FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward-looking statements.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objections of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except for our ongoing securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.  Additionally, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 most likely do not apply to our forward-looking statements as a result of being a penny stock issuer.  You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any or our forward-looking statements.  Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.  The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

o  
our ability to diversify our operations;
o  
our ability to successfully compete in the energy efficient industry;
o  
inability to raise additional financing for working capital;
o  
the fact that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain;
o  
our ability to attract key personnel;
o  
our ability to operate profitably;
o  
deterioration in general or regional economic conditions;
o  
changes in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate;
o  
adverse state or federal legislation or regulation that increases the costs of compliance, or adverse findings by a regulator with respect to existing operations;
o  
inability to achieve future sales levels or other operating results;
o  
the inability of management to effectively implement our strategies and business plans;
o  
the unavailability of funds for capital expenditures; and
o  
other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report.

For a detailed description of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors in this document.

Throughout this Annual Report references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Noble”, “the Company”, and similar terms refer to Noble Innovations, Inc and its subsidiaries.

PART I

ITEM 1.                      BUSINESS

General Business Development

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in September of 2002 as XSInventory.  In February 2003, we formed Creative Excess, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary, to become an online liquidator of products through eBay.  During the second quarter of 2007, we determined it in the best interest of our stockholders to elect a new board member and hire new management to assist us in establishing new methods of generating revenues.  On May 16, 2007, we obtained majority consent of our stockholders and changed our name from XSInventory to Noble Innovations, Inc. in anticipation of changing our business plan.

In 2007 we discontinued our previous business plans to pursue energy efficient technology that is classified as “green” in nature. On May 16, 2007, we appointed James A. Cole to serve as our new Chief Executive Officer of the Company as well a member of the board of directors. On June 18, 2008 we acquired Noble Systems, Inc. (NSI) to acquire certain patents related to the technology used in the modular heating system of tank-less water heaters. Through these changes, our management intends to pursue and develop products that utilize energy efficient technologies. Our first product and focus has been on the development of a commercially viable tank-less water heating system. The Company is in the process of developing the production process and anticipates being able to bring the product to market in 2009.  As of December 31, 2008, we continue to be classified as a development stage company.

On April 30, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a one for twenty reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  The effective date of the reverse split was May 20, 2008.  Pursuant to the reverse split, holders of the Company’s common stock were deemed to hold one (1) post-split share of the Company’s common stock for ever twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as classified immediately prior to the close of business on May 20, 2008.  No fractional shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the reverse split.  Additionally, in conjunction with the Reverse Split the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company was also reduced at a ratio of one for twenty.

2

On June 16, 2008, we obtained majority consent of our stockholders and amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 50,000,000.

Current Business Operations

Since transitioning our business focus to providing and distributing “green” products, the Company has focused on pursuing various energy efficient technologies and has begun associating ourselves with various associations and societies that emphasize innovative, energy efficient and environmentally sensitive products in the building community.  During the fourth quarter of 2007, we showcased our first “green” product; the Viridian Truly Tankless water heater, to the building community at the 2007 Excellence in Building Conference & Expo in St. Paul, Minnesota.  The tankless water heaters can be used for whole-house applications.  Since the first debut of the Viridian Tankless water heater we have showcased the product in various shows throughout the country.  In addition to displaying the tankless water heater we received our first deposits on pre-orders in October 2007, although shipment of the water heaters has not taken place as of the date of this filing.  We anticipate upon proper funding being accomplished that we will be able to complete the shipment of this order.

On June 18, 2008, we completed an acquisition and plan of merger with Noble Systems Incorporated (“Noble Systems”), a Delaware corporation.  With the acquisition of Noble Systems, we acquired all the outstanding assets of Noble Systems, which consisted of testing machinery and miscellaneous small machine tools used in the development of the Viridian Tankless Water heaters as well as the intellectual property of a provisional patent granted for the water heater.  Pursuant to the acquisition and plan of merger agreement, Noble Systems merged into Noble Innovations, Inc. and we agreed to issue 1.15 shares of our common stock for 1 share of Noble Systems issued and outstanding shares.

Principal Products and Services

Noble’s first “green” product to be distributed is the Viridian Tankless electric water heater, (“Viridian”).  Upon the acquisition of Noble Systems in the second quarter of 2008, we now own the intellectual property of the Virdian Tankless water heater.  The water heater is an electric heater that can provide enough hot water for a whole house while also reducing the amount of electricity and water used as well as decreasing carbon emissions and non-biodegradable waste.

The Viridian utilizes a patented system of four horizontal, downward flowing, high quality, 316 grade stainless-steel Jalixâ heating tubes.  The cold water enters the top of the heating system and is heated as it flows horizontally and downward, causing sediment to be naturally washed away each time hot water is used.  There are no tank bottoms and no spaces for sediment to accumulate.  Currently, there are two models, the V120 and V100.

3

Distribution Methods of the Products

Noble intends to establish a distribution network for the Viridian by developing relationships with plumbing and electrical distributors, appliance stores selling plumbing products, builders, other equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), as well as directly to plumbers and electricians and individual remodelers.  Noble intends to also incorporate in-house sales personnel as funds allow.

Competition and Market Overview

The Company and its products compete in various industries of alternative “green” products and more specifically that of water heaters with its first distributed product, the Viridian electric tankless water heater.  With the introduction of the Viridian, Noble will compete principally with all water heater manufacturers.  Almost all water heaters sold in the United States are traditional storage units.  Additionally, there are various manufacturers such as Noritz, Rinnai and Bosch that have also developed tankless water heaters, otherwise referred to as advanced technologies water heaters.  However, most of these manufacturers rely on the tankless water heaters being powered by gas whereas the Viridian products differentiate themselves as they are electrically powered.

