STATEMENTS

NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A
summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the
accompanying financial statements follows:
General
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Solar
Thin
Film, Inc., (“Solar” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In
the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly,
the results from operations for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for
the year ended December 31, 2008.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2007 financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC
on
April 4, 2008.
Business
and Basis of Presentation
The
Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is in
the
business of designing, manufacturing and marketing Solar Panel equipment on
a
world wide basis.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Superior Ventures Corp. and Kraft Elektronikai
Zrt. (“Kraft”) and majority owned subsidiary, Solar Thin Power, Inc. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Merger
and Corporate Restructure
On
June
14, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”
or “Merger”) with Kraft, a company formed under the laws of the country of
Hungary. As a result of the Merger, there was a change in control of the public
entity. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Kraft was the acquiring entity. While
the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in
substance the Agreement is a recapitalization of Kraft's capital
structure.
For
accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse
acquisition and Kraft is the surviving entity. The total purchase price and
carrying value of net assets acquired was $(6,681,891). The Company did not
recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction.
Prior to the Agreement, the Company was an inactive corporation with no
significant assets and liabilities.
Effective
with the Agreement, 95.5% of previously outstanding shares of its common stock
owned by the Kraft’s shareholders were exchanged for an aggregate of 95,500
shares of the Company’s newly issued Series B-4 Preferred Stock (the “Series B-4
Preferred”). The Series B-4 Preferred were each automatically convertible into
350 shares of common stock or an aggregate of 33,425,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. The conversion is subject to the Company increasing its authorized
shares of common stock. Under the Agreement, prior to such conversion, each
Series B-4 Preferred share will have the voting rights equal to 350 shares
of
common stock and vote together with the shares of common stock on all
matters.
The
value
of the stock that was issued was the historical cost of the Company's net
tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair
value.
The
accompanying financial statements present the historical financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows of Kraft prior to the merger with American
United Global.

to
accumulated deficit during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Subsequent
to the date of the merger, the Company changed its name from American United
Global Inc. to Solar Thin Films, Inc.
In
July
2007, the Company issued 1,575,000 shares of its common stock to acquire the
remaining 4.5% of the outstanding common shares of Kraft. Accordingly, the
Company has charged the fair value, based on the underlying common stock issued,
of $1,181,250 to accumulated deficit in the year ended December 31,
2007.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company assesses the realization of its receivables by performing ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations,
the Company may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able
to
meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability,
credit ratings or bankruptcy. The Company’s reserve requirements are based on
the best facts available to the Company and are reevaluated and adjusted as
additional information is received. The Company’s reserves are also based on
amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable
categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including,
but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt
write-off experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 at September 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007.

NOTE

Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product/contract sales, the Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB
104"), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria
must be met before revenue can be recognized: 1) Persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the selling price is fixed
and
determinable; and 4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Determination
of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility
of
those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time
that
the company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required. Deferred revenues as of September
30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $756,676 and $0, respectively. SAB 104
incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21"),
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting
for
arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products,
services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing EITF 00-21
on
the Company’s financial position and results of operations was not
significant.
The
Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the price to the customer is fixed, collectibility is reasonable assured and
title and risk of ownership is passed to the customer, which is usually upon
shipment. However, certain customers traditionally have requested to take title
and risk of ownership prior to shipment. Revenue for these transactions is
recognized only when:
1.
Title
and risk of ownership have passed to the customer;
2.
The
Company has obtained a written fixed purchase commitment;
3.
The
customer has requested the transaction be on a bill and hold basis;
4.
The
customer has provided a delivery schedule;
5.
All
performance obligations related to the sale have been completed;
6.
The
product has been processed to the customer’s specifications, accepted by the
customer and made ready for shipment;
7.
The
product is segregated and is not available to fill other orders.
The
remittance terms for these “bill and hold” transactions are consistent with all
other sale by the Company. There were no bill and hold transactions at September
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Percentage-of-Completion
Accounting: in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 81-1, "Accounting
for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts."
(“SOP 81-1”), sales - derived from long-term fixed-priced contracts to design,
develop and construct of complete or just part of turnkey manufacturing plants
that produce photovoltaic thin film modules in accordance with customer
specifications - are recorded using the percentage of completion method as
the
compounds are delivered (under the units of delivery method). The contract
costs
related to delivered compounds are recorded to cost of revenue as the compounds
are delivered and revenue is recognized.
In
April
2008, the Company has entered into a long term contract with Grupo Unisolar,
S.A. which falls under the percentage of completion accounting method. As of
September 30, 2008 no revenue has been earned and the Company has recorded
the
initial deposit of $601,031 as deferred revenue which is included in the caption
“Advances received from Customers’ in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.
Product
Warranty costs
The
Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations
upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees” as a charge in the current period cost
of goods sold. The range for the warranty coverage for the Company’s products is
up to 18 to 24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of
repairs under such warranties based on historical experience and any known
specific product information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically
by
management and based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The
Company’s determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as
such, actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous
expectations.

NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company accrued a provision for product warranty of approximately $180,000
during 2007; of which approximately $85,000 was utilized during the year ended
December 31, 2007. An additional $45,000 warranty liability was accrued during
the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 after the utilization of $80,000
in the nine months of 2008, while approximately $60,000 remaining as of
September 30, 2008.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2"), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.”
Under SFAS 2, all research and development cost must be charged to expense
as
incurred. Accordingly, internal research and developments cost is expensed
as
incurred.
Third-party
research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been
performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research
and development costs related to products are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company incurred expenditures of $(60,000) and $120,000 on research and
product development for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2008, respectively; and $90,000 and $270,000 for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain
reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods’ data to the
current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income
or losses.
Property,
plant and equipment
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over
the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
The
estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
|
|
|
Land
and buildings
|
|
3 to 50 years
|
Funitures
and fixtures
|
|
3 to 7 years
|
Machinery,
plant and equipment
|
|
3 to 7 years
|
We
evaluate the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be
held
and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant
and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future
cash
flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. We measure
impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective
asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the
projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved.
Investments
During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired at 15%
interest in CG Solar, formerly WeiHai Blue Star Terra Photovoltaic Co., Ltd,
a
Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company organized under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China. The investment of $1,500,000 is carried at cost under the
cost method of accounting for investment.
Stock
Based Compensation
Effective
for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R)
“Share-Based Payment” which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees” and eliminates the intrinsic value method that was provided
in SFAS 123 for accounting of stock-based compensation to employees. The Company
made no employee stock-based compensation grants before December 31, 2005 and
therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense
unvested or vested prior to 2006.

NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For
the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options to
an
officer of the Company with an exercise price of $0.533 per share vesting over
two years and expiring ten years from the date of issuance. The fair value
of
the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the
following assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 82.53%; risk
free
interest rate: 5.14%. The fair value of the vested portion of $153,312 and
$153,312 was charged to operations for the three months period ended September
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively; and $456,604 and $203,305 for the nine months
period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
For
the
nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company granted an aggregate
of
630,000 stock options (net of cancellations) to employees, directors and
officers with an exercise price of $0.75 per share vesting over eighteen months
and expiring ten years from date of issuance. The fair value of the options
was
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 93.08%; risk free interest
rate: 3.38%. The fair value of the vested portion of $70,039 and $148,652 was
charged to operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30,
2008, respectively.
Additionally
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company granted 600,000
stock options to an officer with an exercise price of $0.80 per share vesting
at
a rate of 100,000 shares per month beginning June 1, 2009. The options expire
ten years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the options was
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
assumptions: expected dividend yield: 0%; volatility 94.94%; risk free interest
rate: 3.75%. No stock-based compensation was charged to operations from these
stock options for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2008
as
they start vesting in June 1, 2009.
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130; “Reporting
Comprehensive Income” (SFAS) No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
is
defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive
income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars
using the year or period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the
requirements of SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”
.
Assets,
liabilities and equity of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates
as of the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses and retained earnings are
translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative
translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain
(loss) within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated
in a
currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated
results of operations.
Net
income (loss) per share
The
Company computes earnings per share under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“SFAS 128”). Net earnings (losses) per
common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of
shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise
of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury
stock
method). During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be
anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

