NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007 (UNAUDITED)
| NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| A. | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and for the three month period then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements”) were prepared in a condensed form in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and all the data and notes which are required when preparing annual financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. |
| B. | The accounting principles used in the presentation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those principles used in the presentation of the latest annual financial statements. All significant accounting policies have been applied consistently with the year ended December 31, 2007. |
| C. | The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the Interim Financial Statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended and the accompanying notes thereto. |
| D. | Principles of Consolidation |
| The Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of Defense Industries International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Export Erez, USA, Inc., Export Erez, Ltd., Mayotex, Ltd., Dragonwear Trading Ltd, Rizzo, Inc. (Owen Mills) and its 76% owned subsidiary Achidatex Nazareth Elite (1997) Ltd. for all periods presented (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

| E. | Earnings per common share |
| Basic net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 common stock equivalents to purchase 202,500 shares of common stock were not included in diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. |
| F. | Fair value |
| Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. |
| SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS 157 also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs, as follows: |
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or |
| Level 3 | Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. |
| Our trading securites are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices in actives markets for identical assets (Level 1). The effect of the first-time adoption of this statement had no material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |
| In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. This statement became applicable to the Company as of the year beginning January 1, 2008, and the Company did not elect to apply SFAS 159 to its financial assets and liabilities. Therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 has had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. |

| G. | Accounting for registration payment arrangements |
| The Company adopted as of January 1, 2007, FSP EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP”), which addresses an issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements. This FSP specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. This FSP further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. |
| As a result of our adoption of the FSP, the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and for the three months period then ended, includes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, liabilities and equity as follows: |

| H. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
| In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“FAS 158”). This Standard requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The Standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules, as well as modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. FAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements to be effective as of the end of the fiscal year after December 15, 2006 and measurement elements to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the remaining elements of this Statement to have a material impact on the company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows when adopted. |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations,” a revision of the original “SFAS No. 141". This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces the original Statement 141‘s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The Company is required to adopt the revised SFAS No. 141 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the revised SFAS No. 141 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also required expanded disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this Statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
| In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), ” Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities “. SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 ” Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities “ and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that SFAS 161 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The discussion and analysis which follows may contain trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth and forecasts, and similar matters that are not historical facts.
We remind shareholders that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause the future results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as well as information relating to the plans of our current management.
Overview
We are a manufacturer and global provider of personal military and civilian protective equipment and supplies. Our products are used by military, law enforcement, border patrol enforcement, and other special security forces, corporations, non-governmental organizations and individuals throughout the world.
Our main products include body armor, bomb disposal suits, bullet proof vests and jackets, ballistic wall coverings, bullet proof ceramic and polyethylene panels, V.I.P. car armoring and lightweight armor kits for vehicles, personal military equipment, dry storage systems, liquid logistic products, tents and other camping and travel gear.
We believe that current international tensions, the war on terrorism, and the continuing conflict in Iraq are all likely to result in additional interest in our products, and that the demand for our products will continue to grow.
We expect to address this growth by offering a comprehensive array of high quality branded security products that meet our customers’ increasingly complex security products requirements. We intend to enhance our position in the industry through additional strategic acquisitions that will broaden our portfolio of products.
The following elements define our growth strategy:
| — | Pursue strategic acquisitions. In addition to our acquisition of Owen Mills and of the operations of Chemoplast, we intend to continue to selectively pursue strategic acquisitions that complement our product offerings, provide access to new geographic markets, and provide additional distribution channels and new customer relations. |
| — | Expand Distribution Networks and Product Offerings. We expect to continue to strengthen our distribution network by expanding our range of branded law enforcement equipment through the acquisition of and by investing in development of new and enhanced products which complement our existing offerings. We believe that a broader product line will strengthen our relationships with distributors and enhance our brand appeal with military, law enforcement and other end users. |

Material Trends
Local Military Market. During 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the demand for our products increased, mainly due to the increased orders by the Israeli Ministry of Defense since the war between Israel and the Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August of 2006.
