PART I.
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General
     We were incorporated on May 4, 1987, under the laws of the state of Nevada as Energy Realty Corporation. On July 31, 1993, we changed our name to Balcor International, Inc. On December 18, 1998, we changed our name to Dimension House, Inc. On October 28, 1999, we changed our name to Presidents Telecom, Inc. On April 17, 2000, we changed our name to VoIP Telecom, Inc. On July 19, 2002, we changed our name to Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc.
     On February 25, 2002, we announced a reverse split of our stock on a 1 for 20 basis. Prior to the reverse split we had 40,727,975 shares of common stock outstanding, with 21,780,957 of those shares available in the public float. Following the reverse split, the total number of shares outstanding was 2,036,399.
     Prior to March 29, 2002, we delivered international long distance service via flexible, server-based networks consisting of re-sale arrangements with other long distance providers, primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Access Communications, Inc. On March 29, 2002, we sold 100% of the common stock of Access Communications, Inc. to an independent third party. After the sale of Access Communications, we operated essentially as a shell company for the purpose of acquiring businesses related to the manufacturing and distribution of materials used in the refractory industry.
     On July 1, 2002, we issued 15 million shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Global Holdings, Inc. On October 16, 2002, Global Holdings, Inc. changed its name to DT Solutions, Inc. On July 24, 2002, we created another wholly-owned subsidiary, Refractory & Industrial Supply Group, Inc. (“RISG”). RISG was originally formed to act as the marketing and distribution division for all refractory products. However, on January 31, 2005, RISG acquired the “Freeport Entities” as described below, and is now manufacturing refractory products and other products related to the refractory industry.
     On March 27, 2006, RISG changed its name to Fuzion Technologies, Inc. to more accurately reflect our vision, which is to become a supplier of a full line of quality refractory and industrial products and complementary industrial services.
Refractory Industry
     Refractory products are heat-resistant materials used for the linings for high-temperature furnaces and reactors and other processing units. In addition to being resistant to thermal stress and other physical phenomena induced by heat, refractory products must also withstand physical wear and corrosion caused by chemical agents and rapid changes in temperature. Refractory products are more heat resistant than metals and are required for any heating applications above 1000 (Degree) Fahrenheit. Because refractory products are so resistant to heat, erosion and corrosion, they are typically used in any process involving heat and corrosion such as in kilns and furnaces. In recent years, the refractory industry has witnessed a large amount of consolidation, typically with large non-U.S. conglomerates acquiring smaller manufacturers.
     The genesis of the refractory industry can be traced to basalt, a naturally occurring siliceous refractory product. Basalt is formed under natural geological forces of heat and pressure. Modern refractory production is largely a replication of this process of forming naturally occurring or synthetic non-metallic mineral oxides and some non-oxides like carbides or nitrides under the bonding conditions of high heat and pressure. Technological progress has resulted in new bonding techniques using chemicals, cements and resins rather than simply heat and pressure.

Table of Contents

     Refractory products typically have relatively high bulk density, high softening point, and high crushing strength. Refractory products are typically referred to as:
    Monolithic - a furnace lining without joints, formed of material, which is rammed, cast, gunned or sintered into place;
 
    Brick - low grade, low alumina to high grade, high alumina straight and shaped brick; or
 
