PART I

 

I tem 1. Description of Business

Overview

We provide structural decontamination and protective coating products and services, including building diagnostic assessment and inspections, indoor air quality testing, mold decontamination a series of preventive maintenance programs and water intrusion emergency response service. Our products and services are available in new construction and occupied phases of multi-family, single family and commercial buildings. To date, we have provided our mold prevention protective coating service to over 700 national and regional single and multi-family home builders. Our clients include national home builders such as Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc. and Centex, Inc., regional home builders such as Issa Homes, Inc. and Lenox Homes and multi-family home builders such as The Hanover Company, Bosa Development and Gables Residential. In December 2007, we announced that we had expanded our service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental issues throughout the life cycle of a building. The expanded service offering named, “Trinity”, is an all-inclusive three-in-one service platform involving inspection, correction and protection to manage water related problems that can cause mold contamination. With this added capability, we can now provide multi-family and commercial developers, owners and property managers with a single, full-service company to handle their indoor environmental issues.

Our strategy is to grow sales and reach operating profitability by being the leader in structural decontamination and protective coating products and services. In support of this goal we are actively pursuing the acquisition and development of proprietary products and services related to mold and bacteria decontamination, disinfectants and various antimicrobial products. We plan to utilize these proprietary products and services in combination with our current service capability to expand our sales of structural decontamination and protective coating products and services. We believe that our pipeline of products may provide us with a competitive advantage towards remediating mold and protecting against future mold growth.

Historically our business has lost money on an operating and cash flow basis. We believe that a principal reason why we have yet to be cash flow positive and profitable is because of our historically heavy reliance on the residential new construction market for a substantial portion of our business. The residential new construction market has slowed considerably since early 2006.

Our future financial condition and operating performance may be affected by several industry trends. The major trends that we believe will have a positive impact on our business are the demand for products and services relating to structural decontamination and protective coating services within new and existing structures, public awareness of health risks associated with mold contamination, the growth in mold-related insurance claims and litigation and the high cost of mold remediation. On the other hand, increasing levels of inventory in the new housing construction industry, the general decline in the rate of growth of the new home construction industry, mold remediation competition, delays in building owners or managers adopting our products and services could retard our growth. While we may be negatively impacted by these trends, we believe we will be able to manage these challenges through competitive product and service offerings in strategic markets and through continued efforts to control costs.

Our Business

Our business is providing decontamination and protective coating products and services to new construction and occupied multi-family, single family and commercial buildings. Our products and services include building diagnostic assessment and inspection, indoor air quality testing, complete mold decontamination, preventative maintenance programs and water intrusion emergency response services. More specifically, our products and services consist of (i) inspecting structures for mold, moisture, water intrusion and building defects, (ii) correcting areas of a structure that are infected with mold by eradicating the mold with a decontaminate product, (iii) protecting structures against future mold growth by coating the structure with an antimicrobial solution, (iv) disinfecting the structure and (v) providing a clean air certification and warranty that sets forth for our clients the actions we will take if mold is found on a protected surface after application of our antimicrobial solution. Our products and services are offered to our clients individually or as a singular combined service of inspection, correction and prevention that we offer under the trade name of “Trinity”. We believe that our products and services can assist in protecting assets and saving lives.

We have historically focused our products and services on mold prevention in the residential segment of the new construction industry, having provided our mold prevention products and services to over 700 national and regional single and multi-family homebuilders, including Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc., Gables Residential and Centex Corporation. In December 2007, we announced the expansion of our products and services to include inspection and correction offerings, and of the establishment of our “Trinity” offering. Since the creation of our Trinity offering we have secured several contracts for this service. The reaction among our clients to our expanded product and service offerings has been positive to date, and we have begun to generate repeat business for our “Trinity” offering.

We deploy our products and services principally through the use of manned service centers located in California, Florida and Texas, as well as through mobile crews that allow us to service customers throughout the United States.

Our fees for our products and services vary from region to region and from project to project. The factors that we use to determine the prices we charge for our products and services include some or all of the following: (i) the size of the project; (ii) the region; (iii) the proximity to a service center; (iv) the type of construction (e.g., single or multi-family); (v) the areas of the structure to be treated; (vi) the construction materials that are being treated; and (vii) the customer.

In October 2006, we established AMG Scientific, LLC as a wholly owned subsidiary. AMG Scientific, LLC, is focused on providing long-term antimicrobial infection control on surfaces to health care facilities and large institutions in an effort to provide an additional intervention safety net in the fight against hospital acquired infections. In 2007, we conducted two hospital studies aimed at determining the effectiveness of our antimicrobial product in retarding the occurrence of bacterial growth on hospital room surfaces. The studies indicated that although our antimicrobial product is effective in eliminating bacterial growth on hospital room surfaces, the length of time in which our product was able to remain on a particular hospital surface (and therefore the length of time in which our antimicrobial product was effective against hospital surface bacteria) varied depending upon the particular physical attributes (metal versus formica versus fabric, etc.) of the particular hospital surface that our product was applied. As a result, we are investigating methodologies that can be employed to increase the length of time in which our antimicrobial product is effective on all hospital surfaces.

Our Strategy

Our primary objective is to continue to be a leader in the area of mold eradication and prevention while also increasing market share for our expanded services and Trinity offering. The key elements of our strategy include the following:

Acquire or develop proprietary products and services in the areas of decontamination and mold protection. We are active in acquiring and developing proprietary mold decontamination, disinfectant and protective coating products that we believe will enable us to have a competitive advantage. For example in February 2008 we executed a letter of intent with Robert Goldsworthy, an industry leading chemist and inventor, to acquire from Mr. Goldsworthy certain intellectual property related to mold and bacteria decontamination, disinfectants and various antimicrobial products. We intend to deploy these proprietary products and services in our business of correcting and protecting against mold and water related structural problems. We may also pursue direct sales and or licensing of any acquired or developed proprietary products.

Enhance our existing strategic relationships and develop new ones. We have established a leadership position in the protective coating market, having treated over 70 million square feet of construction since our inception. We have established relationships with a number of major national and regional home builders in the United States, some of which have designated us as a “preferred provider” of mold prevention services. These relationships are significant because we believe they create a barrier to entry, and we believe we can leverage these relationships by offering new and expanded services to these customers.

Expand our service offerings. In December 2007, we announced that we had expanded our service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental issues throughout the life cycle of a building. Our “Trinity” process provides an all-inclusive three in one service platform involving inspection, correction and protection to manage water related problems that can cause mold contamination. This service expansion provides multi-family and commercial developers, owners and property managers with a single, full-service company to handle their indoor environmental issues.

Expand our capability and market coverage. We plan to acquire other companies to add to our product technology, operational capability and customer base.

Sales and Marketing

Historically, our sales efforts in mold prevention and protective coatings have targeted builders. With the housing downturn in late 2006 and extending throughout 2007, we shifted our sales focus to the stronger multi-family housing construction segment. During that time period, we continued to work with single-family residential construction builders but understood the difficult market that they were operating in due to the ongoing mortgage crisis.

In selling to multi-family builders and developers, we continued to utilize a direct sales model. We utilize a direct sales force to call on regional builder contacts. Contacts are identified and approached through referral selling, direct mail and direct phone contact from our sales force. Our team utilizes online permit databases to identify project opportunities in their particular regional area. In 2007, we continued to focus on larger multi-family developers through our in-house national sales team.

In late 2007, we announced the market availability of the Trinity service package. The Trinity service platform expands our service offerings to include mold inspection, building forensics, mold remediation, water intrusion dry down and mold protective coatings. Our Trinity services allow customers to procure all of their needed Indoor Air Quality services from one consultative supplier. The services are needed in the construction phase and in the occupied phase of a building’s life. Trinity expands our selling opportunities both in terms of number of services and in terms of building life-cycle stages.

Our sales team continues to target and direct sell to builders our broader Trinity services. In addition, our sales team has expanded their targets to include existing multi-family building owners, multi-family and commercial property managers as well as commercial property owners. The Trinity service platform has direct applicability and benefit to all of these parties.

Organizationally, the Sales team continues to have (1) regional field resources that are wholly dedicated to direct selling in local markets and (2) national sales resources that focus on large national multi-family and commercial developers. We continue to exhibit at key trade shows and host educational training seminars on mold protection.

