TRUE PRODUCT ID, INC.

(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The condensed consolidated financial statements of True Product ID, Inc. (“TPID US”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein, have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).   Subsequent to TPID US’ May 11, 2007 acquisition of an additional 20% ownership interest in True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited (the “Chinese JV Company”) raising TPID US’ ownership interest in the Chinese JV Company to 60% and giving TPID US control of the Chinese JV Company, the accounts of the Chinese JV Company are fully consolidated with the accompanying minority interest reflected.  Prior to May 11, 2007, but subsequent to TPID US’ acquisition of its January 5, 2007 initial 40% ownership of the Chinese JV Company, TPID US accounted for its investment under the equity method of accounting, whereby TPID US recognized its proportional share of the Chinese JV Company’s net income / loss on the Statement of Operations under the caption “Loss on Equity Investment.” All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  


In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company included only expenses and other financial information of the consolidated Chinese JV Company from May 2007, when TPID US acquired majority ownership and control of the Chinese JV Company.  This method of presentation is consistent with Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB Annual Report and other reports filed with the SEC.


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations or these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under FASB 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.    The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.


In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007)”). This statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The scope of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) is broader than the scope of SFAS No. 141, which it replaces. The effective date of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) is for all acquisitions in which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement has no immediate material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.




F-6



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (hereinafter “SFAS No. 160”). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require a) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position with equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, b) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, c) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, d) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling  equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and e) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The effective date of this standard is for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement had no immediate material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

NOTE B - THE MONIES OWED BY FASANO AS A RESULT OF THE SALE OF SEEN ON TV


As a result of the September 2005 purchase by then Company president and chairman, Daniel M. Fasano, of all the shares of subsidiary, Seen OnTV, and other assets incidental to the business of Seen OnTV (including, but not limited to, the domain name and asseenontv.com, which the Company purchased in January 2000 for $5,000,000), pursuant to a written agreement, Fasano owes the Company $300,000, plus interest at 5.75% per year.  As of the date of this filing, Fasano has not paid any monies for the September 2005 purchase. On October 31, 2007, Fasano filed a pro se petition for the statutory appointment of a receiver in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  In his petition, Fasano claims that the Company is insolvent based, in part, due to in excess of $900,000 he claims the Company owes him that remains unpaid.  In its January 4, 2008 answer to the Petition, the Company denied and continues to deny that it is insolvent and that the appointment of a receiver is required.  The Company explained that Fasano is a party to certain agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay him certain monies that have not yet been fully paid.  The Company went on to explain that Fasano owes the Company in excess of $330,000, which amount exceeds the amount which the Company believes Fasano is owed by the Company pursuant to the aforementioned agreements.   This litigation is being vigorously defended and the Company believes it has meritorious defenses.


On or about February 28, 2008, Mr. Fasano filed a lawsuit, pro se, in Broward County, Florida against the Company for damages in the amount of approximately $900,000.  The Company responded to the lawsuit by filing a Motion to Dismiss on jurisdictional grounds.  The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and if Mr. Fasano pursues it, the Company intends to vigorously defend it.

NOTE D - EQUITY MATTERS


In January 2008, the Company raised $450,000 as a result of the sale of equity units consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase ½ share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.085 per share for a period of one year subsequent to the purchase of the equity unit.  The price of the units was $0.05 per share resulting in the issuance of 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of 9,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock.  


In November 2007, the Board voted to effect a 30:1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock.   On November 29, 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors voted to amend the ratio to 100:1.  This action was then authorized and approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company authorized to vote.  The Company has filed its Schedule PRE 14C preliminary information statement in connection with the 1 for 100 reverse stock split on April 23, 2008.  The Company filed its Schedule DEF 14C definitive information statement in connection with the 1 for 100 reverse stock split with the SEC on May 7, 2008; and mailed on May 9, 2008 the definitive information statement to all shareholders of record as of April 22, 2008 (as identified in the certified shareholder list received from the Company’s transfer agent).


In November 2007, the Company raised $200,969 as a result of the sale of equity units consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase ½ share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a period of one year subsequent to the purchase of the equity unit.  The price of the units was $0.065 per share resulting in the issuance of 3,091,823 shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of 1,545,912 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock.  The proceeds were wired to the Chinese JV Company to fund China operations.