    Pre-Cast Shapes - special shapes designed to the customer’s specifications, such as a doorjamb in a furnace.
     Many refractory products, in final shape, resemble a typical construction brick. However, there are many different shapes and forms. Some refractory parts are small and may possess a complex and delicate geometry; others are massive and may weigh several tons in the form of precast or fusion cast bricks.
     Refractory products are used in all heavy industry, including steel, foundry, chemical, aluminum, petrochemical, pulp and paper, cement, lime, incineration and power/cogeneration.
Strategy
     We are in the process of developing an integrated operating and acquisition strategy designed to maximize internal and external growth through a combination of selective acquisitions and procuring distribution agreements with leading suppliers.
     During May 2004, B. Grant Hunter, our President, Chief Executive Officer and director, and John F. Curry, our Secretary/Treasurer and director, contributed to us 100% of the stock in LW Precast Corp. that had no operations and no liabilities but owned equipment used to manufacture monolithics and firebrick products, including one of the industry’s most utilized materials, high alumina/low cement castables and the more unique fused or vitreous silica brick products. We now have the capability to produce pre-cast, pre-fired refractory shapes. These are shapes that are cast to the customer’s specifications and then prefired so that they are placed directly into service, greatly reducing the customer’s downtime. We have also entered into agreements with suppliers that enable us to offer a complete line of refractory specialty items such as castables, plastics and mortars and high quality basic, extra high alumina, and alumina/chrome brick, as well as other high-end specialty items at competitive prices.
     We intend to actively seek out and secure additional strategic distribution agreements on a selective basis. We anticipate that our partners will exhibit certain characteristics such as dominance in a particular industry, sales of non-competing products that will complement our offerings, an existing sales force, and the ability to service a particular geographic area of the country.
     Pursuant to this strategy, on January 31, 2005, Fuzion Technologies, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, acquired substantially all of the refractory assets and assumed certain liabilities of Freeport Brick Company, Kittanning Brick Company, Free-MaDie Company, Freeport Refractories, Inc., and Freeport Area Enterprises, Inc. (the “Freeport Entities”) consisting principally of machinery, equipment, inventories, accounts receivable, certain contracts and leases, three manufacturing facilities, and intellectual property. The Freeport Entities are engaged in the business of manufacturing refractory products and tools and dies used in the refractory industry. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005 among the parties named above and us, the purchase price allocated among the assets totals approximately $5,600,000.
Competition
     We compete with a substantial number of other companies. We believe that the major competitive factors in our business are the quality and durability of finished products, the quality of customer service and price. Our ability to compete effectively in selling our products is primarily dependent on our ability to deliver high quality finished products with speed and accuracy, along with outstanding customer service.

Employees
     On December 31, 2007, Fuzion Technologies, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, employed approximately 90 full time employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. As of December 31, 2007, Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc. and DT Solutions, Inc. had no employees.
Additional Information
     We are subject to the reporting and informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in accordance therewith file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Exchange Act. Such reports, proxy statements and other information filed by the Company may be examined without charge at, or copies obtained upon payment of prescribed fees from, the Public Reference Room of the Commission at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Investors may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. Electronic filings made through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System are publicly available through the Commission’s web site (http://www.sec.gov).
Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
     We lease 500 square feet of office space that we use for our corporate headquarters at 4126 Delp Street, Suite 200, Memphis, TN, 38118, from Lynn Whitsett Corporation, a related company. We currently are not charged for the use of this property. We believe that the property is suitable for our current usage, and that it is adequately insured. As a result of acquisition, we acquired approximately 378,050 square feet of space located on 28.4 acres in Freeport, Pennsylvania, Adrian, Pennsylvania, and Kittanning, Pennsylvania. Our two refractory manufacturing plants are located in Freeport and Adrian, Pennsylvania, and our tool and die manufacturing plant is located in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. In March 2006, we completed the additional purchase of approximately 32 acres in Freeport and Adrian Pennsylvania in connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Freeport Entities as described in “Description of Business-Strategy.” This property is primarily utilized for raw material storage and will provide necessary space for any future expansion at the Freeport location. On February 2, 2006, a fire significantly damaged one of our buildings, which housed equipment used to grind all of the clay used in production at the Freeport location as well as all of the bauxite used in production at the Freeport and Kittanning locations. Certain of our equipment was also damaged.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
     On September 22, 2005, Freeport Brick Company, Free-Madie Company, Kittanning Brick Company, Freeport Refractories, Inc., Freeport Real Estate, Inc. and Freeport Area Enterprises, Inc. (“Freeport”) filed a complaint against us, Fuzion Technologies, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Gerald J. Gustas, a Fuzion stockholder, in the Court of Common Pleas of Armstrong County Pennsylvania. In connection with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of certain of the Freeport entities, Freeport alleged that we owed them additional amounts as a purchase price adjustment to account for differences in the values of certain assets and liabilities. On January 30, 2006, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Freeport and agreed to pay $150,000 to settle the aforementioned claims. This settlement cost of $150,000 is included in the total purchase price allocation of approximately $5,600,000. See “Description of Business-Strategy.” This amount was paid in 2006. In connection with this settlement, we are awaiting receipt of deeds, which will verify and finalize our interest in certain real property.
     On September 25, 2005, First Capital Insulation, Inc. filed a complaint against DT Solutions, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“DT Solutions”), and Mt. Savage Firebrick Company in the Circuit Court of Allegeny County, Maryland. DT Solutions entered into an agreement for the purchase of real property from Mt. Savage Firebrick Company. First Capital Insulation is seeking approximately $38,000 for its removal and disposition of asbestos containing material from two brick ovens. As of December 31, 2007, this matter had not been resolved.

