PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
     This annual report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
     Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
     Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
     As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company”, “Acorn” and “Valentec” means Valentec Systems, Inc. (which operated under the name Acorn Holding Corp. until April 10, 2006) and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Valentec Operating Corp. The term “Subsidiary” refers to Valentec Operating Corp., which previously operated under the name “Valentec Systems, Inc.” until April 10, 2006.
General
     The Company formerly was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 8, 1983. In fiscal year 2002, the Company operated as a holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary, Recticon Enterprises, Inc. (“Recticon”), and its principal business was the derivation of earnings from the operation of Recticon. Recticon manufactured two, three, four, five and six-inch monocrystalline silicon wafers, which were used by university research departments and microelectronic manufacturers. On June 23, 2003, the Company announced that Recticon had been advised by Recticon’s principal customer that the demand for Recticon’s products would not increase and there would be a sharp erosion in the price for such products going forward. The Board of Directors of Recticon and the Company determined that, since the Company did not have the financial resources to sustain the anticipated operating losses of Recticon and to try to limit the further erosion of Recticon’s assets, the management of Recticon was authorized to liquidate the assets of Recticon. As of December 31, 2003, all Recticon assets were liquidated and the Company became a public shell and remained a public shell until its acquisition of Valentec Operating Corp. (formerly Valentec Systems, Inc.) on June 6, 2005. As a result of the acquisition, Valentec Operating Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the principal business of Valentec became the derivation of earnings from the operation of the Subsidiary.
     Valentec Operating Corp., the Subsidiary, was incorporated in Delaware on May 1, 1998. Valentec Operating Corp. designs, develops, manufactures, and sells ammunition and light weapons for military use. From January 1998 through January 2006, the Subsidiary’s business involved manufacturing armaments and providing property management services to the United States Army by maintaining the Army’s Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant and recruiting new tenants. This work involved infrastructure maintenance and evaluation of environmental considerations and physical security. However, beginning in 2003, Valentec began devoting significant time and money to realign its business to focus on more profitable business segments such as Systems Management/Systems Integration, Energetic Manufacturing and Metal Parts Manufacturing.

Table of Contents

     In order to build a strong strategic portfolio and to improve profitability, Valentec has focused on the following growth strategies and objectives:
    Enhance marketing and business development in foreign government agencies to increase sales and backlog.
 
    Acquisitions that complement existing operations.
 
    Capitalize on our systems management and systems integration experience with Soltam Systems and the Israeli Defense Forces to market the same capability to the United States Army.
 
    Expand energetic manufacturing from current 40mm to 105mm and 155mm.
Recent Developments
     On April 10, 2006, after receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to a written consent, the Company (1) changed its name to Valentec System, Inc. on April 10, 2006 and (2) the capital stock of the Company was increased to 260,000,000 shares, with 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock.
     The Company entered into an employment agreement with Robert A. Zummo effective as of January 1, 2006. The terms and conditions of this employment agreement are set forth in “Item 10. Executive Compensation.
     Also, on April 10, 2006, the Company changed the name of its operating subsidiary from Valentec Systems, Inc. to Valentec Operating Corp.
Description of Business
     Valentec’s current business pursuits are categorized into 3 major product lines: Systems Management/System Integration, Energetic Manufacturing, and Metal Parts Manufacturing. These product lines are operated by Valentec Operating Corp.
Systems Management / Systems Integration
  120MM Mortar Weapon System with Electronic Fire Control — “KESHET”
     Valentec was awarded a system contract from Soltam Systems, Inc., a related party, for the production and integration of RMS6 120mm Mortar Weapon System for the Israeli Defense Forces (“IDF”) using U.S. Foreign Military Financing as described herein on page five. The mortar weapon system will be fitted with an Electronic Fire Control System and will be integrated into the M1064A3 Mortar carrier as well as the towed platform. Valentec Systems Inc. successfully completed assembly of the first RMS6 Mortar Weapon. Valentec anticipates that the remaining 81 RMS6 Mortar Weapons will be assembled and delivered in 2007.
     Keshet (Hebrew for bow) 120mm self propelled mortar contains state of the art command, control and communication devices and offers infantry and armor commander unique enhanced operational capabilities. Improvements in inertial navigation systems further enhance the accuracy in target and weapon location and, combined with a more sophisticated laying system, it greatly increases the accuracy of mortar ammunition delivery. We believe that our 120mm Mortar Weapon System offers significant advantages in firepower, area coverage, tactical mobility, flexibility and survivability.
     The program consists of technology transfer, configuration control, procurement, assembly, integration and testing of the 120MM Mortar Weapon System with Electronic Firing Control. It is anticipated a total of 82 complete integrated systems and 12 equivalent spare parts of the system will be delivered under this contract to the IDF for approximately $16,745,000. Valentec Systems Inc. was awarded an additional contract in March 2007 for the integration of the RMS6 Mortar Weapon into a 106AA3 Mortar Carrier and the modification of an ammunition carrier. The contract is valued at approximately $3.6 million.

Table of Contents

     Valentec has placed purchase orders with two forging houses and four other prime vendors for major subcomponents and has also placed numerous purchase orders with a host of smaller vendors for the parts necessary to assemble the system. Subcomponent deliveries have been timed to ensure an arrival that closely coincides with Valentec’s production schedule, yet leverages quantity and bulk buys.
     Valentec is also responsible for the quality of all components and the reliability of each system. To this end, Valentec has tasked their vendors with a variety of tests and procedures intended to verify and validate compliance to specifications, functionality, and reliability. These tests include First Article Tests, fire control calibration tests, and function testing.
     Mortar Ammunition
     Valentec was awarded a 2-year systems integration and management contract in early 2005 from Soltam Systems to assemble and deliver mortar ammunition for the IDF using U.S. Foreign Military Financing. The mortar ammunition will be provided in 120mm, 81mm, and 60mm rounds with a contract value of approximately $20,000,000 over a two year period. The 120mm and 60mm were ordered with two different explosive fillers each and the 81mm was ordered in a single configuration for a total of five different rounds. Deliveries will begin in 4th quarter 2007.
     Mortars are used in the infantry or in a mechanized company against troops, light vehicles or similar targets or for incendiary and smoke spotting purposes. When a mortar round is loaded into the mortar firing system, it slides down the tube until a fixed firing pin at the bottom of the barrel ignites the ignition cartridge. The energy from the ignition cartridge ignites the propellant charge. Rapidly expanding gases from the burning propellant accelerates the round and launches it in its ballistic trajectory. The mortar is aerodynamically stabilized in flight by its fins. The fuse is armed after the projectile passes a minimum safe separation distance and, on impacting the ground, the fuse explodes the high explosive charge that shatters the shell body fragments, which are then propelled toward the target. Some mortars are designed to explode at a low height above the ground for maximum lethalness.
     Valentec has placed purchase orders with 11 prime vendors for major subcomponents and numerous purchase orders with a host of smaller vendors for the parts necessary to assemble the ammunition. Subcomponent deliveries have been timed to ensure an arrival that closely coincides with Valentec’s production schedule, yet leverages quantity and bulk buys.
     In addition to the procurement of necessary sub-components, Valentec is also responsible for the quality of these components and, of course, the quality and reliability of each mortar. To this end, Valentec has tasked their vendors with a variety of tests and procedures intended to verify and validate compliance to specifications, functionality, and reliability. These tests include First Article Tests, weight calibration and verification, and function testing. First Article Tests are required performance tests prior to acceptance by the U. S. Army.
     In support of this major production effort, additional manufacturing space was leased and equipped with unique fixtures and tooling. As 120mm, 81mm and 60mm mortar ammunition is not unique to the IDF, we believe the facilitization accomplished by Valentec for this program has positioned us well to compete successfully on future mortar ammunition contracts in domestic and overseas markets.
     In the Systems Management / Systems Integration segment, our sources and availability of raw materials present no unique challenges with the exception of obtaining M8M propellant from BMJ of Herzegovina. This requires import licensing for materials and export licenses for delivery of the complete product to Israel. Also, part of the State Department process mandates the provision of End User certificates. All of these requirements are known and actions are in process. Our primary suppliers for the Systems Management / Systems Integration projects are:
         
  BMJ Belgrade, Herzegovina   M8M Propellant
  Accurate Energetics, McCuen, TN   Explosive Loading
  Medico, Wilkes-Barre, PA   Metal Parts
  POCAL   Metal Parts

