PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to an investor. We encourage you to read this entire prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes to our consolidated financial statements completely and carefully before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. You should also review the other available information referred to in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 36.
 
Summary of our Business
 
We provide video surveillance products and systems for a variety of applications and for use in numerous markets including educational institutions, retail stores and warehouses, gaming establishments, theme parks, public works projects, bank branches and offices, and many other homeland security applications.
 
Our product line includes cameras designed for specific applications, recording systems, displays, management software and other necessary ancillary products. These products can be configured as a system that is scalable as customer needs expand or become more complex in nature.
 
We primarily target the middle market where a typical customer’s need is for a system that incorporates from four cameras to sixty-four cameras in any one location. We offer a premium brand and a wide product range with an attractive product feature set that is backed by a strong service and support platform. Our customers include distributors and system integrators that specialize in the supply and/or installation of video surveillance and other physical security products, such as access control and intrusion detection.
 
We represent Samsung Electronics as the primary distributor of their branded security and surveillance products in the Americas. We also sell a line of complementary products under the GVI brand in those territories. Samsung Electronics has been and continues to be our primary supplier of the video security products that we distribute. In October 2006, we entered into a new agreement with Samsung under which we have been granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in North, Central and South America through December 31, 2010. Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in these territories.
 
In order to serve our customers with timely delivery and after sales service, we operate sales and distribution centers in Dallas, Texas, Mexico City, Mexico, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Bogotá, Colombia. We also operate a customer call center in Dallas Texas.
 
The Company
 
We were incorporated in August 1996 as Thinking Tools, Inc. and were originally engaged in the software development business. From December 18, 2000 until February 20, 2004, we had no active business. On February 20, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, we acquired all of the stock of GVI Security, Inc. in a merger, and the business of GVI Security, Inc. became our business. On April 12, 2004, we changed our name to GVI Security Solutions, Inc.

Our executive offices are located at 2801 Trade Center Drive, Suite 120, Carrollton, Texas 75007. Our telephone number is (972) 245-7353.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY AND OUR BUSINESS

A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A SINGLE SUPPLIER.

Historically, Samsung Electronics has been our primary supplier for the security products that we distribute. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 65%, 67% and 50%, respectively, of our revenues (excluding revenues from discontinued operations) were attributable to products manufactured by Samsung, whose products we sold under an exclusive distribution agreement. Our exclusive agreement to distribute Samsung products in the Retail Channel to a major national retailer expired on December 31, 2005, and Samsung terminated the remaining portion of its agreement with us in January 2006. Samsung was entitled to terminate the distribution agreement because we did not purchase the minimum amounts required to be purchased thereunder during the 2005 calendar year. Following the termination of our agreement with Samsung, our Board of Directors approved the discontinuation of sales to the Retail Channel.
 
On October 2, 2006, we entered into a new Distributorship Agreement with Samsung under which we have been granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in the “territory” comprising North, Central and South America through December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Distributorship Agreement, Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in the territory. Although we consider our relationship with Samsung to be good, in the event we fail to purchase the minimum amount of products required under the Distribution Agreement or breach any other provision of the agreement, Samsung can again terminate its agreement with us and sell products to our competitors. Further, if Samsung fails to perform its obligations under the Distribution Agreement or we are unable to renew our agreement with Samsung, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
 
A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO TWO KEY CUSTOMERS.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 20% and 18% respectively of our sales. During the year ended December 31, 2006, these same two customers accounted for 16% and 14% respectively of our sales from continuing operations. As a result, our revenues and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if these clients reduce their purchases of our products.
 
WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RECENT OPERATING LOSSES AND MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL OPERATING LOSSES IN THE FUTURE.

We incurred a net loss of approximately $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as net losses of approximately $13.0 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These net losses primarily resulted from increased administrative, accounting, finance and legal costs following our February 2004 merger, write-downs of both retail and professional channel inventory, returns of retail products previously sold by us, and write downs of goodwill and other assets associated with our Rapor products. Our 2006 loss included a $4.5 million non-cash charge from a beneficial conversion feature from a convertible note. We have taken steps to reduce our costs and increase sales of our products. As a result, we have been profitable in each fiscal quarter during 2007, and our first quarter of 2008, generating net income of approximately $2,637,000 in 2007, and $330,000 in our first quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
3


SAMSUNG SUBJECTS US TO CREDIT LIMITS, WHICH CAN LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS AND SELL THOSE PRODUCTS TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

Samsung sets credit limits with respect to amounts owed by us to Samsung for products purchased by us from Samsung. To the extent the amount we owe Samsung at a given time exceeds these limits, Samsung will not ship to us additional products unless we pay for those products in cash or provide Samsung with a letter of credit. During the third quarter of 2006, Samsung suspended shipment of products to us as a result of a reduction in our credit limit, causing us to maintain lower levels of inventory during the remainder of 2006, negatively impacting our sales during the third and fourth quarter of 2006. In conjunction with our new agreement with Samsung that we entered into on October 2, 2006, and our payment of $3 million to Samsung for past-due amounts, Samsung resumed shipments to us in the fourth quarter of 2006. In the future, if we exceed Samsung’s credit limits and have insufficient cash to purchase products from Samsung, we may be unable to meet the demands of our customers and our business and relationships with our customers may be materially adversely affected. 

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO THE RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES IN OUR INDUSTRY AND CHANGES IN OUR CUSTOMERS' REQUIREMENTS AND PREFERENCES, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

If we are unable, for technological, legal, financial or other reasons, to adapt in a timely manner to changing market conditions or customer requirements, we could lose customers and market share. The electronic security systems industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Sudden changes in customer requirements and preferences, the frequent introduction of new products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices could render our existing products, services and systems obsolete. The emerging nature of products and services in the electronic security systems industry and their rapid evolution will require that we continually improve the performance, features and reliability of our products and services. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability:
 
 
·
to enhance our existing products and services;
 
 
·
to anticipate changing customer requirements by designing, developing, and launching new products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our current and prospective customers; and
 
 
·
to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
 
The development of additional products and services involves significant technological and business risks and requires substantial expenditures and lead time. If we fail to introduce products with new technologies in a timely manner, or adapt our products to these new technologies, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that even if we are able to introduce new products or adapt our products to new technologies that our products will gain acceptance among our customers. In addition, from time to time, we or our competitors may announce new products, product enhancements or technological innovations that have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of our products and that may cause customers to defer purchasing our existing products, resulting in inventory obsolescence.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION BECAUSE OF STRONG COMPETITION IN THE ELECTRONIC SECURITY SYSTEMS INDUSTRY, AND WE EXPECT THIS COMPETITION TO CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY.

The electronic security systems industry is highly competitive and has become more so over the last several years as security issues and concerns have become a primary consideration at both government and private facilities worldwide. Competition is intense among a wide range and fragmented group of product and service providers, including electronic security equipment manufacturers, distributors, providers of integrated security systems, systems integrators, consulting firms and engineering and design firms and others that provide competitive systems or individual elements of a system. Some of our competitors are larger than us and possess significantly greater name recognition, assets, personnel, sales and financial resources. These entities may be able to respond more quickly to changing market conditions by developing new products and services that meet customer requirements or are otherwise superior to our products and services and may be able to more effectively market their products than we can because they have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Increased competition could require us to reduce our prices, result in our receiving fewer customers orders, and result in our loss of market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to distinguish ourselves in a competitive market. To the extent that we are unable to successfully compete against existing and future competitors, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
 
4


WE DEPEND ON OUR MANUFACTURERS, SOME OF WHICH ARE OUR SOLE SOURCE FOR SPECIFIC PRODUCTS. OUR BUSINESS AND REPUTATION WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED IF THESE MANUFACTURERS FAIL TO SUPPLY US WITH THE PRODUCTS WE REQUIRE AND ALTERNATIVE SOURCES ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

Samsung’s ability to provide security products needed for our market is critical to our success. We also have relationships with a number of other manufacturers for the supply of our GVI branded products. Our success depends in part on whether our manufacturers are able to fill the orders we place with them and in a timely manner. If any of our manufacturers fail to satisfactorily perform their contractual obligations or fill purchase orders we place with them, we may be required to pursue replacement manufacturer relationships. If we are unable to find replacements on a timely basis, or at all, we may be forced to either temporarily or permanently discontinue the sale of certain products and associated services, which could expose us to legal liability, loss of reputation and risk of loss or reduced profit. Although we continually evaluate our relationships with our manufacturers and plan for contingencies if a problem should arise with a manufacturer, finding new manufacturers that offer a similar type of product would be a complicated and time consuming process and we cannot assure you that if we ever need to find a new manufacturer for certain of our products we would be able to do so on a completely seamless basis, or at all. Our business, results of operation and reputation would be adversely impacted if we are unable to provide our products to our customers in a timely manner. 

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS IN PART ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING KEY SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND QUALIFIED TECHNICAL AND SALES PERSONNEL. WE ALSO FACE CERTAIN RISKS AS A RESULT OF THE RECENT CHANGES TO OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM. 

Our future success depends in part on the contributions of our management team and key technical and sales personnel and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. In particular, our success depends on our senior management team, consisting of Steven Walin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Joseph Restivo, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Walin and Mr. Restivo are each a party to an employment agreement with us that expires in December 2011. There is significant competition in our industry for qualified managerial, technical and sales personnel and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key senior managerial, technical and sales personnel or that we will be able to attract, integrate and retain other such personnel that we may require in the future. We also cannot assure you that our employees will not leave and subsequently compete against us. If we cannot work together effectively to overcome any operational challenges that arise during the integration process, if our new management team cannot master the details of our business and our market or if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS TO WELLS FARGO SECURED BY SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR ASSETS. IF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS UNDER OUR CREDIT AGREEMENT WITH WELLS FARGO, WELLS FARGO MAY FORECLOSE ON OUR ASSETS.

On November 20, 2007, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association under which we were provided with a $15 million revolving credit facility. On November 21, 2007, we borrowed approximately $10.3 million under the credit facility, using approximately $8.6 million of the proceeds to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness to our prior secured lender. The Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo provides for the following events of default (among others):

 
·
failure to pay interest and principal when due;
 
 
·
an uncured breach by us of any covenant (including financial covenants), term or condition in the Credit and Security Agreement or any of the related loan documents;
 
5

 
 
·
a breach by us, in any material respect, of any representation or warranty made in the Credit and Security Agreement or any of the related loan documents;
 
 
·
any money judgment or similar final process is filed against us for more than $50,000;
 
 
·
the occurrence of a “Change in Control” as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement;
 
 
·
the occurrence of a material adverse change in our business or financial condition; and
 
 
·
any form of bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is instituted by or against us.
 