Liquidity
The
Company has incurred a net loss of $3,904,605 and negative cash flows from
operating activities of $1,987,808 for the nine month period ended September
30,
2008. As of September 30, 2008 the Company’s current liabilities exceeded their
current assets by $3,702,842.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements and does not require any new fair value
measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair
value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) 157-2
,
“Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157”
(“FSP
157-2
),
which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the
impact that the implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on its non-financial
assets and liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however,
the Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations
or
cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including
an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
”
(“SFAS
No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of
the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value
option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
”
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide
Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method
Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1
provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of
the
AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP
07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on
or
after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a
final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting
early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.
In
June
2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that

EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

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

1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”
(“SFAS
No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority
interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
SFAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company
is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its
consolidated financial position results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1,
“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1
defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the
result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and
report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on
other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of
other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and
consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for
disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s
rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income
statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in
accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing
as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact
of adopting EITF 07-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133”
(“SFAS
No. 161”)
.
SFAS
No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption
encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS
No. 161, if any, will have on its consolidated financial position, results
of
operations or cash flows.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.
This FSP
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”.
The
Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009, earlier adoption
is
prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life
of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
"
("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in
the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "
Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)
" ("FSP
APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets)
on
conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion
option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's
non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive
basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if
any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

9- PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF NOTES PAYABLE (continued)
In
connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006 (see
Note
1), the Company assumed a financing arrangement dated March 16, 2006,
subsequently amended on May 18, 2006, with several investors (the "March
Investors") for the sale of (i) $1,250,000 in notes (the "Notes"), (ii) 625,000
shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") and (iii) common stock
purchase warrants to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 price
per
share for a period of five years (the "Warrants"). The warrants and warrant
agreement provide for certain anti-dilution rights through December 31, 2007
in
the event of a reverse split.
The
March
2006 Notes are interest free and mature on the earlier of (i) March 16, 2009
or
(ii) the Company closing on a financing in the aggregate amount of $12,000,000.
The Company granted the March 2006 Investors piggyback registration rights
with
respect to the March 2006 Shares and the shares of common stock underlying
the
warrants. Further, Robert M. Rubin, CFO and a Director of the Company, has
personally guaranteed payment of the March 2006 Notes.
The
March
2006 Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert
the March 2006 Notes and exercise the March 2006 Warrants and receive shares
of
the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common
stock held by them and their affiliates after such conversion does not exceed
4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock.
The
sale
of the Notes was completed on March 16, 2006. As of the date hereof, the Company
is obligated on $1,250,000 in face amount of Notes issued to the March
investors.
In
accordance with
Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting For Convertible Securities With a
Beneficial Conversion Feature or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios
(EITF
98-5)
, the
Company allocated, on a relative fair value basis, the net proceeds amongst
the
common stock, warrants and the convertible notes issued to the investors. The
predecessor management recognized and measured $519,491 of the proceeds, which
equals to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature,
to
additional paid in capital and a discount against the March 2006
Notes.
In
accordance with
Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Instruments
(“EITF -
0027”), the Company recognized the relative value attributable to the warrants
in the amount of $231,797 to additional paid in capital and a discount against
the March 2006 Notes. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with EITF
00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions:
(1)
dividend yield of 0%; 2) expected volatility of 93.03%, (3) risk-free interest
rate of 5.08% to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 5 years. The Company also
recognized the relative value attributable to the common stock issued in the
amount of $498,712 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the
March 2006 Notes. Total debt discount to the March 2006 Notes amounted
$1,250,000. The note discount is being amortized over the maturity period of
the
Notes, being thirty-four (34) months.
The
Company amortized the Convertible Notes’ debt discount and recorded non-cash
interest expense of $110,223 and $330,669 during the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively; and $110,223 and $329,458 during
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007,
respectively.