Given the current economic conditions and the housing downturn, Noble anticipates it will encounter additional challenges with regards to selling the Viridian products.  However, tankless water heaters have various benefits such as: providing endless hot water, lower energy and water bills, environmentally efficient, better quality water and long life expectancy.  Furthermore, the Viridian is consistent with being a truly “green” product in that it saves water and electricity and requires less metal to manufacture.  With the perceived benefits it is expected that the market for tankless water heaters will continue to grow in popularity over the next ten to fifteen years as the products continue to be more cost efficient and people continue to become more eco-conscious.  In 2003, gas tankless water heaters sales were for approximately 53,000 units and in 2006, gas tankless water heater sales exceeded 254,000 units.  As of 2008, there were approximately 690,000 gas tankless water heaters sold in the United States alone.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of the Principal Suppliers

The tankless water heaters are being assembled at the Noble facility in Tempe, Arizona and all electrical parts, castings, and sheet metal are being supplied by local suppliers.  Approximately 90% of the raw materials are supplied by U.S. suppliers and only purchases of the heating elements are obtained internationally.  There are no contracts with suppliers and the raw materials are obtained based upon availability and price on the open wholesale market.

Intellectual Property

We regard the protection of copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade dress and trade secrets as critical to our future success and will rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service mark and trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our proprietary rights in products and services. As a result of our distributorship of the Viridian water heaters, and upon the development of new product lines, we will be entering into confidentiality agreements with our licensees, potential licensees, distributors, sub-distributors, consultants and strategic partners in order to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. These contractual arrangements or the other steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not prove sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our technology or to deter independent third-party development of similar technologies.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we were granted trademarks in the United States of the words “Viridian”, “Viridian Truly Tankless”, and “Jalix”.  Also upon acquiring Noble Systems we now control the ownership of the pending patent for the Viridian water heaters and its various components.  Noble Systems originally applied for a patent in May of 2008 with application number 12/151,675.

Need for Government Approval of Principal Products

Viridian Truly Tankless water heater has been submitted for ETL testing in the State of California for electrical certification.  ETL is the commercial equivalent of UL and Noble submitted its application to Interteck, which is the company that grants ETL approval.  Although not receiving ETL certification would not prevent us from selling the Viridian Tankless water heaters, it is expected that ETL certification is expected during the second quarter of 2009.

Governmental Approval and Regulation

Noble is subject to all of the government regulations that regulate businesses generally such as compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and local agencies and authorities, including regulations concerning workplace safety, labor relations, and disadvantaged businesses.  In addition, the Company’s operations are subject to the jurisdiction of federal, state and other taxing authorities.  From time to time, these taxing authorities may review or audit the Company.

We anticipate our operations relating to the distribution of “green” products will be effected by a variety of federal, state, and local laws intended to protect the environment.  While these environmental regulations will be evaluated when relating to significant capital expenditures, compliance with the environmental laws is not expected to have a material effect upon the business and operations of the Company.  At this point in time, it is not possible to estimate the costs needed to comply with environmental laws pertaining to tankless water heaters.

Research and Development

We anticipate contracting with outside firms to provide the necessary research and development for our new line of business in energy efficient products.  We anticipate that the companies in which we act as a distributor of their products may cause us to incur necessary research and development expenses to bring those products to the market.

Personnel

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had 3 full-time employees.  We entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, James A. Cole during the second quarter of 2007.  The agreement is for a three year term and we agreed to pay Mr. Cole a base salary of $180,000 for the first year, $198,000 for the second year, and $218,000 for the third year of employment.  Also, during the second quarter of 2007, we executed an employment agreement with L. Fred Huggins, to serve as our Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  Mr. Huggins agreed to serve in this position for two years and we agreed to compensate him a base salary of $150,000 per year.  Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008, Mr. Huggins resigned from his position as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

During the first quarter of 2008, we entered into a two year employment agreement with a Director of Engineering, whereby the Company has agreed to annual compensation of $115,000 in addition to an allowance of $500 to $1,000 for individual health insurance until the Company can establish a group plan for its employees.

These employees are engaged in management, marketing and sales, and administrative services.  Currently, there are no organized labor agreements or union agreements between us and our employees.

As we continue under our proposed line of business, we may need to hire additional employees.  In the interim, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when appropriate. We believe the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to control general and administrative expenses and operate efficiently.

ITEM 1A.                   RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating with Our Business and Marketplace

We have no operating history in the energy efficient industry and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this industry.

Our proposed operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including insufficient capital, unforeseen problems, and expenses and complications encountered with the early phases of operations in a business. Moreover, our lack of an operating history in the energy efficient industry makes it impossible to predict whether or not we will operate profitably in the industry. While we have brought on management that is familiar with this industry, there can be no assurances that we will be able to locate, hire and retain the necessary personnel to initiate, manage and operate this line of business, develop and implement necessary systems, obtain contracts and obtain financing as contemplated in our business strategy.

6

We anticipate that our “green” products will be sold to new residential and commercial construction companies so our operations could be adversely affected by a decline in residential and commercial construction.

We anticipate that our products and specifically that of the tankless water heater will be marketed and sold to new residential and commercial construction companies.  The strength of residential and commercial construction depends on new housing starts and business investment, which are a function of many factors beyond our control, including interest rates, employment levels, availability of credit and consumer confidence.  Downturns in these markets could result in lower revenues and lower profitability.  New housing starts declined in 2006, which have continued through 2008 and the pace may continue at lower levels than previously expected and decline further.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008 we executed an acquisition and plan of merger agreement.  The acquired company and Noble Innovations has since operated as a combined entity and are now fully integrated.  Additionally, we may acquire other companies in the future, which we may not be able to integrate them successfully.

On June 18, 2008, we completed an acquisition and plan of merger agreement with Noble Systems Incorporated.  We may in the future also look to acquire additional companies that are consistent with our business plan of energy efficient products.  Each acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions; including the completion of due diligence reasonably satisfactory to us, the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, required regulatory approvals, and the acquired company providing audited financial statements as required by SEC rules and regulations.  We may not be able to complete these acquisitions if we are not satisfied with our due diligence investigation, if we are unable to negotiate definitive agreements, if we cannot obtain the required regulatory approvals, or if the companies to be acquired cannot provide the required audited financial statements.

