PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

Business Development

On July 19, 2005, National Healthcare Technology, Inc., (now Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc.) a Colorado corporation, (the "Company", "us" or "we") completed the acquisition of Special Stone Surfaces, Es3, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Es3") pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Crown Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation and at  such time, the largest stockholder of the Company ("Crown Partners"), Es3, and certain stockholders of Es3 (the "Es3 Stockholders"). The transactions effected by the Exchange Agreement have been accounted for as a reverse merger. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, we had one active operating subsidiary, Es3. Es3 was formed on January 27, 2005 and began operations in March 2005. Effective October 1, 2005, we transferred all of the capital stock of Es3 that we acquired under the Exchange Agreement to Liquid Stone Partners ("Liquid Stone") in exchange for Liquid Stone assuming all known and unknown liabilities of Es3.

Business of Issuer

Upon the close of the acquisition of Es3 by the Company on July 19, 2005, we intended to use the public markets to secure additional working capital and to make acquisitions using either common stock or cash. A significant component of the intermediate term growth strategy was the acquisition and integration of companies in related building materials fields. However, with little or no investor interest in Es3 and its products we were unable to secure necessary working capital through the public market to develop a commercially viable market for our products.

On April 3, 2006, our Board of Director's approved a change of direction for the Company, from the business of manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and finishes, to the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and maintaining the assets of such operations. Pursuant to an agreement effective retroactively to October 1, 2005, we transferred all of the capital stock of Es3 that we acquired under the Exchange Agreement to Liquid Stone Partners ("Liquid Stone") in exchange for Liquid Stone assuming all known and unknown liabilities of Es3.

In furtherance of this change of direction, we entered into consulting agreements with third parties to provide business management services and advice as it relates to our future. As of December 31, 2007 the agreements were either completed or cancelled as the services, which were to include the drafting and preparation of business plans, operating budgets, cash flow projections and other business management services as we move into the oil and gas business, were not moving the company forward in its new direction.

The Company is in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company currently shares an office at 15851 Dallas Parkway, Suite 190, Addison, Texas 75001.  . As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no future rental commitments.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding and no such action by or, to the best of our knowledge, against us have been threatened.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. When used in this Form 10-KSB, the words "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions including the possibility that the Company's proposed plan of operation will fail to generate projected revenues. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.

General

On April 3, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a change of direction for the Company, from the business of manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and finishes, to the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and maintaining the assets of such operations. The Board of Directors believes that by changing the direction to the oil and gas markets we have improved our prospects for success due to both the current and expected future positive market conditions.  During 2007 and again in 2008 new Directors with extensive oil and gas experience were appointed and we believe that this experience will give the Company a better opportunity for success.

Results for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period January 27 to December 31, 2005

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had revenue of $12,239, vs. revenue of $0 during the year ended December 31, 2006.  Revenue was also $0 for the period January 27, to December 31, 2005.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss of $13,940,460 vs. a net operating loss of $37,121,584 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The net loss was $807,600 for the period January 27, to December 31, 2005.  The decrease in the loss in 2007 is attributable to the decrease in professional fees and expense related to prior consulting agreements of $13,091,316 and a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $15,107,569.This was partially off-set by writing-off prepaid consulting fees of $4,085,417 in December 2007.   Total operating expenses reduced significantly as the new officers and directors that were appointed have agreed to $0 compensation unlike the management team in 2006 that drove an increase in compensation accruals.  Plus the new management is relying on their own expertise in the oil business versus contracting consultants as the management team did in 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company had a net loss of $15,007,117 versus $36,906,584 for the year ended  December 31, 2006.  The change in other income is $1,066,657 due to the amortization of the deemed dividend during 2007.

Plan of Operation

 

In conjunction with our change of direction, in April 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with Summitt Oil and Gas, Inc. ("Summitt"), as well as other third parties, to provide business management services, and advice as it relates to the future of the company.  This service shall include the drafting and preparation of business plans, operating budgets, cash flow projections and other business management services as we venture into the oil and gas business.  In September 2007 and February 2008 new officers and directors were appointed who have extensive experience in the oil and gas industry and will rely on their own expertise to develop and grow the Company.


