PART I
 
ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Background Information
 
MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”), formerly 4307, Inc., was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005 for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination.

On April 2, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Clean Energies Tech Co. purchased a total of 100,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company from Michael Raleigh, the sole officer, director and shareholder of the Company, for an aggregate of $30,000 in cash and the assumption of liabilities ($2,500). The total of 100,000 shares represented all of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer. 

Prior to the above transaction, Clean Energies Tech Co and the Company were essentially shell companies that were unrelated, with no assets, minimal liabilities, and no operations.  As a result, the 100% change in control was recorded as a private equity transaction, and no goodwill was recorded, as no assets were acquired and minimal liabilities were assumed.  On May 12, 2007, subsequent to the date of purchase, 67,052,000 shares of common stock were issued to founding members of the organization.   As the company determined that the shares had no value, stock and additional paid in capital were increased and decreased by the par value of the stock issued.
 
Business Operations

Since the acquisition, the Company has adopted the operating plan and mission which is to provide services in cleaning and converting contaminated waste. A process has been developed which transforms contaminated waste through a proprietary incandescent machine. The result of the product is to carbonize waste for normal disposal. A by product of this process will produce an alternative biogas source.  The patented proprietary technology is owned by the Company.

Business Development  

To meet our need for cash we raised money from a regulation D 506 Offering for U.S. citizens and Regulation S for non-U.S. citizens.   The company has received a loan of $100,000 from a large shareholder subsequent to the year end for working capital purposes.  We believe we will have sufficient working capital to meet our basic operational needs for the next twelve months.  In order to achieve our full operational expansion plan, we will need to raise additional capital.  We have retained the services of a Investment firm for this purpose and are seeking to raise up to $10 million in various stages of private equity funding. In addition, we will aggressively pursue funding through federal and state grant programs being made available as a result of the federal stimulus program.  If we are unable to generate meaningful revenues during the next twelve months, or if we are unable to make a reasonable profit after twelve months, we may have to raise additional capital or cease operations.  If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.

Employees

We presently have no full-time employees and one part-time employee.   We currently have leased employees and independent technicians perform production and other duties, as required.

Dr. Santilli, our Chief Scientist and key employee, has provided services in exchange for stock.  Dr. Santilli declined to take any salary until the Company generated meaningful revenue and profits.

Richard Connolly, our President, has provided services under consulting contract.  Additionally, he has received compensation in the form of stock.

We currently have no other key employees.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
 
We have a limited operating history that can be used to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays that we may encounter because we are a small business. As a result, we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to develop as we have planned.
 
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow will be dependent upon:

·  
Management’s ability to maintain the technology skills for our conversion services;
·  
The Company’s ability to keep abreast of the changes by the government agencies and law;
 
 
-1-

 
 
·  
Our ability to attract customers who require the services we offer; and
·  
Our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our services to potential clients who need our services.

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues to cover our expenses.  We cannot be sure that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future.  Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business and any investment in our Company would be lost.
 
Managing a small public company involves a high degree of risk. Few small public companies ever reach market stability and we will be subject to oversight from governing bodies and regulations that will be costly to meet.  Our present officers and directors do not have any experience in managing a fully reporting public company so we may be forced to obtain outside consultants to assist with our meeting these requirements.  These outside consultants are expensive and can have a direct impact on our ability to be profitable. This will make an investment in our Company a highly speculative and risky investment.
 
While the Company is attempting to disclose all of the potential risks associated with an investment in the Company, there can be no assurance that all of the risks are visible to management.  Events occurring in the future may be additional risks to an investment in the Company which are currently unforeseen.

We will require financing to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain such financing could prohibit us from executing our business plan and cause us to slow down our expansion of operations.
 
We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current plan of operations. Such financing may not be available when needed. Even if such financing is available, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms.  We will require additional funds estimated at approximately $10,000,000 in order to significantly expand our business as set forth in our plan of operations. These funds may not be available or, if available, will be on commercially reasonable terms satisfactory to us. We may not be able to obtain financing if and when it is needed on terms we deem acceptable.   The additional funds would be utilized for the manufacturing of additional PlasmaArcFlow processors, which byproducts would be marketed to the target market end users.   
 