Competition

The market for structural decontamination and protective coating products and services is a growing and fragmented market. The structural decontamination market contains numerous contractors and remediators who employ various methods to remove mold and the building materials that have been damaged by moisture related events. The protective coating market is comprised of several smaller competitors who offer varying types of mold prevention services. We believe significant business opportunities exist in these markets. By combining proprietary products with our established service infrastructure we believe that we can reduce traditional remediation costs by twenty to sixty percent while providing future protection against mold and moisture related damage through our protective coating product and service.

Our principal competitors in the structural decontamination market include mold remediation contractors and restoration and water damage cleanup companies. These types of companies include general contractors and restoration and water cleanup companies such as Service Masters and Servpro. In the protective coating market our competitors include smaller antimicrobial service applicators and chemical manufacturers that sell their products to third party applicators. These types of companies include Fosters, Inc., Envirocare and Nisus Corporation, all of which are chemical manufacturers. Other potential competitors include pest control companies and other construction industry trades. We believe we compete primarily through (a) the use of proprietary decontamination, disinfectant and antimicrobial products; (b) our ability to offer one-stop solutions to owners of buildings that have been damaged by moisture-related events; (c) our low cost structure and efficient operations; (d) our ability to service customers out of our company-owned and operated service centers (as opposed to third party applicators) and (e) our ability to provide our clients with a warranty that provides that we will remediate, at our own expense, any mold contamination that develops on any surface that we treat.

Table of Contents

We believe that builders, building owners and managers opt to use our services for the following reasons:

 

   

Our services are performed by our specially trained work crews who utilize repeatable processes. Most of our competitors tend to be chemical companies who are trying to sell their products. These companies usually hire third party applicators, which are likely to use unskilled labor for the task.

 

   

We offer a comprehensive service that includes removing existing microbes from a structure or surface, applying an antimicrobial solution, cleaning up the site and when required, procuring a clean air test.

 

   

We believe that our decontamination, disinfectant and antimicrobial products are more effective than any other products available on the market.

 

   

We offer our protective coating customers a fifteen year warranty. Under our warranty, we will remediate, at our own expense, any mold contamination that develops on any surface that we treat. The warranty also covers personal injury from mold contamination. This portion of the warranty is backed by our General Liability Policy with Evanston Insurance, rated A by A.M. Best, which has a pollution liability mold give back provision. This provision covers property damage and personal injury resulting from mold contamination on any surface we treat. The policy limits are $3 million per occurrence with a $3 million product aggregate.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are directed on improving existing products and services and developing new products and services. In February 2008, we executed a letter of intent with Robert Goldsworthy, an industry leading chemist to acquire certain intellectual property related to mold and bacteria decontamination, disinfects and antimicrobial products. We believe that a successful acquisition of this intellectual property from Mr. Goldsworthy will significantly assist us in our ongoing efforts to improve our antimicrobial-related products and services.

Intellectual Property

Traditionally, we have not relied on proprietary technology in conducting our business. However, presently, we believe that our success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon proprietary technology that we expect to acquire and develop. In this regard, we expect to rely on a combination of trademark law, copyright law, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with employees, vendors and others to protect our rights to intellectual property. These measures, however, may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information. Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could harm us, devalue our proprietary content and affect our ability to compete effectively.

Our success depends in significant part on our ability to protect trade secrets, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in protecting our trade secrets or that we will be successful in preventing others from infringing on our proprietary rights.

Government Regulation

Some states, including Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin, have enacted laws requiring the registration, licensure or certification of mold remediation and abatement contractors. These laws generally provide for the appropriate state regulatory authority to establish training and eligibility requirements and application procedures for the registration, certification or licensure of applicants, provide guidelines for disciplinary action and penalties for violations of these guidelines, including modification, suspension or revocation of a registration, certification or license. In other instances, particularly California and Louisiana, states require a pest control operator’s license or a contractor’s license for mold prevention service companies. We believe we have all the necessary qualifications, licenses, permits and certificates required by the states in which we are operating.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, we had 63 full-time employees, including 26 hourly and 37 salaried employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good.

Item 2. Description of Property

Our corporate headquarters is located in approximately 4,500 square feet of office space in the building known as Capistrano Plaza, 30270 Rancho Viejo Road, Suite C and E, San Juan Capistrano, California 92675. We occupy this facility under a three year lease that commenced on June 1, 2007.

In addition to our corporate headquarters, we currently lease office and warehouse space in California in the following cities: Anaheim, Fresno, Martinez, and San Jose. Additionally we lease warehouse and office space in Tampa and Orlando, Florida, Houston, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On September 5, 2006, a third-party complaint was filed by Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties.Org Construction, LLC (“SmartProperties”) against us in the primary action of Pitrina Messina vs. Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties , which was filed in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. The primary complaint filed by Pitrina Messina (“Plaintiff Messina”) alleges that Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties failed to provide certain promised mold remediation services with respect to certain residential property owned by Pitrina Messina (the “Messina Property”). In their third party complaint, Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties allege that they contracted with us to perform the promised mold remediation services on the Messina Property and therefore to the extent that Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties is found liable for any damages to Plaintiff Messina under the primary complaint, we should be required to pay Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties such damages. Discovery has concluded in this matter as of year-end 2007. On December 7, 2007, a hearing was conducted and an order was issued denying in part and granting in part a motion of summary judgment, alternatively motion for partial summary judgment and dismissing various claims against American Mold Guard, Inc. with prejudice. A tentative trial date has been set for late March 2008. We believe that the third party complaint filed against us by Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties is without merit and we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. Further, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material effect on our financial statements.

On July 31, 2007, a complaint was filed by Scott I. Murray (“Murray”) against us in the action of Scott I. Murray v. Vincent M. DeVico, an individual DC Group, Inc. d/b/a DeVico Development, Inc., a California corporation, et al which was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint alleges that on or about May 19, 2005, Murray entered into an agreement with DeVico Development for the construction of a residence (the “Residence”), and that pursuant to the agreement, DeVico Development was required to adequately supervise the job and all subcontractors, material men and others providing works of improvement and services for the construction of the Residence. Plaintiff further alleges that we were one of approximately 50 subcontractors and material men providing services for the construction of the Residence, and that such subcontractors and material men including us, breached certain express and implied warranties in the performance of their services, which breach resulted in damages to plaintiff. We believe that this complaint filed against us by Murray is without merit and we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. Further, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

On May 2, 2006, we completed our initial public offering of units comprised of two shares of our common stock, two class A warrants and two class B warrants (the “Units”). The Units began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AMGIU. The Units opened at a price of $13.00 per Unit and traded as units until May 25, 2006. The trading range during this period was a high of $13.94 and a low of $12.65. On May 26, 2006 the Units split into two shares of common stock under the symbol AMGI, two Class A warrants under the symbol AMGIW and two Class B warrants under the symbol AMGIZ. The split of the Units into two shares of common stock and two shares of Class A and B warrants resulted in a corresponding adjustment of the opening price of the common stock and warrants on May 26, 2006. Once trading began on May 26, 2006, the Units ceased trading.

Our common stock has traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AMGI since May 26, 2006. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for our common stock for the periods indicated, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Such quotations represent inter-dealer prices without retail markup, markdown or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.

Overview

We provide structural decontamination and protective coating products and services, including building diagnostic assessment and inspections, indoor air quality testing, complete mold decontamination, a series of preventive maintenance programs and water intrusion emergency response service. Our products and services are available in new construction and occupied phases of multi-family, single family and commercial buildings. To date, we have provided our mold prevention service to over 700 national and regional single and multi-family home builders. Our clients include national home builders such as Lennar Corporation, DR Horton, Inc. and Centex, Inc., regional home builders such as Issa Homes, Inc. and Lenox Homes and multi-family home builders such as The Hanover Company, Bosa Development and Gables Residential. In December 2007, we announced that we had expanded our service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental issues throughout the life cycle of a building. The expanded service offering named, “Trinity”, is an all-inclusive three in one service platform involving inspection, correction and protection to manage water related problems that can cause mold contamination. With this added capability, we can now provide multi-family and commercial developers, owners and property managers with a single, full-service company to handle their indoor environmental issues.