In addition, as a result of the Israeli Government’s evacuation of the Gaza strip, the Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, indicated that it will store its battlefield equipment for long periods in environments that will promote battlefield readiness and the capability of quick deployment. Further, as a result of the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, many Israeli reserve forces were activated, and a large amount of stored equipment was removed from dry-storage compartments and mobilized. Since then our military business has grown as a result of increased demand for our dry storage systems products, bulletproof vests and other military gear. As of May 14, 2008, we had a backlog of firm orders from the Israeli Ministry of Defense of approximately $7.3 million, including orders of approximately $4.7 million that we received subsequent to March 31, 2008. In the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, sales to the Israeli Ministry of Defense were $1,326,062 and $1,541,446, accounting for 42.4% and 39.4% of our sales, respectively.
Export Military Market. Since 2003, we have increased our export efforts as a consequence of the worldwide environment resulting from the events of September 11, 2001, the subsequent war on terrorism and the continuing conflict in Iraq. We are continuing our efforts to strengthen our position in our existing export markets in the U.S., South America, Asia and Europe, and to extend our presence to new export markets in South America and Europe and Australia. We believe that although these markets are inconsistent they are growing and that any future success in such markets is mainly dependant on our ability to be competitive in our pricing and the quality of our products.
The following table presents details of our export military sales during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Export Civilian Market. This market segment is based on one major US customer for flexible agriculture storage products. During 2007 this customer started his own limited production line for the same products he used to procure from us. While we believe that we will receive orders from this customer in the future, we do not expect such orders to be in the same magnitude as they were in the past.
Backlog. We had approximately $5.7 million of unfilled customer orders at March 31, 2008, out of which approximately $2.6 million was attributable to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, approximately $2.2 million was attributable to orders from civilian and military customers in Africa and Asia, approximately $700,000 was attributable to local civilian market, approximately $100,000 was attributable to orders from civilian and military customers in South America, and approximately $100,000 was attributable to orders from military customers in Europe.
Operations in the Erez Industrial Zone
During 2004, the Israeli Government decided to evacuate the Erez Industrial Zone in the Gaza Strip, where part of our operations were located. We owned facilities, leased other facilities and maintained equipment and inventory within this area. In 2005, we moved our “light cut and sew” operation from the Erez Industrial Zone to Sderot and some of our webbing equipment to Nazareth. In August 2005, we evacuated our remaining operations and abandoned the buildings we owned and leased in the Erez Industrial Zone.
13
The Israeli Government’s decision to evacuate the Gaza Strip was supported by certain resolutions, including the “Evacuation Compensation Law” that was adopted by the Israeli Parliament to compensate the Israeli Gaza Strip settlers as well as business and property owners in the Gaza Strip and in the Erez Industrial Zone. In February 2006, three of our subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex filed claims for compensation pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law. In 2005, we recorded a receivable from the Israeli Government of $217,477 related to our direct moving costs and loss on abandoned properties.
In 2006, we were notified that we would receive advance payments in the aggregate amount of $523,000. We applied this payment against the receivable established in 2005 and recorded the excess payment of $240,658, net of taxes, as extraordinary gain.
On February 18, 2008 our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex signed definitive agreements with SELA a government agency established pursuant to the Evacuation Compensation Law, for compensation of approximately $6.0 million, net of the $523,000 we received in 2007. The net compensation payments after our payment of approximately $600,000 of expanses has been recognized as an extraordinary gain net of the 5% taxes payment on such payment. Our three subsidiaries have received their payments in March 2008 and in May 2008.
Results of Operations
Key Indicators
Our management views revenues, the sources of our revenues, gross profit margin and the level of inventory compared to revenues as the key performance indicators in assessing our company’s financial condition and results of operations. While our management believes that demand for our products will continue to grow, our business is subject to a high degree of volatility because of the impact of geopolitical events and government budgeting.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased to $3,125,302 from $3,914,572 in the three months ended March 31,2007, a decrease of 20.1%. The decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in our military export and the civilian export market segments.