In April 2006 we executed an assignment of an oil and gas lease under which we acquired 100% of the leasehold  rights to drill and otherwise exploit 160 acres of certain underlying oil and gas  reserves located in the County of Custer, Oklahoma, which we acquired from Summitt for 677,000  restricted  shares of our common stock and agreed to pay Summitt a royalty equal to 3% of the value of all oil  produced and removed  under the lease and the net  proceeds  received by us from the sale of all gas and  casinghead  gasoline  produced  and sold under the lease.  The leasehold interest is not developed and accordingly not currently producing oil or gas. Upon receiving the necessary capitalization, we intend to explore the development of this field.  The shares were valued at $406,200.  The Company recorded the asset at the historical cost of $56,000 to the related party and recorded $350,200 as a deemed dividend to the related party.  As of December 31, 2006 the Company impaired the balance of the lease of $46,667.


In April 2006, we entered into a consulting agreement with BlueFin, Inc. ("BlueFin").  BlueFin was retained to provide business development, investor relations services, and introductions to qualified funding sources, introductions to oil and gas business prospects and introductions to accredited investors.  By leveraging BlueFin's resources the Company anticipated that it would be able to find sources of capital to fund its operations in the oil and gas business.  


In April 2006, we also entered into an agreement with Monterosa Group Limited ("Monterosa").  Monterosa was retained to provide services including operation administration, transaction processing and management, systems development, staff recruitment, acquisition transaction support services, and other business management services as the Company moves into the oil and gas business.


In April 2006, we also engaged Camden Holdings, Inc. ("Camden"), an entity experienced in the energy sector that will assist the Company in locating oil and gas opportunities.  Camden’s services include the drafting and preparation of business plans, operating budgets, cash flow

projections and other business management services as we venture into the oil and gas business.  We have also been able to leverage our relationship with Camden to obtain short-term financing as needed.  Camden has also agreed to advance sums to the Company to assist in funding its operations over the short-term.  In September 2007, the engagement of Camden ceased and as of December 31, 2007, the balance of advances by Camden to the Company was $164,742.  


In April 2006, we also engaged Design, Inc. ("Design"), an entity experienced in the energy sector that will assist the Company in financing the transactions introduced by Camden and our other consultants.


In July, 2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Catalyst Consulting Partners, LLC to provide the Company with business consulting services in exchange for the issuance of 518,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  These shares were issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.


In September, 2006, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Summitt Ventures Inc. ("SVI") for six months which required the Company to issue 2,700,000 of its common stock to SVI for services to be provided to the Company including business management services and related services.  These shares were issued in September, 2006.


In September, 2006, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with Rhone Alternative Marketing Partners ("RAMP) for marketing and public relations services in exchange for the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  These shares were issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.


During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company compensated certain third party individuals who provided services to the Company.  In August and September, 2006, 600,000 shares were issued for services.  In September, 2006, an additional 740,000 shares were issued to consultants for services under the Company's 2006-1 Consultants and Employees Services Plan.  This Plan was adopted in September, 2006 and reserved 3,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock to consultants and employees, which shares were registered in September, 2006.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, 3,799,000 shares were issued under the Plan.  


On October 19, 2007, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of restricted stock K&D Investments for oil properties in Throckmorton County, Texas (Walker-Buckler Trust 380-381).   The Company recorded the transaction at fair market value of $5,000,000 and on December 31, 2007, recorded impairment expense related to the property of $5,000,000 resulting a net capitalized amount of $0.

On October 29, 2007, the Company paid $30,000 to an individual for oil properties in Throckmorton County, Texas (Putnam M Well).   The Company recorded the transaction at fair market value of $30,000 and on December 31, 2007, recorded impairment expense related to the property of $30,000 resulting a net capitalized amount of $0.


We believe  that by changing  our  direction  to the oil and gas markets we have improved our prospects  for success due to both the current and expected  future positive  market  conditions  which we expect to exploit initially from the valuable contacts, industry expertise and business  opportunities we expect to derive from our officers and directors who have extensive oil and gas experience and contact.


We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months.  To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or private offerings of debt or equity securities.


We currently have no full-time employees.  We will primarily rely on our officers and directors to develop and grow the Company.

