PART I

ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Nexia’s current operations are conducted through its subsidiaries which consist of the operation of Black Chandelier, clothing and lifestyle retail operation with two stores located in the Salt Lake City, Utah market; Landis Salons, which operates two hair salons that sell Aveda™ products exclusively, and the leasing and selling of real estate. Nexia’s subsidiaries currently own and operate a 38,000 square foot retail/office building, an 11,000 square foot office building, and a 7,000 square foot retail building. All of these buildings are located in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area.

This report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties, including trends in the real estate investment market, projected leasing and sales and future prospects of Nexia’s retail operations. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors."

General

Nexia currently has three general areas in which it conducts business operations.  The oldest is the acquisition, leasing and selling of commercial real estate properties in the greater Salt Lake City, Utah area. A subsidiary of the Company holds ownership interests in Landis Salons, which operates two Landis Lifestyle Salons selling Aveda™ products exclusively.  These salons are located in Salt Lake City and Bountiful, Utah. At December 31, 2007 another subsidiary, Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. (“GFL”), operated 4 retail clothing stores under the name Black Chandelier in Utah and an online store at www.blackchandelier.com.  Subsequently, GFL closed two of the Black Chandelier stores and ceased operations on or around March 31, 2008.  Nexia executed upon its security interest in all of the assets of GFL and reinvested them into Style Perfect, Inc., a newly formed subsidiary that now operates two Black Chandelier retail locations and the online store.
 
The corporate structure as of May 13, 2008, is as set forth in the following chart:

Style Perfect, Inc.

Black Chandelier Operations

In August of 2006, Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company signed an asset purchase agreement with Diversified Holdings X, Inc. to acquire the rights, assets, inventories and receivables of the Black Chandelier clothing lines. Diversified Holdings X, Inc. is controlled by Richard Surber and is deemed an affiliate of Nexia. Included in Gold Fusion Laboratories’ operations were two retail outlets operated under the Black Chandelier label, in the Trolley Square and Gateway shopping centers located in Salt Lake City, as well as the online shopping site, www.blackchandelier.com.

Black Chandelier designs, produces, and manufactures a majority of all items sold in its stores that are sold under the trademarks, Black Chandelier, Jared Gold, Olfactory Surrealism, and Pink Chandelier. The stores also carry merchandise from Kill City Jeans, Le Sportsac, Taschen books, Lomography Cameras, 7 Diamonds, Seychelles Shoes, and Tokidoki Italy.

The first Black Chandelier retail store has been in operation for over three years at the Trolley Square location. Jared Gold designed a pilot store to be used as a model for the opening of additional stores; this store is located in the Gateway Shopping Center in downtown Salt Lake City. A virtual tour of this store can be viewed at http://www.blackchandelier.com/Gateway.html.

For the year 2007, Black Chandelier had gross revenues of $962,079.  Reported revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $323,352.  The Company has announced plans to explore the potential for opening additional stores in the U.S. and abroad over the next 3 to 5 years, subsequent to raising $1 to $1.5 million from funds through the S-1 filing or other sources.

Subsequent to the end of the year, Nexia exercised its security interest in the assets, inventory, and equipment held by Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. and used in the operations of Black Chandelier.  Nexia is currently managing the Black Chandelier operations and in an effort to consolidate operations and reduce expenses has closed the Fashion Place Mall location in Murray, Utah and the store located in Provo, Utah.

Black Chandelier is a lifestyle company that produces clothing, candles, and active wear. The mission of Black Chandelier is to offer products designed with deliberateness and wild inspiration that indulge an individual’s innate drive to be unique. The overarching concept is to provide the consumer with an affordable alternative to “mass-market” offerings by extending a product that conveys a sense of eccentricity that stands apart in quality, style, and price from most of the homogenous fare offered to consumers by the mainstream apparel market. The clothing items are produced in small runs keeping merchandise offered in the stores fresh.

Black Chandelier stands in a unique position to establish a niche market among its customers. The clothing, accessories and other products are designed with an edgy sophistication that allows customers to fulfill their need to express their uniqueness. The consumer base of Black Chandelier has a very large age range. Female shoppers vary in age from 15 to 65. The income ranges vastly among this large age spread; however the average is $37,000. This typical consumer is fashion conscious and follows current trends and subscribes to or reads several fashion oriented women’s magazines. The expanding men’s division has garnered a large fan base in the age group from 15 to 35. These consumers read weekly entertainment guides and local underground publications and fanzines.

The operations of Black Chandelier are subject to normal government regulation at the federal, state, and local level. Black Chandelier must comply with governmental regulation regarding employment, wages, access for handicapped and disabled persons, and other laws, rules, regulations and ordinances. Although there are no anticipated changes in existing local, state, or federal regulations; if changes should occur, Black Chandelier operations would adapt to such new regulations without any significant effect on revenues or operations. However, no assurances can be made that compliance or failure to comply with future regulations will not have a materially adverse effect on the business, operating results, or financial situation of Black Chandelier.
 
