PART I


Item 1.

Description of Business.


Our History


We were formed as a Nevada corporation on March 19, 2001; originally under the name of Sun Vacation Club Inc. on November 21, 2002 the name was changed to United Athletes, Inc. On February 8, 2005, after a reverse merger with S2C Global Systems Inc. (a private British Columbia corporation) we changed our name to S2C Global Systems, Inc. with the intent to focus on developing, marketing and distributing their 5-gallon bottled water vending and loading systems.  S2C Global Systems (S2C-Private) the private company was incorporated May 2004 after acquiring the intellectual property rights from Will Benedikt et al for his early version of the 5-gallon vending system. S2C-Private continued with the development of the system and market preparation with the Company assuming this role in February, 2005. S2C has generated minimal sales or revenues and only from its initial market tests.


S2C designs, manufactures, promotes and markets distribution/logistics systems for pre-packaged 5-gallon bottled water. S2C promotes itself through its website at www.s2cglobal.com and a series of corporate/retail packages available through the Company. The Company has established a specific mechanical system, the “Aquaduct System”, related to the operation and promotion of pre-packaged water.  Currently, S2C is in the final development stages to bring its distribution/logistic system to market.


The Company installed the second generation prototype of the Aquaduct for testing in Verona, Ontario, Canada in 2005. At the same time it had the second prototype of the same design reverse engineered for the purpose of mass production and concluded the design was not efficient for mass production. The Company completed engineering/design on a third revision March 2007. The current design incorporates off the shelf components and is modular in order to facilitate global procurement and assembly. The units developed in 2007 were market tested throughout 2007 with all changes incorporated into final drawings for procurement and additional patents going forward.


The Company installed the unit tested in Verona into Montreal (Laval) in the last quarter of 2006 this original prototype is unreliable and costly to keep operational, it will be replaced upon mass production ensuing. The two units developed as the third revision were installed in Vancouver (Surrey and Richmond BC.  All three units experienced light sales resulting in the income reported.  The company originally launched its concept by accepting only its proprietary bottles in its return function, after turning away hundreds of customers as of November 2007 the company reprogrammed its Vancouver Aquaducts to accept all 18.9 Litre bottles for return.  


The truck and in-plant components of the Aquaduct system utilize the same technologies as those incorporated in the Aquaduct vending unit; they have been designed and will be built upon confirmation of the last of 10 working Aquaducts in any of the aforementioned Markets.


The Company accumulated a deficit in excess of $3,100,000 in developing the Company to this point. The Company expects to develop an assembly plant in Dallas Texas and focus on placing the S2C Aquaducts into the Houston market. This will require a minimum investment of $900,000 dollars to complete this next phase.

 

The S2C System


In an attempt to address the growing market for bottled water and to capitalize on the low labor costs of vending, S2C has developed a proprietary product delivery system.  S2C designs, develops and distributes mechanical systems, including vending systems that automate the distribution from suppliers to consumers of bulk food products.  Bulk food products include items sold in larger quantities up to 5 gallons (18 litres) and/or 47 pounds (22.3 Kg).  Any product that is capable of being packaged in a cylindrical container, typically liquid or granular in nature can be delivered via the S2C System.  Water is the first consumer product the Company is promoting it will be supplied to the Aquaducts through existing packagers/distributors of 5-gallon water.



3



The S2C Aquaduct is a modular vending unit capable of accepting empty 5-gallon recyclable plastic jugs and distributing full 5-gallon recyclable plastic jugs.  The Aquaduct is intended to act as a replacement to in store retail distribution systems.  Most grocery store chains in North American sell 5-gallon bottled water.  The Aquaduct is intended to be a replacement system for those systems currently in place.


Current systems employed by producers, distributors and retailers of 5-gallon bottled water are labor intensive. Staff unload/load 5-gallon bottled water from the production line to warehousing, from warehousing to trucks, from trucks to transfer stations, from transfer stations to smaller trucks from these trucks to the home, offices and retailers. The retailers then unload the trucks to storage from storage to the store floor, from the store floor to customer’s cars. The returned empty bottles go through a reverse cycle of that previously described. Bottles are moved using a combination of fork lift operators, laborers and drivers. The S2C System eliminates all of the labor involved except for the truck driver; the number of drivers is reduced overall because of just in time inventory management, the Aquaducts storage capabilities and better logistics. The labor is not needed with the S2C System because machines move the bottles through the Aquaduct racking system, into the trucks and eventually into the Aquaducts.