Energetic Manufacturing
     Our energetic business includes various flares and simulators with multiple end uses. The flares can be used for illumination and/or signaling. The simulators are used for training purposes to simulate a battlefield environment. In the flare work, we are a member of a team that in May of 2005 was awarded a planned 5-year procurement of 40MM flares. Valentec’s part of this award is to produce 40MM, M583, White Star Parachute, flares. We believe this opportunity has a potential value of up to $50 million over 5 years dependent on assigned option quantities. The option year quantities are totally dependent on the annual appropriation authorized by the U.S. Congress as supported by the user (Army, Navy, Marines) community.
     We believe that there are multiple additional areas/opportunities for pursuit in the pyrotechnic arena. We have successfully manufactured several test devices, which exhibit illumination and burn times that are significantly greater than specification requirements.
     Energetic Manufacturing requires appropriate licensing by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) before conducting any energetic operations. We believe that we have completed all known applications and obtained all known licences. Additionally, a safety site application must be presented to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for review and approval, which is complete and in place. Our primary suppliers are:
         
  GOEX, Inc., Minden, LA   Black Powder
  ATK, Radford, VA   Propellant
  Flexible Concepts, Elkhart, IN   Metal Component
  Woodlawn Manufacturing, Marshall, TX   Metal Component
  B & T Screw, Bristol, CT   Metal Component
  Spaulding Composites, Rochester, NH   Plastic Component
Metal Parts Manufacturing
     The current U.S. government metal parts work consists of a contract for 83,508 units of 105MM, M14B4, Spiral Wrapped Cartridge Case (SWCC). This contract value is approximately $3.25 million with completion anticipated in 2007. We believe there will be a significant foreign interest once the success of our program is realized. Valentec has produced a large volume of these products in the past. We believe that the cost of this product is significantly less than the more traditional drawn/forged cartridge case and exhibits more insensitive munitions (IM) value than the solid cartridge cases. We believe that the use of this design (SWCC) should provide Valentec an advantage for the upcoming 105MM Illumination round requirements for the U.S. Army.
     In addition, Valentec is evaluating several other metal part manufacturing opportunities, which will be procured in 2007 by U. S. Army.
     Metal parts manufacturing and more specifically the spiral wrap cartridge case has only 4 primary components, and no specialty materials. Further, there are no exceptional government approvals required. Our primary suppliers are:
         
  Vy-Comp, Shreveport, LA   Metal Components
  Northwest Stamping, St. Louis, MO   Metal Components
  Alta Max, New Orleans, LA   Packaging

Foreign Work
     Valentec’s foreign business pursuits are associated with two contracting methods, “foreign military sales” and “foreign military financing.” A description of each method follows.
    Foreign Military Sales
     The foreign military sales program is the government-to-government method of selling U.S.defense equipment, services, and training. The program is managed by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency within the U.S. Department of Defense. Valentec participates in the program as a known supplier to approved foreign governments through a marketing network established in the foreign countries. Department of Defense Manual 5105.38-M describes the specific details concerning the program requirements.
     The U.S. Department of Defense has launched a major effort to reform the current foreign military sales system and to ensure that this valuable program remains viable into the next millennium. This reform effort will focus on improving the foreign military sales system’s performance and adopting better business practices whenever possible. Currently, Valentec does not believe these anticipated changes will adversely affect its business. The foreign military sales program manages government-to-government purchases of weapons and other defense articles, defense services, and military training. The military of a foreign country buying weapons through the foreign military sales program does not deal directly with the business that manufactures the weapons, but rather, the Defense Department serves as an intermediary, usually handling procurement, logistics and delivery and often providing product support and training.
    Foreign Military Financing
     The foreign military financing program provides grants and loans to help foreign countries purchase U. S. produced weapons, defense equipment, defense services and military training through the foreign military sales program described above. On a much less frequent basis, foreign military financing also funds purchases made through the direct commercial sales program (described below), which oversees sales between foreign governments to private U.S. companies. Foreign military financing does not provide cash grants to other countries; it generally pays for sales of specific U. S.-manufactured goods or services through foreign military or direct commercial sales.
     The State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs sets policy for the foreign military financing program, while the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, within the Defense Department, manages it on a day-to-day basis. Security assistance organizations and military personnel in U.S. embassies overseas play a key role in managing foreign military financing within recipient countries. Congress appropriates funds for foreign military sales through the yearly Foreign Operations Appropriations Act.
     Foreign military financing exists primarily to fund arms transfers, as military training is normally granted through the International Military Education and Training Program. However, foreign military financing does support some of the training activities.
The Contracting Process
     Valentec has Marketing / Sales representation at two of its largest customer locations in the United States: (1) Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey and (2) the Joint Munitions Command in Rock Island, Illinois. These representatives keep Valentec informed as to any new business opportunities that are on the horizon that would fit into the company’s capabilities, and therefore, allows Valentec to conduct proposal activities prior to the actual receipt of any solicitation or request for a proposal. Typically, these solicitations or requests are of a “Best Value” evaluation criteria, meaning that the evaluation is based on many factors (not only price) such as past performance, quality assurance plans, manufacturing approach, etc. This kind of evaluation requires extensive proposal writing skills and we often use outside consultants who specialize in writing proposals that are responsive to the requirements of U.S. Government customers.

Table of Contents

     Typically, the U.S. Government allows 60 days for contractors to respond to their solicitations or requests for proposals. They, in turn, will take anywhere from 60 days or longer to conduct their evaluations and make the ultimate contract award. Most contracts are of a 12-month duration and require a First Article Test prior to the start of production. The U.S. Army has the ability to exercise option quantities under each contract.
     With regard to international sales, Valentec uses Valentec International Limited of the United Kingdom and Soltam Systems, Inc. (“Soltam”) of Israel to market its products and capabilities. Each of these business entities is controlled by shareholders of the Company. All of Valentec’s international business has been through either foreign military sales or direct sales to the foreign country. In either case, the customer must submit to Valentec an “End User Certificate” that states who the End User will be. That End User Certificate is submitted to the U.S. State Department along with an entire copy of the contract between Valentec and its foreign customer. For example, if Valentec has a contract with Soltam to supply both weapon systems and ammunition for mortars, and Soltam Systems, Inc. in turn, has a contract with the Israeli Defense Forces for the same product, then the Israeli Defense Forces would be the End User. Because funds for this procurement would likely involve U.S. military grant dollars to Israel, the products would have to be manufactured in the United States. Valentec would ultimately ship these products by sea to the required location. Or, if Valentec had a contract with Valentec International Limited to supply 40mm illuminating rounds of ammunition to a country other than Israel, through a direct sale; i.e., no foreign military funds, the requirements for End User Certificate would still apply before the U.S. State Department would approve the sale. The end product would be produced by Valentec and shipped directly to the foreign customer.
     Any and all foreign sales require End User Certificates and the U. S. State Department’s approval.
Customers
     Soltam Systems, Inc.
     Valentec has received an order from Soltam for the production and integration of the Keshet\RMS6 120mm Mortar Weapon System for the Israeli Defense Forces. The mortar weapon system will be fitted with an Electronic Fire Control System and will be integrated in to M1064A3 Mortar carriers as well as towed platforms. Delivery of the Mortar System will begin in the second quarter of 2007 and is anticipated to be completed in 2007.
     The Keshet 120mm self propelled mortar contains state of the art command, control and communication devices and offers infantry and armor commanders unique enhanced operational capabilities. Improvements in inertial navigation systems further enhance the accuracy in target and weapon location and, combined with a more sophisticated laying system, it greatly increases the accuracy of mortar ammunition delivery. We believe that the 120mm mortar system offers significant advantages in firepower, area coverage, tactical mobility, flexibility and survivability.
     The Keshet 120mm mortar is a Soltam design. The mortar weapon system will be produced at Valentec’s manufacturing facility in Minden, Louisiana. Valentec expects to complete this order in December 2007.
     The program consists of technology transfer, configuration control, procurement, assembly, integration and testing of a 120MM Mortar Weapon System with electronic firing control. It is anticipated that, a total of 82 complete integrated systems and 12 equivalent spare parts of the system will be delivered under this contract to Soltam Systems, Inc. which in turn will deliver them to the End User, the IDF.
     In addition, Valentec was awarded a 2-year systems integration and management contract in early 2005 from Soltam to assemble and deliver mortar ammunition to Soltam Systems, Inc. for delivery to the Israeli Defense Forces. The mortar ammunition will be provided in 120mm, 81mm, and 60mm rounds. The 120mm and 60mm were ordered with two different explosive fillers each and the 81mm was ordered in a single configuration for a total of five different rounds. Deliveries began in late 2006 and Valentec anticipates deliveries will be completed in December 2007.