Risk Factors

Risks related to the Company

Need for additional financing.

 

We have a line-of-credit for $100,000 with a related party, and at December 31, 2007, the balance is $66,657.  This line-of-credit will not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations and continue operations through the end of 2008, and therefore we have an immediate need for capital.  Although our current strategy requires significantly less capital versus the strategy from the prior management team, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the sufficient short-term capital needed to sustain operations. The full and timely development and implementation of our business plan and growth strategy will require additional resources. We may not be able to obtain the working capital necessary to implement our growth strategy. Furthermore, our growth strategy may not produce material revenue even if successfully funded. Management intends to explore a number of options to secure alternative sources of capital, including the issuance of secured debt, volumetric production payments, subordinated debt, or additional equity, including preferred equity securities or other equity securities. We might not succeed, however, in raising additional equity capital or in negotiating and obtaining additional and acceptable financing when we need it. Our ability to obtain additional capital will also depend on market conditions, national and global economies and other factors beyond our control. Even if we are able to obtain the short-term capital necessary to sustain our operations, if adequate capital is not available or is not available on

5



acceptable terms at a time when we needed it, our ability to close acquisitions, execute our growth plans, develop or enhance our services or respond to competitive pressures will be significantly impaired. There are no assurances that we will be able to implement or capitalize on various financing alternatives or otherwise obtain required working capital, the need for which is substantial given our operating loss history.

We have a limited operating history.

 

 We are a development stage company with a limited operating history, and we face all the risks common to companies in their early stages of development, including undercapitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels and uncertain revenue streams, an unproven business model, and difficulties in managing growth. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business. Any forward-looking statements in this report do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these types of uncertainty. Since inception, we have incurred significant losses. No assurance can be given that we will be successful.

 

We may incur unforeseen costs and we may need to raise capital in addition to that required by our business plan.

 

We are currently operating at a loss and intend to increase our operating expenses significantly as we begin our acquisitions and oil and gas production. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen costs that could also require us to seek additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all. Any additional financing may result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders.


Maintaining any reserves and revenue we may acquire in the future depends on successful development and acquisitions.

 

In general, the volume of production from oil and natural gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Except to the extent we acquire properties containing proved reserves or conduct successful development activities, or both, our proved reserves that we may acquire will decline. Our future oil and natural gas production is, therefore, highly dependent upon our level of success in finding or acquiring additional reserves.

We are subject to substantial operating risks

 

 The oil and natural gas business involves certain operating hazards such as well blowouts, mechanical failures, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, hurricanes, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. We could suffer substantial losses as a result of any of these events. While we intend to carry general liability, control of well, and operator's extra expense coverage typical in our industry, we will not be fully insured against all risks incident to our business, such as acts of God.

We may not always be the operator of some of our wells. As a result, our operating risks for those wells and our ability to influence the operations for these wells will be less subject to our control. Operators of these wells may act in ways that are not in our best interests.

 

6



Our operations have significant capital requirements.

 

We expect to experience substantial working capital needs as we begin our active development and acquisition programs. Even if we are able to obtain the short-term capital necessary to maintain our operations, additional financing will be required in the future to fund our growth and operations. No assurances can be given as to the availability or terms of any such additional financing that may be required or that financing will continue to be available under new credit facilities. In the event such capital resources are not available to us, our drilling and other activities would be curtailed.

We may have difficulty managing future growth and the related demands on our resources and may have difficulty in achieving future growth.

We expect to experience rapid growth through acquisitions and development activity for the foreseeable future. Any future growth may place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources. Our ability to grow will depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to identify and acquire new development or acquisition prospects, our ability to develop existing properties, our ability to continue to retain and attract skilled personnel, hydrocarbon prices and access to capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in achieving growth or any other aspect of our business strategy.

We face strong competition from larger oil and natural gas companies.

Our competitors include major integrated oil and natural gas companies and numerous independent oil and natural gas companies, individuals and drilling and income programs. Many of our competitors are large, well-established companies with substantially larger operating staffs and greater capital resources than us. We may not be able to successfully conduct our operations, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment. Specifically, these larger competitors may be able to pay more for development projects and productive oil and natural gas properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, such companies may be able to expend greater resources on the existing and changing technologies that we believe are and will be increasingly important to attaining success in the industry.