WE RELY ON INDEPENDENT DEALERS AND DISTRIBUTORS TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS. DISRUPTION TO THIS DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

Because we sell a significant portion of our products to independent dealers and distributors, we are subject to many risks, including risks related to their inventory levels and support for our products. In particular, if dealers and distributors do not maintain sufficient levels of inventory to meet customer demand, our sales could be negatively impacted.
 
Our dealers and distributors also sell products offered by our competitors. If our competitors offer our dealers and distributors more favorable terms, those dealers and distributors may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In the future, we may not be able to retain or attract a sufficient number of qualified dealers and distributors. If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with dealers and distributors or to expand our distribution channels, our business could suffer.

OUR BUSINESS AND REPUTATION AS A DISTRIBUTOR OF HIGH QUALITY VIDEO SURVEILLANCE AND SECURITY EQUIPMENT MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY PRODUCT DEFECTS OR SUBSTANDARD PERFORMANCE.

We believe that we offer state-of-the art products that are reliable and competitively priced. In the event that our products do not perform to specifications, we and/or the manufacturer of such products might be required to redesign or recall those products or pay substantial damages or warranty claims. Such an event could result in significant expenses, disrupt sales and affect our reputation and that of our products. In addition, product defects could result in substantial product liability. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, we cannot assure you that it is adequate or that it will remain available on acceptable terms. If we face liability claims that exceed our insurance or that are not covered by our insurance, our business, financial condition and results of operation would be adversely affected.
 
OUR GROWTH STRATEGY INCLUDES MAKING ACQUISITIONS IN THE FUTURE, WHICH COULD SUBJECT US TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS, ANY OF WHICH COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

Our growth strategy includes identifying and acquiring or investing in suitable candidates on acceptable terms. Over time, we may acquire or make investments in other providers of product offerings that complement our business and other companies in the security industry.

Acquisitions involve a number of risks and present financial, managerial and operational challenges, including:

 
·
diversion of management's attention from running our existing business;
 
 
·
increased expenses, including travel, legal, administrative and compensation expenses resulting from newly hired employees;
 
6

 
 
·
increased costs to integrate personnel, customer base and business practices of the acquired company with our own;
 
 
·
adverse effects on our reported operating results due to possible write-down of goodwill associated with acquisitions;
 
 
·
potential disputes with sellers of acquired businesses, technologies, services or products; and
 
 
·
dilution to stockholders if we issue securities in any acquisition. 
 
Moreover, performance problems with an acquired business, technology, product or service could also have a material adverse impact on our reputation as a whole. In addition, any acquired business, technology, product or service could significantly under-perform relative to our expectations, and we may not achieve the benefits we expect from our acquisitions. For all these reasons, our pursuit of an acquisition and investment strategy or any individual acquisition or investment, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
In December 2004 we completed the acquisition of Rapor, Inc. During the third quarter of 2006, we recorded impairment costs of approximately $977,000 related to Rapor. These costs resulted from the write-off of goodwill of approximately $544,000, as well as the write-off of the remaining net book values of trademark and technology associated with the Rapor products of approximately $433,000. Management concluded that the Rapor product line no longer fit our existing distribution channels and market strategy and, accordingly wrote-off goodwill, trademarks and technology associated with this product line. In 2007, we disposed of our remaining Rapor assets for nominal consideration.
 
WE FACE LABOR, POLITICAL AND CURRENCY RISKS BECAUSE SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS' FACTORIES ARE LOCATED IN KOREA AND CHINA, AND WE MAY FACE OTHER RISKS IF WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS INTERNATIONALLY.

Since our primary suppliers are located in Korea, we may face a number of additional risks, including those arising from the current political tension between North and South Korea. While we have not faced any problems to date, in the future, as we continue to expand our business internationally, we may face:

 
·
regulatory limitations imposed by foreign governments,
 
 
·
price increases due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
 
 
·
political, military and terrorist risks,
 
 
·
disruptions or delays in shipments caused by customs brokers or government agencies,
 
 
·
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, customs, duties and other trade barriers, and
 
 
·
potentially adverse tax consequences resulting from changes in tax laws.
 
We cannot assure you that one or more of the factors described above will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

INVESTMENT RISKS
 
OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN LISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON A MORE LIQUID MARKET.
 
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the American or New York Stock Exchange) or an automated quotation system (such as the NASDAQ National Market or NASDAQ Capital Market). There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on an automated quotation system or securities exchange.

PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK.

To the extent the price of our Common Stock remains below $5.00 per share, our Common Stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker dealers which sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend penny stocks to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors" must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock and may make it more difficult for holders of our Common Stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.

SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE OWNED BY THE INVESTORS IN OUR OCTOBER 2006 PRIVATE PLACEMENT, WHICH LIMITS THE ABILITY OF OUR OTHER STOCKHOLDERS TO INFLUENCE CORPORATE MATTERS.
 
As a result of our October 2006 private placement and conversion of the Convertible Notes issued in that private placement, the investors in the private placement as a group were the beneficial owners of approximately 96% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, and currently beneficially own approximately 90% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, these stockholders can decide the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to our stockholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also could prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of these stockholders may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. Third parties may be discouraged from making a tender offer or bid to acquire us because of this concentration of ownership.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Through our subsidiaries, we provide video surveillance and security solutions products, incorporating a complete line of video surveillance and detection systems, to the homeland security, professional and business-to-business market segments. We provide a strong combination of closed circuit televisions (CCTVs), digital video recorders (DVRs), and networking products that enhance life safety for both government agencies and the private sector.

Discontinuance of Retail Sales

Historically, sales of our products in the Retail Channel have accounted for a substantial portion of our revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2005, 56% of our revenues, including revenues from discontinued operations, were from sales in the Retail Channel. Among other reasons, the decline in sales of our retail products resulted from the replacement of our products by a major national retailer that accounted for substantially all of our Retail Channel sales with products manufactured by a competitor. In addition, our exclusive agreement to distribute Samsung products in the Retail Channel to this retailer expired on December 31, 2005. As a result, in the first quarter of 2006 our board of directors approved the discontinuance of our sales to the Retail Channel so that we can focus our efforts on sales to professionals and wholesale distributors.  

The retail business is accounted for as discontinued operations and, accordingly, its operations are segregated in the accompanying financial statements. In connection with the discontinuance of the Retail Channel business for the year ended December 31, 2006, we wrote down assets identified with the retail business by approximately $2.4 to net realizable value. The write down to net realizable value was based on management’s best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the disposition of all related assets and liabilities held for disposition from the discontinued operations. At December 31, 2006, we had divested of substantially all retail inventory and other related assets The results of the discontinued operations do not include any allocation of corporate overhead during the periods presented.
 
Reverse Stock Split
 
On October 6, 2006, we completed a $5 million private placement, and in connection therewith, on November 27, 2006, we effected a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Common Stock. After giving effect to the reverse split, we had outstanding 26,392,834 shares of Common Stock, of which 25,202,314 were issued to the investors in the private placement. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share amounts in this prospectus, including the accompanying financial statements, give retroactive effect to the 1-for-50 reverse stock split.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies have significant effect in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition 

Our primary source of revenue is from sales of our products. We recognize revenue when the sales process is deemed complete and associated revenue has been earned. Our policy is to recognize revenue when risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer. Net sales is comprised of gross revenue less expected returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which we recognize the related revenue or the date on which we offer the incentive. For those incentives that require the estimate of sales volume or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates, we use historical experience and internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentives at the time revenue is recognized.

We allow customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in our trade terms. We regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, our estimates of sales returns which are primarily based on actual historical return rates. We record estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount we expect to realize upon their subsequent disposition. The physical condition and marketability of the returned products are the major factors considered by us in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as realized values on returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from our estimates if factors such as customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from our estimates and expectations and, in the case of actual returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from our estimates and expectations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from customers' inability to make payments. We assess each account that is more than 90 days delinquent and other accounts when information known to us indicates amounts may be uncollectible. In order to estimate the appropriate level of the allowance, we consider such factors as historical bad debts, current customer credit worthiness, changes in customer payment patterns and any correspondence with the customer. In 2007 and 2006 we experienced losses, or recorded provisions for potential losses, from customers' inability to make payments, totaling approximately $163,000 and $817,000, which were equal to 0.4% and 1.8% of revenues, respectively. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate and impair their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required in future periods.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consists of goods held for resale and parts used for repair work. Reserves are recorded for slow-moving, obsolete, nonsaleable or unusable items based upon a product-level review, in order to reflect inventory balances at their net realizable value. Inventory reserve balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $2,558,000 and $2,541,000, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS 142) effective January 1, 2005. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment using the guidance for measuring impairment set forth in this statement.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we concluded that the Rapor product line no longer fit the Company’s existing distribution channels and market strategy and, accordingly, recorded impairment costs of approximately $977,000 resulting from the write-off of goodwill of approximately $544,000, and the write-off of the remaining net book value of the trademark and technology associated with Rapor products totaling approximately $433,000, as prescribed under SFAS 142. No such impairment expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
 
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal date of temporary differences not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Also, a valuation allowance is used, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized in the future based on available evidence.
 
11


Stock-Based Compensation

We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remained unvested on the effective date. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” under which the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared To Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
 
Net Revenues

Net revenues increased approximately $325,000, or 3% to approximately $11.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 from approximately $11.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue reflects increased sales to distributors, integrators and installers of a variety of products manufactured by Samsung Electronics as well as other manufacturers.

Cost Of Goods Sold From Continuing Operations

Total cost of goods sold decreased approximately $143,000 or 2% to approximately $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from approximately $8.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to higher product margins and lower net freight costs. The decrease was partially offset by increased sales during the three month period ended March 31, 2008.

