, the license reverts to
non-exclusive, but the Company retains all other rights.




The Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction Marketing Unit provides commercial solutions for the processing of chemical and biological wastes into carbon dioxide and water.  The Company’s advanced waste treatment technologies are suitable for a variety of industrial, hazardous, municipal, and clinical waste streams
and offer an extremely cost effective and novel way that allows customers to destroy their own hazardous chemicals and biological waste in-house, on-demand. While the Company will manufacture Waste Destruction equipment, the Company does not destroy wastes in any of its facilities, as the customers of that equipment on their premises carry out this activity. By using the Company’s equipment as a part of the overall process, most customers may not be classified as generators of hazardous waste.





The testing of explosives is also a benign activity, since the testing is designed to measure detonation properties. As such, the explosive completely detonates and the composition reacts, releasing no more residues than are found in any commercial blasting application for quarries found in most cities, trenching applications done by utility
companies, and construction blasting for new residential and commercial land development and preparation.





The Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction Business Unit provides commercial solutions for the processing of chemical and biological wastes into carbon dioxide and water.  The Company’s advanced waste treatment technologies are suitable for a variety of industrial, hazardous, municipal, and clinical waste streams.










Incineration, the standard disposal method for solid hospital wastes, gives off carbon dioxide and nitrogen containing gases that pollute the atmosphere.  Utilizing the Company’s waste destruction technology provides a sophisticated waste management program that addresses the need for waste destruction, while at the same time avoiding
the production of toxic by-products. Compact size, lightweight, excellent environmental performance and ease of operation are among the many advantages this technology offers.





The three initial potential market segments identified with great potential are ‘energetic materials’, ‘hazardous chemicals’, and ‘biological wastes’.  These three market segments are already dealing with the disposal of their waste material using traditional methodologies.  Each year, however,
disposal becomes more difficult and costly.





The Company’s methodology of destroying waste will provide for a unique, cost and logistically effective method of solving this growing problem.  Additionally, this technology can be considered as “green technology”, when compared with traditional methods.





The added potential of extracting useable work or energy when this technology is used in the ‘exothermic’ mode (heat/energy is released) is an added benefit in that the excess energy in the form of heat can be utilized within other facility operations.





The overall waste disposal/destruction industry is and has been a growth industry for many years.  New and more rigorous regulations are coming into effect each and every year.  The new and novel aspect of our particular method and system of hazardous waste destruction has a number of specific advantages over traditional methods:





1.  Hazardous waste can be treated/dealt with “on-site”





2.  Units are compact, requiring only a small footprint





3.  Units can be scaled up or down depending upon the volume of material to be destructed





4.  The cost per unit is relatively inexpensive as compared to the material being consumed or the cost of conventional removal/destruction





5.  There is currently no direct competition that replicates this method of hazardous waste destruction.





6.  This method can be considered as “green” technology





7.  Operational modes can include the extraction of energy (exothermic mode) for use within other aspects of an industrial site.










The Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction Marketing Unit provides commercial solutions for the processing of chemical and biological wastes into carbon dioxide and water.





As such, costs of compliance with environmental laws, ongoing testing, and reporting requirements will be borne by the customers who lease the company’s equipment. Environmental costs to the company are limited to consulting activities the company needs to undertake to provide its customers (who may not have sophisticated in-house environmental
groups) with regulatory guidelines required by the state and federal authorities, plus testing during start-up and commissioning. To date total consulting and testing costs have been less than $10,000 for the past 18 months, and are not expected to materially impact revenues in the future.







The preferred method of sales and marketing the units will be to lease the units themselves.  This is expected to be attractive to many customers in that the initial monetary outlay is reduced.  Further, this approach affords an ongoing close relationship between the end-use customers to ensure efficient use of the system.




The lease price will be a fee for each pound of waste material destroyed by the unit.