September 2005. In addition, the Company pledged one hundred percent (100%)
of
the shares held in its majority owned subsidiary, Kraft, as collateral to the

effective by the required dates, it will be obligated to pay a liquidated
damages equal to 2% of the aggregate financing to each investor upon any such
registration failure and for each thirty days that such registration failure
continues in cash.
The

the
intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional
paid-in capital and a discount against the Convertible Note. The debt discount
attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the
Convertible Notes’ maturity period, being three (3) years, as interest expense.
In accordance with

NOTE
9- PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF NOTES PAYABLE (continued)
In
conjunction with raising capital through the issuance of $6,000,000 Notes,
the
Company has issued warrants that have registration rights for the underlying
shares. As the contract must be settled by the delivery of registered
shares and the delivery of the registered shares is not controlled by the
Company, pursuant to EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”, the
warrants were recorded as a derivative liability and valued at fair market
value
until the Company meets the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity.
The
net value of the warrants at the date of issuance was recorded as a warrant
liability on the balance sheet in the amount of $10,821,900 and charged to
operations as interest expense. Upon the registration statement being
declared effective, the fair value of the warrant on that date will be
reclassified to equity. The Company initially valued the warrants using the
Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield
of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 93.03%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 5.08%
to 5.10%, and (4) expected life of 5 years.
In
connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006 (see
Note
1), the Company assumed as liability for the fair value of $10,821,900
representing the warrants issued and outstanding as described above. At December
31, 2006, the Company revalued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2)
expected volatility of 51.21%, (3) risk-free interest rate of 4.62 to 4.82%
to
5.10%, and (4) expected life of 2.45 to 3.44 years and 5) a deemed fair value
of
common stock of $0.99. The decrease of $9,356,400 in the fair value of the

suit, filed on December 12, 2003, plaintiffs seek a declaration that a series
of
transactions by which the Company allegedly acquired Lifetime Healthcare
Services, Inc. ("Lifetime") and Lifetime acquired an interest in NY Medical
from
Redwood (collectively "Transactions") were properly rescinded or, alternatively,
that because the Transactions were induced by fraudulent conduct of our company
and others, that the Transactions should be judicially rescinded. In addition
to
the requests for equitable relief, plaintiffs also seek monitory damages in
excess of $5 million and exemplary damages in the amount of $15
million.
Currently,
the suit has not proceeded past the filing and service of the complaint. The
Company has obtained an open-ended extension of time in which to answer and/or
move with regard to the complaint. The Company is attempting to resolve the
matter amicably. However, in the event litigation proceeds, it will be
aggressively defended.
From
time
to time, the Company is a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that
the Company considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business.
The
Company is not involved currently in legal proceedings that could reasonably
be
expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial
condition or results of operations. The Company may become involved in material
legal proceedings in the future
.
Contingent
Obligation
The
Company remains contingently liable for certain capital lease obligations
assumed by EGLOBE, Inc. ("EGLOBE") as part of the Connectsoft Communications
Corp. asset sale which was consummated in June 1999. The lessor filed for
bankruptcy in 2000 and the leases were acquired by another leasing organization
which subsequently also filed for bankruptcy in 2001. In addition, EGLOBE filed
for bankruptcy in 2001. The Company has been unable to obtain any further
information about the parties but believes that in the normal course of the
proceedings that another company most likely acquired the assets and related
leases and that a mutually acceptable financial arrangement was reached to
accomplish such a transfer.
To
date,
the Company has not been contacted and has not been notified of any delinquency
in payments due under these leases. The original leases were entered into during
early to mid 1997 each of which was for a five-year term. Extensions of an
additional 20 months were negotiated with the original lessor in 1998 and 1999
moving the ending date to approximately mid 2004. The balance due under the
leases in June 1999 upon transfer and sale to EGLOBE was approximately
$2,800,000 including accrued interest and the monthly payments were
approximately $55,000. The balance that is currently due under the leases is
unknown and there would most likely have been negotiated reductions of amounts
due during the bankruptcy proceedings.
Product
Warranty Obligation
The
Company provides for estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations
upon recognition of the related revenue in accordance with the FASB
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees.” The range for the warranty coverage for the Company’s products is
up to 18 to 24 months. The Company estimates the anticipated future costs of
repairs under such warranties based on historical experience and any known
specific product information. These estimates are reevaluated periodically
by
management and based on current information, are adjusted accordingly. The
Company’s determination of the warranty obligation is based on estimates and as
such, actual product failure rates may differ significantly from previous
expectations. Accrued provision for product warranty was approximately $60,000
and $95,000 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.