If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay or scale back our plans for expansion. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms may delay the execution of our plan to expand our operations. 
 
We have a limited operating history that you can use to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays that we may encounter because we are a small development stage enterprise.  As a result, we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to develop as we have planned.
 
We were incorporated in Delaware in December of 2005. We have no significant assets or financial resources. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses and difficulties in converting liquid wastes into a clean biogas, recruiting and keeping clients and obtaining financing to meet the needs of our plan of operations. Since we have a limited operating history we may not be profitable and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.
 
Failure to comply with government regulations will severely limit our sales opportunities and future revenue
 
Failure to obtain operating permits, or otherwise to comply with federal and state regulatory and environmental requirements, could affect our abilities to market and sell the PlasmaArcFlow system and could substantially reduce the value of your investment and the market price of our common stock.
 
We and our customers may be required to comply with a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations in the areas of safety, health and environmental controls.  In as much as we intend to market the PlasmaArcFlow system internationally, we will be required to comply with laws and regulations and, when applicable, obtain permits in those other countries.
 
We can not be certain that required permits and approvals will be obtained; that new environmental regulations will not be enacted or that if they are enacted, our customers and we can meet stricter standards of operation or obtain additional operating permits or approvals.
 
Our patented technology is unproven on a large-scale industrial basis and could fail to perform in an industrial production environment.
 
-2-


The technologies which we are pursuing for Magnegas production from liquid waste have never been utilized on a large-scale industrial basis. All of the tests which we have conducted to date with respect to our technologies have been performed on limited quantities, and we cannot assure you that the same or similar results could be obtained on a large-scale industrial basis. We have never utilized these Magnegas technologies under the conditions or in the volumes that will be required on a large scale and cannot predict all of the difficulties that may arise.  In addition, our technology has never operated at a volume level required to be profitable.  As our product is an alternative to Natural Gas, the unstable price of Natural Gas will impact our ability to become profitable and to sell cost competitive fuel.  It is possible that the technologies, when used, may require further research, development, design and testing prior to implementation of a larger-scale commercial application. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that these technologies will perform successfully on a large-scale commercial basis or that they will be profitable to us or that our fuel will be cost competitive in the market.
 
Our future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service of Rich Connelly, our President, and Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, our CEO. Without their continued service, we may be forced to interrupt or eventually cease our operations.
 
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Rich Connelly, our President and Dr. Ruggero Maria Santilli, our CEO. We currently only have an employment agreement with Dr. Santilli and do not have an employment agreement with other officers and directors. The loss of either of their services would delay our business operations substantially.
 
The success of our business depends, in part, upon proprietary technologies and information which may be difficult to protect and may be perceived to infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.
 
We believe that the identification, acquisition and development of proprietary technologies are key drivers of our business. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain the secrecy of our proprietary technology and information, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. We cannot assure you that the patents of others will not have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business, that the patents that provide us with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties, that we will develop additional proprietary technology that is patentable or that any patents issued to us will provide us with competitive advantages or will not be challenged by third parties. Further, we cannot assure you that others will not independently develop similar or superior technologies, duplicate elements of our biomass technology or design around it.
 
In order to successfully commercialize our proprietary technologies, it is possible that we may need to acquire licenses to, or to contest the validity of, issued or pending patents or claims of third parties. We cannot assure you that any license acquired under such patents would be made available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we would prevail in any such contest. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us for alleged infringement of another party's patents or in defending the validity or enforceability of our patents, or in bringing patent infringement suits against other parties based on our patents.
 
In addition to the protection afforded by patents, we also rely on trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technology that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our prospective joint venture partners, employees and consultants. We cannot assure you that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach, or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by others.
 