Further, even if we are able to successfully complete any proposed acquisitions, the company to be acquired will have been operated as a separate independent entity and we may not be able to integrate the operations of that business successfully or institute the necessary systems and procedures, including accounting and financial reporting systems, to manage the combined enterprise on a profitable basis.  Our management may not be able to manage the combined entity effectively or to successfully implement our operating strategies.  Any inability to integrate any other future entities successfully would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

7

Our auditor’s report reflects the fact that without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.

Our 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. We have suffered losses from operations during our operating history and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining future profitable operations. Although management believes that the proceeds from the sale of securities, together with funds from operations, will be sufficient to cover short-term anticipated cash requirements, we may be required to seek additional capital to fund future growth and expansion. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms. Moreover, favorable financing may be dilutive to investors.

An inability to access capital readily or on terms favorable to us could impair our ability to fund operations and could jeopardize our financial condition.
      
            Access to funds is essential to our anticipated energy efficient products business.  In the future we may need to incur debt or issue equity in order to fund our working capital requirements, as well as to make acquisitions and other investments.  Our access to funding sources could be hindered by many factors.

We will need additional capital in the future to finance our operations, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.

We believe that current cash on hand and the other sources of liquidity will not be sufficient enough to fund our anticipated expansion of operations through fiscal 2008.  We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $5,000,000 to fund our anticipated expansion of operations in energy efficient “green” products over the next twelve months.  Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy.

Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited.

The markets for our “green” products are highly competitive and revenues could decline if we are unable to respond to competition.

We anticipate that our products will compete in highly competitive markets and will compete based on product design, quality of products and services, product performance, maintenance costs, and overall price.  We will compete with manufacturers and distributors located in the United States and throughout the world.  Some of our competitors have greater financial, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution resources than we do.  We cannot assure that our products and services will compete successfully with those of our competitors or that we will be able to acquire a strong customer base to establish profit margins.  These risks could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

8

Results of operations could be impacted by product liability lawsuits and claims.

Through the distribution of the tankless water heaters, we anticipate that these products could expose us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture, and sale of the products.  Currently, we do not maintain product liability insurance but intend to pursue policies regarding this.  However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to locate and maintain a policy with acceptable terms or that the insurance policy will provide adequate protection against potential liabilities.  In the event of successful claims against us, this could materially and adversely affect our reputation and our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Noble is highly dependent on its key executive officers for the success of its business plan and may be dependent on the efforts and relationships of the principals of future acquisitions and mergers.  If any of these individuals become unable to continue in their role, the company’s business could be adversely affected.

Noble believes its success will depend, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of James Cole, its CEO.  If Noble lost Mr. Cole, it would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of its business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. Noble can give you no assurance that it could find a satisfactory replacement for Mr. Cole at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome.

If Noble grows and implements its business plan, it will need to add managerial talent to support its business plan.  There is no guarantee that Noble will be successful in adding such managerial talent.  These professionals are regularly recruited by other companies and may choose to change companies.  Given Noble’s relatively small size compared to some of its competitors, the performance of its business may be more adversely affected than its competitors would be if Noble loses well-performing employees and are unable to attract new ones.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board.  More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission.  Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.  As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.  As of the date of this filing, we have one late filing reported by FINRA.

9

Our common stock could be deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock which could make it cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market for our common stock less liquid and negatively affect the price of our stock.

Trading of our common stock may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1.  A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading will be subject to additional sales practice requirements of broker-dealers.  These require a broker-dealer to:
 
·  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
·  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
 
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock.  Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.

By issuing preferred stock, we may be able to delay, defer or prevent a change in control.

Our board of directors approved the issuance of 400,000 shares of 6% Series A Preferred Stock to our CEO, Mr. James Cole, which hold the same voting rights as those of our common stock.  As a result of these shares having voting rights, Mr. Cole controls a majority of the voting shares of stock and may have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of and voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

The outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are controlled by Mr. Cole thereby allowing Mr. Cole to have a majority ownership over our outstanding voting shares and the ability to control our management and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval notwithstanding the overall opposition of our other stockholders.

As a consequence of Mr. Cole controlling the majority voting position, acting alone he will be able to authorize the issuance of securities that may dilute and otherwise adversely affect the rights of purchasers of stock in the offering, including additional preferred stock.  Mr. Cole will retain the ability to elect a majority of our board of directors and thereby control our management.  Mr. Cole will also have the ability to control the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including mergers and other changes of corporate control, going private transactions and other extraordinary transactions.  Additionally, he may authorize the issuance of these securities to anyone he wishes, including himself and his affiliates.  This concentration of ownership by these individuals could discourage investments in our company, or prevent a potential takeover of our company which may have a negative impact on the value of our securities.

10

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Noble Innovations; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Noble Innovations are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Noble Innovations, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Noble Innovations’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We have one individual, our president and chief executive officer, performing the functions of all officers and directors. This individual is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with our internal control procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

ITEM 1B.                   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2.                      PROPERTIES

Our corporate office is located in Phoenix, Arizona, where we are allowed to utilize space from DataHand Systems, Inc., which is another entity controlled by our CEO, James Cole.  There was no formal lease and we were allowed to utilize the space at no cost.

On July 31, 2008, Noble entered into a three year agreement to lease 6,402 square feet of warehouse space to be used for production purposes in Tempe, Arizona under a non-cancelable 3-year operating lease expiring September 30, 2011. The lease commenced on October 1, 2008 and pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay monthly payments of $4,740 plus Common Area Maintenance (“CAM”) charges for the first twelve months with annual increases thereafter.  The lease provides for increases in future minimum annual rental payments based on defined annual increases beginning with monthly payments of $4,740 plus variable CAM charges and culminating in a monthly payment of $5,030 plus CAM charges on September 30, 2011.  Additionally, we were required to pay a $15,000 security deposit.

ITEM 3.                      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

In March 2009, the Company filed a complaint against L. Fred Huggins, its former Vice President of Sales and Marketing, in the United States District Court, District of Arizona.  The complaint seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and monetary damages based on allegations of theft of trade secrets, breach of non-compete agreement, unfair competition, and conspiracy to commit unfair competition.  Furthermore, a temporary restraining order with regards to the Company’s proprietary information, trade secrets and confidential information was filed against Mr. Huggins in the Superior Court of Arizona, in and for the County of Maricopa.