The Company believes that local competition for the Black Chandelier retail is Lollabella and JMR. This assumption is based on their marketing and customer demographics. Nationally Black Chandelier will face Diesel, Urban Outfitters, and Anthropologie. These specialty retailers manufacture their own goods as well as sell third party product, are nationally marketed, and maintain company operated boutiques in most major cities. Black Chandelier’s edge over its competition is its sales of exclusive product in a market that is presently saturated with larger brands. Ancillary items are purchased from other vendors in small amounts and with studied curation, in order to keep merchandise on the cutting edge. Although the apparel industry is mature and slow growing, it exists in a dynamic and competitive environment. The apparel industry is extremely competitive and highly fragmented. The power of the big retailers is a major challenge to any new designer and manufacturer; however, specialized product with limited distribution can create a unique identity among retailers.

Landis Salon

Nexia currently owns 85% of Landis Salons, Inc. (“Landis”) and 100% of Newby Salon LLC (“Newby”). Landis operates two AvedaTM lifestyle salons that feature AvedaTM products for retail sale. Nexia, subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2006, signed an agreement to acquire Mr. Surber’s 60% ownership interest in Landis. As consideration for that acquisition Nexia and Diversified Holdings I, Inc. delivered to Mr. Surber (1) a promissory note in the amount of $250,000, bearing interest at the rate of 24% per annum, due in five annual payments, (2) issuance of 75,000 shares of Nexia’s Class A Preferred Stock, and (3) issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Nexia’s Class B Preferred Stock. A 5% interest was acquired from Seth Bullough in exchange for the issuance by Nexia of 5,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock. Nexia purchased the second AvedaTM salon in the third quarter of 2007.  The Company now owns 100% of Newby Salon, LLC, a Utah limited liability company that owns and operates the Reflections Hair & Image Studio. The new salon will operate as an additional AvedaTM lifestyle salon that features AvedaTM products in its services and for sale to the public.  On November 9, 2007 the new salon was renamed as a Landis Salon. Landis Salon has two locations in the Salt Lake area and reported revenue of $2,025,281 during the year ended December 31, 2007. Additional information on the Landis Salons can be found on its website at www.landissalon.com.

Landis intends to limit the services offered in its salons to hair and makeup only. The current salons’ operations consist of three major components, an Aveda™ retail store, an advanced hair salon, and a training academy (for the training of future staff about the culture, services, and products provided by Landis). Pricing of hair services will reflect the experience level of the stylists with the training academy ranging from $16 to $25 and the advanced hair salon from $30 to $75. The design of the studio is intended to look clean, comfortable, and modern, appealing to both genders and all age groups.

The target market for Landis is 70% female and 30% male, seeking customers with high expectations at a reasonable cost. The average customer in Salt Lake City is expected to visit the salon 7-9 times a year, spending an average of $47 on services and purchasing $15 of retail Aveda™ product with each visit. The current location was selected for its central location to the Salt Lake market area, the high income demographics available within easy driving distance and the trendy, upwardly mobile nature of the area. The primary marketing efforts of Landis will be word of mouth, supplemented by carefully selected advertising campaigns, and seeking referrals from the existing customer base.
 
The operations of Landis are subject to normal government regulation at the federal, state and local level. Landis must comply with governmental regulation regarding employment, wages, access for handicapped and disabled persons and other laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. Although there are no anticipated changes in existing local, state, or federal regulations, if changes should occur, Landis Salon operations would adapt to such new regulations without any significant effect on revenues or operations. However, no assurances can be made that compliance or failure to comply with future regulations will not have a materially adverse effect on the business, operating results or financial situation of Landis.
 
Primary competition will come from salons offering above-and-beyond customer service in the Salt Lake area market. Currently identified as offering this level of competition are salons named, Lunatic Fringe, Salon Zazou, and Salon RZ. Landis will also be in competition with large scale hair cutting operations such as Great Clips, Supercuts, and Fantastic Sams; although these operations do not compete in offering the extra services and products that Landis offers.

Overview of the Salt Lake City Real Estate Market

Trends in the current Salt Lake City real estate market are favorable in some respects to the Company’s real estate holdings. In general, these trends are as follows: the significant growth of retail sales in the city; increased interest in Salt Lake from specialty retailers; relatively low vacancy rates for retail space in the area; estimated slowdowns in the rate of new retail space construction; and Utah economic indicators pointing to above-average retail sales.

For purposes of the following discussion Class A office space is defined as a building that has excellent location and access, attracts high quality tenants, and are managed professionally. Rents are competitive with other new buildings. Class B buildings have good locations, management, and construction and tenant standards are high. Buildings have very little functional obsolescence and deterioration. Class C buildings are typically 15 to 25 years old but are maintaining steady occupancy and demand lower rent than Class B buildings.