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, Export Erez accounted for $2,059,210 or 65.9%, of our revenues, Achidatex accounted for $798,875 or 25.6% of our revenues, and Owen Mills accounted for $267,217 or 8.5% of our revenues.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of sales by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.
| three months ended March 31, |
||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 |
2007 | |||||||
| Local civilian market | $ | 1,187,374 | $ | 880,965 | ||||

| Export military sales | 611,866 | 1,068,242 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 3,125,302 | $ | 3,914,572 | ||||
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $743,144 compared to $1,288,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues from sales and the decrease in production, resulting in a high level of fixed manufacturing expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, Achidatex, Export Erez and Owen Mills accounted for 20.3%, 76.9%, and 2.8%, of our gross profit, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2007 Achidatex, Export Erez and Owen Mills accounted for 32.0%, 59.8%, and 8.2%, of our gross profit, respectively.
14
Our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 declined to 23.8% compared to 32.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to the decrease in revenues and production, resulting in a high level of fixed manufacturing expenses. Achidatex’s gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 18.8% compared to 24.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Export Erez’s gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 27.8% compared to 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Owen Mills’ gross margin was 7.8% compared to 26.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased by 34.4% to $157,144 from $239,765 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in our selling expenses was attributable primarily to the decrease in export sales and commissions paid on export sales. Achidatex’s selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $62,514 compared to $76,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Export Erez’s selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $91,803 compared to $156,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Owen Mills selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $2,827 compared to $6,943 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by 30.1% to $538,325 from $413,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts receivable and compliance with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Financial Expenses. Our net financial expenses increased to $115,258 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $84,272 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 mainly due to two reasons. The increase is partially due to the change in the U.S. dollar exchange rate versus the NIS, which resulted in a loss of $112,778 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 comparable to a loss of $50,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to interest expense of $33,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in our interest expenses was attributable to reduction in short-term obligations, interest income on bank deposits and reduced interest rates.
Other Expense (Income), Net. We had other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $40,480 as compared to other income, net of $42,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Our other expense in three months ended March 31, 2008 is mainly attributable to a loss of $50,207 derived from sales of tradable securities.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $79,694 compared to income tax expenses of $165,221 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in income tax expense was mainly due to the decrease in our operating results in the three months ended March 31, 2008. Achidatex’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $15,941 compared to income tax expenses of $34,329 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Export Erez’s income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $95,635 compared to an income tax expense of $130,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Extraordinary Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized and recorded an extraordinary income of $4,681,838, net of tax. This amount was received by our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex, as a compensation by the Israeli Government with respect to the evacuation of the Gaza Industrial Zone.
Minority Interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized and recorded minority share in our profit of $41,417 compared with the minority share in our loss of $23,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
15
Net Income. In the three months ended March 31, 2008 our consolidated net income was $4,452,664, compared to net income of $403,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Achidatex’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $235,671 compared to net income of $73,181 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Export Erez’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4,278,965 compared to net income of $384,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Owen Mills’ net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $80,290 compared to a net loss of $61,771 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Defense Industries’ net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $18,317 compared to net income of $69,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2008, we had $3,937,288 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,347,054 in trading securities and working capital of $11,762,977 as compared to $1,120,054 in cash and cash equivalents, $2,951,604 in trading securities and working capital of $6,649,604 at December 31, 2007. The improvement in our liquidity and capital resources is primarily attributable to the extraordinary income of $4,681,838, net of tax, that we recorded in the first quarter when our three subsidiaries, Export Erez, Mayotex and Achidatex, received compensation from the Israeli Government with respect to the evacuation of the Gaza Industrial Zone.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| Three months ended |
||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2008 |
March 31, 2007 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 1,392,523 | $ | 402,567 | ||||
| Extraordinary cash flows | 2,691,838 | --- | ||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | 1,047,722 | 68,611 | ||||||
| Net cash used in by financing activities | 279,064 | 246,546 | ||||||
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | 2,817,234 | 66,126 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | 1,120,054 | 1,670,912 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | 3,937,288 | 1,737,038 | ||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities was $ 1,392,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $402,567 provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007. This was primarily attributable to net income of $4,452,664, an increase in accounts payable of $437,736, a decrease in trading securities of $780,448 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $930,868, offset by an extraordinary income of $4,4681,838, net of tax, an increase in inventories of $792,069 and an increase in other assets of $ 225,260.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,047,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $68,611 in the three months March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, $965,233 was attributed to an investment in term bank deposits and $82,489 (net of sales of fixed assets in the amount of $21,582), was used to purchase fixed assets. Of the $104,071 used to purchase fixed assets $11,332 was used by Achidatex, $89,830 was used by Export Erez and $2,909 was used by Owen Mills.
