PART I
 
Item 1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
 
History

KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (www.kmaglobalsolutions.com) is a corporation formed on March 9, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada. As described below, we entered into a merger transaction with Espo's, a non-SEC reporting corporation formed under the laws of the State of New York on September 7, 2001, and we were the surviving corporation. Espo's operated, since its inception, as a retail provider of sporting goods and athletic apparel, with a focus on aquatic sports products. The Company and its founders and shareholders had no relationship with Espo's and its founders prior to the merger. Shares of common stock of Espo's were quoted on the Pink Sheets of the National Quotation Bureau under the symbol “EPOL.” The Pink Sheets is a quotation service, not a formal exchange, and does not have quotation standards. An unaffiliated third-party introduced us to Espo's in order to enable us to achieve a merger with an entity that had shares of stock which were traded on the U.S. public securities markets, thereby offering the Company the opportunity to raise capital through the U.S. public securities markets.
 
Prior to and in anticipation of the merger transaction described below, a Stock Purchase Agreement, effective as of March 7, 2006 (the “March 7th Agreement”), was entered into between Espo's, Jeffrey R. Esposito and Kenneth C. Dollmann, each a holder of Espo's common stock, and 2095511 Ontario Limited, an Ontario, Canada corporation. Mr. Esposito and Mr. Dollmann, respectively sold 4,065,427 and 160,000 shares Espo's common stock to the following entities identified in the March 7 th Agreement: Brant Fellowship Holdings, Inc.; Candas Enterprises Corp.; Carrick Mortgage Holdings, Inc.; Culross Forwarding Limited; Greenock Export Holdings AG; Bedford Place Investments Ltd.; Brican Holdings Limited (collectively, the “Entities”). None of the Entities is a related person or affiliate of Espo's, Mr. Esposito, Mr. Dollmann, 2095511 Ontario Limited, or the Company, and none became a beneficial owner of greater than five percent of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock as result of the merger transaction and subsequent events described below.
 
 
1

 
 
It was the consensus of the Entities that, due to the logistics involved in coordinating their purchases of Espo's common stock and to process the documentation and secure the prompt execution of the March 7 th Agreement, it would be most efficient to rely on a single, special purpose company as a vehicle to close the transaction on their behalf. At the request of the Entities, 2095511 Ontario Limited, a limited corporation formed by Jeffrey D. Reid, the President of the Company, served as agent for the Entities to facilitate the closing of the March 7 th Agreement.
 
The Entities' respective purchases of common stock that were held by Messrs. Esposito and Dollman, totaled 4,225,427 out of the 4,920,250 issued and outstanding shares of Espo's common stock. Mr. Esposito continued to hold 8,823 restricted shares of Espo's common stock. The Entities acquired their shares of Espo’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate payment of $209,830 and their respective promises to provide, from time to time, advice to Espo's and its successors with respect to corporate and financial strategies and restructuring proposals, investor relations and shareholder communications services, and recommendations of potential funding sources, investment groups and strategic partners. Concurrent with the stock purchase transaction, and prior to the merger described below, Espo's transferred its assets and liabilities to other entities that were unaffiliated with the Company.
 
On March 8, 2006, to facilitate the merger transaction described below, Espo's issued 2,014,400 shares of common stock to bring its total issued and outstanding amount of common stock to 6,934,650. In connection with the overall capital restructuring transactions of Espo's and the Company, and in accordance with their representations and in consideration of the promises and conditions under the March 7th Agreement, the Entities had their 4,225,427 shares of Espo's common stock retired to treasury and cancelled. This left 2,709,223 shares of Espo's common stock issued and outstanding. In a separate set of transactions and as consideration for introducing the Company and Espo’s, the Entities acquired 686,000 shares of Espo's common stock from various Espo’s holders.
 
On March 10, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reincorporation - Merger with Espo's, whereby Espo's was merged with and into the Company, and in which the Company, a Nevada corporation, became the surviving entity (the “Merger”).
 
In effecting the Merger, each of the 2,709,223 issued and outstanding shares of Espo's common stock, was converted into one share of our Common Stock, and Espo's ceased to exist. The Company’s Common Stock currently is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “KMAG.” 
 
On March 15, 2006, we entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with KMA Global Solutions Inc., a corporation formed in April 1996 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“KMA (Canada)”). KMA (Canada) is a provider of diversified electronic article surveillance (“EAS”) solutions for retail security applications in a variety of consumer industries, including apparel, multimedia, sporting goods, grocery and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, and offers technology-driven integrated supply chain solutions to secure goods for retailers and consumer-product distributors worldwide. On March 1, 2006, the issued and outstanding common shares of KMA (Canada) were subject to a reverse stock split at a ratio of five (5) shares to one (1), reducing the number of its common shares outstanding from 10,072,000 to 2,014,400.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of KMA (Canada) in exchange for 2,014,400 shares of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, we purchased the remaining 314,400 shares of KMA (Canada) common shares from the minority shareholders of KMA (Canada) in exchange for an equal number of shares of our Common Stock.
 
In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, we formed KMA Global Solutions, LLC., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Nevada (“KMA LLC”), with the Company as its single member. KMA LLC is a special purpose entity with the sole purpose of facilitating Canadian income tax efficiencies for existing shareholders of KMA (Canada). In connection with its formation, 1,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued to KMA LLC in exchange for 100% of its membership interests.
 
Contemporaneously with the issuance of 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock to KMA LLC, we entered into an Exchange and Support Agreement dated March 14, 2006 (the “Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, KMA LLC, KMA Acquisition Exchangeco, Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Exchangeco”), and certain shareholders of KMA (Canada) subject to Canadian taxation. These KMA (Canada) shareholders elected to receive securities (“Exchangeable Shares”) issued by Exchangeco (each a “Holder”) in order to defer income recognition for Canadian tax purposes. The Exchange Agreement provides that the Company and KMA LLC grant each Holder the right to require the Company or KMA LLC to purchase from any of such Holder all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Holder, in consideration for some or all of the Company's 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock held by KMA LLC. KMA LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Exchangeco is related to the Company only in that it has a contractual arrangement with KMA LLC to exchange the shares KMA LLC currently owns of the Company. Jeffrey D. Reid is an officer and director of Exchangeco. Mr. Reid indirectly owns 1,520,000 common shares of the Company, he is an indirect control person of KMA LLC by virtue of his control position in the Company, and he is an officer and a director of Exchangeco, which is related to the Company only in that it has a contractual arrangement with KMA LLC to exchange the shares of the Company that KMA LLC currently owns.
 
On March 17, 2006, the Company effected a stock split in the form of a share dividend. This was accomplished by the issuance of seventeen shares of Common Stock for each share of issued and outstanding Common Stock on a pro rata basis and without consideration to the Company's stockholders. To provide consistent disclosure, the amounts of shares discussed hereafter will reflect the post-split amounts, unless specified otherwise. The 8,823 escrowed shares held by Jeffrey R. Esposito became 149,991 shares of Common Stock. The 686,000 shares held by the Entities became 11,662,000 shares of Common Stock on a post-split basis. The 314,400 shares of Common Stock held by the KMA (Canada) shareholders became 5,344,800 shares on a post-split basis. Under the terms of the agreement between the KMA (Canada) shareholders and the Company, these 5,344,800 shares of Common Stock were retired to treasury and cancelled and the KMA (Canada) shareholders received 1,179,000 post-split shares of Common Stock.

(Barbados) is intended to be established under the laws of Barbados as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMA (Canada) with the purpose of overseeing the Company's operations outside of the United States and Canada and to hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Limited (Hong Kong), a manufacturing entity formed under the laws of Hong Kong. We also intend to form additional overseas subsidiaries as our business grows.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) Industry

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) is a technology used primarily to prevent shoplifting from retail establishments by alerting the retailer to the unauthorized removal of merchandise. Special tags (like the products that KMA sells) are affixed to the product or to its packaging.  At point of sale, the special tag is deactivated or “turned off.”  At the exits of stores, detection equipment sounds an alarm to alert staff when an active tag is detected.  The theory is that a properly purchased item will have a special tag that is deactivated or “turned off,” while the tag on a shoplifted product will still be active or “live.”  
 
Using an EAS system enables the retailer to display and allow customer access to popular items. Products can be examined and handled, rather than kept in locked cases or behind the sales counter. The two leading technologies comprising most EAS systems in use throughout the world are Acousto-Magnetic (“AM”) and Radio Frequency (“RF”). Each has specific benefits and disadvantages. Although similar in operation, these two EAS systems operate on different principles and are not compatible with one another.
 