     On February 2, 2006, a fire significantly damaged the Grinding Department building and equipment at the Freeport Brick plant. As a result, we incurred $1,020,356 in fire loss expenses during 2006. A legal dispute developed with our insurance agent over the extent of coverage. We filed a lawsuit against our insurance agent based on these losses. We reached a settlement with the parties to the lawsuit and received $2,800,000 in proceeds in December of 2006. As of December 31, 2007, we have recorded a receivable of $128,485, representing the final amount due in finalizing our insurance claim.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Introduction
     Our primary business purpose is to acquire businesses related to the manufacturing and distribution of refractory materials used in industry. DT Solutions, Inc., one of our subsidiaries, currently has no operations.
     All of our current operations are presently conducted through our other subsidiary, Fuzion Technologies, Inc., formerly known as Refractory & Industrial Supply Group, Inc. This subsidiary is engaged in the business of manufacturing refractory products, and dies used in the refractory industry and precision machining. The subsidiary operates the Freeport Brick Division, Kittanning Brick Division, and Armstrong Precision Manufacturing Division in Pennsylvania and operates the Memphis Division in Tennessee, but on a much smaller scale.
     We earn revenues and generate cash principally through the sale of products manufactured by our Fuzion Technologies Inc. subsidiary. Products are sold to customers worldwide in the cement & lime, aluminum, steel, chemical, petroleum, paper & pulp, foundry, and other non-ferrous industries.
Balance Sheets
     There have been several significant changes in our assets since December 31, 2006. Inventories at December 31, 2007 have increased $1,009,511 as compared to December 31, 2006. We have incurred significant increases in our production costs, mainly in the areas of raw materials and energy costs. The average cost of natural gas, which is our largest singular expense, has increased approximately 26% as compared to the prior year. These increased costs significiantly increased the production costs per item for our finished goods and work-in-process inventories. Additionally, raw materials inventories have increased $286,783 compared to December 31, 2006, primarily due to us having received two barge-loads of raw materials in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, from which $344,000 was still on-hand at December 31, 2007. Net property, plant, and equipment has increased $1,203,217 since December 31, 2006 primarily due to expenditures for equipment and construction related to the plant consolidation, which will be discussed later.
     Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses increased $867,403 as compared to December 31, 2006. This is mainly due to approximately $284,000 owed on various construction costs related to the plant consolidation project as well as $195,000 still owed on one of the bargeloads of raw materials. As of December 31, 2007, we also owed $138,963 to an affiliated Company for costs associated with the plant consolidation projects.