The
Company has consulting agreements with its key officers. In addition to
compensation and benefit provisions, the agreements include non-disclosure
and
confidentiality provisions for the protection of the Company's proprietary
information.
In
connection with the merger with Kraft, the Company entered into consulting
agreements with Zoltan Kiss and Bob Rubin pursuant to which each will receive
annual compensation of $160,000 per annum and major medical benefits in
consideration for services performed on behalf of the Company. Each of these
agreements had a term of three years. The agreement with Mr. Kiss was terminated
as part of the agreement with Mr. Kiss as further described below. Mr. Rubin’s
agreement was modified upon his appointment as the Company’s Chief Financial
Officer in August 2007.
The
Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors to provide marketing
and financial advisory services. The Agreements are generally for a term of
12
months from the inception and renewable automatically from year to year unless
either the company or consultant terminates such engagement by written
notice.
Agreement
with Mr. Kiss and other Stockholders.
On
August
12, 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “
Purchase
Agreement

with
Zoltan Kiss (“
Z.
Kiss
”),
Gregory Joseph Kiss (“
G.
Kiss
”),
Maria
Gabriella Kiss (“
M.
Kiss
”),
and
Steven H. Gifis (“

Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to arrange for
the
sale, and each of Z. Kiss, G. Kiss and M. Kiss (the “
Selling
Stockholders
”)
have
agreed to sell, an aggregate of 18.0 million shares of common stock of the
Company owned by the Selling Stockholders. The purchase price for the 18.0
million shares is $0.4139 per share, or a total of $7,450,200 for all of the
shares. At August 12, 2008, the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, was $0.80 per share.
Z.
Kiss,
a former director and executive officer of the Company, is selling 10.0 million
of the 18.0 million shares, representing his entire share holdings in the
Company. In addition, Mr. Kiss has agreed to apply up to $831,863 of the
proceeds from the sale of his 10.0 million shares to pay a portion of the
$1,331,863 of indebtedness owed by his affiliate Renewable Energy Solutions
Inc.
(“
RESI
”),
to
the Company. G. Kiss and M. Kiss, the children of Z. Kiss, are each selling
4.0
million shares in the transaction, and, after the sale, such persons will retain
50,000 and 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. Mr.
Gifis is acting as agent for each of the Selling Stockholders (the “
Sellers’
Agent
”).
The
Company intends to finance the purchase price for the 18.0 million shares being
sold by the Selling Stockholders by arranging for a sale of the shares, either
through a registered public offering for the account of the Selling
Stockholders, or a private purchase.
The
closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement will occur and will
take place on or about November 30, 2008, subject to extension to January 31,
2009, by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Gifis; provided, that if such
Sellers’ Agent shall receive reasonable assurances from the investment banking
firm underwriting securities on behalf of the Company and the Selling
Stockholders that the financing to pay the purchase price for the shares being
sold, will, in their judgment, be consummated, the Sellers’ Agent
shall
extend
the closing date to January 31, 2009.

