Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Our representatives and we may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our stockholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. These risks may relate to, without limitation:

 
·
we have a significant working capital shortage; are currently in default in payment of approximately $1.75 million of indebtedness which became due in March 2009 and approximately $1.2 million of indebtedness which became due in June 2009, and may face litigation or even bankruptcy if we are unable to met our obligations;

 
·
we need to raise additional capital which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;

 
·
we have a history of substantial losses, may incur addition losses in 2009 and beyond, and may never achieve or maintain profitability;

 
·
our revenues and operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly;

 
·
we have only generated limited revenues and may never achieve profitability;

 
·
our equipment business is small and projected revenues may not materialize;

 
·
our equipment business is dependent on a small amount of customers and any loss of these customers will have a negative impact on our operations;

 
·
evaluating our business and future prospects may be difficult due to the rapidly changing market landscape;

 
·
our future success substantially depends on our ability to significantly increase our manufacturing capacity through the development of additional manufacturing facilities;

 
·
our “turnkey” manufacturing facility may not gain market acceptance, which would prevent us from achieving increased sales and market share;

 
·
technological changes in the solar power industry could render our turnkey manufacturing facilities uncompetitive or obsolete, which could reduce our market share and cause our sales to decline;

 
·
we face risks associated with the marketing, development and sale of our turnkey facilities internationally, and if we are unable to effectively manage these risks, it could impair our ability to expand our business abroad;

 
·
we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize our turnkey PV manufacturing facilities which would result in continued losses and may require us to curtail or cease;

 
·
our fixed-price contracts could subject us to losses in the event that we have cost overruns;

 
·
we are selling 49% of the equity of our Kraft subsidiary in order to acquire BudaSolar   Technologies Co. Ltd;

 
·
we need to raise significant additional financing to complete the acquisition of Algatec Solar Ag;

 
·
substantially all of Algatec's existing and projected 2009 revenues from the manufacture and sale of metallurgical crystalline solar modules are derived from its OEM contract with Q-Cells, which contract will expire at the end of 2009;

 
3

 

 
·
our inability to perform under significant contracts would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated business and prospects;

 
·
prices of metallurgical crystalline cells and other components may increase causing Algatec's profit margins to decrease;

 
·
even if we finance and complete the Algatec acquisition, there is no assurance that Algatec will be able to build equip and operate its new manufacturing facilities on schedule or within the amount budgeted for such purpose;

 
·
we have a few proprietary rights, the lack of which may make it easier for our competitors to compete against us;

 
·
we depend on the services of key executives and technical and other personnel, the loss of whom could materially harm our business or reduce our operational effectiveness;

 
·
we do not maintain theft or casualty insurance and only maintain modest liability and property insurance coverage and therefore we could incur losses as a result of an uninsured loss; and

 
·
governmental regulation may have a negative impact on our business.

Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should carefully review the factors described herein and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by us.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Solar Thin Film, Inc., (“Solar” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Accordingly, the results from operations for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2008 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 23, 2009.

The consolidated financial statements as December 31, 2008 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Business and Basis of Presentation

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing “turnkey” systems and equipment for the manufacture of low cost solar modules on a world-wide basis.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Superior Ventures Corp. and Kraft Elektronikai Zrt. (“Kraft”) and majority owned subsidiary, Solar Thin Power, Inc. (“Solar Thin Power”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
  
The Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 30, 2009 (the “Agreement”) with Solar Thin Power and its shareholders, pursuant to which Solar Thin Power was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”).  Following the Merger, effective on June 30 2009, Solar Thin Power is operated as a division of the Company (see Note 14). 

Accounts Receivable

The Company assesses the realization of its receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations, the Company may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The Company’s reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to the Company and are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. The Company’s reserves are also based on amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts and notes receivable was $1,827,930 and $1,777,930 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the Company determined accounts receivable, related party of $831,863, trade receivables of $696,067 and a note receivable of $250,000 were impaired and accordingly recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company estimated and recorded an additional allowance on accounts receivable, related party of $50,000 based on a proposed Equity Transfer Agreement the Company expected to execute subsequent to the date of the financials statements (Note 20).

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from Equipment sales, which include equipment and sometimes installation, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101"). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. Deferred revenues as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 amounted to $1,790,191 and $33,452, respectively. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21"), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the customer is fixed, collectibility is reasonable assured and title and risk of ownership is passed to the customer, which is usually upon shipment. However, certain customers traditionally have requested to take title and risk of ownership prior to shipment. Revenue for these transactions is recognized only when:

 
1.
Title and risk of ownership have passed to the customer;
 
 
2.
The Company has obtained a written fixed purchase commitment;
 
 
3.
The customer has requested the transaction be on a bill and hold basis;
 
 
4.
The customer has provided a delivery schedule;
 
 
5.
All performance obligations related to the sale have been completed;
 
 
6.
The product has been processed to the customer’s specifications, accepted by the customer and made ready for shipment; and
 
 
7.
The product is segregated and is not available to fill other orders.

The remittance terms for these “bill and hold” transactions are consistent with all other sale by the Company. There were no bill and hold transactions at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

For Complete Factory sales, which include sale of equipment, installation, and commissioning, the Company recognizes revenues from the product portion (pieces of equipment) on shipment and services portion (installation and commissioning process) upon completion of the installation and commissioning process.  The commissioning includes a range of consulting services necessary to successfully complete a performance test, such as training of management, engineering and production personnel, debugging and resolving problems, initial oversight or support for vendor relations and purchasing, documentation and transfer of process knowledge and potential co-management of the production line during performance testing or completion of the training process.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company has accounted for its Equipment Sales and Factory Sales arrangements as separate units of accounting as a) the shipped equipment (both Equipment Sales and Factory Sales) has value to the customer on a standalone basis, b) there is an objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the service portion of the revenue (installation and commissioning) approximated by the fair value that a third party would charge the Company’s customer for the installation and commissioning fees if the customer so desired not to use the Company’s services (or the customer could complete the process using the information in the owner’s manual, although it would probably take significantly longer than it would take the Company’s technicians and or a third party to perform the installation and commissioning process), and c) there is no right of return for the shipped equipment and all equipments are inspected and approved by the customer before shipment.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes cost of raw materials, labor, production related depreciation and amortization, subcontractor work, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and absorbed indirect manufacturing cost, as well as installation related travel costs and warranty costs.

General, selling and administrative expenses

General, selling and administrative expenses primarily include indirect labor costs, rental fees, accounting, legal and consulting fees.

Investments

As part of the Company’s business strategy to take a minority interest in its customer base and to secure module supply for planned power projects to improve the chances of securing contracts, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired a 15% interest in CG Solar, formerly WeiHai Blue Star Terra Photovoltaic Co., Ltd, a Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China.  The investment of $1,500,000 represented 15% of total committed capital of $10,000,000 and is carried at cost under the cost method of accounting for investment.  Blue Star Glass and China Singyes own the remaining 85% of CG Solar.

The Company supplied equipment to RESI that was utilized in the construction of CG Solar's first a-Si production line. The investment was accomplished by purchasing a 10% interest from Terrasolar for $1 million (representing 10% of the committed capital) in March 2008 and a 5% interest from RESI for $500,000 (representing 5% of the committed capital) in January 2008. The balance of the committed capital was invested by CG Solar's parent, Blue Star Glass, and by a strategic partner, China Singyes.
 
The Company is expecting to execute an Equity Transfer Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to transfer its investment in CG Solar to a third party in exchange for considerations of $1,350,000 (see Note 20). Accordingly at June 30, 2009, the Company determined that CG Solar investment was impaired and charged to current period operations an impairment of $150,000.

Segment information

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No.131”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS No.131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segment as provided in accordance with SFAS No. 131. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Product Warranty costs

The Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with the FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” as a charge in the current period cost of goods sold. The range for the warranty coverage for the Company’s products is up to 18 to 24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of repairs under such warranties based on historical experience and any known specific product information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically by management and based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The Company’s determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as such, actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous expectations.

The Company accrued a provision for product warranty costs of approximately $180,000 during 2007; of which approximately $85,000 was utilized during the year ended December 31, 2007. During 2008 an additional $73,000 in warranty costs were accrued and a total of $108,070 was utilized, leaving a balance of approximately $59,930 remaining as of December 31, 2008. During the first six months of 2009 the Company accrued an additional $79,770 in warranty costs as a result of shipments to Grupo Unisolar, and did not incur any product warranty costs, leaving a balance of $139,700 in product warranty provision as of June 30, 2009.

Research and Development

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2"), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.” Under SFAS 2, all research and development cost must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and developments cost is expensed as incurred.

Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred expenditures of $-0- and $90,000 on research and product development for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively; and $-0- and $180,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ data to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157") and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land
 
-
 
Buildings
 
50 years
 
Leasehold improvements
 
3 to 7 years
 
Fur  Furniture and fixtures
 
3 to 7 years
 
Machinery, plant and equipment
 
3 to 7 years
 

We evaluate the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. We measure impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R) “Share-Based Payment” which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and eliminates the intrinsic value method that was provided in SFAS 123 for accounting of stock-based compensation to employees. The Company made no employee stock-based compensation grants before December 31, 2005 and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $313,269 and $643,105, respectively and $220,543 and $381,905 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130; “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” . Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.