Manufacturing Highlights





Manufacturing the Company’s Waste Disposal Units, which incorporates the Cold Plasma Oxidizer technology (scheduled to begin in 2008) will involve the supply of certain key parts by the Licensor, with final fabrication and assembly by contract engineering fabricators according to the Company’s specifications.  The Company’s
engineers will provide actual design, assembly specifications, manufacturing and customer installation oversight.  The fabrication of the BETA waste destruction units is being done in-house, with some off-the-shelf components being purchased from domestic companies and some of the fabrication being outsourced to fabrication shops in the Kansas area.

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





2007 was the first year of operation for the Company, after it acquired the UTEC Corporation from Energetic Systems Inc.  In 2007,the Company was organized into three marketing units, Energetic Materials, Specialty Chemicals and Raw Materials and Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction.  The Company’s historical
legacy business was primarily constituted by the first two marketing units and almost exclusively within the commercial explosives market.  Revenue comparisons are included from these two activities.





The new marketing unit, Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction was in a development stage during the year, and had no commercial revenues.  Focus during the year was on licensing and validation of the Cold Plasma Oxidizer technology, and on the development of the Company’s Waste Destruction System, identification of
potential markets, and preparation of its business plan.





Revenues





Revenues in 2007 were $1,365,805 compared to $2,237,601 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The legacy explosives testing and services business generated $893,000, or 65% of total revenues for December 31, 2007, and $968,000, or 43%, of the total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Major activities that contributed
to this revenue were primarily in the areas of contract research and product development and independent product testing.  In addition, revenues totaling $472,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, and $1,270,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, came from the Specialty Chemicals Unit through the manufacture and sale of inorganic chemical sensitizers to customers engaged in commercial explosives production.  We project that 2009 revenue will increase with new business in both areas, but most
specifically in the Specialty Chemicals area as new materials are made available to customers, and developments in new technologies are pursued.





Expenses





The Company’s legacy business has historically been service based with temporary employees retained on an as needed basis to support manufacturing activities.  Wages in 2007 were consistent with this trend with the wage and burden expense as a percent of total expenses at 55%, totaling $868,000.  Wages dedicated to SG&A
activities amounted to $247,000, with the balance of $519,000 dedicated to research and development. For the year ending December 31, 2008, the wage and burden expense as a percent of total expenses was  32%, totaling $793,000 with wages dedicated to SG&A amounting to $423,000, with the balance of $370,000 dedicated to research, development and services.





The Company’s legacy business is engaged in the research, development, testing and analysis of commercial explosives.  Some of the R&D activities have been in the development of new or improved technologies or new product development to be used internally within the company.  The cost associated with such activities varies
from year to year and totals less than $100,000 over the calendar years 2007 and 2008.










Some of the other R&D activities during the last two years have been in the testing, analysis and QC (quality control) areas and the costs associated with these activities was about $300,000 in 2007 and 2008.  These costs are passed to the Company’s customers, as per the agreements the Company has with the various customers.





The Company owns all of the research and testing facilities and these facilities are operated by Company personnel/employees.  The Company’s customers or licensees or any other third parties operate none of the facilities.





Travel related expenses, which mostly constitute business support and development activities, totaled $87,000, and involved several trips overseas to pursue international business opportunities.  The travel related expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $136,000.  This rate is higher than in previous periods
due to the high cost of air travel and fuel.  Company officers have also taken several international trips to secure new business and pursue financing opportunities.





Accounting and management expenses totaling $143,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, consisted of audit fees, and financial and accounting services provided by related third parties for the cost of the home office functions.  For the year ending December 31, 2008 the total expense was $63,000, which includes a $16,000 accrual.




The Company did not purchase any capital items in 2007, with the exception of acquiring the exclusive right to develop and market Cold Plasma Technology for the Waste Destruction Business Unit from Ceramatec, Inc. (See Notes to Financial Statement 9).




In 2008, the Company purchased approximately $168,000 of capital assets comprised of a combination of new laptops, electronic instruments and waste destruction units purchased from Ceramatec, Inc.





In the year ending December 31, 2008, a significant reversal of amortization expense was recorded to reflect the cancellation of the restricted stock issued to Directors, Officers and employees of the Company in 2007, totaling $107,000.  These restricted shares were replaced with options on March 26, 2008, and amortization of $96,750
was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008.