NOTE E – COMPANY’S MAJORITY OWNERSHIP OF A CHINESE JOINT VENTURE COMPANY


As of May 2007 the Company owns a 60% interest in the Chinese JV Company (True Product ID Technology (Beijing) Limited). This resulted from (1) the January 2007 acquisition of 40% of the Chinese JV Company from Sure Trace Security Corporation




F-9


(“SSTY”), Sure Trace Asia Limited, and William Chan pursuant to a January 4, 2007 Restructuring Agreement (in which the Company agreed, inter alia, to pay SSTY approximately $1 million and assume certain liabilities); and (2) the May 2007 acquisition of 20% of the Chinese JV Company from Sichuan Valencia Trading Limited pursuant to a May 11, 2007 acquisition agreement for 100 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  SSTY agreed in November 2007 to forgive all monies owed by the Company under the January 2007 Restructuring Agreement (approximately $1 million) in consideration for certain licensing rights to the Company’s anti-counterfeiting technologies for limited applications.


Since its 60% ownership of the Chinese JV Company in May 2007, the accounts of the Chinese JV Company have been fully consolidated with the accompanying minority interest reflected.


NOTE F – FINANCING


1.

In February and March 2008, the Company entered into three convertible notes with different private investors for $100,000, $100,000 and $50,000; respectively, due in thirty days. The notes bore 10% interest upon the closing of the first strategic investment transaction in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least two million dollars ($2,000,000) from the sale of its equity securities (a “Qualified Strategic Financing” or “QSF”), into shares or units of the equity securities sold in the QSF at the per share sale price or unit sale price of the QSF. The notes also included two-year warrants.  The number of shares that can be purchased under the warrants is determined by the purchase price of the QSF divided into the total proceeds initially lent by the noteholders.


2.

At September 30, 2007, MacKay Group Limited (MKG) had advanced the Company $52,451 under a line of credit, the principal amount and accrued interest of which were forgiven in November 2007.  As of August 2007, MKG had also advanced approximately $1 Million for the Chinese JV Company.  In November 2007, MKG assigned to the Company MKG’s rights vis-à-vis the Chinese JV Company associated with the $1 Million advance.  After November 7, 2007, MKG has advanced additional funds to the Chinese JV Company in excess of $150,000 and has also paid expenses of the Company totaling $36,213.


3.

On January 17, 2007, the Company entered into a convertible note with an accredited investor bearing 8% interest for $500,000. The investors received warrants to purchase additional shares of Company's common stock at a price per share equal to the price per share of the shares issued in the First Equity Financing, with 20% warrant coverage if the bridge converts within 4 months; 35% warrant coverage if the bridge converts within 8 months; and 50% warrant coverage if the bridge converts after 8 months.  The “First Equity Financing” is defined as the first financing following the date of Closing in which the Company sells preferred stock or other equity securities and obtains net proceeds (including debt conversion) in an amount not less than $2 million (including the conversion of the Debt). The warrants shall have a seven-year exercise period.


NOTE G – FOREIGN OPERATIONS:


Since May 2007, the majority of the Company’s operating activities have been in China.  The functional currency of the Chinese Venture is the Yuan and the financial statements of the Chinese JV Company have been converted from Yuan to U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate in effect.  There were no foreign currency gains or losses included in the March 31, 2008 Statement of Operations.  A Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment of $80,622 is included as a component of Shareholders’ Equity at March 31, 2008, to reflect the change in value of assets and liabilities in the Chinese JV Company’s balance sheet.


Accounts Receivable


There was $188,910 in accounts receivable at March 31, 2008, all from the Chinese JV Company.  These arose in part from customer purchases of taggant, scanners and other equipment and materials associated with trial and pilot runs associated with the Company’s securing Chinese contracts.  The Company believes that these accounts receivable will be collected in China in due course, given the fairly recent nature of the accounts receivable (at least according to Chinese standards), the ongoing nature of certain trial or pilot runs and relationship with Chinese customers, the relationships involving Chinese government entities, and the significance of the Chinese JV Company’s continued efforts towards certain Chinese government-related initiatives.  