Although we believe we are broadening our market coverage by expanding our service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental issues throughout the life cycle of a building and by selling our products and services to builders, managers and owners of both new and existing structures, we continue to lose money on an operating and cash flow basis. We believe that the principle reason why we have yet to be cash flow positive and profitable is because we have historically marketed and sold our services primarily to the residential new construction industry, which has experienced a steady and significant decline since 2006.

Our strategy is to become a leading provider of structural decontamination and protective coating products and services to the new construction and occupied residential and commercial building industry. The key elements of our strategy are to acquire and develop proprietary technology in the areas of building decontamination and mold protection, enhance our existing strategic relationships and develop new ones, expand our service offerings and expand our capability and market coverage. Further, we expect to continue to control our costs and increase our gross margins as revenue increases. By executing this strategy we intend to grow sales and reach operating profitability in 2008.

Our future financial condition and operating performance may be affected by several industry trends. The major trends that we believe will have a positive impact on our business are the demand for products and services relating to structural decontamination and protective coating services within new and existing structures. In addition, we believe that if we are successful in acquiring desired intellectual property related to mold and bacteria decontamination, we may be able to achieve a certain competitive advantage in the delivery of products and services in the areas of structural decontamination and protective coatings. Public awareness of health risks associated with mold contamination, the growth in mold-related insurance claims and litigation and the high cost of mold remediation and public awareness of the dangers of hospital acquired infections could contribute to our growth. On the other hand, increasing levels of inventory in the new housing construction industry, the general decline in the rate of growth of the new home construction industry, mold remediation competition and delays in building owners or managers adopting our products and services could retard our growth. While we may be negatively impacted by these trends, we believe we will be able to manage these challenges through competitive product and service offerings in strategic markets and through continued efforts to control costs.

We measure our business using both financial and other operating metrics. The financial metrics include revenue, gross margin, operating expenses and income from continuing operations. The operating metrics include new sales order activity, service schedule, material usage and crew productivity.

New Sales Activity. With this metric we measure the level of new customer commitments in terms of new clients and dollar value of sales. We use this metric to gauge the effectiveness of our sales efforts. The data is gathered by sales representatives, by region and by month. We monitor new sales activity between project type: single-family versus multi-family. We also analyze new sales based on regional builders’ and national builders’ activity.

Service Schedule . We utilize this data to evaluate the demand for services in each service center or region. This measurement allows us to identify unused service capacity and to shift capacity, when necessary, to service centers with greater demand.

Material Usage. We use this metric to gauge the relative usage of material in each service center and region. The material usage rate for blast media can vary depending on the amount of mold contamination on the wood surfaces required to be removed, the relative humidity of the region and the proficiency of the crews. We monitor the material usage rate in order to help identify service centers that may need operational improvements or training to decrease their relative cost of service.

Crew Productivity. This measure focuses on our cost of service. We have planning standards for each region that we use to plan crew labor requirements. Measuring productivity (how many square feet of space are treated in a day) allows us to analyze the effectiveness of our labor force and crew leaders. Anticipated productivity by project also is a determining factor in project pricing. Again, the productivity levels vary depending on the type of project (single-family versus multi-family), the climate conditions, the training level and the experience of the crew and the amount of contamination to be removed from the project.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is based on contracts for agreed upon fees entered into with customers for the services to be completed and is recognized when the service is completed, the amount of the service and contract value is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The resulting accounts receivable are reported at their principal amounts and adjusted for an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts, if appropriate. We do not require collateral on our accounts receivable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We have adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121 and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether or not such assets are deemed to be a business. SFAS No. 144 also modifies the accounting and disclosure rules for discontinued operations. We did not note any indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the applicable portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $54,352 at December 31, 2007.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amount at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. We were subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and we have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified our federal tax return and our state tax returns in California, Florida and Louisiana as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. The periods subject to examination for our federal return are the 2004 through 2006 tax years. The periods subject to examination for our state returns in California and Florida are years 2003 through 2006 and in Louisiana are years 2004 through 2006. We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been

recorded pursuant to FIN 48, and, as such, we did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, or SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, or APB 25, for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or SAB 107, relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).

We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the 2006 year. Share-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $125,351 and $123,190, respectively.

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant-date using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statement of operations.

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the current period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates. Share-based compensation expense recognized in our consolidated statement of operations includes (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Revenues

Total revenues for 2007 were $6,672,736 compared to $9,425,307 in 2006, a decrease of $2,752,571 or 29.2%. The overall decrease in revenue is attributable to a slowdown in the restoration business in the Gulf region and reduced levels of single-family mold prevention revenue due to the contraction in the new construction housing market. The decline was partially offset by significant increases in our Midwest region and multi-family mold prevention projects.

Revenue in the California region for 2007 was $3,409,941 compared to $4,805,432 in 2006, a decrease of $1,395,491 or 29.0%. The decrease is due to the new construction slowdown in California as builders reduced new housing starts in an effort to lower their inventory.

Revenue in the Florida region for 2007 was $1,489,545 compared to $1,666,617 in 2006, a decrease of $177,072 or 10.6%. The decrease is due to the slow down in the construction industry.

Revenue in the Gulf region for 2007 was $655,120 compared to $2,617,760 in 2006, a decrease of $1,962,640 or 75.0%. The decrease is primarily attributable to the lower level of consumer driven restoration projects due to money flow delays and homeowner indecisiveness. In September 2007, we closed our Gulf region service centers in an effort to reduce costs.

Revenue in the Midwest region for 2007 was $719,389 compared to $94,233 in 2006, an increase of $625,156 or 663.4%. The Midwest region was established in the third quarter of 2006 to capture the market opportunity associated with new housing starts in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. This region, where we sell our mold prevention services to both multi-and single-family builders, has experienced strong growth since opening in 2006.

Other region revenue comprises multi-family projects serviced outside of existing regions, where we do not currently have service centers established. Other revenue for 2007 was $398,741 compared to $241,265 in 2006, an increase of $157,476 or 65.3%. In the first nine months of 2007, projects were completed in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts and Virginia.

We also analyze revenue based on type of construction treated. Revenue associated with national builder projects for 2007 was $1,728,893 compared to $2,326,255 in 2006, a decrease of $597,362 or 25.7%. Revenue associated with single family construction for 2007 was $1,982,567 compared to $5,100,492 in 2006, a decrease of $3,117,925 or 61.1%. Revenue associated with multi-family construction for 2007 was $2,961,276 compared to $1,998,560 in 2006, an increase of $962,716 or 48.2%.

$ 3,551,983    53.2 %   $ 5,364,534    56.9 %   $ (1,812,551 )

Cost of revenue includes the material, labor and other costs directly related to providing our services, including the depreciation expense relating to equipment used to provide our services. Cost of revenue for 2007 was $3,551,983 compared to $5,364,534 in 2006, a decrease of $1,812,551 or 33.8%. The decrease was a result of higher average pricing, improved labor productivity and an overall decrease in raw material costs due to improved pricing and optimized usage.

Raw material costs have decreased as a percentage of revenue from 11.6% for 2006 to 9.9% for 2007. This decrease is attributable to an overall material cost price reduction which was implemented in the third quarter of 2006, a change in blast media that occurred in the third quarter of 2007, as well as optimized material usage.

Direct labor cost as a percentage of revenue decreased from 28.9% for 2006 to 27.5% for 2007. The decrease is primarily a result of higher average pricing, increased labor utilization through improved job scheduling and the use of productivity tools such as new sprayers, box trucks and improved soda pot performance.

Other costs of revenue include costs associated with fuel, service vehicle rental, equipment rental, equipment depreciation, direct supplies and other costs directly associated with the services we provide. Other direct costs have decreased as a percentage of revenue from 16.1% for 2006 to 15.8% for 2007. The decrease is primarily a result of our decision in the third quarter of 2006 to purchase equipment that had previously been rented.

Selling, general and administrative costs for 2007 were $8,399,625 compared to $9,153,207 in 2006, a decrease of $753,582 or 8.2%. In September of 2007, we closed our Gulf region restoration operation centers, consolidated the offices of Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer under one person, eliminated various discretionary services and reorganized our sales and operations organization in an effort to improve our sales and operations effectiveness. These cost reduction actions resulted in a significantly lower selling, general and administrative expense level in the fourth quarter of 2007.