Table of Contents

The line of credit balance increased $1,280,422 since December 31, 2006 due primarily to us drawing on the line to fund some of our normal operating costs and to fund some of the costs associated with the plant consolidation.
     Our shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 has decreased since December 31, 2006, as a result of the net loss for the year offset by the stock issued for services of approximately $27,000.
Results of Operations
     Revenues – Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 are $11,412,279, compared to $10,308,956 for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is an increase of $1,103,323. Sales to our customers in the steel and aluminum industries have increased as compared to last year while sales to the cement and lime industries have decreased. Also included in this increase is a 17% increase in sales of our Duro brand, which we intend to market more aggressively in the future to take advantage of our brand name recognition. Selective price increases in some of our product lines also contributed to increased revenues.
     Expenses – Our cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2007 are $9,679,126, which is an increase of approximately $660,000 over the year ended December 31, 2006. Our Gross Profit percentage for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 15.2% compared to 12.5% for the prior year. Gross Profit benefited from various price increases that we selectively implemented in 2007 to improve our gross margins in some of our under-performing product lines. In addition there was a slight improvement in recovery rates at the Freeport plant. The most significant factors that contributed to the increase in cost of goods sold relate to energy and raw material costs. Because of increases in the cost of natural gas over the past several years, it has become our single largest cost of operations. That trend has continued into our 2007 operations as our average gas rate in 2007 was approximately 26% higher than it was in 2006. We are planning a major improvement in the efficiency of our production processes by consolidating our refractory product manufacturing facilities to one site. This will involve moving production operations from the Kittanning Brick facility to the Freeport Brick facility. Unfortunately, a fire that occurred at the Freeport plant on February 2, 2006, caused a significant delay in this plant consolidation process and has therefore caused a corresponding delay in realizing the financial benefits of this consolidation project. Bauxite is an important and expensive raw material used in our manufacturing of high alumina products. Subsequent to the fire at the Freeport plant, we were not able to grind bauxite at our own facilities and were forced to buy already-ground bauxite from a third party on an “as-needed basis.” We were also forced to outsource the grinding of the bauxite consumed from the barge-load of bauxite purchased during 2007. Fortunately, we did complete the re-installation of our own bauxite grinding equipment in March 2008. However, this cost “premium” has had a major impact on the raw material costs to manufacture our high alumina products. In addition, all of the clay used in production at the Freeport plant is being ground at the Kittanning plant and subsequently transported to the Freeport facility. This too is a direct result of the fire. This extra handling and transportation has also had an impact on our raw material costs.
     Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 are approximately $163,000 higher than the year ended December 31, 2006. This was mainly attributable to a large increase in sales of products through agents and brokers that require commission payments.
     All of the above resulted in operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $91,060, as compared to an operating loss of $189,303 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     For the year ended December 31, 2007, interest expense decreased approximately $89,000 compared to the prior year, due to us applying part of our December 2006 settlement on our fire insurance lawsuit to our line of credit, a drop in the interest rate on our revolving line of credit, and decreased interest expense relating to the decreasing principal balance on our bank term loan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants of the line of credit and long-term debt and accordingly, these balances have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recognize that we must achieve

profitable operations to continue as a going concern. We anticipate the future efficiencies in operations will continue to improve operating cash flows necessary to continue as a going concern.
Other Significant Events
     On February 2, 2006, a fire significantly damaged the Grinding Department building and equipment at the Freeport Brick plant. This Grinding Department equipment was used to grind 100% of the clay used in production at the Freeport plant as well as 100% of the bauxite used in production at both the Freeport and Kittanning plants. We had property insurance on the damaged facility but a legal issue developed over differences in the form of coverage purchased versus the form of coverage in the issued policy. In June 2006, we filed a lawsuit against our insurance agency based on this issue. After a long series of pre-trial legal proceedings, a settlement was reached via mediation in December 2006, shortly before the scheduled trial commencement. However, as of December 31, 2007, we are still not able to grind our own bauxite for either plant nor are we able to grind any clay at our Freeport plant. As noted above, we are incurring significant additional raw material costs because of this. Fortunately, we did complete the re-installation of our bauxite grinding operation in March 2008. However, until we rebuild the remainder of our damaged grinding department at the Freeport plant, we will incur additional costs in this area.
     We are planning on improving the efficiency of our production processes by consolidating our refractory product manufacturing facilities to one site. This will involve moving production operations from the Kittanning Brick facility to the Freeport Brick facility. We have contracted with a commercial realtor to sell the Kittanning Brick facility. This project was expected to have been completed by the middle of the year 2006; however, progress on this major project slowed dramatically pending the outcome of our fire insurance claim. Now that this insurance claim has been settled, we are moving forward with our plans to consolidate these operations. We are aware that we need to finalize this plant consolidation as quickly as possible in order to improve efficiency. We have prioritized our plans to complete the plant consolidation project before rebuilding the remainder of the grinding department. As of December 31, 2007, we have expended approximately $1,400,000 in construction and equipment related to plant consolidation costs. It is expected that the plant consolidation will be completed in Summer 2008.
     On March 27, 2006, our subsidiary, Refractory & Industrial Supply Group Inc. changed its name to Fuzion Technologies, Inc. This name more appropriately describes our vision and what we are becoming, namely a supplier of a full line of quality refractory and industrial products and complementary industrial services.
     As discussed earlier, bauxite is an important and expensive raw material used in manufacturing some of our products. However, there is no domestic supply of refractory grade bauxite and all of it must be imported from one foreign country. Unfortuately, the cost of this important raw material is rising at an alarming rate. The most recent price quote that we were provided in March 2008 represented a price increase of well over 100% as compared to our most recent purchase in August 2007. All of our competitors are facing this same cost increase issue. Although we have increased our prices in 2008 to offset these cost increases, the problem is compounded by the pressure placed on our cash management in having to purchase raw materials well in advance of the time that we are able to turn this raw material into a manufactured product, sell the product, and collect our payments from our customers. We are currently researching alternative product mixes to counter this problem.