As a result of the changes described above in revenues and cost of goods sold, gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased approximately $469,000 to approximately $3.4 million from approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to approximately 30.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with approximately 26.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Selling, General And Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately $248,000, or 10%, to approximately $2.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 from approximately $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007, as follows:

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased approximately $230,000, or 18%, to approximately $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 from approximately $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel expense and an increase in expenses to operate international offices.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses held flat at approximately $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31 2008 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007. General and Administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 reflect (i) $127,000 of expense for warrants issued to a consulting firm during the period (ii) an increase in personnel expenses of approximately $81,000 and (iii) a reduction of bad debt expense of approximately $147,000.
 
12


Interest Expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased 44% to approximately $196,000 from approximately $351,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease is primarily a result of a reduction in amortized loan fees during the three months ended March 31, 2008 of approximately $142,000, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007. The remaining decrease was attributable to the lower interest rate on the Wells Fargo credit facility in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the interest rate on the Laurus facility in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was partially offset by the higher average loan balance outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Income Tax Expense
 
We reflected a provision for federal, state and local income tax of approximately $210,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to recording an expense of approximately $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Provisions for tax recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2008 relate to both federal income taxes and state franchise taxes that were estimated to be due in various states in which we are licensed and transact business. Our estimated effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 39%.

For the three month period ending March 31, 2007, we did not record any federal income tax liability with respect to our net income in that period due to the availability of loss carry-forwards.

Net Income

As a result of the items discussed above, we earned net income of approximately $330,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with net income of approximately $160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006
 
Net Revenues From Continuing Operations

Net revenues increased approximately $1.0 million, or 2% to approximately $45.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $44.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenues reflects increased sales to distributors, integrators and installers of a variety of products manufactured by Samsung Electronics as well as other manufacturers. Our net revenues for 2007 also reflect a decrease of $1.9 million in total returns and allowances. Management believes the reduction in returns and allowances primarily resulted from a change in our customer return policies as well as improved customer satisfaction with our core products. We continue to introduce new products to complement our existing lines, and will continue to focus on the professional market through various channels.
 
Cost Of Goods Sold From Continuing Operations
 
Total cost of goods sold decreased approximately $5.2 million, or 14% to approximately $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from approximately $37.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease was due to (i) improved product margins, (ii) reduced product returns under warranty, (iii) lower net freight costs, and (iv) significant inventory write downs of approximately $1.4 million occurring in 2006.

As a result of the changes described above in revenues and cost of goods sold, gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to approximately $12.8 million from approximately $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 28.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 15% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
13


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 24% to approximately $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as follows:
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately 16% to approximately $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a decrease in commissions of approximately $638,000, and (ii) an increase of approximately $439,000 in marketing expenses paid for by our suppliers. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in promotional expenses of approximately $103,000.
 
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 31% to approximately $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $7.1 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Major items resulting in this decrease were (i) $581,000 of bad debt expense incurred in 2006 with no similar charge in 2007, (ii) a decrease of approximately $525,000 in salaries and benefits, (iii) a decrease of approximately $302,000 in legal fees, (iv) a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $257,000, (v) a decrease of approximately $185,000 in directors’ fees, and (vi) a decrease in insurance and property taxes of approximately $231,000.
 
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded impairment costs of approximately $977,000. These costs resulted from the write-off of goodwill of approximately $544,000, and the write-off of the remaining net book value of the trademark and technology associated with the Rapor products of approximately $433,000. No similar impairment expenses were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased 83% to approximately $1.0 million, from approximately $5.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was the result of (i) a charge of $4.5 million to record beneficial conversion features resulting from the issuance of convertible notes in 2006, with no similar charge in 2007, (ii) higher deferred debt amortization, totaling $600,000 for 2006 as compared to $212,000 in 2007, and (iii) approximately $324,000 of lower interest expense in 2007 as compared with 2006, due to lower average outstanding debt balances and a lower average interest rate in 2007. These decreases were partially offset by the effect of a favorable adjustment during 2006 of $320,000 whereby interest expense that had been accrued in prior periods was not required to be paid to our prior lender.
 
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
 
We recorded a provision for federal, state and local income tax of approximately $43,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition, we recorded a benefit of approximately $984,000 associated with our tax loss carry-forwards eligible for utilization in the year ending December 31, 2008. This produced a net income tax benefit of approximately $941,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to an expense of approximately $14,000 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2006.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
Gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $233,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The gain for the year ended December 31, 2007 reflects the remaining reserve we had taken in connection with our obligations to service our discontinued retail product line, which obligations terminated during the year ended December 31, 2007. The loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflects negative revenues and reserves recorded in connection with returns of retail products sold in prior periods, and write downs of returned retail inventories. Operating results from discontinued operations do not include any allocation of corporate overhead.
 
14

 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the items discussed above there was net income of approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with a net loss of approximately $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Net Revenues From Continuing Operations

Net revenues increased approximately $3.2 million, or 8% to approximately $44.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $40.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase reflects a $5.0 million, or 13%, increase in sales of professional products, offset by a decrease of approximately $1.8 million, or 93%, in enterprise solutions revenues, which have been discontinued. The increase in revenues of our professional products reflected increased sales to distributors, integrators and installers of a variety of products manufactured by Samsung Electronics as well as other manufacturers. The reduction in enterprise solutions revenues reflects sales of the Rapor portal during the year ended December 31, 2005, with no corresponding sales during the year ended December 31, 2006. During the third quarter of 2006, management concluded that the Rapor product line no longer fit our existing distribution channels and market strategy, and. accordingly wrote-off intangibles associated with this product line.
 
Cost Of Goods Sold From Continuing Operations
 
Total cost of goods sold increased approximately $2.6 million, or 7% to approximately $37.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, from approximately $34.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to the increased revenue volume from the sale of professional products, partially offset by improved margins on professional products, which resulted in an overall increase in cost of sales for professional products of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the period ended December 31, 2005. In addition, cost of sales related to enterprise sales decreased $1.3 million for the period ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period in 2005 as a result of the absence of sales of the Rapor product in 2006. Indirect costs included in cost of goods sold, related to salaries and expenses associated with our warehouse, assembly and technical support services departments, increased $600,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. Other charges included in cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2006 of approximately $1.6 million related to adjustments to reflect slow-moving inventory to their net realizable value, as compared to similar adjustments of approximately $630,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
As a result of the changes described above in revenues and cost of goods sold, gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased to approximately $6.6 million from approximately $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, and gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 15.0% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with 14.6% for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased 12% to approximately $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, as follows:
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased approximately 30% to approximately $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to (i) the elimination of approximately $800,000 of expense related to a licensing agreement entered into January 1, 2005, which was not renewed for 2006, (ii) decreases of approximately $356,000 in sales and marketing staff salaries and related benefits, (iii) a decrease of approximately $530,000 in promotional expenses, (iv) a decrease in commissions of approximately $591,000, and (v) a reduction in travel and other various general and administrative expenses of $330,000.
 
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased 17% to approximately $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $6.1 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005.  Major items resulting in the increased general and administrative expense were (i) approximately $710,000 in personnel termination costs, (ii) stock based compensation expense of approximately $332,000 recorded due to the adoption of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006, with no comparable expense in 2005, and (iii) an increase in bad debt expenses of approximately $746,000. These increases were partially offset by decreases in (i) professional fees of $240,000, (ii) contract and temporary labor of $272,000 and (iii) various other general and administrative expenses of approximately $250,000.
 
15

 
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded impairment costs of approximately $977,000. These costs resulted from the write-off of goodwill of approximately $544,000, and the write-off of the remaining net book value of the trademark and technology associated with the Rapor products of approximately $433,000. No similar impairment expenses were recorded in the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 367% to approximately $5.9 million, from approximately $1.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was the result of (i) a charge of $4.5 million to record beneficial conversion features resulting from the issuance of convertible notes with exercise terms more favorable than prevailing market conditions, (ii) a charge of approximately $47,000 to reflect the fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with the October 2006 private placement transaction, and (iii) interest associated with convertible notes issued in conjunction with the October 2006 private placement transaction of approximately $40,000.
 
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
 
We recorded a provision for federal, state and local income tax of approximately $14,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to an expense of approximately $83,000 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005. The $14,000 expense relates to state franchise taxes due in various states in which we are licensed and transact business. At December 31, 2006, we believed that any provision for federal and state tax benefits due to our loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 would be offset by an equal increase in a valuation allowance as a result of our history of recurring operating losses.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, was approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The loss for the period ended December 31, 2006 reflects negative revenues and reserves recorded in connection with returns of retail products sold in prior periods, and write downs of returned retail inventories. In September 2006 we entered into an agreement with our former retail distribution agent whereby the parties terminated the alliance agreement and the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. In addition, we transferred to the distribution agent substantially all of our remaining retail inventory in satisfaction of any and all remaining outstanding and future return obligations. In comparison to our negative revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, we had net revenues of approximately $13.8 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005. Operating results from discontinued operations do not include any allocation of corporate overhead.
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the items discussed above there was a net loss of approximately $16.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with a net loss of approximately $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2008, we had cash and equivalents of approximately $487,000, a working capital surplus of approximately $14.4 million, and an outstanding balance of $11.8 million under the Wells Fargo revolving credit facility. In comparison, at December 31, 2007, we had cash and equivalents of approximately $313,000, a working capital surplus of approximately $11.5 million, and an outstanding balance under the Wells Fargo revolving credit facility of approximately $10.3 million. Additionally, we had borrowing availability under the credit facility of approximately $3.2 million at March 31, 2008, as compared with borrowing availability of $1.9 million at December 31, 2007.
 
16

 
Cash increased from $313,000 at December 31, 2007 to $488,000 at March 31, 2008 primarily as a result of (i) net borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $1.4 million, (ii) net income of approximately $330,000, and (iii) an increase of approximately $1.0 million in accounts payable. These factors were partially offset by (i) an increase in inventory of approximately $1.7 million, (ii) an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $600,000, (iii) and an increase of prepaids and other current assets of approximately $300,000.
 
By its terms, our prior credit facility with Laurus, which has since been repaid in full, was to mature on December 31, 2007. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006, obligations owed to Laurus were reflected as current liabilities.
 
Management believe that cash generated from operations, together with borrowings available under the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo described below, will provide us with adequate financing to fund operations and meet our cash requirements through the end of 2008.
 