We have the potential risk of product liability which may subject us to litigation and related costs
 
Our PlasmaArcFlow system will be utilized in a variety of industrial and other settings, and will be used to handle materials resulting from the user's generation of liquid waste. The equipment will therefore be subject to risks of breakdowns and malfunctions, and it is possible that claims for personal injury and business losses arising out of these breakdowns and malfunctions will be made against us.  Our insurance may be insufficient to provide coverage against all claims, and claims may be made against us even if covered by our insurance policy for amounts substantially in excess of applicable policy limits. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Because we are smaller and have fewer financial and other resources than many alternative fuel companies, we may not be able to successfully compete in the very competitive alternative fuel industry.
 
Fuel is a commodity. There is significant competition among existing fuel producers. Our business faces competition from a number of producers that can produce significantly greater volumes of fuel than we can or expect to produce, producers that can produce a wider range of products than we can, and producers that have the financial and other resources that would enable them to expand their production rapidly if they chose to. These producers may be able to achieve substantial economies of scale and scope, thereby substantially reducing their fixed production costs and their marginal productions costs. If these producers are able to substantially reduce their marginal production costs, the market price of fuel may decline and we may be not be able to produce biogas at a cost that allows us to operate profitably. Even if we are able to operate profitably, these other producers may be substantially more profitable than us, which may make it more difficult for us to raise any financing necessary for us to achieve our business plan and may have a materially adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
 
-3-


Costs of compliance with burdensome or changing environmental and operational safety regulations could cause our focus to be diverted away from our business and our results of operations to suffer.
 
Liquid waste disposal and fuel production involves the discharge of potential contaminants into the water and air.  As a result, we are subject to complicated environmental regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and regulations and permitting requirements of the various states. These regulations are subject to change and such changes may require additional capital expenditures or increased operating costs. Consequently, considerable resources may be required to comply with future environmental regulations. We did not incur any capital expenditures for environmental control in 2007 or 2008 and we do not currently expect to incur material capital expenditures for environmental controls in this or the succeeding fiscal year  In addition, our production plants could be subject to environmental nuisance or related claims by employees, property owners or residents near the plants arising from air or water discharges Environmental and public nuisance claims, or tort claims based on emissions, or increased environmental compliance costs could significantly increase our operating costs.

ITEM 2.      PROPERTIES
 
We presently lease on a month-to-month basis our principal offices at 150 Rainville Rd, Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 and the telephone number is (727) 934-3448.   The property is a commercial property for our production facility with attached office.  
 
ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not engaged in any litigation, and we are unaware of any claims or complaints that could result in future litigation.  We will seek to minimize disputes with our customers but recognize the inevitability of legal action in today’s business environment as an unfortunate price of conducting business.

In particular, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” variations of such words, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements, and their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from historical results as well as those expressed in, anticipated, or implied by these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on management’s current expectations and projections about future events, are not guarantees of future performance, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions (including those described below), and apply only as of the date of this filing. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the risks to be discussed in our Annual Report on form 10-K and in the press releases and other communications to shareholders issued by us from time to time which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors which may affect our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
Plan of Operations
 
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations: 

Overall Plan

Our overall plan of operation for the next twelve months is to install three Plasma Arc Flow Industrial demonstration centers strategically located throughout the United States.  One will be installed in a municipal sewage treatment facility to process sewage or sludge, one will be built and used by the company as a refinery for the metal cutting fuel market and one will be installed as a pilot plant converting Wind Power to fuel.  We have been in negotiations with a municipality and have received a general letter of commitment, without a defined start date.  These refineries will be used to promote our core business strategy.  During the next twelve months, we intend to pursue private equity financing of $10 million in various phases using our shares of common stock.  In addition, we will aggressively pursue funding through federal and state grant programs being made available as a result of  the federal stimulus program.  We will pursue the acquisition of a metal cutting and welding fuel distribution company to accelerate our market penetration.  In addition, we will conduct research and development for the catalytic liquefaction of Magnegas, the industrial membrane separation of hydrogen, the use of Magnegas as an additive to clean coal exhaust and we will complete our analysis of the automotive market and the financial and regulatory requirements for us to sell fuel for bi-fuel cars.  We will also pursue all needed federal, state and local regulatory permits necessary to implement our operational plan.  Our plan is crucially dependent on our ability to raise capital, if we are not able to raise capital, it will not be possible for us to achieve our operational plan.  If we raise only a portion of our required capital, we will only be in a position to implement a portion of our plan.
   