Item 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007, (the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB) as a result of two material weaknesses, which are described below. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13A-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
     (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions involving our assets;
     (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management, and
     (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
     Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the reporting entitled Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
     Based on its evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our management has concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and there are two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

8


Table of Contents

     The first material weakness relates to our policy of verifying the physical quantity of raw materials inventory only on an annual basis. In 2007, we consumed approximately $1,700,000 worth of raw materials in our manufacturing operations, which represented approximately 15% of our gross sales. By not verifying the physical quantity on hand on a more regular basis, we potentially could materially under-report or over-report the raw materials expense in our cost of goods sold. In order to mitigate this material weakness, we intend to complete a physical review of our on-hand raw materials inventory on a quarterly basis in the future. (We also want to note here that finished goods and work-in-process inventories have been and still are verified on a monthly basis and are not exposed to this material weakness). Additionally, when we did compare the physical raw materials inventory quantities to our perpetual inventory records at December 31, 2007, a significant error was discovered. One of the factors contributing to this error is the size of our administrative staff which limits the ability to implement a more formal and routine review of various accounting functions. In the future, we intend to hire more administrative personnel, as finances allow.
     The second material weakness relates to the segregation on duties in the area of preparing checks. The size of our administrative staff limits the extent to which we can maximize separation of duties. One of our administrative staff employees is involved in issuing purchase orders and also records invoices, prepares checks, and prints checks with the computer-generated authorized signatures. While the check signing software is password-protected, this employee has access to this password, thereby providing the opportunity to print signed checks without proper authorization. In addition, we require two authorizing signatures on each check but only one password is necessary to print both signatures on the checks. While other separate controls are in place to review all of our cash activity on a regular basis, this material weakness in adequate controls exposes all of our cash assets to this deficiency. In order to mitigate this material weakness, we intend to implement the use of new passwords for each authorized check signer, both of which will separately be required to authorize the signing of checks.
     The presence of these material weaknesses does not mean that a material misstatement has occurred in our financial statements, but only that our present controls might not be adequate to detect or prevent a material misstatement in a timely manner.
     This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     During the three months ended December 31, 2007, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Medovitch has served as Treasurer of Freeport Area Enterprises, Inc., the parent company to the Freeport Entities, since October 1983. In January 2005, we acquired substantially all of the refractory assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Freeport Entities.
     Michael J. Livingston has been Vice President of Operations since February 1, 2005. Mr. Livingston previously served as President of Kittanning Brick Company since 1989 and President of Freeport Brick Company since 2001. Both of these companies were part of the Freeport entities acquired in January 2005.
     John F. Curry has been a director since 2002. Mr. Curry has been employed by Knight & Wilson, Inc. as a Risk Manager since February 2001. Prior to that time, Mr. Curry was self-employed.
     Ed Gatlin has been a director since 2001. He has been a partner and Chairman of Empire Express, Inc. since 1986.
     Jerry W. Hunter has been a director with the Company since 2002. He has been the President and majority stockholder of Lynn Whitsett Corporation since 1988. Mr. Hunter is the father of B. Grant Hunter, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
Audit Committee
     The entire Board of Directors acts as the Company’s audit committee. The audit committee does not have a charter. Additionally, we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee. Because of our small size and limited resources, we are not able to attract a candidate to serve on our audit committee that would be an audit committee financial expert.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and the holders of greater than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Executive officers and directors are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on a review of written representations from such officers, directors and shareholders with respect to the period

Table of Contents

from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, we are not aware of any required Section 16(a) reports that were not filed on a timely basis.
Code of Ethics
     We have not yet adopted a code of ethics and we do not expect to adopt one until we have attained a much larger size. With so few employees, officers, and directors, we do not feel that developing and adopting a code of ethics would impact or change our operations or our employees, directors or officers. As a result, developing and adopting a code of ethics would create an unnecessary expense.