$15 Million Wells Fargo Revolving Credit Facility
 
On November 20, 2007, through our wholly-owned subsidiary GVI Security, Inc., we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association under which we were provided with a $15 million revolving credit facility. On November 21, 2007, we borrowed approximately $10.3 million under the credit facility, using approximately $8.6 million of the proceeds to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness to Laurus Master Fund. In addition, we used $1.7 million of the initial loan proceeds to increase our working capital. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by all of our assets. Upon closing, we paid Wells Fargo an origination fee of $37,500. We also pay Wells Fargo an annual fee equal to .25% of the average daily unused portion of the Facility. Outstanding loans under the credit facility will become due on November 20, 2010.
 
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, among other things:
 
 
·
Interest accrues on outstanding loans under the credit facility, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate from time to time in effect (5.25% at March 31, 2008) plus .75% percent, or a LIBOR rate selected by us, plus 3.25%.

 
·
In the event we achieve Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of $1,000,000 in the year ending December 31, 2008, the interest rate under the credit facility will be prospectively reduced by .50% per annum.

Aggregate loans (plus the face amount of letters of credit) outstanding under the credit facility at any time may not exceed the lesser of $15 million or a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of “Eligible Accounts” plus the lesser of (i) 60% of “Eligible Inventory” (valued at the lower of cost or market), (ii) 85% of the “Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory,” and (iii) $8.5 million.

 
·
We will be required to pay a prepayment fee to Wells Fargo if the credit facility is terminated prior to maturity. Such fee ranges from $300,000 if the credit facility is terminated prior to November 20, 2008, to $37,500 if the credit facility is terminated after November 20, 2009 but prior to the maturity date.

·
We are required to comply with a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict our ability to pay dividends, require us to achieve minimum quarterly Net Income as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and require us to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each quarter of not less than 1.25 to 1.0.

October 2006 and January 2007 Private Placements
 
On October 6, 2006, we completed a $5 million private placement, consisting of 100 Units at a price of $50,000 per unit. Each Unit consisted of 25,000 shares of Common Stock and a 6% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Notes”) in the principal amount of $45,000 convertible into 225,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $.20. As a result, we issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock for $500,000 and Convertible Notes in the principal amount of $4,500,000 convertible into 22,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. On November 27, 2006, we effected a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Common Stock, and all of the Convertible Notes (including approximately $40,460 of accrued interest) were converted to Common Stock. After giving effect to the reverse split and the conversion, we had outstanding 26,392,834 shares of Common Stock, of which 25,202,314 were issued to the purchasers of the Units (2,500,000 on the closing of the October 2006 private placement and 22,702,314 upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in November 2006).
 
Approximately $3 million of the proceeds of the private placement were immediately used to repay past due amounts owed Samsung for security products previously purchased by us, and approximately $108,000 was paid to a consulting group owned and controlled by our former Chairman of the Board. The balance of the net proceeds from the private placement have been used primarily for working capital and to pay expenses incurred in connection with the private placement.
 
On January 22, 2007, we completed an additional private placement of 1,713,334 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share for aggregate gross consideration of $1,028,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that would have a material effect on our financial results.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are not subject in any material respect to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not currently have any foreign currency hedging contracts in place, nor did we enter into any such contracts during 2006 or 2007. To date, exchange rate fluctuations have had little impact on our operating results and cash flows.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Loans under our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest related to the “prime” and “LIBOR” rates in effect from time to time. Accordingly, increases in the prime and LIBOR rates will increase our interest expense. We do not use interest rate hedging contracts to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates.

BUSINESS
 
Overview
 
We provide video surveillance products and systems for a variety of applications and for use in numerous markets including educational institutions, retail stores and warehouses, gaming establishments, theme parks, public works projects, bank branches and offices, and many other homeland security applications.
 
 Our product line includes cameras designed for specific applications, recording systems, displays, management software and other necessary ancillary products. These products can be configured as a system that is scalable as customer needs expand or become more complex in nature.
 
We primarily target the middle market where a typical customer’s need is for a system that incorporates from four cameras to sixty-four cameras in any one location. We offer a premium brand and a wide product range with an attractive product feature set that is backed by a strong service and support platform. Our customers include distributors and system integrators that specialize in the supply and/or installation of video surveillance and other physical security products, such as access control and intrusion detection.
 
We represent Samsung Electronics as the primary distributor of their branded security and surveillance products in the Americas. We also sell a line of complementary products under the GVI brand in those territories. Samsung Electronics has been and continues to be our primary supplier of the video security products that we distribute. In October 2006, we entered into a new agreement with Samsung under which we have been granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in North, Central and South America through December 31, 2010. Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in these territories.
 
In order to serve our customers with timely delivery and after sales service, we operate sales and distribution centers in Dallas, Texas, Mexico City, Mexico, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Bogotá, Colombia. We also operate a customer call center in Dallas Texas.
 
Corporate History
 
We were incorporated in Delaware in August 1996 as Thinking Tools, Inc. and initially engaged in developing and marketing business simulation software. In April 1999, we eliminated substantially all of our operations and terminated substantially all of our personnel. In March 2000, we acquired the business of an Internet software and service provider. This business did not generate sufficient revenues to support our operations and was discontinued in December 2000.
 
 From December 2000 until February 20, 2004, we had no active business. On February 20, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, GVI Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, GVI Security Acquisition Corp., becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, and on April 12, 2004, we changed our name to GVI Security Solutions, Inc.
 
 On October 6, 2006, we completed a $5 million private placement, consisting of 100 Units at a price of $50,000 per unit. Each Unit consisted of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock and a 6% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $45,000, convertible into 11,250,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $.004. On November 27, 2006, we effected a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Common Stock, and all of the Convertible Notes (including approximately $40,460 of accrued interest) were converted to Common Stock. After giving effect to the reverse split and the conversion, we had outstanding 26,392,834 shares of Common Stock, of which 25,202,314 were issued to the purchasers of the Units (2,500,000 on the closing of the October 2006 private placement and 22,702,314 upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in November 2006).
 
19

 
On January 22, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 1,713,334 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share for aggregate gross consideration of $1,028,000. The proceeds from the January private placement were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
Security Systems Markets
 
According to a recent industry report, the combined market for the world video surveillance market totaled approximately $5.5 billion in 2006, and is estimated to grow to approximately $8.1 billion by the year 2010. The Americas market represents approximately 40% of the worldwide market.  According to this report, the global security market is expected to continue to grow at an average annual rate in excess of 10%, with the primary components of this growth being electronic integrated security systems. We believe that video surveillance products represent the largest components of a typical integrated security system. The industry continues to see significant growth throughout the world fueled by increased fear of terrorism and crime, heightened expectation of safety in public places and institutions, and higher expectations of performance, reliability and architectural appeal.
 
 Video surveillance has undergone significant changes over the last few years, from the introduction of affordable digital cameras to the birth of digital recording. Cost effective digital video recorders (DVR) have enabled a shift from human surveillance to more sophisticated computer-driven surveillance that utilizes archiving, data mining and artificial intelligence with predictive behavior algorithms. A DVR is a computer with special interface cards that accepts camera input and converts video signals to digital data and stores this data on the hard disk drive of the computer. The benefits of the DVR are its capacity to store large volumes of data, the clarity of its pictures, the lack of distortion of images and its capability to perform rapid searches based upon certain pre-defined parameters. We believe that over the next few years we will see a full shift in the video surveillance segment of the electronic security systems industry from analog to digital equipment.
 
Strategies
 
Our objective is to provide our customers and partners with a wide range of security products designed to install, operate and service with relative ease while meeting the needs of the end user. Our goal is to provide our customers with excellent service and superior technology at competitive prices.
 
 We believe that by delivering the highest levels of customer service along with effective solutions for the markets that we address, we can strengthen our reputation as a reliable and cost-effective provider in the electronic security systems industry and develop customer loyalty. We strive to anticipate and meet our customers’ needs by increasing the range of products and services we offer, by entering into new business alliances and by pursuing acquisitions of complementary businesses enabling us to offer new products and services. Our goals include further developing our expertise and products in the security video sector, as well as developing other security or ancillary products to supplement and complement our existing product line. However, there can be no assurance that we will consummate any additional acquisitions or that any business we acquire will be successful. In addition, the acquisition of a business through the issuance of our securities will result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
 
Products and Services
 
We are committed to setting new standards in quality, performance and value by providing highly functional and competitive integrated security products. We offer a range of video surveillance and security systems to our customers, including products that can be used on a stand-alone basis or that can be integrated into a larger more sophisticated security system. We serve the import, support, marketing, inventory, warranty and distribution needs of our customers.
 
Products
 
Our objective is to provide complete security solutions for our customers by providing a suite of fully-integrated products. We sell the following products separately and as part of our fully integrated suite of video surveillance and integrated security solutions:
 
 
·
a full line of video surveillance cameras, which include features like motion detection, low light day/night compatibility and high resolution, all with systems integration capabilities
 
20

 
 
·
a range of vandal proof, water and weather resistant cameras and environmental housings
 
 
·
high speed PTZ dome cameras
 
 
·
a complete range of lenses
 
 
·
a full range of LCD, flat screen and CRT monitors
 
 
·
VCR’s and digital video recorders (DVR’s)
 
 
·
ATM and retail POS (point of service) point of service transaction verification software
 
 
·
video transmission equipment
 
 
·
digital processors (quads and multiplexers), switchers
 
 
·
video management systems and recording software
 
We rely on original equipment manufacturer relationships for a number of our standard products. In some instances, we purchase products that meet our specifications from a manufacturer and distribute these products under the GVI TM label. When assembly of our products is required, it is done in our Dallas, Texas facility.
 
Customer Support
 
We believe that our ability to establish and maintain long-term relationships with our customers and differentiate ourselves from the competition depends significantly on the strength of our customer support operations and staff. We operate customer support centers in Dallas, Texas, Mexico City, Mexico, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Bogota, Colombia and also utilize a number of independent service providers in the other territories that we service.
 
Distribution and Marketing
 
We offer our products and services through local, regional and national system integrators and distributors who resell our products to professional security providers. System integrators utilize our products to develop and install a fully integrated security suite for end users. We also utilize regional sales executives and independent sales representatives to sell our products to our customers. 
 