Assets





The Company invoices its services and products as they are provided or shipped to its customers.  The majority of its sales are to customers who are large privately held or publicly traded organizations, many of whom have been in business for a number of years.  As a consequence, the Company’s record in collecting it’s
accounts receivable is exemplary.  Although the nature of the Company’s business is expected to grow and change in the next several years, it is not expected that targeted customers’ profiles will differ significantly.  The Company therefore does not anticipate a change in credit risk.










The Company was self-funding for most of the year ended December 31, 2007, drawing periodically on a credit facility provided to it by one of its shareholders.  The Company has also had to rely on internally advanced short term funding for the year ended December 31, 2008, in the amount of $181,000.  The Company expects to satisfy
this amount in full during the first quarter of 2009.

In addition, these patents, any licensed technology, and the know-how that resides within the Company represent the Company’s overall technology portfolio which goes beyond the patents directly held by the Company.







Property, plant and equipment are composed of the Company’s physical facilities at Riverton and Hallowell, Kansas, and related equipment and storage used in its business.  The Company’s facilities are located on lands leased from a subsidiary of Energetic Systems Inc., LLC., pursuant to a prepaid lease.
 
 Liabilities
 
 The Company’s liabilities primarily consist of current amounts payable or accrued to trade creditors, and amounts owing to related parties for management fees, expenses, and shared services.
 
 Certain of the materials the Company uses or handles are hazardous materials.  These materials are stored in federally and state licensed storage facilities, under permits granted to the Company.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company was not in violation of any of its license and permits required to carry on its business.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 As of December 31, 2008, the company had $100 cash on hand.  During 2007 and 2008, cash flows from the legacy business, supplemented with short-term borrowings from related parties, was used to support the waste destruction business development program.  Following a general business review at the end of 2008, management has determined
that the legacy business cannot support both its ongoing operations as well as the development of the waste destruction business on its operations alone.  Continued cash advances from internal sources are necessary to support the overall operations and the development of the waste destruction business. Management has concluded a new funding mechanism must be put in place in order to develop the waste destruction business.  Until such a mechanism is put in place development of the waste destruction business
has been reduced to a minimum to preserve cash and reduce the need for short term cash advances.
 
 Consequently, the board of directors, in consultation with management and major shareholders, has undertaken an extensive investigation of the options available to the company in order to fund its waste destruction business through commercialization.  The Board expects to develop a plan for this no later than the second quarter of 2009.

 Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
 
 Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to UTEC management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to a lack of segregation of duties.
 
 Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
 The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the 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.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is
supported by written policies and procedures that:  (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the
Company’s management and directors; and (3) 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.
 
 The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations which may not prevent
or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  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 conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission, or (“COSO”).  The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to a lack of segregation of duties.
 
 Management believes that this material weakness did not have an effect on our financial results due primarily to the transparency of, ready access to and periodic review of the bank accounts and bank statements by Management and Directors in addition to the audit prepared by the auditor.
 
 This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us
to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

   POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE
  Among its other duties, the Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been delegated responsibility
to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Chairman of the Audit Committee then reports such pre-approvals to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. In accordance with this pre-approval policy, management communicates, on an ongoing basis, specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee Chairman reviews these
requests and advises management whether the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm is approved. On a periodic basis, management subsequently reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for particular projects and in connection with categories of services.
  Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing
those financial statements. The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Rather, the members of the Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate filings made by the Company, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the following Audit Committee
Report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be incorporated by reference into any prior or future filings made by the Company.
 