Significant Growth. According to the Year-End 2006 Market Review of Commerce CRG published by national real estate broker Cushman & Wakefield, in the Salt Lake City office market “more than 1.45 million square feet of office space were absorbed in the Salt Lake valley in 2005”. This change represents greater absorption numbers than in the last three years combined.” The overall vacancy rate was 10.28% in 2006, a 0.53% drop from 2005 figures and a drop of 4.97% from 2004 figures. The closing of a major office center in the central business district has reduced available space and could provide additional impetus for the construction of new projects. Salt Lake City has, during the recent past, attracted new attention from national tenants seeking space in the area.

These reported trends have not, however, led to significant increased occupancy in Class C office buildings or retail space which would cover the holdings of Nexia at the present time, excluding a portion of the Wallace building that we own which is Class A office space. Vacancies in such buildings have remained much higher as the higher class buildings have completed tenant improvements to their space to attract new tenants, Class C vacancy rates were reported at 25.14% for the year of 2006 compared to an overall vacancy rate of 9.88% for the central business district. However, for retail space, lease rates for Class A space have reached record highs and may encourage local retailers to move into Class B and C spaces with their lower lease rates.

All of the retail space in the Wallace/Bennett buildings owned by our subsidiary Wasatch Capital is currently leased. The retail space of 7,000 square feet in the buildings located at 1374 South State Street are fully leased at this time. The balance of the Company’s holdings in the Salt Lake City market are of office or studio space. Plans have been made to improve the vacant spaces and ready them for more aggressive marketing.
 
Our Plan to Acquire and to Sell Commercial Properties

Our business plan is to buy more properties that we believe are undervalued compared to their cash flows and estimated resale value. We are looking for properties with sufficient rental income to enable us to cover the operating costs of our overall portfolio. We will sell properties when market conditions are favorable.

Our strategy is to identify properties with a favorable financing arrangement already in place, assume that financing, and satisfy any new down-payment with a relatively nominal cash payment. We plan to lease primarily to commercial tenants. We are prepared to make limited improvements to our properties so that we can increase occupancy, improve cash flows, and enhance potential resale value. We do not plan to limit the geographical area in which we buy properties; however, given our current financial condition, we will most likely seek properties in the Salt Lake City area.


 
7

 

From time to time, we will sell our commercial properties when favorable market conditions enable us to do so. While we are actively seeking tenants for all our properties, our real estate agents are also seeking buyers for those properties. Our goal ultimately is to maximize profits and not necessarily to be landlords.

The Company has currently signed two real-estate purchase contracts. The contract price for the Kearns building is $765,000 and for the Downtown building is $1,050,000. The closing on the two buildings is subject to due diligence.

Employees 

Nexia’s wholly owned subsidiary Diversified Holdings I, Inc. currently employs 8 people on a full time basis and from time to time hires outside contractors to perform various services as required by the operations of the Company. Landis Salons, Inc. has approximately 53 employees and Style Perfect, Inc. the operator of the Black Chandelier stores has approximately 13 employees.

Risk Factors

An investment in the common stock of the Company is risky. The common stock of the Company inherently involves a high degree of risk, and investors should carefully consider the possibility of incurring a significant loss. Given this possibility, we encourage investors to evaluate the following risk factors and all other information contained in this report, public disclosures, and other filing by the Company with the SEC before buying the common stock of Nexia. Any of the following risks, alone or together, could adversely affect our business, our financial condition, or the results of our operations, and therefore the value of your Nexia common stock. 

Risks Related to Nexia’s Business

There is substantial doubt about Nexia’s ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient revenues to cover our operating costs, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding.

Our independent auditors added a going concern qualification to each of their reports issued in connection with their audit of our December 31, 2007 and 2006 financial statements. The auditors noted in their report that Nexia generated significant losses from operations, had an accumulated deficit of $24,181,911 and a working capital deficit of $1,022,573 as of December 31, 2007. These factors raise substantial doubt about Nexia’s ability to continue as a going concern. These general conditions continued through the first quarter of 2008, resulting in additional deficits in the operations of the Company.

Management anticipates that Nexia will incur net losses for the year end results of December 31, 2008. To the extent that Nexia does not generate additional revenue from its existing properties, existing retail operations, acquire additional properties that generate revenue, obtain additional funding, that its stock price does not increase, that additional adjustments are not made to decrease operating expenses, Nexia may not have the ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements which accompany this filing do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Real Estate

Nexia's real estate investments are inherently risky and dependent on rental income.


 
8

 

Real estate investments are inherently risky. The value of a company’s real estate investments depends largely on the rental income and the capital appreciation generated by the properties which the company owns. If our properties do not generate enough cash flow from rental income to meet operating expenses (such as debt service, capital expenditures, and tenant improvements), our ability to develop our real estate business and have it become profitable will be adversely affected.

Income from real estate investments may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

 
w
the general economic climate and local real estate conditions (such as too much supply or too little demand for rental space, as well as changes in market rental rates);

 
w
prospective tenants' perceptions of a building's safety, convenience, and attractiveness, or the overall appeal of a particular building;

 
w
the property owner's ability to provide adequate management, maintenance, and insurance;

 
w
expenses for periodically renovating, repairing, and re-letting spaces;

 
w
falling operating costs for competing properties, which would allow them to undercut our rental rates;

 
w
rising unemployment rates in the area, which may reduce the demand for rental space;

 
w
adverse changes in zoning laws, tax laws, or other laws affecting real estate or businesses in the area;

 
w
damage from earthquakes or other natural disasters;

 
w
mortgage interest rates and the availability of financing.

