NEXIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008
(Unaudited)


 
 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Nexia Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

NOTE 2 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FASB Interpretation No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (FAS 159) - In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159. FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of FAS 159 become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on our future financial statements, if we elect to adopt it.

FASB Statement No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders’ equity. Statement No. 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be accounted for as equity transactions.  Further, the Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  We are currently assessing the impact of adopting FAS 160 on our results of operations and financial condition.

FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures stating how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  FAS 161 also encourages but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of FAS 161 will have an impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative losses from operations through September 30, 2008 of $28,881,804, has a working capital deficit of $1,915,510 and a stockholders’ deficit of $7,922,199 at September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company has defaulted on several of its liabilities, has closed three retail clothing stores, and has entered into an agreement to sell one of its commercial real estate properties. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Primarily, revenues have not been sufficient to cover the Company’s operating costs. Management’s plans to enable the Company to continue as a going concern include the following:

Purchase of revenue producing residential properties
Increase retail sales of existing Landis Salons, Inc. and Style Perfect, Inc.
Acquire existing revenue producing salons for equity in the Company
Using stock and option-based compensation to cover payroll and other permissible labor costs
Raise capital through the Company’s equity line of credit upon the effectiveness of a pending S-1 Registration Statement
•           Increasing revenues from rental properties by implementing new marketing programs
Making certain improvements to certain rental properties in order to make them more marketable
Reduce expenses through consolidating or disposing of certain subsidiary companies
Convert certain debt into shares of the Company’s common stock
Implement a major marketing campaign to sell our products online at www.blackchandelier.com

There can be no assurance that the Company can or will be successful in implementing any of its plans or that it will be successful in enabling the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

The Company has issued options to purchase Common Stock and non-option shares to employees and outside contractors for services during the years 2008 and 2007.  The majority of stock issued is from the exercise of stock options. Options are issued with either a “floating” exercise price, usually set at 50% of the market price on the sale date, or the options are granted with a fixed price set by the Board of Directors when the option is granted to the recipient.  The floating exercise price is determined when the employee or service provider finalizes the exercise of the option by a sale of the shares underlying the option or pays the exercise price. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), options issued to employees are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The value of common shares that are issued for services is based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of issuance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 28,410,900 shares of common stock, pursuant to the Company’s S-8 Registration Statement, valued at $1,825,884. 1,289,150 of these shares were issued as option shares to employees with a value of $1,012,065 in exchange for services rendered. The Company had a decrease in its receivable from stockholders of $120,894 for the exercise price due to the Company from outstanding option shares. Nexia received $101,030 in cash for its receivable from stockholders. The Company reduced paid in capital by $177,591 for stock subscription receivable adjustment in the first nine months of 2008. The ending balance of stock subscriptions receivable at September 30, 2008 was $47,769.

Nexia Holdings, Inc. through a board resolution dated July 2, 2008 authorized a one for one thousand reverse stock split effective on July 25, 2008. The Company’s Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 will retain the number of authorized shares of Common Stock at 5,500,000,000. There were 2,362,995,732 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of the reverse stock split. As of August 14, 2008 there were 2,482,922 shares outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
The information herein contains certain 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, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including, without limitation, the ability of Nexia to continue its business strategy, changes in the real estate markets, labor and employee benefits, as well as general market conditions, competition, and pricing. Although Nexia believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward looking statements included in the Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In view of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by Nexia or any other person that the objectives and plans of Nexia will be achieved.
 
General

Nexia's current operations consist of three principal areas: (1) operation of the design and retail operations of Black Chandelier fashion lines through the Company’s subsidiary Style Perfect, Inc. (SPI); (2) the operation of Landis Lifestyle Salons through Nexia’s ownership interest in Green Endeavors, Ltd. (GRNE) which holds an 85% ownership interest in Landis Salons, Inc. and 100% ownership of Newby Salon, LLC and (3) the acquisition, leasing and selling of real estate. The following discussion examines Nexia's financial condition as a result of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and compares those results with the comparable periods in 2007.

Style Perfect Retail Operations

During the second quarter of 2008, Nexia Holdings, Inc. exercised its secured interest in the assets of Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. and took possession of all known assets, including inventory, production equipment and all store fixtures and accessories.  The two remaining retail locations of Gold Fusion continued in operation and all operations were assigned by Nexia to a new subsidiary corporation named Style Perfect, Inc.  The Trolley Square location was closed recently and only the Gateway store remains in operation as a physical location. The online operations and the retail store are both operating under the trade name of Black Chandelier.

