Overview

Corporate History

Euro Trend Inc. was incorporated on March 27, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On October 20, 2008 we completed a Share Exchange Agreement whereby we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of Data Storage Corporation. In exchange we issued 13,357,143 shares of our common stock to the Data Storage Shareholders. This transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. Accordingly, Data Storage Corporation, the accounting acquirer, is regarded as the predecessor entity.

Overview of Data Storage Corporation & our industry

Data Storage Corporation (“Data Storage” or “DSC”). Data Storage provides technical professional services focused on managing customized, powerful, premium solutions for data protection, data management cloud computing including: Storage Infrastructure Design and Management, Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery, Virtualization, Data Archiving, Disk and Transaction Mirroring, and Internet Services..

Clients look to DSC to ensure disaster recovery and business continuity, strengthen security, and to meet increasing industry compliance, State and Federal regulations. The company markets to business, government, education, and the healthcare industry by leveraging leading technologies such as Virtualization, Cloud Computing, and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). The company provides hardware, Software-as-a-Service, managed IT services, installation, and maintenance. To protect and leverage customer investments, DSC provides a range of top-quality professional services and proactive customer support, directly, as well as through authorized partner organizations.

In 2009 revenues consisted primarily of offsite data backup, de-duplication, Continuous data protection, private cloud Disaster Recovery solutions, Electronic Medical Records, protecting information for our clients. We have operations in our datacenter in Westbury, New York and a disaster recovery facility which is located over 1,000 miles away from the primary data center. We deliver our services over a highly intelligent, reliable, redundant and secure fiber optic network, with separate and diverse routes to the Internet. The network and geographical diversity is important to clients seeking storage hosting and Disaster Recovery solutions, ensuring protection of data in the case of a network interruption.

Data Storage is in the position today to leverage our infrastructure and leadership team to grow revenue to significant levels by acquisitions of synergetic data protection and cloud storage businesses that provide data backup services, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, store data for future access for e-discovery, e – title and electronic medical information. DSC believes opportunities exist to acquire synergistic service providers to enhance our products and services portfolio, expand our management and increase our cash flow.

Our aim is to reduce costs through economies of scale while increasing local market share and consolidating efforts during the current economic environment. Over 4,000 service providers exist today, providing DSC with ample acquisition targets. Initial acquisitions will be derived from companies that offer similar services to Data Storage as greater economies of scale can be realized using this strategy improving net income. These acquisitions will become partners of DSC and continue to offer solutions under the DSC brand.

We believe that the opportunity exists today to roll up customer bases as well as acquire companies. This strategy will enable Data Storage to create a national presence as the premiere brand.. The roll up of these technical consulting companies and system integrators will also form a powerful distribution channel for both our current and future product service offerings. Acquisition activity including organic growth is forecasted at $6 Million for 2010 and $11 Million for 2011. These revenue outlooks form the base line revenue for each consecutive year since revenue is monthly recurring and normally under agreements that range from 12 months to 36 months.

Worldwide Storage-as-a-Service Demand

The marketplace providing professional services that specializing in Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity are segmented into systems integrators that have added data protection services as an additional product line adding to their bundle of services and products, focused on smaller clients. A few very large professional services providers such as IBM and SunGard focus on the enterprise level organizations greater than 1,500 employees, therefore leaving small and medium size organizations under-served for top level professional services for Disaster Recovery solutions under DSC’s professional services umbrella.

According to IDC in its recent research study entitled “Storage-as-a-Service: Commercial Opportunities,” demand for online storage services is very strong in small, mid-size, and large firms that are facing budgetary and IT staffing pressures. The study states that these firms are evaluating online storage services and storage capacity for backup/disaster recovery, long term record retention, business continuity and availability. DSC aims to meet this demand by recommending, implementing, and providing solutions in these areas. In its Worldwide Storage-as-a-Service Market Size and 2008-2012 Forecast, IDC predicts that customers will continue to invest strongly in various forms of online storage services, forecasting this market to pass the $3 billion mark by 2012, with a CAGR greater than 29% from 2007 to 2012.