At March 31, 2008, the assets of the Chinese JV Company were $334,588 and the liabilities of the Chinese JV Company were approximately $1.1 million.  For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, no revenues were recognized relative to the Chinese JV Company and $274,213 and $653,349, respectively, of expenses was recognized resulting in such net losses, a compensating $109,685and $261,340, respectively, minority interest recognized for the 40% portion of the Chinese JV Company not owned by the Company for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.

NOTE I – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Effective April 1, 2008, Bendis agreed to eliminate all compensation and other monies owed by the Company to Bendis under any and all employment and consulting agreement he may have had with the Company, totaling approximately $863,244.  The Company, in return, agreed to allow Bendis to maintain the shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to him.


On April 23, 2008, the Company filed a preliminary information statement (Schedule PRE 14C) with the SEC, reporting that on November 28, 2008 its board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1 for 100 reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock. On the same day, and as subsequently re-affirmed, pursuant to the By-Laws of the Company and applicable Delaware law, stockholders of the Company holding over a majority of the total voting rights for all issued and outstanding shares of common and preferred stock of the Company, adopted by way of written consent, a resolution to authorize the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Company's Common Stock based upon a ratio of 1-for-100 shares. The Company may effect the reverse stock split at any time prior to April 22, 2009. The Board believes that the proposed reverse stock split will benefit the Company by increasing the per share market price of its common stock, which is a factor in whether the Common Stock meets investing guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds, although there is no assurance that the market price will increase.


The SEC had 10 days from the April 23, 2008 filing date to comment on the Information Statement. The Company did not receive any comments on the Information Statement from the SEC within the 10-day period; filed a definitive information statement (Schedule DEF 14C) with the SEC on May 7, 2008; and mailed on May 8-9, 2008 the definitive information statement to all shareholders of record as of April 22, 2008 (as identified in the certified shareholder list received from the Company’s transfer agent).   The reverse split will go into effect 20 days from the May 9, 2008 mailing date or on May 29, 2008.  To complete the reverse split, after May 29, 2008, the Company will file its amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware, secure a new CUSIP number, and seek approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).


Effective May 6, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors retained the accounting firm of Jewett, Schwartz, Wolfe & Associates (“JSWA”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm to replace Rotenberg & Co., LLP (Rotenberg”). The primary reason for the change is that JSWA has a working relationship with the Company’s current counsel and financial personnel. Rotenberg has been the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since at least January 24, 2000, and was engaged by one of the prior managements over six years before the Company changed its name, ownership, management and business in 2006.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, our audited financial statements and notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.


Certain statements contained in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this report are forward-looking   statements that involve risks and   uncertainties.   These

Statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.  In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "estimate",  




11


"potential", or "continue", the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.   These statements involve a  number  of  risks  and uncertainties.   Actual events or results may differ materially from any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including those described above under "Risk Factors."


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007


During the three months ended March 31, 2008 ("Fiscal 2008"), the Company had no revenues, as the operations of the Chinese JV Company had not begun customer sales, except for certain trial runs conducted by the Chinese JV Company for Chinese customers.  In the three months ended March 31, 2007 ("Fiscal 2007"), there were no revenues.


The Company had operating expenses of $430,672 for the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2008 with the majority of the expense related to stock compensation of employees and consultants, as compared to operating expenses of $241,783 for the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2007, with the majority of the expense related to stock compensation of an employee and consultant.  The increase of operating expenses from the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2008 to the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2007 is attributable to expenses related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and additional expense related to stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.


The Company reported a loss before minority interest of approximately $440,240 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a loss before minority interest of approximately $245,276 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of approximately $194,964 as a direct result of the minority interest, including the additional expense related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and to stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.


Minority interest for the current fiscal quarter was a credit of approximately $109,685. The add back of minority interest represents the 40% portion of the Chinese JV Company loss not owned by the Company as the Company only owns a 60% interest in the Chinese JV Company.  There was no comparable amount as the Company only began consolidating the results of the Chinese JV Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, when they increased their ownership interest to 60%.


Therefore, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 the Company had a loss of approximately $387,000, compared to a loss of approximately $245,000, for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, attributed to, the additional expense related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and to stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.


Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007


During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s had no revenues, as the operations of the Chinese JV Company had not begun customer sales, except for certain trial runs the Chinese JV Company conducted for Chinese customers.  In the nine months ended March 31, 2007, there were also sales by the Chinese JV Company.