Black Chandelier operations as of September 30, 2008 include one retail outlet operated under the Black Chandelier label, at the Gateway Shopping Center (Salt Lake City, Utah), as well as the online shopping site, www.blackchandelier.com.

Gold Fusion/Style Perfect combined had sales of $41,245 and $313,162 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to Gold Fusion revenues of $177,890 and $663,945 for the same periods in 2007. The decrease in the three and nine month revenues of $136,645 and $350,783, or 77%, 53% respectively, was a result of the three stores that were closed in the first six months of 2008.

Net losses for Gold Fusion/Style Perfect combined operations were $199,312 and $946,509 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to Gold Fusion net losses of $240,227 and $772,542 for the same periods in 2007. The decrease in losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 was $40,915 or 17%. It was due to four store locations in operation during 2007 and only one store currently in operation as of September 30, 2008. The Company closed three of the stores to further reduce losses in unproductive locations. The increase in losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007 was $173,967, or 23%, and was caused by the write-down of property and equipment, inventory, and leasehold improvements during 2008 from closing three store locations.

Black Chandelier is a lifestyle company that produces clothing, candles and active wear.  The mission of Black Chandelier is to offer products designed with deliberateness and wild inspiration that indulge an individual’s innate drive to be unique.  The overarching concept is to provide the consumer with an affordable alternative to “mass-market” offerings by extending a product that conveys a sense of eccentricity that stands apart in quality, style and price, from most of the homogenous fare being offered consumers by the mainstream apparel market.  The clothing items are produced in small runs keeping merchandise offered in the stores fresh. Style Perfect is in the process of retooling its product lines and has recently hired a new designer to assist in the redesign of certain products.

Landis Salon Operations

Nexia’s majority owned subsidiary Green Endeavors LTD currently owns 85% of Landis Salons, Inc. (“Landis”).  In November 2005, the Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Landis for a $100,000 cash payment.  Landis operates an AvedaTM Lifestyle salon that features AvedaTM products for retail sale.

Landis Salon has two locations, one in Salt Lake City, Utah and the other in Bountiful, Utah. They reported revenue of $519,393 and $1,640,125 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $533,667 and $1,433,666 for the same period in 2007. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 2007 of $206,459, or 14%, came from the growth in customer base at the Salt Lake City location and the addition of a new store in Bountiful in the second half of 2007. The decrease in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 of $14,274, or 3%, was a result of turnover of stylist employed at the salons.

Net income for Landis operations was $42,445 and $129,215 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 compared to net losses of $50,009 and $58,951 for the same three and nine month periods in 2007. The increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 was $92,454 and $188,166 or 185% and 319%, due to increased sales at the Salt Lake location and better control over both locations’ operating expenses.

Additional information on the Landis Salon can be found on its website at www.landissalons.net.

 Real Estate Operations
 
Nexia's objective, with respect to real estate operations, is to acquire, through subsidiaries, properties which management believes to be undervalued and which Nexia is able to acquire with limited cash outlays. Nexia will consider properties anywhere within the continental United States. Nexia attempts to acquire such properties by assuming existing favorable financing and paying the balance of the purchase price with nominal cash payments or through the issuance of shares of common stock. Once such properties are acquired, Nexia leases them to primarily commercial tenants. Nexia also makes limited investments to improve the properties with the objective of increasing occupancy and cash flows. Management believes that, with limited improvements and effective management, properties can be sold at a profit within a relatively short period of time. Nexia currently operates three real estate subsidiaries: Wasatch Capital Corporation, Downtown Development Corporation and Kearns Development Corporation.
 
Nexia recorded rental revenues of $46,940 and $150,178 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $51,109 and $174,256 for the comparable periods in 2007. The decrease in the three and nine month rental revenues of $4,169 and $24,078 or 8% and 14% was due to the loss of the only tenant at the Kearns Building at the end of March in 2008.

Nexia had net external losses from real estate operations of $51,787 and $86,192 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to losses of $13,051 and $43,531 for the comparable periods in 2007. The increase in the three and nine month losses of $38,736 and $42,661, or 297% and 98%, is attributable to the loss of the only tenant at the Kearns building at the end of March 2008. The Company has accrued additional late fees for not making the mortgage payments on the Kearns building.