Some significant expenses associated with real estate investment (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs) are fixed and generally can not be reduced if circumstances cause lower rental incomes from a building. For example, if we can not meet the mortgage payments, we could lose some or all of our investment in a building due to foreclosure by the holder of the lien on the property.
 
Our real estate investments have limited liquidity and no certainty of capital appreciation.

Our real estate investments have limited liquidity. Real estate investments in general are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. We cannot ascertain whether we will be able to sell an investment when a sale would be advantageous or necessary. The sale price may not be enough to recoup the amount of our investment. Nexia can provide no assurance that the value of its properties will appreciate.

There are numerous uncertainties in estimating real estate values and prospective appreciation value. The estimated values set forth in appraisals are based on various comparisons to other property sales; predictions about market conditions such as demand, vacancy rates, prospective vacancy rates, renewal terms, and other factors; assumptions about the property’s condition, conformance with laws and regulations, absence of material defects; estimates of lease revenues and operating expenses; and other factors. Any significant change in these comparisons, predictions, assumptions, and estimates, most of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect the market values and appreciation potential of our properties.

We compete with substantially larger companies to acquire suitable buildings.

The commercial real estate market is highly competitive. We compete with substantially larger companies for the acquisition, development, and operation of properties that fit within the parameters of our business plan. Some of these companies are national or regional companies with far greater resources than ours. The presence of these competitors may significantly impede our business growth or survival.

Nexia's ability to generate enough revenue to operate its real estate holdings profitably is dependent on the ability to attract tenants and ensure that tenants meet their lease obligations.

Our business would be severely affected resulting from the loss of revenues that would occur if our current tenants fail to meet lease obligations or, if upon failure to meet lease obligations, we were unable to enter into new viable leases for the resulting vacant space. Further, if a tenant defaulted on a lease, we might experience a delay before the courts enforced our rights against the tenant. Our ability to lease the space during any court enforced action would be seriously impaired. Failure of a tenant’s business through bankruptcy would also reduce or eliminate our revenue flow. We can provide no assurance that tenants will faithfully meet their lease obligations or that tenants will not be impaired through some form of business failure or otherwise, with the result that our ability to operate our business would be materially and negatively affected. During 2007 the rate of default on tenant’s obligations billed during that period was 3%.  A total of 17,760 square feet of space, or 48% of the rentable square feet available to the Company, are represented by leases that will expire within the next 12 months or are currently being leased on a month to month basis.

Our ability is questionable to satisfy fixed operating costs that may rise over time and which cannot be reduced in response to any decrease in our rental income, or passed through to our tenants.

Our ability to satisfy fixed operating costs associated with our property could be seriously affected by any rise in expenses such as: mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, cleaning, ventilation, air-conditioning, security, landscaping, building repairs and maintenance. While our tenants must often pay a portion of these escalating costs, there can be no assurance that they will agree to any increase in current fixed costs or that any increase in tenant payments would cover increased operating costs. Our current fixed costs for any future time period cannot be reduced in response to any decrease in rental income resulting from vacancies or non payment of rent and our ability to operate would be severely affected by any increase in the costs associated with owning our property.
 
All of Nexia’s material real estate holdings are located in the Salt Lake City, Utah market making the Company vulnerable to changes in economic conditions in that market.

All of Nexia’s material real estate holdings are located in the Salt Lake City, Utah market which creates a greater risk of harm from a downturn in that single market as compared to wider more diversified holdings in several geographic areas. Any significant change in the office or retail space in the Salt Lake City market will directly affect Nexia’s real estate operations.

Nexia may invest in properties in other real estate markets outside of the Salt Lake City, Utah area where the Company has no experience.

Nexia may make selected acquisitions or develop properties outside the area of its current focus of Salt Lake City, Utah as appropriate opportunities are located or as they may arise. No area outside of Salt Lake City has been identified nor has any market area been excluded from consideration. The historical experience of Nexia is in the Salt Lake City market area, and management may not be able to operate successfully in other market areas. Some of the risks in operating in new market areas would include: a lack of market knowledge and understanding of the local economies, an inability to identify promising acquisition or development opportunities, an inability to obtain qualified development and maintenance personnel, and a lack of familiarity with local government and permitting procedures. Any of these factors could cause Nexia to incur costs greater than anticipated and limit the success of any acquisition and development that may be undertaken, which would reduce the Company’s profitability and limit its growth.

We will need new funding, which may not be available, in order to fully execute our real estate business plan and maintain operations.