2003 Equity Incentive Plan
     We adopted and our stockholders approved our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2003. The

11


Table of Contents

2003 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate in May 2013. The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights and other forms of equity compensation, which may be granted to employees, including officers, non-employee directors and consultants.
     Share Reserve. An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.
     The following types of shares issued under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan may again become available for the grant of new awards under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan: restricted stock that is repurchased or forfeited prior to it becoming fully vested; shares withheld for taxes; shares used to pay the exercise price of an option in a net exercise; and shares tendered to the Company to pay the exercise price of an option. In addition, shares subject to stock options that have expired or otherwise terminated without having been exercised in full may again become available for the grant of new awards under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares issued under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan may be previously unissued shares or reacquired shares bought on the market or otherwise.
     Administration. Our Board of Directors administers the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors may delegate authority to administer the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan to a committee. Subject to the terms of the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, our Board of Directors or its authorized committee, the plan administrator, determines recipients, grant dates, the numbers and types of equity awards to be granted and the terms and conditions of the equity awards, including the period of their exercisability and vesting. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the plan administrator also determines the exercise price of options granted, the purchase price for rights to purchase restricted stock and, if applicable, phantom stock and the strike price for stock appreciation rights. The plan administrator may also amend the terms of the plan and outstanding equity awards. Amendments to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan are subject to stockholder approval to the extent required by law, rule or regulation. In addition, the plan administrator may amend an option to lower its exercise price or exchange an option for an option with a lower exercise price, another equity award, cash or any other valuable consideration or may take any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.
     Nonstatutory Stock Options. Nonstatutory stock options will be granted pursuant to nonstatutory stock option agreements. The plan administrator determines the exercise price for a nonstatutory stock option. Options granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan vest at the rate specified in the option agreement.
     Generally, the plan administrator determines the term of nonstatutory stock options granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. Unless the terms of an optionee’s nonstatutory stock option agreement provide otherwise, if an optionee’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, the optionee, or his or her beneficiary, may exercise any vested options up to 12 months in the event of disability, 18 months in the event of death and 24 months in the event of retirement, after the date such service relationship ends. If an optionee’s relationship with us, or any affiliate of ours, ceases for any reason other than disability, death or retirement the optionee may exercise any vested options up to three months from cessation of service, unless the terms of the stock option agreement provide for earlier or later termination.
     Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common stock issued upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include cash, common stock previously owned by the optionee, a broker assisted exercise and the net exercise of the option.
     Generally, an optionee may not transfer a nonstatutory stock option other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution unless the nonstatutory stock option agreement provides otherwise. However, an optionee may designate a beneficiary who may exercise the option following the optionee’s death.
     Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards are purchased through a restricted stock award agreement. The purchase price for restricted stock awards must be at least the par value of the stock. The purchase price for a restricted stock award may be payable in cash or the recipient’s past or future services performed or to be performed for us or any of our affiliates. Rights to acquire shares under a restricted