The Company had operating expenses of $25.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, with the majority of the expense ($25.3 million) related to stock compensation of employees and consultants, compared to operating expenses of $6.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, with the majority of the expense ($5.6 million) related to stock compensation of an employee and consultant.  All other expenses remained relatively constant.  During the first three quarters of fiscal 2008, 538 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued for services, resulting in a charge of $25.3 million based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the respective shares issuances were authorized by the Company’s board of directors, compared to approximately 70 million shares of the Company’s common stock issued for services, during the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2007, resulting in a charge of $5.6 million, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the respective shares issuances were authorized by the Company’s board of directors.  The increase of operating expenses from the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2008 to the third fiscal quarter of Fiscal 2007 is attributable to additional expense related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and to stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.


The Company reported a loss before minority interest of approximately $24.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008,




12


compared to a loss before other income and provision for income taxes of $6.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $19.7 million as a direct result of the minority interest, including the additional expense related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.


Other income in the current period included approximately $1.6 million for the forgiveness of liabilities, as discussed previously in Note L to the financial statements.  Significant components of other income for the prior fiscal period in November 2007, as discussed in Note L, MKG agreed (1) to assign to TPID US the rights MKG has regarding the MKG $1 Million Advance and (2) to forgive any debt which MKG may have directly vis-a-vis TPID US as a result of the MKG $1 Million Advance and/or MKG’s assignment to TPID US related thereto.  (See Note H – Debt Reduction.)   Accordingly, any right that MKG may have, vis-à-vis the Chinese JV Company, as a result of the MKG $1 Million Advance (whether in the form of repayment, increased capital, some combination of both or otherwise), has been assigned to TPID US and should be considered an asset of TPID US.  Similarly, as of November 16, 2007, MKG had forgiven any debt it may be owed by TPID US as a result of the above-mentioned assignment (whether the rights being assigned took the form of additional capital in the Chinese JV Company or otherwise). The amounts due MKG by the Chinese JV Company remain recorded upon the financial statements of the Chinese JV Company and as such are recorded in the attached consolidated financial statements of the Company at March 31, 2008.  


Minority interest for the current fiscal period was a credit of approximately $261,000.  The add back of minority interest represents the 40% portion of the Chinese JV loss not owned by the Company, as the Company only owns a 60% interest in the Chinese JV.  There was no comparable amount as the Company only began consolidating the results of the Chinese JV in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, when they increased their ownership interest to 60%.


Therefore, for the nine-months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had a loss of $24.1million, compared to a loss of $6.2 million for the nine-months ended March 31, 2007, attributed to the additional expense related to the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ and to stock compensation of employees and consultants, when the Company brought in new management and personnel (a new chief executive officer, chief operating officer, and consultant) in November 2007 to help implement and fund the Gas Tank Contract with AQSIQ.

These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows, including approximately $4.8 million of stock based compensation, approximately $63,000 for the issuance of common stock for consulting fees, approximately $45,000 of depreciation and amortization and approximately $1.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The National Contract with AQSIQ To Mark Chinese Liquefied Natural Gas Container and Special Equipment


In August 2007, the Company, through its Chinese joint venture affiliate, entered into a contract with the National Quality Inspection Department of the State General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China ("AQSIQ"), to develop a national safety/security system for China's liquefied natural gas and other pressurized canisters and other special equipment.


AQSIQ is a ministerial administrative organ directly under the State Council of the People's Republic of China in charge of national quality, metrology, entry-exit commodity inspection, entry-exit health quarantine, entry-exit animal and plant quarantine, import-export food safety, certification and accreditation, standardization, as well as administrative law-enforcement.  AQSIQ is considered the Chinese counterpart to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.


The AQSIQ Contract follows an AQSIQ Circular to every quality and technical supervision bureau in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities under the control of the Chinese Central Government.  The AQSIQ Circular sets out a 5-year AQSIQ National Security/Safety Plan to protect against the illegal production, circulation, and use of certain "special equipment" (the "Plan").  AQSIQ's mission in the Circular is, among other things, to protect public safety from safety accidents and other risks caused by counterfeit and substandard "special equipment."  Among the “special equipment” referenced in the AQSIQ Circular are liquefied gas tanks, oxygen tanks, and other pressurized containers and pipes, elevators, lift machinery; and equipment at large recreational facilities and automobile plants.