Industry sources estimate that the value of goods that are taken without being paid for, known as “shrink,” is an approximate $108 billion per year problem (including the cost of prevention) for the global retail industry. Shrink is caused primarily by shoplifting and employee theft. EAS solutions are designed to act as a deterrent to control the problem of merchandise theft. 
 
EAS system components typically include:
 
1)  
Labels or Hard Tags - electronic sensors attached to merchandise;
2)  
Deactivators or Detachers - used at the point of sale to electronically deactivate labels and detach reusable hard tags as items are purchased; and
3)  
Detectors - that create a detection area at exits or other sensitive locations. 

As a provider of EAS solutions, including security source tagging for a variety of retail industries, our products are designed to consolidate discrete RF and AM technology requirements to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and provide value-added solutions for customers across many geographic markets in a variety of industries, including but not limited to apparel, food, over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, health and beauty aids, and sporting goods.
 
Our EAS solutions are comprised of a proprietary line of custom tags and labels, which contain sensors designed to provide a comprehensive, single-source solution for protection against retail merchandise theft. Our tags and labels are specialized for a variety of applications including, adhesive labels for use on product packaging or tags designed to be sewn directly onto retail apparel. The Company's proprietary, low cost solutions serve to reduce consumer and employee theft, prevent inventory shrink, and enable retailers to capitalize on consumer buying patterns and habits by openly displaying high-margin and high-cost items typically subjected to a high level of shoplifting and employee theft. We offer a wide variety of EAS solutions to meet the varied requirements of retail configurations for multiple market segments worldwide.
 
In addition, the Company is an authorized distributor of Sensormatic sensors in raw form. These sensors are the basic component of one type of EAS tag or label. Retail stores are responsible for outfitting their own premises with an EAS system, including sensor detection and deactivation equipment that corresponds to their EAS technology of choice, either RF of AM technology. The Company also sells equipment necessary to deactivate the EAS tags to manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers and distributors that need to deactivate either the AM sensor or the RF sensor before shipping product tagged with DualTags to a particular retailer only using one of the two technologies in its stores. Sales of deactivation equipment represent a small fraction of the Company's revenues. The Company does not sell the equipment necessary to establish an EAS system to retailers.

RF systems are widely used by retailers around the world. A RF label, is essentially a miniature, disposable electronic circuit and antenna, which is attached to a product. The device responds to a specific frequency emitted by a transmitter antenna located at the entry/exit point. The response from the label is then picked up by an adjacent receiver antenna. This will trigger an alarm when it matches specific criteria. Operating frequencies for RF systems generally range from 2 to 10 MHz.
 
The newer, AM systems have the ability to protect wide exits. AM systems use a transmitter to create a surveillance area where tags and labels are detected. The transmitter sends a pulsating acousto-magnetic frequency signal (of about 58 kHz) which energizes a tag in the surveillance zone. When the pulse ends, the tag responds, emitting a single frequency signal like a tuning fork that is detected by a receiver. A microcomputer checks the tag signal detected by the receiver to ensure it is at the right frequency and time-synchronizes the receiver to the transmitter, at the proper level and at the correct repetition rate. If all these criteria are properly met, the alarm is triggered.
 
Our patented DualTag TM contains the key elements of both RF and AM technologies, which enables retail suppliers to apply both technologies to the packaging or product simultaneously, in a single pass through the production line. This single pass application reduces the cost that would otherwise be incurred to attach each technology separately. Further, having both technologies attached to each item eliminates the need for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors to carry multiple inventories that differ only by EAS technology, and eliminates the risk of improperly shipping goods with RF tags to retailers requiring AM tags and vice versa.
 
Retailers and manufacturers have become increasingly focused on protecting assets that move through the retail supply chain. Radio Frequency Identification tags (commonly referred to as “RFID”) can be used to track inventory from manufacturer to retailer (and ultimately to the consumer and through the waste processing stream), as well as for tracking products within a given retail location. To address this market opportunity, we have received patents incorporating RFID into our current solutions in anticipation of the retail market’s eventual transition to item-level use of RFID. We intend to continue to build infrastructure, add key personnel, develop proprietary label and tag manufacturing equipment, and open branch offices in strategic locations throughout the world, in order to prepare for and take advantage of the opportunity to be a major source for both EAS and RFID solutions worldwide.
 

Principal Products

Our EAS solutions are comprised of sensor tags and labels designed to provide a comprehensive, single-source solution for protection against retail merchandise theft. The Company's proprietary, low cost solutions, serve to reduce consumer and employee theft, prevent inventory shrink, and enable retailers to capitalize on consumer buying patterns and habits by openly displaying high-margin and high-cost items typically subjected to a high level of shoplifting and employee theft. We offer a wide variety of EAS solutions to meet the varied requirements of retail configurations for multiple market segments worldwide.
 
The following information describes our product lines, with their respective characteristics and uses:
 
Source Tagging Solutions - As its name implies, source tagging is the embedding of EAS security labels at either the point of manufacture or packaging to allow delivery of floor or display ready merchandise to the retail store. Under a source tagging program, tags are integrated into automated production processes and applied in primary packaging or within or on the product itself either under branding labels or prominently displayed.

o
DualTag™ - combines both AM and RF technologies in a high speed single-pass label. A single-pass label is a label that enables multiple EAS technologies to be applied or attached to an item at the same time in order that an item does not have to be processed more than once in order to affix the appropriate EAS technology. High speed application is the process of attaching one tag or label per item at a very rapid pace, usually in an automated production environment. We offer several configurations of DualTag™ to suit a variety of requirements. The ability to affix or insert tags and labels quickly enables manufacturers, suppliers and distributors to deliver items tagged with EAS labels on a “just in time” basis and at a lower cost per unit than if the labels had to be applied manually or by multiple runs through the application equipment.
 
  o
Triple Tag™ - combines both AM and RF technologies, in addition to RFID technology, in a single-pass label. As a technology that incorporates the use of electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to uniquely identify an object, animal, or person, RFID is coming into increasing use as an alternative to the Universal Product Code (also referred to as “UPC” or “bar code”) as a means of providing unique product identification, without the need for direct contact or line-of-sight scanning.
 
Sew-On Source Tagging Solutions - we provide manufacturers of soft-goods with an affordable and effective EAS solution. Tested and certified by ADT Sensormatic Systems Inc. (“Sensormatic ™”), for AM systems, and Checkpoint Systems, Inc., for RF systems, within retailer guidelines and located on the particular garment as approved, directed or specified by the retailers, our soft-goods source tagging solutions include:
 
 
o
Original NEXTag™- our original design and, we believe, the most popular sew-on tag in the industry. Available in a variety of colors, we consider it to be the best value for most garment and home fashion applications.
 
 
o
NEXTag™ Slimline - Tyvek® (an E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company fabric) tag manufactured to a narrower width than the original design of the NEXTag™; designed for intimate apparel, this product is appropriate for any application where size is a constraint.
 
 
o
NEXTag™ Jean - for the denim industry for tacking or stapling directly under the vendor tag that includes size, style number, bar code, retailer's variable data known as a “joker” tag (joker tags are usually sewn into a garment in the waist band, inside seam or bottom of a sleeve of a garment). The NEXTag™ Jean is “denim blue” in color and about twice the size of our original NEXTag™.
 
 
o
NEXTag™ Woven - a premium EAS label of high quality woven fabric. This premium quality label is well suited for decoration with logos, slogans and other graphics required to enhance merchandising appeal.

 
Drop-in Source Tagging Solutions - this is an EAS tagging solution that is not affixed to the item or the packaging, but rather dropped “loosely” inside the product packaging or hidden in compartments, such as garment pockets or battery compartments in items requiring batteries such as digital cameras. This solution is an affordable, labor-saving hard goods EAS solution. Tested and certified by Sensormatic™ and approved and specified by major retailers as a source tagging solution; includes:
 
  o  
Original NEXTag™- as described above
 
 
o
NEXTag™ SlimlineTyvek® - as described above

o
Luggage Tag - tear resistant vinyl tag designed for “swift-attached” applications; and
 
 
o
Logo Tag - printed paper hang tag that is plastic laminated, to significantly improve tear resistance; applications include branded apparel, children and infant apparel, footwear and sunglasses.