The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses
and has negative cash flow from operations. In addition, the Company has
incurred an accumulated deficit of $27,980,159 and stockholders’ deficit of
$2,409,669 at September 30, 2008. These factors among others may indicate that
the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
The
Company is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions
with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity
financing.
If
operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management
believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can
be
given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the
resolution of its liquidity problems.
The
Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable
operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the
Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the
continued developing, marketing and selling of its products and services and
additional equity investment in the Company. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.

Algatec
stock exchange agreement
On
October 20, 2008, Robert M. Rubin, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of
Solar
Thin Films, Inc. (the “
Company
”),
formed Algatec Equity Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“
Partnership
”),
for
the purpose of acquiring up to 49% of the share capital of Algatec Solar AG,
a
stock corporation organized under the laws of Germany (“
Algatec
”).
Effective as October 30, 2008, Algatec and members of Algatec senior management
consisting of Messrs. Rainer Ruschke, Ullrich Jank, Dr. Stefan Malik and Andre
Freud (collectively, the “
Management
Stockholders
”),
and
R. Richter, Esq., as trustee for Mr. Ruschke and another Algatec
stockholder (the “
Trustee
”),
entered into a share purchase agreement (the “
Algatec
Share Purchase Agreement
”).
Under
the terms of the Algatec Share Purchase Agreement, on November 3, 2008 (the
“
First
Closing
”)
the
Partnership invested and aggregate of $3,513,000, of which approximately
€2,476,000 was represented by a contribution to the equity of Algatec to enable
it to acquire all of the assets and equity of Trend Capital GmbH & Co
Algatec Solarwerke Brandenburg KG, a German limited partnership (“
Trend
Capital
”).
The
Partnership also purchased for €1.00 per share a total of 13,750 Algatec shares,
representing 27.5% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec.
In
addition to its equity investment at the First Closing, the Partnership has
agreed, under the terms of a loan agreement entered into at the same time as
the
Algatec Share Purchase Agreement, to lend to Algatec on or before November
30,
2008 (the “
Second
Closing
”),
an
additional $2,800,000 or approximately €2,000,000. The proceeds of the loan will
be used to assist Algatec in completing the purchase of all of the assets and
equity of the Trend Capital limited partnership. Upon funding of the loan,
the
Partnership will purchase for €9,250 an additional 9,250 shares, representing
21.5% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec, thereby increasing its
ownership to an aggregate of 49% of the outstanding share capital of Algatec.
The loan, together with interest at the rate of 6% per annum, is repayable
on
the earlier of December 31, 2011 or the completion of a proposed senior secured
debt financing for Algatec of up to $50.0 million (the “
Algatec
Financing
”).
In
the event that the Partnership timely funds the loan at the Second Closing,
the
Management Group will own 51% of the share capital of Algatec and the
Partnership will own 49% of the share capital of Algatec.
The
general partner of the Partnership is Algatec Management LLP, a Delaware limited
liability company owned by The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust and other
persons. Mr. Rubin and a business associate of Mr. Rubin are the managers of
the
general partner. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement, the
general partner agreed to invest a total of $165,000 in the Partnership in
consideration for 5.0% of the assets, profits and losses of the Partnership.
The
limited partners, who invested an aggregate of $3,200,000 at the First Closing
and additional persons the Partnership will seek to admit as limited partners
by
the Second Closing, will own 95.0% of the Partnership assets, profits and
losses. The Rubin Family Irrevocable Stock Trust invested an additional
$1,500,000, as a limited partner, on the same terms as other limited partners
of

any of the five fiscal years, and 200% of their annual salaries if such annual
EBIT is more than €10.0 million in any of the five fiscal years. Each of Messrs.
Ruschke, Malik, Jank and Freud have also agreed, for a period equal to the
greater of five years or the term of their individual employment with Algatec,
not to compete with the “business” of the Company (defined as (i) the
manufacture and sale of photovoltaic module equipment of all types, (ii) the
installation of turn-key module manufacturing facilities of all types; (iii)
the
manufacture and sale of photovoltaic cells or modules of all types; and (iv)
the