Our acquisition program may be unsuccessful, particularly in light of our recent formation and limited history of acquisitions.

 

Although our personnel have had significant experience within the oil and gas industry, we may not be in as good a position as our more larger and better funded competitors to execute a successful acquisition program or close additional future transactions. The successful acquisition of producing properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities and other factors. Such assessments, even when performed by experienced personnel, are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. Our review of subject properties, which generally includes on-site inspections and the review of reports filed with various regulatory entities, will not reveal all existing or potential problems, deficiencies and capabilities. We may not always perform inspections on every well, and may not be able to observe structural and environmental problems even when we undertake an inspection. Even when problems are identified, the seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of such problems. There can be no assurances that any acquisition of property interests by us will be successful and, if unsuccessful, that such failure will not have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot market our production without the assistance of third parties.

The marketability of our production depends upon the proximity of our reserves to, and the capacity of, facilities and third party services, including oil and natural gas gathering systems, pipelines, trucking or terminal facilities, and processing facilities. The unavailability or lack of capacity of such services and facilities could result in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties. A shut-in or delay or discontinuance could adversely affect our financial condition. In addition, federal and state regulation of oil and natural gas production and transportation affect our ability to produce and market our oil and natural gas on a profitable basis.

Risks Relating to the Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and Gas Drilling, re-completions and re-working are speculative activities and involve numerous risks and substantial and uncertain costs.

Our growth will be materially dependent upon the success of our future drilling and development program. Drilling for oil and gas and re-working existing wells involve numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is substantial and uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors beyond our control, including unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or irregularities in formations, equipment failures or accidents, adverse weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs or crews and the delivery of equipment. Although we believe that our focus on re-developing existing oil and gas field and advanced drilling technology should increase the probability of success of our wells and should reduce average finding costs through elimination of prospects that might otherwise be drilled using other traditional methods, drilling or reworking remains a speculative activity. Even when fully utilized, lateral drilling does not predetermine if hydrocarbons will in fact be present in such structures if they are drilled.  Our future drilling activities may not be successful and, if unsuccessful, such failure will have an adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our overall drilling success rate or our drilling success rate for activity within a particular geographic area will not decline. Although we may discuss drilling prospects that we have identified or budgeted for, we may ultimately

7




not lease or drill these prospects within the expected time frame, or at all. We may identify and develop prospects through a number of methods, some of which do not include horizontal drilling. The drilling and results for these prospects may be particularly uncertain Our drilling schedule may vary from our capital budget. The final determination with respect to the drilling of any scheduled or budgeted wells will be dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the results of previous development efforts and the acquisition, review and analysis of data; (ii) the availability of sufficient capital resources to us and the other participants for the drilling of the prospects;
(iii) the approval of the prospects by other participants after additional data has been compiled; (iv) economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, including prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and natural gas and the availability of drilling rigs and crews; (v) our financial resources and results; (vi) the availability of leases and permits on reasonable terms for the prospects; and (vii) the success of our drilling technology. There can be no assurance that these projects can be successfully developed or that the wells discussed will, if drilled, encounter reservoirs of commercially productive oil or natural gas. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves, including many factors beyond our control.

Reliance on technological development and possible technological obsolescence.

Our business is dependent upon utilization of changing technology. As a result, our ability to adapt to evolving technologies, obtain new technology and maintain technological advantages will be important to our future success. We believe that our ability to utilize state of the art technologies will give us an advantage over many of our competitors. This advantage, however, is based in part upon technologies developed by others, and we may not be able to maintain this advantage. As new technologies develop, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force us to implement such new technologies at substantial cost. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully utilize, or expend the financial resources necessary to acquire, new technology, or that others will not either achieve technological expertise comparable to or exceeding that of our Company or that others will not implement new technologies before us. One or more of the technologies we end up adopting or implementing may, in the future, become obsolete. In such case, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If we are unable to utilize the most advanced commercially available technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Oil and natural gas prices are highly volatile in general and low prices negatively affect our financial results.