Our real estate business plan, “buying undervalued buildings”, will depend on our ability to raise more money. Management and shareholders have not committed to provide new funding. Except for that funding we hope to obtain as a result of selling our common stock to Dutchess, as detailed in the Company’s SB-2 filings, we have not investigated other sources, availability, or terms for new funding. There is no assurance that funding will be available from any source or, if available, that it can be obtained on acceptable terms. If we can not obtain new funding, our operations could be severely limited.

We project that in 2008 and beyond, our salon and retail store businesses will be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet their internal financial needs. We project the cash burn rate for the next twelve months, for the Company’s general needs and rental operations will be approximately $1,320,000. Funds to cover the burn rate will come from excess reduction in cash employee expenses through stock issuance, $750,000; and sale of stocks from an investment portfolio of at least $200,000. The total provided to cover the Company’s general needs and the rental operations will be approximately $950,000. The Company will need to find funding to cover the additional $370,000 needed to maintain current operations. These amounts do not include any funds that may be received from the Dutchess equity line of credit.

Environmental liability could affect our real estate investments.

Various federal, state and local environmental laws make a real estate owner liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on a property. These laws often impose environmental liability regardless of whether the owner was responsible or knew of the presence of hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent a property or to borrow using the property as collateral. No assurance can be given that the environmental assessments of our properties revealed all environmental liabilities, or that a material, adverse environmental condition does not exist on our properties.

We may face an uninsured loss.

Owners of real estate are subject to certain types of losses such as civil disturbance or pollution, which are either uninsurable or too expensive to insure. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, Nexia's investment in our real properties, as well as anticipated future revenues could be lost. Meanwhile, obligations on any mortgage debt for the properties would continue. Accordingly, any uninsured loss could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

The Americans With Disabilities Act and similar legislation may increase our costs.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1980 (ADA) requires that commercial facilities and places of public accommodation be accessible to disabled people. A number of additional federal, state and local laws impose other requirements on owners concerning access by disabled people. We may need to make both structural and non-structural changes to our property in order to comply with the ADA and similar laws. Noncompliance could result in government fines or an award of damages to a private litigant. We have not been informed that any of our properties fail to comply with such laws. However, we may incur costs, which we cannot fully ascertain now, to ensure compliance in the future. While we do not expect the prospective costs of compliance to have a material effect on our operations, a potential for substantial costs exists. If changes are required, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Management

We are dependent on key personnel, specifically Richard Surber, and we have an employment agreement with him.

We are dependent on the services of Richard Surber, our President. We have an employment agreement with Mr. Surber through December 2011. Losing his services would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business. Mr. Surber serves as an Officer and Director of Nexia. Mr. Surber is currently employed by other businesses, and he will only allocate a portion of his time (estimated at an average of 50 hours per week) to the business of Nexia and its subsidiaries. Therefore, there is a risk that he might not devote enough time to Nexia in fulfilling our business plan. Further, Nexia has a limited number of full time employees.
 
Our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance.

To provide for adequate management, maintenance and insurance for the properties owned by Nexia, rental income will need to exceed the operating costs for those properties. Vacancies, falling rents, bankruptcy of tenants, unexpectedly higher maintenance costs or a loss not covered by insurance could adversely affect the ability of Nexia to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance for its properties. If these services are not provided on an adequate basis, deterioration of the property would have a severely negative impact on Nexia.

Nexia has hedged its risk of losing any key employees by having Anthony Newby serve as the Chief Operating Officer to assist and help with growing Black Chandelier and Landis Salons, Inc.

Risks related to Nexia’s and its predecessors’ operating histories

In the current market, Nexia has not relied upon the sellers of real property to finance its real estate investments. Nexia has obtained the necessary funding on its own. However, Nexia and its predecessors have attempted in recent years to compete in other market trends which were not successful. For example, Nexia signed an agreement to acquire Creative Marketing Group, Inc. which holds a license to market coffee maker filters and ground coffee beans under the “Mr. Coffee” name. In another example, Nexia attempted to close on a manufacturing and repair company. In each of these situations, the executive management of Nexia and its predecessors was the same. In each of these failed attempts, Nexia attempted to acquire an existing business based on the incorrect information that the selling shareholder group would obtain the necessary financing to support the ongoing business of the franchise. Based upon past performance, there is the possibility that Nexia’s executive management may in the future commit resources to an acquisition that ultimately proves to be unsound and damages the Company financially.

We cannot predict our future capital needs and may not be able to secure additional funding.

Nexia’s management estimates that the Company’s current “burn rate,” the current rate at which expenses exceed revenue, is approximately $110,000 per month, or $1,320,000 per year. We will need to raise additional funds within the next twelve months in order to fund the current level of operations of the Company. We expect that the majority of these funds will come from the sale of our common shares to Dutchess or the sale or transfer of some of our preferred shares to private investors. Either method of funding could result in a significant dilution of ownership interests by the holders of our common stock.

Changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends can have a negative impact on our financial performance.