will be issued to all of the Algatec Stockholders, including 42,470,946 shares
to be issued to the Partnership or its partners in respect of its 49% equity
interest in Algatec, assuming the Partnership makes the additional $2,800,000
(approximately €2,000,000) loan at the Second Closing. In such connection,
assuming it makes no further investment in the Partnership, The Rubin Family
Irrevocable Stock Trust will receive as a partner of the Partnership (in
addition to its current ownership of 6,117,114 shares of Company Common Stock),
approximately an additional 10,511,558 shares of Company Common Stock. Through
their ownership of 51% of the Algatec share capital, Messrs. Ruschke, Malik,

that
other conditions to closing will be met to enable the Company to complete its
proposed acquisition of Algatec.

Item
2.
Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
The
Company operates in Hungary through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kraft, a
Hungarian corporation.
The
Company through its subsidiary is presently engaged in the design, development
and construction on behalf of its customers of both photovoltaic
manufacturing equipment and through strategic partners “turnkey”
manufacturing plants that produce photovoltaic thin film modules (though the
Company retains the right to deliver turnkey plants on its own account). The
Company expects the primary use of such photovoltaic thin film modules will
be
the construction of solar power plants by corporations and
governments.
Solar
Thin Films, in the future, may further vertically integrate itself within this
industry through activities in, but not limited to, investing in and/or
operating the module manufacturing plants, selling thin film photovoltaic
modules, and through its subsidiary formed in 2007, Solar Thin Power, installing
and/or managing solar power plants.
Critical
Accounting Estimates and Policies
The
Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management
to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets
and
liabilities. US GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates,
assumption and disclosures. The Company chooses accounting policies within
US
GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report
the Company's operating results and financial position in a consistent manner.
Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted
economic conditions. Accounting policies that management believes to be critical
to understanding the results of operations and the effect of the more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements are the same as those described in the Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with
SEC
on April 4, 2008.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any,
at
the date of the financial statements. The Company analyzes its estimates,
including those related to future contingencies and litigation. The Company
bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under
the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

Our

$(60,000) compared to $90,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007
due
to cancellation of scheduled research in 2008. In late 2005, the Company
suspended its research and development activity, while it signed a new contract
with RESI in the middle of December 2006 for a new agreement representing a
monthly charge of $30,000 until canceled during the third quarter in
2008.