     DSE, Inc.
     DSE, Inc., located in Tampa, Florida is a significant contractor for procurement of 40mm products. DSE, Inc. has ordered 266,816 40mm, M583 products from Valentec for deliveries in 2007 and 2008. Valentec expects to start the deliveries in May 2007. DSE, Inc. has been awarded U.S. Government Contract #W52P1J-05-O-0036. This contract pertains to the 40MM family of munitions and is projected to cover the next five years. Valentec has been named as the sub-contractor to produce the Illumination Rounds found in this contract. In the solicitation, the US Government estimated the annual requirement for Illumination Rounds would be 200,000 to 300,000 rounds per year. This would indicate substantial sales for Valentec dependent upon which option quantity the U.S. Government decides to procure.
     Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
     Valentec is currently fulfilling a contract received on assignment from Valentec International Limited to provide 250 M583A1 40mm illuminating parachutes and 500 M992 40mm IR and 200 40MM LV Smoke munitions for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We anticipate completion of this purchase order in the fourth quarter of 2007.
     U.S. Government
   Valentec is currently fulfilling contracts from the U. S. Army for multiple products.
    83,508 — Spiral Wrap Cartridge Cases M14B4
 
    3,904 — 40MM White Star Cluster M585
 
    266,816 — 40MM White Star M583
     The U. S. Army can exercise option quantities under each contract with Valentec.
Employees
Our current employees consist of the following:
           
  Management     9
  Accounting, Administrative, Contracts, Materials     7
  Quality/Technical     10
  Manufacturing     15
 
       
 
     Total Employees     41
     All employees are employed full time. Valentec currently has no collective bargaining agreements with its employees and believes that it has good relations with them. On December 28, 2004, prior to the expiration of the facilities management agreement with the Louisiana National Guard, certain employees involved in plant security duty were members of the International Guard Union of America (I.G.U.A.) Local 81. With the expiration of the agreement and the resulting loss of employment, these employees filed a union membership grievance with Valentec, which has been turned over to the American Arbitration Association. We believe that the claim is without merit and any ruling by the American Arbitration Association would have minimum impact on earnings. An arbitration hearing was held on March 5, 2007. On April 6, 2007, the Arbitrator ruled in favor of Valentec Systems, Inc. and denied all claims of the Union. Since arbitration decisions are final and not appealable, the decision concludes the Union Grievance litigation.
     Valentec sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan, which is categorized as a defined contribution plan. The plan is available to full time employees who meet the plan’s eligibility requirements.
     On January 7, 2007, Valentec adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan for the benefit of the employees, consultants and directors of the Company and of any affiliate thereof and reserved 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock designated for allocation under the plan. The reserved shares may be allocated under the plan either as (i) Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option, or (ii) Restricted Stock.

Competition
     Valentec’s competitors range from local firms to worldwide foreign and domestic firms depending on the business segment being considered. In general our competitors are better capitalized and more experienced than Valentec. Some competitive considerations for our business segments are as follows:
     
Business Segment   Competition
     
Systems Management / Systems Integration
  Mostly large businesses such as General Dynamics and Alliant Tech Systems.
 
   
Energetic Manufacturing
  All U.S. based small business firms with pyrotechnic capability. Primary competitors are: PSI, Inc., Martin Electronics, and Lance Ordnance.
 
   
Metal Parts Manufacturing
  Valentec is not aware of any competition for its current 105MM Spiral Wrap Cartridge Case.
Government Regulations
     In addition to all the federal laws regarding labor, safety and the environment, Valentec believes that it complies with all regulatory provisions that are identified in our various contracts. These provisions range from the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act, Public Law 105-261 (also known as the Buy American Act), to contracting with small disadvantaged business, to ozone depleting chemical prohibitions. In addition, Valentec is subject to regulations, which require it to discontinue operations pending root cause analysis and investigation associated with the occurrence of a critical defect. After ceasing operations, doing all the analytical work and discussing with multiple customer technical representatives, the contractor may be allowed to resume operations after implementation of all required corrective actions. Similar requirements will soon be added to all Department of Defense contract provisions; however, this requirement does not apply to foreign military sales or foreign military financing contracts.
Research and Development
     Valentec has a continuous program of product — process improvement and of maintaining manufacturing flexibility to allow the addition of new products and processes to existing facilities. In addition the company is introducing three new systems to improve performance:
1. Enterprise Resource System
Valentec began in 2005 the implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system to manage all phases of the business on an integrated database. Additional computer hardware was added to the system which automatically integrates Purchasing and Supplier Management Production Planning, Scheduling and Inventory Management in real-time. The information provided will drive corrective actions that will mitigate risks and ensure that the manufacturing process supports contractual delivery commitments. This process was halted in early 2007 pending results of our acquisition of MAST, as detailed below in item 6, with the possible utilization of an ERP System in place at MAST.
2. Six Sigma Implementation
The Company has begun in the first quarter of 2006 the introduction of Six-Sigma methodology for planning and manufacturing. Key management personnel are being trained by a staff Six-Sigma Green Belt regarding Six-Sigma principles and methodology and tools for the evaluation of manufacturing process improvements.

In addition, the Company’s staff Green Belt attended additional training in 2006 that resulted in his achieving Black Belt status. Follow-on training will then be provided to key individuals to develop them into Green Belts who will identify and lead process improvement projects throughout the life of a contract.
3. ISO-9000 Certification
The company is actively pursuing ISO-9000-2000 Certification. It is the company’s goal to be ISO 9000-2000 certified by year-end 2007. This certification was delayed in 2006 due to a catastrophic fire experienced on the 40MM production line of Valentec Systems Inc and the resources required for expedited recovery.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
     Environmental issues are no more difficult for munitions manufacturing than other energetics operations. However, to help with compliance, Valentec employs an environmental affairs coordinator to perform periodic operations audits and implement corrective actions and/or regulatory reporting, when required. Valentec does not anticipate that compliance with any laws or regulations relating to environmental protection will have a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
     Pursuant to a 1994 environmental class action settlement, Valentec Dayron Corporation (currently Valentec Systems) along with Boise Cascade Corporation, Dictaphone Corporation, Harris Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation, Medalist Industries, Inc and Rockwell International, Inc (herein Members) signed the Woodco Site Custody Account Agreement, dated October 5, 1994 as amended January 28, 2005 which established the “Woodco Site Custody Account” for the purposes of disbursing funds necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Members. Valentec’s current obligation is $3,474 in total for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Intellectual Property / Trade Secrets
     Valentec has not filed for any patents or trademarks. However, Intellectual property, trade secrets, proprietary rights and licenses are very important to product development and process improvements. Exclusive and non-exclusive licenses may be acquired from time to time. All salaried employees are subject to a confidentiality and non-compete agreement.
Investment Policies
     Our current policy is to acquire assets primarily for income purposes, although we may in the future determine to make investments for purposes of seeking capital gains. Currently, there are no policy limitations on the nature of investments that we may make or the percentage of our assets, which may be invested in any one investment or type of investment. We may change our policy regarding investments, from time to time, without approval of our stockholders.
RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Operations
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO SECURE NECESSARY EXPORT LICENSES, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS
     United States law requires that Valentec obtain a government-issued export license to ship its ammunition products to other countries for each order it receives. Valentec could be forced to decline an order from a customer due to refusal of the government to issue the export license. Such refusals would be based on actual or perceived deficiencies of the recipient country’s government or other reasons. Failure to obtain an export licenses for sales to

Table of Contents

Valentec’s traditional customer base could adversely affect our operations and financial results.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE PRODUCT FAILURES, SCHEDULE DELAYS OR OTHER PROBLEMS WITH EXISTING OR NEW PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS, ANY OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
     We may experience product and service failures, schedule delays and other problems in connection with the manufacture or delivery of our products. In addition to any costs resulting from product warranties, contract performance, or required remedial action, these failures may result in increased costs or loss of revenues due to postponement of subsequently scheduled product and service deliveries. Performance penalties could also be imposed should we fail to meet delivery schedules or other measures of contract performance.
OUR REVENUE CONTINUES TO BE CONCENTRATED AMONG A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS.
     A significant percentage of our revenue is concentrated among a relatively small number of end-user customers. During the last five (5) calendar years, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Government of Israel have provided the majority of our revenues, and currently we are substantially dependent on our contracts with Soltam. The loss of Soltam as a customer or the loss of any other significant customer or a substantial decrease in sales to such a customer would have a material adverse effect on our revenue and operating results.
OUR SUPPLIERS COULD BE LATE IN DELIVERY OF KEY SUPPLIES, WHICH WOULD DELAY OUR PRODUCTION AND HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS.
     Valentec’s operations are dependent on the ability of certain suppliers to deliver supplies on a timely basis. From time to time, we have experienced delays in receipt of needed supplies which has caused delays in Valentec’s production activities and which in turn has resulted in delays in recognition of revenue under the percentage of completion method of accounting.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO MANY FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL OPERATING RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE AND OUR STOCK PRICE TO BE VOLATILE.
     Our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly or annual operating results do not meet the expectations of the investor community, the trading price of our common stock could significantly decline. Some of the factors that could affect our quarterly or annual operating results include:
    the timing and amount of, or cancellation or rescheduling of, orders for our products;
 