Adhesive Source Tagging Solutions -
 
  
o
Meat Tag - specialized adhesive in a microwave-safe Sensormatic™ label or in a moisture-proof, microwave safe RF version for packaged meat or frozen food applications; and
 
 
o
Foamback Tag - able to maintain sensor function in metallic applications; flexibility of a foam backing also enables effective placement on concave or convex surfaces.
 
Custom Source Tagging Solutions - customized products designed to address unique source tagging requirements, such as limited size or space, concave surfaces or microwave environments.
 
Sensormatic TM Label Distributor - the Company is also an authorized distributor of Sensormatic™ EAS labels. The Sensormatic EAS label is an AM label and can be found inside some of our products such as our DualTag™. We also act as a distributor of Sensormatic's TM EAS labels in the non-installed or “raw” form so that our customers can affix the label directly onto their products before sending them to the retailer. Manufacturers, suppliers and distributors buy the raw Sensormatic™ sensor from us and affix them to the inside of their packaging using our labels, thus making the merchandise source tagging compliant for the retail customer.
 
Principal Markets

We market our products to retailers that have a need to protect their merchandise from theft. Many of our customers include apparel manufacturers located in South and East Asia, the Middle East, as well as Central and South America.  We also often deal with manufacturer’s agents.  Li & Fung, for example, is one of the largest apparel buying agencies located in Hong Kong, and are vendors to international retailers who have EAS systems installed throughout their stores in various countries throughout the world. Our current principal geographic markets include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Israel, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Dubai, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Brazil.
 
To initiate a source tagging program, the retailer will typically have EAS systems installed in most but not necessarily all of the stores that handle the targeted merchandise. This allows the merchandise to be accepted at the individual store and be ready for sale immediately. If a particular store does not have an EAS system in place, KMA has developed a bulk deactivation device which permits deactivation of case sized lots of source tagged merchandise at the distribution point prior to shipment to the unequipped retail store.
 
Suppliers to retailers become our primary customer once a particular retailer has approved or indicated a preference for the use of one or more of our solutions. In some cases, we enjoy exclusivity as our patents ensure that we are the only supplier of certain EAS solutions. We sell the actual approved solutions to the vendors to retailers in the particular country where the product is manufactured. The term “EAS source-tagging” is used where tags are applied at the source of manufacture. Source-tagging refers to the attachment of EAS tags at the source of production of the retail item where it is least expensive to do so.
 
 
 
 
We market EAS products primarily to retailers in the hard goods market (supermarkets, drug stores, mass merchandisers, and music/electronics), soft goods market (fashion and athletic apparel, sports merchandise), and other consumer product manufacturers through our source-tagging program.

RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification) incorporates a tag containing a microchip and antenna and is capable of storing a limited amount of unique information, usually used to identity the contents of a case or pallet to which it is affixed.  Through the use of a specific reader antenna and specialized software, a RFID tag will release the information contained within its “memory” when requested to do so, usually when passing a particular control point such as a loading dock door. RFID has become popular within the supply chain and logistics operations of many industries, including retail, as it provides a more efficient and accurate means of both storing and collecting information about the inventory or assets in a given environment or in transit between facilities.  While currently most commonly used to identify larger amounts of product such as a case lot, pallet or container, it is widely anticipated to transition into use as a unique identifier on individual products.
 
We anticipate that the use of RFID technology will see significant growth over the next five to ten years. As the technology continues to improve and the per-unit cost of tags continues to decrease, RFID will begin to play a much larger role in supply chain management. In response to the demand of industry groups to introduce a RFID integrated tag to the retail supply chain, we have made the strategic decision to expand our EAS products to incorporate RFID technology.
 
RFID usage recently received a significant push when the United States Department of Defense and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. separately issued mandates requiring their largest suppliers to use Electronic Product Code open standard RFID tagging on pallets, cases, containers and parts, by January 2005. Each of these enormous organizations see significant benefits in the ability to uniquely identify products in their inventory, manage and track that inventory, realize lower costs and increase supply chain efficiencies. Through their vast buying power, each of these two very different organizations has a major influence on their respective suppliers.
 
According to Analyst Perspectives’, the worldwide market for  RFID in manufacturing will jump from $208.8 million in 2006 to $319.5 million by 2011. During this period, the technology is expected to appear in many industries with significant impact on the efficiency of business processes. Another RFID industry research and consulting firm, IDTechEx, forecasts the overall RFID market to reach $5.29 Billion during 2008, an estimated growth of more than 7% over the total achieved in 2007.
 
Our ongoing strategy is to participate in the expanding RFID market as a core vendor to the pool of suppliers that sell to a particular retailer or chain of retailers (the so-called “vendor population”). KMA (Canada) currently delivers EAS solutions to this market and will develop RFID solutions that are specific to the needs of each vendor.
 
Presently, we have the ability to add RFID technology to our current DualTag™ product lines creating a Triple Tag TM , which will enable high-volume, single-pass application of RFID-integrated EAS tags at the unit level. The Triple Tag TM can employ both AM and/or RF technologies in addition to RFID technology which may then be applied to packaging simultaneously in a single production run rather than in separate, duplicate runs. We have the opportunity to evolve with the marketplace to become a leader in RFID tagging by leveraging existing retail relationships and knowledge of EAS technologies to assist retailers and manufacturers in the emerging RFID market. At the present time, the Company does not earn revenues from sales of RFID as the current high price of RFID tags makes use of the technology prohibitive for our customers. Further, we do not offer any discrete RFID technology to our customers. However, upon further development of this application of RFID resulting in a lower price per unit, we may incorporate this technology in our product line. If that does happen, we anticipate that we will source RFID tags from one of a number of high quality, low cost producers as and when our customers require. While we currently have the ability to add RFID technology by adding an RFID tag to our DualTag™, our expertise at this time is not specifically in the manufacture of RFID tags. As part of our long term planning, we may consider the acquisition of an RFID integrator if demand for Triple Tags TM reaches such critical mass that it becomes cost effective to do so. There is no guarantee that we will seek to acquire a manufacturer of RFID tags or that a company will be available for purchase at a reasonable price, should we decide to attempt to do so.
 
 
 
 
 
Our business strategy focuses on providing comprehensive, single-source solutions in the prevention of retail merchandise theft. We believe that new RFID integrated solutions and expanded product offerings will provide significant opportunities to enhance the value of legacy products while expanding the product base in existing customer accounts. We intend to maintain our leadership position in the soft goods markets, expand our market share in certain key hard goods markets, and maximize our position in under-penetrated markets with customized solutions. We also intend to capitalize on our existing base of large global retailers to further promote source tagging opportunities.
 
To achieve these objectives, we plan to work to continually enhance and expand our technologies and products, and provide superior service to our customers. We are focused on providing our customers with a wide variety of EAS solutions characterized by superior quality, on time delivery, exceptional value, and enhanced merchandising opportunities for the retailer.
 
To improve profitability, we have initiated strategic expansion of our operations globally to further improve operating margins, shareholder value, and customer focus. Our development plans will include improvement of sales productivity and we intend to analyze and, where necessary, reconfigure our manufacturing and supply chain to better position ourselves in the market.
 
Marketing Strategy
 
We primarily promote our products to retailers by offering what we believe is the lowest cost loss prevention solution, on-time delivery, and acting as a single point of contact for our client's EAS needs. In emphasizing source-tagging benefits as a cost and labor-efficient means of integrating EAS into the retail environment, we assist retailers in promoting source-tagging with vendors.
 
Our ongoing strategies to increase acceptance of source-tagging include partnering with major retail suppliers, worldwide. We offer customized EAS tag solutions to address needs of recognized branding and loss prevention, and continue to expand product applications to accommodate the needs of the packaging industry. Implementation using efficient high-speed production and high-volume capacity supports our reputation with retail suppliers for reliable on-time delivery and superior service.
 
We intend to continue this marketing strategy, expanding market opportunities to manufacturers and distributors. One of our objectives is to launch industry-wide programs to secure new retail accounts and expand existing accounts with innovative and customized products that will increase penetration with integrated value-added solutions. We plan to promote source-tagging around the world with extensive integration and automation using new EAS and RFID support capabilities.