 

Our revenue, profitability, cash flow, future growth and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital, as well as the carrying value of our properties, are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Lower oil and natural gas prices also may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile, and such markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to wide fluctuation in  response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include the level of consumer product demand, weather conditions, domestic and foreign governmental regulations, the price and availability of alternative fuels, political conditions, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the price of foreign imports and overall economic conditions It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to finance planned capital expenditures and results of operations.

Government regulation and liability for environmental matters may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local government regulations, which may be changed from time to time. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and natural gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and natural gas. There are federal, state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment applicable to the development, production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and natural gas, by-products thereof and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with  oil and natural gas operations. In addition, we may be liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property we purchase or lease As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities. We are also subject to changing and extensive tax laws, the effects of which cannot be predicted. The implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.

Risks Associated with Our Stock

Our stock price has been and may continue to be very volatile.

Our common stock is thinly traded and the market price has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. During the 12 months prior to December 31, 2007, our stock price as traded on the OTC Bulletin Board has ranged from $0.20 to $0.07.  The variance in our share price makes it extremely difficult to forecast with any certainty the stock price at which you may be able to buy or sell shares of our common stock. The market price for our  common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations due to factors beyond our control, such as: actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations, naked short selling of our common stock and stock price manipulation, changes or fluctuations in  the commodity prices of oil and natural gas, general conditions and trends in the oil and gas industry, general economic, political and market conditions.

Use of our common stock to pay for third party services could dilute current investors.

 

In the past we have used our common stock to pay for the services of third party consultants.  Due to the experience of our current investors we do not anticipate having to use third party consultants to execute our growth strategy.  However, unforeseen circumstances may arise where third party services are required and common stock may be used to pay for said services.  As of February 28, 2008,  we have issued 33,335,000 shares  of our common stock to said consultants. Further issuances in exchange for such services will dilute current investors. Future sales of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market that are not currently freely tradable, or even the potential for these sales, could have an adverse effect on the market price for the shares of our common stock. These shares include approximately 28.2 million shares held by founders, investors and service providers, and 1,800,000 warrants at February 28, 2007. Unregistered shares may not be sold except in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, or some other exemption from registration. Rule 144 does not prohibit the sale of these shares but does place conditions and restrictions on their resale, which must be complied with before they can be resold.

A summary of the warrant activity for the period ended December 31, 2007 is as follows:

During the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not grant any warrants.

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could limit our ability to raise capital.

 

 Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144, upon exercise or conversion of derivative securities or otherwise, or even the potential of these sales, could also affect our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities.

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future.

 

Present management and directors may control the election of our directors and all other matters submitted to the stockholders for approval.

 Our executive officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 0.0% of our outstanding common stock. K&D Equity Investments is our single largest shareholder owning 37.67% of our common stock.  Summitt Oil Inc, holds 31.43% of our  common stock and is our second largest shareholder. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

"Penny stock" regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of securities.

 

The SEC adopted regulations, which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock may be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities and have received the purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction.

Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.

The market for our Company's securities is limited and may not provide adequate liquidity.

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"), a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our securities than if the securities were traded on the Nasdaq Stock market, or another national exchange. There are a limited number of active market makers of our common stock. In order to trade shares of our common stock you must use one of these market makers unless you trade your shares in a private transaction. In the twelve months prior to December 31, 2007, the actual trading volume ranged from a low of no shares of common stock to a high of 154,400 shares of common stock. On most days, this trading volume means there is limited liquidity in our shares of common stock. Selling our shares is more difficult because smaller quantities of shares are bought and sold and news media coverage about us is limited. These factors result in a limited trading market for our common stock and therefore holders of our Company's stock may be unable to sell shares  purchased should they desire to do so.

Item 7. Financial Statements.

The report of independent auditors and financial statements are set forth in this report beginning on Page F-1.