Both Landis Salons, Inc. and Black Chandelier operations could be negatively impacted by unforeseen and unfavorable changes in consumer tastes and fashion trends away from those targeted by the marketing and sales efforts of Landis and Black Chandelier. As these tastes and trends are not predictable and their effect on the operations of either retail operation cannot be estimated in advance, great effort is made in the operations of both companies to ensure that their products and services reasonably and adequately anticipate the business operation changes for each company. However, there is no way to assure success with these efforts.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock held by Richard Surber creates an anti-takeover or change of control limitation. Richard Surber currently holds voting control of Nexia through his ownership of voting preferred stock.

The ten million shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by Richard Surber provide him with voting control over any proposal requiring a vote of the shareholders. Through his ownership of 10,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company, he holds voting rights equal to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock. This effectively gives him a veto over any attempt to take over or change control of the Company. Such an event would include a vote by the board of directors to conduct a reverse split of the common stock. The shares held by Mr. Surber thus have a strong anti-takeover effect. His interests may not always conform to the interests of the common stockholders, in general, and thus his voting rights may not always be exercised in the best interests of the common stockholders of the Company. The issuance of 8 million preferred shares was to compensate Mr. Surber for serving as the personal guarantor of the loans used to acquire all of the real estate holdings currently under the Company’s control, and an additional 2 million shares were recently issued as partial compensation for the transfer of Mr. Surber’s interest in Landis, LLC.

The Company has concluded discussions with the Department of Commerce in the State of Utah concerning private offerings made by the Company and their compliance with Utah regulations.

In October of 2006, the State of Utah through its Department of Commerce requested information from the Company to determine the compliance with Utah regulations regarding all offerings made by the Company within the past five years.  Preliminary indications were that some shares have been issued within the State of Utah without full compliance with registration or qualification requirements under the securities laws of Utah.  These discussions have led to the Company agreeing to offer a right of rescission to all residents of the state of Utah whose purchase of shares from the Company was not made in full compliance with registration or qualification requirements in the State of Utah.  After making an offer of rescission to all Utah residents and several non-residents, none of those offers was accepted and the matter has been closed with the state of Utah.

Risks Related to Landis Salons, Inc. Operation of Landis Lifestyle Salon

The Landis Lifestyle Salon operations are dependent on key personnel.

The operations of the two Landis Lifestyle Salons are dependent on the day to day management of current staff at these locations who works in the salon and trains its personnel. Losing the services of these long term employees would likely have an adverse effect on the operations and business development of the salon business owned and operated by Landis Salons, Inc.


 
13

 

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain trained stylists in order to support our existing salon business and to staff future expansion.

Landis is actively recruiting qualified candidates to fill stylist positions for the salons. There is substantial competition for experienced personnel in this area, which we expect to continue. We will compete for experienced candidates with companies who have substantially greater financial resources than we do. If we fail to attract, motivate and retain qualified stylists, it could harm our business and limit our ability to be successful and hamper expansion plans. For example, we will depend upon the expertise and training abilities of our current staff and management at the Landis Lifestyle Salons. Since we do not maintain insurance policies on any of our employees, if we lose the services of any key officers or employees it could harm our business and results of operations.

We face significant competition in the salon business, which could harm our sales and profitability

The primary competition to Landis operations will come from salons offering above-and-beyond customer service in the Salt Lake Area market. Currently identified as offering this level of competition are salons named, Lunatic Fringe, Salon Zazou and Salon RZ. Landis will also be in competition with large scale hair cutting operations such as Great Clips, Supercuts, and Fantastic Sams, though these operations do not compete in offering the extra services and products that Landis offers.
 
The loss of distribution rights to the Aveda™ line of products would damage the operation of the Landis Lifestyle Salon and have a significant and negative impact on its ability to operate and generate revenues.

Landis Salons, Inc. operates the Landis Lifestyle Salons and has a Retail Product Use Agreement with a distributor of the Aveda™ line of products, which are used exclusively in the services provided to customers of the salon and offered for retail sale at the salon location. Loss of the right to sell Aveda™ product would have a significant and negative impact on the operation of the salons and their ability to generate revenues from either retail sales of health and beauty products or from providing services to consumers at the salon. Landis believes that the high quality and reputation of this line of products is key to its current operations and future success.

Changes in consumer tastes and hairstyling trends can have a negative impact on our financial performance.

Landis’ salon operations could be negatively impacted by unforeseen and unfavorable changes in consumer tastes and hairstyling trends away from those targeted by the marketing and sales efforts of Landis. As these tastes and trends are not predictable and their effect on the operations of the salon cannot be estimated in advance, great effort is made in the operations of the salon to ensure that its products and services reasonably and adequately anticipate such changes and that theses changes are met with modifications in the salon’s operations to ensure continued consumer demand for its services and products. However, there is no way to assure success with these efforts.

Risks Related to Operation of Black Chandelier Clothing Line

The success of the Black Chandelier business plan depends in large part on our ability to identify fashion trends and to react to changing customer demand in a timely manner.

Consequently, we depend, in part, upon favorable market response to the creative efforts of the Black Chandelier operation.

Failure on our part to anticipate, identify, and respond effectively to changing consumer demands and fashion trends will adversely affect our sales.