Net income (loss) per share

The Company accounts for net (loss) income per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable common shares such as those related to our convertible notes, warrants and stock options.  Diluted net (loss) income per share is calculated by including potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator.  However, diluted net (loss) income per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 does not reflect the effects of 1,533,514 and 1,534,026 shares potentially issuable upon conversion of our convertible preferred shares as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, 2,423,000 and 2,450,000 shares potentially issuable upon the conversion of convertible debt as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and -0- and 1,265,894 shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These potentially issuable shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on our net (loss) income per share.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,495,850 and $3,045,519 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $7,418,447 at June 30, 2009.

N ew Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2009

SFAS No.161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”) . The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The new standard also improves transparency about how and why a company uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009 and addressed the relevant disclosures accordingly.

SFAS No. 160

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). In SFAS No. 160, the FASB established accounting and reporting standards that require non-controlling interests to be reported as a component of equity, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest to be accounted for as equity transactions, and any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary to be initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Retroactive application of SFAS No. 160 is prohibited. We adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 which primarily resulted in moving the presentation of non-controlling interest to the “Stockholders’ equity” section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

EITF No. 07-1

In December 2007, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF No. 07-1”). EITF No. 07-1 prescribes the accounting for parties of a collaborative arrangement to present the results of activities for the party acting as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on other applicable GAAP or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP, based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. Further, EITF No. 07-1 clarified the determination of whether transactions within a collaborative arrangement are part of a vendor-customer (or analogous) relationship subject to Issue No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.” EITF No. 07-1 is effective for collaborative arrangements that exist on January 1, 2009 and application is retrospective. We adopted EITF No. 07-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

EITF No. 07-5

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF No. 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted EITF No. 07-5 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption resulted in our warrants with anti-dilutive provisions being classified as derivatives in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following new accounting standards:

 
·
FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-4, Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed, (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”) provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157.  FSP FAS No. 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive and whether a transaction is distressed. It is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and non-financial) and will require enhanced disclosures.

 
·
FASB Staff Positions FAS No. 115-2, FAS 124-2, and EITF No. 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments , (“FSP FAS No. 115-2, FAS No. 124-2, and EITF No. 99-20-2”) provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 
·
FASB Staff Position FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , (“FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1”) amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting , to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.

These standards were effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these accounting standards had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
SFAS No. 165
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”. We adopted SFAS No. 165 for the Quarterly Report for the period ending June 30, 2009.  SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, which are referred to as subsequent events. The statement clarifies existing guidance on subsequent events, including a requirement that a public entity should evaluate subsequent events through the issue date of the financial statements, the determination of when the effects of subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statement and disclosures regarding all subsequent events.  SFAS 165 also requires a public entity to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  We have evaluated subsequent events through August 14, 2009 as disclosed in Note 20.

SFAS No. 166
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 166 on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 167
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” which changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 167 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 167 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
SFAS No. 168
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) as the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also included in the Codification as sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this rule will not affect reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company will implement SFAS 168 in its third quarter Form 10-Q by updating the previous FASB references to the Codification.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying consolidated 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. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,495,850 and $3,045,519 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital of $7,418,447 as of June 30, 2009. The Company is currently in default in the payment of certain notes payable.  These factors among others raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has undertaken further steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond to address its lack of liquidity by raising additional funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and or business plans, and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and be able to obtain additional financing.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.  In the event that the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Components of inventories as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consist of the following.

On August 20, 2008, the Company entered into a contract (the “Contract”) to purchase certain property, plant and equipment, including all buildings and improvements, all fixtures and equipment attached to the property and certain equipment for a purchase price of $4,550,000.  In conjunction with the purchase, the Company made a wire transfer of a $30,000 non-refundable initial down payment upon signing of the agreement to an escrow account.  In addition, the Company made a $425,000 second down payment, which was subject to an environmental testing result.  The initial closing was scheduled on September 26, 2008.  The closing date was then adjourned in order to complete the Phase I environmental assessment and to address any issues identified.  Subsequently the Company had identified an environmental condition, which it believed might lead to contamination, and determined not to purchase the property.

The Company then negotiated a refund in the amount of $194,254 and accounted for the liquidated damages of $260,746 as loss on settlement of real estate deposits in the Company’s other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company received the refund of $194,254 during the period ended June 30, 2009.
 
In January 2009, the Company issued 325,000 shares of its Common Stock in exchange for services to be rendered through January 2011 (Note 12). The shares of Common Stock were valued at $78,000, which was estimated to be approximate the fair value of the Company's common shares during the period covered by the consulting agreement. The Company amortized and charged to operations a stock-based compensation expense of $9,723 and $17,737 during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009.

In April 2009, the Company issued to a consultant 2,000,000 warrants to purchase Solar Thin Power common stock at $0.20 per share exercisable over three years (Note 16).  The warrants vested immediately and were issued for services to be rendered for a period of one year. Effective June 30, 2009, in conjunction with the merger of Solar Thin Power (Note 14), the Company exchanged the issued warrants to warrants to purchase the Company's common stock with the same terms and conditions.  The fair value of the issued warrants of $222,706 was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company amortized and charged to operations a stock-based compensation expense of $55,676 during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009.

In 1996, the Company issued an unsecured 8%, $1.5 million note to an unrelated party in connection with the Company's acquisition of a software company. The note was due and payable on April 30, 1999. The note was governed by the laws of the State of New York. The New York statute of limitations for seeking to collect on a note is six years from the maturity date. The creditor has never sought to collect the note since its maturity date and in or about 2001 orally advised a representative of the Company that it had "written off the debt." Although the Company has previously and currently listed the note as a liability on its balance sheet, it does not believe that it has any further liability under this note.

NOTE 9- DIVIDENDS PAYABLE

In 2000 and 2001, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary declared a dividend to its shareholders. However based on the Company’s limited financial resources it has been unable to pay it. The shareholders have conceded the deferment of this dividend until the Company financially can afford paying it. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance was $139,791 and $143,778, respectively. The underlying liability is in the local currency. Changes in the recorded amounts are related to the changes in the currency exchange rates.

March 2006 Financing

In connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006, the Company assumed a financing arrangement dated March 16, 2006, subsequently amended on May 18, 2006, with several investors (the "March Investors") for the sale of (i) $1,250,000 in notes (the "Notes"), (ii) 625,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") (Note 11) and (iii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 price per share for a period of five years (the "Warrants").

 The March 2006 Notes are interest free and mature on the earlier of (i) March 16, 2009 or (ii) the Company closing on a financing in the aggregate amount of $12,000,000. The Company granted the March 2006 Investors piggyback registration rights with respect to the March 2006 Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants. Further, Robert M. Rubin, CEO and a Director of the Company, has personally guaranteed payment of the March 2006 Notes.

The March 2006 Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the March 2006 Notes and exercise the March 2006 Warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The sale of the Notes was completed on March 16, 2006. As of the date hereof, the Company is obligated on $1,250,000 in face amount of Notes issued to the March investors.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, “Accounting For Convertible Securities With a Beneficial Conversion Feature or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (EITF 98-5) , the Company allocated, on a relative fair value basis, the net proceeds amongst the common stock, warrants and the convertible notes issued to the investors. The accounting predecessor recognized and measured $519,491 of the proceeds, which equals to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid in capital and a discount against the March 2006 Notes.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF - 0027”), the Company recognized the relative value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $231,797 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the March 2006 Notes. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; 2) expected volatility of 93.03%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.08% to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 5 years. The Company also recognized the relative value attributable to the common stock issued in the amount of $498,712 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the March 2006 Notes. Total debt discount to the March 2006 Notes amounted $1,250,000. The note discount was being amortized over the maturity period of the Notes, being thirty-four (34) months.

June 2006 Financing

In connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with several investors (the “June 2006 Investors”) pursuant to which it sold various securities in consideration of an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 consisting of the following securities:

 
·
$ 6,000,000 in senior secured convertible notes (“June 2006 Notes”);

 
·
3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock;

The Series B Warrants and the Series D Warrants are exercisable only following the exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series C Warrants, respectively, on a share by share basis.

The June 2006 Notes are interest free and matured in June 2009 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the June 2006 Investors’ option, at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share (Note 11).

The Company granted the June 2006 Investors registration rights with respect to the June 2006 Shares, and the shares of common stock underlying the June 2006 Notes, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 30 days from closing and have such registration statement declared effective within 90 days from closing if the registration statement is not reviewed or, in the event that the registration statement is reviewed, within 120 days from closing. If the Company fails to have the registration statement filed or declared effective by the required dates, it will be obligated to pay a liquidated damages equal to 2% of the aggregate financing to each investor upon any such registration failure and for each thirty days that such registration failure continues in cash.
The June 2006 Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the June 2006 Notes, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, “Accounting For Convertible Securities With a Beneficial Conversion Feature or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (EITF 98-5) , the Company allocated, on a relative fair value basis, the net proceeds amongst the common stock and Convertible Notes issued to the investors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company recognized $2,777,778 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the Convertible Note. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the Convertible Notes’ maturity period, being three (3) years, as interest expense. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF - 0027”), the Company also recognized the relative value attributable to the common stock issued in the amount of $3,222,222 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the June 2006 Notes. Total debt discount to the June 2006 Notes amounted $6,000,000. The note discount is amortized over the maturity period of the notes, being (3) years.