    our ability to develop, introduce, ship and support new products and product enhancements and manage product transitions, announcements, and new product introductions;
 
    our ability to achieve cost reductions;
 
    our ability to achieve and maintain production volumes and quality levels for our products;
 
    the volume of products sold and the mix of distribution channels through which they are sold;
 
    the loss of any one of our major customers or a significant reduction in orders from those customers; and
 
    increased competition, particularly from larger, better capitalized competitors.
     Due to these and other factors, quarterly revenue, expenses and results of operations could vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE WILL DEPEND, IN PART, ON OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR BUSINESS GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW OR MANAGE SUCH GROWTH, WHICH MAY DIMINISH OUR CHANCES OF ACHIEVING PROFITABILITY.
     Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability to manage our business growth effectively. Towards that end, we will have to undertake the following tasks, among others:
  Effectively enhance our operating, administrative, financial, and accountings systems and controls;
  Establish and continuously improve coordination among our engineering, accounting, finance, marketing, and operations personnel; and
  Develop and continuously enhance our management information systems capabilities.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE PRODUCT FAILURES, SCHEDULE DELAYS OR OTHER PROBLEMS WITH EXISTING OR NEW PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS, ANY OF WHICH COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
     We may experience product and service failures, schedule delays and other problems in connection with the manufacture or delivery of our products. In addition to any costs resulting from product warranties, contract performance or required remedial action, these failures may result in increased costs or loss of revenues due to postponement of subsequently scheduled product and service deliveries. Performance penalties could also be imposed should we fail to meet delivery schedules or other measures of contract performance.
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GUARANTEE THAT CONTRACT ORDERS INCLUDED IN OUR ESTIMATED BACKLOG WILL RESULT IN ACTUAL REVENUES IN ANY PARTICULAR FISCAL PERIOD OR THAT THE ACTUAL REVENUES FROM SUCH CONTRACTS WILL EQUAL OUR ESTIMATED BACKLOG.
     There can be no assurance that any contracts included in our estimated backlog presented in this filing will result in actual revenues in any particular period or that the actual revenues from such contracts will equal our estimated backlog. Further, there can be no assurance that any contract included in our estimated backlog that generates revenue will be profitable.
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON KEY PERSONNEL WHO WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE AND WHOSE LOSS COULD IMPEDE OUR DEVELOPMENT.
     We are highly dependent on Robert A. Zummo and Stephen Shows to manage our businesses, and their knowledge of business, management skills and technical expertise would be difficult to replace. The loss of these key employees could limit or delay our ability to develop new products and adapt existing products to our customers’ evolving requirements and would also result in lost sales and diversion of management resources. Because of competition for additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to recruit or retain necessary personnel, which could impede development or sales of our products. Our growth depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified, experienced employees. There is substantial competition for experienced engineering, technical, financial, sales and marketing personnel in our industry. If we are unable to retain our existing key personnel, or attract and retain additional qualified personnel, we may from time to time experience inadequate levels of staffing to develop and market our products and perform services for our customers.
OUR EMPLOYEES MAY ENGAGE IN IMPROPER ACTIVITIES WITH ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES TO OUR BUSINESS.
     As with other government and other contractors, we are faced with the possibility that our employees may engage in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities that may have adverse consequences to our prospects and results of operations. Misconduct by employees could include failures to comply with U.S. federal government regulations, violation of requirements concerning the protection of classified information, improper labor and cost charging to contracts and misappropriation of government or third party property and information. The occurrence of any such employee activities could result in our suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. federal government, as well as the imposition of fines and penalties, which would cause material harm to our business.

DUE TO THE VOLATILE AND FLAMMABLE NATURE OF OUR PRODUCTS, FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS MAY DISRUPT OUR BUSINESS.
     Many of our products involve the manufacture and/or handling of a variety of explosive and flammable materials. These activities may result in incidents which may shut down or otherwise disrupt manufacturing processes, cause production delays and result in liability for workplace injuries and fatalities. On August 14, Valentec experienced a small detonation in an unattended (by personnel) granulation process at its Louisiana facility. This detonation occurred in a facility that had concrete walls and was self-contained, however, the resulting fire completely destroyed 75,000 square feet of space at this manufacturing facility, completely eliminating our existing 40mm flare capability. We were leasing this facility from the State of Louisiana and had obtained the required insurance coverage. Currently, we are engaged in ongoing discussions with the State of Louisiana concerning the responsibility for rebuilding of this 65-year old facility and for debris removal because some of the original construction material contains small amounts of asbestos. Valentec contends that the insurance coverage as required by the lease was in place and that such insurance should cover any liability on the part of Valentec. Valentec has safety and loss prevention programs which require detailed pre-construction reviews of process changes and new operations, along with routine safety audits of operations involving explosive materials, to mitigate such incidents, as well as a variety of insurance policies. However, Valentec cannot ensure that it will not experience similar incidents in the future or that any similar incidents will not result in production delays or otherwise have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Risks Related to our Industry
OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY REDUCTIONS OR CHANGES IN U.S. GOVERNMENT MILITARY SPENDING.
     Our business is substantially dependent on U.S. Government contracts. U.S. Government contracts are dependent on the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. As a result, at the outset of a major program, the contract is usually incrementally funded, and additional monies are normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as Congress makes appropriations for future fiscal years. In addition, most U.S. Government contracts are subject to modification if funding is changed. Any failure by Congress to appropriate additional funds to any program in which we participate, or any contract modification as a result of funding changes, could materially delay or terminate the program. These delays or terminations could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACT TO INCREASES IN COSTS DUE TO THE NATURE OF U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.
     Our U.S. Government contracts can be categorized as either “cost-plus” or “fixed-price.”
     Cost-Plus Contracts. Cost-plus contracts are cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-incentive-fee, or cost-plus-award-fee contracts. Cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts allow us to recover our approved costs plus a fixed fee. Cost-plus-incentive-fee contracts and cost-plus-award-fee contracts allow us to recover our approved costs plus a fee that can fluctuate based on actual results as compared to contractual targets for factors such as cost, quality, schedule, and performance.
     Fixed-Price Contracts. Fixed-price contracts are firm-fixed-price, fixed-price-incentive, or fixed-price-level-of-effort contracts. Under firm-fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform certain work for a fixed price and absorb any cost underruns or overruns. Fixed-price-incentive contracts are fixed-price contracts under which the final contract prices may be adjusted based on total final costs compared to total target cost, and may be affected by schedule and performance. Fixed-price-level-of-effort contracts allow for a fixed price per labor hour, subject to a contract cap. All fixed-price contracts present the inherent risk of unreimbursed cost overruns, which could have a material adverse effect on operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. The U.S. Government also regulates the accounting methods under which costs are allocated to U.S. Government contracts.

Table of Contents

OUR U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO TERMINATION.
     We are subject to the risk that the U.S. Government may terminate its contracts with its suppliers, either for its convenience or in the event of a default by the contractor. If a cost-plus contract is terminated, the contractor is entitled to reimbursement of its approved costs. If the contractor would have incurred a loss had the entire contract been performed, then no profit is allowed by the U.S. Government. If the termination is for convenience, the contractor is also entitled to receive payment of a total fee proportionate to the percentage of the work completed under the contract. If a fixed-price contract is terminated, the contractor is entitled to receive payment for items delivered to and accepted by the U.S. Government. If the termination is for convenience, the contractor is also entitled to receive fair compensation for work performed plus the costs of settling and paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other settlement expenses, and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed. If a contract termination is for default:
  the contractor is paid an amount agreed upon for completed and partially completed products and services accepted by the U.S. Government,
  the U.S. Government is not liable for the contractor’s costs for unaccepted items, and is entitled to repayment of any advance payments and progress payments related to the terminated portions of the contract, and
  the contractor may be liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO PROCUREMENT AND OTHER RELATED LAWS AND REGULATIONS, NON-COMPLIANCE WHICH MAY EXPOSE US TO ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
     We are subject to extensive and complex U.S. Government procurement laws and regulations, along with ongoing U.S. Government audits and reviews of contract procurement, performance, and administration. We could suffer adverse consequences if we were to fail to comply, even inadvertently, with these laws and regulations or with laws governing the export of munitions and other controlled products and commodities; or commit a significant violation of any other federal law. These consequences could include contract termination; civil and criminal penalties; and, under certain circumstances, our suspension and debarment from future U.S. Government contracts for a period of time. In addition, foreign sales are subject to greater variability and risk than our domestic sales. Foreign sales subject us to numerous stringent U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including regulations relating to import-export control, repatriation of earnings, exchange controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the anti-boycott provisions of the U.S. Export Administration Act. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in material adverse consequences to us.
General Risks
IF WE CANNOT OBTAIN THE NECESSARY SECURITY CLEARANCES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM CLASSIFIED WORK FOR THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND OUR REVENUES MAY SUFFER.
     Certain U.S. government contracts require our facilities and some of our employees to maintain security clearances. If we lose or are unable to obtain required security clearances, the client can terminate the contract or decide not to renew it upon its expiration. As a result, to the extent we cannot obtain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which, if not replaced with revenue from other contracts, could seriously harm our operating results.