If we are unable to obtain raw materials, or find manufacturing facilities, our financial condition may be harmed. Outside of a small sample room, we do not own any manufacturing facilities, and therefore depend on a limited number of third parties to manufacture our products. We place all of our orders for production of merchandise and raw materials by purchase order and do not have any long-term contracts with any manufacturer or supplier. If we fail to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials, it could have a harmful effect on the results of our operations. Furthermore, we may receive shipments of products from manufacturers that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In such an event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we may lose sales. If we fail to maintain favorable relationships with these production facilities, or fail to obtain an adequate supply of quality raw materials on commercially reasonable terms, it could harm our business and results of operations.
 
Gold Fusion will be dependent on third party manufacturers for production, and its sales may be negatively affected if the manufacturers do not perform acceptably, or if design changes are communicated after the production has begun.

We will develop a significant portion of our merchandise in conjunction with third-party apparel manufacturers. In some cases, we select merchandise directly from these manufacturers’ lines. We do not have long-term contracts with any third party manufacturers and will purchase all of the merchandise from such manufacturers by purchase order. Furthermore, we may receive, in the future, shipments of products from third-party apparel manufacturers that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In such an event, unless we are able to obtain replacement products in a timely manner, we may lose sales. We cannot assure you that third party manufacturers (1) will not supply similar products to our competitors, (2) will not stop supplying products to us completely or, (3) will supply products that satisfy our quality control standards. In addition, certain of our third party manufacturers will store our raw materials. In the event our inventory is damaged or destroyed, and we are unable to obtain replacement raw materials, our ability to generate earnings may be negatively impacted. In addition, if we decide to change a key design element, after the manufacturing process has begun, we may negatively impact the manufacturer's ability to deliver the products on a timely basis, which could impact our ability to generate earnings.
 
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees in order to support our existing business and future expansion.

We are actively recruiting qualified candidates to fill key executive positions within the Company. There is substantial competition for experienced personnel, which we expect to continue. We will compete for experienced personnel with companies who have substantially greater financial resources than we do. If we fail to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel, it could harm our business and limit our ability to be successful. For example, we will depend upon the expertise and design talents of Jared Gold, the founder of the Black Chandelier line of products. Since we do not maintain insurance policies on any of our employees, if we lose the services of any key officers or employees, like Mr. Gold, it could harm our business and results of operations.

We face significant competition in the retail and apparel industry, which could harm our sales and profitability.

The retail and apparel industries are highly competitive and are characterized by low barriers to entry. We expect competition in our markets to increase. The primary competitive factors in our markets are: brand name recognition, sourcing strategies, product styling, quality, presentation and pricing, timeliness of product development and delivery, customer service, and convenience. We compete with specialty store retailers, business to consumer websites, off-price retailers and direct marketers for, among other things, raw materials, market share, finished goods, sourcing and personnel. Because many of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater financial, distribution and marketing resources than we do, we may lack the resources to adequately compete with them. If we fail to compete in any way, it could harm our business, financial condition, and future results of operations.


 
15

 

Purchases of the merchandise we sell are generally discretionary and are therefore particularly susceptible to economic slowdowns.

If economic conditions are not favorable or if they should suffer a downward trend, our retail businesses, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases, including purchases of fashion products and high-end home products, during periods in which favorable economic conditions prevail.

If we are not able to successfully protect our intellectual property, our ability to capitalize on the value of the Black Chandelier brand name may be impaired.

Even though we intend to take actions to establish, register and protect our trademarks and other proprietary rights, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful. These include the use of the existing Black Chandelier trademark and other product lines developed by Jared Gold that have been acquired by Gold Fusion Laboratories and newly developed products as well.  There is a risk that others will imitate our products or infringe upon our intellectual property rights. In addition, we cannot assure you that others will not resist or seek to block the sale of our products as infringements of their trademark and proprietary rights. We are seeking to register our trademarks in the United States markets and other markets as they develop demand. In some of these markets, obstacles exist that may prevent us from obtaining a trademark for the Black Chandelier or related names. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions, despite successful registration of our trademarks, third parties may allege infringement and bring actions against us. We are not aware of any actual infringement by our products on any other trademarked product.

If an independent manufacturer violates labor or other laws, is accused of violating any such laws, or if their labor practices diverge from those generally accepted as ethical, it could harm our business and brand image.

While all our manufacturers are contractually required to comply with ethical labor practices, we cannot control the actions or public perception of such manufacturers, nor can we assure that these manufacturers will conduct their businesses using ethical or legal labor practices. Apparel companies may be held jointly liable for the wrongdoings of those that manufacture their products. While we do not control independent manufacturer’s employment conditions, or their business practices, people in general act in their own self-interest, and may act in a manner that produces a negative public perception of the Company. Accordingly, we could receive negative publicity or perhaps a court determination that we are jointly liable for such improper practices.
 
Additional capital is necessary to implement the Company's Business Plan for Black Chandelier operations. 
 
