Item 1.  Description of Business

Overview

Analytical Surveys, Inc. (“ASI”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) was formed in 1981 to provide data conversion and digital mapping services to users of customized geographic information systems (“GIS”).  However, we experienced a steady decrease in the demand for our services and our backlog has decreased substantially since fiscal 2002, and we were unsuccessful in winning new business at acceptable margins. In fiscal 2006, we acted upon our belief that we would not be able to sustain the operations of our historical business.  We focused on completing our long-term contracts that would generate cash and sold our Wisconsin-based operations and assigned our long-term contracts that required new or additional working capital to complete.  We transitioned our principal business into that of an independent oil and gas enterprise focused on leveraging non-operating participation in drilling and production prospects for the development of U.S. on-shore oil and natural gas reserves.

Our success as an oil and gas company was contingent upon our ability to raise additional funds in order to build a portfolio of investments that generate cash flow sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements.  Additionally, we are dependent on outside sources of financing to fund our operations and meet our future obligations.  In November 2006, we issued one-year senior secured convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) totaling $1.65 million to fund our oil and gas activities.  Those activities have not resulted in positive operating results.  Our efforts to secure additional funds have been unsuccessful, which severely restricts our ability to engage in any additional activities.  In May 2007, we terminated our oil and gas executives and took steps to reduce our expenses and commitments in oil and gas investments. Our financial results reflect the downward tend of the GIS business and the lack of success of our oil and gas investments.  In fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007, our revenues were $6.1 million, $4.3 million, and $586,000, respectively.  In those years we experienced net losses of $3.3 million, $383,000, and $4.6 million, respectively.

Therefore, during fiscal 2007, we continued to seek and consider a variety of merger and acquisition opportunities that we believed had the potential to provide shareholder value.  These opportunities included oil and gas entities or assets as well as potential transactions that were unrelated to our current business.  On November 20, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Axion International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Axion”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our newly formed and direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Axion Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As consideration for the transaction, shareholders of Axion will receive 36,762,552 shares of our common stock (“Common Stock”), constituting approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding capital.  The Company, Merger Sub and Axion have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, and the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.  As of the date of this filing, all parties continue to work toward completing the transaction.

Axion is the exclusive licensee of advanced technology regarding plastic composition, which technology is the subject of U.S. patents and patent applications owned by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  Axion has not yet manufactured or distributed products.  To date, its operations consist of raising capital and preparing for its first commercial product sale.  There is no guaranty that Axion will be able to sell product or generate revenues. As such, regardless of whether the merger closes, we will have to obtain additional funds.  We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds or, if we are able to obtain funds, that the terms will be acceptable to us.

We were unable to repay the principal of the Convertible Notes upon maturity on November 24, 2007.  On December 31, 2007, we entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement ("Agreement") which extended the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from November 24, 2007 until March 31, 2008, and, whereby each of the holders of the Convertible Notes waived a default that occurred when we failed to repay the principal pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes.  In consideration of the extension and waiver of default, we reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Notes from $0.695 to $0.10.  If the holders of the Convertible Notes convert any or all of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, we may issue up to 16,430,500 shares of our Common Stock.   As additional consideration, the exercise price of warrants to purchase up to 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock that were issued pursuant to the Convertible Notes (“Note Warrants”) was reduced from $0.695 to $0.10. Accordingly, the maximum potential proceeds from the exercise of the Note Warrants has been reduced to $237,410 from approximately $1.4 million. We also agreed to release each holder from any and all claims it might have against each holder as of December 31, 2007.

In May 2007, we began taking steps to conserve our cash reserves.  We sold our ownership in two properties and divested ourselves of the interests and all future drilling obligations, and eliminated two oil and gas executive management positions.  We have retained our ownership in three properties.  Our largest and most significant ownership is a 10.0% working interest (7.35% net revenue interest) in a relatively deep Anadarko Basin natural gas well known as the Adrienne 1-9, located in Washita County, Oklahoma, We do not anticipate that our other two properties will generate significant revenue in the near future, if ever, and we do not intend to invest additional capital for drilling or completion activities.  We may elect to sell our interests in any or all of our oil and gas properties in
- 1 -

the near future.  In fiscal 2006 and 2007, we invested approximately $2,019,000 and $951,000 in oil and gas properties.  Revenue generated from these investments totaled approximately $7.000 and $188,000 in fiscal 2006 and 2007, respectively.

On July 21, 2006, we received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that we were no longer in compliance with the requirements for continued inclusion of our Common Stock on NASDAQ pursuant to the NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) because our Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.  On January 18, 2007, we received notice from NASDAQ that because we had not regained compliance, our stock was subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market.  We were subsequently notified that we failed to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) requiring:  (i) a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2006; (ii) at least $35,000,000 in market value of listed securities, or (iii) at least $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.  As reported in our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ending December 31, 2006, our stockholders’ equity totaled $2,448,000 at December 31, 2006.  On March 1, 2007, we attended a hearing to request an exception to Rule 4310(c)(4) and Rule 4310(c)(2)(B).  The hearings panel did not grant the requested exception.  On April 2, 2007, we received notice from NASDAQ that our Common Stock would be delisted effective at the open of business on April 4, 2007.  Since that date, our Common Stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Downsizing of the GIS business

Our decision to transition our principal business from our traditional GIS data conversion business to an independent oil and gas enterprise was based on the dramatic decrease of the GIS business in past years and the severe operating losses we have incurred.   While there has been an apparent increase in demand for GIS solutions in response to catastrophic events and homeland security initiatives in recent years, we have experienced a significant decrease in demand for GIS data conversion services.  We believe that the primary reason for such decrease is that existing and potential customers have been using newly emerging technology to reduce the need for outsourcing GIS data conversion services, which historically accounted for as high as 75% of the total cost of a typical GIS solution.  Specifically, the emergence in recent years of commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") hardware and software solutions for gathering satellite remote sensing base data and topographic, planimetric and cadastral data have given customers increased capabilities to replace our services with an in-house, significantly lower cost alternative.  We believe this shift to COTS, coupled with offerings from service firms with large labor content in India, has resulted in lower margins and increased competition in the industry.

Effective August 1, 2006, we sold the assets associated with our Wisconsin-based production center to RAMTeCH Software Solutions, Inc. ("RAMTeCH") for $235,000 in cash, which included $145,000 for transitional consulting services, through December 31, 2006.  We transferred several ongoing GIS service contracts to RAMTeCH, who assumed the employment obligations relating to the personnel associated with the production center.

During the first quarter of 2007, we completed our long-term contract with Worldwide Services and Intergraph (“WWS”) and reduced our staff to five persons. In November 2007, we relocated our corporate offices to a smaller and less costly facility in San Antonio.  We continue to provide software-related services to one customer on a time and materials basis.

Strategy

During the past two fiscal years, we pursued a business strategy based upon non-operating investments in exploration and production of U.S. onshore oil and natural gas reserves.  We focused our activities on the acquisition of interests in leases, wells, mineral rights, working interests, royalty interests, overriding royalty interests and partnerships in Oklahoma and Texas.  However, insufficient funding has prevented us from implementing our business strategy.  Therefore, during fiscal 2007, we continued to seek and consider a variety of merger and acquisition opportunities that we believed had the potential to provide shareholder value.  As discussed in the previous paragraphs, we entered into a Merger Agreement to merge with Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Should we be unable to complete that transaction, we will seek other alternative transactions, although there is no guaranty that we will be able to find an acceptable alternative.

Dependence on Financing Activities

The business of oil and gas investment is capital intensive, and we have been dependent on outside sources to finance future growth and acquisitions.  Cash flows from our oil and gas are not sufficient to fund our operations, thus we are dependent on outside sources of financing both to fund our operations and meet our future obligations.  These financing transactions, if available, are dependent upon the terms which we can negotiate.  Since the issuance of our senior secured Convertible Notes in November 2006, we have not been able to gain access to additional funding.  Our efforts to secure financing that would either replace this senior debt or supplement it in a subordinate position notes have been unsuccessful.  As a result, we conveyed the rights to three of our properties that included future drilling obligations, for amounts less than our investment in the properties and curtailed our efforts to acquire additional oil and gas properties.

Oil and Gas Investments

As of September 30, 2007, we own minority working interests in three properties.  Our investment in the Washita County well (the “Adrienne 1-9”) is our largest and only productive investment.  The Adrienne 1-9 is operated by Range Resources Corporation, and produced various levels of gas after initial completion in January 2007, with increased production after recompletion to additional zones in June 2007.  Subsequent to commencement of full production in mid-July 2007, it has generated revenue net to our interest equal to approximately $30,000 per month.  However, there is there is no assurance that any level of production will be sustained, as natural gas prices fluctuate widely, we cannot predict or depend upon the cash flows that might be generated from our interest in the Adrienne 1-9.  We own a 10% working interest and a 7.35% net revenue interest in the Adrienne 1-9.  We also own minority working interests in one non-producing property and one partially-producing property that is being completed to a new target zone.  There is also no assurance that, upon completion, these properties will ultimately yield production in amounts sufficient for commercial production and sale or to generate positive cash flow.  In either case, we may not realize the revenue expected by us. In the extreme case, where no revenue is realized because the operator is forced to plug and abandon the wells, our overall business will be significantly harmed, and we could be forced to liquidate our assets.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive and we compete with other companies that have greater resources.  Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or global basis.  These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit.  In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices.  Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.  Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.  In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.

The marketability of natural resources that may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.  These factors include market fluctuations in oil and natural gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulations concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Marketing and Pricing

We derive revenue principally from the sale of natural gas and a limited volume of oil.  As a result, our revenues are determined, to a large degree, by prevailing prices for natural gas and crude oil.  We have elected to market our portion of production through our operators, who sell our oil and natural gas on the open market at prevailing market prices.  The market price for oil and natural gas is dictated by supply and demand, and we cannot accurately predict or control the price we may receive for our oil and natural gas.  We have not engaged in natural gas or crude oil hedging or trading activities.

Our revenues and cash flows depend substantially upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas.  Lower prices may also adversely affect the value of our reserves and make it uneconomical for us to commence or continue production levels of natural gas and crude oil.  Historically, the prices received for oil and natural gas have fluctuated widely. Among the factors that can cause these fluctuations are:

·
changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas;

·
the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC;

·
the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil and natural gas;

·
acts of war or terrorism;

·
political conditions and events, including embargoes, affecting oil-producing activity;

·
the level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production activity;

- 3 -

·
the level of global oil and natural gas inventories;

·
weather conditions;

·
technological advances affecting energy consumption; and

·
the price and availability of alternative fuels.

Historical GIS Business

Customers

We derived GIS service revenues primarily from two core markets: utilities and state and local governments.  We also served commercial businesses.  In fiscal 2007, our GIS service revenue was earned from services rendered to two customers, 42% to Worldwide Services, Inc, and Intergraph (“WWS”) and 57% to Utility Pole Technologies (“UPT”), respectively.

Sales and Marketing

We have traditionally marketed our products and services in domestic and international markets primarily through an internal sales force.  We have not added a significant number of new customers as a result of our sales and marketing efforts during the last three fiscal years.  We discontinued our efforts to market GIS products and services when we sold our Wisconsin-based production center in August 2006.

Subcontractors

We no longer utilize subcontractors.  We utilized subcontractors when necessary to expand capacity, meet deadlines, reduce production costs and manage workload of our GIS contracts. We engaged domestic subcontractors on a project-by-project basis.  We also utilized multiple sources of labor in India.  All activities performed by subcontractors were assumed by RAMTeCH, the purchaser of our Wisconsin-based production center.

Research and Development

In late fiscal 2006, we ceased our activities related to the development of new or improved technology and procedures that were intended to enhance our GIS services.  Until that time, most of these activities were related to software development or design of a product or process for a particular contract.  These efforts were typically included as an integral part of our services for the particular project and, accordingly, the associated costs were charged to that project.  The amount that we have spent on research and development over the last three fiscal years is immaterial.

Competition

The GIS services business is highly competitive and highly fragmented. Competitors include small regional firms, independent firms, and large companies with GIS services divisions, customer in-house operations and international low-cost providers of data conversion services.  Two of our nationally recognized competitors for conversion services are Avineon and Rolta.  We also competed with numerous regional firms for conversion services and field data collection services.  Because our competitors are all privately owned companies, it is difficult to determine the relative ranking in the market between our competitors and us.

Our competitors in the exploration, development, acquisition and production business include major integrated oil and gas companies as well as numerous independents, including many that have significantly greater financial resources and in-house technical expertise.

Personnel

At September 30, 2007, we had four employees compared to nine at September 30, 2006, including our chief executive officer, one part-time administrative employee, and two personnel that render services pursuant to a time and materials service contract.  As of January 4, 2008, we had two employees, which included our chief executive officer and one support personnel, as we ceased providing services under the time and materials service contract on December 31, 2007.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-KSB the issues and risks described below should be considered carefully in evaluating our outlook and future.