BECAUSE WE SELL SOME OF OUR PRODUCTS IN COUNTRIES OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES, WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND OTHER CONDITIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN REDUCED SALES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
     Sales to customers outside the U.S. are subject to the political, economic, and other conditions affecting countries or jurisdictions other than the U.S., including the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Any interruption or curtailment of trade between the countries in which we operate and their present trading partners, change in exchange rates, a significant shift in trade policies or a significant downturn in the political, economic, or financial condition of these countries could cause demand for and sales of our products to decrease, cause disruption of our supply channels or otherwise disrupt our operations, cause our costs of doing business to increase, or subject us to increased regulation including future import and export restrictions, any of which could adversely affect our business.
WE MAY NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL ON TERMS UNFAVORABLE TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.
     Based on our current level of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations, together with amounts we are able to borrow under our existing lines of credit, will be adequate to meet our anticipated operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we do not have complete control over our future performance because it is subject to economic, political, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors affecting the defense and security industries. Further, our acquisition strategy will likely require additional equity or debt financings. Such financings could also be required to support our traditional and recently required operating units. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financings to fuel our growth strategy and support our existing businesses.
WE MAY MAKE ACQUISITIONS WHICH REPRESENT ADDITIONAL RISK AND COULD IMPACT OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL RESULTS.
     Our business strategy includes the potential for future acquisitions. Acquisitions involve a number of risks including integration of the acquired company with our operations and unanticipated liabilities or contingencies related to the acquired company. We cannot ensure that the expected benefits of any future acquisitions will be realized.
VALENTEC HAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF DEBT, AND THE COST OF SERVICING THAT DEBT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT VALENTEC’S BUSINESS AND HINDER VALENTEC’S ABILITY TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON ITS DEBT.
     Valentec has a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2006, Valentec had total debt of $13,546,699. In addition, Valentec had $70.000 of outstanding but undrawn letters of credit and, taking into account these letters of credit, an additional $883,301 of available credit under its revolving credit facility. Additional information on Valentec’s debt can be found in Item 7 of this report.
     Valentec has demands on its cash resources in addition to interest and principal payments on its debt, including, among others, operating expenses. Valentec’s level of indebtedness and these significant demands on Valentec’s cash resources could:
    make it more difficult for Valentec to satisfy its obligations,
 
    require Valentec to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its debt, thereby reducing the amount of cash flow available for working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes,
 
    Valentec’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the defense industries,
 
    place Valentec at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have lower debt service obligations and significantly greater operating and financing flexibility, result in an event of default upon a failure to comply with financial covenants contained in Valentec’s senior credit facilities which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on Valentec’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

    limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants applicable to Valentec’s indebtedness, among other things, Valentec’s ability to borrow additional funds, and
 
    increase Valentec’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions.
     Valentec’s ability to pay interest on and repay its long-term debt and to satisfy its other liabilities will depend upon future operating performance and Valentec’s ability to refinance its debt as it becomes due. Valentec’s future operating performance and ability to refinance will be affected by prevailing economic conditions at that time and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond Valentec’s control.
     If Valentec is unable to service its indebtedness and fund operating costs, Valentec will be forced to adopt alternative strategies that may include:
    reducing or delaying expenditures for capital equipment and/or share repurchases,
 
    seeking additional debt financing or equity capital,
 
    selling assets, or
 
    restructuring or refinancing debt.
There can be no assurance that any such strategies could be implemented on satisfactory terms, if at all.
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC’S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND THE NASD’S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
     Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
     In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced

securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
ITEM 2.   Description of Property
     Valentec conducts all operations on leased premises at 2629 York Avenue, Minden, Louisiana 71055. Valentec’s primary facility is leased from the State of Louisiana with a current term expiring in 2016 with renewal options available. Valentec negotiated a new lease during 2006 and reduced their monthly lease payment to approximately $17,841 per month in rent for its facilities for the next three years at which time it shall increase to approximately $24,845, which include manufacturing, storage and warehouse space plus igloos and administrative buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet. These facilities have undergone renovations and modifications for Valentec’s specialized operations, and Valentec believes these facilities are adequate for its current and future needs.
ITEM 3.   Legal Proceedings
     On December 28, 2004, former employees of the Company, who were members of the International Guard Union of America I.G.U.A. Local 81, filed a union membership grievance. The grievance alleges violation of the collective bargaining agreement in that Valentec did not provide severance pay upon the termination of the guards. In total, the grievance asks for approximately $30,000 in termination pay to be distributed among the affected guards. The dispute has been turned over to the American Arbitration Association. We believe that the claim is without merit and any ruling by the American Arbitration Association would have minimum impact on earnings. The arbitration hearing was conducted on March 5, 2007 and on April 6, 2007 ruled in favor of Valentec Systems Inc.
     Pursuant to a 1994 environmental class action settlement, Valentec Dayron Corporation (currently Valentec Systems, Inc.) along with Boise Cascade Corporation, Dictaphone Corporation, Harris Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation, Medalist Industries, Inc and Rockwell International, Inc (herein Members) signed the Woodco Site Custody Account Agreement, dated October 5, 1994 as amended January 28, 2005 which established the “Woodco Site Custody Account” for the purposes of disbursing funds necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Members. Valentec’s current obligation is $1,158 per year for ten years from the date of the Amendment above.
     On August 14, 2006, Valentec Systems, Inc. sustained a fire in its 40mm manufacturing facility. As a result of the fire, the Company experienced a loss of a significant amount of Machinery and Equipment, Inventory and Leasehold Improvements. The Company believed it had property insurance in the amount of $1,284,850. However in December 2006 the Company was notified by its Insurance Broker that the additional $249,850 in coverage requested and believed to be in place as of August 10, four days before the fire, had not been placed. The Broker claims they did not receive clear instructions as to when the additional coverage was to be made effective. Therefore on February 25, 2007, Valentec Systems, Inc filed suit against Moreman, Moore and Company, Inc and its agent Bryan Willis for damages suffered in the amount of $249,850 plus legal costs. The Company believes it has sufficient documentation to assert and sustain its claims against the defendants and is therefore confident in our ability prevail in the litigation.
     There is no other litigation or outstanding claims by or against the Company other than disputes arising in the ordinary course of business

     Equity Compensation Plan Information
     On January 7, 2007, Valentec adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan for the benefit of the employees, consultants and directors of the Company and of any affiliate thereof and reserved 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock designated for allocation under the plan. The reserved shares may be allocated under the plan either as (i) Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock Option, or (ii) Restricted Stock.
     Options granted under the plan to U.S. residents may qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. The exercise price for incentive stock options must not be less than the fair market value on the date the option is granted, or 110.0% of the fair market value if the option holder holds more than 10.0% of our share capital.