Mr. Huggins subsequently filed counterclaims and a third party counterclaim alleging refusal to pay wages, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, conversion, and civil conspiracy.  Mr. Huggins has requested compensatory damages of approximately $169,000 as well as punitive damages, treble damages and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs in his countersuit.

ITEM 4.                      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

We did not submit any matters to a vote at a stockholders meeting of our security holders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

However, during the second quarter of 2008, we obtained majority consent of stockholders for the Merger with Noble Systems Incorporated and the increase of our authorized shares.

Market Information

Our Common Stock was approved for trading on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Automated Quotation Bulletin Board System on January 10, 2007, under the symbol “XSIV.OB”.  Upon the company’s name being changed from XSInventory to Noble Innovations in May 2007, the symbol was changed to “NBIV.OB”.  On May 20, 2008, a reverse split became effective whereby the holders of our common stock were deemed to hold 1 share of the Company’s common stock for every 20 shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date.  As a result of the reverse merger, our symbol was changed to “NOBV.OB”.

Trading of our common stock did not begin until January 10, 2007 and our common stock has traded infrequently on the OTC.BB, which limits our ability to locate accurate high and low bid prices for each quarter within the last two fiscal years.  Therefore, the following table lists the quotations for the high and low bid prices as reported by a Quarterly Trade and Quote Summary Report of the OTC Bulletin Board since we began trading on January 10, 2007 through December 31, 2008.  The quotations from the OTC Bulletin Board reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, markdown, or commissions and may not be represent actual transactions.

Holders of Common Stock

As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately 162 stockholders of record of the 12,539,340 shares outstanding.

Dividends

The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors.  By reason of our present financial status and our contemplated financial requirements, we do not anticipate paying any dividends upon our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We did however, on May 20, 2008, approve a 1 for 20 reverse split; however, we currently do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future on the shares of common stock.  We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, based upon the Board’s assessment of:
 
13

 
·
our financial condition;
·
earnings;
·
need for funds;
·
capital requirements;
·
prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and  outstanding; and
·
other factors, including any applicable laws.
 
Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock will ever be paid.

Consultant and Employee Stock Compensation Plan

We currently maintain equity compensation plans to allow the Company to compensate employees, directors, consultants and certain other persons providing bona fide services to the Company or to compensate officers, directors and employees for accrual of salary, through the award of our common stock.

These plans are intended to encourage directors, officers, employees and consultants to acquire ownership of common stock.  The opportunity so provided is intended to foster in participants a strong incentive to put forth maximum effort for its continued success and growth, to aid in retaining individuals who put forth such effort, and to assist in attracting the best available individuals to the Company in the future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On December 8, 2008, we sold 84,000 shares of our common stock at $0.60 per share to an accredited investor for total proceeds of $50,400.

On December 12, 2008, we authorized the issuance of 15,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for $30,000 in proceeds and a secured convertible note, which carries a 12% interest rate.  The note matures on December 12, 2009.  The note is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to 50% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion.  Additionally, the note is secured by 60,000 shares of our common stock, which will be issued in the event of default.

On December 16, 2008, we authorized the issuance of 25,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for proceeds of $100,000 and a secured convertible note, which carries an 8% interest.  The note matures on December 16, 2009.  The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the lesser of 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days prior to conversion or $0.75 per share.  Additionally, the note is secured by 200,000 shares of our common stock, which will be issued in the event of default.

15

On December 19, 2008, a total of 10,000 shares (5,000 each) of our common stock were issued to two consultants for services performed.

We believe the issuance of the shares is or will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D, Rule 506.  The shares were or are to be issued directly by us and do not involve a public offering or general solicitation.  The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to our files and records of that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in the Company’s financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment.

Issuance of Options

On October 6, 2008, the Company granted 25,000 options pursuant to a consulting and advisory agreement.  The options are exercisable at $1.00 per share over a five year term.  Additionally, pursuant to the agreement the Company agreed to issue an additional 75,000 options in increments of 25,000 every ninety days thereafter with an exercise price of $1.00 over a five year term.

We believe the issuance of the options is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2).  The options were issued directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation.  The recipients of the options were afforded an opportunity for effective access to our files and records of that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in the Company’s financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment.

Subsequent Issuances

On January 16, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement whereby we agreed to issue 7,500 shares of our common stock per quarter for four quarters to an individual beginning on April 16, 2009.

On January 31, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement whereby we agreed to issue 6,250 shares of our common stock per quarter for eight quarters to an individual beginning on April 31, 2009.

On February 10, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement whereby we agreed to issue 10,000 shares of our common stock per quarter for eight quarters to an individual beginning on May 10, 2009.

16

On February 16, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement whereby we agreed to issue 5,000 shares of our common stock per quarter for eight quarters to an individual beginning on May 16, 2009.

On February 19, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement whereby we agreed to issue 5,000 shares of our common stock per quarter for six quarters to an individual beginning on May 19, 2009.

The shares pursuant to the above mentioned consulting agreement will not be issued until three months from the execution date of the agreement.

We believe the issuance of the shares will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2).  The shares are to be issued directly by us and do not involve a public offering or general solicitation.  The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to our files and records of that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in the Company’s financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment.

Issuance pursuant to Form S-8

On September 22, 2008, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8, whereby we registered a total of 600,000 shares.  Pursuant to the Form S-8, we issued 30,000 shares to Stoecklein Law Group for legal services and a total of 450,000 shares to three consultants and one employee.  As of December 31, 2008, we had 120,000 shares of our common stock available to be issued under the Consultant Stock Plan.

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008, we issued another 10,000 shares to an employee and 25,000 shares to the Law Offices of Ivan Mlachak as a retainer for legal services.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not repurchase any of our securities during the year ended December 31, 2008.

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

OVERVIEW

During the second quarter of 2007, we determined it in the best interest of our stockholders to elect a new board member and hire new management to assist us in establishing new methods of generating revenues.  On May 16, 2007, we obtained majority consent of our stockholders and changed our name from XSInventory to Noble Innovations, Inc. in anticipation of changing our business plan.