Competition
 
The electronic security systems industry is highly competitive and has become more so over the last several years as security issues and concerns have become a primary consideration at both government and private facilities worldwide. Competition is intense among a wide range and fragmented group of product and service providers, including electronic security equipment manufacturers, distributors, providers of integrated security systems, systems integrators, and others that provide competitive systems or individual elements of a system.
 
We believe that the range of our product and service offerings and our distribution channels enable us to compete favorably in the market for the security products and services that we offer. However, some of our competitors have greater name recognition, longer operational histories and greater financial, marketing and managerial resources than we do.
 
The key factors which drive competition in the video surveillance and security industry are product availability, quality, product performance, ease of integration and customer service, price, and support. There are a number of manufacturers and distributors of video security products. We believe that we have distinguished ourselves in this market by providing our customers with superior levels of customer service. Our main competitors are Pelco, Sony, Panasonic and Speco Technologies, among many others.
21



In addition, Samsung Techwin, a company distinct from Samsung Electronics but related through common ownership, manufactures electronic security products that are competitive with the Samsung Electronics products we sell. Samsung Techwin distributes its products in the United States through Samsung 360, a competitor of ours. 
 
Strategic Vendor Relationship
 
Historically, Samsung Electronics has been our primary supplier for the security products that we distribute. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 65%, 67% and 50%, respectively, of our revenues (excluding revenues from discontinued operations), were attributable to products manufactured by Samsung.
 
Under our prior agreement with Samsung, we had the exclusive right to sell Samsung products in the Professional Channel and the exclusive right to sell its products in the Retail Channel to a major national retailer. Our exclusive right to sell Samsung products to the major national retailer expired on December 31, 2005, and Samsung terminated the remaining portion of its previous agreement with us in January 2006. Samsung was entitled to terminate that agreement because we did not purchase the minimum amounts required to be purchased thereunder during the 2005 calendar year. Following the termination of our prior agreement with Samsung, our Board of Directors approved the discontinuation of sales to the Retail Channel.
 
On October 2, 2006, we entered into a new Distributorship Agreement with Samsung under which we have been granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in the “Territory” comprising North, Central and South America through December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Distributorship Agreement, Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in the Territory. The Distributorship Agreement provides for minimum annual purchase amounts of $27 million and $32.4 million for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Samsung may terminate the Distributorship Agreement at any time if we do not purchase those annual amounts, as well as upon a breach of our other obligations thereunder. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we purchased approximately $28.0 million under the Distributorship Agreement with Samsung, meeting our minimum purchase obligations for that year.
 
We are also a party to distribution arrangements with other high technology manufacturers who supply us with other products that complement the Samsung offering of video security products.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We have several registered trademarks for “GVI” in connection with the products we sell.
 
Employees
 
As of May 31, 2008, we had approximately 53 full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are subject to collective-bargaining agreements. We believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees.

Properties

We currently lease approximately 58,850 square feet of office and warehouse space in Carrollton, Texas under a lease agreement which expires in September 2009. In the opinion of our management, the leased properties are adequately insured. Our existing properties are in good condition and suitable for the conduct of our business.

Legal Proceedings

We are not party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Employment Contracts; Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements
 
Employment Agreement with Chief Executive Officer
 
We entered into an Employment Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2006, with Steven Walin, our Chief Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement was amended on January 8, 2008, to extend the term thereof to December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Walin receives an annual base salary of $375,000.
 
25


Pursuant to his Employment Agreement, Mr. Walin is entitled to receive an annual bonus of up to 50% of his base salary based on the achievement of annual performance targets approved of by our board of directors, for subsequent years.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Employment Agreement, in the event that Mr. Walin’s employment is terminated by us without “Cause” or by Mr. Walin for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Walin will be entitled to:
 
 
·
payment of all accrued but unpaid base salary, his signing bonus (to the extent then unpaid), and unpaid annual bonus with respect to any completed fiscal year;
 
 
·
payment of his base salary and continued medical benefits for 18 months; provided, that if such termination occurs after a “Change in Control” Mr. Walin will instead be entitled to a payment equal to 200% of his base salary and continued medical benefits for 24 months;
 
 
·
pro-rated bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, payable following such fiscal year to the extent he would have otherwise been entitled to such bonus; and
 
 
·
provided at least six months has expired since the last vesting of an option grant, a pro rata vesting of his option shares which are scheduled to vest on the next vesting date; provided, that if such termination occurs after a “Change in Control” or after the first anniversary of Mr. Walin’s employment with us, all of the unvested options will immediately vest.
 
If Mr. Walin’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, we will pay him his accrued but unpaid base salary, unpaid annual bonus with respect to any completed fiscal year, and a pro-rated portion of any bonus he would have otherwise been entitled for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs.

Mr. Walin is prohibited under the Employment Agreement from using or disclosing any of our proprietary information, competing with us, hiring any of our employees or consultants and soliciting any of our customers or suppliers to reduce or cease business with us.

Employment Agreement with Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer

The Employment Agreement provides Mr. Restivo with an annual base salary of $250,000, and an annual bonus of up to 50% of his base salary based on the achievement of annual performance targets approved of by our board of directors.

A cash payment of $75,000 on an after-tax basis to cover his relocation expenses.

Non-employee Directors
 
On December 6, 2006, our Board of Directors approved compensation arrangements for non-employee directors under which each of our non-employee directors are entitled to receive a monthly cash payment of $2,500. David Weiner and Craig Ellins waived their rights to receive these payments through December 2007. Our directors are also reimbursed for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.
 
27


On February 14, 2007 we granted three directors ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.60 per share. One quarter of these options vested immediately, with the remaining options vesting ratably in 12 quarterly installments over a three year period that commenced April 1, 2007.

The value of option awards granted to directors has been estimated pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R) based on our expense during 2007 for the options described in the footnotes below, except that for purposes of this table, we have assumed that none of the options will be forfeited. The directors will not realize the estimated value of these awards in cash until these awards are vested and exercised or sold.

Stock Option Plan
 
In March 2004, our stockholders approved our 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, reserving 118,798 (after giving effect to a subsequent one-for-65 reverse split) shares of our Common Stock for issuance thereunder. Pursuant to amendments to the Plan approved by our stockholders, and after giving effect to our recent one-for-50 reverse split, we are authorized to issue up to 5,900,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of options and other awards to our employees, officers, directors and consultants. The Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to issue incentive stock options (“ISOs”) as defined in Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, stock options that do not conform to the requirements of that Code section (“Non-ISOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, stock awards and other stock based awards. Directors who are not employees of the Company may only be granted Non-ISOs.
 
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has the authority to select those employees, officers, directors and consultants whose performance it determines significantly promotes the Company’s success to receive discretionary awards under the Plan, grant the awards, interpret and determine all questions of policy with respect thereto and adopt rules, regulations, agreements and instruments deemed necessary for its proper administration.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of Common Stock on behalf of the selling stockholders. As used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the pledges, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling stockholders’ interests. We have agreed to pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but the selling stockholders will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares, including attorneys’ fees.
 
The stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;
 
 
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
settlement of short sales;
 
 
broker-dealers may agree with the stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
 
32


The stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 203,000,000 shares, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our board of directors may designate the rights and preferences of additional series of preferred stock. Preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a way to discourage, delay or prevent a takeover of the Company. See “Anti-Takeover Provisions.” As of June 2, 2008, we had 28,147,106 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock
 
Under our Certificate of Incorporation, shares of our Common Stock are identical in all respects, and each share entitles the holder to the same rights and privileges as are enjoyed by other holders and is subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions as apply to other shares.

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, subject to voting rights of holders of any preferred stock that may be issued, holders of a plurality of our Common Stock present at a meeting at which a quorum is present are able to elect all of the directors eligible for election. The holders of a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock constitutes a quorum.
 
The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to dividends when and if declared by our board of directors from legally available funds. The holders of our Common Stock are also entitled to share pro rata in any distribution to stockholders upon the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.

None of the shares of our Common Stock:
 
 
·
have preemptive rights;
 
 
·
are redeemable;
 
 
·
are subject to assessments or further calls;
 
 
·
have conversion rights; or
 
 
·
have sinking fund provisions.
 
33


Preferred Stock

We are currently authorized to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may determine the terms of additional series of preferred stock at the time of issuance without action by our stockholders. The terms of any issuance of preferred stock may include:
 
 
·
voting rights, including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, which could be superior to those of our Common Stock;
 
 
·
preferences over our Common Stock as to dividends and distributions in liquidation;
 
 
·
conversion and redemption rights, including the right to convert into shares of our Common Stock; and
 
 
·
sinking fund provisions.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain anti-takeover provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation may make a change in control of the Company more difficult, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. In particular, our board of directors will be able to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights and privileges that might be senior to our Common Stock, without the consent of the holders of our Common Stock, and has the authority to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock. Although the ability to issue preferred stock may provide us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, this issuance may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Transfer Agent
 
The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, located at 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10002. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company’s telephone number is (212) 509-4000.

  COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 
·
for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;
 
 
·
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;
 
 
·
under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

 
·
for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.
 
These provisions require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers unless restricted by Delaware law and eliminate the Company’s rights and those of its stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect the Company’s ability or that of its stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

GVI Security Solutions, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 ~ SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

GVI Security Solutions (“GVI” or “Company”) provides video surveillance and security solutions products, incorporating a complete line of video surveillance and detection systems, to the homeland security, professional and business-to-business market segments. The Company provides a strong combination of closed circuit televisions (CCTVs), digital video recorders (DVRs), software systems and networking products that enhance life safety for both government agencies and the private sector.
 
The Company’s customers include distributors and system integrators that specialize in video surveillance and security products and services, government agencies and private sector businesses.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GVI Security Solutions, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GVI Security, Inc. and Rapor, Inc. (which was legally dissolved in December 2007). All material intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from sales of its products. The Company recognizes revenue when the sales process is deemed complete and associated revenue has been earned. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when products have been shipped, risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, the selling price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Net sales is comprised of gross revenue less expected returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. Related incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

The Company allows customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in its sales terms and conditions. It is the Company’s practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. The Company records estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount the Company expects to realize upon its subsequent disposition. The Company considers the physical condition and marketability of the returned products as major factors in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as realized values on returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from Company estimates if factors such as customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from estimates and expectations and, in the case of actual returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from Company estimates and expectations.