Net cash used in financing activities was $279,064 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $246,546 net cash provided from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months March 31, 2008, we repaid short-term debt of $189,949 and $135,986 of long-term debt and incurred further long-term debt of $46,871.
Most of our large contracts, which are Israeli Governmental contracts, are supported by letters of credit. As a result, we believe that we have limited exposure to doubtful accounts receivables. We have strived to balance our accounts payable and accounts receivable.
16
Subject to an unexpected growth in inventories as a result of future growth in sales and to a significant change in raw material prices, we intend to use our cash flow from operations for the acquisition of companies or equipment to expand our capabilities.
We anticipate that our research and development expenses in 2008 will reflect an annualized spending of approximately $100,000 per year.
On January 17, 2008 we obtained a short-term credit facility of $250,000 from Bank Leumi USA. The interest rate for such credit facility is Libor + 2%. The credit facility is due November 17, 2008.
We believe that we have sufficient working capital and borrowing capability to sustain our current level of operations for the next twelve months.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We develop products in Israel and sell them in Israel, North and South America, Asia, Africa and several European countries. Our sales in Israel are denominated in NIS while most of our export sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, our labor expenses are primarily paid in NIS while our expenses for raw materials are paid in U.S. dollars and Euros. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets.
Our foreign currency exposure with respect to our sales is mitigated, and we expect it will continue to be mitigated, through salaries, materials and support operations, in which part of these costs are denominated in NIS.
In the year ended December 31, 2007, the inflation rate in Israel was 2.9% and the NIS appreciated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 8.97%, from NIS 4.225 per $1 on December 31, 2006 to NIS 3.846 per $1 on December 31, 2007. In the three month period ended March 31, 2008, the inflation in Israel was 0.1% while the NIS appreciated in relation to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 7.2%. If future inflation in Israel exceeds the devaluation of the NIS against the U.S. dollar or if the timing of such devaluation lags behind increases in inflation in Israel, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected. We will also be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar depreciates against the Euro, the currency used for many of our purchases of raw material.
We did not enter into any foreign exchange contracts or hedging transactions in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies
A discussion of our critical accounting policies was provided in Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. There were no significant changes to these policies in the first three months of 2008.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No.157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We do not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“FAS 158”). This Standard requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The Standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules, as well as modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. FAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements to be effective as of the end of the fiscal year after December 15, 2006 and measurement elements to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the remaining elements of this Statement to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows when adopted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “Business Combinations,” a revision of the original “SFAS No. 141". This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the Statement. That replaces the original Statement 141‘s cost-allocation process, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. We are required to adopt the revised SFAS No. 141 on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the revised SFAS No. 141 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” an amendment of ARB No. 51, (“SFAS No. 160”). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and for the deconsolidation of subsidiaries and clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 also required expanded disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (“SFAS No. 161”). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated with our management in evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the SEC reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In light of the discussion of material weaknesses discussed in our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In response to the material weaknesses identified in our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our management plans to improve our control environment and to remedy the identified material weaknesses by adding qualified financial personnel and resources to implement, maintain and monitor the required internal controls over the financial reporting process. In addition we believe this will provide for reasonable and necessary separation of duties to allow for the compilation, review and analysis of complete financial reporting in a timely manner, and for the management to review key performance indicators regularly to identify and investigate significant variances by implementing a reporting package procedure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