General Perspective on the Overall Risks Involved

For the last several years, our traditional GIS data conversion business has been shrinking dramatically, causing us to incur severe operating losses.  Although we have reduced our operating losses in the current fiscal year as a result of cost cutting measures, our backlog continues to decline, and we have not been successful in obtaining any significant contracts.  The fixed overhead costs required to perform the remaining contracts preclude us from being able to return to profitability by pursuing our traditional business.  Indeed, without additional cost cutting measures, our cash flow derived solely from the GIS business may be insufficient to meet the operating and capital requirements of our business beyond the current fiscal year.

As we entered into the oil and gas exploration and production business, we sought investments in oil and gas activities that would result in a level of operating income that will generate cash flow sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements.  Our acquisitions of the working interests in February and March 2006 were small and will not produce significant cash flows.  Our decision in May 2006 to invest $1.7 million in the Washita County well was intended to provide the potential for significant cash flow.  However, cash flow to date has not proved sufficient to meet our operating expenses or repay our debt obligations.  We have been unable to raise additional capital to make additional investments in oil and gas properties, and as a result, we have curtailed our efforts to that end.  If we are unable to complete the anticipated merger with Axion, a major restructuring of the Company will be necessary

Our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements.

We currently do not have a line of credit with any lender and rely solely on cash flow from operations to fund future operations and expenditures.  There is no assurance that the cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements. We must receive cash from our investments in oil and natural gas properties in order to meet our operating expenses and debt payments.  If these actions are not sufficient, and we are not able to meet our commitments when due, then we will be forced to liquidate assets and repay our secured creditors with the proceeds.

Our current and former independent auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During fiscal years 2000 through 2007, we experienced significant operating losses with corresponding reductions in working capital and net worth.  Our revenues and backlog have also decreased substantially during the same period.  We no longer generate any significant revenue from GIS services.  Our investments in oil and natural gas properties have not produced an amount of cash flow sufficient to meet our operating expenses.  Our independent auditors issued a going concern qualification on our financial statements for fiscal 2007, based on the significant operating losses reported in those years and a lack of external financing. Our former independent auditors issued a going concern qualification on our financial statements for fiscal 2000 through 2006.  The going-concern qualification, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, was based on the significant operating losses reported in those years and lack of external financing.  As of September 30, 2007, the amount of our accumulated deficit is approximately $39 million.

We have outstanding preferred stock and “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued resulting in the dilution of Common Stock ownership.

Our Articles of Incorporation allow the board of directors to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, privileges and preferences of those shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. We currently have outstanding 280,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which together with the related warrants and possible dividends paid in kind, are convertible into a total of 262,670 shares of Common Stock, an amount which is approximately 6.95% of the 3,789,256 shares of Common Stock currently outstanding as of January 3, 2008.  When converted, these shares will represent a dilution to the existing shareholders.  The preferred stock holds dividend priority and a liquidation preference over shares of our Common Stock.  Our Common Stock will be subject to additional dilution if our board of directors utilizes its right to issue additional shares of preferred stock that is convertible into Common Stock. Thus, the rights of the holders of Common Stock are and will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of the preferred stock currently outstanding and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future. Any such issuance could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal by a third party.


- 5 -


Existing shareholders may experience very significant dilution from the sale of our Common Stock pursuant to outstanding senior secured Convertible Notes and the Class A, Class B, and Class E, and Note Warrants and our proposed merger.

The sale of our Common Stock pursuant to our outstanding Convertible Notes, Class A, B, E and Note Warrants will have a very significant dilutive impact on our shareholders.  Up to 20,510,381 shares of Common Stock could be issuable upon the exercise of the Class A, B, E and Note Warrants, representing 541.28% of the 3,789,256 shares issued and outstanding as of January 3, 2008.  However, the Class E and Note Warrants contain exercise limitations that are likely to cause its exercise to extend over its entire combined five-year exercise period and could prevent the exercise of a portion of the Class E and Note Warrants.  Nevertheless, it is highly probable and unavoidable that our net income per share will decrease in future periods and the market price of our Common Stock could decline. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution.  Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to sell their shares, which would contribute to a decline in the price of our Common Stock. The perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our Common Stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our Common Stock.

Additionally, if we are able to consummate the merger with Axion under the terms contained in the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Axion will receive 36,762,552 shares of our Common Stock, constituting approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Our stock price is highly volatile and the purchase or sale of relatively few shares can disproportionately influence the share price.

The trading price and volume of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to:

actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results;
conditions generally affecting the oil and gas industry;
 
the success of our business and operating strategy; and
 
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies.

The trading price of our Common Stock may vary without regard to our operating performance. Historically, we have been a thinly traded stock, therefore relatively few shares traded can disproportionately influence share price.

Future sales of our Common Stock may cause stock price to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.  In addition, the sale of our Common Stock could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional common or preferred stock.  As of January 3, 2008, we had 3,789,256 shares of Common Stock outstanding, excluding stock options, of which, 3,706,416 shares are freely tradeable.

We do not have a significant operating history and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to make an investment decision.

We were incorporated in June 1997 to engage in the design and manufacturing of children’s apparel. We terminated that business line in 1999 and since then have been engaged in the pursuit of alternative lines of business.  In late 2004, we began to focus our attention on oil and gas exploration and development in the United States.  To date, we have recorded impairments totaling over $2 million on our investments in oil and gas properties.  We have not generated a material amount of revenue from oil and gas production.  Our company has insignificant prior operating experience in the oil and gas industry. Accordingly, there is little operating history upon which to judge our current operations.

We do not act as an operator, which means we are entirely dependent on third parties for the exploration, development and production of our leasehold interests.

An oil and gas operator is the party that takes primary responsibility for management of the day-to-day exploration, development and production activity relating to an oil and gas prospect. Our business plan is to acquire working interests in oil and gas properties with an industry partner functioning as the operator. To date, we have entered into agreements with various oil and gas operators on a project-by-project basis and we have no long-term agreements with any operators that ensure us of their services as we may need them. Our reliance on third party operators for the exploration, development and production of our property interests subjects us to a number of risks, including:

- 6 -

·
the possibility that our inability to act as an operator may limit our ability to bid on and acquire desirable leasehold interests;
 
·
the possibility that quality operators may not be available to us as and when needed;

·
our inability to control the amount and timing of costs and expenses of exploration, development and production; and

·
the risk that we may not be able to properly control the timing and quality of work conducted with respect to our projects.

If we are unable to enter into suitable partnering arrangements with quality operators on a timely basis, we risk suffering a number of adverse consequences, including:

·
the breach of our obligations under the oil and gas leases by which we hold our prospects and the potential loss of those leasehold interests;

·
loss of reputation in the oil and gas community;

·
a general slow down in our operations and decline in revenue; and

·
decline in market price of our common shares.

The results of oil and gas investments may yield revenue that falls short of expectations causing harm to our business.

Although several oil and gas investments have been made, the Washita County well is our largest investment to date and therefore significant emphasis has been placed upon this investment.  Production from the Adrienne 1-9 has generated approximately $25,000 in monthly revenue, net to our interest, since its recompletion in June 2007; there is no assurance that this well will continue to produce at its initial levels.

The pending merger with Axion may not occur.

On November 20, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Axion International, Inc.  The merger was expected to close by December 31, 2007.  While all parties continue to work diligently to consummate the merger, there is no guaranty that will occur in an anticipated time frame or at all.  A failure to complete the merger in a timely manner may likely result in a decline in the market price of our Common Stock.

We will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.

We have already incurred and will continue to incur transaction fees and other costs related to the merger, and expect to incur significant costs associated with completing the merger and combining the operations of the two companies, which cannot be estimated accurately at this time.  Further, diversion of attention from ongoing operations on the part of management and employees could adversely affect our business.   In addition, speculation regarding the likelihood of closing the merger could increase the volatility of our stock price, and pendency of the merger could make it difficult to effect other significant transactions, to the extent opportunities arise to engage in such transactions.  We have and will incur these costs even if the merger is not completed.

The merger with Axion may not provide all of the anticipated benefits.

Axion is the exclusive licensee of advanced technology regarding plastic composition, which technology is the subject of U.S. patents and patent applications owned by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  Axion has not yet manufactured or distributed products.  To date, its operations consist of raising capital and preparing for its first commercial product sale.  There is no guaranty that the will be able to sale product or generate revenues.  As such, regardless if the merger closes, we will have to obtain additional funds.  We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds or, if we are able to obtain funds, that the terms will be acceptable to us.
 
If we are unable to retain the services of our Chief Executive Officer our business operations may be adversely impacted.

Our success depends upon the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer Lori A. Jones, who also serves as our Principal Financial Officer.  Our ability to retain our management team is an important factor in our turnaround program and our ability to

- 7 -


pursue our overall business plan.  We do not maintain any key personal life insurance policies.  Layoffs in recent years may impair our ability to retain and recruit other key personnel.  The loss or interruption of the services of Ms. Jones could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Our future financial results will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding our business operations will be harmed.

We do not believe that our current cash position will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our long-term obligations.  Although we may receive approximately $2,268,656, less expenses, from the exercise of currently issued warrants, we have no way of estimating the ultimate amount that we will receive from the exercise of warrants.  Also, we do not know if additional financing will be available when needed, or if it is available, if it will be available on acceptable terms.  Insufficient funds may prevent us from implementing our business strategy.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is intense, which may adversely affect our ability to succeed.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive and we compete with other companies that have greater resources.  Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or global basis.  These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit.  In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and gas market prices.  Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.  Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.  In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and gas properties.

The marketability of natural resources is affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulations concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Environmental liabilities and environmental regulations may have an adverse effect on our business.

The oil and gas business is subject to environmental hazards such as spills, leaks or any discharges of petroleum products and hazardous substances.  These environmental hazards could expose us to material liabilities for property damage, personal injuries and/or environmental harms, including the costs of investigating and rectifying contaminated properties.

Environmental laws and regulations govern several aspects of our oil and gas business, such as drilling and exploration, production, transportation and waste management.  Compliance with environmental laws and regulations can require significant costs or may require a decrease in production.  Moreover, noncompliance with these laws and regulations could subject us to significant administrative, civil or criminal fines or penalties.

The oil and gas business is subject to changing government regulations.

Federal, state or local government agencies may impose environmental, labor or other regulations that increase costs and/or terminate or suspend operations.  The oil and gas business is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations. These regulations relate to, among other things, the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and gas.  Existing laws and regulations could be changed, and any changes could increase costs of compliance and costs of operations.

Our business involves numerous operating hazards.

Our operations, including the Washita County well, are subject to certain hazards inherent in drilling for oil or gas, such as blowouts, reservoir damage, loss of production, loss of well control, punchthroughs, craterings or fires.  The occurrence of these events could result in the suspension of drilling operations, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved and injury or death to rig personnel.  Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal drilling conditions, failure of subcontractors to

- 8 -


perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages.  Damage to the environment could also result from our operations, particularly through oil spillage or extensive uncontrolled fires.  We may also be subject to damage claims by other oil and gas companies.

Although we, and the operators we engage, will maintain insurance in the areas in which we operate, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable.  Our insurance policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover our losses, and we do not have insurance coverage or rights to indemnity for all risks.  If a significant accident or other event occurs and is not fully covered by insurance or other contractual indemnity, it could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.


Item 2.  Description of Property

Our corporate offices are located at 4040 Broadway, Suite 103, San Antonio, Texas  78209, consisting of approximately 1000 square feet leased on a month-to month basis.  We have sublet our former offices on a short-term basis, which consists of approximately 2,500 square feet leased through December 2011.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

In August 2007 we received an alias summons notifying us that we have been named as an additional party to a suit filed in the State of Indiana in March 2006 by certain homeowners in the Sycamore Springs neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana (“Toomer Litigation”).  The summons names the developer of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood as well as other firms that may have rendered professional services during the development of the neighborhood.  The claimants allege that various Mid-States Engineering, entities that are alleged to be subsidiaries of MSE Corporation which we acquired in 1997, adversely affected the drainage system of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood, and seek damages from flooding that occurred on September 1, 2003.  Defense actions were provided by our insurance carrier, which agreed to settle the claim in December 2007 for an undisclosed amount.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded a $100,000 obligation payable to our insurer, which represents our deductible pursuant to the terms of our insurance coverages.

In November 2005, we received an alias summons notifying us that we have been named as a party to a similar suit filed by the Sycamore Springs Homeowners Association in the State of Indiana (“Sycamore Springs litigation”).  The summons names principally the same defendants as in the Toomer Litigation, and the claims arise from the same occurrence.  Defense actions are being provided by our professional liability insurance carrier.  We have not recorded any liability pursuant to this litigation as the claims from the two lawsuits arise from a single occurrence with one deductible applying to the matter.  Although the carrier has reserved its rights pursuant to the matter, we believe our defense is viable and may not result in any additional obligations.

