NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.    ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company

US Dry Cleaning Corporation (“USDC”, “we”, or “us”) is a retail service provider of laundry and dry cleaning services consisting of fifty-six retail locations (“stores”) and three processing plants.  The Company’s operations are located in Honolulu, Hawaii, Southern California, Central California, and the mid-east coast.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company completed the business acquisitions of Team Enterprises, Inc. and affiliates (“Team”) and Zoots Corporation (“Zoots”) (see Note 7).
 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in accordance with GAAP, the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2008, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Such adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has recurring losses from operations; negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $3,884,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008; negative working capital of approximately $3,908,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $23,895,000 at March 31, 2008. The Company’s business plan calls for various business acquisitions, which will require substantial additional capital. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund operations through debt financing transactions.  In connection with such efforts, the Company completed a $4,193,000 debt financing during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and additional debt and equity financings of $7,848,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (see Note 3).  However, such financing transactions may be insufficient to fund planned acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next year. Therefore, the Company will be required to seek additional funds to finance its long-term operations. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(UNAUDITED)

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of USDC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Steam Press Holdings, Inc. (“Steam Press”), Coachella Valley Retail, LLC (“CVR”), Cleaners Club, Inc. (“CCI”), USDC Fresno, Inc. (“Fresno”), and USDC Portsmouth, Inc. (“Portsmouth”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include the realization of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, and the purchase price allocations for business acquisitions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Segments

The Company currently operates in one segment, that being the laundry and dry cleaning business and is geographically concentrated in Hawaii, Virginia, and California.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition. The Company faces risks and uncertainties relating to its ability to successfully implement its business strategy. Among other things, these risks include the ability to develop and sustain revenue growth; managing the expansion of its operations; competition; attracting and retaining qualified personnel; maintaining and developing new strategic relationships; and the ability to anticipate and adapt to the changing markets and any changes in government or environmental regulations. Therefore, the Company is subject to the risks of delays and potential business failure.

The dry cleaning industry has been a target for environmental regulation during the past two decades due to the use of certain solvents in the cleaning process. In 2002, air quality officials in Southern California approved a gradual phase out of Perchloroethylene (“Perc”), the most common dry cleaning solvent, by 2020. Under this regulation, which went into effect January 1, 2003, any new dry cleaning business or facility that adds a machine must also add a non-Perc machine. While existing dry cleaners can continue to operate one Perc machine until 2020, by November 2007 all dry cleaners using Perc must utilize state-of-the-art pollution controls to reduce Perc emissions. The Company believes that it is successfully integrating the new dry cleaning processes.

(UNAUDITED)
 

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

Management feels that domestic media have generally sensationalized the perceived hazards of Perc to operators, clients and the environment in general. Perc is a volatile, yet non-flammable, substance that requires precautions and proper handling. However, it has proven safe, effective and completely manageable for years and the Company anticipates that its centralized operations and improvements in all facets of the business will further improve the safety for employees, clients and the environment. The Company will continue to utilize Perc where permitted on a limited interim basis to assure an orderly transition. To the extent that additional investment for environmental compliance may be necessary, the Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact. The Company believes that it complies in all material respects with all relevant rules and regulations pertaining to the use of chemical agents. In the opinion of management, the Company complies in all material respects with all known federal, state, and local legislation pertaining to the use of all chemical agents and will endeavor to ensure that the entire organization proactively remains in compliance with all such statutes and regulations in the future.

Other Concentrations

The financial instrument that potentially exposes the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consists of cash. The Company deposits its cash with high credit financial institutions in the United States of America. At March 31, 2008, the Company’s cash balances were  in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit by approximately $754,000.

The Company’s credit risk with respect to the accounts receivable is limited due to the credit worthiness of customers and the fact that most of accounts receivable consists of large commercial customers. The Company also performs periodic reviews of collectibility and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable when necessary.  Management considers the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable at March 31, 2008 of approximately $39,000 to be adequate.
 
Loss Per Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share,"  basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the convertible preferred stock and convertible debt (using the if-converted method). At March 31, 2008, 7,487,953 convertible securities and 4,471,626 options and warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive. At March 31, 2007, 2,215,000 convertible securities and 432,432 options and warrants to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the March 31, 2007 condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2008 presentations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on retail laundry and dry cleaning services when the services have been provided and the earnings process is complete. For “walk-in” retail customers, when an order is complete and ready for customer pick-up, the sale and related account receivable are recorded. For commercial customers, the sale is not recorded until the Company delivers the cleaned garments.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, ”Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN No. 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in an income tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The requirement to assess the need for a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is not affected by FIN No. 48. This pronouncement was effective October 1, 2007 for the Company and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP, but does not require any new fair value measurements. The guidance in SFAS No. 157 applies to derivatives and other financial instruments measured at estimated fair value under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.
 