The S2C System is a three part system comprised of:  (1) an in plant system that takes the prepackaged goods from the line into an integrated storage/loading system; (2) an integrated truck storage/loading system; and (3) a retail vending unit. The vending unit sits in an accessible parking lot where an individual can drive up in their car, stop in front of the unit, retrieve their empty 5-gallon water jug if they have one, touch the ATM/POS Screen, select the transaction they want i.e. return or no return, swipe their bank card, enter their pin, place the return bottle in the return door, retrieve the full bottle, put it in the car and drive away. The truck system has a drop down over and under conveyor that hooks up at the plant or Aquaduct loading door on one end and to the continuous loop racking system in the truck. Full bottles push empty bottles either out of the Aquaduct or out of the truck. The Plant system runs from the production line through the continuous loop racking system all the way to the loading doors using a system of conveyors.

 

S2C owns the technology for the S2C System and intends to generate revenue by selling the consumer product to the end user and licensing its technologies.  S2C does not intend to operate any manufacturing facilities but rather intends to subcontract or joint venture with existing manufacturing companies or assembly companies.  S2C obtained the rights to the original patent application with the United States Patent Office for its proprietary S2C System and will continue to secure additional patents, copyrights and trademarks as they are made available.


Governmental Regulation


S2C may be affected by jurisdictional regulators in regards to the following:


1.

Financial transaction equipment – the Point of Sale (POS) equipment in order to offer credit card, debit card and prepaid cash card payment options. Bank and financial regulators establish protocols for electronic funds transfer, equipment used in the transfer process must be certified by the provider of the transfer network.  This can affect the cost of each vending unit, operating costs and delays in supply.


2.

Vending equipment licenses – typically vending equipment is licensed at the state or municipal level and regulated through zoning bylaws as to where the equipment can and cannot be installed.  This will limit availability as to where S2C can install its equipment and may limit access to certain markets.


3.

Food handling regulation – a variety of governmental regulations govern food safety and handling.  For S2C, the prime concern is safe storage of the products it intends to sell in the vending system.  Each of the vending units must be tamper proof and climate controlled to insure safe distribution.


4.

Transportation regulation – various regulations dictate the size of shipments on public highways.  S2C’s Aquaduct vending unit has been designed to comply with North American transport regulation with regard to size and weight so they may be freely shipped to market without restriction.



4



5.

Electrical and mechanical product standards – a variety of public safety departments dictate electrical and mechanical standards to ensure product safety.  Safety underwritings such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) are required on some components used in the Aquaduct. The Company intends to use UL/CSA approved components where required. Where underwriter’s labels are absent or additional inspection is required under local jurisdiction the appropriate approvals will be obtained prior to installation. The Company’s inability to obtain an underwriting or certification from a required laboratory or association will limit the ability to place the S2C Systems in the market.  The Aquaduct currently has electrical certification from the Electrical Safety Authority, a body responsible for public electrical safety in Ontario, Canada.


Competition


The Company’s research indicates there are no existing automated vending systems in existence for pre-packaged 5-gallon bottled water; however there are several vending systems for u-fill bulk bottled water. These include Glacier Water (AMEX-HOO) and Culligan.


The existing distribution system used by Danone Waters of North America is similar to that used by most bottler/distributors it consists of bottle handling robots, fork lifts, pallet /racking systems, warehousing, freight trucks, transfer stations, delivery trucks and in store racking. The existing in plant systems require significant capital to setup, manpower to operate, and other significant operating costs such as fuel. S2C’s Aquaduct system can eliminate the cost of the fork lifts and operators, robots, pallets/racking, delivery trucks and operators and the transfer stations. Estimates by S2C’s management put the distribution costs under the Aquaduct system as much as 65% lower than the existing distribution costs.


Currently, 5-gallon pre-packaged bottle water is available at grocery stores, big box stores, and gas stations in racks, the customer buying the water has to carry his empty bottle through the store to the customer service counter to get a credit note, pick up a new bottle in the store and carry the 42 pound bottle back to his car, the Aquaduct system sits in a single parking stall, at any of these locations or a variety of others where consumers can drive right up to the machine offering a competitive level of convenience.  The Aquaducts ability to compete for these locations will come down to having the space for the Aquaduct and the drive up convenience for loading and unloading.


Employees


S2C’s employees are its President, Roderick Bartlett, its Chief Financial Officer, Harold Forzley, an office administrator and an Operations Manager.  As required, the Company hires independent contractors or out sources to appropriate companies.

Item 6.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-KSB. Descriptions of all documents incorporated by reference herein or included as exhibits hereto are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents so incorporated or referenced. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those under “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” and elsewhere in this report.