At the time revenue is recognized, the Company also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given from a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” Such incentive programs include cash and volume discounts, price protection, promotional, cooperative and other advertising allowances. For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates, the Company uses historical experience and internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time the revenue is recognized. In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, adjustment to the sales incentive accruals would be recorded.
 
F-5


Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consists of goods held for resale and parts used for repair work. Reserves are recorded for slow-moving, obsolete, nonsaleable or unusable items based upon a product-level review, in order to reflect inventory balances at their net realizable value. Inventory reserve balances at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were approximately $2,354,000 and $2,346,000, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Certain advertising costs, which included various promotional incentives and trade show participation, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were reimbursed by Samsung in the form of marketing incentives and partial reimbursement for trade show participation. Advertising costs, net of reimbursements, during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $46,000 and $32,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
 
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal date of temporary differences not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Also, a valuation allowance is used, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized in the future based on available evidence.

Credit Risk Concentration
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, two customers accounted for $2,436,000 (21%) and $1,553,000 (14%), respectively, of the Company’s continuing sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, two customers accounted for $2,164,000 (20%) and $1,847,000 million (17%), respectively, of the Company’s continuing sales. As of March 31, 2008, the two significant customers noted above for the three months then ended comprised $985,000 (12%) and $1,772,000 (22%), respectively, of Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2007, the two significant customers comprised $1,513,000 (19%) and $1,248,000 (16%), respectively, of Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable balance.

International sales accounted for approximately 31%, and 29% of the Company's sales during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All international sales took place in Latin America and Canada.
 
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral from them. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those that relate to the valuation of inventory, accounts receivable, certain accruals and liabilities and the useful lives of property and equipment
 
Earnings per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share", requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Options and warrants to purchase approximately 149,000 and 435,000 shares,respectively, of common stock at various prices exceeding $0.89 per share were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2008 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for this period because the respective options' and warrant exercise price were greater than the average market price of the common shares during this period, and their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Options and warrants to purchase approximately 49,000 and 134,000 shares,respectively, of common stock at various prices exceeding $15.00 per share were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2007 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for this period because the respective options' and warrant exercise price were greater than the average market price of the common shares during this period, and their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
 The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF No. 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of warrants and option awards with the following weighted average assumptions for the period indicated:

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No.157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

F-7


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities*an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that 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 within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; 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; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 2 ~ CREDIT FACILITY

On November 20, 2007, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association under which the Company was provided with a $15 million revolving credit facility. Aggregate amounts outstanding under the line of credit at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were approximately $11.8 million and $10.3 million respectively. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by all of the Company’s assets. Upon closing, the Company paid Wells Fargo an origination fee of $37,500. The Company also pays Wells Fargo an annual fee equal to .25% of the average daily unused portion of the Facility. Outstanding loans under the credit facility will become due on November 20, 2010.
 
Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, among other things:
 
 
·
Interest accrues on outstanding loans under the credit facility, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate from time to time in effect (5.25% at March 31, 2008) plus .75% percent, or a LIBOR rate selected by us, plus 3.25%.

 
·
In the event the Company achieves Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of $1,000,000 in the year ending December 31, 2008, the interest rate under the credit facility will be prospectively reduced by .50% per annum.

 
·
Aggregate loans (plus the face amount of letters of credit) outstanding under the credit facility at any time may not exceed the lesser of $15 million or a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of “Eligible Accounts” plus the lesser of (i) 60% of “Eligible Inventory” (valued at the lower of cost or market), (ii) 85% of the “Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory,” and (iii) $8.5 million. In comparison, our Laurus borrowings could not exceed $10 million, with inventory based borrowings limited to $3.5 million. As of March 31, 2008, the Company’s borrowing base supported approximately $14.3 million of borrowings, under the line of credit agreement, of which approximately $11.8 million was outstanding.

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability approach, whereby deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the benefit of net operating loss carry forwards.

The Company incurred significant operating losses during the three years prior to 2007, which generated net operating loss carry-forwards which may be available for future utilization. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss and other credit carry-forwards when an ownership change, as defined by the tax law, occurs. Generally, this occurs when a greater than 50 percentage point change in ownership occurs. In October 2006, as a result of the completion of the Company’s private placement transaction, the investors in the private placement as a group became the beneficial owners of approximately 96% of the Company’s outstanding shares, after consideration of the conversion of convertible promissory notes issued to those investors in conjunction with the transaction. Accordingly, the actual utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets for tax purposes will be limited annually under Code Section 382 to a percentage of the fair market value of the Company at the date of this ownership change, and this effect has reduced the amount of these loss carry-forwards which the Company will be able to utilize to offset against future taxable income. As a result, at December 31, 2007, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $4.0 million expiring 2026. Approximately $2.4 million of the federal net operating loss carry-forward is available for utilization in 2008. The remaining $1.6 million can be utilized at a rate of approximately $89,000 annually over the following 18 years ending 2026. In addition, the Company has State net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1.7 million which expire 2025. A valuation allowance has been provided against the net deferred tax assets available after the year ending December 31, 2008, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate long-term taxable income. The Company expects to reduce its valuation allowance if and when it believes that it is more likely than not that it will be realized.

F-9


Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) —an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of March 31, 2008, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for five years after 2002. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination.
 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 5 ~ COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

General

Sales to certain consumers of video surveillance and other security products may be subject to sales tax requirements and possible audits by state taxing authorities. The Company records its estimated sales tax liability and includes that amount as an accrued obligation until paid.

The Company is also party to other disputes in the normal course of business. Management believes the ultimate resolution of such disputes will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Lease and Rents

The Company leases warehouse and office space under an operating lease agreement which expires on September 30, 2009. Under the terms of the lease, the Company paid no rent for six months, and then pays monthly rent of $25,704 for the remainder of the sixty-six month lease. The Company records rent on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and records the difference between amounts paid and expense recorded as a deferred lease liability.

The minimum annual rentals under the non-cancelable lease for the periods subsequent to March 31, 2008 are as follows ($ in thousands):

Vendor Agreement

On October 2, 2006, the Company entered into a new Product Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with Samsung, under which the Company was granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in North, Central and South America (“Territory”) through December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Agreement, Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in the Territory. The Agreement also provides for minimum annual purchase amounts of $21 million, $27 million, $32.4 million, $38.9 million, and $46.7 million for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively, and allows Samsung to terminate the Agreement at any time if the Company does not achieve the annual minimum purchase amounts, as well as upon the Company’s breach of any of its other obligations thereunder. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, the Company exceeded its minimum purchasing commitment under the agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, the Company purchased approximately $21.3 million and $28 million, respectively under the Distributorship Agreement with Samsung. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Company purchased approximately $8.3 million under the Distributorship Agreement with Samsung.
 
F-10


Samsung has established a credit limit under which the Company purchases products. During the year ended 2007, the limit was approximately $6.5 million. In January 2008, the limit was increased to approximately $10 million. The Company must pay in advance of shipment when the credit limit has been met or exceeded. As of March 31, 2008, $7.7 million was due to Samsung under this agreement.
 
NOTE 6 ~ 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

In February 2004, the Company adopted its 2004 Long-Term Stock Plan and reserved up to 118,798 shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. In June 2006 the shares available under this Plan increased from 118,798 to 200,000, and in October 2006 the shares available were increased under this Plan to 5,900,000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
GVI Security Solutions, Inc.
Carrollton, Texas

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of GVI Security Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 consolidated financial position of GVI Security Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GVI Security Solutions, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

NOTE 1 ~ SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

GVI Security Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” and/or “GVI”) was incorporated in August 1996 as Thinking Tools, Inc. and was originally engaged in the software development business. From December 18, 2000 until February 20, 2004, Thinking Tools, Inc. had no active business. On February 20, 2004, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, Thinking Tools, Inc. acquired all of the stock of GVI Security, Inc. in a merger, and the business of GVI Security, Inc. became the business of Thinking Tools, Inc. For accounting purposes, GVI Security, Inc. was treated as the acquiror in the merger, which was treated as a recapitalization of GVI Security, Inc., and the pre-merger financial statements of GVI Security, Inc. became the Company’s historical financial statements. On April 12, 2004, Thinking Tools changed its name to GVI Security Solutions, Inc.

All share and per share amounts herein have been given retroactive effect to the 1-for-50 reverse stock split effected November 2006. See Note 8 for 2006 Private Placement transaction.  

Nature of Business

The Company provides video surveillance security solutions that are deployed in the commercial and homeland security market segments. Products are sold primarily to distributors and system integrators that specialize in providing security products and services to these business segments.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GVI Security Solutions, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GVI Security, Inc. and Rapor, Inc. (which was legally dissolved in December 2007). All material intercompany transactions, balances and profits have been eliminated.

Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2006, the Company’s board approved a plan to discontinue its Retail Channel business. This business is accounted for as discontinued operations and, accordingly, its operations are segregated in the accompanying financial statements. In connection with the discontinuance of the Retail Channel business for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company wrote down assets identified with the retail business by approximately $2.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, to net realizable value. The write down to net realizable value was based on management’s best estimates of the amounts expected to be realized on the disposition of all related assets and liabilities held for disposition from the discontinued operations. The results of the discontinued operations do not include any allocation of corporate overhead during the periods presented.

On September 13, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with its former distributor to the retail channel, whereby the Company transferred to this distributor substantially all of its remaining retail inventory in exchange for the termination of the parties’ respective remaining obligations under its previous alliance agreement. The Company wrote off all remaining net assets associated with the Retail Channel business, and accrued a reserve of $400,000 for estimated remaining obligations existing at December 31, 2006.

In 2007, the Company paid approximately $168,000 to satisfy all remaining obligations associated with the Retail Channel business, and recognized the difference of $232,000 as income from discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from sales of its products. The Company recognizes revenue when the sales process is deemed complete and associated revenue has been earned. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when products have been shipped, risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, the selling price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Net sales is comprised of gross revenue less expected returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions. Related incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.

The Company allows customers to return defective products when they meet certain established criteria as outlined in its sales terms and conditions. It is the Company’s practice to regularly review and revise, when deemed necessary, its estimates of sales returns, which are based primarily on actual historical return rates. The Company records estimated sales returns as reductions to sales, cost of sales, and accounts receivable and an increase to inventory. Returned products which are recorded as inventory are valued based upon the amount the Company expects to realize upon its subsequent disposition. The Company considers the physical condition and marketability of the returned products as major factors in estimating realizable value. Actual returns, as well as realized values on returned products, may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from Company estimates if factors such as customer inventory levels or competitive conditions differ from estimates and expectations and, in the case of actual returns, if economic conditions differ significantly from Company estimates and expectations.