In the year ended December 31, 2007, certain June 2006 investors converted $4,029,000 of convertible notes to 4,029,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In the year ended December 31, 2008, certain June 2006 investors converted $798,000 of convertible notes to 798,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company amortized and wrote off the Convertible Notes’ debt discount and recorded a non-cash interest expense of $125,226 and $277,528 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009, respectively; and $280,631 and $642,310 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

In conjunction with raising capital through the issuance of $6,000,000 Notes, the Company has issued warrants that have registration rights for the underlying shares.  As the contract must be settled by the delivery of registered shares and the delivery of the registered shares is not controlled by the Company, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market value until the Company meets the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity. The net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $10,821,900 and charged to operations as interest expense.  Upon the registration statement being declared effective, the fair value of the warrant on that date will be reclassified to equity. The Company initially valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 93.03%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.08% to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 5 years.

NOTE 10- PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND NOTE PAYABLE (continued)

June 2006 Financing (continued)

In connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006, the Company assumed as liability the fair value of $10,821,900 representing the warrants issued and outstanding as described above. At December 31, 2006, the Company revalued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 51.21%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.62% to 4.82% to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 2.45 to 3.44 years. And 5) a deemed fair value of common stock of $0.99. The decrease of $9,356,400 in the fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2006 has been recorded as a gain on revaluation of warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Warrant liability at December 31, 2006 amounted to $1,465,500. On February 13, 2007, upon the registration statement being declared effective, the assumed liability of $10,821,900 was adjusted to additional paid in capital.

The Company granted the Investors of the June 2006 Financing a first priority security interest in all of its assets. In addition, the Company pledged 100% of the shares (the “ Pledged Shares ”) held in its wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft Elektronikai Zrt (“ Kraft ”), as collateral to the Investors. The Company did not repay the note at its maturity in June 2009. As a result of the default, the Investors may seek a redemption premium equal to 125% of the outstanding principal amount.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had accrued redemption penalty in an aggregate amount of $293,250, which represents the redemption premium in excess of the outstanding notes principal of $1,173,000 that was included in the Company’s current liabilities. As of June 30, 2009, one Investor has submitted an event of default redemption notice to the Company seeking payment of $153,750.
The Company has been actively and diligently engaging in negotiations with the Investors in order to reach an amicable resolution, including, without limitation, entering into extension, forbearance or other agreements, which the Company anticipates completing in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. In addition, the Company has been actively seeking sources of financing in order to repay the outstanding debt owed to the Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into definitive agreements to consummate either of the transactions described above.  If the Company is unable to enter into extension, forbearance or other agreements with the Investors, or is unable to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company in order to repay the outstanding debt owed to the Investors, the Investors may elect to exercise their first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company, as well as sell, transfer or assign the Pledged Shares.  In such event, the Company may be required to cease operations and/or seek protection from its creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Act.

Note payable

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company issued a $500,000 non interest bearing note, which was due on March 4, 2009 and is currently in default.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company issued convertible debentures and related warrants with certain reset exercise price provisions (see Note 10).  If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock (other than certain “Excluded Securities” as defined in the June 2006 Senior Secured Convertible Note Agreement) after the June 2006 Financing for an amount less than the original price per share, the conversion price of the warrants is reduced to equal the new issuance price of those shares.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)

Upon the Company’s adoption of EITF No. 07-05 on January 1, 2009, the Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under SFAS No. 133 as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by EITF No. 07-05.  On January 1, 2009, the warrants, under EITF No. 07-05, were reclassified from equity to derivative liability for the then relative fair market value of $3,222,222 and marked to market.  The Company determined the fair value of these reset provisions at January 1, 2009 was $21,777 as the initial fair value at the adoption date of EITF No. 07-05.  The value of the warrants decreased by $3,200,445 from the warrants issuance date to the adoption date of EITF No. 07-05, January 1, 2009.  As of January 1, 2009, the cumulative effect in adopting EITF No. 07-05 was a reduction to additional paid in capital of $3,222,222 to reclassify the warrants from equity to derivative liability and a decrease in accumulated deficit of $3,200,446 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reflect the change in the value of the warrants between their issuance date and January 1, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, the warrant liability was marked to market and the Company recorded a gain of $12,909 due to the decrease in the fair value related to these instruments during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  Under EITF 07-05, the warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting period. In June 2009, the warrants expired and the related warrant liability adjusted to $-0-.

The fair value of the warrants at the adoption date of EITF 07-05 was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:  dividend yield: -0-%; volatility: 97.17%, risk free rate: 0.27% to 0.37%, expected term: 0.43 to 1.43 years.

NOTE 13- RELATED PARTY NOTES PAYABLE AND TRANSACTIONS

A significant majority of sales during 2008 were Equipment Sales rather than Factory Sales. In some cases the equipment was supplied directly to an end user, as in the case of EPV Solar; in other cases the equipment was supplied to a general contractor who subsequently delivered a complete factory, as in the case of equipment supplied in collaboration with RESI and Terrasolar on behalf of CG Solar (previously Blue Star Terra Corporation). During late 2007, the main strategic partner for the Company on such sales had been Renewable Energy Solutions, Inc. (“RESI”). Prior to RESI assuming the role of general contractor on the CG Solar project the primary partner was Terra Solar Global, Inc. (“Terra Solar”).

Terra Solar, Inc. (“TSI”) owns approximately 49% of the outstanding securities of Terra Solar. Zoltan Kiss, a shareholder and former director of the Company, was also a shareholder of TSI. Zoltan Kiss, a shareholder and former director of the Company, is also the Chairman and majority owner of RESI. Mr. Kiss resigned as Chairman and a Director of the Company effective December 20, 2007.

An additional $369,108 was invoiced to RESI for a separate project during 2007. No revenue was generated from either party during 2008.

The Company had related party trade receivables of $1,197,548 from RESI as of December 31, 2008 from the Blue Star Contract and $134,315 from another project. RESI assumed the trade payable from Terrasolar upon assumption of the Blue Star contract in April 2007 and made several payments during 2007. The Company has decided to reserve $831,863 out of the total balance of $1,331,863 related party trade receivable based on management’s evaluation of the related party’s current financial condition as of December 31, 2008. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company estimated and recorded an additional allowance of $50,000 based on a proposed Equity Transfer Agreement the Company expected to execute subsequent to the date of the financials statements (Note 20).

The Company signed a cooperative Research and Development Contract, and a Marketing and Manufacturing Facility Turn On Function Contract with RESI on December 20, 2006 and January 30, 2007, respectively. Zoltan Kiss, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, is Chairman and majority shareholder of RESI. Payments made to RESI under the Research and Development Contract were $-0- and $180,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No payments have been made to RESI under the Marketing and Manufacturing Facility Turn On Function Contract for the three and month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Put Liability

Additionally, in conjunction with the sale of the common stock of Solar Thin Power, Inc. at December 19, 2007; the Company agreed to complete a Registration Statement with the Securities Exchange Commission and use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within eighteen months (“ Effective Date ”) of closing (June 10, 2009).  In the event that Solar Thin Power, Inc. is not a public reporting company by the Effective Date, the Company has agreed to re-acquire, at the option of the shareholders, half of the common stock issued or 3,535,000 shares at the aggregate purchase price ($0.50 per share for a total of $1,767,500) (“ Put Option ”).

The Company follows the SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” in accounting for this put liability, which provides that loss contingencies should be recognized as liabilities if they are probable and reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2008, the Company believed that its obligations under the put option are not probable due to the fact that it was anticipated that Solar Thin Power will enter into an agreement with the Company to merge with and into the Company prior to the Effective Date.  Upon the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Agreement ”) with Solar Thin Power, Inc. and its shareholders, and the closing of the acquisition effective June 30, 2009, the put liability had been eliminated at June 30, 2009.

NOTE 16 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (continued)

Stock options (continued)

During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company canceled 600,000 unvested stock options and re-priced certain employee options initially with exercise price of $0.533 to $0.18 per share with other terms remaining the same.  The re-priced stock options were originally granted and fair valued in June 2007, and the original fair value was amortized over the vesting period of two years.  The Company had amortized and charged to operations the entire original value of the options as of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  In addition, upon the modification of the exercise price of these options during the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company calculated the fair value of the fully vested re-priced options based on the modified terms, and additional compensation of $45,494 was charged to current period operations.

Stock-based compensation expense in connection with stock options granted, vested and re-priced in the aggregate amount of $239,855 and $220,544 was charged to operating results in connection with the stock options grant for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense in connection with stock options granted, vested and re-priced  in the aggregate amount of $569,691 and $381,905 was charged to operating results in connection with the stock options grant for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The fair values of the fully vested re-priced employee options were determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Litigation

New York Medical, Inc. and Redwood Investment Associates, L.P. vs. American United Global, Inc., et al. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County) . In this suit, filed on December 12, 2003, plaintiffs seek a declaration that a series of transactions by which the Company allegedly acquired Lifetime Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Lifetime") and Lifetime acquired an interest in NY Medical from Redwood (collectively "Transactions") were properly rescinded or, alternatively, that because the Transactions were induced by fraudulent conduct of our company and others, that the Transactions should be judicially rescinded. In addition to the requests for equitable relief, plaintiffs also seek monitory damages in excess of $5 million and exemplary damages in the amount of $15 million.

Currently, the suit has not proceeded past the filing and service of the complaint. The Company has obtained an open-ended extension of time in which to answer and/or move with regard to the complaint. The Company is attempting to resolve the matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be aggressively defended. Management believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Grace Brothers Ltd. vs. Solar Thin Films, Inc. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County) . On March 4, 2009, Grace Brothers Ltd. brought an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, seeking damages of approximately $255,000 in alleged registration delay penalties.  On July 16, 2009, the Company filed its answer to the complaint denying all of Grace’s allegations.  We are attempting to resolve the matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be aggressively defended.  Management believes that the plaintiff’s suit is without merit, and further believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that the Company considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not involved currently in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future .
 