     On January 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company granted a total of 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The options were granted to several employees of the Company and are vested at a rate of 25% per year over 4 years.
     In connection with their service as directors, Mr. Yarborough and Mr. Cianciolo appointed in March 2007 as members of our Board of Directors will receive Valentec’s standard non-employee director cash and equity compensation in accordance with the form of engagement letter approved by Valentec’s Board of Directors, including an annual grant of option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Valentec under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan as long as the director holds such office in Valentec, subject to approval by the Board. The shares subject to this option will vest in four equal annual installments upon the completion of each year of board service measured from the grant date.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
     On June 6, 2005, the transactions contemplated under the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 27, 2005, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary and the two stockholders of the Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Stockholders”) were consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Subsidiary (i.e., 100 shares) in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Subsidiary Stockholders on a pro rata basis of 5,423,130 newly-issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock are restricted securities that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D.
     On August 19, 2005, Valentec completed a private placement of securities to each of Messrs. Zummo, Gilat, Matheson, and Kreizman pursuant to which each of Mr. Zummo and Mr. Gilat received Warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and each of Mr. Matheson and Mr. Kreizman received Warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The Warrants became exercisable immediately and expire on August 19, 2008.
     In connection with the private placement, Valentec relied on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Messrs. Zummo, Gilat, Matheson, and Kreizman represented to Valentec that they were “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated in the Securities Act and that they were receiving the Warrants for their own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof.
     Warrants issued to Board Members are defined in Item 11.
ITEM 6.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this annual report.
Discussion of Results and Plan of Operation
     As of December 31, 2003, the Company ceased its prior business operations and became a public shell and remained a public shell until its acquisition of Valentec Systems, Inc. which was completed on May 27, 2005 Thus, from December 31, 2003 until May 2005, the Company had no revenues from operations. However, the acquisition of Valentec Systems provided revenue and earnings beginning in 2005.

Table of Contents

     The acquisition of the Subsidiary by the Company has been accounted for as a purchase and treated as a reverse acquisition since the former owners of Valentec controlled 77.5% of the total shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Acquisition. On this basis, the historical financial statements prior to June 6, 2005 have been restated to be those of the accounting acquirer Valentec. The historical stockholders’ equity prior to the Acquisition has been retroactively restated (a re-capitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the Acquisition after giving effect to any difference in par value of the Common Stock and Valentec’s common stock. The original 100 shares of Valentec common stock outstanding prior to the reorganization have been reflected as an addition in the stockholders’ equity account of the Company on June 6, 2005.
     In 2006 we experienced a 3% increase in gross revenue over fiscal year 2005 from $19,015,978 to $19,624,883 despite the fact that we lost our 40MM production facility in August 2006 due to a fire in our Louisiana facility, which we were leasing this facility from the State of Louisiana. This line is anticipated to begin full production in April 2007. Gross margin decreased from 34.2% to 22.2%. EBITDA, before one time expenses, decreased 197% from $2,439,199 to ($2,362,436) and pre tax earnings decreased from $79,324 to ($6,002,440) after one time expenses.
     Energetic Manufacturing accounted for 14.1% of the gross revenue with Systems/Management Systems Integration and Metal Parts Manufacturing accounting for 80.5% and 5.4% respectively. The backlog at the end of the year was Energetic Manufacturing $1,661,019 (12.7%), Systems/Management Systems Integration $11,813,922 (87.3%) and Metal Parts Manufacturing $-0- (0.0%) for a total of $13,474,941
     Valentec plans to make investments in bids and proposal activity that, if successful, will significantly increase backlog, future sales and future profits. We intend to bid on new U. S. Army systems ammunition requirements as well as new energetic and metal component requirements. We also intend to make investments in automation equipment for the energetic production that may improve efficiencies and future profits.
     The Board intends to seek out other strategic acquisition candidates that could bring value added to Valentec in terms of increased revenue, profits, cost savings, management talent and diversification.
     Along with its acquisition strategy, Valentec is actively seeking financing alternatives for acquisitions, working capital, product development, marketing, and business opportunities. In this regard, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., (“Cornell”) whereby it can “put” to Cornell, for cash, up to $15 million in our common stock over a two-year period of time. Valentec has no obligation to “put” or draw on this facility and should more attractive financing alternatives become available we will thoroughly evaluate the best opportunities for the Company and its shareholders.
     In late 2006, Valentec Systems Inc. employed the services of an Investment Group, Carter Securities Inc. and Mallon and Associates, to assist in a Private Offering to raise capital for acquisitions, reduction of outstanding debt, working capital, marketing and business opportunities. In conjunction with pursuit of the Private Offering, Valentec entered in January 2007 into a binding term sheet to acquire MAST Technology, Inc. a Missouri based company hereinafter referred to as MAST, in a transaction structure yet to be formally determined, for $15 million in cash, stock and earn-out against future earnings. The term sheet expires on May 20, 2007. MAST is a manufacturer of ammunition and ordnance for the United States Government and other customers specializes in tight propellant charge tolerances and produces 40mm training practice rounds, igniters for demolitions and training and other specialty ammunition products. The transaction contemplated is subject to various conditions precedent and there can be no guaranty that the transaction will be completed..
     Valentec has entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with Rockland Credit Finance as an additional source of financing. A credit line of $10,000,000 has been established to provide additional working capital for our growth as well as assistance in the rebuilding of our production facility destroyed by fire in 2006. We plan to use the additional funding for facilitization and additional equipment needed to support the increased backlog.
     Valentec has retained the New York-based Public Relations firm of GW Communications. Mr. Glenn Wiener, President of GW Communications (212) 786-6011 will be the Account Manager of record. GW will work very close with Valentec’s Management and Board of Directors to provide a line of communication to shareholders, investors, the financial community and to the media. They will also provide important market feed back to support the Company’s strategic direction and operational performance.

     The Company is actively structuring its operation to become ISO 9000 compliant. We have on staff experienced professionals with ISO experience and Six-Sigma training.
Stock Compensation Expense
     On January 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company granted a total of 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The options were granted to several employees of the Company and are vested at a rate of 25% per year over 4 years. Because the Stock Options were not granted until 2007 no Stock Compensation Expense was recognized in 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had negative cash flow from operations of $6,499,164. On December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding borrowings (non-related party) of approximately $13,546,699. On December 31, 2006, the Company had total assets of approximately $25,950,749. This is an increase in total assets of $3,274,458 on December 31, 2005.
     The Company’s sources and uses of funds were as follows: (1) it used net cash of $6,499,164 in its operating activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006; (2) it received cash of $48,476 in investing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006; and (3) it received $6,519,239 from financing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, consisting primarily of the release of restricted cash and proceeds from the line of credit. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $10,043,206.
     The primary source of financing for the Company since its inception has been through the issuance of common stock and borrowings. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $150,429 as of December 31, 2006 and $81,879 as of December 31, 2005. The Company is actively seeking financing alternatives for working capital, product development, marketing, and business opportunities. In this regard, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell”), whereby it can “put” to Cornell, for cash, up to $15 million in the Company’s common stock over a two-year period of time. The Company believes this equity financing should increase its chances of succeeding in its growth plans. The Company anticipates that if it will decide to use the $15 million SEDA, it will enable it to support and fund expenditures for bids and proposals, capital equipment automation and acquisitions, as well as working capital growth. In order to make use of the SEDA, the Company had to first increase its authorized capital, become listed on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), what was already achieved, and register additional shares for public sale. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully comply with these conditions. Therefore, the Company continues to explore additional equity and debt financings, vendor-financing programs, letters of credit for manufacturing, leasing arrangements for its products, and equity participation for media purchases that will advertise its products. In late 2006, Valentec employed the services of an Investment Group, Carter Securities Inc. and Mallon and Associates, to assist in a Private Offering to raise capital for acquisitions, reduction of outstanding debt, working capital, marketing and business opportunities. Also, the Company believes that marketing and consumer awareness is central to generating monthly revenues. The Company believes that its products may have greater appeal to foreign consumers due to quality, performance and price.
     In 2005, the Company entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with Rockland Credit Finance as an additional source of financing. In 2006, the Company increased the credit line from $7,500,000 to $10,000,000 for the purpose of providing additional working capital for the Company. The Company has used the additional funding for facilitization and additional equipment needed to support the increased backlog as well as the rebuilding of Valentec’s 40MM production line destroyed by fire in 2006. The Company plans to pay off all other credit lines in the future with current revenue and cash on hand.
     The Company is indebted under notes payable to two stockholders of the Company. The notes bear interest at various rates based on prime rate per annum which was 8.25% as of December 31, 2006. In 2004, the two stockholders waived their right to interest under the notes and the Company recorded an in-kind contribution in the

