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.

The net liabilities assumed is accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company’s capital structure and , accordingly the Company has charged the $ 6,681,891 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 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a material impact on its 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 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.

NOTE 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.

NOTE 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.

June 2006 Financing
 
In connection with the merger and corporate restructure on June 14, 2006 (see Note 1), the Company entered into a financing arrangement with several investors (the “June 2006 Investors”) pursuant to which it sold various securities in consideration of an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 consisting of the following securities:

The Series B Warrants and the Series D Warrants are exercisable only following the exercise of the Series A Warrants and the Series C Warrants, respectively, on a share by share basis.
 
The June 2006 Notes are interest free and mature in June 2009 and are convertible into the Company’s common stock, at the June 2006 Investors’ option, at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per share. The Company granted the June 2006 Investors a first priority security interest in all of its assets subject only to the secured convertible notes in the amount of $525,000 previously issued in 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 June 2006 Investors.

The Company granted the June 2006 Investors registration rights with respect to the June 2006 Shares, and the shares of common stock underlying the June 2006 Notes, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants. The Company is required to file a registration statement within 30 days from closing and have such registration statement declared effective within 90 days from closing if the registration statement is not reviewed or, in the event that the registration statement is reviewed, within 120 days from closing.

The June 2006 Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert the June 2006 Notes, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company’s 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.

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 and Convertible Notes issued to the investors. As of December 31, 2006, the Company recognized $2,777,778 of the proceeds, which is equal to 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 Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF - 0027”), the Company also recognized the relative value attributable to the common stock issued in the amount of $3,222,222 to additional paid in capital and a discount against the June 2006 Notes. Total debt discount to the June 2006 Notes amounted $6,000,000. The note discount is amortized over the maturity period of the notes, being (3) years.

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 warrants at December 31, 2006 has been recorded as a gain on revaluation of warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2006. Warrant liability at December 31, 2006 amounted to $1,465,500. On February 13, 2007, upon the registration statement being declared effective, the assumed liability of $10,821,900 was adjusted to additional paid in capital.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued a $500,000 non interest bearing note due on March 4, 2009.

Litigation

New York Medical, Inc. and Redwood Investment Associates, L.P. vs. American United Global, Inc., et al. (Supreme Court, New York State, New York County) . In this 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.

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 the Partnership.

The term “ Fully-Diluted Common Stock ” means the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as at the date of closing of the share exchange, after giving effect to (i) the issuance by the Company between the date of the First Closing and the closing of the share exchange of any Company Common Stock or shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock. However, Fully-Diluted Common Stock does not include, and the Algatec Stockholders will be subject to pro-rata dilution in connection with, (i) any shares of Company Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the 12,000,000 currently outstanding warrants expiring on June 30, 2010 that are exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $2.20 to $3.30 per share, or (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Algatec Financing.

Messrs. Ruschke, Malik and Jank have agreed to serve on the Company’s board of directors.

As at the date of this Current Report, there are an aggregate of 57,783,600 shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding.

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.

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.
 
OFF-BALANCE 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.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In this 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.