Contingent Obligation

The Company remains contingently liable for certain capital lease obligations assumed by EGLOBE, Inc. ("EGLOBE") as part of the Connectsoft Communications Corp. asset sale which was consummated in June 1999. The lessor filed for bankruptcy in 2000 and the leases were acquired by another leasing organization which subsequently also filed for bankruptcy in 2001. In addition, EGLOBE filed for bankruptcy in 2001. The Company has been unable to obtain any further information about the parties but believes that in the normal course of the proceedings that another company most likely acquired the assets and related leases and that a mutually acceptable financial arrangement was reached to accomplish such a transfer.

To date, the Company has not been contacted and has not been notified of any delinquency in payments due under these leases. The original leases were entered into during early to mid 1997 each of which was for a five-year term. Extensions of an additional 20 months were negotiated with the original lessor in 1998 and 1999 moving the ending date to approximately mid 2004. The balance due under the leases in June 1999 upon transfer and sale to EGLOBE was approximately $2,800,000 including accrued interest and the monthly payments were approximately $55,000. The balance that is currently due under the leases is unknown and there would most likely have been negotiated reductions of amounts due during the bankruptcy proceedings.

In 1996, the Company issued an unsecured 8% $1.5 million note to an unrelated party in connection with the Company's acquisition of a software company. The note was due and payable on April 30, 1999. The note was governed by the laws of the State of New York. The New York statute of limitations for seeking to collect on a note is six years from the maturity date. The creditor has never sought to collect the note since its maturity date and in or about 2001 orally advised a representative of the Company that it had "written off the debt." Although the Company has previously and currently listed the note as a liability on its balance sheet, it does not believe that it has any further liability under this note.

Proposed Acquisition of Algatec

On October 20, 2008, Robert M. Rubin, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Solar Thin Films, formed Algatec Equity Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), for the purpose of acquiring up to 49% of the share capital of Algatec.  Effective as October 30, 2008, Algatec and members of Algatec senior management consisting of Messrs. Rainer Ruschke, Ullrich Jank, Dr. Stefan Malik and Andre Freud (collectively, the “Management Stockholders”), and Anderkonto R.

Proposed Acquisition of Algatec (continued)

The general partner of the Partnership is Algatec Management LLP, a Delaware limited liability company owned by The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust and other persons.  Mr. Rubin and Barry Pomerantz, a business associate of Mr. Rubin, are the managers of the general partner.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the general partner agreed to invest a total of $165,000 in the Partnership in consideration for 5.0% of the assets, profits and losses of the Partnership.  The limited partners, who invested an aggregate of $3,200,000 at the First Closing and additional persons the Partnership will seek to admit as limited partners by the Second Closing, will own 95.0% of the Partnership assets, profits and losses. As part of the First Closing, The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust invested an additional $1,500,000, as a limited partner, on the same terms as other limited partners of the Partnership.

In addition to its equity investment, the Partnership has agreed under the terms of a loan agreement entered into at the same time as the Algatec Share Purchase Agreement, to lend to Algatec on or about November 30, 2008 (the “Second Closing”), an additional $2,600,000 or approximately €2,000,000.  The proceeds of the loan was to be used to assist Algatec in paying the balance of the purchase price for all of the assets and equity of the Trend Capital limited partnership.  Upon funding of the loan, the Partnership would purchase for €9,250 an additional 9,250 shares, representing 21.5% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec, thereby increasing its ownership to an aggregate of 49% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec.  The loan, together with interest at the rate of 6% per annum, is repayable on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or the completion of one or more financings providing Algatec with up to $50.0 million of proceeds for expansion (the “Algatec Financing”).  Upon the Partnership funding the entire €2,000,000 loan at the Second Closing, the Management Group would own the remaining 51% of the share capital of Algatec.  If the Partnership funds less than the full €2,000,000 loan, the additional 21.5% equity to be issued to the Partnership at the Second Closing was to have been appropriately pro-rated.  On December 29, 2008, the Partnership consummated the Second Closing with Algatec and funded a loan of €2,000,000 ($2.6 million) as a result of which the Partnership’s total equity ownership in Algatec was fixed at 49% of the total number of outstanding Algatec shares.

Effective as of October 30, 2008, the Trustee, the Management Group and the Partnership (collectively, the “Algatec Stockholders”) and Algatec entered into a stock exchange agreement. Under the terms of the stock exchange agreement the Algatec stockholders agreed, subject to certain conditions, to exchange 100% of the share capital of Algatec for shares of our newly authorized Series B-5 convertible preferred stock.  The Series B-5 preferred stock is convertible at any time into that number of shares of our common stock as shall represent 60% of our “Fully-Diluted Common Stock” (as defined).  The term “Fully-Diluted Common Stock” means the aggregate number of shares of Company common stock issued and outstanding as at the date of closing of the share exchange, after giving pro-forma effect to the sale or issuance of any shares of common stock (a) that were issued at any time following the October 30, 2008 date of execution of the stock exchange agreement and prior to consummation of the Algatec acquisition, (b) that are issuable upon conversion of any Company convertible securities or upon the exercise of any warrants that were issued at any time between October 31, 2008 and consummation of the Algatec acquisition, and (c) that are issuable upon full conversion of the Series B-5 preferred stock.  However, the Algatec stockholders shall be subject to pro-rata dilution resulting from the issuance of (i) approximately 19.6 million shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes or the exercise of options and warrants that were outstanding as at October 30, 2008, (ii) any shares of Company common stock issued in connection with providing financing for Algatec (as described below), or (iii) any shares of Company common stock issued or issuable after completion of the Algatec acquisition.  Consummation of the Algatec acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including Algatec obtaining up to $50.0 million of the Algatec Financing to enable it to construct the addition to its existing manufacturing facility and purchase the necessary equipment to expand its business and meet contractual obligations to Q-Cells and other customers, as described above.

However, the Partnership (as the owner of approximately 47% of the outstanding Algatec shares) and the Company intend to consummate a transaction on or about September 15, 2009, whereby the Partnership will exchange all of its Algatec shares for shares of Company common stock.  It is expected that upon consummation of such exchange, the Partnership or its partners will receive shares of Company common stock representing approximately 28.2% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
  
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
    
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
  
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
  
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (continued)

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 157, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
   
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.  All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

The Company operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft Elektronikai Zrt (“Kraft”). The Company expects the primary use of such photovoltaic thin film modules will be the construction of solar power plants by corporations and governments.

On April 3, 2009, the Company and Kraft entered into a restated share exchange agreement with Buda Solar Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Buda Solar”) and its shareholders.  Under the terms of such agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, Kraft will acquire 100% of the share capital of Buda Solar and will issue to the stockholders of Buda Solar 49% of the share capital of Kraft.  As a result, the Company will own 51% of Kraft and our 51% owned Kraft subsidiary will, in turn, own 100% of the share capital of Buda Solar.  Buda Solar is engaged in the providing technical and installation services for the production and installation of thin film a-Si solar module manufacturing equipment.  Consummation of the Buda Solar transaction has been amended on April 30, 2009 and rescheduled to occur during the third quarter ending September 30, 2009.

Effective as of October 30, 2008, the Company entered into a stock exchange agreement with Algatec Solar AG and its shareholders.  Algatec produces, sells and distributes metallurgical and other types of crystalline silicon solar panels or modules.  For a description of the terms of this agreement, see “ Description of our Business –Algatec-Potential   manufacture of crystalline silicon solar modules” in our Form 10-K/A.

The Company, in the future, may further vertically integrate itself within this industry through activities in, but not limited to, investing in and/or operating the module manufacturing plants, selling thin film photovoltaic modules, and installing and/or managing solar power plants. The Company also intends, directly and through joint ventures or strategic alliances with other companies or governmental agencies, to sell equipment for and participate financially in solar power facilities using thin film a-Si solar modules or metallurgical and other crystalline solar modules as the power source to provide electricity to municipalities, businesses and consumers.

Consummation of both the Buda Solar and Algatec acquisitions as well as all other expansion plans of the Company are subject to its ability to solve its significant working capital shortages; make payment or other arrangements for the resolution of approximately $2.923 million of indebtedness (approximately $1.75 million of which became in default in March 2009 and approximately $1.2 million of indebtedness which became in default in June 2009) and other accrued accounts payable, all of which are overdue.  In the event that the Company is unable to resolve these matters within the next 90 days, it may be unable to continue in business and/or may be required to seek protection from its creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Act.
 
Kraft and Buda Solar are each Hungarian corporations and their headquarters are located in Budapest, Hungary.  Algatec is a German corporation and its headquarters are located in Proesen, Germany.  Solar Thin Films is a Delaware corporation and its headquarters are located at 25 Highland Boulevard, Dix Hills, New York 11746.

Company History

Solar Thin Films History

The Company was initially organized as a New York corporation on June 22, 1988 under the name Alrom Corp. ("Alrom"), and completed an initial public offering of securities in August 1990. Alrom effected a statutory merger in December 1991, pursuant to which Alrom was reincorporated in the State of Delaware under the name American United Global, Inc. Prior to the acquisition of Kraft, the Company intended to focus its business strategy on acquisitions of operating businesses in various sectors. On June 14, 2006, in connection with its business strategy, the Company closed on the acquisition of 95.5% of the outstanding securities of Kraft. In addition, the Company acquired the remaining 4.5% minority interest in August 2007 and, as a result, now conducts its operations via Kraft, the wholly-owned subsidiary.