17

In connection with the name change and the intention to pursue a new line of business, on May 16, 2007, we appointed James A. Cole to serve as our new Chief Executive Officer of the Company as well a member of the board of directors.  As a result of these executive changes, our focus has shifted to pursuing energy efficient technology that is classified as “green” in nature.

OVERVIEW OF CURRENT OPERATIONS

Since transitioning our business focus to providing and distributing “green” products, the Company has focused on pursuing various energy efficient technologies and has begun associating ourselves with various associations and societies that emphasize innovative, energy efficient and environmentally sensitive products in the building community.  During the fourth quarter of 2007, we showcased our first “green” product; the Viridian Truly Tankless water heater.

On June 18, 2008, we completed an acquisition and plan of merger with Noble Systems Incorporated (“Noble Systems”), a Delaware corporation.  With the acquisition of Noble Systems, we acquired all the outstanding assets of Noble Systems, which consisted of testing machinery and miscellaneous small machine tools used in the development of the Viridian Tankless Water heaters as well as the intellectual property of a provisional patent granted for the water heater.  Pursuant to the acquisition and plan of merger agreement, Noble Systems merged into Noble Innovations, Inc.

Result of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

As a result of this business change in 2007, the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are not directly comparable as the Company had previously been pursing a different line of business during the first half of 2007 than what we are currently pursuing in 2008.  Additionally, our new business plan is still in the early stage of development and as a result we have not experienced any revenues or cost of goods related to this change in business operations.

General and Administrative expenses:

The general and administrative expenses increased 118% from $116,969 during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $254,948 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The primary increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the Company’s expansion in the energy efficient industry, which began in May of 2007.  Prior to May 2007, we operated our business of acquiring excess inventory and resold the inventory through various internet channels of distribution, which ultimately did not incur much general and administrative expense.  As we continue in our new line of business we expect to incur higher general and administrative expenses as evidenced in the increases shown during the 2008 year.

Professional fees:

During the year ended December 31, 2008, we incurred $2,043,153 in professional fees, of which we expensed approximately $1,895,644 in stock based compensation. In contrast, we incurred $222,917 in professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2007.  This amounted to a $1,820,236 increase from the year ended December 31, 2008 to that of the year ended December 31, 2007.  Professional fees during the 2008 year were primarily made up of stock being issued to multiple consultants for services performed for the Company.  In comparison we incurred only minimal professional fees that were related to our public offering during the first quarter of 2007 and had only begun to incur professional fees relating to our new business endeavor.  We expect that we will continue to experience high professional fees as we continue to utilize consultants’ services.

Salaries and wages:

Total salaries and wage expenses, include the expenses associated with our appointed officers that began with our pursuit of a new line of business in May of 2007.  In conjunction with this transition, we executed two employment agreements with our newly appointed officers and since that time we have continued to experience higher salary expenses.

Our total salary expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by 288% as compared to the same period of 2007.  In addition to the employment agreements we executed in May of 2007, during the year ended December 31, 2008, we entered into a two year employment agreement with our Director of Engineering whereby we have agreed to pay $115,000 per year.  Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2008 we issued 400,000 shares of 6% Series A Non-Convertible Preferred Stock as payment on accrued wages to Mr. Cole, which had a fair market value of $150,000 at the time of their issuance.

19

Prior to changing our business focus in the second quarter of 2007, we did not experience high salary expenses as a result of our former officer not being paid a salary.

Net Operating (Loss):

The net operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3,662,720 versus a net loss of $746,575 for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was an increase in net loss of $2,916,145 or 391%.  Our total expenses increased as a result of our transition into a new business pursuit during the second half of 2007, which has continued through the current period.  Ultimately we have had over all increases in all of our expenses when comparing the two years, with our largest increases being professional fees and general and administrative expenses.  These additional expenses attribute to the higher net operating loss. As we continue in our new pursuit of business, we anticipate we will continue to incur increases in our expenses than previously experienced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007.

Working Capital (Deficit)
  $ (829,283 )   $ (625,488 )   $ 203,795       33 %

Cash used in our operating activities totaled $679,564.  Although our cash increased during the fourth quarter of 2008 to $71,660 in cash, this is not enough to sustain operations.  Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the expansion of our business in the energy efficient products, established sales of these products, addition of new revenue sources, cost and availability of third-party financing for development, and the legal and administrative expenses.  As we expand our activities in a new business plan, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations.

During the second quarter of 2008 we issued 400,000 shares of 6% Series A Non-Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. James Cole as payment of his accrued wages.  The Preferred Stock carries a mandatory 12-month redemption clause in which the shares may be redeemed for cash at a rate of $0.60 per share.  Additionally, the holder of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a preferred dividend at a rate of 6% per annum, which will be cumulative and may be paid in cash or additional shares of Preferred Stock at a price equal to $0.38 per share.

During the third quarter of 2008, we conducted a private placement of our shares to accredited investors whereby we sold shares at a price of $2.00 per share and raised approximately $108,000.  During the fourth quarter of 2008, we conducted a private placement of our shares to an accredited investor whereby we sold shares at a price of $0.60 per share and raised approximately $50,400.

20

Notes Payable

Further, our indebtedness is comprised of various secured and unsecured notes intended to provide capital for the ongoing manufacturing of our tankless water heaters.  As of December 31, 2008 we had one unsecured note due on demand to a related party for $226,500.  Additionally, we executed three unsecured promissory notes in August for a total of $200,000 that carry a 10% interest rate.  These notes all mature in August of 2009.  In accordance with the terms of default, if the note has not been repaid, we have agreed to issue on the date of maturity restricted shares of our common stock at a price equal to the lesser of 70% of the volume weighted average price of the 30 day average closing price per share as quoted by Bloomberg LP or equivalent quotation system as satisfaction for the note.