$ (432,444 )   6.5 %   $ (2,478,686 )   23.1 %   $ (1,133,635 )

Net interest expense for 2007 was $432,444 compared to $2,478,686 in 2006, a decrease of $1,133,635 or 45.7%. The decrease is directly attributable to the Company retiring debt after successfully completing its initial public offering of Units.

On July 19, 2007 we entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Calliope Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Calliope”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, we issued to Calliope a Secured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and obtained a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility. The term of the Secured Convertible Note is for three years at an interest rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus two percent (2.0%), subject to a floor of 9.0% and a ceiling of 11.0% Calliope has the right, but not the obligation, at any time to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Secured Convertible Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $1.85 per share.

Interest charges associated with the Secured Convertible Note and beneficial conversion, including amortization of the debt discount, totaled $389,926 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We earned interest income of $130,514 from cash investments during 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, we have funded our operations from internally generated funds, the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities and payment of obligations with our common stock. As of December 31, 2007, our working capital was $1.3 million, compared to $4.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The primary reason for this decrease is the operating loss during 2007.

Our net loss was $5,722,409 and $7,572,028 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $432,444 as compared to net interest expense of $2,478,686 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The primary reason for this change is due to the receipt of proceeds from the public offering of our Units, which proceeds were used to retire certain debt during 2006. Interest charges associated with the Secured Convertible Note and beneficial conversion, including amortization of the debt discount, totaled $389,926 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, our working capital decreased from $4,379,463 as of December 31, 2006 to $1,253,617 or a decrease of $3,125,846. The principal reasons for the decrease in working capital were as follows:

 

   

Cash decreased by $3,387,810 primarily as a result of our operating loss for the period, offset by $1,679,034 in net funds we received in connection with the issuance of the Secured Convertible Note.

 

   

Accrued payroll related expenses decreased $549,807 as a result of payment of payroll related obligations.

 

   

Accounts receivable decreased by a net $483,079 primarily due to our decrease in revenue for the year.

 

   

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $350,846 as a result of cost reductions we enacted throughout the year.

 

   

Short term notes payable increased by $177,455, net of underlying debt discount, due to the issuance of the Secured Convertible Note.

 

   

Short term lease line of credit decreased $146,326 as a result of us paying off a lease line of credit in June 2007.

 

   

Prepaid expenses and deposits increased by $136,569 as the result of renewing our annual General Liability and Workers Compensation policy in August 2007.

Given the recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and the uncertainty as to whether we will be able to obtain additional financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We plan to raise additional capital in the first half of 2008 to fund ongoing business operations. In the ordinary course of business, we expect to engage in discussions with various persons in connection with additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our products and services as planned, respond to competition, pursue the development or acquisition of desired proprietary technology or continue our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material.

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. A number of these risks are listed below. These risks could affect actual future results and could cause them to differ materially from any forward-looking statements we have made in this Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information set forth in this Form 10-KSB. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Should they materialize, any of the risks described below could significantly and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our securities.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a “going concern” opinion.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We plan to continue to provide for our capital requirements by issuing additional equity. No assurance can be given that additional capital will be available when required or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot give assurance that we will achieve sufficient revenues in the future to achieve profitability and cash flow positive operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we

will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or to generate positive operating results. Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated that these matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Need for substantial additional funds.

We currently need additional funds to finance our operations. Our overall cash requirements for the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $3,000,000. Our cash requirement may vary from those now planned because of unexpected costs or delays due to changes in the direction of our business strategy, competition and other factors. Adequate funds for these purposes may not be available when needed or acceptable terms.

We have a history of losses and cash flow deficits, and we expect to continue to operate at a loss and to have negative cash flow for the foreseeable future, which could cause the price of our stock to decline.

Since our inception, we have incurred net losses in every quarter through December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, we had cumulative net losses of $23.7 million and working capital of $1.3 million. We also had negative cash flow from operating activities. As such, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Historically, we have funded our operations from internally generated funds, the proceeds from the sale of debt and equity securities and payment of obligations with our common stock. Our growth strategy is to increase our markets and our market share by expanding our service offerings to include comprehensive indoor air quality and moisture management services and to be more of a one-stop service provider to customers. This is likely to result in additional losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. We cannot give assurances that we will ever become profitable.

Our future success depends on broad market acceptance of our structural decontamination and protective coating products and services, which may not happen, and therefore we may never achieve profitability.

The market for structural decontamination and protective coating products and services is very fragmented and competitive. As is typical of a rapidly evolving industry, the demand for, and market acceptance of, mold remediation and prevention products and services is highly uncertain. We are introducing new technology in the mold remediation market that may or may not be adopted as common practice by the market place. We are also expanding into the mold remediation market that is very competitive and we may or may not be able to demonstrate a competitive advantage. In order to be successful, we must educate property owners and builders about the benefits of the technology that we offer for mold remediation and the importance of mold prevention. We believe that one of the major obstacles we face in marketing our mold remediation and prevention services is the lack of knowledge of the importance of maintaining indoor environments mold-free. We spend a considerable amount of time educating property owners, builders, contractors and the general public on the health risks associated with mold exposure and the value of our services. We can provide no assurances that these efforts will be successful or result in increased revenue.

Our cash balance may not be sufficient to fully execute on our growth strategy, and therefore, we plan to raise additional capital in the future.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents for use in expansion, sales and marketing, capital expenditures and working capital. On or about July 19, 2007, we received a net amount of $1,679,034 from Calliope Capital Corporation from the issuance of the Secured Convertible Note to Calliope Capital Corporation. This amount will not be sufficient to execute our growth strategy in full and we plan to raise additional capital in the first half of 2008 in order to execute our growth strategy. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including the acquisition and development of desired proprietary technology, as well as expanding the market for our “Trinity” services. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

A significant downturn in the national economy, and prolonged economic weakness in the new home construction industry, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business could be unfavorably affected by changes in national economic conditions, including inflation, interest rates, and availability of capital markets, consumer spending rates and the effects of governmental plans to manage economic conditions. Historically, our revenue and gross margin has been directly tied to the level of business activity within the new

home construction industry. Since early 2006, there has been a steady and significant decline in the level of business activity within the new home construction industry, which decline may continue for the foreseeable future. Economic weakness in the new home construction industry has resulted in the past in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings and growth rates for us. Although we have adopted a strategy of expanding the nature and scope of our product and service offerings so that we are less dependent on the new home construction industry for our revenues and growth rate, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in expanding the nature and scope of our product and service offerings, which in turn would continue to make us materially dependent upon the new home construction market for our revenue and growth rate. In such an environment, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may not succeed in establishing the “AMGI” brand, which could prevent us from acquiring customers and increasing our revenues.

A significant element of our business strategy is to build market share by continuing to promote and establish the “AMGI” brand. If we cannot establish our brand identity, we may fail to build the critical mass of customers required to substantially increase our revenues. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend largely on the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high quality customer experience. To promote our brand, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses related to advertising and other marketing efforts. If our brand promotion activities fail, our ability to attract new customers and maintain customer relationships will be adversely affected, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations will suffer.

We are likely to face increasing competition, making it more difficult for us to capture market share.

Although we believe that the methodology we use in delivering our services is proprietary, there is very little we can do to protect it. With virtually no barriers to entry, any number of potential competitors could enter the market and provide the same services that we provide. Competitors may misappropriate our methodology or our methodology may otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. Except for our senior executive officers, none of our employees or contractors sign confidentiality, non-compete or non-disclosure agreements. These factors could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of an investment in our securities.

We rely on our suppliers to provide us with the raw materials we need to provide our services, and these third parties may fail to deliver us the material we need in a timely fashion, which could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to generate revenues.

We use several products in our structural decontamination and protective coating service. Our ability to service our customers depends on us having a regular and reliable source for these materials. We rely on our suppliers to provide us with adequate quantities of these products in a timely manner. A failure by our suppliers to provide us with these key products in a timely manner or in sufficient quantities will have an adverse effect on our ability to satisfy customer demand and could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our financial condition and results of operations. Timely delivery of these products could be affected by a number of factors including labor issues at the supplier and shipper, inclement weather and product availability. . If shortages occur on a regular basis for any of these products, we will lose revenue opportunities, which would have an adverse impact on our financial condition and could negatively impact our reputation, which could have longer term adverse consequences on our ability to grow our business.

We have a limited amount of general liability insurance coverage, and therefore a large damage award for personal injury or property damage could render us financially insolvent.