Kraft History
 
Kraft was founded in 1993, shortly after the breakup of the communist economy in Hungary. Its founding members were associated with the Hungarian Central Research Institute for Physics. In 1996, Kraft was contracted to develop thin-film photovoltaic deposition equipment for production of amorphous silicon based thin-film modules, as well as complete turnkey facilities. Photovoltaics (PV) is the physical phenomenon, which allows certain semiconductor materials to directly convert sunlight into electricity.
 
In the subsequent years, Kraft has manufactured equipment for such facilities in New Jersey, Germany, Hungary, China, Taiwan, Greece and Portugal. In producing equipment for these facilities, Kraft developed substantial equipment manufacturing expertise. More recently as a supplier to RESI for the CG Solar project in Weihai, China Kraft developed additional process expertise required to allow it to become a leading manufacturer of “turnkey” plants, including the delivery of both equipment and services that produce photovoltaics modules utilizing thin-film technology. Kraft is now using this expertise to deliver its first "turnkey" plant in Spain commenced in December 2008 and continuing through 2009.

Stock Exchange Agreement with BudaSolar Technologies Co. Ltd.

On April 3, 2009, the Company and Kraft entered into a restated share exchange agreement with BudaSolar Technologies Co. Ltd. (“BudaSolar”) and its shareholders.  Under the terms of such agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, Kraft will acquire 100% of the share capital of BudaSolar and will issue to the stockholders of BudaSolar 49% of the share capital of Kraft.  As a result, the Company will own 51% of Kraft and our 51% owned Kraft subsidiary will, in turn, own 100% of the share capital of BudaSolar.  BudaSolar is engaged in the providing technical and installation services for the production and installation of thin film a-Si solar module manufacturing equipment.  Consummation of the Buda Solar transaction has been amended on April 30, 2009 and rescheduled to occur during the third quarter ending September 30, 2009.

Under the terms of a separate agreement with BudaSolar, Kraft has contracted to purchase from BudaSolar (1) equipment assembly services on some of its equipment based on a fixed fee per equipment, and (2) installation related technical services based on hourly rates.  In connection with these services, Kraft has paid $1,370,000 in advances to BudaSolar during the second quarter of 2009. BudaSolar has provided $1,061,514 worth of services in 2009 to Kraft, which left a balance of advances wired to BudaSolar of $308,486 as of June 30, 2009.  Advances to BudaSolar have been fully settled in July 2009.  During 2008, BudaSolar received $750,000 by the Stock Exchange Agreement from the Company, which was fully repaid in the second quarter of 2009.

Agreements with Algatec Solar AG

On October 20, 2008, Robert M. Rubin, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Solar Thin Films, formed Algatec Equity Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), for the purpose of acquiring up to 49% of the share capital of Algatec.  Effective as October 30, 2008, Algatec and members of Algatec senior management consisting of Messrs. Rainer Ruschke, Ullrich Jank, Dr. Stefan Malik and Andre Freud (collectively, the “Management Stockholders”), and Anderkonto R. Richter, Esq., as trustee for Mr. Ruschke and another Algatec stockholder (the “Trustee”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Algatec Share Purchase Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Algatec Share Purchase Agreement, on November 3, 2008 (the “First Closing”) the Partnership invested an aggregate of $3,513,000, of which approximately €2,476,000 was represented by a contribution to the equity of Algatec to enable it to acquire all of the assets and equity of Trend Capital, the predecessor to Algatec.  The Partnership also purchased for €1.00 per share a total of 13,750 Algatec shares, representing 27.5% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec.

The general partner of the Partnership is Algatec Management LLP, a Delaware limited liability company owned by The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust and other persons.  Mr. Rubin and Barry Pomerantz, a business associate of Mr. Rubin, are the managers of the general partner.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the general partner agreed to invest a total of $165,000 in the Partnership in consideration for 5.0% of the assets, profits and losses of the Partnership.  The limited partners, who invested an aggregate of $3,200,000 at the First Closing and additional persons the Partnership will seek to admit as limited partners by the Second Closing, will own 95.0% of the Partnership assets, profits and losses. As part of the First Closing, The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust invested an additional $1,500,000, as a limited partner, on the same terms as other limited partners of the Partnership.

The general partner of the Partnership is Algatec Management LLP, a Delaware limited liability company owned by The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust and other persons.  Mr. Rubin and Barry Pomerantz, a business associate of Mr. Rubin, are the managers of the general partner.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the general partner agreed to invest a total of $165,000 in the Partnership in consideration for 5.0% of the assets, profits and losses of the Partnership.  The limited partners, who invested an aggregate of $3,200,000 at the First Closing and additional persons the Partnership will seek to admit as limited partners by the Second Closing, will own 95.0% of the Partnership assets, profits and losses. As part of the First Closing, The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust invested an additional $1,500,000, as a limited partner, on the same terms as other limited partners of the Partnership.

In addition to its equity investment, the Partnership has agreed under the terms of a loan agreement entered into at the same time as the Algatec Share Purchase Agreement, to lend to Algatec on or about November 30, 2008 (the “Second Closing”), an additional $2,600,000 or approximately €2,000,000.  The proceeds of the loan were to be used to assist Algatec in paying the balance of the purchase price for all of the assets and equity of the Trend Capital limited partnership.  Upon funding of the loan, the Partnership would purchase for €9,250 an additional 9,250 shares, representing 21.5% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec, thereby increasing its ownership to an aggregate of 49% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec.  The loan, together with interest at the rate of 6% per annum, is repayable on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or the completion of a financing providing Algatec with up to $50.0 million of proceeds for expansion (the “Algatec Financing”).  Upon the Partnership funding the entire €2,000,000 loan at the Second Closing, the Management Group would own the remaining 51% of the share capital of Algatec.  If the Partnership funds less than the full €2,000,000 loan, the additional 21.5% equity to be issued to the Partnership at the Second Closing was to have been appropriately pro-rated.  On December 29, 2008, the Partnership consummated the Second Closing with Algatec and funded a loan of €2,000,000 ($2.6 million) as a result of which the Partnership’s total equity ownership in Algatec was fixed at 49% of the total number of outstanding Algatec shares.

Effective as of October 30, 2008, the Trustee, the Management Group and the Partnership (collectively, the “Algatec Stockholders”) and Algatec entered into a stock exchange agreement. Under the terms of the stock exchange agreement the Algatec stockholders agreed, subject to certain conditions, to exchange 100% of the share capital of Algatec for shares of our newly authorized Series B-5 convertible preferred stock.  The Series B-5 preferred stock is convertible at any time into that number of shares of our common stock as shall represent 60% of our “Fully-Diluted Common Stock” (as defined).  The term “Fully-Diluted Common Stock” means the aggregate number of shares of Company common stock issued and outstanding as at the date of closing of the share exchange, after   giving pro-forma effect to the sale or issuance of any shares of common stock (a) that were issued at any time following the October 30, 2008 date of execution of the stock exchange agreement and prior to consummation of the Algatec acquisition, (b) that are issuable upon conversion of any Company convertible securities or upon the exercise of any warrants that were issued at any time between October 31, 2008 and consummation of the Algatec acquisition, and (c) that are issuable upon full conversion of the Series B-5 preferred stock.  However, the Algatec stockholders shall be subject to pro-rata dilution resulting from the issuance of (i) approximately 19.6 million shares of Company common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible notes or the exercise of options and warrants that were outstanding as at October 30, 2008, (ii) any shares of Company common stock issued in connection with providing financing for Algatec (as described below), or (iii) any shares of Company common stock issued or issuable after completion of the Algatec acquisition.  Consummation of the Algatec acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including Algatec obtaining up to $50.0 million of the Algatec Financing to enable it to construct the addition to its existing manufacturing facility and purchase the necessary equipment to expand its business and meet contractual obligations to Q-Cells and other customers, as described above.

On April 10, 2009, the parties agreed to extend the anticipated closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Exchange Agreement to July 15, 2009.  Consummation of the transaction was subject to certain conditions, including our ability to arrange for the $50.0 million Algatec Financing.  Such Algatec Financing condition was not fulfilled and the agreement expired on July 15, 2009.
 
However, the Partnership (as the owner of approximately 47% of the outstanding Algatec shares) and the Company intend to consummate a transaction on or about September 15, 2009, whereby the Partnership will exchange all of its Algatec shares for shares of Company common stock.  It is expected that upon consummation of such exchange, the Partnership or its partners will receive shares of Company common stock representing approximately 28.2% of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock.

Solar Thin Power

In 2007, the Company formed Solar Thin Power, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Solar Thin Power was to engage in power projects.  It currently owns a 15% interest in CG Solar Company Limited, the Company’s joint venture in China (and has agreed to purchase another 5%), and is in preliminary discussions with other prospective joint venture partners with respect to marketing and financing of various power projects.

In 2007 and 2008, Solar Thin Power received an aggregate of $3,498,396 of financing from ten unaffiliated investors who purchased common stock of Solar Thin Power at $0.50 per share.  Approximately $1,500,000 of the proceeds of such financing used by Solar Thin Power to acquire a 20% minority interest in a thin film a-Si solar module manufacturing facility in China and the balance of such proceeds were loaned to Solar Thin Films for working capital.  Under the terms of the transaction, if Solar Thin Power was not a publicly traded corporation by June 2009, the investors in Solar Thin Power have the right to require Solar Thin Films to repurchase half of their portion of their minority equity in Solar Thin Power for $1,767,500. This obligation was eliminated with the merger of Solar Thin Power effective June 30, 2009.