In November 2007, we received a summons for a suit filed in the State of Indiana by the developers of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood.  The developers allege that Mid-States Engineering breached its contract to provide professional engineering design services in connection with the development of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood.  All parties have agreed that no actions will be taken pursuant to this claim pending the outcome of the Sycamore Springs litigation.   We believe that their claim is without merit.  Additionally, should defense be necessary, the claims arise from a single occurrence with one deductible applying to the matter.

We are also subject to various other routine litigation incidental to our business.  Management does not believe that any of these routine legal proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

On July 21, 2006, we received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that we were no longer in compliance with the requirements for continued inclusion of our Common Stock on NASDAQ pursuant to the NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (“Rule 4310(c)(4)”) because our Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.  On January 18, 2007, we received notice from NASDAQ that because we had not regained compliance, our stock was subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market.  We were subsequently notified that we failed to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) (“Rule 4310(c)(2)(B)”) requiring:  (i) a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2006; (ii) at least $35,000,000 in market value of listed securities, or (iii) at least $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.  As reported in our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, our stockholders’ equity totaled $2,448,000 at December 31, 2006.  On March 1, 2007, we attended a hearing to request an exception to Rule 4310(c)(4) and Rule 4310(c)(2)(B).  The hearings panel did not grant an exception, and as such, our Common Stock was delisted by NASDAQ effective at the opening of business on April 4, 2007.

Dividends

Since becoming a public company, we have not declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We presently expect that we will retain all future earnings, if any, for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.

 
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On November 24, 2006, we issued three one-year senior secured convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) totaling $1.65 million pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 24, 2006, (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Convertible Notes, together with interest that accrues at the rate of 13% per annum, are convertible into 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.695 per share, which was $0.135 per share above fair market value of the Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date of November 24, 2006. Upon maturity, any unconverted outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in cash. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at $0.57 per share, which was $0.01 above the fair market value of the Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date (the “Note Warrants”). The Note Warrants are exercisable any time after May 24, 2007, and before November 24, 2011. Net proceeds after expenses totaled approximately $1.466 million. We also paid a finder’s fee of $132,000 in cash and issued warrants to purchase 189,928 shares of our Common Stock at $0.57 to the placement agent, Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC. Proceeds were used to fund additional investments in oil and natural gas non-operating interests.

- 10 -


We were unable to repay the principal of the Convertible Notes upon maturity on November 24, 2007.  On December 31, 2007, we entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement ("Agreement") which extended the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from November 24, 2007 until March 31, 2008, and, whereby each of the holders of the Convertible Notes waived a default that occurred when we failed to repay the principal on November 29, 2007.  In consideration of the extension and waiver of default, we reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Notes from $0.695 to $0.10.  If the holders of the Convertible Notes convert any or all of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, we may issue up to 16,430,500 shares of Common Stock.  As additional consideration, the exercise price of these Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock was reduced from $0.695 to $0.10. Accordingly, the maximum potential proceeds from the exercise of these Note Warrants has been reduced to $237,410 from approximately $1.4 million.

The sale of the Convertible Notes and Note Warrants was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement we agreed to file a series of registration statements to register 130% of the total shares issuable under the transaction.

In March 2006, we financed two acquisitions in part from proceeds of a $760,000 private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 598,425 shares of our Common Stock) (the “Convertible Preferred”) accompanied by Class A Warrants (exercisable into 299,212 shares of our Common Stock at $1.34 per share) and Class B Warrants (exercisable into 299,212 shares of our Common Stock at $1.49 per share).  As of September 30, 2006, 280,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred remain outstanding and none of the Class A and Class B Warrants have been exercised.  The shares of our Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred and exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants were registered for resale under a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-132691) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2006, and which became effective on April 11, 2006.

In May 2006, we financed an acquisition by means of a $2 million private placement.  In connection with the private placement, we issued Senior Notes, Class E Warrants, Class C Warrants, and Class D Warrants, all to two investors pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on August 29, 2006, the shareholders considered and rejected certain conversion terms of the Senior Notes and the issuance of warrants other than Class E Warrants entitling the holders to purchase 752,072 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.186 per share, the closing bid price of our Common Stock on May 31, 2006, the closing date of the private placement.  We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-136078) with the SEC registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class E Warrants.  The Registration Statement was declared effective on October 13, 2006.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operations

The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations set forth below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB. This Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. The statements contained in this Form 10-KSB that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Form 10-KSB, or in the documents incorporated by reference into this Form 10-KSB, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the statements in “Business – Overview and – Risk Factors” and statements relating to competition, management of growth, our strategy, future sales, future expenses and future liquidity and capital resources. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-KSB are based upon information available to us on the date of this Form 10-KSB, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this Form 10-KSB. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the resolution or outcome of the lawsuits described in “Litigation” above, the effect of changes in our management and the ability to retain qualified individuals to serve in key management positions, and those discussed below, in “Business— Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.

Overview

Founded in 1981, we have historically served as a provider of data conversion and digital mapping services to users of customized geographic information systems.  We have experienced a steady decrease in the demand for our services since 2002.  We believe that the primary reason for such decrease is newer technology that has reduced the need for outsourcing GIS data conversion services, which historically accounted for as high as 75% of the total cost of a typical GIS solution.  Commercial off-the-shelf ("COTS") hardware and software solutions have provided our target customers with increased capabilities to replace our services with an in-house, significantly lower cost alternative.  This shift to COTS, coupled with offerings from service firms with large labor content in India, has resulted in lower margins and increased competition in the industry.  Our backlog has decreased substantially since 2002, and we have been unsuccessful in winning new business at acceptable margins.

Our independent auditors, Malone & Bailey, PC, issued a going concern qualification on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.  The going-concern qualification, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, is based on the significant operating losses reported in fiscal 2007, and a lack of external financing.  Our former independent auditors, Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C., issued a going concern qualification on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.  The going-concern qualification, which expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, is based on the significant operating losses reported in fiscal 2006 and 2005, and a lack of external financing.

Our financial results reflect the downward tend of the GIS business and the lack of success of our oil and gas investments.  In fiscal years 2005, 2006, and 2007, our revenues were $6.1 million, $4.3 million, and $586,000, respectively.  In those years we experienced net losses of $3.3 million, $383,000 million, and $4.6 million, respectively.

On July 21, 2006, we received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that we were no longer in compliance with the requirements for continued inclusion of our Common Stock on NASDAQ pursuant to the NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) because our Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.  On January 18, 2007, we received notice from NASDAQ that because we had not regained compliance, our stock was subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market.  We were subsequently notified that we failed to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) requiring:  (i) a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2006; (ii) at least $35,000,000 in market value of listed securities, or (iii) at least $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.  As reported in our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ending December 31, 2006, our stockholders’ equity totaled $2,448,000 at December 31, 2006.  On March 1, 2007, we attended a hearing to request an exception to Rule 4310(c)(4) and Rule 4310(c)(2)(B).  The hearings panel did not grant the requested exception.

On April 2, 2007, we received notice from NASDAQ that our Common Stock would be delisted effective at the open of business on April 4, 2007.  Since that date, our Common Stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

In fiscal 2006, we acted upon our belief that we would not be able to sustain the operations of our historical business.  We transitioned our principal business into that of an independent oil and gas enterprise focused on leveraging non-operating participation in drilling and production prospects for the development of U.S. on-shore oil and natural gas reserves.  Our success as an oil and gas company is contingent upon our ability to raise additional funds in order to build a portfolio of investments that generate cash flow sufficient to meet our operating expenses and capital requirements.  Currently, we are dependent on outside sources of financing to fund our operations and meet our future obligations.  In November 2006, we issued one-year senior secured Convertible Notes totaling $1.65 million, on terms described in detail below, to fund our oil and gas activities.  Those activities have not resulted in positive operating results.  Our efforts to secure additional funds have been unsuccessful, which has severely limited our ability to engage in additional oil and gas activities.

- 12 -


In May 2007, we began taking steps to conserve our cash reserves.  We sold our ownership in two properties and divested ourselves of the interests and all future drilling obligations.  We took steps to further reduce our operating expenses, and reduced our executive management from three persons to one person, Lori Jones, who currently acts as our chief executive and financial officer.

We have retained our ownership in three oil and gas properties.  We own a 10% working interest (7.35% net revenue interest) in the Adrienne 1-9, which has generated an average of $30,000 gross revenues net to our interest per month since its final completion in July 2007.  The completion is very recent, and there is no assurance the well will continue to produce volumes of gas at its current rate.  We do not anticipate that our other two properties will generate significant revenue in the near future, if ever, and we do not intend to invest additional capital for drilling or completion activities.  We may elect to sell our oil and gas investments and use the proceeds to pay our obligations and fund other transactions, if any.

We recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties charge of $2,005,000 for the year ended September 30, 2007.  At September 30, 2007, the Adrienne 1-9 was our only property that had production history, and that production was limited to a very few months.  The lack of production history resulted in a sharp decline curve utilized by Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC, in formulating reserve estimates.  The reserve estimate is significantly less than our investment in the Adrienne 1-9.  The impairment charges were also a result of the sale of two properties during fiscal 2007 at less than cost, and our evaluation of our other properties in Oklahoma.
 
We have issued equity and convertible debt instruments to finance several investments in oil and gas interests. In February 2006, we issued 760,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 598,425 shares of our Common Stock) (the “Convertible Preferred”), accompanied by Class A Warrants (exercisable into 299,212 shares of our Common Stock at $1.34 per share) and Class B Warrants (exercisable into 299,212 shares of our Common Stock at $1.49 per share) generating gross proceeds of $760,000. At September 30, 2007, 280,000 shares of Convertible Preferred were outstanding, which are convertible into 220,427 shares of our Common Stock.  In October 2006, we repaid 14% convertible senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 million (the “Senior Notes”), utilizing cash generated from the sale of our production center in Wisconsin and collections of receivables from contracts that are in final stages of completion.

On November 24, 2006, we issued three Convertible Notes totaling $1.65 million, accompanied by warrants to purchase 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock (the “Note Warrants”).  Due to our inability to repay these Convertible Notes when they became due on November 29, 2007, on December 31, 2007, we entered into an Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Convertible Notes until March 31, 2008.  In consideration of the extension and waiver of default, we reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Notes from $0.695 to $0.10.  If the holders of the Convertible Notes convert any or all of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, we may be required to issue up to 16,430,500 shares of Common Stock.  As additional consideration, the exercise price of these Note Warrants was reduced from $0.695 to $0.10. Accordingly, the maximum potential proceeds from the exercise of the Note Warrants has been reduced to $237,410 from approximately $1.4 million.

We entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 20, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Axion International, Inc (“Axion”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Axion as a wholly owned subsidiary in a tax-free exchange, acquiring all of Axion’s outstanding common stock in exchange for 36,762,552 shares of our Common Stock.  The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties customary for agreements of this type, including covenants to conduct its business in the ordinary and normal course until the closing of the transaction.  While we expected the merger to have closed by December 31, 2007, both parties continue to work toward closing.  However, there can be no assurance that a closing will occur in a timely manner or at all.

Axion is the exclusive licensee of advanced technology regarding plastic composition, which technology is the subject of U.S. patents and patent applications owned by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  Axion has not yet manufactured or distributed products.  To date, its operations consist of raising capital and preparing for its first commercial product sale.  There is no guarantee that Axion will be able to sell product or generate revenues.  As such, regardless of whether the merger closes, we will have to obtain additional funds.  We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds or, if we are able to obtain funds, that the terms will be favorable to us.

Our decision to transition our principal business from our traditional GIS data conversion business was based on the dramatic decrease of the GIS business in past years and the severe operating losses we have incurred.  We have acquired only four new customers with material contracts during the past three fiscal years, and the majority of our revenue during those years was derived from ongoing services with past customers.  We reduced our staff in fiscal 2005 to meet the lower demands of our existing business, and we experienced additional loss of personnel due to the uncertainty of the acquisition of new GIS contracts.  To address concern created by this loss of personnel on the part of our customers, partners, and employees, we engaged Wind Lake Solutions, Inc. (“WLS”), to manage our Wisconsin-based personnel in October 2005.  We terminated this management agreement with WLS on June 30, 2006.

- 13 -


While this strategy temporarily stabilized our Wisconsin office and satisfied our customer’s concerns regarding our ability to provide consistent service to them, it did not result in a long-term solution to sustain or build our GIS business.