On February 15, 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.” This standard permits an entity to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at estimated fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 (“Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”) applies to all entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option created by SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to measure eligible items at fair value as of specified election dates. Among others, eligible items exclude (1) financial instruments classified (partially or in total) as permanent or temporary stockholders’ equity (such as a convertible debt security with a non-contingent beneficial conversion feature) and (2) investments in subsidiaries and interests in variable interest entities that must be consolidated. A for-profit business entity will be required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in its statements of operations at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion of the instrument. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity (i) makes that choice in the first 120 days of that year, (ii) has not yet issued financial statements for any interim period of such year, and (iii) elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 (“Fair Value Measurements”). The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a significant impact on future financial statements.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations such that an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including:
 
·  
Acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred;
·  
Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” – see SFAS No. 160 discussion below) will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date;
·  
Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;
·  
In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;
·  
Restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and
·  
Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

SFAS No. 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements and applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) is not expected to have a significant impact on future financial statements Also, on December 4, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51."  SFAS No. 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent's equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 clarifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. This statement also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like SFAS No. 141(R) discussed above, earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating what effect such statement will have on its future financial statements.

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

3.   NOTES PAYABLE

During the six months ended March 31, 2008, the Company completed the closing of a private placement of 10% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to accredited investors, receiving net cash of approximately $2,740,000.  Each Note was issued at a price equal to 90% of its principal amount.  The Notes mature two years after the date of their issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears in cash.  Investors may convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time on or before the maturity date, at a conversion price of $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment under customary circumstances. The Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price, if the closing bid price for the common stock has traded at more than $5.00 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, provided that, throughout this period, the common stock has been trading on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ and such conversion shares have been fully registered for resale and are not subject to any lock-up provisions.  At March 31, 2008, the balance outstanding on the notes was approximately $4,327,000, net of discount, and was included in convertible notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

During fiscal year 2007, the Company accepted subscriptions from accredited investors for $2,250,000 of its Series A Convertible Debentures. The debentures were sold with a built-in thirty percent (30%) rate of return. For each $100,000 paid to the Company, a total of $130,000 is due to the holder. Additionally, upon issuance, the Company issued 16,666 shares of common stock to the note holder for each $100,000 subscription. The debentures mature in one year from the date issued with no interest. The principal amount of the debentures may be converted into common stock of the Company at a fixed conversion rate of $3.00 per share at the holder’s option at any time. The principal amount of the debentures is secured by all of the Company’s assets and those of its operating subsidiaries, including an assignment of its leasehold interests in its retail facilities. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company is obligated to register or to file a registration statement for all of the common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the debentures, within 270 days from closing on a “best efforts” basis. Broker or underwriting fees or commissions to be paid in connection with the offer and sale was a maximum of 10% of cash received. The Company recorded $1,800,000 in cash proceeds; debt conversion of $200,000 and a stockholder note receivable of $250,000. Accordingly, 374,985 shares of common stock were issued. During the six months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $50,000 of Series A Convertible Debt holder converted their debt to common stock and approximately $1,660,000 of Series A Convertible Debt holders converted their debt to the newly issued above Notes.  The debt to debt conversion resulted in debt extinguishment accounting under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 26, “Early Extinguishment of Debt,” and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,” and accordingly, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of approximately $424,000 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2008, balance outstanding on the Series A Convertible Debentures was $475,000 and the obligation was in default.

A handful of markets are dominated by large, well-capitalized operators who have implemented a model similar to USDC’s vision: serving multiple locations with centralized, large capacity production facilities. Smaller players are finding it more difficult to retain market share due to higher overall operating costs and constraints. The Company believes that its strategy of centralized operations, consolidation, and public corporate structure is unique in the dry cleaning industry. However, there can be no assurance that other enterprises will not seek to acquire a significant number of dry cleaning operations in markets in which the Company currently operates or will prospectively operate.