There is increasing litigation in the United States over personal injuries caused by mold contamination and jury awards relating to such litigation are significant. If our services fail to prevent mold growth on a surface we treated, a person suffering property damage or personal injury is likely to sue us. In such event, our insurance coverage – $3 million – may not be sufficient. Litigation that is launched against us and that results in a large jury award could render us financially insolvent.

Our future success depends on retaining our existing senior executives and hiring and retaining additional management personnel as well as skilled managers and sales personnel for our service centers, and therefore the loss of any of our key employees or the failure to hire new management level personnel could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.

Our future success to a significant extent depends upon the continued service of our key executives. The loss of the services of our senior management could harm our business. In October 2007, Thomas Blakeley resigned as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. On October 1, 2007, Mark Davidson, our President and Chief Operating Officer, was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. Even though we believe that Mr. Davidson is qualified and capable of replacing

 

16


Table of Contents

Mr. Blakeley as our Chief Executive Officer, and even though we have retained Mr. Blakeley as a consultant for a limited transition period, any disruption resulting from Mr. Blakeley’s departure may adversely impact our customer relationships, employee morale and our business.

We hire and retain at least one experienced and knowledgeable sales executive for each region in which we establish a service center. The competition for high-quality, skilled managers and sales personnel in the construction industry is intense, causing the search process to be time-consuming and expensive. Moreover, in certain parts of the country, it may also be difficult to find workers to staff the crews needed to perform our services at construction sites. In addition we may need to hire skilled sales and account management executives to market, license or sell the proprietary products and services that we intend to develop and acquire in the future. We may not be able to hire enough qualified personnel to meet our needs as our business grows or to retain the employees we currently have. Our inability to hire and retain the individuals we need could hinder our ability to sell our existing and planned products and services. If we are not able to attract and retain qualified employees, we will not be able to successfully implement our business plan and our business will be harmed.

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, create operating efficiencies or achieve or sustain profitability.

The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our growth strategy will require effective planning. Rapid growth could strain our internal resources, leading to a lower quality of customer service, reporting problems and delays in meeting important deadlines, resulting in loss of market share and other problems that could adversely affect our reputation and financial performance. Our efforts to grow have placed, and we expect will continue to place, a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, we could be faced with slower growth and a failure to achieve or sustain profitability.

We may not be able to secure required governmental approval or licensing for products we use in the future.

Prior to our use of new mold removal, disinfectant and deodorizing, or antimicrobial products in the future, we may be required to obtain federal and/or state approval and licenses, including but not limited to the approval of the EPA. Our failure to obtain such approval or licenses may adversely affect our operations.

We may incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management devotes substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

We may incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from regulations regarding corporate governance practices. For example, the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to independent directors, audit committees, distribution of annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, stockholder approvals, and solicitation of proxies, conflicts of interest, stockholder voting rights and codes of conduct. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, for the year ended December 31, 2007, we performed system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm in the year ending December 31, 2009, may reveal deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial expense and expend significant management time on compliance-related issues. Moreover, if our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock would likely decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

While we continue to take action to ensure compliance with the disclosure controls and other requirements of SOX and the related SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market rules, there are inherent limitations in our ability to control all circumstances. Our

Table of Contents

management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that any company’s controls, including our own, will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be evaluated in relation to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, in our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Risks Related to Our Industry

As public awareness of the health risks and economic costs of mold contamination grows, we expect competition to increase, which could make it more difficult for us to grow and achieve profitability.

We expect competition to increase as awareness of mold-related problems increase. As we demonstrate the success of our products and services we expect other companies to enter the market. A rapid increase in competition could negatively affect our ability to develop new and retain our existing clients and the prices that we can charge. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial resources, customer support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships than we do. We cannot be sure that we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully. Compared to us, our competitors may be able to:

 

   

develop and expand their products and services more quickly;

 

   

adapt faster to new or emerging technologies and changing customer needs and preferences;

 

   

take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily;

 

   

negotiate more favorable agreements with vendors and customers;

 

   

devote greater resources to marketing and selling their products or services; and

 

   

address customer service issues more effectively.

Some of our competitors also may be able to increase their market share by providing customers with additional benefits or by reducing their prices. We cannot be sure that we will be able to match price reductions by our competitors. In addition, our competitors may form strategic relationships to better compete with us. These relationships may take the form of strategic investments, joint-marketing agreements, licenses or other contractual arrangements that could increase our competitors’ ability to serve customers. If our competitors are successful in entering our market, our ability to grow or even sustain our current business could be adversely impacted.

If we fail to keep up with changes in our industry, we will become less competitive, limiting our ability to generate new business and increase our revenues.

In order to remain competitive, serve our customers effectively and increase our revenue, we must respond on a timely and cost-effective basis to changes in technology, industry standards and procedures and customer preferences. We need to continuously develop new procedures and technologies that address new developments in the construction, building maintenance and infection control industry. In the market segments we serve and the regions in which we operate, we need to stay current and compliant with laws, regulations, rules, standards, guidelines, releases and other pronouncements that are periodically issued by legislatures, government agencies, courts, professional associations and others. In some cases these changes may be significant and the cost to comply with these changes may be substantial. We cannot give assurances that we will be able to adapt to any changes in the future, that we will have the financial resources to keep up with changes in the marketplace or that we will be able to offset those costs with increases in the amounts we change for our services. This could cause our net income to decline, which likely will lead to a decline in the price of our publicly traded securities, resulting in a loss of all or a part of an investment in our securities.

We do not have “exclusive” or long-term commitments from builders, building owners and building managers for our products and services, negating any competitive advantage we get from these relationships.

 

18


Table of Contents

Although we have ongoing relationships with a number of national and regional home builders, none of these relationships are “exclusive.” In addition, we do not have any long-term firm commitments from builders, building owners building managers to use our products and services. Even “preferred provider” status, which we enjoy with one national home builder, does not guarantee that we will be hired for a particular job or any job with that customer. As a result, our revenues are unpredictable, and we are highly susceptible to competition. There is nothing preventing any of our customers from entering into identical or similar relationships with our competitors or from discontinuing their relationship with us at any time. If a number of our customers were to terminate their relationship with us at the same time or direct business to our competitors, our business, operating and financial condition would suffer.

Risk Related to Our Securities

Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our shares.

The stock markets generally have experienced, and will probably continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of the shares of many small capital companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating results of such companies. Factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following:

 

   

our success, or lack of success, in developing and marketing our products and services;

 

   

our ability to maintain compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements:

 

   

our ability to raise the required capital to fund our business:

 

   

the announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors;

 

   

changes in the executive leadership of the company;

 

   

actual or perceived changes in the national economy and new home construction industry;

 

   

quarterly fluctuations of our operating results;

 

   

changes in revenue or earning estimates; and

 

   

competition.

Based on the factors described above, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of our future stock prices or financial results.

Since completion of our public offering of Units, our shares of common stock and warrants have been traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There has been limited trading in our common stock and warrants and we cannot give assurances that such a market will develop further or be maintained.

On or about November 29, 2007 we received a Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that we have failed to satisfy the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Stock Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(4). Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(4) requires that our common stock must have a minimum bid price per share of $1.00 in order for our common stock to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Consistent with Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(8)(D), and as confirmed by the Nasdaq Staff Deficiency letter, we have until May 27, 2008 to regain compliance with the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(4). We may regain compliance with the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310 (c)(4) if our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

Our failure to meet the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) will result in the delisting of our shares of common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although, upon any delisting of our securities from the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities would continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, we believe that such a delisting may further limit trading in our common stock and warrants and would adversely effect any subsequent development in the trading of our securities.

Investors should not expect the payment of dividends by us.

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Investors who require cash dividends from their investments should not purchase our common stock or warrants.

Table of Contents

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to decline and limit our stockholders’ ability to sell our common stock or warrants in the public markets.

Our operating results and the operating results of businesses that we may acquire in the future may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our operating results may in some future quarter fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock or warrants could decline significantly. In addition to the risks disclosed elsewhere in this report, factors outside of our control, which may cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate may include:

 

   

fluctuations in the national economy, and more specifically the new home construction industry;

 

   

demand for our products;

 

   

fluctuation in the capital budgets of our customers; and

 

   

development of superior products and services by our competitors.