Effective August 1, 2006, we sold the assets associated with our Wisconsin-based production center to RAMTeCH Software Solutions, Inc. ("RAMTeCH") for $235,000 in cash, which includes $85,000 for fixed assets with a net book value of approximately $30,000, $5,000 for a non-competition clause prohibiting us from indirectly contacting or marketing data conversion or data maintenance services in the continental United States for a period of three years, and $145,000 for transitional consulting services to assist RAMTeCH with the operation of the production center until December 31, 2006. There are no direct costs related to the consulting agreement.  We transferred several ongoing GIS service contracts to RAMTeCH, who assumed the employment obligations relating to the personnel associated with the production center.  RAMTeCH will be entitled to payment for services rendered pursuant to the assigned contracts after that date, and is responsible for all costs related to those contracts as well as the operation of the production facility located in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

In our GIS business, we engaged in research and development activities; however, associated expenses were not significant and represented less than $100,000 per year, or less than 5% of our total operating expense.  The majority of these activities occurred as we developed software or designed a product for a particular contract.  These efforts were typically included as an integral part of our services for the particular project and, accordingly, the associated costs were charged to that project.  Such custom-designed software could often be applied to projects for other customers, since we retained ownership of such proprietary software or products.

We completed the performance of our contract with Worldwide Services, Inc. and Intergraph, (“WWS”) in fiscal 2006, and delivered and reconciled the final deliverable and billable quantities in the quarter ending December 31, 2006. This reconciliation resulted in additional revenue, after the release of reserves on our accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings, totaling approximately $167,000. We have elected to continue to perform services for an additional customer in fiscal 2007, although we do not anticipate that revenue generated from these services will be material or that it will continue after December 31, 2007.  Approximately $21,000 of our accounts receivable at September 30, 2007, are related to this customer.

At September 30, 2007, we had four employees compared to nine at September 30, 2006, including our chief executive officer, one part-time administrative employee, and two personnel that render services pursuant to a time and materials service contract.  Subsequent to year-end, we further reduced our staff, and as of January 4, 2008, we had two employees, which included our chief executive officer and one support personnel.

While we have and will continue to reduce our general and administrative expenses, we are incurring legal and professional fee expenses related to our initiative into new business ventures.  We also anticipate that compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as applicable, will require substantial financial and management resources and result in additional expenses.

We may not be able to reach a level of operating income from oil and natural gas activities that will generate cash flow sufficient to meet the operating and capital requirements of that business, plus the shortfall in cash flow arising from our traditional business.  Given the risks associated with this endeavor, there is no assurance that we can achieve the necessary level of such operating income in a timely manner.

It must be recognized that our ultimate objective has been to transition from a company providing a specialized service to that of an independent oil and natural gas producer.  We will not be able to make that transition without a major restructuring.  If we do not complete the merger with Axion, such undertakings might include a merger with a privately held independent oil and natural gas producer or other suitable entity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition.  We recognize revenue from GIS services using the percentage of completion method of accounting on a cost-to-cost basis.  For each contract, an estimate of total production costs is determined and these estimates are reevaluated monthly.  The estimation process requires substantial judgments on the costs over the life of the contract, which are inherently uncertain.  The duration of the contracts and the technical challenges included in certain contracts affect our ability to estimate costs precisely.  Production costs consist of internal costs, primarily salaries and wages, and external costs, primarily subcontractor costs.  Internal and external production costs may vary considerably among projects and during the course of completion of each project.  At each accounting period, the percentage of completion is based on production costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated production costs for each of the contracts.  This percentage is then multiplied by the contract’s total value to calculate the sales revenue to be recognized. The percentage of completion is affected by any factors which influence either the estimate of future productivity or the production cost per hour used to determine future costs.  Sales and marketing expenses associated with obtaining contracts are expensed as incurred.  If we underestimate the total cost to complete a project, we recognize a disproportionately high amount of revenue in the earlier stages of the contract, which would result in disproportionately high profit margins in the same period.  Conversely, if we overestimate the cost to complete a project, a disproportionately low amount of revenue is recognized in the

- 14 -


early stages of a contract.  While our contracts generally contain termination clauses they also provide for reimbursement of costs incurred to date in the event of termination.

Oil, natural gas revenues are recognized when delivery has occurred and title to the products has transferred to the purchaser.

Oil and Gas Properties.  We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leasehold, geological and geophysical expenses, dry holes, leasehold equipment and legal due diligence costs directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities, are capitalized. Capitalized costs of oil and gas properties also include estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation when incurred. Proceeds received from disposals are credited against accumulated cost except when the sale represents a significant disposal of reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.
The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development and dismantlement costs is depleted on the equivalent unit-of-production method, based on proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and natural gas are converted to equivalent units based upon the relative energy content, which is six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable.  We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.  Management routinely assesses the financial condition of our customers and the markets in which these customers participate.  If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

Litigation.  We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings that arise from the ordinary course of business.  Liabilities and costs associated with these matters require estimates and judgment based on professional knowledge and experience of management and our legal counsel.  When estimates of our exposure for claims or pending or threatened litigation matters meet the criteria of SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”, amounts are recorded as charges to operations.  The ultimate resolution of any exposure may change as further facts and circumstances become known.

Income Taxes.  We reported a net loss in fiscal 2007 and 2006.  The current and prior year losses have generated a sizeable federal tax net operating loss, or NOL, carryforward which totals approximately $33 million as of September 30, 2007.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that we record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset associated with this NOL if it is “more likely than not” that we will not be able to utilize it to offset future taxes.  Due to the size of the NOL carryforward in relation to our recent history of unprofitable operations and due to the continuing uncertainties surrounding our future operations as discussed above, we have not recognized any of this net deferred tax asset.  We currently provide for income taxes only to the extent that we expect to pay cash taxes (primarily state taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax) on current taxable income.

It is possible, however, that we could be profitable in the future at levels which may cause management to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of the NOL carryforward.  Upon reaching such a conclusion, we would immediately record the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset at that time and would then provide for income taxes at a rate equal to our combined federal and state effective rates, which would approximate 39% under current tax rates.  Subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period, although our cash tax payments would remain unaffected until the benefit of the NOL is utilized.

Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenues. We recognize revenues generated from GIS service contracts as services are performed.  In fiscal 2007, principally all of our service revenue was generated from a long-term contract that was completed in the first quarter of 2007 and a short-term contract with one customer.  GIS service revenues totaled approximately $398,000 in fiscal 2007 as compared to $4.3 million in fiscal 2006.  The decrease in revenues was due to the completion of all but two contracts in fiscal 2006 and the sale and assignment of several ongoing contracts to RAMTeCH on August 1, 2006.

We recognize oil and gas revenues when delivery has occurred and title to the products has transferred to the purchaser.  Our investment in the Adrienne 1-9 began generating revenue from the sale of natural gas in January 2007.  Prior to that time, our oil and gas revenues were limited to the sale of oil from our 20% working interest in a shallow well in Oklahoma.  In fiscal 2007, we recognized oil and gas revenue totaling approximately $188,000 as compared to $7,000 in fiscal 2006.  We estimate revenues based on production reports and estimated market prices when actual results are not available.

Salaries, Wages and Benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits include employee compensation for production, marketing, selling, administrative, and executive employees.  Salaries, wages and benefits decreased 76.2% to $641,000 in fiscal 2007 as compared to $2.7 million in fiscal 2006.  The decrease was a result of reductions in our workforce as we completed GIS service contracts.  Our GIS service contracts required a substantial workforce, while our oil and gas activities require only a very limited staff.

Subcontractor Costs. Subcontractor costs include production costs incurred through the use of third parties, both domestic and offshore, for production tasks such as data conversion and field survey services to meet contract requirements.  Subcontractor costs totaled approximately $522,000 in fiscal 2006.  No subcontractors were used to perform services in fiscal 2007.

Oil and Gas Impairment:  We recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties charge of $2,005,000 for the year ended September 30, 2007.  At September 30, 2007, the Adrienne 1-9 was our only property that had production history, and that production was limited to a very few months.  The lack of production history resulted in a sharp decline curve utilized by Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC, in formulating reserve estimates.  The reserve estimate is significantly less than our investment in the Adrienne 1-9.  The impairment charges were also a result of the sale of two properties during fiscal 2007 at less than cost, and our evaluation of our other properties in Oklahoma.
 
Other General and Administrative.  Other general and administrative expenses include rent, maintenance, travel, supplies, insurance and professional services.  Such expenses decreased 37.3% to $776,000 in fiscal 2007 from $1.2 million in fiscal 2006.  The reduced level of GIS services and the nature of our oil and gas investments required less general and administrative support in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006, offset by the $100,000 fiscal 2007 expense related our deductible pursuant to the settlement of litigation

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased 85.7% in fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006.  Depreciation decreased to $20,000 in fiscal 2007 from $63,000 in fiscal 2006 due to equipment becoming fully depreciated, with little investment in new equipment required by our current business volume.  The decrease was offset by $97,000 of depletion expense as the Adrienne 1-9 began producing natural gas in fiscal 2007.

Interest Expense, Net.  We incurred net interest expense totaling approximately $1.32 million in fiscal 2007, as compared to $177,000 in fiscal 2006.  The increase is a result of 13% interest on our Convertible Notes, and non-cash interest which includes amortization of the discounts on the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Convertible Notes.  Non-cash interest expense totaled $1.16 million in fiscal 2007.

Other Income (Expense).  Net other expense in fiscal 2007 totaled approximately $215,000, which included the expiration of a $150,000 option to purchase an oil and gas property in January 2007 and the amortization of approximately $134,000 deferred loan costs related to the Senior Notes, offset by approximately $99,000 in consulting fee income related to the sale of the Wisconsin-based production center.  It also includes $30,000 loss on the sale of certain assets including a set of partition cubicles when we relocated our corporate offices in November 2006, at which time we disposed of additional computer equipment, furniture, and software items that were not being utilized and which had no material net book value.  In fiscal 2006, other expense was principally a result of the amortization of approximately $115,000 of deferred expenses related to the Senior Notes, offset by consulting fee income totaling $58,000 related to the sale of our certain assets in our Wisconsin production center.  We recognized a gain of approximately $39,000 gain on the sale of the assets, principally which related to the sale of the assets in our Wisconsin production center.  We also recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $61,000 related to the relinquishment of accrued dividends by the holders of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

- 16 -

Income Tax Benefit. Federal income tax expense for fiscal year 2007 is projected to be zero and accordingly, we recorded an effective federal income tax rate of 0%.  Federal income tax expense for fiscal year 2006 was zero.  As a result of the uncertainty that sufficient future taxable income can be recognized to realize additional deferred tax assets, no income tax benefit has been recognized for fiscal 2007 and 2006.

Net Loss.  Net loss available to common shareholders increased from $383,000 in fiscal 2006 to $4.6 million in fiscal 2007.  The higher loss in fiscal 2007 was due to the transition of our business to an oil and gas enterprise, the impairment of our oil and gas investments, and the interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on the Convertible Notes.

Our senior secured Convertible Notes matured on November 24, 2007.  We were unable to repay the $1,643,050 in principal that was due on that date.  On December 31, 2007, we entered into an Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from November 24, 2007 until March 31, 2008, and, whereby each of the holders of the Convertible Notes waived a default that occurred when we failed to repay the principal pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes.  In consideration of the extension and waiver of default, we reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Notes from $0.695 to $0.10.  If the holders of the Convertible Notes convert any or all of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, we may issue up to 16,430,500 shares of our Common Stock.  As additional consideration, the exercise price of these Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,374,101 shares of our Common was reduced from $0.695 to $0.10.  Accordingly, the maximum potential proceeds from the exercise of the Note Warrants has been reduced to $237,410 from approximately $1.4 million.

Historically, the principal source of our liquidity has consisted of cash flow from operations supplemented by secured lines-of-credit and other borrowings. We do not have a line of credit and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional borrowings should we seek to do so.

On November 24, 2006, we issued three one-year senior Convertible Notes totaling $1.65 million pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 24, 2006, (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Convertible Notes, together with interest that accrues at the rate of 13% per annum, are convertible into 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.695 per share, which was $0.135 per share above fair market value of our Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date of November 24, 2006.  Upon maturity at November 23, 2007, any unconverted outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in cash.  In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the investors Note Warrants to purchase 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at $0.57 per share, which was $0.01 above the fair market value of our Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date. The Note Warrants are exercisable any time after May 24, 2007, and before May 24, 2012.  Net proceeds after expenses totaled approximately $1.466 million. Proceeds are being used for working capital and to fund additional investments in oil

- 17 -


and natural gas non-operating interests.  We also paid a cash finder’s fee of $132,000 and issued Note Warrants to purchase 189,928 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share to the placement agent, Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC.