Distribution

During the past fiscal year, we opened a new facility in Hong Kong, which serves not only as a warehousing and distribution point for our Asian customers, but is now the principal manufacturing point for KMA’s sew-in solution for the world market.  Our Hong Kong facility also houses our Asian sales and customer service teams providing local and regional customers direct access to KMA and a timely response to their needs. To improve our sales efficiency, future expansion plans include offices and distribution and/or manufacturing centers in Europe, India and Mexico, which will enable the Company to further reduce shipping costs and build on its strong reputation for guaranteed, on-time delivery.
 
Our expansion plan is structured to seize on the obvious advantages associated with being located close to our ultimate customer and, where possible, reducing costs associated with manufacturing, freight as well as taxes and duties.
 
In Hong Kong, we are able to import to and export from China tax-free, based on Hong Kong's status as a Special Administrative Region of China. When manufacturing in Hong Kong and then importing to China, there are reduced and/or duty-free import of our finished products. We manufacture and warehouse our products in Hong Kong and ship to China with an import tax paid by our customer which reflects a dramatic reduction from the 17% duty charged to our customers when we shipped them Canadian made product. We can also reduce our overall freight cost as well as reduce some of our current overhead in inventory by manufacturing and delivering “just in time.”
 
Mexico is a major manufacturing center to North American retailers. We continue to consider setting up a subsidiary in either Mexico or another Central American location to be closer to our customer source. This once again will give us preferential duty rates into these growing supplier markets.
 
With respect to the United States, our plan is to produce our DualTag™ products closer to our customer base and reduce the costs associated with operating in Canada. Currently, labor rates, real estate expenses and taxes are lower in the U.S. as compared to Canada. Our long term plan is to move our head offices to the United States to take advantage of these cost efficiencies and to be closer to the head offices of large North American retailers. At the present time, steps leading to relocation are underway, and are expected to be completed during the coming fiscal year.
 
Research and Development

Since the inception of our operating subsidiary, KMA (Canada), we have dedicated significant time and effort to the development of innovative products and production equipment to meet the needs of an evolving market. These R&D activities focus on the improvement of process performance, continued broadening of the product lines, cost reductions of the current product lines, and expansion of the markets and applications for our products. No R&D costs are borne directly by our customers. Our future growth in revenues will be dependent, in part, on the products and technologies that result from these R&D efforts.
 
In response to retail industry demand for a universal tagging solution compatible with both AM and RF technologies, we developed the DualTag™. In the past, retailers would purchase EAS tags that were compatible with the type of EAS deactivators that were in place at the point of purchase and the system of EAS readers in place at entrances and exits. Manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors were required to keep duplicate inventories of their products for delivery to retailers having either AM or RF technology installed in their stores. The DualTag™ eliminates the need for duplicate supply chain inventories and is the only available EAS solution combining both leading EAS technologies in a high speed, single pass application.
 
We continue to review our product portfolio and rationalize our production facilities and global supply chain, anticipating opportunities for greater efficiency and cost reduction. Future development and expansion of our product lines is expected with improved high-speed production processes, customized tags and selection, and EAS-RFID integration.
 
 
 
 
Competition

Factors that we consider in evaluating our competition include (i) production capacity, (ii) delivery time, and (iii) proprietary patented and patent pending processes and products. Although we have no significant or direct competition in the EAS market, largely as a result of our proprietary designs along with patents issued or pending, other providers may offer security solutions carrying exclusively RF or AM technology in the form of an adhesive or a hard security tag. Our principal competitor in the retail and apparel manufacturing industries is Paxar Corporation, which was recently acquired by Avery-Dennison, which provides merchandising systems including woven labels and tags used to identify brand apparel or printed labels with bar codes.
 
Within the emerging RFID market, there are many companies seeking a niche in which they hope to meet the expected needs of one or more markets that they anticipate will merge in the future.  Sentry Technology Corporation, I.D. Systems, Inc. and Zebra Technologies Corporation to name just a few, use RFID technology to provide systems for in store surveillance, asset management and monitoring, inventory control and distribution management, and related software. These companies are not considered to be direct competition however, they do offer solutions related to security.
 
Sentry Technology Corporation engages in the design, sale, installation and servicing of radio frequency and electro-magnetic EAS systems, and closed circuit television solutions (CCTV) in the United States and Canada. Its EAS systems are used for radio frequency and ranger detection, as well as electromagnetic detection. The company also distributes EAS systems and provides access control readers, controllers, and software for card holders, as well as wireless electronic data collection system for library management, warehousing, parcel tracking, inventory control and asset protection.
 
Zebra Technologies Corporation engages in the design, manufacture, and support of a range of direct thermal and thermal-transfer label and receipt printers, RFID printer/encoders, dye sublimation card printers, and digital photo printers.
 
ID Systems Inc. provides wireless solutions for corporate asset management. It designs, develops and produces wireless monitoring and tracking products utilizing a radio-frequency-based system. Its Wireless Asset Net fleet management system provides wireless vehicle access control to restrict access of equipment to trained and authorized personnel; electronic vehicle inspection checklists; early detection of emerging vehicle safety issues; and impact sensing to assign responsibility for accidents, as well as automate and enforce preventative maintenance.
 
We address our competition by seeking to offer a more diverse range of EAS tagging solutions than our competitors, with a variety of low-cost EAS tags and labels, as well as customizable tags for complex non-standard product packaging. We protect our patents and licensing arrangements to forestall infringement. As a result, we seek to maintain a competitive advantage by marketing our products primarily on the basis of our versatility, exceptional affordability, and strong reputation among our customers for reliable, on-time delivery and ease of integration into operations with source tagging.
 
Manufacturing, Raw Materials, and Inventory

KMA (Canada) and KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd. our current operating subsidiaries, drive the design and development of products and processes involving our customers, manufacturing and marketing. We purchase raw materials and components from suppliers and complete the production process at our facilities in Ontario, Canada and in Hong Kong. KMA relies primarily on EAS sensor suppliers such as Checkpoint Systems, Inc. for the RF component and ADT-Sensormatic Electronics. for the AM component. We utilize sophisticated real-time inventory management and logistics to keep inventories to a minimum.

Our manufacturing strategy for EAS products is to rely primarily on in-house capability and to vertically integrate manufacturing operations to the extent that is economically beneficial. Vertical integration refers to the case when two firms, one of which supplies a product to the other, merge into a single firm. Our existing in-house capability, together with the likelihood of future vertical integration, will provide significant control over costs, quality, and responsiveness to market demand which we believe results in a distinct competitive advantage.
 
Dependence on Customers

We are a preferred supplier of EAS solutions to customers around the world in a variety of industries involved in retail merchandising businesses. “Preferred supplier” is an industry term meaning that retailers indicate a preference as to their suppliers and the company from which the supplier sources its EAS tagging solution. Our status as a “preferred supplier” is, however, informal as it has not been set forth in any binding agreement. In general, customers are free to choose to source EAS tags from other than a preferred EAS tagging supplier.
 
We do not have a standardized customer contract - each agreement is negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Most of our customer agreements have a term of twelve months, are generally nonexclusive agreements, and are typically subject to termination by either party upon a given notification period (generally thirty days). The payment terms are generally thirty-days net.
 
Our customers include suppliers to retail apparel and sporting goods stores, some of the largest producers of electronic games supplied to multimedia retailers, the largest retail food chains in both the US and Canada, the largest “do-it-yourself” hardware and garden center chains, and major suppliers of nutriceutical and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals.  Apparel market customers have primarily been the largest discount retailers in North America and private label and designer retailers that use source-tagging on a portion or segment of their apparel line. We are dealing with major private label retailers with a focus on programs protecting a substantial percentage of their goods with source-tagging.
 
The Company continues to promote its solutions to retailers who need to reduce their losses due to shrinkage. In most instances, our typical customer is the supplier to the retailer and/or its associated packager or manufacturer. No one client of the Company contributes more than 5% of the company's revenues. It is difficult to predict the future importance of any one or more of our customers. With that in mind, we continually seek to build a customer base that is sufficiently diverse so that our business is not materially dependent on any one or few customers. Our customer base, especially in the apparel industry, typically establishes large private-label manufacturing programs for which we are frequently named as an “approved supplier” of EAS source tagging solutions. This private label manufacturing trend is generating the need for us to position distribution and/or manufacturing facilities in strategic countries to facilitate the supply of our products to the manufacturers at the lowest possible cost and meet demand for prompt delivery schedules.
 