Other Risks and Uncertainties 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition. The Company faces risks and uncertainties relating to its ability to successfully implement its business strategy. Among other things, these risks include the ability to develop and sustain revenue growth; managing the expansion of its operations; competition; attracting and retaining qualified personnel; maintaining and developing new strategic relationships; and the ability to anticipate and adapt to the changing markets and any changes in government or environmental regulations. Therefore, the Company is subject to the risks of delays and potential business failure.

The dry cleaning industry has been a target for environmental regulation during the past two decades due to the use of certain solvents in the cleaning process. For example, in 2002, air quality officials in Southern California approved a gradual phase out of Perchloroethylene (“Perc”), the most common dry cleaning solvent, by 2020. Under this regulation, which went into effect January 1, 2003, any new dry cleaning business or facility that adds a machine must also add a non-Perc machine. While existing dry cleaners can continue to operate one Perc machine until 2020, by November 2007 all dry cleaners using Perc must utilize state-of-the-art pollution controls to reduce Perc emissions. The Company believes that it has successfully integrated the new dry cleaning processes.

Management feels that domestic media have generally sensationalized the perceived hazards of Perc to operators, clients and the environment in general. Perc is a volatile, yet non-flammable, substance that requires precautions and proper handling. However, it has proven safe, effective and completely manageable for years and the Company anticipates that its centralized operations and improvements in all facets of the business will further improve the safety for employees, clients and the environment. The Company will continue to utilize Perc where permitted on a limited interim basis to assure an orderly transition. To the extent that additional investment for environmental compliance may be necessary, the Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact. The Company believes that it complies in all material respects with all relevant rules and regulations pertaining to the use of chemical agents. In the opinion of management, the Company complies in all material respects with all known federal, state, and local legislation pertaining to the use of all chemical agents and will endeavor to ensure that the entire organization proactively remains in compliance with all such statutes and regulations in the future.

Major Customers

At March 31, 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for approximately 12% and 15% of gross accounts receivable, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of net sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 no customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales.

Business Acquisitions

On February 15, 2007, 100% of CCI’s authorized, issued and outstanding common stock was acquired in a merger with USDC. The acquired shares were converted into 780,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock of USDC immediately prior to the merger. The Company’s management has estimated the fair value of the 780,000 common shares given at $1.85 per share (the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock) for a stock purchase price consideration of $1,443,000.  Additionally, the Company issued fully vested stock options valued at approximately $203,000, cash of $100,000 and incurred approximately $282,000 in acquisition related costs for a total purchase price consideration of approximately $2,028,000.

On February 14, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Team in a purchase business combination by issuing 2,044,667 shares of its restricted common stock, paying cash of $1,572,000, issuing senior debt of $1,472,000, and the assumption of $44,000 in liabilities.  Team consists of four corporations made up of nineteen retail store locations.  All such entities were under common control and ownership prior to the purchase.

On March 24, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Zoots in a purchase business combination with the payment of cash of $765,000 and the issuance of a short-term note payable for $975,000.  The assets acquired consist of eleven retail store locations and a centralized processing plant.  As discussed above in Note 3, in order to finance the acquisition,  the Company issued a secured convertible note in the initial principal amount of $1,725,000 to Setal 2, LLC, which is secured by a first priority lien over all of Zoots assets acquired.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets increased by approximately $5,009,000 from $11,346,000 as of March 31, 2007 to $16,355,000 as of March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to an increase in goodwill of approximately $2,473,000 related to our recent acquisition; property and equipment of approximately $2,053,000; and intangible assets of $650,000.
   
Total liabilities increased by approximately $8,177,000 from approximately $6,316,000 as of March 31, 2007 to approximately $14,493,000 as of March 31, 2008. This is primarily due to an increase in convertible notes payable of approximately $6,342,000; increase in accounts payable of approximately $962,000.
 
Our operating activities used approximately $3,884,000 in cash during the six months ended March 31, 2008. Our net loss of approximately $4,539,000 was the primary component of our negative operating cash flow. This net loss was offset by a number of non-cash items totaling approximately $398,000. These include depreciation, amortization, bad debt expense and the issuance of stock for compensation and services and debt discount amortization in addition to the growth in payables of approximately $619,000. Operating activities used approximately $1,659,000 in cash during the six months ended March 31, 2007. Our net loss of approximately $3,789,000 was the primary component of our negative operating cash flow. This net loss was offset by a number of non-cash items totaling approximately $1,110,000. These include depreciation, amortization, bad debt expense, issuance of stock for compensation and services and debt discount amortization in addition to the growth in accounts payable and other expenses of approximately $949,000.
 