First Quarter 2009

We will continue our efforts in selling MagneGas in the metal cutting market.  We will use established relationships with existing metal cutting fuel wholesalers to distribute MagneGas for this market.  We will fulfill fuel orders from our Atlanta distributor and will pursue agreements with additional metal cutting fuel distributors throughout the United States.  We will aggressively pursue equity financing and grants to obtain sufficient capital to allow us to purchase a fuel distributor in our market, construct refineries and conduct research and development.  We intend to actively recruit new board members, corporate and manufacturing staff with appropriate experience.
 
Second Quarter 2009

We will begin construction of two PlasmaArcFlow demonstration centers, one to process sludge at a local municipality and one for the metal cutting and welding fuel market.  We will continue to aggressively pursue MagneGas sales for the metal cutting market through wholesalers, trade events and from our marketing and sales consultants. We intend to continue to actively recruit new board members with appropriate experience and hire a corporate and operational staff.  We expect to complete our capital raise and to identify potential acquisitions in our market.  We will conduct additional research and development as outlined above.
 

 
-6-

 
Third Quarter 2009

We will install our Plasma Arc Flow demonstration center at a local Florida sewage treatment facility to process human sewage or sludge. We anticipate that we can complete construction of our metal cutting fuel refinery and will begin construction of a third refinery with a location to be determined. We will aggressively pursue MagneGas sales for the metal cutting market through a marketing plan that fully leverages our demonstration centers and we will hire additional operational staff and manufacturing staff in anticipation of new sales and will expand our current facility to accommodate our space needs.  We will continue our research and development efforts.
 
Fourth Quarter 2009

By the fourth quarter of 2009, we anticipate being fully operational with three refineries located in various regions of the United States.  We will continue sales of MagneGas in the metal cutting market.  We will aggressively pursue our marketing and sales plan to fully leverage our demonstration centers.  We expect to obtain several service contracts during this quarter as potential customers view first hand the operation of our equipment at an industrial level. We will continue to hire operational staff and manufacturing staff in anticipation of new sales.

Summary

The foregoing represents our best estimate of our current planning, and is based on a reasonable assessment of funds we expect to become available.  However, our plans may vary significantly depending upon the amount of funds raised and status of our business plan. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds will be required and we would then not be able to proceed with our business plan as anticipated. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business.

The current state of the financial market and the economy has negatively impacted our ability to raise capital, to generate sales and to achieve our operational plan.   There is no guarantee that these market forces will change in 2009 and despite management’s best effort we may not be able to raise capital or increase our fuel sales until the economy and the financial markets improve.

The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash generated by the sale of stock through a private offering and loans from a large shareholder.  We believe we can not currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months for our operational plan with our current cash and expected revenues from our private placement and sales.  However, management plans to increase revenue and obtain additional financing in order to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months. We have already sold shares to support our continued operations. However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we will require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and growth.

In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds will be required, and we would then not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our services to cover our operating expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
 
As reflected in the financial statements, we are in the development stage, and have an accumulated deficit from inception of $1,399,897 and have a negative cash flow from operations of $229,800 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

At December 30, 2008 the Company had negative of capital resources in order to meet current obligations.  The Company may rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses until operations generate cash flows sufficient to support the on-going business.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. We anticipate that we will require approximately $10,000,000 to fund our plan of operations.
 