In its Circular, AQSIQ has explicitly designated our technology and our Chinese joint venture company affiliate as the exclusive technology and technology provider to help AQSIQ develop, implement and administer its National Security/Safety Plan.  Under the AQSIQ Circular, TPID Beijing is to help AQSIQ develop national special equipment security identification standards (the "standards"), a special equipment identification information security management system (the "management system"), and a special equipment security/safety logo (the "logo").


As a result of the Circular, AQSIQ has entered into a Project Cooperation Agreement with the Company's Chinese joint venture company affiliate (Contract No. 0076180).  ASQIQ subsequently entered into supplementary provisions to the Project Cooperation Agreement in connection with the initial phase of AQSIQ's National Security/Safety Plans relating to liquefied natural gas containers (the "LNG Contract").


Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide and apply a security logo to all LNG containers in China.  According to Chinese government statistics, the total number of LNG containers in China is currently over 130 million and is expected to increase in quantity by 10% every year. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed taggant price per LNG container.  The specific taggant price per LNG container is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature.




14



Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to provide 50,000 units of one of its highly proprietary scanners and 15,000 units of another of its highly proprietary scanners to approximately 20,000 LNG gas stations, 30,000 special equipment  manufacturers, and 40,000 "platforms" in China.  Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price per scanner, with a different fixed price for each type of scanner.  The specific price per scanner is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature.


Finally, under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to establish a security management information system for 50,000 enterprises. Under the LNG Contract, TPID Beijing is to receive a fixed price per enterprise.  The specific price per enterprise is not being disclosed due to its proprietary nature. According to AQSIQ, among such enterprises and platforms include 5,016 enterprises in charge of manufacturing LNG containers and other pressurized containers, 14,995 enterprises in charge of charging LNG containers, 8,747 enterprises in charge of manufacturing, installing, reequipping and repairing boilers, and approximately 1,823 institutes in the Chinese state quality inspection system which check LNG containers.


Since AQSIQ's Circular, Project Cooperation Agreement and LNG Contract, the Company (1) has met and continues to meet with AQSIQ on a routine basis to develop, coordinate and implement the roll out of AQSIQ's National Safety/Security Plan as to LNG containers; (2) has developed a roll out plan and budget to implement the initial phase of AQSIQ’s National Safety/Security Plan pertaining to LNG containers and the initial designated areas of Beijing, Zhejiang, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Liaoning, and Yunnan Province; and (3) has completed the development of a fully operational automated production facility to mark China's LNG tanks, which AQSIQ has reviewed and approved, and which pursuant to AQSIQ’s Circular and mandate, LNG tank manufacturers and LNF refilling stations will be required to purchase from the Company.


On December 1, 2007, AQSIQ conducted critical discussions in Beijing with key Chinese national, provincial, and industry leaders regarding the Company’s Synthetic DNA and KMACK anti-counterfeiting and product safety monitoring technology and the AQSIQ Contract.  Attending the official conference that evening were leaders from AQSIQ, each provincial quality inspection administration, China Special Equipments Inspection Association and each LNG tank factory, gas station, gas tank inspection station, as well as other enterprises. The Honorable Cui Gang, Deputy Director of AQSIQ's Special Equipment Security Supervision Bureau, addressed the conference.  Earlier in the day, TPID Beijing held seminars at its new offices to discuss implementation of the S-DNA Special Equipment Security Taggant Information Supervision System Project mandated in AQSIQ's Circular. The seminar was hosted by the Honorable Huang Xiaohu, Director of AQSIQ's Credit Committee. Mr. Zuo Lie, Vice Manager of TPID Beijing, presented a specific implementation plan for AQSIQ's S-DNA Special Equipment Security Taggant Information Management System and Project. The seminar was attended by leaders and enterprises from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Hubei, Zhejiang and Liaoning Provinces, all of whom agreed with AQSIQ's endorsement of TPID's technology and provided comments on implementation.  


The Company has subsequently met with AQSIQ's senior leadership, including its Director General and Secretary.