 

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the relevant period.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period ended December 31, 2007 (the "Evaluation Date"). During the course of the audit for our year ended December 31, 2005 in May, 2006, our auditor discovered numerous errors in our financial statements in our financial statements in our quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2005 as disclosed in our Form 8-K/A filed on June 14, 2006. As a result of these errors, and others, we restated our  Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and will restate the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2005, in our Form 8-K/A filed on January 24, 2006. Our conclusion to restate our Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and Form 8-K/A filed on January 24, 2006, resulted in the Company recognizing that its controls and procedures were not effective as of the period ended December 31, 2005 and constituted material weaknesses which began after the close of the Exchange Agreement on or about July 16, 2005. The material weaknesses were primarily the result of our having no controller and no qualified personnel and as a result, transactions were omitted, recorded incorrectly, or recorded without support.  

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls  

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of any entity achieving its disclosure objectives. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as the fiscal year ended  December 31, 2005 and the Company has since implemented disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the Company has the proper disclosure controls and procedures to keep this from happening again. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors or mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established process.  

 

In May, 2006, we remediated the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting by having our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer review in detail all adjustments affecting the issuances of our securities and we retained an outside consultant to make accounting entries.

After such filing, Boston Equities Corporation converted the case from chapter 7 to chapter 11.

Stock Option Plan

The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan for non-employee directors on October 1, 1998. We have not awarded any options under this Plan. No director receives or accrues any compensation for his services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

On April 3, 2006, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan effective April 3, 2006 (the "2006 Stock Option Plan").

The 2006 Stock Option Plan is administered by the duly appointed compensation committee. Our compensation committed consists of Rosamaria DeSimone, a consultant to the Company, and Brian Harcourt. The 2006 Stock Option Plan provides authorization to grant stock options of up to 2,500,000 shares. At the time a stock option is granted under the Stock Option Plan, the compensation committee shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of common stock of the Company may be acquired and vesting period thereof.

In the event an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company for reasons other than cause, retirement, disability or death, any stock option that is vested and held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such 90-day period any unexercised stock option shall expire. In the event an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company for reasons of retirement, disability or death, any stock option that is vested and held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to one-year after the effective date that his position ceases, and after such one-year period any unexercised stock option shall expire.

No stock options granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the optionee, and each stock option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of ten (10) years or limitations described above. Any stock  option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer period as the compensation committee may determine.

Upon exercise of the options, the optionee will deliver consideration in the amount of the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares to be issued as a result of the exercise; provided, however, the compensation committee reserves, at any and all times, the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of stock options by means of a cashless exercise.

Compensation of Directors

Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meeting of the Board of Directors.

We have no written employment agreements with our directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from January 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2007 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards required that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from January 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had accumulated deficit of $53,071,501 as of December 31, 2007 and net losses of $15,007,117 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

As stated in Note 9, the Financial  Statements  for the year ended December 31, 2006 were restated.

BRIGHTON OIL & GAS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Organization and General Description of Business

Brighton Oil & Gas, Inc. (“We” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado, on July 6, 2005. On July 19, 2005, the Company, completed the acquisition of Special Stone Surfaces, Es3, Inc., a Nevada Corporation ("Es3") pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") by and among the Company, Crown Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation and at such time, the largest stockholder of the Company ("Crown Partners"), Es3, and certain stockholders of Es3 (the "Es3 Stockholders"). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Es3 in exchange for the issuance of 19,182,759 shares of the Company's common stock to the Es3 Stockholders, Crown Partners and certain consultants The transactions effected by the Exchange Agreement have been accounted for as a reverse merger. This reverse merger transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Es3, as Es3 is the accounting acquirer, effective July 19, 2005. As a result, the historical equity of the Company has been restated on a basis consistent with the recapitalization. In addition, the Company changed its accounting year-end from September 30 to December 31, which is Es3's accounting year-end.

Accordingly the financial statements contained in report include the operations of the Company in its new line of business. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Company had one active operating subsidiary--Es3. Es3 was formed in January 2005 and began operations in March 2005 in the business of manufacturing and distributing a range of decorative stone veneers and finishes based on proprietary Liquid Stone Coatings(TM) and Authentic Stone Veneers(TM).   Effective October 1, 2005, the Company sold all of its shares in Es3.

On April 3, 2006 the Board of Directors approved a change of direction for the Company, from the business of Manufacturing and distributing decorative stone veneers and finishes, to the business of oil and gas exploration and production, mineral lease purchasing and all activities associated with acquiring, operating and maintaining the assets of such operations.