Nexia will continue efforts to improve profitability and cash flow by working to increase occupancy and rental income from those properties currently held and to seek new investment opportunities as they can be located and evaluated. Accordingly, Nexia hopes to not only minimize any real estate cash flow deficit, but also generate sufficient cash to record a substantial profit upon property disposition. Downtown Development currently has the Downtown building under contract to be sold. A contract to sell the Kearns building did not close. The mortgage on the Kearns building is currently in default. The Company is working on some funding to bring the mortgage payments current and to continue to try to sell the building.
 
 
Company Operations as a Whole:

Revenue 

Gross revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, were $607,678 and $2,103,465 as compared to $762,666 and $2,271,867 for the same periods in 2007. The decrease in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 of $154,988 and $168,402, or 20% and 7% is due to a tenant leaving one of our buildings at the end of March in 2008 and the closing of three Black Chandelier retail stores in the first six months of 2008.

Operating Losses
 
Nexia recorded operating losses of $1,805,703 and $3,475,819 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, compared to losses of $1,239,648 and $3,382,903 for the comparable periods in the year 2007. The increases in three and nine month operating losses of $566,055 and $92,916, or 46% and 3%, was the result of decreased revenue from closing three retail locations and losing a tenant in one of the buildings. There have also been write downs of inventories in the amount of $15,000, and abandoning leasehold improvements at the retail locations that were closed during the year in the amount of $232,385. Change to Net income explanation.

Net Loss
 
Nexia recorded net losses of $1,861,552 and $4,699,893 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, as compared to net losses of $1,272,214 and $3,288,803 for the comparable periods in 2007. The increase in losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $589,338 and $1,411,090, or 46% and 43%, compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was created by realizing nonrecurring losses in marketable equity securities valued at $785,285 during the first quarter of 2008, writeoffs of inventories, abandoned leasehold improvements, and a decrease in revenues from the Fashion retail division.

Nexia may not operate at a profit through fiscal 2008. Since Nexia's activities are tied to its ability to operate its retail and salon operations and real estate properties at a profit, future profitability or its revenue growth tends to follow changes in the markets for these activities. There can be no guarantee that profitability or revenue growth can be realized in the future.
 
Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, were $2,012,441 and $3,724,171 compared to $1,559,506 and $3,931,863 for the same periods in 2007. The increase in three month expenses of $452,935, or 29%, was created by a payment of restricted stock to reduce debt in excess of the debt value. The decrease in the nine month expenses of $207,692, or 5%, was due primarily to reducing the amount of outside services being paid for with stock, reduction in promotional costs, reduced payroll expenses and a decrease in cost from closing three Black Chandelier stores.
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, were $42,113 and $130,354 compared to $63,636 and $169,271 for same periods in 2007. The decreases in the three and nine month expenses of $21,523 and $38,917, or 34% and 23%, were attributable to two properties that are being held for sale and that did not receive any depreciation in the first nine months of 2008. There were also write downs and impairments of property and equipment values at March 31, 2008 of $294,733.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
On September 30, 2008, Nexia had current assets of $1,317,144 and $4,606,164 in total assets compared to current assets of $1,036,555 and total assets of $4,845,485 as of December 31, 2007. Nexia had net working capital deficit of $1,915,510 at September 30, 2008, as compared to a net working capital deficit of $1,694,448 at December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital deficit of $221,062 is due primarily from increases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and a reduction in inventory and cash.

Cash used by operating activities was $123,731 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to cash used by operating activities of $538,177 for the comparable nine month period in 2007. The decrease in cash used of $414,446 was attributable mostly to a larger net loss of $4,699,893, offset by a non-recurring marketable securities write-down of $785,285 and the issuance of stock options expensed in the amount of $257,905. Service and contract agreements were paid for with stock valued at $1,063,913 and restricted common stock was issued in excess of the debt amount to pay off a debt. There were also amortization expenses of Series C shares in the amount of $671,875 during 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities was $34,629 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $251,241 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease of cash used in the sum of $216,612 was attributable primarily to the decrease in purchases of capital assets for the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. There was also a disposal of capital assets in 2008, while there were none in 2007.
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $77,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to cash provided of $680,364 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease of $603,146 was due primarily to larger proceeds from stock subscriptions during the first half of 2007. There were also more proceeds from notes payable during 2007.