The sale of the Convertible Notes and Note Warrants was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Our registration statement on Form S-3/A, registering 1,247,454 shares of Common Stock, which represents 33% our issued and outstanding shares, and which are issuable pursuant to the partial conversion of our Convertible Notes, was declared effective by the SEC on March 14, 2007.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we will file additional registration statements on Form S-3 or other eligible Form to register 130% of the total shares issuable under the transaction.
We recorded the Convertible Notes at a discount after giving effect to the $272,300 estimated fair market value of the Note Warrants, which was credited to equity. The Note Warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 1.25%, and risk free interest rate of 4.56%.  During the fourth quarter of 2007, we revisited the volatility assumption used in this calculation and as a result, revised the volatility factor upward to 145% as a more accurate measure of the historical volatility of our stock, which increased the estimated fair value of the Note Warrants based upon the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to $1,015.  Pursuant to EITF 98-5, we reallocated the proceeds from the offering to the Note Warrants and the Convertible Notes based upon the relative fair market value, which resulted in the Note Warrants being assigned a fair value of $628,000, a $356,000 increase in the discount versus the original calculation.  We then revisited our analysis of the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes and determined that, due to the increased value attributable to the Note Warrants as a result of the revised volatility factor, a beneficial conversion feature existed in the amount of $308,000, which would have further discounted the Convertible Notes.  As a consequence of the Convertible Note default, the entire discount was accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs were written off, and we recognized additional interest expense of $739,000.  The Convertible Notes are reflected at their par value as of September 30, 2007.

We incurred financing costs totaling $183,500 pursuant to the Convertible Notes, including the finder’s fee, a 1% due diligence fee paid to the investors, and legal and professional fees. These deferred financing costs were amortized as interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. After giving effect to the value of the Note Warrants and the financing costs, the effective rate of interest on the Convertible Notes is 80.8%.

On March 22, 2007, we issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of $6,950 in principal of one of the Convertible Notes.  In conjunction with the conversion, we reclassified the proportionate (approximately 5%) balance of the deferred financing cost and discount to equity.  .

In May 2006, we issued Senior Notes to two holders totaling $2.0 million, to fund the drilling and completion of our investment in the Adrienne 1-9.  The holders also received Class E Warrants entitling them to purchase, in the aggregate, 752,072 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.186 per share, which was the closing bid price of our Common Stock on May 31, 2006.  Our shareholders did not approve conversion terms of the Senior Notes and the issuance of additional warrants to the holders at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on August 29, 2006.  Consequently, on September 19, 2006, the holders exercised their right to accelerate the maturity of the Senior Notes to October 19, 2006, on which date the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under the Senior Notes became due and payable in cash.  On October 18, 2006, we paid the outstanding principal and interest due on the Senior Notes, which totaled $2,012,274, utilizing cash reserves and the collection of $1.0 million of accounts receivable subsequent to September 30, 2006.

We recorded the Senior Notes at a discount after giving effect to the $80,424 estimated fair value of the Class E Warrants, which was credited to equity. The carrying value of the Senior Notes was accreted to the face amount by charges to interest expense over the two-year term until September 19, 2006, on which date we accelerated the rate of accretion to reflect the new maturity date of October 19, 2006.  The unearned discount of $43,196 as of September 30, 2006, was recorded as interest expense during the quarter.  We recorded deferred loan costs totaling approximately $249,000 related to the issuance of the Senior Notes, and amortized the costs to other expense over the two-year term of the Senior Notes until September 19, 2006, on which date we accelerated the rate of amortization to reflect the new maturity date.  The unamortized balance of the deferred expense at September 30, 2006, of $133,728, was amortized to other expense during the quarter ending December 31, 2006.

On February 10, 2006, we completed the placement of a new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Convertible Preferred”) with aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $760,000.  The two-year Convertible Preferred, earns dividends at a rate of 7% per annum which bears interest at 7% annually, may be converted into 598,425 shares of our Common Stock at fixed conversion price of $1.27, which was determined by applying a 10% discount to the 5-day trailing average closing price of our Common Stock of $1.41 as of the NASDAQ Stock Market close on February 9, 2006.  We also issued warrants to purchase up to 763,780 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to this transaction.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since fiscal 2000, we have experienced significant operating losses with

- 18 -


corresponding reductions in working capital, and we have recorded substantial impairments on our oil and gas investments.  Our revenues and backlog decreased significantly during that time.  These factors, among others, have resulted in our independent auditors issuing an audit opinion on the September 30, 2007, financial statements that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To address the going concern issue, management implemented financial and operational restructuring plans in past fiscal years designed to improve operating efficiencies, reduce and eliminate cash losses, and position us for profitable operations. We ultimately decided to expand our business strategy outside of our traditional business as a GIS service provider after concluding that our existing GIS business could not be sustained.  We issued Convertible Preferred and the Senior Notes to secure the funds that enabled us to invest in non-operating working interests in oil and natural gas leasehold interests.  We sold our Wisconsin-based production center and assigned certain contracts in order to reduce working capital requirements on contracts that required substantial investment in the early stages of the contracts, realizing $235,000 in cash proceeds.  We completed a long-term contract and utilized funds collected upon completion to meet our debt obligations.  In the latter part of fiscal 2007, we determined that we would not be able to secure additional financing for the expansion of our oil and gas business strategy, we further reduced and streamlined our executive team and began positioning the company for a restructuring or merger transaction.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  However, we believe that our turnaround efforts and anticipated merger with Axion, if successful, will generate sufficient cash to meet our obligations in a timely manner.

In the absence of a line of credit and because of our inability to secure debt on terms that we consider reasonable based on our recent operating history, we depend on internal cash flow generated from our investments in oil and natural gas properties to sustain operations.  In order to meet our short-term cash requirements, we must collect more cash from our investments than we pay to our employees and suppliers.  We expect that we will be able to meet our short-term obligations utilizing our cash reserves, supplemented by cash flow from our investments in oil and natural gas properties, but there can be no assurance that market conditions or other factors will not prevent us from doing so or that the cash generated will be equal to the amount that we currently anticipate.  If we are unable to generate cash flow from our investments in oil and natural gas properties, we will be forced to obtain additional financing and/or restrict capital and operating expenditures to match available resources.  If these actions are not sufficient, and we are not able to meet our commitments when due, then we will be forced to liquidate assets and repay our secured creditors with the proceeds.

Our operating activities provided $370,000 and $47,000 in cash in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. We collected approximately $1.2 and $1.4 million from accounts receivable and other contract-related accounts fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, due to the completion of active contracts that were not replaced with new activity. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased by $184,000 in fiscal 2007, as a result of drilling and completion obligations related to the Adrienne 1-9 becoming due and payable and our $100,000 liability due to our insurer in connection with a litigation settlement. Those accounts decreased $641,000 in fiscal 2006 as we paid principally all of our obligations related to our GIS contracts prior to September 30, 2006. Accrued payroll and related benefits increased slightly in fiscal 2007 but decreased $555,000 in fiscal 2006 due to the significantly lower number of employees at September 30 2006 as compared to September 30, 2005. Prepaid expenses decreased $74,000 in fiscal 2007 as a result of lower insurance and maintenance expenses that require prepayment.

In fiscal 2007, we invested $20,000 in equipment and leasehold improvements, and $951,000 in oil and gas properties offset by proceeds totaling $270,000 from conveyances of properties. In fiscal 2006, cash used in investing activities consisted of $1.8 million invested in oil and gas properties, offset by $112,000 received from the sale of assets, which were principally related to our Wisconsin production center.

In fiscal 2007, we used $2 million cash to repay our $2 million Senior Notes, and we issued new Convertible Notes, receiving approximately $1.466 million in proceeds. Cash generated from financing activities in fiscal 2006 totaled $2.4 million, which included $760,000 from the issuance of Convertible Preferred and $2.0 million, for Senior Notes, less expenses totaling $329,000.

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published revisions to SFAS No. 123.  The revised SFAS No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123R”), Share Based Payment, requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions using a fair-value based method, thereby eliminating the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123.  SFAS No. 123R is effective for all small business public entities as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  Through September 30, 2006, we elected the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  We adopted SFAS No. 123R on October 1, 2006.  The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations for options that were granted prior to September 30, 2006.  However, future grants will result in increased expenses, which will be dependent on the terms of the grants.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 108, “Financial Statements - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”).  SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated.  SAB 108 references both the “iron curtain” and “rollover” approaches to quantifying a current year misstatement for purposes of determining its materiality.  The iron curtain approach focuses on how the current year’s balance sheet would be affected in correcting a misstatement without considering the year(s) in which the misstatement originated.  The rollover approach focuses on the amount of the misstatement that originated in the current year’s income statement.  SAB 108 states that registrants must quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements.  Both the iron curtain approach and rollover approach should be used in assessing the materiality of a current year misstatement.  SAB 108 provides that once a current year misstatement has been quantified, the guidance in SAB Topic 99, “Financial Statements - Materiality,” should be applied to determine whether the misstatement is material and should result in an adjustment to the financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.  The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date (an exit price) and not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date (an entry price).  SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement and subsequently a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 also clarifies that the market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk, and assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  SFAS No. 157 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the year in which it is initially applied.  A limited form of retrospective application of SFAS No. 157 is allowed for certain financial instruments.   We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” With respect to SFAS No. 133, SFAS No. 155 simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminates the interim guidance in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” which provided that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provision of SFAS No. 133. With respect to SFAS No. 140, SFAS No. 155 eliminates a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
In November 2006, the EITF reached a final consensus in EITF Issue 06-6 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments.”  EITF No. 06-6 addresses the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.” The consensus should be applied to modifications or exchanges of debt instruments occurring in interim or annual periods beginning after November 29, 2006. Adoption of EITF No. 06-6 by the Company during the quarter ended February 28, 2007 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

- 20 -


In November 2006, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under SFAS No. 133, based on the application of EITF No. 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Under EITF No. 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under SFAS No. 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to shareholders’ equity. EITF No. 06-7 should be applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in SFAS No. 133 in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the effective date of EITF No. 06-7. Earlier application of EITF No. 06-7 is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of EITF No. 06-7 did not significantly affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies .” Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this position on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with the objective of improving financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The provisions of FAS 159 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

Item 7.  Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
  Analytical Surveys, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Analytical Surveys, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows the year then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audit provides 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 Analytical Surveys, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered significant operating losses in 2007 and prior years and does not currently have external financing in place to fund working capital requirements, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
(a)
Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Founded in 1981, we have historically served as a provider of data conversion and digital mapping services to users of customized geographic information systems. However, we have experienced a steady decrease in the demand for our services over the past five years; our backlog has decreased substantially in each of the past five years; and we have been unsuccessful in winning new business at acceptable margins. In fiscal 2006, we acted upon our belief that we would not be able to sustain the operations of our historical business. We transitioned our principal business into that of an independent oil and gas enterprise focused on leveraging non-operating participation in drilling and production prospects for the development of U.S. on-shore oil and natural gas reserves.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
(b)
Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents

 
(c)
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years.  Repairs and maintenance are charged directly to operations as incurred.

 
(d)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based upon the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated.  As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0 and $80, respectively.

 
(e)
Revenue and Cost Recognition

Contract revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method based on the cost-to-cost method, whereby the percentage complete is based on costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs to be incurred.  Costs associated with obtaining new contracts are expensed as incurred.  We generally do not combine or segment contracts for purposes of recognizing revenue.  Reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as revenue.

Customers are billed based on the terms included in the contracts, which are generally upon delivery of certain products or information, or achievement of certain milestones defined in the contracts.  When billed, such amounts are recorded as accounts receivable.  Revenue earned in excess of billings represents revenue related to services completed but not billed, and billings in excess of revenue earned represent billings in advance of services performed.

- 28 -


Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and depreciation costs.  Losses on contracts are recognized in the period such losses are determined.  We do not believe warranty obligations on completed contracts are significant.  Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

We follow the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas revenue recognition and natural gas imbalances.  Volumes of natural gas sold may differ from the volumes we are entitled to based upon our interests in the properties.  These differences in volumes create imbalances that are recognized as a liability only when the properties’ estimated remaining reserves to the Company will not be sufficient to enable the underproduced owner to recoup its entitled share through production.   Historically, natural gas sales volumes have not been significantly different from our entitled share of the production.

 
(f)
Oil and Natural Gas Properties.

In February and March 2006, we purchased working interests in two oil and natural gas properties along with certain fixtures and equipment used in connection with the operation of the wells associated with one of the properties.  In May 2006, we purchased a 12.5% working interest, in a relatively deep Anadarko Basin natural gas well known as the Adrienne 1-9, located in Washita County, Oklahoma.

We use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.  Management believes adoption of the full cost method more accurately reflects management's exploration objectives and results by including all costs incurred as integral for the acquisition, discovery and development of whatever reserves ultimately result from our efforts as a whole.  Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized.  Such costs include lease acquisitions, seismic surveys, drilling and completion equipment, estimated future development costs and, where significant, dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values. All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves.

Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs.  Unproved or unevaluated properties are evaluated periodically for impairment on a property-by-property basis.  If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the proved oil and natural gas property costs to be amortized.