The plan is for the Company to form a new joint venture company in Beijing with AQSIQ and/or its affiliates.  The new joint venture will be only with the US parent, True Product ID, Inc. (“TPID US”), rather than TPID Beijing, and will be owned 70% TPID US, 30% AQSIQ.  The first step will be to begin the roll out of AQSIQ’s National Security/ Safety Plan in six provinces and cities designated by AQSIQ within approximately six months.  Upon successful completion of this initial six month roll out, AQSIQ will enact additional national laws specifying the details of the continued roll out of the Company’s SDNA and KMACK technology in the remaining provinces and cities in China.  AQSIQ has also proposed extending its mandate to use the Company’s technology to applications other than LNG tanks, including, but not limited to, elevator parts, other pressurized containers, amusement park equipment, automobile manufacturing equipment, and cell phone batteries.  


On January 29, 2008, AQSIQ further formalized its partnership with the Company by formally issuing official written commitments known as “Red Hat” documents.  The Red Hat Documents are the initial set of official documents filed by AQSIQ to form the new joint venture with the Company.  They officially confirm AQSIQ’s commitment to form the new joint venture with the Company and to implement the LNG Contract with the Company.  The new joint venture will be called China Inspection True Product Technology Inc. Limited.  The Company and AQSIQ are proceeding with the remaining steps to register the new joint venture.


The latest revenue projections for only the LNG component of the five-year AQSIQ Contract is over US$2 billion gross and over US$1billion net.


Chinese JV Company Outgrows Old Office and Moves to New Larger Office





15


To keep pace with its growth and development, and to help better enable the Chinese JV Company to fulfill Chinese contracts, on September 28, 2007 the Chinese JV Company moved into a new larger office located at 11th floor, Jade Palace Hotel, 76 Zhichun Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100086.  The Chinese JV Company occupies the entire 11th floor of the Jade Palace Hotel, a new and leading commercial and hotel complex in Beijing, which is located in a special economic zone (SEZ) and thus allows the Chinese JV Company to continue to enjoy the same tax and other SEZ-related incentives it had at the old office.  The new office will now house the Chinese JV Company’s administrative, sales, marketing, and accounting departments and will also allow the Company to make taggant and to enlarge the ability to conduct research and development


RISK FACTORS:  RISKS RELATED TO OPERATING A BUSINESS IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ("PRC")


Joint ventures such as TPID Beijing are subject to general risks of operating in the PRC.  These include risks associated with the political and economic environment, foreign currency exchange and the legal system in the PRC. The economy of the PRC differs significantly from the economies of the western industrialized nations in such respects as structure, level of development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, repatriation, resource allocation, self-sufficiency, rate of inflation and balance of payment positions, among others. The PRC government encourages substantial private economic activities, but this has only been the case since the early 1990's. Recent pronouncements in the PRC were enacted to facilitate foreign investment in certain segments of Chinese industries which to date were primarily reserved for Chinese-owned or Chinese state-owned enterprises. Moreover, recent pronouncements were enacted to facilitate the ability of Western entities to either hold a majority interest in a Chinese joint venture company or to form a wholly-owned foreign-owned enterprise.  Given the recent nature of these pronouncements, it remains to be seen how uniformly they will be enforced and interpreted throughout China.  Further, despite the recent pronouncements, when a western entity is involved in significant Chinese government-related initiatives as the Company is, there remains advantages to forming a Sino-Western joint venture to build the type of relationships needed to secure and effectuate such government-related initiatives.


The Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past several years, but such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and geographic regions.  On one hand, China's development and growth have presented opportunities for the Company. The Company and its Chinese joint venture company affiliate have been designated to help Chinese government and industry address issues and challenges precipitated by such development and growth. On the other hand, such development and growth may present risks to entities operating a business in the PRC such as the Company and its Chinese joint venture company affiliate and their contracts and other opportunities in China.  Because of the challenges created by such growth, the PRC government has indicated and taken certain steps to control such growth and address such challenges. Actions by the PRC government to control inflation, for example, have restrained economic expansion in the recent past across several industrial sectors.  Similar and continued actions by the PRC government in the future could have a significant adverse effect on domestic economic condition in the PRC.


While there have been tremendous strides since its admission into the WTO, the PRC's comprehensive system of laws is still developing and evolving, and enforcement of existing laws at many different government levels may be uncertain, sporadic, and not uniform. There have been many laws and regulations promulgated in recent years dealing with economic matters in general and foreign investment in general.