12


Table of Contents

stock award may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights are granted pursuant to stock appreciation rights agreements. The plan administrator determines the strike price for a stock appreciation right. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement.
     The plan administrator determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. If an awardee’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, the awardee, or his or her beneficiary, may exercise any vested stock appreciation right up to three months or such longer or shorter period of time provided in the stock appreciation rights agreement. Different post-termination exercise periods may be provided in the stock appreciation rights agreement for specific terminations of service such as death, disability or retirement.
     Phantom Stock Awards. Phantom stock awards are granted pursuant to phantom stock award agreements. A phantom stock award may require the payment of at least par value. Payment of any purchase price may be made in any form of legal consideration acceptable to the plan administrator. Rights to acquire shares under a phantom stock agreement may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     Other Equity Awards. The plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our common stock. The plan administrator will set the number of shares under the award, the purchase price, if any, the timing of exercise and vesting and any repurchase rights associated with such awards. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the award agreement, such awards may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     Changes in Control. In the event of specified corporate transactions, all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights under the 2003 Equity Incentive plan either will be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring entity. If the surviving or acquiring entity elects not to assume, continue or substitute for such awards, such equity awards will become fully vested and exercisable and such equity awards will be terminated if not exercised prior to the effective date of the corporate transaction. Other forms of equity awards such as restricted stock awards may have their repurchase or forfeiture rights assigned to the surviving or acquiring entity. If such repurchase or forfeiture rights are not assigned, then such equity awards will become fully vested. Following specified change in control transactions, the vesting and exercisability of specified equity awards generally will be accelerated only if the awardee’s award agreement so specifies. The standard form of stock option agreement provides for options to become fully vested and exercisable if an optionee is involuntarily terminated without cause or has a constructive termination, in either case, within twelve months after the change in control.
     Employee Benefit Plan. During 2005, a subsidiary of ours, adopted a defined contribution plan for employees. The plan provides for discretionary profit sharing contribution and matching contributions determined annually by us. Our’s profit sharing contribution for 2007 and 2006 was equal to 2% of an eligible employee’s compensation and the matching contribution was equal to 100% of an eligible employee’s contribution up to 2% of the employees compensation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 of America). 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 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 Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated 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.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12, the Company’s continuing losses, among other things, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Description of Business
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diversified Thermal Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Company”. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s operations consist primarily of manufacturing refractory products and tools and dies used in the refractory industry. Management anticipates continuing to grow the Company by acquiring other businesses related to the manufacturing and distribution of materials used in the refractory business.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues at the time of shipment. During 2007, two customers prepaid for certain inventory that was not scheduled to be shipped until 2008. These transactions were recorded as deferred revenue at December 31, 2007. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of costs of goods sold.
Business Concentrations and Credit Risks
One customer represented 11% of the Company’s 2007 and 2006 revenues.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition but does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company charges accounts to bad debt expense as they are determined to be uncollectible based, in part, on a review of aging and collections. Credit losses, when realized, have been within the range of the Company’s expectations and, historically, have not been significant.
Although no individual vendor represented a significant portion of the Company’s purchases, the Company’s manufacturing processes are dependent upon its ability to purchase significant amounts of natural gas. Also, bauxite, which is an important raw material to certain of the Company’s products, has limited suppliers.
The majority of the Company’s employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement entered into on February 1, 2005 which expires on January 31, 2008.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were not significant during 2007 and 2006.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the first-in, first-out method.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
     
Buildings and improvements
  15-25 years
Machinery and equipment
  3-20 years
Construction in progress at December 31, 2007 consists primarily of costs related to plant consolidation with estimated costs to complete of approximately $2,000,000.
Income Taxes
During June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. This interpretation was issued to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance prescribed by FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold of more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The measurement attribute of FIN 48 requires that a tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Management does not believe that the Company has any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or measurement in accordance with the provisions of FIN 48. Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s policy is to classify penalties and interest associated with uncertain tax positions, if required, as a component of its income tax provision.
The Company files federal and state income tax returns. The Company’s major tax jurisdictions in which it files income tax returns include federal (United States of America) and the states of Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The tax years that remain subject to examination for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions at December 31, 2007 include 2004 through 2007.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in 2006 have been reclassified to conform with 2007 classifications.

Inventories consist of the following as of December 31:

  $ 753,136     $ 466,353

Net inventories
  $ 3,472,744     $ 2,463,230  
     
3. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
The Company has a revolving line of credit with a financial institution (the “Bank”) which allows the Company to borrow up to 70% of eligible accounts receivable and 40% of raw materials and finished goods inventories, up to a maximum of $2,500,000. As of December 31, 2007, the maximum amount available to borrow under the line of credit was approximately $41,000. Interest on the line of credit is based on the Bank’s base rate, as defined, plus 2% (9.25% at December 31, 2007). The line of credit requires monthly payments of all outstanding interest. Any outstanding principal and interest is due February 1, 2010. At March 17, 2008, the Company had increased its borrowing under this line of credit to $2,453,239.
The Company also has a term loan with the Bank which bears interest at an annual rate of 7.15% and matures on February 1, 2010. This loan requires monthly principal and interest payments of $29,878. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance of the Bank term loan was $714,287 and $984,892, respectively.
The Company has a promissory note payable to a shareholder with an outstanding balance of $592,000 and $600,000 on December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, the Company has two promissory notes in the amounts of $250,000 and $750,000 with two related companies controlled by family members of a major shareholder and Company board member (the “related companies”). Each of these promissory notes bears interest at an annual rate of 7.37%. Interest only payments are scheduled on a quarterly basis through May 31, 2010. However, certain scheduled interest payments have not been made on two of the notes, and the Company has accrued interest to the related companies of approximately $130,000 and $120,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Beginning on June 1, 2010, the Company will make principal and interest payments on a quarterly basis in the combined amount of $61,196 for the shareholder and the related companies’ promissory notes. All of these promissory notes mature on

3. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt (continued)
March 1, 2019, with any remaining principal and interest due in full on this date. Interest expense to the shareholder and related companies totaled approximately $118,000 in both 2007 and 2006.
The Company also has certain other notes payables secured by a vehicle and certain equipment. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the balance of these other notes payable was $30,289 and $31,460, respectively.
The Bank loans discussed above are collateralized by substantially all assets of Company and the related companies, along with an assignment of a life insurance policy on a Company shareholder. Both the line of credit and the term loan agreements with the Bank include certain financial covenants and restrictions, including restrictions on dividends. As of December 31, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these covenants and accordingly, the balances outstanding on both the line of credit and term loan have been classified as current. All other debt of the Company is subordinate to that of the Bank, and prepayment of such subordinate debt is restricted as defined in the loan agreements.
Also, the Company has agreed to guarantee the indebtedness which the related companies have with the Bank. Upon default by the related companies, the Company would be obligated to pay any outstanding principal and accrued interest to the Bank on their behalf. In addition, if the related companies default on their loans from the Bank, the Company’s outstanding loans with the Bank will also be considered in default. At December 31, 2007, the debt guaranteed for the related companies was $1,979,582 under term loans and up to $5,500,000 under revolving lines of credit. These term loans and revolving lines of credit expire between February 2009 and October 2010. These loans are also cross-collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the related companies and the Company.
Scheduled future principal payments of the Company’s long-term debt, including long-term related party notes payable, are as follows at December 31, 2007:
         
2008
  $ 340,222

For tax purposes, the Company has State of Tennessee net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers totaling $961,263, which are available to offset future taxable income in Tennessee. These NOL carryovers expire at various dates between 2012 and 2022. As the Company’s primary operations are currently outside of the State of Tennessee, the Company has established a valuation allowance of $62,482 to fully offset the deferred tax asset relating to these NOL carryovers. The valuation allowance was increased in 2007 by $8,854 due to an increase in these Tennessee NOL carryovers. The Company utilized its federal NOL carryovers during 2007 resulting in a decrease in the valuation allowance of $327,931.

8. Earnings Per Share Data
Basic earnings or loss per share assumes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method of computing such effects and contingent shares. As the Company has no outstanding stock options or warrants, there are no diluted earnings or loss per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings and loss per share for the years ended December 31:
                 
    2007   2006
     
Average shares outstanding
    18,933,405       18,833,831

9. Other Related Party Transactions
The Company previously received advances totaling $34,899 from a shareholder and from a family member of a major shareholder in order to meet its obligations. These advances are noninterest bearing. As these advances are subordinate to the Bank notes discussed in Note 3, the amounts have been classified as long-term in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
During 2006, the President of a customer of the Company joined the Company’s Board of Directors. Revenues from this customer totaled approximately $657,000 during 2007 and $940,000 during 2006. During December 2007, this individual resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. Accounts receivable from this customer totaled $84,980 and $121,983 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company also had sales to one of the related companies of approximately $194,000 during 2007 and $47,000 during 2006. This same related company provided construction services of approximately $139,000 during 2007 which remains unpaid at December 31, 2007. Additionally, this related company advanced the Company approximately $360,000 subsequent to year-end.
10. Employee Benefit Plan
A subsidiary of the Company has a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) for employees who are at least 21 years of age and have worked at least one month. The Plan provides for discretionary profit-sharing and matching contributions determined annually by the Company. The Company made profit-sharing and matching contributions of $96,182 in 2007 and $75,223 in 2006.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For the purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of financial instruments with immediate and shorter-term maturities (generally 90 days or less) is estimated to be the same as the recorded book value. These instruments include the consolidated balance sheet lines captioned cash, accounts receivable, checks outstanding in excess of bank balance, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenue. The fair value of the Company’s line of credit also approximates its carrying amount due to its variable interest rate.
The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, capital leases and advances from shareholders are estimated to be approximately $2,209,000 (carrying amount of $2,426,859) at December 31, 2007, using discounted cash flow analysis and based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
12. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Without regard to the fire related matters discussed in Note 6, the Company’s historic losses, cash requirements and noncompliance with certain debt covenants, among other things, indicate the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Management recognizes the Company must continue to maintain profitable operations and must improve existing cash flows in order to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates the future efficiencies in operations will continue to improve operating cash flows necessary to continue as a going concern.