In addition, factors within our control, such as our ability to deliver services in a timely fashion, may cause our operating results to fluctuate in the future.

The factors listed above may affect both our quarter-to-quarter operating results as well as our long-term success. Given the potential fluctuation in our operating results, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance or to determine any trend in our performance. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could cause the market price and demand for our common stock or warrants to fluctuate substantially, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to sell our securities in the public markets.

If persons engage in short sales of our common stock, including sales of shares to be issued upon exercise of warrants, the price of our common stock may decline.

Selling short is a technique used by a stockholder to take advantage of an anticipated decline in the price of a security. A significant number of short sales or a large volume of other sales within a relatively short period of time can create downward pressure on the market price of a security. Further sales of common stock issued upon exercise of our warrants could cause even greater declines in the price of our common stock due to the number of additional shares available in the market, which could encourage short sales that could further undermine the value of our common stock. Holders of our securities could, therefore, experience a decline in the value of their investment as a result of short sales of our common stock.

Future sales of our common stock may cause our stock price to decline.

Our current stockholders hold a substantial number of shares of our common stock that they are able to sell in the public market. Significant portions of these shares are held by a small number of stockholders. Sales by our current stockholders of a substantial number of shares or the expectation that such sale may occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

American Mold Guard, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Mold Guard, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Mold Guard, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations through December 31, 2007, and has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMERICAN MOLD GUARD, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

Note 1. Organization and Management’s Plans

Organization and Business

The principal business of American Mold Guard, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing structural decontamination and protective coating products and services, including building diagnostic assessment and inspections, indoor air quality testing, complete mold decontamination, a series of preventive maintenance programs and water intrusion emergency response service. Our products and services are available in new construction and occupied phases of multi-family, single family and commercial buildings. In December 2007, the Company announced that it had expanded its service offerings to provide a comprehensive approach to indoor environmental issues throughout the life cycle of a building. The expanded service offering, named “Trinity”, is an all-inclusive three-in-one service platform involving inspection, correction and protection to manage water related problems that can cause mold contamination. With this added capability, the Company can provide multi-family and commercial developers, owners and property managers with a single, full-service company to handle their indoor environmental issues. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Scientific, LLC, the Company is striving to develop products and services related to infection control surface treatment to health care facilities and other institutions. The Company has sales representatives located in several states who sell its structural decontamination and protective coating services throughout the country. The Company also has service centers in three states – California, Florida and Texas and it has serviced projects throughout the country with its mobile crews. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Trust One Termite, Inc. (“Trust One”), which had provided termite control services, suspended operations in August 2007 due to the housing market slowdown.

Wholly Owned Subsidiary

On October 1, 2003, the Company created a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of conducting planned franchising activities. The wholly-owned subsidiary is named “American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc.” The Company has never conducted any franchising activity and no financial transactions have occurred through American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. American Mold Guard Franchise, Inc. has been dormant since its establishment in 2003.

Management’s Plans

These 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. However, the Company’s significant operating losses, accumulated deficit and the uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able to obtain additional financing, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $1.3 million, an accumulated deficit of $23.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $1.7 million. On July 19, 2007 the Company entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Calliope Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Calliope”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company issued to Calliope a secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and obtained a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility, access to which has been restricted.

In September of 2007, the Company closed its Gulf region restoration operation centers, consolidated the offices of Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer under one person, eliminated various discretionary services and reorganized its sales and operations organization in an effort to improve the sales and operations effectiveness of the Company. These actions reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the previous quarter. Recently, the Company announced its strategy of actively acquiring and developing intellectual property aimed at developing proprietary products and services in the areas of mold and bacteria decontamination, disinfectants and various antimicrobial products. The Company is also seeing sales growth driven by the adoption of its Trinity process. As the Company grows sales, it plans to increase its margins and control costs in an effort to reach profitability. Management plans to raise additional capital in the first half of 2008 to fund ongoing business operations.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-

 

27


Table of Contents

owned subsidiaries, AMG Scientific, LLC since its date of inception (October 12, 2006) and Trust One. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months when purchased.

Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had one certificate of deposit totaling $76,399, including interest, which serves as collateral for the Company’s business travel credit cards.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (as determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market and consist primarily of raw materials.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company provides for depreciation over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years, using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements and capitalized leased equipment are amortized over the life of the related non-cancelable lease. Repair and maintenance expenditures that do not significantly add to the value of the property, or prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in the related period’s statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses significant issues relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121 and develops a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether or not such assets are deemed to be a business. SFAS No. 144 also modifies the accounting and disclosure rules for discontinued operations. Management did not note any indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the applicable portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management, however, believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Additionally, the Company has established guidelines regarding diversification of its investments and their maturities, which are designed to maintain safety and liquidity.

The Company’s trade receivables are derived from customer revenues from antimicrobial treatment services for mold prevention. The Company makes periodic evaluations of its customer’s credit worthiness and the risk with respect to trade receivables is mitigated by the diversification of its customer base. Collateral is not required for trade receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable and such losses have historically been within management’s expectation.

 

28


Table of Contents

For the years ended 2007 and 2006, one customer accounted for 17.9% and 18.5% of revenues, respectively. At December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 11.1% and 10.3% of total receivables, respectively. Given the significant amount of revenues derived from this customer, the loss of this customer or the non-collection of related receivables could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recorded for the expected tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amount at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. The Company was subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in California, Florida and Louisiana as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2004 through 2006 tax years. The periods subject to examination for the Company’s state returns in California and Florida are years 2003 through 2006 and in Louisiana are years 2004 through 2006. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48, and, as such, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is based on contracts for agreed upon fees entered into with customers for the services to be completed and is recognized when the service is completed, the amount of the service and contract value is determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The resulting accounts receivable are reported at their principal amounts and adjusted for an estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts, if appropriate.

Service Warranties

The Company provides a general warranty on its mold prevention services that extends for the entire “statute of repose,” the period during which, under the various state laws, builders have continuing liability for construction defects. In general, the period of continuing liability is between 5 and 15 years depending upon the state in which the service has been provided. The warranty covers both property damage and personal injury arising from mold contamination on any surface treated by the Company. The personal injury portion of the warranty is supported by a $3.0 million pollution liability mold giveback provision under the Company’s general liability policy. The Company estimates its exposure to warranty claims based upon historical warranty claim costs and expectations of future trends. Management reviews these estimates on a regular basis and adjusts the warranty provisions as actual experience differs from historical estimates or other information becomes available. However, the Company does not have, at this time, sufficient experience to determine if a reserve is required and/or if the coverage under the general liability policy is sufficient should claims be filed against the Company. To date, the Company has not been required to perform under the terms of its warranty provisions. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any accruals or provisions associated with future warranty expenditures.

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” or SFAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” or APB 25, for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or SAB 107, relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

 

29


Table of Contents

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application transition method, which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of the Company’s 2006 fiscal year.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company has continued to use the Black-Scholes model which was previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123. The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. Share-based compensation expense, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, $123,190 and $125,351, respectively. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant-date using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the current period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes (i) compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and (ii) compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures.

Risk Management

The Company is not exposed to significant credit concentration risk, interest rate or hedging risks. The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk and the Company is not a party to any derivative transactions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued salary and wages, accrued interest payable and short term debt approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt also approximates fair value due to management’s ability to borrow at approximately the same rate in the current market.

Per Share Information

The Company presents basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value, outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares of common stock issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities which are exercisable during or after the reporting period. In the event of a net loss, such incremental shares are not included in EPS since their effects are anti-dilutive. Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, that were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive, aggregate 6,352,410 and 6,437,441 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to a reverse stock split pursuant to which each share of common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split was converted and exchanged for 0.340124209 new shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was effective as of April 7, 2006.

Advertising

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $6,505 and $69,210 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 155 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a tentative consensus on Issue No. 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 addresses income statement classification and disclosure requirements of externally-imposed taxes on revenue-producing transactions. EITF 06-3 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements , ” which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that use fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another US GAAP standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard also will require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 was to be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, which was issued on February 12, 2008, deferred the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, but management does not believe the impact of the adoption will be material.