On our Healthcare unit trends in the industry are as follows: Healthcare DPS, a division of Data Storage, provides data protection technology and services for hospitals, nursing and residential care facilities, physician’s offices, home healthcare service companies, dental offices, alternative healthcare offices, outpatient care centers, ambulatory healthcare service companies, and medical and diagnostic laboratories in the New York metropolitan area. Healthcare DPS assists Healthcare Providers in complying with HIPAA and other federal and local regulations on data protection. With zero tolerance for downtime, larger healthcare organizations require extremely reliable mission-critical data protection services. A host of state and industry regulators are now urging, and in some cases requiring, the development of business continuity and disaster recovery plans to ensure the backup, protection and recovery of data on a long-term basis. Internet Services over Ethernet is rapidly becoming the technology of choice to address these critical data center needs, because of its ability to provide transparent connectivity over the wide area. Data Storage offers an array of services in order to satisfy all of the aforementioned requirements.

As outlined in the 2008 HIMSS/HIMSS Analytics Ambulatory Healthcare I.T. Survey, there is no clear leader in the Electronic Medical Records market. According to BCC Research, software applications (EHR) is the dominating segment of the U.S. healthcare technology market, generating an estimated $3.4 billion, increasing to $7.2 billion in 2014; a CAGR of 16.4%. A June 2008 survey published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed only four percent of U.S. physicians providing direct patient care have a full EHR system, and only 13 percent have a basic system. Through the 2009 Economic Stimulus Package, the CMS will subsidize the cost of EHR systems by paying physicians $44,000 to $64,000 over five years, beginning in 2011, for deployment and ‘meaningful use’ of certified EHRs. According to a Congressional Budget Office review, the incentive is expected to increase physicians’ use of EHR to 90 percent in the next decade. Marketing EHR solutions and related services under its Healthcare DPS brand, DSC is well positioned to take advantage of increased state and federal regulations and incentives designed to transform healthcare from today's largely paper‐based disparate system to one that is electronic and interconnected.

On our E-commerce unit, the company provides low cost online data backup brand DataStor Live. DataStor Live is powered by cloud computing based platforms and provide service to home users, small-office and home-office workers. IDC projects the market for this type of service to grow to $715 million by 2011, up from $235 million in 2007. DataStor Live offers a similar service to EMC’s Mozy which was acquired in September 2007 from Berkley Data Systems in a $76M deal.

We have created significant momentum since the acquisition share exchange with Data Storage Corporation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has been funded by the CEO and majority shareholder combined with private placements of the company stock. The Company has been successful in raising money as needed. Further it is the intention of management to continue to raise money through stock issuances and to fund the Company on an as needed basis. In 2010 we intend to continue to work to increase our presence in the marketplace through both organic growth and acquisition of data storage service provider’s assets.

To the extent we are successful in growing our business, identifying potential acquisition targets and negotiating the terms of such acquisition, and the purchase price includes a cash component, we plan to use our working capital and the proceeds of any financing to finance such acquisition costs. Our opinion concerning our liquidity is based on current information. If this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, we may not be able to meet our liquidity needs.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 the company’s cash decreased to $28,160. The Company issued 842,185 shares of Common Stock for a price between $0.32 and $0.35 for an aggregate purchase price of $275,000.

The Company's working capital was ($169,721) at December 31, 2009, decreasing $208,530, from $38,809 at December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ) (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements , (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software ) (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

On October 20, 2008, Euro Trend Inc. ("Euro Trend") acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Data Storage Corporation (“Data Storage”). Data Storage became a wholly owned subsidiary of Euro Trend. On January 6, 2009 Euro Trend, Inc. filed with the state of Nevada changing its name to Data Storage Corporation. The business of Data Storage was the only business of Euro Trend after the acquisition.

Data Storage Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on August 29, 2001. Data Storage Corporation is a provider of data backup services. The Company specializes in secure disk-to-disk data backup and restoration solutions for disaster recovery, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.

Data Storage Corporation derives its revenues from the sale of solutions that provide businesses protection of critical electronic data. Primarily, these services consist of email storage and compliance solutions; off site data back up; continuous data protection; data duplication; high availability replication, virtual tape libraries for disaster recovery and business continuity and equipment sales. The Company has Data Centers in Westbury, New York and maintains equipment under a strategic alliance with Broadsmart a Voip company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to provide redundant data protection.