The capitalized costs are subject to a "full cost ceiling test," which generally limits such costs to the aggregate of the "estimated present value," discounted at a 10 percent (10%) interest rate, of future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.  If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations through depreciation, depletion and amortization.  Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.

We proportionally consolidate our interests in oil and natural gas properties.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserve Estimates

The process of estimating quantities of proved reserves is inherently uncertain, and the reserve data included in this document are estimates prepared by Pinnacle Energy Services, L.L.C., independent petroleum engineers. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The process relies on interpretation of available geologic, geophysical, engineering and production

- 29 -


data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions regarding drilling and operating expense, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The SEC mandates some of these assumptions such as oil and natural gas prices and the present value discount rate.

Proved reserve estimates prepared by others may be substantially higher or lower than our estimates. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may differ from actual results, reserve quantities actually recovered may be significantly different than estimated. Material revisions to reserve estimates may be made depending on the results of drilling, testing, and rates of production.

You should not assume that the present value of future net cash flows is the current market value of our estimated proved reserves. In accordance with SEC requirements, we based the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves on market prices and costs on the date of the estimate, which is September 30, 2007.

The rate at which we record depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for proved properties is dependent on our estimate of proved reserves.  If these reserve estimates decline, the rate at which we record these expenses will increase.

Our full cost ceiling test also depends on our estimate of proved reserves. If these reserve estimates decline, we may be subjected to additional full cost ceiling write-downs.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “(SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.”  SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of the liability for asset retirement costs be recognized in an entity’s balance sheet, as both a liability and an increase in the carrying values of such assets, in the periods in which such liabilities can be reasonably estimated.  The present value of the estimated future asset retirement obligation “(ARO”), as of the date of acquisition or the date at which a successful well is drilled, is capitalized as part of the costs of proved oil and natural gas properties and as a noncurrent liability.  The asset retirement costs, which consist primarily of plugging and abandonment obligations, are depleted over the useful life of the asset.  The ARO is also recorded at fair value, and accretion expense recognized as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value.  The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit adjusted risk free interest rate.

Inherent in the fair value calculation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments.  To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and natural gas property balance.  Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recovered as a gain or loss upon settlement.

At September 30, 2007, we had an accrued liability for asset retirement obligations of $6,293, all of which was classified as long-term in the balance sheet.

 
(h)
Income Taxes

Income taxes are reflected under the liability method, which establishes deferred tax assets and liabilities to be 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. 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.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that we record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that we will not be able to utilize it to offset future

- 30 -


taxes.  Due to the size of the net operating loss carryforward in relation to our recent history of unprofitable operations and due to the continuing uncertainties surrounding our future operations as discussed above, we have not recognized any of this net deferred tax asset.  We currently provide for income taxes only to the extent that we expect to pay cash taxes (primarily state taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax) on current taxable income.

 
(i)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

We account for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS 144 requires that our long-lived assets be assessed for potential impairment in their carrying values whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate such impairment may have occurred.  An impairment charge to current operations is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying value. Any such impairment is recognized based on the differences in the carrying value and estimated fair value of the impaired asset.

In addition, we are subject to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to impairment of oil and gas properties accounted for under the full cost method of accounting, as described above.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to October 1, 2006, we accounted for employee options under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” ("APB 25"). Accordingly, we would recognize compensation expense only if we granted options with a discounted exercise price. Any resulting compensation expense would then have been recognized ratably over the associated service period. Except for the grant of inducement options to our former chief executive officer in a period not covered by this report, no stock-based employee compensation expense relating to our stock options was reflected in net loss, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the respective date of grant. Prior to October 1, 2006, we provided pro-forma disclosure amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard, (“SFAS”) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” ("SFAS No. 123"), had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”, using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore we have not restated prior periods' results. Under this transition method, employee stock-based compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2007, includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted, but not yet fully exercisable, prior to October 1, 2006. The fair value of the options granted was determined at the original grant dates in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after September 30, 2006, is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. We recognize these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the options.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R, we recorded $16,530 of additional compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2007, than would have been recorded if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. There was no impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on either basic or diluted earnings per share for the year ended September 30, 2007.  At September 30, 2007, the unamortized value of employee stock options under SFAS No. 123R was approximately $17,539. The unamortized portion will be expensed at the rate of $13,791 and $3,748 in the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008, and 2009, respectively.

For the year ended September 30, 2006, under APB 25, no stock-based employee compensation expense relating to our stock options was reflected in net loss, as all options granted under our plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the respective dates of grant.

- 31 -


For our pro forma information for the year ended September 30, 2006, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the respective date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used:

Year  Ended September 30, 2006
Dividend yield
0%
Anticipated volatility
92 - 124%
Risk-free interest rate
4.0 -6.0%
Expected lives
2 – 3.5 years

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during fiscal year 2006 based on the respective dates of grant and using the fair value based method was $0.14.

During the year ended September 30, 2006, 120,000 options were granted to our three new directors, and 265,000 options were granted to four members of the management team, including 100,000 options to our current CEO.

During the year ended September 30, 2006, we granted 95,000 options to members of our workforce as incentive to sustain performance.  These options have an exercise price ranging from $1.34 to $1.37.  Additionally, 50,000 and 50,000 options with exercise prices of $1.27 and $0.69, respectively, were granted to our Chief Executive Officer; 30,000 10,000, and 50,000 options with exercise prices of $1.31, $1.37, and $0.69, respectively, were granted to our Senior Vice President; 50,000 options were granted to our Executive Vice President with an exercise price of $.69.  We also granted 20,000 options with an exercise price of $1.27 to each of the three members of our Board of Directors.  The exercise price of all options granted during the twelve-month period was the market price of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant.

Had compensation costs for our stock based compensation been determined at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, our net loss and net loss per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share include the effects of the potential dilution of outstanding options, warrants, and convertible debt on our Common Stock as determined using the treasury stock method.

All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our earnings per share calculation; the conversion of 220,000 shares pursuant to our Convertible Preferred Stock are antidilutive for the

- 32 -


years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and therefore they have been excluded.  Additionally, for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, potential dilutive common shares under our convertible instruments, warrant agreements and stock option plans of 6,864,000 and 2,037,000, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they were antidilutive.

 
(l)
Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are estimated to approximate estimated fair values. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates and short-term maturities of these instruments.  Our $1.65 million senior secured note, which was issued on November 24, 2006, was recorded at a discount of $936,000 which represented the fair value of warrants issued pursuant to the note and the related beneficial conversion feature.  Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2007 includes the amortization of the $936,000 discount.  As a consequence of the Convertible Note default, the entire discount was accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs were written off.  The Convertible Notes are reflected at their par value as of September 30, 2007.

(m)
Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash with a major U.S. domestic bank.  The amounts held in this bank exceed the insured limit of $100,000 from time to time.  The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk.  We have not incurred losses related to these deposits.

 
(n)
Operating Cycle

In accordance with industry practice, we include in current assets and liabilities amounts relating to long-term contracts, which generally have operating cycles extending beyond one year. Other assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current on the basis of expected realization within or beyond one year.

(2)
Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During fiscal years 2000 through 2007, we experienced significant operating losses with corresponding reductions in working capital and net worth, excluding the impact of debt forgiveness, and do not currently have any external financing in place to support operating cash flow requirements.  Our revenues and backlog have also decreased substantially during the same period, and we have not generated sufficient cash flow from oil and gas investments to sustain our operations.  If we do not have the cash flow necessary to meet our operating and capital requirements, we will be forced to seek additional financing, which may be available only at unfavorable interest rates or not available at all.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To address the going concern issue, management implemented financial and operational restructuring plans designed to improve operating efficiencies, reduce and eliminate cash losses.  In fiscal 2006, we ultimately decided to expand our business strategy outside of our traditional business as a GIS service provider after concluding that our existing GIS business could not be sustained.  We issued the Convertible Preferred and the Senior Notes to secure funds to invest in non-operating working interests in oil and natural gas leasehold interests.  We sold our Wisconsin-based production center and assigned certain contracts in order to reduce working capital requirements on contracts that required substantial investment in the early stages of the contracts, realizing $235,000 in cash proceeds.  We completed a long-term contract and, as of the date of this report, have collected substantially all of the accounts receivable related to the contract.  We have reduced our general and administrative expenses by reducing occupancy costs and streamlining our management and production teams.  Our new business strategy requires significantly less operational expenses.

- 33 -



In fiscal 2007, we continued to transition our principal business into that of an independent oil and gas enterprise focused on leveraging non-operating participation in drilling and production prospects for the development of U.S. on-shore oil and natural gas reserves. Our entry into the oil and natural gas exploration and production business is very recent.  Although several oil and gas investments have been made, the Washita County well is our largest and only productive investment to date, and it has not yielded production that will support our operations. On November 20, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Axion International, Inc.  The merger was expected to close by December 31, 2007.  While all parties continue to work diligently to consummate the merger, there is no assurance that will occur in an anticipated time frame or at all. If consummated, the merger will result in a new change in business strategy, and there is no assurance that the new strategy will be successful.  We may be forced to seek additional alternative transaction or, in the extreme case, we could be forced to liquidate our assets to meet our future obligations.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and the classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

(3)
Oil and natural gas properties and equipment

As of September 30, 2007, we own non-operating working interests in three properties in Oklahoma.  Our 10.0% working interest (7.35% net revenue interest) in a relatively deep Anadarko Basin natural gas well known as the Adrienne 1-9, located in Washita County, Oklahoma, is our largest and most significant investment to date.  As of September 30, 2007, our investment in this well totaled $1.96 million, which includes our proportionate share of intangible costs of drilling and completing the well.  The Adrienne 1-9 is operated by Range Resources Corporation.

We own a 20.0% working interest (16.7% net revenue interest) in a well designated as the Welker 1-7, located in Pawnee County, Oklahoma.  Our capital investment to date in this property totals $300,000.  We entered into an operating agreement with the seller and owner of the remaining 80% working interest. The well was completed in March 2006 and has produced small amounts of oil from the Prue formation.  In April 2007, the operator initiated completion to the coal bed zones by perforating and fracturing the Iron Post and Dawson formations.  The de-watering process typical to coal bed zones requires four to six months or longer before reaching the full potential gas production from the well.  As of the date of this report, the well has not produced a sufficient level of gas to facilitate commercial sale.  If a sufficient level is not achieved in fiscal 2008, we plan to divest or abandon our ownership of the interest.

We own a 25% working interest in three wells designated as Shields No. 1, 2, and 3, located in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, plus a 100% interest in certain fixtures and equipment used in connection with the operation of the wells. One well has been permitted as a water disposal well.  The operator plans to re-enter one of the other wells and deepen to a proven structure.  If successful, the third well will also be re-entered and deepened.  Our investment in these wells included $150,000 cash and 129,032 shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (equal to the closing bid on March 14, 2006) of $1.55 per share, or $200,000. In July 2006, to eliminate additional investment in these wells, we exchanged one-half of our working interest in return for a carry of all costs associated with drilling and recompletion activities associated with our remaining working interest in the three wells.  We do not plan to invest additional capital in this property.  This property is currently classified as unproven.

In January 2007 we entered into an agreement with H&S Production of Dallas, Texas (“H&S”), to participate in the drilling and completion of the Haun #1-A located in Grayson County, Texas, which also included rights and drilling obligations for additional drilling activities in the surrounding field.  We also purchased a 5% working interest in a well in Jack County, Texas, through our relationship with H&S.  We evaluated these investments in June 2007, which totaled approximately $184,000 with an additional $100,000 drilling obligation payable.  Based on initial drilling results, cost overruns, and delays in pipeline availability, we elected to convey the properties to a third party for $120,000 cash and a release from the immediate and future obligations.  The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and as such, the excess carrying cost of the property sold versus the consideration received was transferred to proven properties subject to amortization.

- 34 -


In January 2007 we entered into an agreement with South Texas Operating Company out of San Antonio, Texas to participate in the drilling and completion of the Stroman-Armstrong #5 located in Webb County, Texas. We purchased 2% working interest in the well that was drilled to a total depth of approximately 14,500 feet to test the 5th Hennant Sand.  In May 2007, and prior to completion of the well, we acted upon an opportunity to sell the working interest and divest ourselves of the interest and all future drilling obligations.  The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and as such, the excess carrying cost of the property sold versus the consideration received was transferred to proven properties subject to amortization.

As discussed above, we follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.  Based upon the full cost ceiling test required by this method of accounting, we recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $2,005,000 for the year ended September 30, 2007.  No such impairment was recorded for fiscal year 2006.