At the time revenue is recognized, the Company also records reductions to revenue for customer incentive programs in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given from a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” Such incentive programs include cash and volume discounts, price protection, promotional, cooperative and other advertising allowances. For those incentives that require the estimation of sales volumes or redemption rates, such as for volume rebates, the Company uses historical experience and internal and customer data to estimate the sales incentive at the time the revenue is recognized. In the event that the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, adjustment to the sales incentive accruals would be recorded.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Trade receivables are presented on the balance sheet as outstanding amounts adjusted for any allowance for bad debts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful receivables based primarily on historical loss experience. Additional amounts are provided through charges to income, as management feels necessary, after evaluation of receivables and current economic conditions. Amounts which are considered to be uncollectible are charged off and recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance upon recovery.
 
Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and consists of goods held for resale and parts used for repair work. Reserves are recorded for slow-moving, obsolete, nonsaleable or unusable items based upon a product-level review, in order to reflect inventory balances at their net realizable value. Inventory reserve balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $2,346,000 and $2,541,000, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets,” effective January 1, 2005.  The Company reviews for impairment annually. When impairment indicators are present, the Company reviews the carrying value of its assets in determining the ultimate recoverability of their unamortized values using analyses of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeded its fair value.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Based upon its annual review, management determined that there were no indicators of impairment for its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2007.

F-19


Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (SFAS 142) effective January 1, 2005. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment using the guidance for measuring impairment set forth in this statement.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, management concluded that the Rapor product line no longer fit the Company’s existing distribution channels and market strategy and, accordingly, recorded impairment costs of approximately $977,000 resulting from the write-off of goodwill of approximately $544,000, and the write-off of the remaining net book value of the trademark and technology associated with Rapor products totaling approximately $433,000, as prescribed under SFAS 142. No such impairment expense was recorded for the year ending December 31, 2007. The company reviews its goodwill and intangibles annually for impairment or sooner if indications of impairment are noted.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost net of depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are fully depreciated, or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is credited or charged to income.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs related to product sales and fulfillment are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling costs related to purchases are included in the cost of inventory, and charged to cost of goods sold when sold to customers.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Certain advertising costs, which included various promotional incentives and trade show participation, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were reimbursed by Samsung in the form of marketing incentives and partial reimbursement for trade show participation. Advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $477,000 and $815,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal date of temporary differences not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Also, a valuation allowance is used, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized in the future based on available evidence.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” effective January 1, 2006, and is using the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remained unvested on the effective date. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” under which the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" requires presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 because the Company incurred a loss during such period and thus their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same for year ended December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding warrants and stock options to acquire an aggregate of 7,508,519 shares of Common Stock. The income generated by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2007 led to the Company including an additional 5,550,579 shares as dilutive for Diluted EPS calculations. These dilutive shares consisted of outstanding warrants and stock options that were issued at a price below the average market price of the stock for the year ended December 31, 2007. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding warrants and stock options to acquire an aggregate of 8,221,810 shares.

Credit Risk Concentration
 
At December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 19% and 16% respectively of the Company’s receivables balances. At December 31, 2006, three customers accounted for 20%, 18%, and 12% respectively of the Company’s receivables balances. During the year ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 20% and 18% respectively of the Company’s sales. During the year ended December 31, 2006, three customers accounted for 16%, 14% and 10% respectively of the Company’s continuing sales.

International sales accounted for approximately 29% and 30% of the Company's sales during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. All international sales took place in Latin America.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral from them. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 
·
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

F-21


 
·
Notes payable and capitalized lease obligations - Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Corporation for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates the carrying value shown on our balance sheet.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those that relate to the valuation of inventory, accounts receivable, certain accruals and liabilities and the useful lives of property and equipment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159, which becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations” (FAS 141(R)), which establishes accounting principles and disclosure requirements for all transactions in which a company obtains control over another business. Statement 141 (R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require that 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 within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity; 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; and changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 also requires that any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160 also sets forth the disclosure requirements to identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 must be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively for all periods presented.
 
The Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 2 ~ ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable, net, at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consists of trade receivables from customers, less allowances for doubtful accounts, estimated future returns and customer rebates and credits.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivables based primarily on historical loss experience. Additional amounts are provided through charges to income, as management feels necessary, after evaluation of receivables and current economic conditions. Amounts which are considered to be uncollectible are charged off and recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance upon recovery.

Allowance for doubtful accounts activity during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

(A) On November 20, 2007, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association under which the Company was provided with a $15 million revolving credit facility. On November 21, 2007, the Company borrowed approximately $10.3 million under the credit facility, using approximately $8.6 million of the proceeds to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness owed to Laurus Master Fund. Aggregate amounts outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2007 were approximately $10.3 million. In addition the Company used $1.7 million of the initial loan proceeds to increase its working capital. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by all of the Company’s assets. Upon closing, the Company paid Wells Fargo an origination fee of $37,500. The Company also pays Wells Fargo an annual fee equal to .25% of the average daily unused portion of the Facility. Outstanding loans under the credit facility will become due on November 20, 2010.

F-23

 
Pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, among other things:
 
 
·
Interest accrues on outstanding loans under the credit facility, at our option, at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate from time to time in effect (6.5% at December 31, 2007) plus .75% percent, or a LIBOR rate selected by us, plus 3.25%. In comparison, Laurus borrowings bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate plus two percent.

 
·
In the event the Company achieves Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreement), of $1,000,000 in the year ending December 31, 2008, the interest rate under the credit facility will be prospectively reduced by .50% per annum.

 
·
Aggregate loans (plus the face amount of letters of credit) outstanding under the credit facility at any time may not exceed the lesser of $15 million or a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of “Eligible Accounts” plus the lesser of (i) 60% of “Eligible Inventory” (valued at the lower of cost or market), (ii) 85% of the “Net Orderly Liquidation Value of Eligible Inventory,” and (iii) $8.5 million. In comparison, our Laurus borrowings could not exceed $10 million, with inventory based borrowings limited to $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s borrowing base supported approximately $13.9 million of borrowings, under the line of credit agreement, of which approximately $10.3 million was outstanding.

 
·
The Company will be required to pay a prepayment fee to Wells Fargo if the credit facility is terminated prior to maturity. Such fee ranges from $300,000 if the credit facility is terminated prior to November 20, 2008, to $37,500 if the credit facility is terminated after November 20, 2009 but prior to the maturity date.

 
·
The Company is required to comply with a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Among other things, these covenants restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends, requires the Company to achieve minimum quarterly Net Income as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and requires the Company to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each quarter of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
 
(B) On May 27, 2004, the Company closed a $15 million convertible debt financing with Laurus under which the Company was provided with a $5 million term loan and a $10 million revolving credit facility. As part of the transaction, Laurus was also issued a seven-year warrant to purchase 18,800 shares of Common Stock at a price of $175 per share The Company also issued a similar warrant to purchase 1,880 shares of Common Stock to the finder. These warrants were valued at $112,000 using a Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumptions used in the model were (i) risk free interest rate of 6%, (ii) expected life of 7 years, (iii) expected volatility of 70% and (iv) no anticipated dividends. Borrowings under the Laurus financing are secured by all assets of the Company.
 
The loan documents with Laurus required the Company’s Common Stock to be quoted on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board by July 27, 2004, which date was extended to September 27, 2004 and further extended to December 31, 2004. In consideration for extending the deadlines, the Company issued Laurus additional seven-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $175 per share. The fair value of these warrants at date of issue was determined to be approximately $20,000 using a Black-Scholes pricing model, and were charged to expense during the year ended December 31, 2004. The assumptions used in the model were (i) risk free interest rate of 6%, (ii) expected life of 7 years, (iii) expected volatility of 70% and (iv) no anticipated dividends. The Company’s Common Stock began being quoted on the NASD Over the Counter Bulletin Board on December 13, 2004.

F-24


The term loan was evidenced by a Secured Convertible Term Note (“Term Note”) and bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal), plus two percent, subject to a floor of six percent. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate plus two percent. Borrowings outstanding under the line of credit were approximately $6.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The line of credit was paid off on November 21, 2007 with proceeds from the Wells Fargo Facility.

Pursuant to an amendment, dated as of May 26, 2006, between the Company and Laurus, (i) payments of principal due to Laurus for the months of June 2006 through December 2006 under the Term Note were reduced from $190,000 per month to $100,000 per month, (ii) the final payment of principal due to Laurus under the Term Note on May 27, 2007 was correspondingly increased from $435,000 to $1,065,000, and (iii) the exercise price of warrants previously issued to Laurus to purchase an aggregate of 26,800 shares of the Company’s Common Stock was reduced from $175.00 to $30.00. Pursuant to a further Amendment, dated as of June 22, 2006, the conversion price of $300,000 of principal under the Term Note was reduced to $7.50 from $95.50, and Laurus converted such amount of principal into 40,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The principal so converted was applied to the payments of principal that would otherwise have been due under the Term Note for the months of July, August and September 2006. As a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants, the Company recorded an interest charge of approximately $76,000 in the second quarter of 2006. In addition, the Company also recorded a charge of approximately $20,000 from the reduction of the conversion price of $300,000 of convertible term debt principal in June 2006.

The Company incurred and capitalized origination fees associated with the Wells Fargo credit facility of approximately $97,000. These fees are amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the initial term of the loan of three years.

The Company incurred and capitalized origination and finders fees associated with the Laurus credit facility of approximately $1.8 million. These fees were amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the initial term of the loan of three years. Included in the capitalized origination fees is compensation of approximately $112,000 relating to the issuance of warrants to purchase 20,680 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These fees were fully amortized in May 2007.

As noted in Note 8, in conjunction with its private placement transaction in October 2006 the Company recorded loan origination fees of approximately $47,000 to reflect the fair value of a warrant to purchase 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock issued to a shareholder for services in connection with the private placement transaction. These non-cash expenses were initially amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the underlying subordinated convertible notes of three years. In November 2006, the private placement investors exercised the conversion feature of the subordinated convertible notes, at which time the remaining unamortized balance of the related loan origination fees were immediately charged to income.