convertible debentures into shares of our common stock.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired at 15%
interest in CG Solar, formerly WeiHai Blue Star Terra Photovoltaic Co., Ltd,
a
Sino-Foreign Joint Venture Company organized under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China. The investment of $1,500,000 is carried at cost under the
cost method of accounting for investment.
As
of
September 30, 2008, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
$933,412, a decrease of $3,224,064 from December 31, 2007. As described below,
the decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was principally
from i) $1,987,808 operating activities, ii) $1,500,000 investment in 15%
ownership of CG Solar and iii) deposit paid in acquiring property, plant and
equipment, net with borrowing on a short term basis.
As
of
September 30, 2008, we had working capital deficit of $3,702,842. We generated
a
deficit in cash flow from operations of $1,987,808 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. This deficit is primary attributable to our net loss of
$3,904,605, net with depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt
discount and deferred financing costs of $1,150,416 as well as $605,256 fair
value of vested options and warrants issued, minority interests of $13,683
and
the changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities. Note receivable
increased by $250,000. Accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances
received from customer increased by $909,842, and inventory, receivables,
prepaid expenses and other current assets increased (net) by $512,400.
Cash
flow
used by investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30,
2008
was $2,012,716, due to the acquisition of 15% interest in CG Solar of
$1,500,000, the purchase of property and equipment of $57,716 and deposit on
plant and equipment of $455,000.
We
met
our cash requirements during the period through borrowing $500,000 on a short
term basis
.
The
note is non interest bearing and is due on March 4, 2009. In addition, as a
consolidated group, we received
net
proceeds from the sale of common stock of our subsidiary, Solar Thin Power,
Inc
of $150,000 .
While
we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the
past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected
cash
flow requirements from operations and development. We believe, we have
sufficient cash on hand as of September 30, 2008 to meet our working capital
needs and requirements for the next twelve (12) months. However, we are seeking
additional financing, which may take the form of debt, convertible debt or
equity, in order to provide the additional working capital and funds for
expansion. We currently have no commitments for financing. There is no guarantee
that we will be successful in raising the funds required.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements and does not require any new fair value
measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair
value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) 157-2
,
“Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157”
(“FSP
157-2
),
which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the
financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. We have not yet determined the impact that
the implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on our non-financial assets and
liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however, we do not
anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including
an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
”
(“SFAS
No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of
the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value
option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
”
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS
No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided
the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “
Fair
Value Measurements
”. The
adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide
Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method
Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1
provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of
the
AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP
07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on
or
after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a
final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting
early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.
In
June
2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3), which requires that
nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or
rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred
and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related
services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability.
EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2007. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations
or
cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
"Business
Combinations"
("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how
an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in
an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in
a
business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the
first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption
is prohibited and we are currently evaluating the effect, if any that the
adoption will have on our consolidated financial position results of operations
or cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
"Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB
No. 51”
(“SFAS
No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority
interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets.
SFAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and we are
currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on our
consolidated financial position results of operations or cash
flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1,
“Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1
defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the
result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and
report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on
other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of
other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and
consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for
disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s
rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income
statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in
accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing
as of the effective date. We have not yet evaluated the potential impact of
adopting EITF 07-1 on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In
March
2008, the FASB” issued SFAS No. 161, “
Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133”
(“SFAS
No. 161”)
.
SFAS
No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early adoption encouraged. We are currently evaluating the
impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,
“Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”.
This FSP
amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”.
We
are required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January 1, 2009, earlier adoption is
prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life
of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
"
("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in
the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days
following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "
Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)
" ("FSP
APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets)
on
conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion
option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's
non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive
basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by
management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future
consolidated financial statements.

SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not
maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange
traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.
TRENDS,
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
We
have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors
before making an investment decision with respect to our Common
Stock.
CAUTIONARY
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
We
have
sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but
we
cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized
nor
can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might
arise.
INFLATION
AND FOREIGN CURRENCY
We
maintains our books in local currency: US Dollars for the parent holding Company
and Solar Thin Film Power, Inc. in the United States of America and Hungarian
Forint for Kraft in Hungary.
We
operate primarily outside of the United States through its wholly owned
subsidiary. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may
significantly affect our sales, profitability and financial position when the
foreign currencies, primarily the Hungarian Forint, of its international
operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. In
additional, we are also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to
certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. Although the
we
cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may or will affect
our
business and financial position, there is a risk that such fluctuations will
have an adverse impact on the sales, profits and financial position. Because
differing portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign
currency, movements could impact our margins by, for example, decreasing our
foreign revenues when the dollar strengthens and not correspondingly decreasing
our expenses. The Company does not currently hedge its currency exposure. In
the
future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange
risk.
The
translation of the Company’s subsidiaries forint denominated balance sheets into
U.S. dollars, as of September 30, 2008, has not been affected by the U.S. dollar
against the Hungarian forint due to recent strengthening of the U. S. dollar.
The currency has changed from 172.61 as of December 31, 2007, to 169.15 as
of
September 30, 2008, an approximate 2% depreciation in value. The average
Hungarian forint/U.S. dollar exchange rates used for the translation of the
subsidiaries forint denominated statements of operations into U.S. dollars,
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 162.97 and 186.68,
respectively.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
as
of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the
information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated
and
communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
A
controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives
of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within a company have been detected.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During
the most recent quarter ended September 30, 2008, there has been no change
in
our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)

reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