The DualTag™was originally concentrated in the multimedia marketplace. This market is experiencing some reduction at retail due to the trend of making purchases via the Internet; however, we have found that the OTC drug and food supplement market has a need to use our technology as well as the potential future need for our proposed new Triple Tag TM that includes RFID. This market demand stems from the major retailers in this segment having installed a roughly even split of both RF and AM technologies. We are promoting our solutions to the brand owners and their related packaging companies.
 
We also promote DualTag™ directly to packagers and brand owners that have made a commitment to the retail market to provide source-tagged merchandise, but due to the split in technology use, find it necessary to apply two labels to most or all of their production.  DualTag™ achieves the same level of compliance more efficiently and can be applied more quickly, therefore providing operational savings to this sector.

Other solutions, such as our Grocery Label, began via direct sales and in-store applications; therefore, we had direct sales efforts with the individual store manager to promote the use of our solution. This has evolved as our solution became a commodity and is now sold via the retailer's distribution company.  Our Grocery Label or GSL has spawned an offshoot product that is similar in design and can be applied by the retailer directly to packaged goods.  Currently, our General Merchandise Label or GML is being used on a variety of goods that include home décor, bedding, fragrances and other packaged goods, as well as shoes in a variety of retail formats.
 
Technology: Intellectual Property

As of May 1, 2008, KMA (Canada) owned or was the assignee of active patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (as well as corresponding foreign patents granted in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Mexico). These patents relate to a sew-on security label, which anticipates and incorporates RFID technology, and improvements and the manufacturing process thereof. KMA (Canada) also has recently been granted a patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office, concerning our DualTag™ product. Corresponding foreign patent applications in Mexico, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom and Canada relating to the dual technology EAS label and high speed process, which anticipates and incorporates RFID technology, and improvements thereof continue in process. Despite achieving the recent milestone with the USPTO, there can be no assurance that further patents will be issued to KMA (Canada) on any of its pending applications.
 
The majority of our revenues are derived from products or technologies which are patented,; however, there can be no assurance that a competitor could not develop products comparable to those of the Company. Although, the patent protection of our technologies is an important aspect of our business and future growth opportunities, the Company's distinct competitive advantage is based on our extensive manufacturing experience and know-how of current and developing EAS technology.
 
Government Regulation; Need for Government Approvals

The Company's products are compliant with all applicable FCC and DOC regulations in the United States and Canada governing radio frequencies, signal strengths, and conform to environmental regulations in all territories in which they operate. Our products are also compliant with applicable requirements published by ETSI in Europe. We carry the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for ISO 9001:2000 certification and, at present, no government approvals for our products are required.
 
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
There are no material costs or effects of compliance under any applicable environmental laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
 
Employees

As of May 15 2008, Jeffrey D. Reid, William Randal Fisher, Normand Nowlan, Laura Wilkes and Scott Dixon are the only employees of the Company, and KMA (Canada) and KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd. combined had sixteen full-time personnel.
 
Seven of the latter individuals are full-time employees located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and the remaining nine are full-time employees located in Hong Kong.
 
Upon our establishment of U.S.-based operations and the relocation of our headquarters to the United States, the Company anticipates hiring additional employees in a variety of roles, as the business expands.

Canadian Jurisdictional Issues

The Company's operating subsidiary, KMA (Canada), is currently located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Many of the Company's key executive officers and majority shareholders are citizens of and reside in Canada, and, as a result, it may not be possible for U.S. or other non-Canadian purchasers to effect service of process within the United States upon KMA (Canada) or such persons. All or a substantial portion of our assets and such persons may be located within Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the issuer or such persons in Canada based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against KMA (Canada) or persons in Canada based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. The ability of the Company's non-Canadian investors to effect service of process within the United States on KMA (Canada) or an officer or shareholder of KMA (Canada) located in Canada may also be limited.

Item 5.    MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY , RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERSAND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

Our Common Stock is quoted for trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. Prior to the Company's merger with Espo's, Espo's common stock traded under the symbol “EPOL”. Effective on March 27, 2006, the symbol was changed to “KMAG.”
 
The following tables set forth the quarterly high and low daily bids for our Common Stock as reported by Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company beginning with the quarter ended April 30, 2006. Historical information with respect to Espo's common stock prices is not relevant as to the Company's stock price due to the substantial change to the business of the Company post-merger. The bids reflect inter-dealer prices without adjustments for retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. It should be noted that the prices listed for the Common Stock may not be a reliable indicator of their value due to the fact that the Pink Sheets have no listing standards and the volume of sales for shares of Common Stock has been inconsistent since they commenced trading.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
Espo's had sold securities from time to time in private placements since its inception pursuant to the exemptions for nonpublic offerings under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
The Company had issued securities in connection with its merger with Espo's and for various services rendered and to be rendered pursuant to the exemption for non-public offerings under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as described below. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. No underwriter or placement agent was engaged in these transactions.
 
1)  
After its formation, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reincorporation Merger as of March 10, 2006, with Espo's. Pursuant to the merger, in which the Company was the surviving entity, the Company issued 4,920,250 shares of Common Stock. The consideration for the Company's shares was an equal number of Espo's shares of common stock, of which 4,225,427 shares of Common Stock were cancelled, leaving a balance of 694,823 shares of Common Stock. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of 1933 Act, which provides an exemption from the registration provisions of section 5 of the 1933 Act for “transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.” The exchange of securities was made without advertising (or any other form of “general solicitation”) to a limited number of sophisticated persons, with full access to the information that would be included in a registration statement or other offering document. Each purchaser, either alone or with their purchaser representatives and professional advisors, was determined by the Company, based on their prior securities experience, to have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.
 
2)  
On March 15, 2006, the Company entered into the Acquisition Agreement to acquire KMA (Canada) pursuant to which the Company issued 314,400 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of KMA (Canada) in exchange for an equal amount of KMA (Canada) common stock. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. The exchange of securities was made without advertising (or any other form of “general solicitation”) to a limited number of sophisticated persons, with full access to the information that would be included in a registration statement or other offering document. Each purchaser, either alone or with their purchaser representatives, had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The consideration for the Company’s shares was an equal number of shares of KMA (Canada) common stock.

3)  
In connection with the March 15 th Acquisition Agreement, the Company formed KMA LLC as a special purpose entity with the Company as its single member and the holder of all of KMA LLC's outstanding interests. The Company issued 1,700,000 shares of its common stock to KMA LLC. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act. The exchange of securities was made without advertising (or any other form of “general solicitation”) to a limited number of sophisticated persons, with full access to the information that would be included in a registration statement or other offering document. Each purchaser, either alone or with their purchaser representatives, had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The consideration for the issuance of the Company's shares was not cash, but an equal number of shares of KMA (Canada) common stock. The transaction was undertaken to facilitate the deferral of income recognition for Canadian tax purposes for the shareholders of Exchangeco.
 
4)  
In order to enhance the liquidity of the Company's common stock, the Company effected a share dividend or “stock split” on March 17, 2006. This event was accomplished by the issuance of seventeen shares of Company common stock for each share of issued and outstanding Company common stock on a pro rata basis and without consideration to the Company's stockholders. As per an agreement between the KMA (Canada) shareholders and the Company, 5,344,800 shares of the Company's common stock were retired to treasury and cancelled and the KMA (Canada) shareholders received 1,179,000 post-split shares of Company common stock. As a result of these transactions, the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of April 30, 2006 were 41,890,991. The forward stock split was exempt from registration with the Commission pursuant to Securities Act Section 3(a)(9).
 
In the following transactions, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of 1933 Act, which provides an exemption from the registration provisions of section 5 of the 1933 Act for “transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering”:

Item 6.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. Management's Discussion and Analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. The revenue and operating income (loss) amounts in this Management's Discussion and Analysis are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

OVERVIEW

KMA Global Solutions International, Inc., through our operating subsidiaries, KMA Global Solutions Inc. (“KMA (Canada)”), a corporation formed in April 1996 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, and   KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd., is an innovator and internationally recognized leader in the Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) market. We serve a diverse and geographically dispersed customer base consisting predominantly of retailer suppliers, branded apparel, multimedia,  pharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturers, providing low cost and customized solutions to protect against retail merchandise theft.  The retail industry generally refers to these losses as “inventory shrinkage” or “shrink”.  On average, shrink represents nearly 2% of a retailer's revenue and can often be much more.  According to “The Global Retail Theft Barometer”, worldwide retail losses due to shrinkage are a problem estimated to exceed $108 Billion USD, including the cost of prevention. The Company has developed a suite of proprietary EAS products to address the specific needs of a changing marketplace, using patented processes to manufacture its tags at high speeds and deliver its products on a just in time basis. Our EAS solutions are designed to fit the needs of major suppliers to multinational retailers in the apparel, multimedia, sporting goods, food and over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical and health supplement industries.
 