amount of $33,705 which was included in the December 31, 2006 financial statements. The notes are due on demand and have an outstanding balance of $433,274 as of December 31, 2006.
     The Company had a line of credit from Bank One in the amount of $2,000,000 which accrued interest at a rate of Prime less 0.75%. The line of credit was secured by a letter of credit from a related company and personal property of a stockholder. In September 2006, Bank One called this line of credit and it was paid off in full by the letter of credit from the related company, Mikal LTD, and a loan obtained against the personal property of a stockholder from Rockland Credit Finance. In return, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 to each of the lenders payable on or before October 31, 2007.
     The Company has a line of credit from Bank Hapoalim in the amount of $4,000,000 accrues interest at a rate of Libor plus 1.75% (At December 31, 2006 7.10% per annum). The line of credit is secured by a letter of credit from a stockholder. At December 31, 2006 $3,930,000 was outstanding under this line.
     The Company has a line of credit from Bank Leumi in the amount of $500,000 accrues interest at a rate of 7.13% per annum. The line of credit is secured by a letter of credit from a stockholder. At December 31, 2006 $500,000 was outstanding under this line.
     The Company has a line of credit from Rockland Credit Finance with a facility limit of $10,000,000 accruing interest at 1% per month on outstanding balances plus Prime plus 2% per annum (at December 31, 2006 10.25%). The line of credit is secured under a Master Factoring Agreement which includes a line on all the assets of the Company. The total amounts available under the line vary based on the total billed and unbilled accounts receivable. The total available as of December 31, 2006 was $10,000,000 based on 70% of in-process receivables and 90% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2006, $9,116,699 was outstanding under this line. The line of credit agreement requires the company to submit monthly and annual financial reports and stay in compliance with various state and federal laws.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
     The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company re-evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     The Company believes the following are its critical accounting policies which affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
    Revenue recognition via the percentage of completion method
     Revenue Recognition via the Percentage of Completion Method. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and cost estimation on fixed price contracts for which we use the percentage of completion method of accounting.
     Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized on these contracts as work progresses during the period, based on the amount of actual cost incurred during the period compared to total estimated cost to be incurred for the total contract (cost-to-cost method). Management reviews these estimates as work progresses and the effect of any change in cost estimates is reflected in cost of sales in the period in which the change is identified. If the contract is projected to create a loss, the loss accrued for and is charged to operations beginning in the period it

23

first becomes known.
     Accounting for the profit on a contract requires (1) the total contract value, (2) the estimated total cost to complete, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract’s scope of work, and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. The estimated profit or loss on a contact is equal to the difference between the contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change, or if contract modifications occur. A number of internal and external factors affect our cost of sales estimates, including labor rates and efficiency variances, material usage variances, delivery schedules and testing requirements. While we believe that the systems and procedures used by the Company, coupled with the experience of the management team, provide a sound basis for our estimates, actual results will differ from management’s estimates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of completion method affect the amounts reported in our financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67,” SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,” and SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” were recently issued. SFAS No. 151, 152, 153 and 123 (revised 2004) have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on the financial statements. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Entities”, (FIN No. 46) an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk and loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. FIN No. 46 requires disclosures about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but which the company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements apply for newly formed variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and entities established prior to January 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 30, 2003. The adoption of FIN No. 46 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No,. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the effect of implementing this standard.
     In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
     In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative an qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for period ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s

first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
ITEM 7.   Financial Statements
     The responses to this Item are submitted in a separate section of this Report. See Index to the Financial Statements on page F-1 hereto.
ITEM 8.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
     On March 29, 2005, Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) advised the Company that it had resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. That determination was a decision of Grant Thornton and was not recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.
     The audit report issued by Grant Thornton on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that it did contain an explanatory paragraph for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002.
     During the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2004 through the date of this report, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     On April 14, 2005, the Company engaged Webb & Company as its principal independent accountant. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of Webb and Company as the Company’s principal independent accountant on April 4, 2005.
     On January 18, 2006, the Company subsidiary terminated Heard, McElroy & Vestal as the Company’s independent accountant due to Heard, McElroy & Vestal’s decision to not continue due to Valentec Systems, Inc. becoming a publicly traded company. Heard, McElroy & Vestal prepared the Company’s 2004 audited financial statements.
     On January 23, 2006, the Company engaged Webb & Company to continue as its principal independent accountant. The Board of Directors approved the appointment of Webb and Company as the Company’s principal independent accountant on January 23, 2006.
     During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 14, 2005, the Company did not consult with Webb & Company regarding either:
  (i)   the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that Webb & Company concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
 
  (ii)   any matter that was either subject of disagreement, as that term explained in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulations S-B and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-B, or an event, as that term is explained in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

ITEM 8A.   Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     The Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the Company’s chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the chief executive officer has concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed are sufficiently effective to ensure that such officer is provided with information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. However, due to recent changes in responsible financial reporting personnel and insufficient training, the implementation of said internal controls have been weakened to cause concerns as to their effectiveness. The Company’s chief executive officer has committed to ensuring sufficient training of responsible financial reporting personnel to correct said issue.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
     In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s last fiscal year, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have determined that due to changes in financial reporting personnel and inadequate training, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting have weakened and is reasonably likely to materially effect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. A plan has been enacted to ensure adequate training of financial reporting personnel to resolve any potential internal control weaknesses.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
     The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Director Compensation
     Each Director receives $250 per meeting plus travel expenses. Compensation is subject to change as new Directors are added to the Board. We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors, although such directors may in the future receive stock options to purchase Common Stock as awarded by our board of directors or (as to future stock options) a compensation committee which may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. No director received and/or accrued any compensation for their services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.
Committees of the Board
     We do not have a separate audit committee at this time. Our board of directors acts as our audit committee.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
     Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.
Section 16(a) Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding shock of the Company file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership in such common stock with the SEC. Officers, directors and stockholders who own more than 10% of the outstanding common stock of the Company are required by the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the knowledge of the Company, based solely on the review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2006, all officers, directors and 10% stockholders other than Avraham Gilat and Zvi Kreizman complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Code of Ethics
     Effective April 3, 2006, our board of directors adopted a preliminary Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our senior executives (being our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and senior vice presidents, as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

Table of Contents

  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 we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
 
  3.   compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
 
  4.   the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
 
  5.   accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
     Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our Senior Officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
     In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly Senior Officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any Senior Officer who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.
     Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this annual report on Form 10-KSB. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Valentec Systems, Inc., 2629 York Avenue, Minden, Louisiana 71055.
Corporate Governances
     The Board of Directors is currently reviewing but has not yet adopted a comprehensive corporate governance policy. As part of our review, we are currently examining our corporate governance and other policies and procedures. Following such examination, we expect to adopt Corporate Governances applicable to all directors, officers and employees.

Stock Option Grants and Values
     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, there were no stock option grants or stock appreciation rights granted to any of the Company’s officers or directors. Effective September 30, 2003, all previous executive officers and directors relinquished their rights to any unexercised stock options held by such under the Company’s stock option plans. In May 2005, the board of directors cancelled all outstanding options to purchase common stock. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, there were no exercisable or non-exercisable options held by any employee, officer, director or other person.
     On January 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company granted a total of 1,000,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The options were granted to several employees of the Company and are vested at a rate of 25% per year over 4 years.
     In connection with their service as directors, Mr. Yarborough and Mr. Cianciolo appointed in March 2007 as members of our Board of Directors will receive Valentec’s standard non-employee director cash and equity compensation in accordance with the form of engagement letter approved by Valentec’s Board of Directors, including an annual grant of option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock of Valentec under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan as long as the director holds such office in Valentec, subject to approval by the Board. The shares subject to this option will vest in four equal annual installments upon the completion of each year of board service measured from the grant date.

ITEM 12. Certain Relationships, Related Transactions and Director Independence
     Valentec regularly engages in business with Soltam and Valentec International Limited (VIL) and their affiliates. Avraham (Miko) Gilat, director of Valentec is the chair of Soltam and an indirect equity owner of Soltam Systems. VIL is controlled by directors Avraham (Miko) Gilat and Robert A. Zummo and is owned by Mr. Zummo and Soltam.
     Valentec is currently fulfilling orders from Soltam to provide 120mm Weapon Mortar Systems as well as 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm ammunition to the Israeli Defense Forces.
     Valentec had a line of credit that was guaranteed by Mr. Zummo and by Soltam. Mr. Zummo used personal property to guarantee $1,000,000 of the Line of Credit at Bank One and Soltam Systems put up a $1,000,000 Letter of Credit to use as collateral on the additional $1,000,000 Line of Credit at Bank One. During 2006 Bank One called this line of credit. Mikal LTD paid for the $1,000,000 guaranteed by Soltam Systems and Mr. Zummo arranged a loan for $1,000,000 with Rockland Credit Finance against personal property. In return, Valentec issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 to each of the lenders payable on or before October 31, 2007. Soltam has also put up a $500,000 Letter of Credit to guarantee a note at Bank Leumi in New York for a $500,000 Line of Credit for an aggregate Credit Line of $2,500,000.
     Valentec obtained loans from Soltam Systems and Robert A. Zummo. The loans to the Company were made in the amount of $400,000 each and were used for working capital in 2001. The balance due as of December 31, 2006 for each loan was $216,637 respectively.
     Valentec has a line of credit at Bank Hapoalim for $4,000,000 guaranteed by a letter of credit from Mikal Corporation in which Mr. Gilat is a controlling party.
     Valentec and Mikal have previously entered into a management fees arrangement, according to which Mikal is entitled to receive an amount of $324,000 per annum in consideration for management services provided by Mikal. The Board of Directors resolved that upon consummation of the transaction with MAST, Mikal annual management fees shall be $120,000.
     On March 13, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the entry into Indemnification Agreements (the “Indemnification Agreement”), between the Company and each of the directors and officers of the Company.
     Pursuant to the form of Indemnification Agreement, subject to the exceptions and limitations provided therein,