Depletion of producing oil and gas properties totaled $97,000 and $300 for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On November 24, 2006, we issued to three investors, three one-year senior secured convertible notes (“collectively, the Convertible Notes”) totaling $1.65 million pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 24, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Convertible Notes, together with interest that accrues at the rate of 13% per annum, are convertible into 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.695 per share, which was $0.135 per share above fair market value of our Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date of November 24, 2006. Upon maturity at November 24, 2007 (see Note 15), any unconverted outstanding principal and interest is due and payable in cash. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we issued to the investors warrants to purchase 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock at $0.57 per share (“Note Warrants”), which was $0.01 above the fair market value of our Common Stock on the trading date preceding the closing date. The Note Warrants are exercisable any time after May 24, 2007, and before November 24, 2011. Net proceeds after expenses totaled approximately $1.456 million. Proceeds are being used for working capital and to fund additional investments in oil and natural gas non-operating interests.  We also paid a cash finder’s fee of $132,000 and issued warrants to purchase 189,928 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.57 per share to the placement agent, Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC.

The sale of the Convertible Notes and Note Warrants was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.  Our registration statement on Form S-3/A, registering 1,247,454 shares of Common Stock, which represents 33% of our issued and outstanding shares, and which are issuable pursuant to the partial conversion of our Convertible Notes, was declared effective by the SEC on March 14, 2007.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we will file additional registration statements on Form S-3 or other eligible Form to register 130% of the total shares issuable under the transaction.

We recorded the Convertible Notes at a discount after giving effect to the $272,300 estimated fair market value of the Note Warrants, which was credited to equity. The Note Warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, annual volatility of 1.25%, and risk free interest rate of 4.56%.  During the fourth quarter of 2007, we realized the volatility assumption used in this calculation was incorrect and as a result, revised the volatility factor upward to 145% as a more accurate measure of the historical volatility of our stock, which

- 35 -


increased the estimated fair value of the Note Warrants based upon the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to $1,015,000.  Pursuant to EITF 98-5, we reallocated the proceeds from the offering to the Note Warrants and the Convertible Notes based upon the relative fair market value, which resulted in the Note Warrants being assigned a fair value of $628,000, a $356,000 increase in the discount versus the original calculation.  We then revised our analysis of the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes and determined that, due to the increased value attributable to the Note Warrants as a result of the revised volatility factor, a beneficial conversion feature existed in the amount of $308,000, which would have further discounted the Convertible Notes.  All such adjustments were made in the fourth quarter of 2007.  As a consequence of the Convertible Note default, the entire discount was accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2007, the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs were written off and we recognized additional interest expense of $739,000.  The Convertible Notes are reflected in the balance sheet at their par value as of September 30, 2007.

We incurred financing costs totaling $183,500 pursuant to the Convertible Notes, including the finder’s fee, a 1% due diligence fee paid to the investors, and legal and professional fees.  These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the one year term of the Convertible Notes.  After giving effect to the value of the Note Warrants and the financing costs, the effective rate of interest on the Convertible Notes is 56%.

On March 22, 2007, we issued 10,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of $6,950 in principal of one of the Convertible Notes.  In conjunction with the conversion, we reclassified the proportionate (approximately 5%) balance of the deferred financing cost and discount to equity.

On April 4, 2007, our Common Stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.  Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, failure to be listed on a major exchange constitutes an Event of Default.  On September 30, 2007, we entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement whereby each of the holders of the Convertible Notes, waived its right to accelerate payment of the Convertible Notes for the then existing events of default which occurred as a result of the Company's delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, as well as from a failure to timely effect a reverse stock split.

On May 30, 2006, we issued 14% convertible senior secured promissory notes to two holders in the principal amount of $1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, (each, a “Senior Note”, and collectively the “Senior Notes”). The holders also received warrants entitling them to purchase, in the aggregate, 752,072 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.186 per share, which was the closing bid price of our Common Stock on May 31, 2006 (“Class E Warrants”).  On September 19, 2006, the holders exercised their right to accelerate the maturity of the Senior Notes to October 19, 2006, due to the failure of our shareholders to approve certain conversion terms and the issuance of additional warrants at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on August 29, 2006.  On October 18, 2006, we paid the outstanding principal and interest of the Senior Notes, which totaled $2,012,274, utilizing cash reserves and the collection of $1.0 million of accounts receivable subsequent to September 30, 2006.
We recorded the Senior Notes at a discount after giving effect to the $80,424 estimated fair value of the Class E Warrants, which was credited to equity. We amortized the discount as interest expense over the two-year term of the Senior Notes until September 19, 2006, on which date we accelerated the rate of accretion to reflect the new maturity date of October 19, 2006. The remaining unearned discount of $43,196 as of September 30, 2006, was recorded as interest expense through October 19, 2006.

We incurred expenses totaling approximately $249,000 related to the issuance of the Senior Notes. We recorded these expenses as prepaid or deferred financing costs. These expenses were amortized to other expense over the two-year term of the Senior Notes until September 19, 2006, on which date we accelerated the rate of amortization to reflect the new maturity date of October 19, 2006. The unamortized balance of these deferred costs, which totaled $133,728 on September 30, 2006, was recorded as other expense through October 19, 2006.
 
Required principal payments on long-term debt at September 30, 2007 are $1.658 million for the year ending September 30, 2008; $300 for fiscal 2009; and $0 for fiscal 2010.

(5)       Redeemable Preferred Stock

On December 28, 2001, we issued 1.6 million shares of no par value Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with a face value of $3.2 million, pursuant to the extinguishment of a bank credit agreement.  In fiscal 2004, we redeemed 1,341,000 shares of the Preferred Stock.  The early redemption reduced the number of preferred shares outstanding to 258,900 shares and reduced a mandatory redemption payment, which was classified as a current liability, from $800,000 to $129,450. Pursuant to the mandatory redemption term of our Preferred Stock, we redeemed 92,465 shares of the 258,900 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at $1.40 per share in December 2004 for $129,450 cash.

We were entitled to redeem the remaining 166,435 shares at $1.80 per share, or $299,583, until December 27, 2006, or at $2.00 per share, or $332,870, on December 28, 2006.  On February 1, 2006, we issued 318,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, which had a carrying value of approximately $269,000 and a current redemption price of $299,583.  The transaction eliminated all of our obligations related to the Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends of approximately $61,000, which was relinquished by the holders as part of the transaction.  We recorded interest expense totaling approximately $31,000 upon redemption of the Preferred Stock in order to accrete the carrying value to the current redemption price of $299,583.  We reduced our current liabilities related to the Preferred Stock by $299,583, with a corresponding increase in stockholders' equity pursuant to the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for the elimination of the liability.  We recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $61,000 related to the relinquishment of accrued dividends by the holder.

On February 10, 2006, we issued 760,000 shares of a Series A Convertible Preferred (“Convertible Preferred”) with gross aggregate proceeds of approximately $760,000.  The two-year Convertible Preferred may be converted into 598,425 shares of Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.27, which was determined by applying a 10% discount to the 5-day trailing average closing price of Common Stock of $1.41 on February 9, 2006.  The holders of the Convertible Preferred received Class A Warrants that entitle them to purchase up to 299,212 shares of Common Stock at $1.34, or 101% of the closing bid price on February 10, 2006, and an equivalent number of Class B Warrants (collectively, the “February Warrants”) that carry an exercise price of $1.49, or 112% of the closing bid price on February 10, 2006.  We also issued 82,678 Class A Warrants and 82,678 Class B Warrants to certain parties as a finder’s fee.  The February Warrants are exercisable after six months from the date of closing until their expiration three years from the date of closing.  A Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register all shares issuable pursuant to the Convertible Preferred and related Warrants was declared effective on April 12, 2006.

The Convertible Preferred earns dividends at a rate of 7% per annum.  We recorded the Convertible Preferred at its offering price of $1 per share, net of the estimated $22,171 fair value of the February Warrants.   We used the Black Scholes model to determine the value of the February Warrants.

The market value of Common Stock on the date that the Convertible Preferred was sold was $1.32 per share.  In accordance with EITF 00-27, this created a beneficial conversion feature to the holders of the Convertible Preferred and a deemed dividend to the preferred stockholders totaling approximately $30,000. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is the difference in fair market value of Common Stock on the grant date of the Convertible Preferred less the conversion price, multiplied by the number of shares that are issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred, or $0.05 for each of 598,425 shares of Common Stock.

The deemed dividend was recorded with a corresponding amount recorded as convertible preferred stock.  The deemed dividend is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying Common Stock less the proceeds that have been received for the Convertible Preferred.

At September 30, 2007, after the conversion of 480,000 Convertible Preferred shares during fiscal year 2006 into Common Stock, we had 280,000 Convertible Preferred shares outstanding that are convertible into 220,472 of Common Stock on or before February 9, 2008.

(7)       Leases

We lease our facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements.  Certain of the equipment leases are classified as capital leases.  During fiscal 2006, we acquired equipment totaling approximately $11,000, which is included as a component of our equipment and leasehold improvements.  We sold certain equipment under leases totaling $11,000 in connection with the sale of our Wisconsin production facility and other unrelated miscellaneous transactions.  Accumulated depreciation relating to these assets was approximately $6,400 at September 30, 2007.  Amounts due under operating and capital leases at September 30, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

Income Taxes

We have not recorded any income tax expense or benefit for fiscal years 2007 and 2006 due to our substantial operating losses and the valuation allowance applied against our deferred tax assets.

At September 30, 2007, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32.5 million that will expire through September 30, 2027.  We recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized due to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to fully realize the deferred tax assets.  For the year ended September 30, 2007, the valuation allowance increased by approximately by $1,885,000.

Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Options

We may issue up to 2.5 million shares of preferred stock, no par value, with dividend requirements, voting rights, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and premiums, conversion rights and other terms without a vote of the shareholders.  In February 2006, we issued 760,000 shares of Convertible Preferred, together with the related February Warrants and possible dividends paid in kind.  Terms of the

- 38 -


issuance are more fully discussed in Note 6.  In May 2006, we issued 752,072 Class E Warrants to the holders of our Senior Notes.  In November 2006 we issued 2,564,029 Note Warrants to the holders of our Convertible Notes.  Terms of the issuances are more fully discussed in Notes 4 and 6.

We currently have five nonqualified stock option plans with 261,888 shares available for grant as of September 30, 2007. Two of the plans expired on September 30, 2003 and 2007; options outstanding under those plans will remain outstanding until exercised or cancelled, but no new options will be issued under those plans. The exercise price of the options are established by the Board of Directors on the date of grant and are generally equal to the market price of the stock on the grant date. Options vest at the end of the fiscal year of grant or equally over a one or two year period from the date of grant or at 25% six months from date of grant and 25% on the anniversary dates of the grant thereafter, as determined by the Board of Directors. The options are exercisable in whole or in part for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant. The options may vest earlier under certain circumstances, such as a change in control.

We granted 135,000 options during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2007.  We granted 65,000 options to our CEO with an exercise price of $0.53, and 15,000 and 5,000 options to each of two newly appointed directors at exercise prices of $0.59 and $0.52, each of which was the fair market value on the date of grant.  Upon the resignation of one of these directors, 11,250 and 3,750 of these options, respectively, were forfeited.  We also granted 15,000 options to each of two executive officers at an exercise price of $0.53, which was the fair market value on the date of grant; these options were forfeited on May 15, 2007, as no options were vested when the executive officers’ employment was terminated.  The weighted average exercise price of options granted during the year ended September 30, 2007 was $0.54.

To compute compensation expense in fiscal 2007, we estimated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  The Black-Scholes model incorporates variable assumptions which include: the expected volatility, which is based on the historical volatility of our traded stock; the expected term calculated using the simplified method permitted by the SEC Staff

- 39 -


Accounting Bulletin No. 107; the expected dividend yield based on historical patterns and peer group performance; and the risk free rate, based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant corresponding to the expected term.  We have not historically declared a dividend on our Common Stock and do not anticipate that we will declare a dividend in the foreseeable future and therefore used a dividend yield of zero.  We used historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model.  The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions as follows:  volatility, 91.6%, risk-free interest rate, 4.5%, dividend yield, 0.0% and weighted-average expected life of the options, 3 years.

We have determined that shares of Common Stock for future exercises shall be from authorized but unissued shares of stock.

A summary of non-exercisable options at September 30, 2007, is shown below:

(10)
Employee Benefit Plan

We sponsor a qualified tax deferred savings plan in accordance with the provisions of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees may defer up to 50% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations. We match 50% of employee contributions up to 4% of their compensation. We contributed approximately $5,000 and $15,000 to the plan in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(11)
Concentrations of Credit Risk

Our GIS services have historically been subject to a concentration of credit risk. At September 30, 2007, our accounts receivable related to GIS services, which totaled approximately $21,500, was due from one customer.  During fiscal 2007, 57% of our GIS service revenue was earned from services rendered to that customer, Utility Pole Technologies (“UPT”), and 42% of our revenues were rendered to Worldwide Services, Inc, and Intergraph (“WWS”) pursuant to a contract that was completed in the first fiscal quarter of 2007.