 
 
 
 
19

 
 
The Company is engaged in the supply of EAS solutions (including the Company's NEXTag™ and DualTag™, GSL and GML products), focusing on providing generic and customized solutions in the apparel, multi media, sporting goods, food and pharmaceutical industries. We will grow by concentrating on executing a strategy as a global operating company, while maintaining a continued focus on providing customers with innovative products and solutions, outstanding service, consistent quality, on-time delivery and competitively priced products. Together with continuing investments in new product development, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, and innovative sales and marketing initiatives, management believes the Company is well-positioned to compete successfully as a provider of EAS tagging solutions to the retail apparel, multimedia and pharmaceutical industries, worldwide. The capital needed to fund our growth has been generated to date through investment by the founding shareholders and through reinvestment of profits and private placements of securities.

The Company was formed on March 9, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada, and is organized as a holding company structure, with KMA (Canada), KMA Global Solutions, LLC (“KMA LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company, and KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) as wholly-owned subsidiaries. On March 10, 2006, we entered into a merger agreement with Espo's Ltd. (“Espo's”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on September 7, 2001, in which the Company was the surviving corporation. Pursuant to the merger, the Company issued 1,700,000 shares of its common stock to KMA LLC.

On March 15, 2006, we entered into an acquisition agreement with KMA (Canada) whereby we purchased from the remaining shareholders of KMA (Canada) an aggregate amount of 314,400 common shares in exchange for 1,179,000 common shares of KMA International. Through these series of transactions, the Company acquired, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of KMA (Canada).

Part of the Company's expansion plan included relocating part of our existing manufacturing capacity from our Canadian operation to the new facility in Hong Kong, a step completed during the course of the past year.  Future expansion plans may include adding further manufacturing capacity in India and Mexico, and expanding our sales operation to include Europe and Asia, as well as relocating our headquarters from Ontario, Canada to a strategically located US city.

The use of EAS systems in the retail environment continues to generate significant cost savings for retailers. Our management believes that the extremely competitive retail environment, and the Company's low cost solutions relative to other EAS suppliers, places us in a favorable position for the future. The addition of new high-speed high volume equipment late in the year has proven successful in driving costs of production lower and may enable the Company to capture a larger share of the EAS market. With the completion of the implementation of new production equipment, we plan to open production facilities in high-demand locations, thus shortening supply lines on raw materials, and reducing operating costs through efficiencies, and shipping costs for finished goods. We anticipate increased demand for our products in international as well as North American markets. Management's ongoing strategy includes implementing process improvements to reduce costs in all of our manufacturing facilities, re-deploying assets to balance production capacity with customer demand, and seeking to expand our production in new and emerging markets to minimize labor costs and maximize operating performance efficiencies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales

The Company's sales decreased $1,753,278 or 26.4% to $4,877,606, for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, compared to $6,630,884 for the twelve months ending January 31, 2007.  There was significant weakness in the order rate from the apparel EAS label market, particularly in the fourth quarter, which seemed to reflect the weakness in the retail market in general.  A significant number of orders were cancelled or postponed, again in the fourth quarter, as retailers made adjustments to their product orders in an effort to manage their inventory levels, all of which directly impacted our own incoming order rate.  In addition, there was a continued drop in demand for the DualTag™ in the DVD product segment as the decline affecting that retail segment continued.  Growth in orders for the DualTag™ from other sectors such as OTC and Electronic Accessories showed a good deal of positive movement late in the year, however not nearly enough to offset the impact of other sectors.   We do expect the growth in these latter sectors to carry into the next period.

Domestic sales, principally comprising revenues generated in and for North America amounted to $2,285,548, a 39% decrease over the previous year, largely due to the shift of apparel based sales to our Hong Kong subsidiary.  Offshore sales, which for the most part consist of those generated from our Asian offices, consisted of $2,592,058, representing a 9.7% decrease from a year earlier, reflecting a loss of continuity between ending our agency agreement with our former representative, and the functional startup of our Hong Kong facility as an operating entity.

The bulk of apparel products sold through retail around the world are now produced in Asia.  Historically, KMA produced its sewn-in apparel protection products at our factory in Canada, and shipped it overseas.  Our Asian interests were represented by a Hong Kong based agency.

After a great deal of study, coupled with growing challenges with our Hong Kong agent, we made a pivotal strategic decision concerning this important market and ultimately decided that KMA needed to represent its own interests in the Asian market in order to improve our competitive position, shorten our supply lines, establish a direct relationship with our customers, and ultimately position our business to grow in concert with the market potential in the years to come.  We opened KMA (Hong Kong) in May 2007, initially as a warehousing and distribution facility, and then over the remainder of the year, began to hire and train our own production, sales and customer service staff, while at the same time, ending our long-term arrangement with our Hong Kong based agent.

As our Hong Kong facility is now fully operational, we believe that we are better positioned to respond to the apparel sector of retail as it finds its new footing, and we can now move forward with larger and more diverse programs that we anticipate will deliver increased sales revenue during our new fiscal year.  We are well along with establishing direct relationships with the thousands of apparel manufacturers located throughout Asia and have begun to supply many of those that participate in EAS programs, both large and small.

Sales of KMA’s patented NEXTag TM sew-in EAS label declined by 37% to $2,312,837 in the year ended January 31, 2008 as compared to $3,695,245 in the year ended January 31, 2007, as a result of the softening of the apparel market during our fourth quarter of the year.

KMA’s DualTag™ business is based in supplying the only patented, dual-technology, self-adhesive label in the industry, containing the base elements of the two most popular EAS technologies in use today.  By providing both technologies on a single label, KMA enables manufacturers and their packagers to tag their entire production with one DualTag™, permitting them to maintain a single inventory of each product, regardless of what EAS technology is in use at the store to which the product unit is eventually shipped.  Without DualTag™, manufacturers traditionally find it necessary to maintain multiple inventories based on whichever label technology was applied to a particular package, in order to comply with their retail customers’ requirements. During the past year we also responded to a market need by diversifying our DualTag™ line by introducing a non-adhesive, insertable cardstock version of the DualTag™ which can be placed inside of a product package either with other literature or the product itself.  We have also completed the necessary advance planning that will allow the incorporation of RFID into the DualTag™ product as specialty retailers begin to incorporate item-level RFID into their operations and begin to demand its inclusion in their suppliers products.
 
 
 
 
21


 
During fiscal 2008, our DualTag™ business achieved both encouraging gains as breakthroughs were realized in new areas such as the nutriceutical and pharmaceutical over-the-counter (OTC) markets, but also sustained some difficult setbacks as cost-cutting measures put in place by customers in the weakening DVD and Electronic games sector had an impact on KMA’s product sales into that segment.  The loss of this significant channel resulted in an overall drop in DualTag™ sales versus the previous year, with revenues in the year ending January 31, 2008 of $1,814,038, versus $1,924,717 in the same period ending January 31, 2007, as the newly opened segments were not mature enough to offset the sudden and unexpected loss represented by what had been our largest DualTag market.

The balance of our DualTag™ business (net of multi media) showed encouraging growth, a trend that we expect to continue as new markets come on line.  We feel that this is ongoing evidence of the viability of the DualTag as a growth engine, bolstering confidence that it will continue to help to propel KMA’s future.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $1,205,887 or 24.7% of sales for the year ending January 31, 2008, compared with $1,288,305 or 19.4% for the year ending January 31, 2007.  Although slightly lower in absolute dollars as a result of the softer sales results, this area clearly showed a dramatic improvement as a percentage of sales and provides evidence of the successful progress of our ongoing cost reduction program.

Management is committed to an ongoing strategy that focuses on continually improving profits through process and purchasing improvements to reduce costs in manufacturing and by locating manufacturing sites closer to our customer base to eliminate freight costs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses were $3,062,286 in the year ending January 31, 2008, compared with $2,385,405 for the previous year, which ended January 31, 2007.  SG&A expenses, expressed as a percent of sales, were 62.7% compared to 36% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007.