 We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008.
  Based on the reviews and discussions with the audit group, we have recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

  Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
  Board of Directors and Stockholders
 UTeC, Inc.
 Norman, Oklahoma
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UTeC, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  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.
  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UTeC, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
  We were not engaged to examine management’s assessment of the effectiveness of UTeC Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

  UTEC, INC.
  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 December 31, 2008 and 2007
  1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  a) Business activity
  UTEC INC., formerly Lyon Capital Venture Corp., is a Nevada corporation organized on November 8, 1993 as a “For Profit” corporation for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity.  The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2006, and the year ended December 31, 2007 is the first year during which
the Company is considered an operating company and is no longer in the development stage.  On January 10, 2007 the Company purchased 100% of the shares of UTEC Corporation, Inc for a total consideration of 22,500,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 common shares and 20,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 preferred shares.  The Company also issued 2,525,000 common shares in finder’s fees.
  The Company’s business is to offer state of the art testing and analysis to clients worldwide.  The Company is a leader in commercial explosives technology including development, analysis, testing and manufacturing.  In 2007 the company began to develop new technology in the area of commercial hazardous waste destruction.  The
development of this technology continued through 2008 and is an integral part UTEC’s growth plans for the future.  The Company expects to continue development and commercialize the product in 2009.
  The Company operates a chemical research and development laboratory near Riverton, Kansas, which specializes in commercial explosives development and analysis. The Company also operates a destructive test facility near Hallowell, Kansas, which specializes in determining the detonating characteristics of commercial explosives.
  b) Principles of Consolidation
  The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, UTEC Corporation.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
  c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
  For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company had a cash deficit of $10,004 at December 31, 2008 and $89,377cash
or cash equivalents at December 31, 2007.
  F-5
  d) Trade Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy
  Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts billed to customers for purchases of services and energetic materials. The Company extends credit to customers in accordance with normal industry standards and terms, which are typically net 30 to 45 days.  Credit risk arises as customers
default on trade accounts receivable owed to the Company. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. If amounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.
  e) Revenue Recognition
  The Company recognizes revenue when materials are shipped or services are provided, and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  The Company records customer shipping and handling charges as revenues with the associated costs
recorded to cost of sales.
  f) Inventories
  Inventories consist of purchased materials held for resale and are carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
  g) Property, Plant and Equipment
  Property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value for assets contributed in connection with the acquisition, and at cost for assets acquired subsequent to the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation from the date of acquisition through the balance sheet date. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of property, plant
and equipment and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the net carrying amount. Depreciation expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimate useful lives of the assets as follows:
  Building and leasehold improvements
 10-25 years
 Machinery and equipment
 10-15 years
 Furniture and fixtures & transportation equipment
 3-7 years
  Major additions and improvements are capitalized in the month following the month in which the assets or improvement are deemed to be placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the net book value is eliminated from the accounts, with the resultant gain or loss reflected in operations.
  F-6
  h) Research and Development Costs
  Research and development costs for the development of new products and update of existing products are expensed as incurred.
  i) Income Taxes
  The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes.  Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 to give effect to the resulting temporary
differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, share-based compensation, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.
  In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences are expected to become deductible.  In making this assessment the company may, using all available evidence, arrive at the conclusion that some or all of the benefit will not be realized.  In this case an allowance equal to the estimate of the unrealized amount is recorded.  See Note 8 for this discussion.
  j) Concentrations
  The Company maintains balances in bank accounts that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the risk of loss associated with this concentration is minimal.
  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, two customers accounted for approximately 44% and 17% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for approximately 34% and 28% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.
  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for approximately 26% and 80% respectively of the Company’s accounts receivable.
  F-7
  k) Estimates
  Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual amounts may differ from those reported.
  Certain significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s intangible assets and the related amortization period.  These estimates are discussed in further detail at Note 6.
  l) Going Concern Assumption
  The Company’s group of activities consists solely of UTEC Corporation.  Within UTEC Corporation there exists both a legacy business and a developing waste destruction business. All of the revenue in 2007 and 2008 is attributable to the legacy business, which consists of testing services, materials sales and manufacturing.  During
2007 and 2008, cash flows from the legacy business, supplemented with short-term borrowings from related parties, was used to support the waste destruction business development program.  Following a general business review at the end of 2008, management has determined that the legacy business cannot support both its ongoing operations as well as the development of the waste destruction business on its operations alone.  Continued cash advances from internal sources are necessary to support the overall
operations and the development of the waste destruction business. Management has concluded a new funding mechanism must be put in place in order to develop the waste destruction business.  Until such a mechanism is put in place development of the waste destruction business has been reduced to a minimum to preserve cash and reduce the need for short term cash advances.
  Consequently, the board of directors, in consultation with management and major shareholders, has undertaken an extensive investigation of the options available to the company in order to fund its waste destruction business through commercialization.  The Board expects to develop a plan for this no later than the second quarter of 2009.
  m) Intangible Assets Acquired
  Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
  Intangible assets acquired consist of a customer list and patent rights.  These intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives and tested for impairment if certain circumstances indicate and impairment may exist.  As of December 2008 the remaining amortization period is fifteen years for the customer list and patent rights.
  Intangible assets that are amortized are tested for impairment at the asset level associated with the lowest level of cash flows.  An impairment exists if the carrying value of the asset is i) not recoverable (the carrying value of the asset is greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows) and ii) is greater than its fair value.
  F-8
  As of December 31, 2008 the Company has determined that no impairment of the intangibles is indicated.
  n) Advertising Costs
  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $63,711 and $66,636 respectively.  These costs consist primarily of trade show, web site and publication expenses.
  2. Acquisitions
  a) Acquisitions
  On January 10, 2007 the company UTEC, Inc. (formerly Lyon Capital Venture Corp), acquired UTEC Corporation, a global chemical and materials services company.  The Company is a leader in commercial explosives technology including development, analysis, testing and manufacturing.
  b) Purchase Price and Value Assigned
  The consideration for the UTEC Corporation acquisition consisted of 22,500,000 shares of restricted stock and 20,000 preferred shares.  The preferred shares were assigned a nominal value of $0.001 per share.  The common shares were valued at $0.08375 per share arrived at by dividing the net assets acquired (see Note 2 (c)) by the
number of restricted stock issued in the exchange.
  c) Allocation of Purchase Price
  The UTEC Corporation acquisition is accounted for as a purchase business combination.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their estimate fair values as of January 10, 2007.  A final allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the
date of acquisition is presented in the table below.