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2008 consisted of approximately $2,589,000 used primarily for the recent acquisitions totaling approximately $3,042,000, offset by a decrease in deferred acquisition cost of $458,000 as compared to approximately $748,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 primarily for the deferred acquisition cost for the projects in process.

Cash flows from financing activities were approximately $5,328,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 which primarily consisted of approximately $5,458,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures; $571,000 in proceeds from issuance of common stock; and issuance of notes payable of approximately $800,000; offset by repayments on notes payable, capital leases and prepaid financing costs of approximately $1,500,000.  Cash flows from financing activities were approximately $1,334,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 which primarily consisted of approximately $1,800,000 proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable offset by $605,000 of repayments on notes payable and deferred equity raising cost.

We have a working capital deficit of approximately $3,908,000 as of March 31, 2008. To meet our current working capital requirements, the Company completed a $4,193,000 debt financing during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and additional debt and equity financings of $7,848,000, during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. However, such financing transactions may be insufficient to fund planned acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements.
 
Going Concern Considerations

The condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has recurring losses from operations; negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $3,884,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008; and negative working capital of approximately $3,908,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $23,895,000 at March 31, 2008. The Company’s business plan calls for various business acquisitions, which will require substantial additional capital. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund operations through debt financing transactions. In connection with such efforts, the Company completed a $4,193,000 debt financing during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and additional debt financings of $7,848,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  However, such financing transactions may be insufficient to fund planned acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next year. Therefore, the Company will be required to seek additional funds to finance its long-term operations. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of the Company’s services, the Company’s ability to service its customers, the Company’s ability to maintain and expand its customer base, the level of resources required to expand the Company’s marketing and sales organization, and other factors. The Company intends to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing transactions. However, such financing transactions may not be sufficient to fund its planned acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital, and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts, and are not a party to any transaction with persons or entities that derive benefits, except as disclosed herein, from their non-independent relationships with us.

Inflation

We believe that inflation generally causes an increase in sales prices with an offsetting unfavorable effect on the cost of products and services sold and other operating expenses. Accordingly, with the possible exception of the impact on interest rates, we believe that inflation will have no significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

To prepare the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In particular, we provide for estimates regarding the collectability of accounts receivable, the recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as our deferred tax asset valuation allowance. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Future financial results could differ materially from current financial results.

Long-Lived Assets
 
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held for use is based on expectations of future undiscounted cash flows from the related operations, and when circumstances dictate, we adjust the asset to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Our judgments related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in economic conditions, and changes in operating performance. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, these factors could cause us to realize a material impairment charge, which would result in decreased net income (or increased net loss) and reduce the carrying value of these assets.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets should be accounted for upon their acquisition and after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized but rather be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and intangible assets that will not be amortized for impairment. In addition, SFAS No. 142 expands the disclosure requirements about intangible assets in the years subsequent to their acquisition. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of SFAS No. 142 are to be reported as a change in accounting principle.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue on retail laundry and dry cleaning services when the services are deemed to have been provided. For “walk-in and pickup-and-delivery” type retail customers, the order is deemed to have been completed when the work-order ticket is created and the sale and related account receivable are recorded. For commercial customers, the sale is not recorded until the Company delivers the cleaned garments to the commercial customer. Generally, the Company delivers the cleaned garments to commercial customers the same day they are dropped off (same-day service).

Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax assets are recorded net of a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance reduces the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount the Company’s management believes is more likely than not realizable. In making the determination, projections of taxable income (if any), past operating results, and tax planning strategies are considered.

Purchase Price Allocations for Acquisitions

The allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values. We reached our conclusions regarding the estimated fair values assigned to such assets based upon the following factors:
 
 
Item 3:    Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

The ineffective disclosure controls and procedures are material weakness. The Company intends to address these matters by establishing effective controls over the period-end closing and financial reporting processes. This will require the addition of personnel and the creation of closing protocols for the Company and its subsidiaries as well as the consolidation o all subsidiaries.

We plan on remediating the material weaknesses by implementation of new financial reporting systems throughout our operations; adoption of uniform internal controls; and the addition of management personnel to monitor daily organizational activities which will ensure that information is being gathered, reviewed and disclosed at all levels of our company and reported timely in various reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of internal control also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