Liquidity

The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company has generated revenues of $585,285 but has incurred a net loss of $1,050,215. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, reduction of operation expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations. The Company has been funded by the CEO and majority shareholder since inception. It is the intention of Charles Piluso to continue to fund the Company on an as needed basis.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows the requirements of FASB ASC 718-10-10, Share Based Payments with regard to stock-based compensation issued to employees. The Company has various employment agreements and consulting arrangements that call for stock to be awarded to the employees and consultants at various times as compensation and periodic bonuses. The expense for this stock based compensation is equal to the fair value of the stock that was determined by using the most recent private placement price on the day the stock was awarded multiplied by the number of shares awarded.

Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall (“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ) (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software ) (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the time of purchase, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties

Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.

The Company's customers are primarily concentrated in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends and other information.

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the company had two customers that represented approximately 21% and 22% of sales, respectively.

Accounts Receivable/Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company sells its services to customers on an open credit basis. Accounts receivable are uncollateralized, non-interest-bearing customer obligations. Accounts receivables are due within 30 days. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the estimated accounts receivable that will not be collected due to credit losses and allowances. Provisions for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable are made for individual accounts based upon specific facts and circumstances including criteria such as their age, amount, and customer standing. Provisions are also made for other accounts receivable not specifically reviewed based upon historical experience.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Estimated useful lives in years for depreciation are 5 to 7 years for property and equipment. Additions, betterments and replacements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred. As units of property are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, line of credit and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value these accounts at December 31, 2009 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues consist principally of storage revenues. Storage revenues consist of monthly charges related to the storage of materials or data (generally on a per unit basis). Sales are generally recorded in the month the service is provided. For customers who are billed on an annual basis, deferred revenue is recorded and amortized over the life of the contract.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the costs associated with advertising as they are incurred. The Company incurred $30,399 and $32,477 for advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-5 Earnings Per Share, basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The inclusion of the potential common shares to be issued have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share because under the treasury stock method the average market price of the Company's common stock was less than the exercise prices of the warrants, and therefore they are not included in the calculation. Potentially dilutive securities at December 31, 2009 include 30,204 warrants and 2,929,432 options.

Share-based compensation expense for options totaling $21,277 and $44,000 was recognized in our results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively is based on awards vested. The options were valued at the grant date at $116,058.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of the warrants issued during the year was the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718-10-10, Share Based Payments. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the Warrants and is calculated by using the average daily historical stock prices through the day preceding the grant date.

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price.

The weighted average fair value of options granted and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are set forth in the table below.

	2009
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	0.29
Risk-free interest rate		3.07	%
Volatility		85	%
Expected life (years)		10
Dividend yield		0.00	%

As of December 31, 2009, there was approximately $38,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested employee options granted under the Company’s share based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4.5 years.

The Company had federal and state net operating tax loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,385,715 and $366,125, respectively as of December 31, 2009. The tax loss carry-forwards are available to offset future taxable income with the federal and state carry-forwards beginning to expire in 2028.

In 2009, net deferred tax assets did not change due to the full allowance. The Gross amount of the asset is entirely due to the Net operating loss carry forward. The realization of the tax benefits is subject to the sufficiency of taxable income in future years. The combined deferred tax assets represent the amounts expected to be realized before expiration.

The Company periodically assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible profits. As a result of this analysis of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will ultimately not be recovered and, accordingly, a valuation allowance was recorded as of December 31, 2009.

The difference between the expected income tax expense (benefit) and the actual tax expense (benefit) computed by using the Federal statutory rate of 34% is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2009			2008

Expected income tax benefit (loss) at statutory rate of 34%	$	346,661		$	124,483
State and local tax benefit, net of federal		61,175			21,967
Change in valuation account		(407,836	)		(146,450	)

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	-0-		$	-0-

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

At no time have there been any disagreements with our accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules based on the material weakness described below:

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United State’s generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management has determined that as of December 31, 2009, there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified during management’s assessment were (i) a lack of sufficient internal accounting expertise to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements and notes thereto, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties to ensure adequate review of financial statement preparation. In light of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In order to ensure the effectiveness of our disclosure controls in the future we intend on adding financial staff resources to our accounting and finance department.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

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