There is no guarantee that there will not be any changes respecting Chinese government, economy, laws, and regulation which may adversely affect the Company and its Chinese joint venture company affiliate.  There is no guarantee that Chinese  Government may in the future enact regulatory, legal, economic and political regulations or policies which would adversely  affect the Company and its Chinese joint venture company  affiliate and the contracts and opportunities

in China.


The Company's Continued Efforts in Non-China Markets


As stated above, the Company's immediate priority is to focus on solidifying its foothold in China, implementing its China contracts, especially the AQSIQ Contract, and generating revenues from its China contracts.  Nonetheless, the Company continues its efforts to penetrate markets outside China.  


With respect to the United States, the Company has completed its initial business plan and will target certain strategic industries and applications where the Company has already successfully demonstrated and tested in the United States or China, often with multinational companies based in the United States which manufacture their goods in China. Those industries include, among others, packaging, pharmaceutical/ biotech (blister packs and bottles), cosmetics, toys and consumer products, pressurized tanks, and sports and lottery tickets.





16


Its current strategy for non-China markets outside the United States is to enter into strategic relationships (whether in the form of a joint venture, licensing or other arrangement) with leading companies in certain markets outside China, which have developed their own technologies complimentary to the Company's, have established significant distribution networks in those markets, and/or have expressed an interest in distributing the Company's technologies in those markets.  To that end, the Company has met with and received interest from companies with significant networks in India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe, the United States, Canada and the Middle East.  The Company's strategy is to benefit from those companies' already established distribution networks and operational capabilities in those markets, while minimizing the resources the Company itself would need to distribute and operate in those markets.  The Company has also met and generated significant interest from a leading multinational company in the inspection, certification, and testing field.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Not Applicable


ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for our company and our subsidiary. Such officers have concluded (based upon his evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report) that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


The Certifying Officers have also indicated that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation, and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Our management, including the Certifying Officers, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


As required by Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. During the preparation of the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company concluded that the then current system of disclosure controls and procedures needed improvement, partly due to the transition to new management, facilities, and auditors. As a result of this conclusion, the Company initiated changes in internal control. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

Lack of Adequate Accounting Staff


Due to limitations in financial and management resources, the Company does not have adequate accounting staff.  As a result, the Company took steps to address its understaffed Finance and Accounting team to correct this material weakness.  The Company engaged an independent contractor with extensive CFO-level management and SEC reporting experience in public companies.  The Company feels this addition to the Company's Finance and Accounting team will improve the quality of future period financial reporting.

PART II


ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


On October 31, 2007, Daniel Fasano -- a shareholder and creditor of the Company -- filed a pro se petition for the statutory appointment of a receiver in the Delaware Court of Chancery.  In his petition, Mr. Fasano claims that the Company is insolvent based, in part, due to in excess of $900,000 he claims the Company owes him that remains unpaid.  In its January 4, 2008 Answer to the Petition, the Company denied and continues to deny that it is insolvent and that the appointment of a receiver is required.  The Company explained that Mr. Fasano is a party to certain agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay him certain monies that have not yet been fully paid.  The Company went on to explain that Mr. Fasano owes the Company in excess of $330,000, which amount exceeds the amount which the Company believes Fasano is owed by the Company pursuant to the aforementioned agreements.  Specifically, in exchange for acquiring from the Company its former subsidiary, Seen OnTV, Inc., d/b/a, inter alia, AsSeenOnTV.com (“Seen on TV”) and all of the assets of the Company associated therewith, Fasano agreed in September 2005 to pay the Company a total of $300,000 by paying the Company 25% of the net, after-tax income from the operations of Seen on TV, d/b/a, inter alia, as AsSeenOnTV.com, which amount would bear interest at 5.75% per year until such debt, plus accrued interest, was paid in full. Fasano has never performed his obligations under this contract.  


On or about February 28, 2008, Daniel M. Fasano filed a lawsuit, pro se, in Broward County, Florida against the Company for damages in the amount of approximately $900,000.  The Company responded to the lawsuit by filing a Motion to Dismiss on jurisdictional grounds.  The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and if Mr. Fasano pursues it, the Company intends to vigorously defend it.