NOTE 6 ~ CAPITALIZED LEASES

The Company has entered into separate capital lease obligations in conjunction with the acquisition of warehouse racking and office furniture. These assets have original capitalized values of $519,000, and have payment terms ranging from 48 to 60 months.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable capital lease obligations at December 31, 2007 were as follows:

The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability approach, whereby deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the benefit of net operating loss carry forwards.

The Company incurred significant operating losses during the three years prior to 2007, which generated net operating loss carry-forwards which may be available for future utilization. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the utilization of Federal net operating loss and other credit carry-forwards when an ownership change, as defined by the tax law, occurs. Generally, this occurs when a greater than 50 percentage point change in ownership occurs. In October 2006, as a result of the completion of the Company’s private placement transaction, the investors in the private placement as a group became the beneficial owners of approximately 96% of the Company’s outstanding shares, after consideration of the conversion of convertible promissory notes issued to those investors in conjunction with the transaction. Accordingly, the actual utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards and other deferred tax assets for tax purposes will be limited annually under Code Section 382 to a percentage of the fair market value of the Company at the date of this ownership change, and this effect has reduced the amount of these loss carry-forwards which the Company will be able to utilize to offset against future taxable income. As a result, at December 31, 2007, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $4.0 million expiring 2026. Approximately $2.4 million of the federal net operating loss carry-forward is available for utilization in 2008. The remaining $1.6 million can be utilized at a rate of approximately $89,000 annually over the following 18 years ending 2026. In addition, the company has State net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1.7 million which expire 2025. A valuation allowance has been provided against the net deferred tax assets available after the year ending December 31, 2008, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to generate long-term taxable income. The company expects to reduce its valuation allowance if and when it believes that it is more likely than not that it will be realized.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) —an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. At the date of adoption, and as of December 31, 2007, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for five years after 2002. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs and tax credit carry forwards may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination.
 
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 8 ~ STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

January 2007 Private Placement
 
On January 22, 2007, the Company completed a private placement of 1,713,334 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share for aggregate gross consideration of $1,028,000. The proceeds from the January private placement were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
October 2006 Private Placement
 
On October 6, 2006, the Company completed a $5 million private placement (excluding closing costs of $100,000), consisting of 100 Units at a price of $50,000 per unit. Each Unit consisted of 25,000 shares of Common Stock and a 6% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Notes”) in the principal amount of $45,000, convertible into 225,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $.20. As a result, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock for $400,000 (net of closing costs of $100,000) and Convertible Notes in the aggregate principle amount of $4,500,000 convertible into 22,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company could repay the Convertible Notes at maturity through the issuance of common stock, so long as the market price of the common stock was no less than 150% of the conversion price at maturity. The Convertible Notes could not be converted into common stock until the Company could amend its certification of incorporation effecting a reverse stock split providing for a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to permit such conversion. On November 27, 2006, the Company effected a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Common Stock, and all of the Convertible Notes (including $40,463 of accrued interest) were converted to Common Stock.
 
The conversion price of the Convertible Notes was less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the issuance of the Convertible Notes. In accordance with EITF 98-5 the Company recognized a debt discount of $4.5 million associated with the beneficial conversion feature of the Convertible Notes. The entire debt discount was recognized by the Company on November 27, 2006, the date on which the Company’s 50-for-1 reverse split was effected and the Notes became ultimately convertible.
 
As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $.20 per share to a consultant that became a director. As a result of this agreement, the Company recorded deferred loan origination fees equal to the fair value of the warrant totaling $46,875.
 
 Other Equity Transactions
 
On February 14, 2007, the Company granted to three directors options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock. These options provide for an exercise price of $.60 per share over a 10 year life. 25% of each director’s options vest immediately, with the remaining 75,000 options vesting ratably in 12 installments of 6,250 each on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Company commencing April 1, 2007.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 40,000 shares of common stock to directors valued at $52,000. The shares were valued at the market price at the date of issuance.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 15,000 shares of common stock to its former distributor to the retail channel upon achievement of a contractual sales milestone. The shares were valued at $157,500, the market price at the date of issuance.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 25,000 shares of common stock for services valued at $23,250. The shares were valued at the market price at the date of issuance.

NOTE 9 ~ SIGNIFICANT VENDOR AGREEMENT
 
On October 2, 2006, the Company entered into a new Product Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with Samsung, under which the Company was granted the right to distribute Samsung’s complete line of professional video surveillance and security products in North, Central and South America (“Territory”) through December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Agreement, Samsung has agreed to a limited non-compete in the Territory. The Agreement also provides for minimum annual purchase amounts of $21 million, $27 million, $32.4 million, $38.9 million, and $46.7 million for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively, and allows Samsung to terminate the Agreement at any time if the Company does not achieve the annual minimum purchase amounts, as well as upon the Company’s breach of any of its other obligations thereunder. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, the Company exceeded its minimum purchasing commitment under the agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, the Company purchased approximately $21.3 million and $28 million, respectively under the Distributorship Agreement with Samsung.

F-28


Samsung has established a credit limit under which the Company purchases products. During the year ended 2007, the limit was approximately $6.5 million. In January 2008, the limit was increased to approximately $10 million. The Company must pay in advance of shipment when the credit limit has been met or exceeded. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, $5.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, was due to Samsung under this agreement.
 
NOTE 10 ~ 401(K) PLAN

The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan covering all of its eligible employees. The Plan provides for annual discretionary employer and employee contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no annual discretionary employer contributions were approved and funded.

NOTE 11 ~ COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

General

Sales to certain consumers of video surveillance and other security products may be subject to sales tax requirements and possible audits by state taxing authorities. The Company records its estimated sales tax liability and includes that amount as an accrued obligation until paid.

The Company is also party to other disputes in the normal course of business. Management believes the ultimate resolution of such disputes will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Lease and Rents

The Company leases warehouse and office space under an operating lease agreement which expires on September 30, 2009. Under the terms of the lease, the Company paid no rent for six months, and then pays monthly rent of $25,704 for the remainder of the sixty-six month lease. The Company records rent on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and records the difference between amounts paid and expense recorded as a deferred lease liability.

The minimum annual rentals under the non-cancelable lease for the periods subsequent to December 31, 2007 are as follows ($ in thousands):

Item 15 – Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
On January 1, 2008, we issued a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.15 per share to Protect-A-Life Inc. in consideration of investor relations services provided to us by Protect-A-Life Inc.. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
On October 1, 2007, we issued a warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $.82 per share to Vanquish Capital Management, Inc. in consideration of financial advisory services. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
On April 1, 2007, we issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $.60 per share to CCG Investor Relations in consideration of investor relations services. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
On January 22, 2007, we completed a private placement of 1,713,334 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.60 per share for aggregate gross consideration of $1,028,000. The purchasers in the private placement consisted of a group of twelve “accredited investors”, including a director of ours who purchased 83,333 shares of Common Stock, and our Chief Executive Officer, who purchased 16,667 shares of Common Stock. The proceeds from the private placement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Because the shares were sold directly by us to the purchasers in the placement, we did not pay any placement agent fees or commissions in connection with the private placement.


 
The purchasers in the private placement were provided with “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares purchased by them. Pursuant to those rights, we have the discretion to determine the portion of the shares purchased by them that we will include in the next registration statement we file under the Securities Act.
 
The securities issued in the private placement were sold to persons reasonably believed to be accredited investors, without public solicitation or advertising, and the certificates evidencing the Common Stock issued in the private placement will be endorsed with appropriate restrictive legends. Accordingly, the sale of the securities in the private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
Pursuant to a consulting agreement dated November 8, 2006, we issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock (post 1-for-50 reverse split) to Protect-A-Life Inc., in consideration of investor relations services provided to us by Protect-A-Life Inc. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
Pursuant to an agreement dated October 20, 2006, we issued 100,000 shares of Common Stock (post 1-for-50 reverse split) to Wade Thomas in lieu of $20,000 of severance obligations owed to him. The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
On October 6, 2006, we completed a $5 million private placement, consisting of 100 Units at a price of $50,000 per unit. Each Unit consisted of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock (pre 1-for-50 reverse split) and a 6% Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $45,000, convertible into 11,250,000 shares of Common Stock (pre 1-for-50 reverse split) at a conversion price equal to $.004. On November 27, 2006, we effected a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Common Stock, and all of the Convertible Notes (including approximately $40,460 of accrued interest) were converted into an aggregate of 22,702,314 shares of Common Stock (post 1-for-50 reverse split)
 
As part of the transaction, we agreed to issue a warrant to purchase 93,750,000 shares of Common Stock (1,875,000 after giving effect to the reverse split) at a price of $.004 per share ($.20 after giving effect to the split) to a consultant as a consulting fee.
 
The purchasers in the private placement consisted of a group of accredited investors led by GVI Investment Company, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company formed for the purpose of participating in the private placement. GVI Investment Company, LLC, which purchased $2.5 million of the Units is managed by David Weiner.
 
The securities issued in the October 2006 private placement were sold to persons reasonably believed to be accredited investors, without public solicitation or advertising, and the Convertible Notes and certificates evidencing the Common Stock issued in the private placement have been endorsed with appropriate restrictive legends. Accordingly, the sale of the securities in the private placement was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
Pursuant to our Non-employee Directors Stock Plan adopted by our board of Directors in October 2005, we issued 400,000 shares of our Common Stock (pre 1-for-50 reverse split) to our non-employee directors as set forth in the table below. These issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Under Employment Agreements we entered into in January 2006 and March 2006, respectively, with Steven Walin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Joseph Restivo, our Chief Financial Officer, we issued Mr. Walin an option to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, and Mr. Restivo an option to purchase 750,000 shares of our Common Stock (in each case, pre 1-for-50 reverse split), in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The terms of these options are described in the Prospectus under “Employment Contracts; Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements.”
 
On July 21, 2005, in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, we issued to four employees and a consultant of to ours options to purchase an aggregate of 580,000 shares of Common Stock (pre 1-for-50 reverse split) at an exercise price of $.85 (the fair market value of our Common Stock on such date). None of these options have been exercised.

Item 17  Undertakings.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of the securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
 
(iii)
To include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the end of the offering.

II-5

 
Insofar as indemnification arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-6