In December 2006, the FASB approved EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“EITF 00-19-2”), which 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 SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. EITF 00-19-2 also requires additional disclosure regarding the nature of any registration payment arrangements, alternative settlement methods, and the maximum potential amount of consideration and the current carrying amount of the liability, if any. The guidance in EITF 00-19-2 amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure requirement for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements.

EITF 00-19-2 is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to the issuance date of this EITF, or for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for registration payment arrangements entered into prior to the issuance date of this EITF. The adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in fiscal year 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159. The Company does expect a significant impact of the adoption of SFAS 159.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations.” This Statement replaces SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The statement is to be applied prospectively for fiscal

years beginning on or after December 15, 2008; therefore the Company expects to adopt SFAS 141R for any business combination entered into beginning in fiscal 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect that SFAS 160 will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Property and Equipment

Note 4. Lease Line of Credit

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company opened a secured lease line of credit with Bank of America having a 48 month term with a $1.00 buy-out for related leased assets at the end of the term (the “Line of Credit”). During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $650,908 against the Line of Credit. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid $43,815 towards the Line of Credit.

In June 2007, the Company made the decision to pay off the Line of Credit in full. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007 the Company paid $572,370 to pay off the Line of Credit.

Note 5. Convertible Notes Payable, net of discount and Revolving Credit Facility

On July 19, 2007 the Company entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Calliope Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Calliope”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company issued to Calliope a Secured Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 and obtained a maximum $2,000,000 revolving credit facility. The term of the Secured Convertible Note is for three years at an interest rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus two percent (2.0%), subject to a floor of 9.0% and a ceiling of 11.0%

The Secured Convertible Note and any and all Revolving Loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company as more fully set forth in the Security Agreement. Calliope has the right, but not the obligation, at any time to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the Secured Convertible Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price equal to $1.85 per share. Amortizing payments were due pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note commencing on October 1, 2007, and the first business day of each month thereafter in an amount equal to $60,606. The principal balance as of December 31, 2007 was $1,818,182.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, Calliope may make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Company from time to time during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $2,000,000 minus $250,000 until the Company achieves operating profitability for any two consecutive fiscal quarters or (ii) an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of eligible Company commercial account receivables plus seventy percent (70%) of eligible Company consumer account receivables minus $250,000. Any Revolving Loans made to the Company will be evidenced by one or more “Revolving Loan Notes”, and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” published in the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus two percent (2%). As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet received any Revolving Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Calliope has restricted the Company from accessing the Revolving Credit Facility until the Company’s financial position improves.

The Company has provided Calliope a first lien on all assets of the Company. The Company will have the option of redeeming any outstanding principal of the Secured Convertible Note by paying to Calliope 130% of such outstanding principal, together with accrued but unpaid interest under the Secured Convertible Note. Calliope earned a commitment fee in the amount of $140,000 at the time of closing. Calliope also received a warrant to purchase up to 1,137,010 shares of the

Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $1.93 per share. In addition, the Company paid due diligence, accounting and legal fees to Calliope of $70,965. The Company also paid cash of $125,000 and issued a warrant valued at $44,860 (see Note 7) to Equity Source Partners LLC for financial advisory fees and non-accountable expenses incurred in connection with the debt financing transaction with Calliope.

Aggregate financing costs of $380,825 paid in connection with the financing described above have been capitalized as such in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the estimated life of the respective notes. Amortization of $58,391 for the year ended December 31, 2007, is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company determined that the Secured Convertible Note satisfied the definition of a conventional convertible instrument under the guidance provided in EITF 00-19 and EITF 05-02, as the conversion option’s value may only be realized by the holder by exercising the option and receiving a fixed number of shares. As such, the embedded conversion option in the Secured Convertible Note qualifies for equity classification under EITF 00-19, qualifies for the scope exception of paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133, and is not bifurcated from the host contract. The Company also determined that the warrant issued to Calliope qualify for equity classification under the provisions of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14, the Company allocated the net proceeds received in this transaction to each of the Secured Convertible Note and common stock purchase warrant based on their relative estimated fair values. As a result, the Company allocated $1,056,392 to the Secured Convertible Note and $943,608 to the common stock purchase warrant, which was recorded in additional paid-in-capital. In accordance with the consensus of EITF issues 98-5 and 00-27, management determined that the Secured Convertible Note contained a beneficial conversion feature based on the effective conversion price after allocating proceeds of the Secured Convertible Note to the common stock purchase warrant, valued at $727,392. The amounts recorded for the common stock purchase warrant and beneficial conversion feature are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the Secured Convertible Note. Interest charges associated with the amortization of the debt discount, totaled $389,926 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Class A warrants issued are exercisable beginning May 26, 2006 and expire on April 26, 2011. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $9.75 per share. The exercise price may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.

In May 2006, there were 2,930,770 Class B warrants issued and outstanding of which 2,700,000 were included in the units sold in the IPO and 230,770 were included in the units that were issued to the holders of the Unsecured Notes.

Equity Incentive Plan

The shareholders of the Company approved the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) on April 28, 2003, which reserved for issuance a total of 340,124 shares of common stock for incentive compensation grants of shares of common stock, stock options and restricted stock awards to the Company’s full-time key employees, consultants and directors. The Plan was amended in December 2005 to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan to 425,155 shares of common stock. On June 1, 2007, at the Company’s annual stockholders meeting, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan to 1,500,000. Stock options granted under the Plan generally vest one-third after 12 months while the remainder vests ratably in quarterly installments over the next two years. All unexercised options expire after five years from the date of grant.

The accumulated net operating loss for federal income tax purposes was $22.6 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company also has state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company has fully offset the net operating loss carry forwards by a valuation allowance of an equal amount. Federal net operating loss carry forwards of $1.0 million will expire in 2023, $2.8 million will expire in 2024, $3.9 million will expire in 2025 and $8.3 million will expire in 2026. State net operating loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2014. The utilization of net loss carry forwards will likely be limited based on past and future issuances of common and preferred stock due to the ownership change provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The net deferred income tax assets have been fully reserved for as of December 31, 2007, as management determined that it is more likely than not that those assets would be realized. Accordingly, a deferred income tax benefit has not been recorded for any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in litigation in the State of Louisiana. On September 5, 2006, a third-party complaint was filed by Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties.Org Construction, LLC (“SmartProperties”) against us in the primary action of Pitrina Messina vs. Lazaro Rodriguez and SmartProperties , which was filed in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana. The primary complaint filed by Pitrina Messina (“Plaintiff Messina”) alleges that Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties failed to provide certain promised mold remediation services with respect to certain residential property owned by Pitrina Messina (the “Messina Property”). In their third party complaint, Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties allege that they contracted with us to perform the promised mold remediation services on the Messina Property and therefore to the extent that Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties is found liable for any damages to Plaintiff Messina under the primary complaint, we should be required to pay Mr. Rodriguez and/or SmartProperties such damages. Discovery has concluded in this matter as of year-end 2007. On December 7, 2007 a hearing was conducted and an order was issued denying in part and granting in part a motion of summary judgment, alternatively motion for partial summary judgment and dismissing various claims against American Mold Guard, Inc. with prejudice. A tentative trial date has been set for late March 2008. We believe that the third party complaint filed against us by Mr. Rodriguez and SmartProperties is without merit and we intend to defend the litigation vigorously. Further, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material effect on our financial statements.

Purchase Agreement

On November 1, 2006 a supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) was entered into between the Company and Coating Systems Laboratories, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“CSLI”). Under the Supply Agreement, CSLI agreed to manufacture and provide the antimicrobial, AMG-X40, to the Company on an exclusive basis. The Company had exclusive rights to use, apply, market, sell, advertise and distribute the AMG-X40 product for a period of five years from the November 1, 2006 effective date. The Supply Agreement could be terminated only upon the occurrence of certain specific events. The Company had agreed to purchase 100% of its requirement for the AMG-X40 product from CSLI during the term of the Supply Agreement. Additionally, the Company has agreed to purchase from the vendor a minimum aggregate annual amount of AMG-X40 product having an aggregate annual invoice price of at least $240,000 for the first year of the Supply Agreement, $480,000 for the second year of the Supply Agreement, $810,000 for the third year of the Supply Agreement, $1,200,000 for the fourth year and the succeeding year of the term of the Supply Agreement. Should the Company not meet its annual minimum purchase obligations, the Company would be required to pay CSLI the difference between the minimum purchase obligation for a particular year and the aggregate annual invoice price for all AMG-X40 product actually purchased by the Company during such year.