Revenue from WWS and two others accounted for 70% (35%, 23%, and 12%) of our consolidated revenues for the year ended September 30, 2006.

Litigation and Other Contingencies

In August 2007 we received an alias summons notifying us that we have been named as an additional party to a suit filed in the State of Indiana in March 2006 by certain homeowners in the Sycamore Springs neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana (“Toomer Litigation”).  The summons names the developer of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood as well as other firms that may have rendered professional services during the development of the neighborhood.  The claimants allege that various Mid-States Engineering, entities that are alleged to be subsidiaries of MSE Corporation which we acquired in 1997, adversely affected the drainage system of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood, and seek damages from flooding that occurred on September 1, 2003.  Defense actions were provided by our insurance carrier, which agreed to settle the claim in December 2007 for an undisclosed amount.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded a $100,000 obligation payable to our insurer, which represents our deductible pursuant to the terms of our insurance coverages.

In November 2005, we received an alias summons notifying us that we have been named as a party to a similar suit filed by the Sycamore Springs Homeowners Association in the State of Indiana (“Sycamore Springs litigation”).  The summons names principally the same defendants as in the Toomer Litigation, and the claims arise from the same occurrence.  Defense actions are being provided by our professional liability insurance carrier.  We have not recorded any liability pursuant to this litigation as the claims from the two lawsuits arise from a single occurrence with one deductible applying to the matter.  Although the carrier has reserved its rights pursuant to the matter, we believe our defense is viable and may not result in any additional obligations.

In November 2007, we received a summons for a suit filed in the State of Indiana by the developers of the Sycamore Springs neighborhood.  The developers allege that Mid-States Engineering breached its contract to provide professional engineering design services in connection with the development of the
- 40 -

Sycamore Springs neighborhood.  All parties have agreed that no actions will be taken pursuant to this claim pending the outcome of the Sycamore Springs litigation.   We believe that their claim is without merit.  Additionally, should defense be necessary, the claims arise from a single occurrence with one deductible applying to the matter.

We are also subject to various other routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that any of these routine legal proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

(13)
Segment Information

We classify our business operations into two segments:  our GIS service business and our oil and gas activities.  Segment data includes revenue, operating income, including allocated costs charged to each of the operating segments, equipment investment, net accounts receivable.  At September 30, 2006, segment assets also included revenue earned in excess of billings on long-term GIS contracts.

We have not allocated interest expense and other non-segment specific expenses to individual segments to determine our performance measure. Non-segment assets to reconcile to total assets consist of corporate assets including cash, prepaid expenses and deferred taxes (in thousands).

Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands the disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  The changes to current practice resulting from the application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability at the measurement date (an exit price) and not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date (an entry price).  SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement and subsequently a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  SFAS No. 157 also clarifies that the market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk, and assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  SFAS No. 157 should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the year in which it is initially applied.  A limited form of retrospective application of SFAS No. 157 is allowed for certain financial instruments.   We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 157 to determine the potential impact, if any, the adoption will have on our financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events

On November 20, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Axion International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Axion”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our newly formed and direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Axion Acquisition Corp. a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  As consideration for the transaction, shareholders of Axion will receive 36,762,552 shares of our Common Stock, constituting approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding capital.  The Company, Merger Sub and Axion have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, and the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.

Axion is the exclusive licensee of advanced technology regarding plastic composition, which technology is the subject of U.S. patents and patent applications owned by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.  Axion has not yet manufactured or distributed products.  To date, its operations consist of raising capital and preparing for its first commercial product sale.  There is no guarantee that it will be able to sale product or generate revenues. As such, regardless of whether the merger closes, we will have to obtain additional funds.  We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds or, if we are able to obtain funds, that the terms will be acceptable to us.

While we expected the merger with Axion to have closed by December 31, 2007, as of the date of this filing, both parties continue to work toward closing.  However, there can be no assurance that a closing will occur in a timely manner or at all.

We were unable to repay the principal of the Convertible Notes upon maturity on November 24, 2007.  On December 31, 2007, we entered into an Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Convertible Notes from November 24, 2007 until March 31, 2008, and, whereby each of the holders of the Convertible Notes waived a default that occurred when we failed to repay the principal pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes.  In consideration of the extension and waiver of default, we reduced the conversion price of the Convertible Notes from $0.695 to $0.10.  If the holders of the Convertible Notes convert any or all of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, we may issue up to 16,430,500 shares of our Common Stock.  As additional consideration, the exercise price of Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,374,101 shares of our Common Stock was reduced from $0.695 to $0.10. Accordingly, the maximum potential proceeds from the exercise of these Note Warrants has been
- 42 -

reduced to $237,410 from approximately $1.4 million. We also agreed to release each holder from any and all claims it might have against each holder as of December 31, 2007.

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information

We own one producing natural gas well in Washita County, Oklahoma, known as the Adrienne 1-9.  Proved gas reserve quantities are based on estimates prepared by Pinnacle Energy Services, LLC, (“Pinnacle”) in accordance with guidelines established by the SEC.

We had no proved reserves prior to October 1, 2006.  In March 2006, we acquired a well in Pawnee County known as the Welker 1-7, which has produced a limited number of barrels of oil per day.  There are no proved reserves related to the Welker 1-7, which is being completed to its original target zones, which are coal bed methane sands.  All oil and gas revenues earned in fiscal 2006, which totaled $7,000, were derived from the Welker 1-7.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production. The following reserve data related to the properties represents estimates only and should not be construed as being exact. The reliability of these estimates at any point in time depends on both the quality and quantity of the technical and economic data, the performance of the reservoirs, as well as extensive engineering judgment. Consequently, reserve estimates are subject to revision as additional data becomes available during the producing life of a reservoir. The evolution of technology may also result in the application of improved recovery techniques, such as supplemental or enhanced recovery projects, which have the potential to increase reserves beyond those currently envisioned.

Estimates of proved reserves are derived from quantities of crude oil and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing operating and economic conditions and rely upon a production plan and strategy.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities (“SFAS No. 69”), requires calculation of future net cash flows using a 10% annual discount factor and year-end prices, costs and statutory tax rates, except for known future changes such as contracted prices and legislated tax rates. The average price used was $5.70 per Mcf of gas.

The following disclosures concerning the standardized measure of future cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 69. As prescribed by FAS 69, the amounts shown are based on prices and costs at the end of each period and a 10 percent annual discount factor.

Future cash flows are computed by applying fiscal year-end prices of natural gas to year-end quantities of proved natural gas reserves.  Future operating expenses and development costs are computed primarily by Pinnacle by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing our proved natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income taxes are computed based on currently enacted statutory rates, adjusted for tax deductions and credits available under current laws that relate to oil and gas producing activities.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended to represent the replacement costs or fair value of our natural gas properties.  An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, and a discount factor more representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in reserve estimates of natural gas and oil producing operation.

Item 8.  Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 8A.  Controls and Procedures

(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not

- 44 -


absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on her evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.  While conducting the audit of the financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2007, our independent auditors found significant audit adjustments that indicated a material weakness in our controls over financial reporting.  It is our plan to devote more resources to this function.

(b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting.  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-13(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Chief Accounting Officer resigned effective November 30, 2006.  His departure was part of our plan to streamline the management team in accordance with our reduced operational requirements.  Our Chief Executive Officer will continue to perform the role of Chief Financial Officer, supported by other accounting personnel.

Compensation of Directors

Each of our non-employee directors is entitled to receive quarterly cash compensation of $5,000 for attendance at each Board of Directors meeting and each committee meeting.  Committee chairmen and the Chairman of the Board are entitled to receive additional quarterly cash compensation of $1,250 for service as chairman.  However, no cash was paid to directors for fees earned during fiscal 2007.  Directors who are also our employees do not receive any additional compensation for their service on the Board..  In fiscal 2007, Mr. Cohn and a former director were granted options to purchase 15,000 and 5,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices of $0.59 and $0.52 pursuant to their election to the Board.  These options vested at the rate of 25% on each six month anniversary of the date of grant.  Options issued to the former director expired or were forfeited.

At September 30, 2007, accrued board fees totaled approximately $109,000.  We anticipate that we will issue 150,000 shares of our Common Stock in full settlement of all outstanding fees due to our directors upon the closing of the contemplated transaction of the Axion transaction.

Summary Description of Equity Compensation Plans That Have Not Been Approved by the Shareholders

2000 Stock Incentive Plan

In September 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Plan”). Pursuant to applicable law, the 2000 Plan has not been approved by our shareholders.  The 2000 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options, as determined by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors.

Number of Shares Subject to the 2000 Plan.  The 2000 Plan authorizes the grant of options relating to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock.  If any corporate transaction occurs which causes a change in our capitalization (for example, a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, or the like), the number of shares of stock available and the number of shares of stock subject to outstanding options granted under the 2000 Plan will be adjusted appropriately and equitably to prevent dilution or enlargement of a participant’s rights.

Eligibility for Participation.  Individuals eligible to participate in the 2000 Plan are our employees and employees of our subsidiaries, but not any of our or our subsidiaries’ officers.

Terms of Options.  Options granted to employees may be either incentive stock options (ISOs), which satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 422, or nonstatutory stock options (NSOs), which are not intended to satisfy such requirements.  The exercise price for the grant of an NSO under the 2000 Plan may be any price that is greater than or equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the NSO is granted.  The exercise price of an ISO must be at least equal to 100% (110% for 10%-shareholders) of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date the ISO is granted.  Options expire at the times determined by the committee, as specified in the applicable award agreement. However, no option is exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date, and any ISO granted to a 10%-shareholder must be exercisable on or before the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

Vesting and Acceleration.  Options vest at the times determined by the committee, as specified in the applicable award agreement. A participant’s options become fully vested upon the termination of the participant’s employment as a result of a reduction in force and upon the occurrence of our change in control.  In general, a change in control will be deemed to have occurred upon the acquisition by any person of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities (or securities subject to conversion into voting securities), the acquisition by any person of the power to elect a majority of our directors, certain mergers and other corporate transactions if the holder’s of our voting securities before the transaction receive less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the reorganized, merged or consolidated entity, after the transaction, and our complete liquidation or dissolution, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, if approval of our shareholders is required for the transaction.

Deduction to ASI.  We will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant.  The deduction generally will be allowed for our taxable year in which occurs the last day of the calendar year in which the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Term.  The 2000 Plan expires on September 8, 2010.

2000 Officer and Employee Recruitment Stock Incentive Plan

In September 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the 2000 Officer and Employee Recruitment Stock Incentive Plan (the “2000 Recruitment Plan”).  Pursuant to applicable law, the 2000 Recruitment Plan has not been approved by our shareholders.  The 2000 Recruitment Plan provides for the granting of ISOs and NSOs, as determined by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors.

Number of Shares Subject to the 2000 Recruitment Plan.  The 2000 Recruitment Plan authorizes the grant of options relating to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the case of a change in our capitalization in the same manner as is provided in the 2000 Plan (described above).

Eligibility for Participation.  An individual is eligible for participation in the 2000 Recruitment Plan if such individual has not been previously employed by us and the award of options is made in connection with the entry into an employment contract with such individual.

Terms of Options.  The options granted under the 2000 Recruitment Plan have the same terms as are described above with respect to the 2000 Plan.

Vesting and Acceleration.  The options granted under the 2000 Recruitment Plan are subject to the same vesting and acceleration provisions as are described above with respect to the 2000 Plan.

Deduction to ASI.  We will be entitled to deductions for options granted under the 2000 Recruitment Plan as described above with respect to the 2000 Plan.

Term.  The 2000 Recruitment Plan expires on September 8, 2010.

(b)
Audit-Related Fees.

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Malone & Bailey, PC for assurance and related services for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, were approximately $5,000.  Audit-related fees were related to various research matters and review of a proposed transaction.

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C., for assurance and related services in each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, were approximately $7,500 and $29,000, respectively.  Audit-Related Fees in both fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were related to multiple Registration Statements on Form S-3 filed with the SEC, and various research matters, as well as the change in auditing firms in fiscal 2007.

 
(c)

(e)
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies.

The Audit Committee has established a policy intended to clearly define the scope of services performed by our independent auditors for non-audit services.  This policy relates to audit services, audit-related services, tax and all other services which may be provided by our independent auditor and is intended to assure that such services do not impair the auditor’s independence.  The policy requires the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services to be provided by our independent auditor.  Under the policy, the Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee or its designee.  In addition, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.  The member or members to whom such authority is delegated is required to report to the Audit Committee at its next meeting any services which such member or members has approved.  The policy also provides that the Audit Committee will pre-approve the fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor.  Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All of the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm described above under the captions Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees were approved by the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee has determined that the auditor independence has not been compromised as a result of providing these services and receiving the fees for such services as noted above.