In effort to achieve revenue plans we have sold MagneGas as a metal cutting MagneGas. We have received firm orders from four entities for the Magnegas produced from non-hazardous waste.  We have an additional non-binding letter of intent to process liquid waste based on proposals and our demonstrations.  The non-binding letter of intent includes a defined time and place with resulting revenue earning structure.  To fund this sale, the firm orders, and existing non-binding letters of intent, the Company has raised $219,500 in cash proceeds via sales of common stock to date and raised an additional $70,100 in cash proceeds from a shareholder loans during 2008.  Additionally, to deliver on these orders we have the commitment of six persons dedicated to the fulfillment of orders and it is headed by a well known industry consultant, whom we have attained to help develop operating guidelines as well as being instrumental in the marketing and development of our brand offering.

To expand understanding of our efforts and progress in generating revenue:

Metal Cutting Magnegas:  Sales commenced on March 2008.  Marketing efforts are being concentrated on industry wholesalers to utilize their established customer base and distribution channels.  Our current operations in new facilities (previously disclosed month to month agreement) have been set up for expansion.  We estimate current facilities have capacity for 400-500 bottles to be processed per week.  Our new facilities allow us the flexibility to ramp up for greater volume, as market interest is anticipated to increase.  In the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the company entered into a material definitive agreement with a regional supplier of metal cutting and welding market.  The agreement defined terms, location and minimum purchase amounts, which should yield a minimum of $36,000 in the first year.

Letter of Intent: A non-binding letter of intent was agreed, in principal with a local municipality's water treatment facility to conduct a six-month plant scale test of our equipment.  Once we have raised sufficient capital, our existing prototype equipment will be modified for the specifics required for this project.   The initial fuel generated from this project will be sold in the metal cutting market and tested for various uses by the city. At this time we are unable to accurately estimate the volume that will be processed, nor are we able to accuratey predict whether this plant scale test will be successful.   No date has been determined when this project is to commence and funding will be required to implement this project as per our plan of operations.
 
Results of Operations

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008.

Revenues

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008 we generated revenues of $12,225, $0, and $12,225, respectively from our metal cutting fuel sales operations.   The increase was due to the commencement of our operations.  We have fulfilled our initial orders and are currently processing and receiving orders from multiple customers.  To attract and attain new customers we have performed demonstrations and sent samples to prospective accounts.  We have completed our set up of our new facilities to fulfill future anticipated orders.     
  
Operating Expenses

Operating costs were incurred in the amount of $968,224, $420,448 and $1,390,522 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.   The increase was attributable to the issuance of common stock for services valued in the amount of $858,167 in 2008 compared to $245,000 in 2007.  Additionally, due to public filing requirements, there was an increase in professional fees of approximately $148,000 in 2008 from 2007.    

Net Loss

Net losses incurred in all periods presented have been primarily due to the operating costs.  The Company incurred net losses of $973,624, $420,621 and $1,399,897 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.  The increase in the year over year net loss was due primarily from general and administrative expenses, described above in the operating expense discussion, particularly professional services and stock-based compensation.  At this time, normal costs of   public filing will continue and it is not known when significant revenues will occur to off-set these expenses.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company is currently financing its operations primarily through cash generated by the sale of stock through a private offering.  We believe we can not currently satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash and expected revenues from our private placement and sales.  However, management plans to increase revenue and obtain additional financing in order to sustain operations for at least the next twelve months. We have already sold shares to support our continued operations. However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and growth.
 
-8-

 
In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we would then not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our services to cover our operating expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
 
As reflected in the financial statements, we are in the development stage, and have an accumulated deficit from inception of $1,399,897 and have a negative cash flow from operations of $318,368 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about it’s’ ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
At December 31, 2008 the Company had minimal cash and negative working capital resources to meet current obligations.  Subsequent to year end the company received a loan for $100,000 for working capital purposes from a majority shareholder.  The Company may rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses until operations commence.
 
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management Consideration of Alternative Business Strategies

In order to continue to protect and increase shareholder value management believes that it may, from time to time, consider alternative management strategies to create value for the company or additional revenues.  Strategies to be reviewed may include acquisitions; roll-ups; strategic alliances; joint ventures on large projects; and/or mergers.