We also executed two secured convertible notes in December 2008.  The first convertible note is for $30,000 and carries a 12% interest rate.  The principal is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to 50% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock 10 days prior to conversion.  The note is secured by our fixed assets and 60,000 shares of our common stock, which is to be issued upon an event of default.  The second convertible note is for $100,000 and carries an 8% interest rate.  The principal is convertible into shares of our common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to the lesser of 70% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock 10 days prior to conversion or $0.75 per share.  The note is secured by our fixed assets and 200,000 shares of our common stock, which is to be issued upon an event of default.

We believe the capital raised will be sufficient to fund our short term capital and liquidity needs.  However, it is anticipated that we will need to sell additional equity, debt securities, obtain credit facilities from financial institutions or generate significant earnings from our operations to meet our long-term liquidity and capital requirements.

We anticipate we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. To address these risks, we must, among other things, develop products in our new line of business, eventually obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.

During the 2008 year, we capitalized our company with loans from officers and related parties, which had been used for operational expenses in addition to executing promissory notes and convertible notes.  As of December 31, 2008, we had outstanding unsecured loans due on demand with a related party of $226,500.  Additionally, we executed three unsecured promissory notes for $200,000 and two convertible notes for a total of $130,000 that mature in August and December 2009.

Prior to changing our business line in the second quarter of 2007, the Company had originally received its initial capitalization through the sale of our common stock registered under an SB-2 registration in the amount of $98,000. We utilized those funds for our corporate organization, payment of audit fees, inventory purchases, general and administrative expenses, and payment of employee salaries.

As of December 31, 2008, we had available cash of $71,660, which will not be enough to pursue our energy efficient product line of business.  With the intention to pursue a line of business focused on energy efficient products during the next twelve months we plan to seek financing opportunities.  We plan to seek additional funding for operations through equity and/or debt or other means that may become available to us.  If we are not able to receive any additional funds, we cannot continue our proposed business operations.

Summary of product and research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan.

We anticipate contracting with outside engineering firms to provide the necessary research and development for our new line of business in energy efficient products as needed.  However, at this point in time, we are unable to estimate how much those costs may be.

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

As we engage in our proposed line of business of energy efficient products, we will need to purchase and install assembly fixtures and equipment over the next twelve months.  We anticipate we will need benches, fixtures, hand tools, and other material handling equipment; however, the exact amount is unknown at this point in time.  However, we did acquire some equipment related to the production of the Viridian Tankless Water Heaters as a result of the Merger with Noble Systems during the second quarter of 2008.

Significant changes in the number of employees.

We entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, James A. Cole during the second quarter of 2007.  The agreement is for a three year term and we agreed to pay Mr. Cole a base salary of $180,000 for the first year, $198,000 for the second year, and $218,000 for the third year of employment.  Also, during the second quarter of 2007, we executed an employment agreement with L. Fred Huggins, to serve as our Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  Mr. Huggins agreed to serve in this position for two years and we agreed to compensate him a base salary of $150,000 per year.  Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008, Mr. Huggins resigned from his position.

22

During the first quarter of 2008, we entered into a two year employment agreement with a Director of Engineering, whereby the Company has agreed to annual compensation of $115,000 in addition to an allowance of $500 to $1,000 for individual health insurance until the Company can establish a group plan for its employees.  As we continue under our proposed line of business, we may need to hire additional employees.  In the interim, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when appropriate. We believe the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to contain general and administrative expenses.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations based on the development of products that can be sold.  We intend to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of our cash position, however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities should we be unable to continue in existence.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed material.

Critical Accounting Policies

Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) during the fourth quarter of 2005. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $3,544,947 and $108,750 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

During May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162”). FAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation and presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement will be effective 60 days after the Securities and Exchange Commission approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of ‘Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles’. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FAS 162 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
During March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 161”). This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and will be applicable to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 8.                      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

See Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules appearing on page F-1 through F-29 of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 9.                      CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
We have had no disagreements with our independent auditors on accounting or financial disclosures.

ITEM 9A(T).              CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, James Cole, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.  Based on that evaluation, Mr. Cole concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, which are discussed below in more detail, in timely alerting him to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

24

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control, as is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable.  There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls.  Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made and in accordance with our management and directors authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008 for the following reasons.

·  
We do not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties.
·  
All of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial consultant.
·  
We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.

We intend to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring of additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.

The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosures, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

25

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No Executive Officer or Director of the Corporation has been the subject of any Order, Judgment, or Decree of any Court of competent jurisdiction, or any regulatory agency permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring suspending or otherwise limiting him/her from acting as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in the securities industry, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of an investment company, bank, savings and loan association, or insurance company or from engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with any such activity or in connection with the purchase or sale of any securities.

No Executive Officer or Director of the Corporation has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or is the subject of a criminal proceeding which is currently pending.

Currently, Mr. Cole, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, has been named in Mr. Huggins’ countersuit against the Corporation and is the subject of a pending legal proceeding although a motion to have Mr. Cole dismissed has been filed.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of an issuer's common stock, which has been registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of December 31, 2008, they were all current in their filings.

28

Code of Ethics

A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

(1)  
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
(2)  
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;
(3)  
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
(4)  
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
(5)  
Accountability for adherence to the code.

We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Our decision to not adopt such a code of ethics is a result of having only two officers and one director operating as the management for the Company.  We believe that the limited interaction which occurs having such a small management structure for the Company eliminates the current need for such a code, in that violations of such a code would be reported to the party generating the violation.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has concluded that Director, James Cole is not independent in accordance with the director independence standards of the American Stock Exchange.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter.  Our Board of Directors performs some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee.  We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are an initial-stages operating company with limited operations and resources.

Director Nomination Procedures

29

Generally, nominees for Directors are identified and suggested by the members of the Board or management using their business networks.  The Board has not retained any executive search firms or other third parties to identify or evaluate director candidates in the past and does not intend to in the near future.  In selecting a nominee for director, the Board or management considers the following criteria:

1.  
whether the nominee has the personal attributes for successful service on the Board, such as demonstrated character and integrity; experience at a strategy/policy setting level; managerial experience dealing with complex problems; an ability to work effectively with others; and sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company;
2.  
whether the nominee has been the chief executive officer or senior executive of a public company or a leader of a similar organization, including industry groups, universities or governmental organizations;
3.  
whether the nominee, by virtue of particular experience, technical expertise or specialized skills or contacts relevant to the Company’s current or future business, will add specific value as a Board member; and
4.  
whether there are any other factors related to the ability and willingness of a new nominee to serve, or an existing Board member to continue his service.