Prior to the Merger, Solar Thin Films owned 63.64% the outstanding shares of Solar Thin Power common stock. As part of the Merger agreement, certain officers and directors returned and cancelled certain previously issued shares. Therefore at the time of the Merger, an aggregate of 64,403,333 shares of Solar Thin Power were issued and outstanding, of which Solar Thin Films owned 43,000,000 shares or 66.77%.  In April 2009, Solar Thin Films agreed to transfer 1,333,333 of its Solar Thin Power shares to Strategic Growth International Inc. in lieu of cash compensation payable under a one year investor relations agreement expiring March 31, 2010.  In addition, Solar Thin Power agreed to issue three year warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power to Strategic Growth International at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.
 
As a result of the foregoing transactions, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Solar Thin Films owns an aggregate of 43,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power common stock, and stockholders of Solar Thin Power, other than Solar Thin Films, currently own an aggregate of 21,403,333 shares of the 64,403,333 outstanding shares of Solar Thin Power common stock, and Strategic Growth International holds warrants to purchase an additional 2,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power.  Peter C. Lewis, Group Vice President and General Manager of the Thin Film Group and former Chief Executive Officer and President of Solar Thin Films owns 2,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power and The Rubin Family Stock Trust owns 2,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power.

The Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective June 30, 2009 (the “Agreement”) with Solar Thin Power and the shareholders owning a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Solar Thin Power pursuant to which Solar Thin Power was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”).  Following the consummation of the Merger, effective June 30, 2009, Solar Thin Power will be operated as a division of the Company and will seek to facilitate power projects and joint ventures designed to provide solar electricity using thin film a-Si solar modules. 

Under the terms of the Merger:

 
·
the shareholders of Solar Thin Power, other than the Company, will receive an aggregate of 32,105,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or one and one-half shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Solar Thin Power common stock owned by them;

 
·
each full share of Solar Thin Power common stock that is issuable upon exercise of any Solar Thin Power warrants as at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into and exchanged for the right to purchase or receive one full share of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of such Solar Thin Power warrants; and

 
·
all of the 43,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power common stock owned by the Company will be cancelled.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company's discussion and analysis of its consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumption and disclosures. The Company chooses accounting policies within US GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report the Company's consolidated operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:

 
·
Revenue Recognition;
 
·
Cost of Sales;
 
·
General, Selling and Administrative Expenses;
 
·
Allowance for doubtful accounts;
 
·
Research and development;
 
·
Derivative liability;
 
·
Product warranty reserve;
 
·
Stock Based Compensation;
 
·
Use of Estimates; and
 
·
Acquisition - Kraft.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from Equipment sales, which include equipment and sometimes installation, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101"). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

 
9

 

Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. Deferred revenues as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 amounted to $1,790,191 and $33,452, respectively. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21"), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the customer is fixed, collectibility is reasonable assured and title and risk of ownership is passed to the customer, which is usually upon shipment. However, certain customers traditionally have requested to take title and risk of ownership prior to shipment. Revenue for these transactions is recognized only when:

 
·
Title and risk of ownership have passed to the customer;
 
·
The Company has obtained a written fixed purchase commitment;
 
·
The customer has requested the transaction be on a bill and hold basis;
 
·
The customer has provided a delivery schedule;
 
·
All performance obligations related to the sale have been completed;
 
·
The product has been processed to the customer’s specifications, accepted by the customer and made ready for shipment; and
 
·
The product is segregated and is not available to fill other orders.

The remittance terms for these “bill and hold” transactions are consistent with all other sale by the Company. There were no bill and hold transactions at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
For Complete Factory sales, which include sale of equipment, installation and commissioning, the Company recognizes revenues from the product portion (pieces of equipment) on shipment and services portion (installation and commissioning process) upon completion of the installation and commissioning process.  The commissioning includes a range of consulting services necessary to successfully complete a performance test, such as training of management, engineering and production personnel, debugging and resolving problems, initial oversight or support for vendor relations and purchasing, documentation and transfer of process knowledge and potential co-management of the production line during performance testing or completion of the training process.  The Company has started its shipment of the factory sales, product portion (pieces of equipment) in December 2008, and the service portion (installation and commissioning) is expected to be completed during the fiscal year 2009.
 
The Company has accounted for its Equipment Sales and Factory Sales arrangements as separate units of accounting as a) the shipped equipment (both Equipment Sales and Factory Sales) has value to the customer on a standalone basis, b) there is an objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the service portion of the revenue (installation and commissioning) as such approximate the fair value that a third party would charge the Company’s customer for the installation and commissioning fees if the customer so desire not to use the Company’s services, or the customer could complete the process using the information in the owner’s manual, although it would probably take significantly longer than it would take the Company’s technicians and or a third party to perform the installation and commissioning process, and c) there is no right of return for the shipped equipment and all equipments are inspected and approved by the customer before shipment.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes cost of raw materials, labor, production depreciation and amortization, subcontractor work, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and absorbed indirect manufacturing cost, as well as installation related travel costs and warranty costs.

General, Selling and Administrative Expenses

General, selling and administrative expenses primarily include indirect labor costs, rental fees, accounting, legal and consulting fees.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

We are required to estimate the collectibility of our trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables including the current creditworthiness of each customer and related aging of the past due balances. In order to assess the collectibility of these receivables, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations we may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to us and are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Our reserves are also based on amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but are not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. We are not able to predict changes in the financial condition of our customers and if circumstances related to our customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of our receivables could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if we provided more allowances than are ultimately required, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on our actual collection experience.

Research and development

Solar Thin Films accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.” Under SFAS 2, all research and development cost must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development cost are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.

Derivative Liability
 
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted EITF 07-5 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption resulted in our warrants with anti-dilutive provisions being classified as derivatives in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133.
 
Product Warranty Reserves

The Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with the FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” as a charge in the current period cost of goods sold. The range for the warranty coverage for the Company’s products is up to 18 to 24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of repairs under such warranties based on historical experience and any known specific product information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically by management and based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The Company’s determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as such, actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous expectations.

The Company accrued a provision for product warranty costs of approximately $180,000 during 2007; of which approximately $85,000 was utilized during the year ended December 31, 2007. During 2008 an additional $73,000 in warranty costs were accrued and a total of $108,070 was utilized, leaving a balance of approximately $59,930 remaining as of December 31, 2008. During the first six months of 2009 the Company accrued an additional $79,770 in warranty costs as a result of shipments to Grupo Unisolar, and did not incur any product warranty costs, leaving a balance of $139,700 in product warranty provision as of June 30, 2009.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R) “Share-Based Payment” which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and eliminates the intrinsic value method that was provided in SFAS 123 for accounting of stock-based compensation to employees. The Company made no employee stock-based compensation grants before December 31, 2005 and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $313,269 and $643,105, respectively and $220,543 and $381,905 for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements. The Company analyzes its estimates, including those related to future contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Acquisition - Kraft

Commencing in March 2006 through June 2006, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with shareholders of Kraft that together owned 95.5% of the equity interest in Kraft to acquire their interests. On June 14, 2006, the Company closed on the acquisition of 95.5% of the outstanding securities of Kraft and, as a result, Kraft became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. In consideration for the shares of Kraft, the Company issued the sellers an aggregate of 95,500 shares of Series B-4 Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Shares”). Each Preferred Share is automatically converted into 350 shares of common stock or an aggregate of 33,425,000 shares of common stock upon us increasing our authorized shares of common stock and, prior to such conversion, the Preferred Shares had the same voting rights of the shares of common stock and voted together with the shares of common stock on all matters.
 
As a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement, there was a change in control of STF, the public entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Kraft was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of Kraft's capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and Kraft is the surviving entity. The total purchase price and carrying value of net assets acquired was $6,681,891. Additionally, on August 3, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 4.5% minority interest of Kraft in exchange for 1,575,000 shares of common stock value at $1,181,250, and as a result, Kraft is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. Prior to the Agreement, the Company was an inactive corporation with no significant assets and liabilities.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s subsidiaries have entered into non-cancelable operational agreements for office premises.

In connection with the acquisition of Kraft, the Company entered into consulting agreements with Robert Rubin and Zoltan Kiss pursuant to which each consultant would receive an annual salary of $160,000 per annum, reimbursement for up to $5,000 in expenses associated with company activities and major medical benefits in consideration for services performed on behalf of the company. Each of these agreements was for a term of three years and has been supplanted by subsequent events. Mr. Rubin’s salary was increased to $225,000 per annum when he assumed the duties of Chief Financial Officer. In December 2007, Mr. Kiss resigned as director of the Company and subsequently agreed to waive his rights to such payments pursuant to a pending settlement agreement with the Company as described elsewhere in this report.

On April 7, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to the employment agreement of Peter Lewis under which Mr. Lewis agreed to resign as the President, Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the board of directors of the Company, effective as of March 31, 2009. There was no disagreement or dispute between Mr. Lewis and the Company which led to his resignation.  Effective as of April 1, 2009, Mr. Lewis was appointed as Group Vice President and General Manager of the Thin Film Group of the Company through June 1, 2010.  The Thin Film Group shall consist of the manufacture and sale of PV Equipment.  In this capacity, Mr. Lewis will be primarily responsible for generating orders and sales of PV Equipment and he will provide general oversight of the manufacturing operations of the Kraft and BudaSolar subsidiaries of the Company, and together with Messrs. Krafcsik and Horvath, will be responsible for generating profits for the Thin Film Equipment Group.