upon the performance of the company and Board acceptance.
 
 On January 1, 2007 UTEC Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary effective January 10, 2007) entered into a Ground Lease Agreement for the properties that it occupies in Cherokee County, Kansas.  This lease is with Energetic Properties, LLC., a subsidiary of Energetic Systems, Inc. LLC., a significant shareholder in the company.  The
initial term of the lease is seven (7) years, with provision to extend for five additional one-year renewal periods.  The annual rent is prepaid through December 31, 2009; thereafter UTEC Corporation is obligated to pay an annual rent of $85,800 per year subject to adjustment for changes in the Consumer Price Index.  The discounted value of the lease is $75,000 with an annual amortization of $10,700 with the net book value at December 31, 2008 and 2007 being $53,300 and $64,300.  The Agreement
includes all other terms and conditions which are normal and usual for leases of this type.
  c) Advances from Energetic Systems Inc., LLC
  Energetic Systems, Inc., LLC. (ESI) which owns approximately 42% of the restricted common shares of UTEC, INC. and owns 100% of the predecessor company, UTEC Corporation, LLC that contributed its assets to form UTEC Corporation, is the processor of a credit facility of up to $200,000 from UTEC.  The amounts owing on that facility at the
end of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are $181,000 and $0 respectively.  Interest expense accrued on the line of credit was $12,932 and $558 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
  6. Intangible Assets

 The Patent rights are based upon the contractual agreement between the Company and Ceramatec, as described in Note 9.  The Company is amortizing these Patent rights over 17 years.
  Customer relationships represent the net present value of the discounted cash flows of customer relationships contributed by the Company in connection with the acquisition.  Although the Company does not typically have long-term contracts with these customers, most of them have been customers of the Company for many years.  The Company
is amortizing the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of these customers over seventeen (17) years, which is based on the consistency, length and the unique nature of the customer relationships and the service that the Company provides.
  Amortization expense for the next five years related to intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

  7. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
  Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average
number of common shares is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the Treasury Stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options) were issued during the period.  Diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS if the effect of the incremental shares is anti-dilutive.
  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same, as all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive.