Management will only consider these options where it believes the result would be to increase shareholder value while continuing the viability of the company.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in the Company’s notes to financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, which are contained in this filing, the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The significant accounting policies that are most critical and aid in fully understanding and evaluating the reported financial results include the following:

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services.  For these transactions the Company follows the guidance in EITF 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services".  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.  
 
-9-

 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other standard-setting bodies issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting standards during the year. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  These recently issued pronouncements have been addressed in the footnotes to the financial statements included in this filing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors
MagneGas Corporation
Palm Harbor, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MagneGas Corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  

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 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit 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 controls over financial reporting.   Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America  

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in footnote 3 to the financial statements, the Company has generated nominal revenue and has not established operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As a result of the transfer of ownership, effective April 2, 2007, the company issued   67,052,000 shares of common stock and 2,000 shares of preferred stock to founding members of the organization.   As the company determined that the common shares had no value, common stock and additional paid in capital were increased and decreased by the par value of the common stock.

In February 2008, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1 per share, as consideration for exclusive rights of an intangible license.   The intangible license triggered a consulting agreement and consideration included 100,000 shares of common stock issued at $1 per share.

December 28, 2008, the Company issued 30,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $.021 per share, as consideration for the purchase of intellectual property rights.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Three and Years Ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and
for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008
 
 1.        Background Information
 
MagneGas Corporation (the “Company”), formerly 4307, Inc., was organized in the state of Delaware on December 9, 2005 for the purpose of locating and negotiating with a business entity for a combination.

On April 2, 2007 (the "Effective Date"), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Clean Energies Tech Co. purchased a total of 100,000 shares (100%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company from Michael Raleigh, the sole officer, director and shareholder of the Company, for an aggregate of $30,000 in cash and the assumption of liabilities ($2,500). The total of 100,000 shares represented all of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer. 

Prior to the above transaction, Clean Energies Tech Co and the Company were essentially shell companies that were unrelated, with no assets, minimal liabilities, and no operations.  As a result, the 100% change in control was recorded as a private equity transaction, and no goodwill was recorded, as no assets were acquired and minimal liabilities were assumed.  On May 12, 2007, subsequent to the date of purchase, 67,052,000 shares of common stock were issued to founding members of the organization.  As the company determined that the shares had no value, stock and additional paid in capital were increased and decreased, respectively, by the par value of the stock issued.

Since the acquisition, the Company has adopted the operating plan and mission which is to provide services in cleaning and converting contaminated waste. A process has been developed which transforms contaminated waste through a proprietary incandescent machine. The result of the product is to carbonize waste for normal disposal. A by product of this process will produce an alternative MagneGas source.  The technology related to this process has been acquired from a Company, related by common management (see note 9).
 
2.         Development Stage Enterprise

The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on December 9, 2005.  It has primarily engaged in raising capital to carry out its business plan, as described above. The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities while it develops its customer base and establishes itself in the marketplace.  The Company's ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control.  If the Company is unable to implement its business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow, or achieve or sustain profitability, which would materially adversely affect its business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on any obligations it may incur.
 
3.         Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

The Company incurred a net loss of $977,426 and $1,399,897 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through the period ended December 31, 2008, respectively.  As of December 31, 2008 the Company had $160 of cash with which to satisfy any future cash requirements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company depends upon capital to be derived from future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its common stock or debt financing in order to operate and grow the business.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such capital.  The key factors that are not within the Company's control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of the Company's business plan, the ability to raise capital in the future, the ability to expand its customer base, and the ability to hire key employees to build and manufacture such proprietary machines to provide services.  There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
 
F-8


The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
4.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The significant accounting policies followed are:
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008; (b) the financial position at December 31, 2008, and (c) cash flows for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, have been made.
  
The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principals require management to make 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
FIN No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”) addresses the consolidation of entities to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority voting interest) of consolidation does not apply.  This interpretation focuses on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interest.  If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary is generally required to consolidate assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at fair value (or at historical cost if the entity is a related party) and subsequently account for the variable interest as if it were consolidated based on a majority voting interest.   The Company has not identified any entity that it is a primary beneficiary; therefore no consolidation is required.