The Board or management has not established any specific minimum qualifications that a candidate for director must meet in order to be recommended for Board membership.  Rather, the Board or management will evaluate the mix of skills and experience that the candidate offers, consider how a given candidate meets the Board’s current expectations with respect to each such criterion and make a determination regarding whether a candidate should be recommended to the stockholders for election as a Director.  During 2008, the Company received no recommendation for Directors from its stockholders.

Audit Committee

Currently, we do not have an Audit Committee.  At this time, the board of directors will perform the necessary functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; review of the financial statements and other required regulatory financial reporting; and reviewing management’s policies and procedures in connection with its internal control over financial reporting.

Additionally, we do not have a financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.  However, at such time the Company has the financial resources a financial expert will be hired.

Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a compensation committee of the board of directors.  Until a formal committee is established our board of directors will review all forms of compensation provided to our executive officers, directors, consultants and employees, including stock compensation.  The Board makes all compensation decisions for the Executives and approves recommendation regarding equity awards to all elected officers of Noble. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other executive officers are made by the Board.

30

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Board believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by Noble, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of Noble and only having two executive officers, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends on establishing a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that Noble maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. The Board believes executive compensation packages provided by Noble to its executives, including the named executive officers, should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.

Stockholder Communications

Any shareholder communications to the Board should be forwarded to the attention of the Company’s Secretary at our offices at 3044 North 33rd Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85017.  Our Secretary will review any communication received from a shareholder, and all material communications from shareholders will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors, or other individual directors as appropriate.

ITEM 11.                    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by our executive officer, James A. Cole, and our vice president of sales and marketing, L. Fred Huggins, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Additionally, we have included our previous executive officer, Michael Evangelista, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

ITEM 12.                                SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table presents information, to the best of our knowledge, about the beneficial ownership of our common stock on March 31, 2009, held by those persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of our capital stock and by our directors and executive officers.  The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 12,593,340 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2009.

34

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power. It also includes (unless footnoted) shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days after March 31, 2009 through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, however, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has converted options or warrants into shares of our common stock.

ITEM 13.                                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

James Cole

The Company repaid approximately $140 of previous loans to its Chief Executive Officer, James Cole in the second quarter of 2008 due to the consolidation of the Noble Systems, Merger, whereby Mr. Cole was also the sole officer and director of Noble Systems.  As a result of the merger with Noble Systems, $68,824 in a note payable offset the $68,824 note receivable to Noble Systems.

Furthermore, during the second quarter of 2008, we issued 8,079 shares of its common stock as a bonus for services performed by Mr. Cole as well as issued 400,000 shares of its 6% series A non-convertible preferred stock as payment on accrued wages. The shares carry a mandatory 12-month redemption clause in which the shares may be redeemed for cash at a rate of $0.60 per share.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we issued a total of 20,000 shares of free trading common stock to the Company’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing as payment in lieu of cash on accrued salaries.

Significant Shareholders

In April 2008, we issued 3,900 shares valued at $117,000 as repayment on previous loans from significant stockholders to fund current operations.  In addition, we issued 22,525 shares of our common stock as financing costs for services provided to these significant stockholders.

During the third quarter of 2008, we granted 250,000 options upon the execution of a consulting agreement with significant shareholders, whereby the options are exercisable at $0.40 per share over a five year term as well as granted 25,000 options as part of a consulting agreement to significant shareholders, exercisable at $1.00 per share over a five year term.  The terms of the agreement require an additional 75,000 options to be issued in increments of 25,000 shares every ninety days thereafter.  Additionally, we issued 250,000 free trading S-8 shares, valued at $1,375,000 for consulting services by significant shareholders.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we issued 150,000 shares of its free trading common stock to significant shareholders in accordance with a consulting agreement for services rendered.

During the year ended, 2008, we also received net proceeds of $226,500 from significant shareholders to fund current operations. These unsecured promissory notes are non-interest bearing and due on demand.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
I have audited the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Noble Innovations, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
 
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My 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, I express no such opinion. My audits of the financial statements include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
 
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Noble Innovations, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Noble Innovations, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Noble Innovations, Inc. suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 – Nature of business and significant accounting policies

Nature of business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in September of 2002 as XSInventory. In February 2003, we formed Creative Excess, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary, to become an online liquidator of products through eBay. On May 16, 2007, we obtained majority consent of our stockholders and changed our name from XSInventory to Noble Innovations, Inc. (“Noble”) in anticipation of changing our business plan.
 
In 2007 we discontinued our previous business plans to pursue energy efficient technology that is classified as “green” in nature. On May 16, 2007, we appointed James A. Cole to serve as our new Chief Executive Officer of the Company as well a member of the board of directors. On June 18, 2008 we acquired Noble Systems, Inc. (NSI) to acquire certain patents related to the technology used in the modular heating system of tank-less water heaters (See Note 3). Through these changes, our management intends to pursue and develop products that utilize energy efficient technologies. Our first product and focus has been on the development of a commercially viable tankless water heating system. The Company is in the process of developing the production process and anticipates being able to bring the product to market in 2009.

Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US currency have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company is considered to be in the development stage as substantially all efforts are being directed towards the research and related development of energy efficient “green” technology and the Company has not generated revenues from these principal business activities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Creative Excess, Inc. ("Creative"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. In 2008 and 2007, no impairment losses were identified.
 
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company performs an annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The Company operates in one operating segment, and this segment comprises its only reporting unit. Impairment losses were identified and expensed in the amount of $48,274,161 and $-0- at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively (See Note 15).