Executive Summary and Outlook for Fiscal Year 2008


S2C Global’s 2007 year was focused on completing our development stage, while 2008 is set as our transition year where S2C becomes a fully operating company based out of Dallas Texas.



6



Product Development:  We identify the three components of the S2C Global Aquaduct System as follows: the retail vending system, the wholesaler’s in-truck delivery system, and the producer’s in-plant live racking system.  


During 2007 we prepared for the 2008 roll out of the S2C Aquaduct System by developing our retail vending system for cost effective mass production and installation intended for a variety of venues. This process included beta testing two units in Vancouver, BC to identify design, service and consumer issues.


The results from 2007 are a more compact, simpler version of the S2C Aquaduct. This version has a smaller footprint 4’ X 14’ (old 8.6’X16’) with two lanes versus the original three lane design. One lane to dispense 5 Gallon (18.9 L), the other to dispense 2.5 Gallon (9 L) pre-packaged bottled water.  At this size 6 units will fit in a container or on a truck and are easily unloaded with a HIAB drastically reducing shipping and installation costs by thousands of dollars. These smaller units carry 180 bottles versus the 192 bottles the larger units held. When a location demonstrates excessive demand on one unit a second unit can be installed beside it or in the immediate area to double up the capacity. Servicing the 2 lane unit is extremely easy compared to the issues of servicing the inside lane of a 3 lane unit.


The human interface is now a Point of Sale (POS) interface (similar to a gas pump or parking lot ticket dispenser) that directs a Vending Machine Controller (VMC). For the US market we have completed negotiations with Verizon wireless resulting in little or no cost for our wireless modems and significantly reduced data charges. The resulting cost reductions bring the S2C Aquaduct well within the original costing model of $25,000 US dollars per installed unit. The design is better suited to the broader small format real estate location (gas bars, community shopping centers) giving S2C Global a more versatile roll out strategy, including overseas markets.


Reducing costs and environmental impact are the goals of the supplier to consumer (S2C) system, the closer the finished product is to the consumer the more effective the system becomes. S2C has continued to work with Convergitech, Inc. a company focused on water technologies. Starting with Houston, TX they have agreed to build micro-bottling plants at the center of twenty to forty S2C Aquaducts. Each plant will provide pure bottled water from the air in both the 2.5 and 5 gallon formats utilizing the S2C plant and truck system.  


Sales & Marketing:


System Distribution. Rather than sell the Aquaduct system outright, we elected to disseminate our equipment at our own expense. This approach gives us ownership of the residual earnings rather than a one time sale. Securing locations for lease in retail shopping centre parking lots is critical to this process. Building relationships with national and regional property managers gives us an ongoing supply of locations. The fourth quarter of 2007 was dedicated to this process resulting in one lease being secured in Houston, TX 1st quarter 2008.  


Since our consumer tests we are concentrating our efforts on one market at a time starting with Houston, TX after identifying the Houston-Dallas and San Diego-San Francisco corridors as significant markets for our business. We signed our first lease in The Woodlands (Greater Houston, Texas) with TMJ Properties a regional property management firm. Centro Properties has supplied us with a list of properties for the Houston Market and lease terms have been negotiated to go forward. Weingarten Realty Investors has identified several qualifying properties for the Company to install additional S2C Aquaducts once our first installation in Houston is complete to their satisfaction.


The four machines that were built through the Company’s development stage are currently located in Montreal, QC (1), Vancouver, BC (2) and Houston, TX (1) representing over three-hundred thousand dollars of the Company’s assets and its technology.  In the process of consolidating efforts the Montreal machine and eventually the Vancouver machines will all be relocated into the Texas marketplace.

Water Sales Overall sales of bottled water as reported by the International Bottled Water Association and Beverage Marketing Corporation continued to grow through 2007, total bottled water volume was 8.8 billion gallons, a 6.9 percent increase over 2006, and the 2007 bottled water per capita consumption of 29.3 gallons increased nearly two gallons, from 27.6 gallons per capita the previous year.  Additionally, the wholesale dollar sales for bottled water exceeded $11.7 billion in 2007, a 7.8 percent increase over the $10.8 billion in 2006. 1 Half of these volumes typically as reported by Nestle’s and E-zine2 are in the bulk categories (2.5 and 5 gallon).