The increase in the ratio of SG&A expenses to sales is primarily due to: (i) reduction in sales revenue; (ii) increase in wages and benefits; (iii) accounting, audit, legal, and consulting fees associated with SEC filing requirements; and (iv) occupancy costs and other expenses associated with establishing our new Hong Kong facility. These higher expenses were offset to some degree through lower Marketing and Promotion expense.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss before taxes was $1,856,399 or 38.1% for the year ended January 31, 2008, compared with an operating loss before taxes of $1,097,100 or 16.5% the previous year, which ended January 31, 2007.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
22

 
Taxes on Income

The Company experienced an operating loss for the year and therefore recognized a future tax benefit of $592,122 which has been offset by a valuation allowance of $592,122 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 versus a future tax benefit of $360,697 in the year ending January 31, 2007.  The effective income tax rates of the future tax provisions for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 was 31.9. For the same period in 2007, the effective rate was 32.9%.  The statutory income tax rate going forward for the Company, with all of its operating activities taxed in Canada, is approximately 36% as a result of applicable combined federal and provincial tax rates.

Overview . The Company had, for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, current liabilities of $1,222,155 and current assets of $579,092. Management believes that the Company will generate sufficient cash from its operating activities for the foreseeable future, supplemented by an anticipated infusion of capital, to fund its working capital needs, strengthen its balance sheet and support its growth strategy of expanding its geographic distribution and product offerings. The infusion of capital is expected to come from the sale of treasury stock and/or newly issued shares of common stock to investors in the public capital markets.

Operating Activities . Cash flow from operating activities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 resulted in a negative cash flow of $1,171,841, as compared to the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2007, which saw a negative cash flow of $622,804.  In the twelve months ended January 31, 2008, the net loss, as adjusted for amortization, shares issued for services provided and future income taxes, resulted in a negative cash flow of $1,704,170 and with changes in non-cash working capital of $532,329 our cash flows from operating activities decreased by $1,171,841. During the twelve months ended January 31, 2007, the net income, as adjusted for amortization and future income taxes, resulted in a negative cash flow of $855,348, together with changes in non-cash working capital of $232,544, resulted in a negative cash flow from operating activities of $622,804. The variances in cash flow from operations between twelve months ended January 31, 2008 and January 31, 2007 are primarily the result of changes in income/loss before taxes, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and accounts payable. Accounts Receivable for the company decreased $239,800 through the twelve months period ended January 31, 2008 as compared to an increase of $223,134 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. This difference is a result of timing of sales. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the Company decreased by $79,334 through the twelve months period ended January 31, 2008 as compared to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increase of $268,700 in the twelve months ended January 31, 2007. This decrease in accounts payable is due primarily to non-recurring costs in the prior year. Our prepaid expenses decreased by $47,774 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2007 and we experienced a $265,029 decrease for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008. The difference between the years is primarily the result of prepaid consulting fees at the end of January 31, 2007 were fully expensed by January 31, 2008.
 
 
 
 
 
 
23

 
 
Financing Activities . The Company's cash flow from financing activities for the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 amounted to $1,940,414, primarily as a result of an issuance of capital stock in the amount of $700,000, and the exercise of warrants resulting in a further increase of $1,270,000, .By comparison, in the twelve months ended January 31, 2007 the Company experienced an increase as a result of the issuance of capital stock in the amount of $487,485 and an increase in advances from shareholders of $90,202, resulting in a net cash flow from financing activities of $526,221.

Investing Activities . In the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 the Company experienced a decrease in cash flow from investing activities of $509,056. This was due to an increase in purchase of equipment and patents $308,853 along with deposits on equipment and patents of $200,203. By comparison in the twelve months ended January 31, 2007, the Company experienced an decrease in cash flow from investing activities of $35,102, in large part due to an increase on the purchase of equipment and patents that amounted to $259,247 and an decrease in deposits on equipment and patents which amounted to $173,084.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements . The Company has no material transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future impact on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses.

Market Risk . In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks that could impact its results of operations.

We sell our products worldwide, and a substantial portion of our net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes the Company to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates that can adversely impact revenues, net income and cash flow. In addition, the Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk, principally in accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Our major customers are retailers, branded apparel companies and contract manufacturers that have historically paid their balances with the Company.

There were no significant changes in the Company's exposure to market risk in the past three years.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management has identified the following policies and estimates as critical to the Company's business operations and the understanding of the Company's results of operations. Note that the preparation of this Form 10-KSB requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences could be material.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (“KMA International” or the “Company”) is engaged in the supply of Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) solutions, focusing on providing customized solutions in the apparel, multi media, sporting goods, food and pharmaceutical industries
 
 
 
 
 
 
24


 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended January 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $1,856,399 as compared to a net loss of $736,403 for the year ended January 31, 2007.  
 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, grow sales of its products and achieve profitable operations.  Management’s plan is to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings.  Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms to the Company.  The issuance of additional equity securities by the Company could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of the current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the liabilities and future cash commitments.

The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to establishing its current business. Management developed its business model, business plans and strategic marketing plans that included: organization of the Company and divisions; identification of the Company’s sales channels and associated supply chain; development of marketing strategic plans and sales execution strategies; preparation of a financial plan, risk and capital structure planning models, developing cash flow forecasts and an operating budget; identifying markets to raise additional equity capital and debt financing; and, recruiting and hiring, management and industry specialists.
 
The consolidated 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.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is incorporated in the United States, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, KMA Global Solutions Inc., which is incorporated in Canada under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd., which is incorporated in Hong Kong.

Revenue Recognition

SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Should changes in conditions cause management to determine that these criteria are not met for certain future transactions, revenue recognized for a reporting period could be adversely affected.

Sales Returns and Allowances

Management must make estimates of potential future product returns, billing adjustments and allowances related to current period product revenues. In establishing a provision for sales returns and allowances, management relies principally on the Company's history of product return rates which is regularly analyzed. Management also considers: (1) current economic trends; (2) changes in customer demand for the Company's products; and (3) acceptance of the Company's products in the marketplace when evaluating the adequacy of the Company's provision for sales returns and allowances. Historically, the Company has not experienced a significant change in its product return rates resulting from these factors. For the twelve months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, the provision for sales returns and allowances accounted for as a reduction to gross sales was not material.
 
 
 
 
 
 
25


 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Management makes judgments, based on its established aging policy, historical experience and future expectations, as to the ability to collect the Company's accounts receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established. The allowance for doubtful accounts is used to reduce gross trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, management analyzes customer-specific allowances, amounts based upon an aging schedule, historical bad debt experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness and current trends. The Company's accounts receivable at January 31, 2008 was $84,045, net of an allowance of $0.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value, and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-process or finished goods. The value of inventories determined using the first-in, first-out method at January 31, 2008 was $111,683 for finished goods and $191,251 for raw materials.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the composition of its inventories and the adequacy of our allowance for slow-turning and obsolete products. The market value of aged inventory is determined based on historical sales trends, current market conditions, changes in customer demand, acceptance of the Company's products, and current sales activities for this type of inventory.

Goodwill

The Company did not attribute any value to goodwill as at January 31, 2008.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to estimate the income taxes in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating the actual current tax liabilities, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheet. Management must then assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered and, to the extent that management believes that recovery is not more than likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. If a valuation allowance is established or increased during any period, the Company records this amount as an expense within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of income. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recognized against net deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are based on management's estimates of the taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the period over which the deferred tax assets will be recoverable.

Item 8A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2008, (the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB).  It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.  In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.  Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions involving our assets;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management, and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the reporting entitled Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO.  The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
 
 
 
 
27

 
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management was not subject to attestation by our 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

During the three months ended January 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 8B.    OTHER INFORMATION.

The purchase price of the shares is $2,000,000, which was to be paid as follows: (i) $200,000 upon the filing of the registration statement; (ii) a payment of $600,000 within 60 days after the effective date of the registration statement; (iii) an additional payment of $600,000 within 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement; and (iv) a final payment within 120 days after the effective date of the registration statement. As of January 31, 2008, the Company received $200,000 and recorded $1,800,000 as a subscription receivable.  In addition to the shares of common stock, the purchasers of the shares received warrants to acquire an additional 8,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of 2 years.  The agent for the investors received a fee of 1,400,000 shares of common stock at $0.43 per share and warrants to acquire 1,400,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for a period of 2 years.

Michael McBride was elected Director of the Company in March 2006. Mr. McBride is a member in good standing of the Law Society of Upper Canada and has practiced in the area of general corporate and real estate law as a partner in the law firm McBride Wallace Laurent & Cord LLP since 1982.