Table of Contents

Valentec has agreed to hold harmless and indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by Valentec’s certificate of incorporation, Bylaws and the Delaware law, and against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding arising out of their services as directors or officers, as applicable.
     We believe that all of the above transactions and arrangements were advantageous to us and were on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that future transactions or arrangements between us and our affiliates will be advantageous, that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect to these transactions or arrangements, or that if conflicts do arise, they will be resolved in a manner favorable to us. Any future transactions will be approved by a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our board of directors, outside the presence of any interested director and, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the board of directors, we will obtain fairness opinions or stockholder approval in connection with any such transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Valentec Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Valentec Systems, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Valentec Systems, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $10,043,206 and a negative cash flow from operations of $6,499,164. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 16. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
         
NOTE 1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
       
    (A) Organization
 
       
    Valentec Systems, Inc., f/k/a Acorn Holding Corp. (a holding company) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 8, 1983.
 
       
    Valentec Operating Corp. is an ammunition and systems integration company that provides ammunition to the United States Army and systems integration for foreign governments. The Company was incorporated on May 1, 1998 in the state of Delaware.
 
       
    On May 27, 2005, Valentec Systems, Inc. consummated an agreement with Valentec Operating Corp, pursuant to which Valentec Operating Corp. exchanged all of its 100 shares then issued, and outstanding shares of common stock for 5,423,130 shares or approximately 78% of the common stock of Valentec Systems, Inc. As a result of the agreement, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer Valentec Systems, Inc.
 
       
    Accordingly, the financial statements include the following:
 
       
 
  (1) The balance sheet consists of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost.
 
       
 
  (2)   The statement of operations includes the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the merger.
 
       
    Valentec Systems, Inc. f/k/a Acorn Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Valentec Operating Corp are hereafter referred to as (the “Company”).
 
       
    (B) 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for 2006 include amortization of development costs, estimation of cost to complete long term contracts, valuation allowance on deferred tax asset and allocation of overhead costs.
 
       
    (C) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
       
    For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with initial maturities of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005
     
    As of December 31, 2006, the Company does not have any balances in excess of federally insured limits.
 
       
    (D) Principles of Consolidation
 
       
    The 2006 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valentec Systems, Inc., f/k/a Acorn Holding Corp. and its subsidiary, Valentec Operating Corp. The 2005 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valentec Systems, Inc from May 27, 2005 and Valentec Operating Corporation. All significant inter company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
       
    (E) Inventory
 
       
    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
 
       
    (F) Property and Equipment
 
       
    Property and equipment are recorded at the original cost to the Company. Assets are being depreciated using the straight line balance method over predetermined lives of three to ten years.
 
       
    (G) Contract Revenue
 
       
    Revenue from fixed-price type contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion using the cost-to-cost method of accounting, with cost and estimated profits included in contract revenue as work is performed. If actual and estimated costs to complete a contract indicate a loss, a provision is made currently for the loss anticipated on the contract. Advance payments received are reported in the accompanying balance sheet as deferred revenue.
 
       
    Revenue from time and materials type contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed-upon billing amounts.
 
       
    Revenue recognized on contracts for which billings have not been presented to customers is included in the accounts receivable and in-process billings classification on the balance sheet.
 
       
    (H) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
       
    The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, lines of credit and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

    (I) Earnings Per Share
 
       
    Basic and diluted net earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The effect of 1,000,000 and 1,000,000 warrants are not included in the 2006 and 2005 calculation of diluted net income (loss) as the effect is anti-dilutive.
 
       
    (J) Product Information
 
       
    The company operates in three major product lines, systems management and integration, energetic manufacturing and metal parts.

  (K) Long-Lived Assets
 
   
 
  The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.
 
   
 
  (L) Reclassification
 
   
 
  Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
   
 
  (M) Income Taxes
 
   
 
  The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences

  attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
   
 
  (N )Stock Option Policy
 
   
 
  The Company accounts for stock options and warrants under SFAS No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, defines a fair value method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
 
   
 
  (O) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
   
 
  In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No,. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This Statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the effect of implementing this standard.
 
   
 
  In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.

  In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
 
   
 
  In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
 
   
 
  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
 
   
 
  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income

  of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
 
   
 
  In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative an qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for period ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
   
 
  In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

    2006     2005  
Deferred tax assets:
               
Net operating loss carryforwards

SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of $6,174,165 against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of December 31, 2006. The change in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 is $5,888,224 and $285,941 respectively.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $6,174,165 of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards remaining, which expire beginning in 2025. The Company will record the benefit of approximately $2,323,338 of the net operating loss carryforwards through additional paid-in capital if and when the net operating loss carryforwards are utilized, as such amounts relate to the unrecognized tax benefit from stock option exercises.
As a result of certain ownership changes, the Company may be subject to an annual limitation on the utilization of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A study to determine the effect, if any, of this change, has not been undertaken.
A reconciliation of the Company’s income taxes to amounts calculated at the federal statutory rate is as follows for the years ended December 31:
                 
    2006     2005

  EQUITY
 
   
 
  A) COMMON STOCK
 
  On June 6, 2005, Valentec Operating became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valentec Systems. The stockholders of Valentec Operating exchanged 100% of their stock for 5,423,130 shares of common stock in Valentec Systems. The stockholders of Valentec Operating own approximately 78% of Valentec Systems after the merger, and pursuant to the “Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement” upon approval of an increase in authorized capital, the stockholders of Valentec Operating will receive an additional 7,786,090 shares of common stock.
 
   
 
  During 2005, the Company issued 1,573,946 shares of common stock in a reverse merger transaction.
 
   
 
  The Company also entered into an agreement in April 2005 with an investment firm to provide up to $15,000,000 of equity per a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA). The common stock issued under the SEDA would be at 98% of market value. In addition, each advance has a 5% transaction fee.

NOTE 12
  CONTRACT STATUS
 
   
 
  The Company has provided products and services to the government under fixed price contracts. In these types of contracts, prices are not subject to any adjustment on the basis of costs incurred to perform the required work under the technical data package (TDP). The award of any negotiated contract in excess of $100,000 ($500,000 for Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Coast Guard) with certain exemptions as provided by regulation, requires certification by the contractor that cost and pricing data used to negotiate the final price is current, accurate and complete. This certification entitles the government to a price adjustment, including profit or fee, of any significant amount by which the price was increased because of defective data. The Company is also restricted in the amount it can bill under each contract until it has passed its first article (inspection) test. That limit is 10% of the contract amount. The Company, in the normal course of business, periodically reviews its cost estimates on all contracts. In the opinion of management, the potential for any price adjustment on open contracts is remote and, if adjusted, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the period.

  Company. During 2006 and 2005, the Company had two customers which made up 18.0% and 81.1% of total sales in 2006 and 47.6% and 52.4% in 2005, US Army and the Israeli Department of Defense (through a related party entity located in Israel).
 
   
 
  (B) Material and Suppliers
 
   
 
  The Company is dependent upon a number of major suppliers. If a major supplier were to cease doing business, the Company could be adversely affected to the extent the supplier could not be replaced. The Company is dependent on some sole source suppliers. As of December 31, 2006, only two suppliers provided more than 10% of total purchases. These suppliers were POCAL Industries and MEDICO Industries who provide materials for the Mortar Contract for the Israeli Department of Defense (through a related party entity located in Israel) of 19.2% and 22.2%; respectively, of all 2006 material purchases. No one supplier represented more than 10% of purchases in 2005.
 
   
 
  If a critical supplier had operational problems or ceased making material available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. In some cases, materials are supplied by sole source vendors.
 
   
 
  (C) Foreign Operations
 
   
 
  The Company sells to foreign customers. The sales to one foreign customer were 81% in 2006 and 46% in 2005. Significant changes in the level of government funding of these projects could have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the operating results of the Company.

  GOING CONCERN
 
  As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $10,043,206 negative cash flow from operations of $6,497,164. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is making a conscious effort to restructure finances and improve cash flow through cost reductions and improving manufacturing performance. Management believes that actions presently being taken will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