During the first year of the Supply Agreement, the Company purchased from CSLI AMG-X40 product having an aggregate invoice price of $94,120. On October 26, 2007, CSLI invoiced the Company $145,880, representing the balance due on the Supply Agreement’s first year minimum purchase obligation.

The Company and CSLI entered into an agreement to terminate the supply agreement effective October 27, 2007. Under the terms of the termination agreement the Company will pay CSLI $145,880 payable in twelve monthly installments of $12,156.67 with the first payment on December 31, 2007 and the last payment on November 1, 2008.

The Company and CSLI entered into a new supply agreement on January 29, 2008. The new supply agreement is non-exclusive and contains no minimum purchases of product. Either party may terminate the agreement with ninety day notice.

Each of the agreements have a term of five years and automatically renew for successive three-year terms unless either party to the agreement gives written notice, 90 days prior to the end of the agreement, not to renew the agreement. Under each employment agreement, if the Company terminates the employment of the officer for any reason other than death, disability, or “justifiable cause” (defined to include any willful breach by the executive of his duties under the agreement or the executive’s conviction of any crime involving the property of the company or any crime constituting a felony), the executive would be entitled to a severance payment of 24 months of the then current monthly base salary plus target bonus as in effect on the last day of his employment and reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his medical and dental insurance for 24 months.

The current annual base salary of the chief executive officer is $225,000 and the current annual base salary of the chief financial officer is $180,000 and their salaries are subject to review by the board of directors of the Company to determine whether the executive should receive a salary increase.

Note 10. Subsequent events

On January 11, 2008, the Company entered into a three year consulting agreement with PR Financial Marketing, LLC (“PR Financial Marketing”) to provide public relations and other consulting services to the Company aimed at increasing investor awareness.

In consideration for the services to be rendered by PR Financial Marketing to the Company, the Company agreed to pay PR Financial Marketing a monthly fee of $6,500 and further agreed to issue to PR Financial Marketing an option to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and having an exercise price of $0.26 per share. The option issued to PR Financial Marketing expires five (5) years after the date of its issuance.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as of the end of the period covered by report, pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of American Mold Guard, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2007, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our assessment under that framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

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 the Company’s 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.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock. The rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require those persons to furnish us with copies of all reports filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a).

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, and written representations that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were in compliance.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that James Crofton, chairman of our Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Exchange Act.

Procedures for Recommending Nominees to our Board of Directors

We have not adopted formal policies or procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. To date, we have not received any recommendations from shareholders requesting that our board of directors or our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider a candidate for inclusion among our slate of nominees in our proxy statement. The absence of such a policy does not mean, however, that a recommendation would not have been considered had one been received. We will consider this matter fully during the upcoming year with a view to adopting and publishing a policy on shareholder communications for director nominees prior to the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which applies to all our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and all persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is posted on our website at www.amgicorp.com (under the “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance” caption). We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement regarding any amendment to, or waiver of, a provision of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct by posting any such amendments or waivers on our website.

 

Item 10. Executive Compensation

Overview

The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in its responsibilities relating to executive compensation and in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to our compensation and benefit programs and policies. The Compensation Committee may make recommendations with respect to our compensation plans and reviews and approves the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee currently consists of three directors, all of whom are independent under applicable Nasdaq Stock Market and Securities and Exchange Commission standards. The Compensation Committee receives recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer regarding the compensation of executive officers.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation policies are designed to achieve four primary objectives: (i) attract and retain well-qualified executives who will lead us and inspire superior performance; (ii) provide incentives for achievement of corporate goals and individual performance; (iii) provide incentives for achievement of long-term stockholder return; and (iv) align the interests of management with those of the stockholders to encourage continuing increases in stockholder value.

Table of Contents

Elements of Compensation

The following are components of our executives’ compensation that are intended to accomplish one or more of the compensation objectives discussed above:

Base Salary and Benefits . To attract and retain officers with exceptional abilities and talent, annual base salaries are set to provide competitive levels of compensation. The Compensation Committee considers each officer’s performance, current compensation, and responsibilities within our company. The Compensation Committee considers base salaries paid by competitors within our peer group and those paid by other businesses of comparable size. The Compensation Committee also considers past individual performance and achievements when establishing base salaries.

Annual Cash Bonus Incentives . Annual cash bonus incentives are sometimes used to reward our employees. The current bonus plan is under review and development by the Compensation Committee. It is expected that any current bonus plan ultimately approved by the Compensation Committee will provide that bonuses may be earned by our executives upon the achievement of certain metrics such as the meeting of annual performance targets as set out in annual budget and financial plans presented to the Board of Directors, as well as management’s success in increasing revenues, expanding sales and achieving and maintaining profitability.

Longer-Term Equity-Based Incentives . A portion of potential career compensation is also linked to corporate performance through equity-based compensation awards, historically in the form of stock option grants. Equity-based compensation awards to our employees are effectuated through our Equity Incentive Plan. Stock options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan generally vest one-third after 12 months while the remainder vests ratably in quarterly installments over the following two-year period. All unexercised options expire after five years from the date of grant. As of March 15, 2008, all stock options granted to our executive officers are fully vested with the exception of options covering 75,000 shares held by Mark Davidson, our Chief Executive Officer, and options covering 90,624 shares held by Paul Bowman, our Chief Financial Officer.

Awards under our Equity Incentive Plan are designed to: (i) more closely align executive officer and stockholder interests; (ii) reward key employees for building stockholder value; and (iii) encourage long-term investment in American Mold Guard by participating officers.

Although we do not have specific stock ownership guidelines, the Compensation Committee believes that stock ownership by management has been demonstrated to be beneficial to stockholders.

We have never made awards of restricted stock to our executive officers.

Executive Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with Mark Davidson, our Chief Executive Officer and Paul Bowman, our Chief Financial Officer.

Our employment agreement with Mr. Davidson has a five-year term that commenced in July, 2004 and automatically renews for successive three-year terms unless either party to the agreement gives the other party to the agreement 90 days’ prior written notice of his or its intent not to renew. Mr. Davidson’s current base salary is $225,000 per year.

In addition, Mr. Davidson is entitled to discretionary bonuses as considered and evaluated by the Compensation Committee, and to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan and fringe benefit programs, including a car allowance.

In the event we terminate Mr. Davidson’s employment for any reason other than death, disability or “justifiable cause” (defined to include any willful breach by Mr. Davidson of his duties under the agreement or his conviction of any crime involving our property or any crime constituting a felony), Mr. Davidson would be entitled to a severance payment equal to 24 months of his current monthly base salary plus target bonus as in effect on the last day of his employment and reimbursement for the cost of maintaining his medical and dental insurance for 24 months. In the event of a termination in connection with a “change in control” or by Mr. Davidson for “good reason” (defined to include a material reduction of Mr. Davidson’s base salary, duties or authority), he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his unpaid, annualized base salary for the remainder of the year in which the termination occurs and a lump sum payment equal to three times the highest annual compensation (salary plus bonus) for any of the three calendar years immediately preceding the date of termination.

Table of Contents

Mr. Davidson’s employment agreement also contains confidentiality and non-solicitation provisions as well as a provision under which he assigns all of his rights to inventions and discoveries made or conceived during his employment. Mr. Davidson’s annual salary is subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors to determine whether Mr. Davidson should receive a salary increase.

On May 15, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bowman. The terms, provisions and conditions of Mr. Bowman’s employment agreement are identical in all material respects to those of Mr. Davidson’s employment agreement except (i) Mr. Bowman is entitled to an annual base salary of $180,000. Mr. Bowman’s annual salary is also subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors to determine whether Mr. Bowman should receive a salary increase.

Compensation of Key Employees Other Than Our Named Executive Officers

Our key employees other than our Named Executive Officers are compensated through a mix of salary, commissions, incentive compensation and stock option grants. Factors considered in establishing the compensation for key employees other than our Named Executive Officers include (i) our operating performance, operating margin, and revenue and net income growth rates, (ii) revenue and net income growth rates for specific areas, divisions or sectors that such key employees are responsible for, (iii) team-building skills, past individual performance and future potential with us, (iv) local compensation levels and cost of living and (v) the suggestions of our Chief Executive Officer.