Except as noted above, no director, officer or affiliate of the Company has, within the past five years, filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted in or been the subject of any pending criminal proceedings, or subject to any order, judgment, or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws.
 
Currently, there is no arrangement, agreement or understanding between management and non-management stockholders under which non-management stockholders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of the affairs of the Company. Present management openly accepts and appreciates any input or suggestions from stockholders. However, the Board is elected by the stockholders who have the ultimate say, by virtue of their voting rights, in who represents them on the Board. There are no agreements or understandings for any officer or Director to resign at the request of another person and none of the current offers or Directors are acting on behalf of, or will act at the direction of any other person.
 
Audit Committee
 
The Company currently does not have any standing committees.   T he entire Board of Directors acts as the Company’s audit committee. The audit committee does not have a charter. Additionally, we do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee.  Based upon current NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, which the Company voluntarily applies, Mr. Foster qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” for purposes of SEC rules, adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Owner Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our directors and executive officers and the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s registered equity securities (the reporting persons) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initial reports of, and subsequent reports of changes in, their beneficial ownership of the Company’s equity securities. The reporting persons are required to furnish us with copies of all such Section 16(a) reports. Based solely on our review of the copies of such Section 16(a) reports and written representations from certain reporting persons furnished to us, none of our reporting persons have complied with their Section 16(a) filing requirements due to the fact that none of the required parties filed their respective Form 3 during fiscal year 2008.  The Company is undertaking to get a Form 3 for each party filed as soon as possible.
 
Code of Ethics
 
The Company has a Code of Ethics that applies to all Company employees, including its Chief Executive Officer, as well as members of the Board of Directors.  The Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14 to the Company’s 10-KSB filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2007.  The Company will post any changes to the Code of Ethics on its website.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of
KMA Global Solutions International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) as at January 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated statements of income and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2008.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. as at January 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2008, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s operating losses and negative working capital raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Note 1 also describes management’s plans to address these financial matters.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2008 and 2007
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
 


1.         DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (“KMA International” or the “Company”) is engaged in the supply of Electronic Article Surveillance (“EAS”) solutions, focusing on providing customized solutions in the apparel, multi media, sporting goods, food and pharmaceutical industries.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended January 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $1,856,399 (2007 -  $736,403).  Certain conditions noted below raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional debt or equity financing, grow sales of its products and achieve profitable operations.  Management’s plan is to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings.  Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms to the Company.  The issuance of additional equity securities by the Company could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of the current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the liabilities and future cash commitments.

The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to establishing its current business. Management developed its business model, business plans and strategic marketing plans that included: organization of the Company and divisions; identification of the Company’s sales channels and associated supply chain; development of marketing strategic plans and sales execution strategies; preparation of a financial plan, risk and capital structure planning models, developing cash flow forecasts and an operating budget; identifying markets to raise additional equity capital and debt financing; and, recruiting and hiring, management and industry specialists.
 
The consolidated 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.


2.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  The basis of application of accounting principles is consistent with that of the previous year.  Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.

Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which is incorporated in the United States, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, KMA Global Solutions Inc., which is incorporated in Canada under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and KMA Global Solutions (Hong Kong) Ltd., which is incorporated in Hong Kong.

JANUARY 31, 2008 and 2007
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
 

 

2.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued )
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities at time of purchase of less than 90 days that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of a material change in value.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost being determined substantially on the first-in, first-out basis.

Equipment and Amortization
Equipment is stated at acquisition cost.  Amortization is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
 
Equipment
 
5 to 10 years
 
Computer equipment
 
2 years
 
Office furniture
 
5 to 10 years
 
Equipment under capital lease
 
10 years
 
Leasehold improvements
 
2 to 3 years
 
 
 
Patents
Patents are stated at acquisition cost.  Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the term of each patent.  Intangible assets are reviewed for valuation on an annual basis.  When events and circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable, a writedown to fair value is charged to operations in the period that such a determination is made.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company recognizes an impairment loss on long-lived assets when their carrying value exceeds the total expected undiscounted cash flows from their use or disposition.  The Company’s long-lived assets are tested for impairment when an event or change in circumstances indicates that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Research and Development Costs
All research and development costs, including costs of developing new products, changing existing products and production costs are expensed when incurred.  Investment tax credits earned on research and development activities are recorded as a reduction in the related expenses when there is reasonable assurance that the costs qualify and that collection is reasonably assured.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Leases
Leases have been classified as either capital or operating.  A lease which transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to the ownership of property is accounted for as if it were an acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease.  All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are charged to operations as incurred.  Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized on a diminishing balance basis over their estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes.  Future income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and are measured using tax rates substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.  The effect of changes in income tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that the change becomes substantially enacted.  When the future realization of income taxes does not meet the test of being more likely than not to occur, a valuation allowance in the amount of the potential future benefit is taken and no asset is recognized.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue on products sold is recognized when all significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer which generally occurs at the time of shipment and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in accordance with the treasury stock method and based on the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities.  As at January 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 9,400,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

2.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Accounting Estimates and Measurement Uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  By their nature these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty.  The effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be material and would be accounted for in the period the change occurs.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Transactions
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated at exchange rates in effect at January 31, 2008 and 2007; income and expenses at average exchange rates during the year.  Exchange gains or losses from such translation practises are reflected in the income statement.

Basis of Presentation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  These financial statements, however, are presented in U.S. dollars with assets and liabilities translated using the year end rate of exchange and revenue and expenses translated using the average rate of exchange for the year.  The related foreign exchange gains and losses arising on translation are included as other comprehensive income.

 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement”.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.  The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, except in some circumstance where the statement shall be applied retrospectively.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment to FAS 115. This standard permits a company to choose to measure certain financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No.159 will have on its financial condition and results of operations.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

8.           SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

(d)  
KMA International, a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and KMA Canada entered into an acquisition agreement dated March 15, 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement and upon the completion of satisfactory due diligence and receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals, KMA International acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of KMA Canada in exchange for 34,244,800 post split reorganization common shares.  (34,244,800 post split reorganization shares being the aggregate of 28,900,000 owned by KMA LLC and 5,344,800 owned by KMA Canada shareholders.)  Pursuant to an agreement between the KMA Canada shareholders and KMA International, the shares in KMA International owned by the KMA Canada shareholders were retired to treasury and cancelled and the KMA Canada shareholders received 1,179,000 post split reorganization shares.

KMA International is the surviving corporation as a result of a merger transaction with Espo’s, Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of New York.  The merger occurred March 15, 2006.  At the time of the merger transaction, Espo’s, Ltd. was a non-reporting public corporation.  As a result of the merger and acquisition transactions the former shareholders of Espo’s, Ltd. hold 11,811,991 or 28.2% of the post split reorganization common shares of KMA International.  Pursuant to the merger agreement, the remaining 71,832,259 post split reorganization shares (4,225,427 pre split reorganization shares), held by individuals that were former shareholders of Espo’s, were retired to treasury effective March 15, 2006 and cancelled on May 19, 2006.

The terms of the merger transaction and the acquisition agreement provided that the mind and management of KMA International would be replaced by the officers and directors of KMA Canada and having had no significant business activity for a number of years, upon the effective time of the acquisition, KMA International adopted the business plan of KMA Canada.  The transaction was therefore accounted for as a reverse acquisition with KMA Canada as the acquiring party and KMA International as the acquired party, in substance, a reorganization of KMA Canada.  Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America require, among other considerations, that a company whose stockholders retain a majority interest in a business combination be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the periods prior to the combination are those of KMA Canada.

(e)  
On June 16, 2006, KMA International issued 25,000 common shares with a fair market value of Cdn $0.50 per share in exchange for investor relation services provided by a consulting company for KMA International.

(f)  
On October 20, 2006, KMA International issued 150,000 common shares with a fair market value of USD $0.19 per share in exchange for consulting services.

11.         FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair Value

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require that the Company disclose information about the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities.  Fair value estimates are made at the balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties in significant matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and advances from shareholder on the balance sheet approximate fair value because of the limited term of these instruments.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Certain of the Company's sales and expenses are incurred in Canadian and Hong Kong currencies and are therefore subject to gains and losses due to fluctuations in those currencies.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed, in its normal course of business, to credit risk from its customers. No one single party accounts for a significant balance of accounts receivable.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has interest-bearing borrowings for which general rate fluctuations apply.