In November 2005, the Company entered into a three year fixed term lease agreement for our corporate offices and facilities in Budapest, Hungary at a rate ranging from $4,543 to $15,433 per month as the lease has provisions for additional space for the period calendar year of 2006 and beyond. The lease agreement provides for moderate increases in rent after the first year in accordance with the inflationary index published by the Central Statistical Office. In November 2007, the Company signed the modification of lease agreement resulted a charge of $20,800 per months from January 1, 2008 for three years period of time through December 31, 2010. The minimum future cash flow for the leases at June 30, 2009 is as follows:

In 1996, the Company issued an unsecured 8%, $1.5 million note to an unrelated party that was due and payable April 30, 1999.  The note was governed by the laws of the State of New York.  The New York statute of limitations for seeking to collect on a note is six years from the maturity date.  The creditor has never sought to collect the note since its maturity date and in or about 2001 orally advised a representative of the Company that it had "written off the debt."  Although the Company has previously and currently listed the note as a liability on its balance sheet, it does not believe that it has any further liability under this note.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, revenues increased by 526.6% or $3,834,191 as compared to the similar period in 2008.  The 526.6% increased revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily due to continued deliveries on a large Factory Sale contract to Grupo Unisolar, S.A. of Spain. Since the Company did not deliver any Equipment Sales in the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, revenues transitioned during the quarter from 100% Equipment Sales in 2008 to 100% product portion of Factory Sales in 2009.   

During 2007 and 2008, the Company began to shift its marketing focus from Equipment Sales to Factory Sales (delivered on a “turnkey” basis, which by definition include a full set of equipment plus installation and training services or commissioning process). The Company signed its first deal in June of 2008 (and received the balance of its deposit in September 2008), for which it completed its first minor equipment portion of the Factory Sales delivery in December of 2008 valued at $147,262. The Company began shipping the balance of the equipment in March of 2009 and expects to deliver substantially all of the equipment for this 7.9 million euro order during fiscal year 2009. During 2009, the Company also expects that a majority of its revenue will come from Factory Sales rather than Equipment Sales, and does not expect to derive any substantial revenue from related parties. Commencing in 2008, the Company has decided to further break out its revenue into Equipment Sales and Factory Sales and to continue to do so in the future in both annual and quarterly filings.
 
While the Company is pursuing additional business opportunities - both Factory Sales and Equipment Sales, given the limited amount of historical business volume we cannot provide assurance regarding future sales. As the Company shifts primarily from Equipment Sales secured by purchase orders to Factory Sales secured by contracts, management expects that it may become easier to forecast future volume based upon long-term contracts and then established trends. In either case, the Company produces individual pieces of equipment (standard not generally custom) based on individual customer orders.  Comparison of different financial reporting periods will show significant fluctuations, primarily due to the value of outstanding and completed contracts or orders during the period. Therefore, historical figures (whether on a comparative period over period percentage analysis in a linear fashion or otherwise) may not have much meaning with respect to future changes in revenue and should not be used to make predictions about future revenue performance. For example, revenue could increase 400% period over period if the Company booked and invoiced one or more complete factory orders or it could decrease 100% or more if the Company failed to successfully deliver on a Factory Sale order or only managed to book and invoice orders for production of selected equipment, i.e. an Equipment Sale.  Therefore, management is not in the position to predict future revenue flow or make conclusions based on actual historical figures.  For example, recent increases and decreases in revenue are not dramatic as compared to our existing 7.9 million euro contract with Grupo Unisolar, which is expected to be completed during 2009 and which commenced shipping in December 2008. However, we can not provide absolute assurance that signed contracts, Grupo Unisolar or other, will be completed as expected or predicted. One complete factory may exceed $12 million in value but with unexpected financial or technical problems, production may slow down the completion of the contract.  In conclusion, revenue prediction by management is difficult as of the date of this report.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our cost of sales was $3,297,095, or 72.3% of revenue as compared to $662,361, or 91.0% of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in cost of sales of $2,634,734 from the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 to the same period in 2009 was primarily a result of an increase in sales of 526.6%. The margin improvement was a function of i) improved margins due to the transition from Equipment Sales to Factory Sales and ii) 32.4% swings in the US dollar as compared to the Hungarian Forint. The average exchange rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased to 210.78 in HuF from 159.24 in HuF for each US Dollar for the three months ended June 30, 2008. 
 
Our cost of revenue predominantly consists of the cost of labor, raw materials, depreciation and absorbed indirect manufacturing cost.

In late 2005, the Company suspended its internal research and development activity and in December 2006 signed a contract for certain research and development activities with Renewable Energy Solutions, Inc. (RESI). This contract - at a rate of $30,000 per month - remained in force through the first part of 2008. Subsequently, the Company suspended the research and development contract with RESI in anticipation of its planned acquisition of Buda Solar, a company with its own internal research and development activity.

Depreciation and amortization has decreased by $11,606 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease is mainly due to the aging of equipment purchased in previous years, and the company’s ability to increase production incrementally with minimal capital investment.

Interest expense, net has increased by $184,071 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is mainly due to the recording of a 25% redemption penalty on our June 2006 convertible notes of $293,250, net with a decrease due to the related debt discount fully amortized in 2009.

Since the Company did not deliver any Equipment Sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues transitioned during the six months from 100% Equipment Sales in 2008 to 100% product portion of Factory Sales in 2009.   

During 2007 and 2008, the Company began to shift its marketing focus from Equipment Sales to Factory Sales (delivered on a “turnkey” basis, which by definition include a full set of equipment plus installation and training services or commissioning process). The Company signed its first deal in June of 2008 (and received the balance of its deposit in September 2008), for which it completed its first minor equipment portion of the Factory Sales delivery in December of 2008 valued at $147,262. The Company began shipping the balance of the equipment in March of 2009 and expects to deliver substantially all of the equipment for this 7.9 million euro order during fiscal year 2009. During 2009, the Company also expects that a majority of its revenue will come from Factory Sales rather than Equipment Sales, and does not expect to derive any substantial revenue from related parties. Commencing in 2008, the Company has decided to further break out its revenue into Equipment Sales and Factory Sales and to continue to do so in the future in both annual and quarterly filings.

While the Company is pursuing additional business opportunities - both Factory Sales and Equipment Sales, given the limited amount of historical business volume we cannot provide assurance regarding future sales. As the Company shifts primarily from Equipment Sales secured by purchase orders to Factory Sales secured by contracts, management expects that it may become easier to forecast future volume based upon long-term contracts and then established trends. In either case, the Company produces individual pieces of equipment (standard not generally custom) based on individual customer orders.  Comparison of different financial reporting periods will show significant fluctuations, primarily due to the value of outstanding and completed contracts or orders during the period. Therefore, historical figures (whether on a comparative period over period percentage analysis in a linear fashion or otherwise) may not have much meaning with respect to future changes in revenue and should not be used to make predictions about future revenue performance. For example, revenue could increase 400% period over period if the Company booked and invoiced one or more complete factory orders or it could decrease 100% or more if the Company failed to successfully deliver on a Factory Sale order or only managed to book and invoice orders for production of selected equipment, i.e. an Equipment Sale.  Therefore, management is not in the position to predict future revenue flow or make conclusions based on actual historical figures.  For example, recent increases and decreases in revenue are not dramatic as compared to our existing 7.9 million euro contract with Grupo Unisolar, which is expected to be completed during 2009 and which commenced shipping in December 2008. However, we can not provide absolute assurance that signed contracts, Grupo Unisolar or other, will be completed as expected or predicted. One complete factory may exceed $12 million in value but with unexpected financial or technical problems, production may slow down the completion of the contract.  In conclusion, revenue prediction by management is difficult as of the date of this report.

Cost of sales

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our cost of sales was $4,125,771, or 66.3% of revenue as compared to $932,945, or 91.8% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in cost of sales of $3,192,826 from the six months ended June 30, 2008 to the same period in 2009 was primarily a result of an increase in sales of 512.3%. The margin improvement was a function of i) improved margins due to the transition from Equipment Sales to Factory Sales and ii) 31% swings in the US dollar as compared to the Hungarian Forint. The average exchange rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased to 217.96 in HuF from 166.43 in HuF for each US Dollar for the six months ended June 30, 2008. 
 
Our cost of revenue predominantly consists of the cost of labor, raw materials, depreciation and absorbed indirect manufacturing cost.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,559,095 as compared to $2,112,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $447,056 is attributable to additional staff, consultants, legal and audit related, incurred in 2009 as compared with in 2008.

 Our research and development for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $-0- compared to $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. In late 2005, the Company suspended its internal research and development activity and in December 2006 signed a contract for certain research and development activities with Renewable Energy Solutions, Inc. (RESI). This contract - at a rate of $30,000 per month - remained in force through the first part of 2008. Subsequently, the Company suspended the research and development contract with RESI in anticipation of its planned acquisition of Buda Solar, a company with its own internal research and development activity.

Depreciation and amortization

The following table summarizes our depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Depreciation and amortization has decreased by $23,287 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease is mainly due to the aging of equipment purchased in previous years, and the company’s ability to increase production incrementally with minimal capital investment.

Interest expense, net

The following table summarizes our interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Interest expense, net has increased by $39,074 in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is mainly due to the recording of a 25% redemption penalty on our June 2006 convertible notes of $293,250, net with a decrease due to the related debt discount fully amortized in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, Solar Thin Power, Inc., a then majority owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired a 15% interest in CG Solar, formerly WeiHai Blue Star Terra Photovoltaic Co., Ltd, a Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China for $1,500,000. The investment of $1,500,000 is carried at cost under the cost method of accounting for investment.