Nexia may experience occasional cash flow shortages due to debt service on real estate holdings and willingness to acquire properties with negative cash flow. To cover these shortages, Nexia may need to issue shares of its common stock in payment for services rendered. The Company is currently experiencing challenges with regard to cash flows. We are looking at several options to improve this situation, including having signed for an equity line of credit with Dutchess Private Equities Fund.  The agreement with Dutchess provides that, following notice to Dutchess, Nexia may put to Dutchess up to $10 million in shares of our common stock for a purchase price equal to 95% of the lowest closing best bid price on the Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Bulletin Board of our common stock during the five day period following that notice.  The number of shares that we will be permitted to put pursuant to the agreement will be either:  (a) 200% of the average daily volume of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing “best bid” prices immediately preceding the day we issue the put, or (b) $100,000; provided that in no event will the put amount be more than $1,000,000 with respect to any single put.  (Best Bid is a defined term in the agreement as the highest posted bid price for the common stock.)  In turn, Dutchess has indicated that it will resell the shares of common stock in the open market, resell our shares to other investors through negotiated transactions or hold our shares in its portfolio.  These shares are made the subject of an S-1 Registration Statement that has not yet been declared effective and for which the Company is currently drafting an amendment.
 
Stock and Options To Employees and Contractors

Nexia’s subsidiary, Diversified Holdings I, Inc., relied on the issuance of Nexia common stock, under Nexia’s S-8 Registration Statements and 2008 Employee Benefit Plan, for a large portion of employee salary and contractor payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The Company issued, pursuant to S-8 Registration Statements, 28,410,900 shares as compensation to twenty persons in exchange for services provided to the Company.  The total number of common shares issued was 78,388,600.  The value of these services and payment of a debt in excess of the debt value expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,559,716. If the Company stock is sold for more than the value when issued, paid-in capital will be increased.  If the Company stock is sold for less than the value when issued, paid-in capital will be reduced.

 
Impact of Inflation
 
Nexia believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years. Nexia believes that it can offset inflationary increases in the cost of materials and labor by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Known Trends, Events, or Uncertainties
 
General Real Estate Investment Risks
 
Nexia's investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally incident to the ownership of real property. Real estate values and income from Nexia's current properties may be adversely affected by changes in national or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics, changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds, the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the ongoing need for capital improvements, changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, civil unrest, acts of God, including earthquakes and other natural disasters which may result in uninsured losses, acts of war, adverse changes in zoning laws and other factors which are beyond the control of Nexia.
 
Value and Illiquidity of Real Estate
 
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. The ability of Nexia to vary its ownership of real estate property in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. If Nexia must sell an investment, there can be no assurance that Nexia will be able to dispose of it in the time period it desires or that the sales price of any investment will recoup the amount of Nexia's investment.
 
Property Taxes
 
Nexia's real property is subject to real property taxes. The real property taxes may increase or decrease as property tax rates change and as the property is assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. If property taxes increase, Nexia's operations could be adversely affected.
 
 ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 Nexia's president acts both as the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer ("Certifying Officer") and is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for Nexia. The Certifying Officer has concluded (based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the design and operation of Nexia's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are not effective and adequate in areas disclosed below.
 
 As of the end of the quarter covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company’s internal control, disclosure controls, and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there were a number of adjusting entries initiated by the Company after the auditors’ field work was completed.  This is evidence of material deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company also performed procedures in completing these financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2008 to ensure that the amounts and disclosures included were fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

Nexia is currently designing procedures to test and validate the quality of our internal controls. Management will take measures at the end of each quarter in 2008 to review the numbers carefully for errors and adjustments, if needed. We perform inventory counts at each quarter and adjust inventory accordingly. Accounting personnel look for discrepancies from our pre-count inventory numbers and our post-count numbers and fix weaknesses in the control process. We balance our bank statements to our daily sales and deposits made to verify sales are being recorded correctly, and cash and inventory are secured from most kinds of fraud. All checks are signed and approved by Richard Surber, the President and CEO of the Company. He is the only signer on all bank accounts. All use of credit cards is approved by Richard Surber, and they are usually used for payment of bills.  Someone in accounting, other than those authorized to use the credit cards, reconciles the balances.

We review each account balance for all subsidiaries in the consolidation, after we have completed recording all transactions and adjusting balances. This is done to verify that the accounts reflect the correct balance and that required adjustments have been made. We are working to improve our procedures in this area.

In conclusion management has found a material weakness in its internal controls and procedures. Management’s goals are to make the changes stated above, along with others that management may find necessary, and to complete a written, comprehensive document on our internal control and management procedures.

I, Richard Surber, certify that:

 
1. I have reviewed this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Nexia Holdings, Inc.;