B. Basis of Presentation and Organization

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the periods January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and from January 27, 2005 (Inception) through December 31, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Es3, through October 1, 2005 (the effective date of disposition). All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

C. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues  and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined.

BRIGHTON OIL & GAS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007

D. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

E. Long-Lived Assets & Impairment on oil lease investments

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.

Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the investment in Custer oil & well lease of $56,000 was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $46,667.  

During the year ended Decemer 31, 2007, the Company had acquired two oil & well gas leases in two separate transactions. One lease was acquired for cash consideration of $30,000 and the other lease was acquired in exchange of 50,000,000 (pre reverse split) shares. The lease was valued at the fair market value of the shares which was $5,000,000.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company estimated the future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the two oil & well gas leases. Based on its review, the Company determined that the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable and hence the leases were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2007. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $5,030,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

F. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

G. Technology License and Royalties

The Company's former principal business activity focused on the commercialization of distributing decorative coatings that can be used to resemble stone, which the Company licensed from related parties. Minimum annual royalties for these arrangements were accrued in 2005 on the Company's balance sheet till disposal of the subsidiary.

The Company’s current principal activity focuses on oil and gas exploration.  During 2007 the Company acquired the rights to drill and otherwise exploit certain underlying reserves and agreed to pay a royalty ranging from 17.7% to 21.8% on the value of the oil removed or produced and on the net proceeds from all gas sold The royalty is being deducted by the operator and therefore there are no applicable royalty accruals on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2007.  During 2006 the Company acquired the rights to drill and otherwise exploit certain underlying reserves and agreed to pay a 3% royalty on the value of the oil removed or produced and on the net proceeds from all gas sold.  To date there are no applicable accruals on the Company’s balance sheet as there has been no production or proceeds related to the acquired rights.

H. Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which requires the measurement of all employee share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value-based method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. The Company has adopted SFAS 123R and related FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) as of January 01, 2006 and will recognize stock-based compensation expense using the modified prospective method.

BRIGHTON OIL & GAS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007

I. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes using the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductible or taxable amounts and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of timing differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities for book and tax purposes during the year.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established to reduce that deferred tax asset if it is "more likely than not" that the related tax benefits will not be realized.

J. Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (loss) per Share

The Company  adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings or losses of the entity. For the periods January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and from inception through December 31, 2007, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.

K. Development Stage Enterprise

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No.7. The Company‘s planned principal operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, insignificant revenue has been derived during this period.

L. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.


In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:

a.

 A brief description of the provisions of this Statement

b.

 The date that adoption is required

c.

 The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.

 

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.

The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.


In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. 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, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

M. Reclassifications

 

For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.


2. Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported an accumulated deficit of $53,071,501 and had a stockholder’s deficit of $7,689,956 at December 31, 2007.

In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital.  At December 31, 2007, the Company had limited operations. In view of the matters described, there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without a significant infusion of capital. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in implementing its plans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We anticipate that we will have to raise additional capital to fund operations over the next 12 months.  To the extent that we are required to raise additional funds to acquire properties, and to cover costs of operations, we intend to do so through additional public or private offerings of debt or equity securities.  There are no  commitments  or arrangements  for  other  offerings  in  place,  no  guaranties  that  any  such financings would be forthcoming,  or as to the terms of any such financings. Any future financing may involve substantial dilution to existing investors.  We had been relying on our common stock to pay third parties for services which has resulted substantial dilution to existing investors.

3. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.   Current year and accumulated deferred tax benefit at the effective Federal income tax rate of 34% is $17,650,659,and $12,548,239 respectively and a valuation allowance has been set up for the full amount because of the unlikelihood that the accumulated deferred tax benefit will be realized in the future.

 

At December 31, 2007, the Company had available federal and state net operating loss carryforwards amounting to approximately $53,071,501  that are available to offset future federal and state taxable income and that expire in various periods through 2027 for federal tax purposes and 2014 for state tax purposes.  No benefit has been recorded for the loss carryforwards, and utilization in future years may be limited under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code if significant ownership changes have occurred or from future tax legislation changes


The following table sets forth the significant components of the net deferred tax assets for operation in the US as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