  9. Contractual Obligations
  a) Ceramatec, Inc.
  Effective February 1, 2007 the company entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Ceramatec, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah (“License”) for a world wide exclusive royalty-free license to practice Cermatec’s Gild Arc Plasma Oxidizer technology for the destruction of solid and liquid hazardous chemicals and biologicals.
 The agreement continues to the full end of the term or terms for which patent rights held by Ceramatec and related to the technology have not expired.In connection with the agreement, the Company granted 850,000 shares of its Common Stock to Ceramatec.  Subject to any Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Ceramatec may sell its stock starting two years from the Effective Date of the agreement. The Ceramatec agreement provided for (i) a license to the technology, (ii) support with the technology
and (iii) a supply agreement with Ceramatec in exchange for the shares provided.
  The shares to Ceramatec were provided for item (i), the license. The support and supply agreement (i & ii) were included in the supply agreement and payments made to Ceramatec to purchase the equipment and units specified in the agreement.
  The restricted stock given in exchange for the exclusive licensing agreement with Ceramatec was valued at $0.0842 per share.  This value was adopted from the calculation of the value of the restricted shares given in exchange for the acquired company, UTEC Corporation.  See
note 2 (b) of the Financial Statements.  The agreement with Ceramatec is dated February 1, 2007 within three weeks of the day UTEC Corporation was acquired.  Although the market price at the close of business on February 1, 2007 was $0.52 per share a true trading market for the stock had not been established during that brief period and Management believed a more accurate fair value was represented by the value established in the acquisition of UTEC Corporation.  The Company has accounted for its
share-based payments in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share Based Payments”, and EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
  If Ceramatec is not able to sell its stock granted under this agreement for at least $700,000 within the first two years after it is allowed to sell its stock under this agreement, then any license granted under this agreement shall become non-exclusive. Ceramatec agreed to pay finders fees of 85,000 shares to a third party in connection with
this agreement.
  F-15
 
 The Company is amortizing the asset over seventeen (17) years, which is the estimated remaining life of the patents to which the Company has exclusivity rights.  See Note 6.
  During the term of the License, the company is obligated to purchase plasma oxidizer units from Ceramatec in order to maintain exclusivity under the license agreement. The company’s minimum obligations under this purchase arrangement are $100,000 in 2008, $200,000 in 2009 and $600,000 for each remaining year of the agreement. If the
minimum purchase requirement is not met for any year, the license grant of this agreement shall automatically convert from exclusive to nonexclusive for the remainder of the term of the agreement.
  The License includes a provision that entitles the Company to any improvements to the technology, whether patentable or not, without further cost to the Company.
  b) Princeton Research
  Effective September 17, 2007 the company entered into an agreement with Princeton Research for corporate services.  In exchange for these services the company issued 50,000 common shares to Princeton.  The shares were valued at $0.45 per share equal to the market value of the stock on the agreement signing date.  The services
were rendered in 2007 and the amortization of $22,500 was fully expensed before by year-end.
  c) BioEnergy Applied Technologies, LLC
  On April 4, 2008, the Company entered into a joint technical development and marketing agreement (“Marketing Agreement”) with BioEnergy Technologies, LLC (“BAT”), a corporation jointly owned by two directors of the company.  Pursuant to the term of the Marketing Agreement, the Company and BAT have agreed to undertake
a joint technical development and marketing program to develop and sell certain patented technology held by BAT and to pursue certain business opportunities.  The parties will share equally in the net profits before taxes in connection with the license or sale of the patented technology pursuant to the Marketing Agreement.
  As additional consideration, for each year in which the grant of the Subject Matter under the Marketing Agreement is exclusive to the Company, the Company will issue 200,000 options to purchase 200,000 shares of its common stock to BAT or its nominee.  Options will be issued at the end of each year of exclusivity, beginning April 1, 2009.
 The options granted hereunder will be for a period of ten (10) total years, exercisable at a price of $0.28 per share.
  F-16
  10. Employee Stock Plan
  2007 Employee Stock Plan
  Effective January 12, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a “Consultant and Employee Stock Option and Award Plan” and reserved 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to this plan.  In connection with the adoption of the plan, the Company also awarded 1,914,000 shares of restricted stock
to certain key employees and consultants.  The stock grants to the key employees have an eighteen-month vesting period from the date of the grant, and become fully vested on July 12, 2008.
  Upon vesting the stock will become the property of the employee free of restriction and can be sold, gifted or otherwise transferred.  The right to the stock never lapses nor is it dependent on the exercise of the stock.  The stock carries a strike price value of $0.25 per share.  The stock would not be sold unless its market
value exceeds the strike price.  Since the employee is not required to exercise the strike price the employees basis in the stock is zero and therefore cannot be written off or a loss taken.
  A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested shares as of December 31, 2007, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2007, is presented below:

  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $107,401 and a corresponding increase to Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital based upon the estimated fair value of the Common Stock at the date of the grant and the vesting period of the grants.
  F-17
  Employee Stock Option Plan
  Effective March 26, 2008 the restricted shares issued pursuant to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan dated January 11, 2007 were cancelled in their entirety, save for 16,000 that were lost by the employee and which will be cancelled in 2009.  The Plan has since been rescinded and the amount amortized in 2007 of $107,401 has been reversed
in the first quarter of 2008.
  In its place each employee signed an Employee Stock Option Plan dated March 26, 2008. The plan contains no provision for vesting and each employee may exercise their rights to purchase shares at the strike price of $0.25 on the plan date.  The unexercised options terminate at the end of five years or upon the employee being terminated
from the Company whichever is earlier.
  The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock in addition to other publicly traded companies stock within the market
segment of industrial waste management. This is due primarily to the fact that The Company does not have enough history to properly ascertain the volatility rate.  The expected term of options granted is also estimated since the company does not have a history of granting stock rights and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Libor rate in effect at the time of grant.

  12. New Accounting Pronouncements
  In September of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of this statement did
not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  F-19
  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which provides companies an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities
at fair value.  SFAS No. 159 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, if applied, SFAS No. 159 requires companies to provide information helping financial statement users to understand the effect of a company’s choice to use fair value in determining its earnings, as well as to display the fair value of the assets and liabilities a company has chosen to use fair value for on the face of its balance sheet. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to simplify comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company has determined the effects of the adoption of this statement will not have an effect on its consolidated financial statements, because the Company has elected not to report any liabilities or assets at any value other than that achieved
by historical cost, and that if the Company were to make such an election, the difference in values reported on the Company’s consolidated financial statements would not provide more relevant and understandable information for the users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This Statement improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects by establishing principles and requirements for how the acquirer
(i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company must apply prospectively SFAS No. 141(R) to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of 2009. The impact that adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is dependent upon many factors. Such factors would include, among others, the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in any applicable business combination, the amount of any costs the Company would incur to effect any applicable business combination, and the amount of any restructuring
costs the Company expected but was not obligated to incur as the result of any applicable business combination. Thus, we cannot accurately predict the effect SFAS No. 141(R) will have on acquisitions until such acquisitions are consummated.
  F-20
  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable
to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No.
160 will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company acquires less than 100 percent of an entity.  Accordingly, the effect of application of SFAS No. 160 on future acquisitions will vary depending on the nature of the acquisition.
  In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133.  SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities.  The statement encourages, but does
not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements due to the absence of derivatives and hedging instruments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the Company
engages in activities which include derivatives and hedging instruments, then the adoption of SFAS No. 161 could have an effect on t its consolidated financial statements, and such effect could be material.
  In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). This FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement
No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP 142-3 is effective for our interim and annual financial statements beginning in 2009. The adoption of FSP 142-3 will not have
a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  The statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