Corporate Sales. “The bottled water industry is under increased scrutiny for a number of its practices. Something so seemingly healthy is the antithesis of “green.” The bottling process is very inefficient: Nestlé, for example, reports that it requires 1.86 liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water. The landfill of plastic bottles—more than 75% of bottles are never recycled—has environmentalists up in arms. The fuel usage and emissions that arise from trucking so many billions of gallons of water around the country (and shipping water around the world) has a negative environmental impact. Finally, communities that have aquifers (underground sources of water) find large water companies moving into their towns to pump and sell their water.”3  The S2C AquaDuct system addresses all of the environmental impact issues stated above and after completing a first stage roll out in Houston will be in a position to aggressively secure Corporate sales.  To accelerate product distribution the Company intends to form joint ventures with established partners.  In the United States non-disclosures have been signed and financial plans discussed with “O Premium Waters” of Mesa, Arizona the largest bottler in the state and Aqua Pure Bottled Water, Inc. in conjunction with Automatic Vending Services Inc of Asheboro, North Carolina.


Investor Relations.  The Company now has 68,337,707 shares issued and outstanding of which Twenty–Five ( 25,488,862) Million are on deposit and free trading.

Forty to Fifty Thousand shares typically trade daily in the three to four cent range providing the Company with a market capitalization of two and half (2.5) million dollars.  


The corporate relations team keeps in close contact with the known shareholders with regular frequency, keeping them informed about the progress of the company. Informational press releases are disseminated through wire services in a timely manner and the website is constantly updated to present as much information about the company as is practical. No investor relations firms are currently under contract or contemplated rather the Company is now focusing its efforts on broker by broker relationships throughout the United States.


Finance and Administration. The Company has continued to keep its overhead costs to a minimum while it looks to finalize a funding that will take it through to its operating status.


As part of establishing the Company as an Operating Company the Company has identified that its markets will be best served from the United States. In preparation of moving the operations to the United States the Company’s management reviewed several American cities with the view of establishing its own assembly plant and its new head-office. The Dallas-Fort Worth area was identified as the optimum location to achieve the most cost effective dissemination of the AquaDuct system. As part of this process a new Chief Financial Officer is being sought that is US based and several candidates are under review.


Conclusion. The Company is at the transition point of going from a development stage company to an operating stage company. The Company has created opportunities both domestically and internationally that will establish S2C Global as a leader in retail technologies specifically as they relate to bottled water.

Consolidated Results of Operations


Total Revenues. Total revenues increased to $988 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 from $-0-in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.


Cost of Revenues. The Cost of Revenues increased to $196 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $-0- for 2006.


Total Operating Expenses


General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for our executive, administrative, finance and management personnel, as well as support services and professional service fees. These expenses increased from $723,927 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $1,143,583 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily was driven by increased management  and consulting expense, increased repairs and maintenance and increased wages and benefits.


Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues did not change significantly in the fiscal 2007.

Loss from Operations


Total Loss from Operations. Our loss from operations was $879,217 in fiscal 2007 while our loss from operations was $712,729 in fiscal 2006.


Income Tax Benefit (Expense)


As of December 31, 2007 we had loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,185,000 due to the taxable losses generated to that date.  Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of applying these deductions to taxable income, have not been recognized in the Financial Statements.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We have financed our operations to date primarily through the sale of equity and debt securities as we generated negative cash flow from operations prior to fiscal 2006 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. Our principal liabilities at December 31, 2007 consisted of accounts payable, loans payable, demand promissory notes and convertible promissory notes.


Net cash used in operating activities was ($438,342) in fiscal 2007 compared with net cash used in operating activities of ($278,687) in fiscal 2006.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $362,985 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 compared with $523,695 of cash provided by financing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The cash provided by financing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was due to $65,087 from a loan, ($61,892) from loans payable and demand promissory notes repaid and $520,500 from the sale of shares. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, financing activities raised $15,000 from convertible notes issued, $5,400 from loan payable, and $188,965 from the sale of shares.


We expect our future liquidity position to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months to be met by raising capital. Since the cash generated from our operations is insufficient to satisfy our cash needs, we are required to raise additional capital. Because we will raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Furthermore, additional financing may not be available when we need it or, if available, financing may not be on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. If financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services. In addition, we may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 8A(T). Controls and Procedures.  


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  Our management, with the participation of our President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.



12



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional limitations.  Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties.  Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Company’s operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control.  Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.


Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.


Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies.  (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as its President initiates, authorizes, and completes all transactions.  The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the President from overriding the internal control system.  The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the President is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports.  In addition, the Company engaged a financial consultant to review all financial transactions to determine that they have been properly recorded in the financial statements. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.  The Company does not think that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Company has implemented a series of manual checks and balances to verify that previous reporting periods have not been improperly modified and that no unauthorized entries have been made in the current reporting period.


Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is reliable.

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


In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and cumulative from incorporation on May 6, 2004 to December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has no permanently established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations.  These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.

Nature of Operations


The Company was organized by filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on March 19, 2001 as Sun Vacation Club, Inc.  There were no operations as Sun Vacation Club, Inc. and on December 4, 2002 the company changed its name to United Athletes, Inc.  Although numerous attempts were made to find funding for the Company substantial enough to support operations, in late 2003 management decided to suspend operations and discontinue attempts to raise equity capital. Effective February 2, 2005, the Company changed its name to S2C Global Systems, Inc.


S2C Global Systems Inc., a private company, was incorporated on May 6, 2004 in the Province of British Columbia under certificate BC0694405.  The main business is the development, manufacture, and marketing of a water dispensing and recycling system for sales in Canada.


S2C Global Systems USA, Inc., a private company, was incorporated on November 27, 2006 in the State of Nevada.  The main business is the marketing of the Company’s water dispensing and recycling system for sales in the USA.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern; accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustment that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and retire its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and/or upon obtaining additional financing. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.


The Company has historically maintained its ability to finance its operation through attracting private investment. The Company believes it can continue to raise the necessary capital for operational growth from private individuals and corporations known to the Company. The Company further intends on utilizing whatever rights it may have to do a public offering of its common stock to raise additional funds for market expansion. The Company’s plans also include the dissemination of its Aquaduct product that will generate revenue by selling 5-gallon bottled water for profit. The Aquaduct product will be primarily financed through a lease financing program.

Significant Accounting Policies


a)

Development stage company


The Company is considered to be in the Development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.   


b)

Principles of consolidation


These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, S2C Global Systems Inc., a British Columbia, Canada corporation, and S2C Global Systems USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


c)

Research and development


In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 2 the Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred.   


d)

Equipment


Equipment is recorded at historical cost and amortized at the following annual rates:


Computer equipment

45%

Bottles

20%

Vending equipment

10%


Additions during the year are amortized at one half their normal rate, and no amortization is taken in the year of disposal.  


e)

Foreign currency translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar.  Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at period end exchange rates; other assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates prevailing at the date of transaction. Revenue and expense items, except for amortization, are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year.  Amortization is converted using rates prevailing at dates of acquisition. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are included in the statement of operations.


f)

Basic and diluted loss per share


Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.  


Basic loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.


g)

Financial instruments


All significant financial assets, financial liabilities, and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


h)

Income taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting.  A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.  The adoption of FIN 48 has not had any effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


i)

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


j)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123 (R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.”). SFAS 123 (R) supersedes the Company's previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") for the periods beginning fiscal 2006.

All stock-based awards are measured and recognized using the fair-value method as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Awards that the Company has the ability to settle with stock are recorded as equity, whereas awards that the Company is required to settle or has the practice of settling in cash are recorded as liabilities.  Compensation expense is recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting period.

Awards of common shares are recorded at fair value as determined by the trading price at the date of the agreement to issue shares.


k)

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those reported.

l)

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when title and risk of ownership have passed, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Generally for sales of bottled water this will be at the point of sale as all sales are final, there is no right of return, and sales are for cash.

At December 31, 2007, the Company has issued three promissory notes which are due to a company controlled by the Company’s president and chief executive officer.  All are due on demand, with interest at 12% per annum totalling $25,077.  The amount reported includes accrued interest.

As the market price of the shares was less than the conversion price on the issue date of the convertible note, no value was allocated to the conversion feature.


b)

On August 21, 2006, the Company issued one unsecured convertible promissory note for $10,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and was originally due on August 21, 2007 which has been extended to August 21, 2008.   The note is now convertible on or before August 21, 2008 into units of the Company with each unit consisting of one common share at $0.15 per share and a one year share purchase warrant with an exercise price of $0.30. As the market price of the shares was less than the conversion price on the issue date of the convertible note, no value was allocated to the conversion feature.


c)

During the period ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued one unsecured convertible promissory note for US$45,000.  Prior to December 31, 2005 the note was convertible at a rate of one common share for each US$0.01 of principal and accrued interest; however on November 8, 2005 the conversion term was changed to US$0.10 of principal and accrued interest, this option was not exercised. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and was due on December 31, 2006. As the market price of the shares was less than the conversion price on the date of the amendment no value was allocated to the conversion feature. During the current year, $38,974 of the note was converted into common shares with the balance of $6,026 converted in January 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands fair value disclosures. The standard does not require any new fair value measurements. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheet.  SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


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”), changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