The Company’s balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and note payable to stockholder. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization. The carrying values of the note payable to stockholder  approximates fair value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.

The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for the delivery of MagneGas sales to customers.   Revenue for metal-cutting fuel is recognized when shipments are made to customers. The Company recognizes a sale when the product has been shipped and risk of loss has passed to the customer.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.   Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices.  The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables.

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or market, which approximates actual cost. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory is comprised of filled cylinders of MagneGas and accessories (regulators and tips) available for sale.
 
F-9

 
Equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (five years for equipment).   The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of equipment existed at December 31, 2008.
 
During 2008, the Company recorded an intangible license for a total of $727,000 related to the Company's acquisition of intellectual property secured from a company related by common management (see Note 9).  The Company valued the license based on the value of the stock issued, as the Company believes that this is the more reliable measurement.  The intellectual property consists primarily of patents and patent applications, which the Company has estimated has a useful life of ten years.  The estimated amortization expense for the intangible license is expected to be $48,467 annually over the next five years and $478,556 in total thereafter.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented

The Company issues restricted stock to consultants for various services.  For these transactions the Company follows the guidance in EITF 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services".  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.   The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.  Stock compensation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were issued to consultants for past services provided, accordingly, all shares issued are fully vested, and there is no unrecognized compensation associated with these transactions.  For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (see note 9) for services to be rendered over a five year period.  The consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

The Company invoices it’s customers for the cost of shipping biogas cylinders for the metal cutting market.  Shipping costs are included in the cost of sales.
 
The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was $8,003 and $0 and $8,003 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.  Advertising expenses are included in the Company’s operating expenses.

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.

The Company follows SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares. There are no share equivalents and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

5.         Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
  
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141.  The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting.  It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred.  SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of its operations.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 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 effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of its operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160; Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, and amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interest.  Minority interest will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported as component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions.  In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the date of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively.  The Company is not part of a consolidating group and currently is not affected by this pronouncement.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures related to the use of derivative instruments, the accounting for derivatives and the financial statement impact of derivatives.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not impact the Company's financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not currently expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1 “Accounting for Convertible Debt instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. As we do not have convertible debt at this time, we currently believe the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have no effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 will have an impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
 
F-11

 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective retrospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Equipment sold in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 resulted in a loss of $2,757.  Depreciation of equipment was $520, $173 and $693 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.

Additionally, the Company owns intellectual property, which it is amortizing on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life.  The Company assesses fair market value for any impairment to the carrying values.  As of December 31, 2008 management concluded that there is no impairment to the intangible assets  Amortization of the intangible assets was $6,111, $0 and $6,111 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period December 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
7.         Income Tax

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating start-up losses generated since inception based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods.  The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not.  In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company incurred start-up losses of approximately $454,800.  These losses are capitalized as start up costs for tax purposes, to be amortized when the Company commences business operations.

The provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before taxes. The items causing this difference are as follows:

On October 3, 2008 the Company filed, on Form 8-K notice of change in our principal auditor.  There have been no disagreements with our successor or predecessor auditor regarding accounting and financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 3008.  The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 3008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective for the purposes for which it is intended.

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

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 3008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

·  
Accountability for adherence to the code.

Corporate Governance
 
We are a small reporting company, not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act respecting any director.  We have conducted special Board of Director meetings almost every month since inception.  Each of our directors has attended all meetings either in person or via telephone conference. We have no standing committees regarding audit, compensation or other nominating committees.   In addition to the contact information in private placement memorandum, each shareholder will be given specific information on how he/she can direct communications to the officers and directors of the corporation at our annual shareholders meetings.  All communications from shareholders are relayed to the members of the Board of Directors.

Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that as of the date of this report, our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

All Other Fees
 
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

-approved by our audit committee; or

-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does  not have  records of  what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