We expect to execute an Equity Transfer Agreement in the third quarter of 2009 pursuant to which we agreed to transfer our investment in CG Solar to a third party in exchange for considerations of $1,350,000.  Accordingly at June 30, 2009, we determined that CG Solar investment was impaired and charged to current period operations an impairment of $150,000.
 
As of June 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $995,116, an increase of $375,859 from December 31, 2008. As described below, the increase in cash and cash equivalents was principally from (i) $379,552 operating activities and effect of currency rate change on cash of $37,322, net with (ii) $41,015 investment in equipment.

 
18

 
 
As of June 30, 2009, we had working capital deficit of $7,418,447. We generated cash flows from operations of $379,552 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This cash flow is primary attributable to our increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $818,653; increase in deferred revenue of $1,555,029,  net decrease in deposits and other current assets of $153,898 along with an decrease in advances to suppliers of $615,620.  Offset to the increases was a net loss of $1,495,850, a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $21,776, increase in accounts receivable of $673,187, increase in inventory of $478,911, decrease of $1,480,464 in advances received from customers, net with depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt discount, deferred compensation and deferred financing costs of $485,522 as well as $692,246 stock-based compensation expense for vested and re-priced stock options, common stock and warrants issued, reserve for bad debts and impairment charges of $200,000 and loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $8,771.
  
Cash flow used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $41,015, due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Exploitation of potential revenue sources will be financed primarily through the sale of securities and convertible debt, issuance of notes payable and other debt or a combination thereof, depending upon the transaction size, market conditions and other factors.

While we have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, additional financing is required within the next 3 months in order to meet our current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and development.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.

As at June 30, 2009, the Company’s consolidated current liabilities exceeded its consolidated current assets by $7,418,447.   The Company is currently in default in the payment of certain notes payable aggregating $1.75 million and $1.2 million which became due in March and June 2009, respectively, and outstanding accounts payable of approximately $4.9 million are also past due.  Unless the Company is able to obtain additional capital or other financing within the next 60 to 90 days, or sooner, its creditors may sue to collect on their notes and accounts.  In such event, the Company may be required to seek protection from its creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Act.  Although the Company is actively pursuing such financing, there is no assurance that it will be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  Even if such financing is obtainable, it may be expected that the terms thereof will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing stockholders of the Company.
 
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

Inflation and Foreign Currency

We maintain our books in local currency: US Dollars for the parent holding Company and Solar Thin Film Power, Inc. in the United States of America and Hungarian Forint for Kraft in Hungary.

We operate primarily outside of the United States through its wholly owned subsidiary. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly affect our sales, profitability and financial position when the foreign currencies, primarily the Hungarian Forint, of its international operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. In additional, we are also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Although we cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may or will affect our business and financial position, there is a risk that such fluctuations will have an adverse impact on the sales, profits and financial position. Because differing portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign currency, movements could impact our margins by, for example, decreasing our foreign revenues when the dollar strengthens and not correspondingly decreasing our expenses. The Company does not currently hedge its currency exposure. In the future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

The translation of the Company’s subsidiaries forint denominated balance sheets into U.S. dollars, as of June 30, 2009, has not been affected by the U.S. dollar against the Hungarian forint due to recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The currency has changed from 149.76 as of June 30, 2008 to 193.27 as of June 30, 2009, approximate 29.05% depreciation in value. The average Hungarian forint/U.S. dollar exchange rates used for the translation of the subsidiaries forint denominated statements of operations into U.S. dollars, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 218.34 and 165.99, respectively.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2009

SFAS No. 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”) . The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The new standard also improves transparency about how and why a company uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009 and addressed the relevant disclosures accordingly.
 
SFAS No. 160
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). In SFAS No. 160, the FASB established accounting and reporting standards that require non-controlling interests to be reported as a component of equity, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest to be accounted for as equity transactions, and any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary to be initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Retroactive application of SFAS No. 160 is prohibited. We adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009 which primarily resulted in moving the presentation of non-controlling interest to the “Stockholders’ equity” section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
EITF No. 07-1
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued EITF No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF No. 07-1”). EITF No. 07-1 prescribes the accounting for parties of a collaborative arrangement to present the results of activities for the party acting as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on other applicable GAAP or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP, based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. Further, EITF No. 07-1 clarified the determination of whether transactions within a collaborative arrangement are part of a vendor-customer (or analogous) relationship subject to Issue No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.” EITF No. 07-1 is effective for collaborative arrangements that exist on January 1, 2009 and application is retrospective. We adopted EITF No. 07-1 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
EITF No. 07-5
 
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF No. 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We adopted EITF No. 07-5 effective January 1, 2009 and the adoption resulted in our warrants with anti-dilutive provisions being classified as derivatives in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position (“FSP”) Issue No. EITF No. 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20” (“FSP EITF No. 99-20-1”). FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company adopted FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following new accounting standards:

·
FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-4, Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed, (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”) provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157.  FSP FAS No. 157-4 provides additional authoritative guidance in determining whether a market is active or inactive and whether a transaction is distressed. It is applicable to all assets and liabilities (i.e., financial and non-financial) and will require enhanced disclosures.

·
FASB Staff Positions FAS No. 115-2, FAS No. 124-2, and EITF No. 99-20-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments , (“FSP FAS No. 115-2, FAS No. 124-2, and EITF No. 99-20-2”) provides additional guidance to provide greater clarity about the credit and noncredit component of an other-than-temporary impairment event and to more effectively communicate when an other-than-temporary impairment event has occurred. This FSP applies to debt securities.

·
FASB Staff Position FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , (“FSP FAS No. 107-1 and APB No. 28-1”) amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting , to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements.

These standards were effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of these accounting standards had no material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
SFAS No. 165
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events”.  We adopted SFAS No. 165 for the Quarterly Report for the period ending June 30, 2009.  SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, which are referred to as subsequent events. The statement clarifies existing guidance on subsequent events, including a requirement that a public entity should evaluate subsequent events through the issue date of the financial statements, the determination of when the effects of subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statement and disclosures regarding all subsequent events.  SFAS 165 also requires a public entity to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  We have evaluated subsequent events through August 14, 2009 as disclosed in Note 20.

SFAS No. 166
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 166 on its consolidated financial statements.

 
21

 

SFAS No. 167

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” which changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 167 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS 167 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
SFAS No. 168
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) as the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also included in the Codification as sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this rule will not affect reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company will implement SFAS 168 in its third quarter Form 10-Q by updating the previous FASB references to the Codification.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 3.             QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4T.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2009.

 
22

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. 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, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in Internal Controls

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1.              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

New York Medical, Inc. and Redwood Investment Associates, L.P. vs. American United Global, Inc., et al. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County) . In this suit, filed on December 12, 2003, plaintiffs seek a declaration that a series of transactions by which we allegedly acquired Lifetime Healthcare Services, Inc. ("Lifetime") and Lifetime acquired an interest in NY Medical from Redwood (collectively "Transactions") were properly rescinded or, alternatively, that because the Transactions were induced by fraudulent conduct of our company and others, that the Transactions should be judicially rescinded. In addition to the requests for equitable relief, plaintiffs also seek monitory damages in excess of $5 million and exemplary damages in the amount of $15 million.

Currently, the suit has not proceeded past the filing and service of the complaint. We have obtained an open-ended extension of time in which to answer and/or move with regard to the complaint. We are attempting to resolve the matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be aggressively defended.  Management believes that the plaintiff’s suit is without merit, and further believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Grace Brothers Ltd. vs. Solar Thin Films, Inc. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County) . On March 4, 2009, Grace Brothers Ltd. brought an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, seeking damages of approximately $255,000 in alleged registration delay penalties.  On July 16, 2009, the Company filed its answer to the complaint denying all of Grace’s allegations.  We are attempting to resolve the matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be aggressively defended.  Management believes that the plaintiff’s suit is without merit, and further believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

From time to time, we are a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not involved currently in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

ITEM 1A.          RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risks to our business described in our Annual Report on Form-10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on April 23, 2009.

ITEM 2.             UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Solar Thin Power and the shareholders owning a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Solar Thin Power pursuant to which Solar Thin Power was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger:

 
·
the shareholders of Solar Thin Power, other than the Company, will receive an aggregate of 32,105,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or one and one-half shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Solar Thin Power common stock owned by them;

 
·
each full share of Solar Thin Power common stock that is issuable upon exercise of any Solar Thin Power warrants as at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into and exchanged for the right to purchase or receive one full share of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of such Solar Thin Power warrants; and

 
·
all of the 43,000,000 shares of Solar Thin Power common stock owned by the Company will be cancelled.

All of the above offerings and sales were deemed to be exempt under rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of Solar Thin Films, Inc. or executive officers of Solar Thin Films, Inc., and transfer was restricted by Solar Thin Films, Inc. in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment.

ITEM 3.             DEFAULTS ON SENIOR SECURITIES

The Company is currently in default in the payment of notes aggregating $1.75 million which became due in March 2009, $1.2 million which became due in June 2009, and outstanding accounts payable of approximately $4.8 million are also past due, unless the Company is able to obtain additional capital or other financing within the next 60 to 90 days, or sooner, its creditors may sue to collect on their notes and accounts.  In such event, the Company may be required to seek protection from its creditors under the Federal Bankruptcy Act.  Although the Company is actively pursuing such financing, there is no assurance that it will be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.  Even if such financing is obtainable, it may be expected that the terms thereof will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing stockholders of the Company.