Income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist principally of cash, trade and notes receivables, trade and related party payables and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:

Manufacturing equipment
7 years
Office equipment
3-7 years

Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which have extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Advertising Costs
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $37,312 and $44,365 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Basic and diluted loss per share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For 2008 and 2007, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Stock-based compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) during the fourth quarter of 2005. Stock and stock options issued for services and compensation totaled $3,544,947 and $108,750 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 (“FSP 157-1”) and FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-1 amends FAS 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. These nonfinancial items include assets and liabilities such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and nonfinancial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and was adopted by the Company, as it applies to its financial instruments, effective January 1, 2008. The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 in its determination of estimated fair values as of December 31, 2008, and assessed there was no impact (See Note 16).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
During May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162”). FAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation and presentation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement will be effective 60 days after the Securities and Exchange Commission approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of ‘Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles’. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FAS 162 will have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
During March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 161”). This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. It is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and will be applicable to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any; the adoption of FAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the de-consolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principals and requirements for how an acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. This statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Note 2 – Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its product line, and incurred substantial costs and expenses in those efforts. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from September 27, 2002, (inception) through the year ended December 31, 2008 of $53,608,609, had a working capital deficiency of $829,283 at December 31, 2008, and have realized a net deficit from cash used for operating activities of $1,049,983 from September 27, 2002, (inception) through the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through equity financing.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities.

Note 3 – Business combination

On June 18, 2008 the Company entered into an acquisition agreement and plan of merger whereby the Company acquired the remaining 95% outstanding interest of Noble Systems, Inc. (NSI) in exchange for stock on a 1.15 to 1 basis, resulting in the issuance of 11,498,107 shares.  The fair market value of the shares was $47,717,144. The Company had acquired the original 5% interest from an NSI shareholder on April 17, 2008 in exchange for 600,000 shares of common stock at a fair market value of $660,000.

The merger provides Noble with valuable intellectual property that is an integral part of our business and will continue to be so through the duration of the patent.  NSI has applied for a patent that consists of technology used in the modular heating system of tank-less water heaters.  This patent was first applied for in May of 2008 under application number 12/151,675 and Noble will continue with the application process and have the patent assigned from NSI to Noble.

Pursuant to SFAS 141 (R), the Company has recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

1 The fair value of the 600,000 common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for 5% of NSI was determined on the basis of the closing market price of NII’s common shares on the issuance date of April 23, 2008.
       
2 The fair value of the 11,498,129 common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for the remaining 95% of NSI was determined on the basis of the closing market price of NII’s common shares on the acquisition date of June 18, 2008.
       
3 The consideration paid in excess of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated towards the identifiable intangible patents acquired. The estimated net future cash flows from these patents are deemed to be approximately $3,000,000 annually based on management’s opinion at the time of acquisition.

In accordance with APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, the Company allocated the total proceeds between the convertible debt and the stock issuances (which are recorded as additional paid-in-capital) based on the relative fair values of the two securities at the time of issuance. The aforementioned allocation resulted in a discount on the convertible debt.

The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a bifurcation of the total proceeds received of $130,000 between the value attributed to the debt of $98,104 and the value attributed to the common stock issued of $31,896.

In addition, in accordance with EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”(“EITF 98-5”) and EITF No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF 00-27”), the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debt, by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price between the detachable common stock issued and the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.

The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to ($132,818). The discount is amortized over a one-year period, from the date of issuance until the stated redemption date of the debt.

According to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the estimated number of shares that would be received upon conversion was 550,639 shares at December 31, 2008.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded financial expenses in the amount of $36,995 and $-0-, respectively, attributed to the amortization of the aforementioned debt discount.

As of December 31, 2008, no shares were issued pursuant to debt conversion.

A beneficial conversion discount valued at $64,426 was recorded against the debt to present the bifurcation of the conversion feature between debt and equity. Amortization expense of $2,648 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, and the unamortized balance of the beneficial conversion feature was $61,778 at December 31, 2008. In addition, the 25,000 shares of common stock were valued at $21,569 and are being amortized over the life of the loan. Finance expense of $887 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2008, and the unamortized balance of the finance cost was $20,682 at December 31, 2008 (See Note 9).

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. During 2008 and 2007, there were no options granted with an exercise price below the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.

The weighted average fair value of options and warrants granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during the year ended December 31, 2008 was approximately $0.45 per option, or warrant.

Note 13 – Deferred income

Deferred income represents deposits received on future sales expected to be shipped in the near term, and amounted to $39,078 and $18,428 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 14 – Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”), which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. The Company had approximately $4,645,000 of federal net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2008. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2022.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

   
As of December 31,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
             
Deferred tax assets:
           
  Net operating loss carry forwards
  $ 1,625,750     $ 276,000  
                 
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance
    1,625,750       276,000  
  Less: Valuation allowance
    (1,625,750 )     (276,000 )
    Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

A reconciliation between the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable U.S. and State statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

Note 15 – Impairment charges

In 2008, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $48,274,161 as a result of impairment of the intangible patent asset that was acquired and recorded as goodwill during the acquisition of Noble Systems, Inc. (See Note 3). Delays in certifying the patent pending and uncertainties in utilizing the patents to bring related products to market have not resulted in the expected returns, as such, we are unable to estimate the potential revenues with a comfortable level of certainty. Additionally, the business continues to face economic challenges, as the housing market in the United States has suffered an economic slow down. The Company is continuing to try to finalize the patent and develop its product for consumer use in the housing market. As a result of these factors, management performed the required impairment tests and determined that an impairment charge was required. The Company used the discounted cash flows method to determine the estimated fair market value of the intangible asset. Using a conservative estimate of future discounted cash flows, it was determined that the majority of the intangible asset value was impaired. Given uncertainties in the housing market and the ability to get the pending patent accepted management decided to impair the entire asset value.

Note 16 – Fair value of financial instruments

The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and SFAS 157 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash and notes payable. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, with the exception of intangible assets. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
 
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

Nobel Innovations, Inc.
 (Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
 
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Total
  $ 423,682     $ -     $ -     $ 423,682  

As the notes payable were issued late in 2008, the Company believes that the market rate of interest as at December 31, 2008 was not materially different to the rate of interest at which the notes payable were issued. Accordingly, the Company believes that the fair value of the notes payable approximated their carrying value at December 31, 2008