The Company does not believe that it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and operating income to maintain its business at its existing level through the next 12 months. The Black Chandelier operation will require significant new capital in order to execute its business plan. The Company’s success in raising this capital will depend upon its ability to access equity capital markets. We may not be able to do so, or do so on acceptable terms. If the Company fails to obtain funds on acceptable terms, it will not be able to execute the Black Chandelier business plan and would have to delay or abandon some or all of its plans for growth.

Risks Related to Investment

Nexia expects the price of its common stock to be volatile. As a result, investors could suffer greater market losses in a down market than they might experience with a more stable stock. Volatility in our stock may also increase the risk of having to defend a securities class action suit, which could be expensive and divert management’s attention from managing Nexia’s business.

The market price of Nexia’s common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, such as:

 
·
Significant dilution
 
·
Actual or anticipated variation in the results of operations
 
·
Announcements of acquisitions
 
·
Changes in the areas of operations of the company
 
·
Conditions and trends in the real estate market in Salt Lake City, Utah and nationally

The stock markets generally, and the OTC Bulletin Board in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated and disproportionate to the operating performance of a particular company. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate or international currency fluctuations, may adversely affect the market for the common stock of the company. In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies after periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If such a class action suit is brought against the Company it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would hurt business operations.

Our stock value is dependent on our ability to generate net cash flows.

A large portion of any potential return on our common stock will be dependent on our ability to generate net cash flows.

If we can not operate our commercial property and/or retail operations at a net profit, there will be no return on shareholders’ equity, and this could result in a loss of share value. No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate at a net profit now or in the future.
 
Our stock may be subject to significant restrictions on resale due to federal penny stock regulations.

Our stock differs from many stocks because it is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted a number of rules to regulate penny stocks. These rules require that a broker or dealer, prior to entering into a transaction with a customer, must furnish certain information related to the penny stock. The information that must be disclosed includes quotes on the bid and offer, any form of compensation to be received by the broker in connection with the transaction and information related to any cash compensation paid to any person associated with the broker or dealer.

These rules may affect your ability to sell our shares in any market that may develop for Nexia stock. Should a market for our stock develop among dealers, it may be inactive. Investors in penny stocks are often unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold it to them. The mark-ups or commissions charged by broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller can make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold it to them. In some cases, the stock value may fall quickly. Investors may be unable to gain any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.


 
17

 

Potential investors should be aware that, according to the SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

 
·
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 
·
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 
·
boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

 
·
excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 
·
the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade over-the-counter bulletin board securities. As a result, you may not be able to buy or sell our securities at the times you may wish.

Even though our securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, that may not permit our investors to sell securities when and in the manner that they wish. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. When investors place market orders to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and its execution.
 
If we fail to remain current on the reporting requirements that apply to Nexia, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities.

Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as Nexia, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, shares of our common stock could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result of that removal, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.  We filed late on our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2006.  If we file late two more times, within one year on any of our quarterly or annual reports, we will be removed from the OTCBB and become traded on the Pink Sheets.

Reports to Security Holders

We are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and do not plan to send a copy of the annual report to them. If we choose to create an annual report, it will contain audited financial statements. We intend to file all required information with the SEC. We plan to file with the SEC our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and all other forms that are or may become applicable to us.

The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. We have filed all statements and forms with the SEC electronically, and they are available for viewing or copy on the SEC's Internet site, that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Location and Description

Each of our properties competes with other general retail or office space in the greater Salt Lake City market. Occupancy rates for the area as a whole will most significantly impact our properties and the efforts to improve and upgrade the properties will enhance our ability to obtain tenants and maintain occupancy rates that will sustain the operating costs of the properties themselves.

Wasatch Capital Corporation ("Wasatch")

Wasatch, a 100% owned subsidiary of Nexia, owns the Wallace-Bennett Building, located at 55-65 West 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah. The building is a 36,797 square foot, turn-of-the-century multi-story office building. The building was acquired in November of 1994 for a price of $800,000.

At the beginning of 2004, only the ground level was suitable for rent as retail space. The ground level comprises 7,816 square feet or 21% of the Building. A portion of this space is currently leased to Richard Wirick, the owner of the Oxford Shoe Shop, a retail outlet for men's shoes, for a monthly rental of $1,055 for 1350 square feet. A lounge occupies 1,900 square feet of the ground floor retail space at a monthly rental of $2,936 for the first year of a five year term ending February, 2013. A restaurant and an art gallery occupy the balance of the ground floor space. The average annual effective rental for the rentable ground level space is $15.21 per square foot or $118,917 in gross rental income. Tenants by contract are liable for their pro-rata shares of the taxes and insurance on the building and each tenant is liable for its own utilities.

In late 2004, the Company occupied a portion of the second floor as its main offices for which remodeling work was mostly completed during the year ended 2004. The Company occupies a total of 3,600 square feet and has space that includes a conference room and office space for the legal, accounting and executive employees of the Company. The renovations of the second floor incurred expenses totaling approximately $560,000 as of December 31, 2006.

Wasatch, on or about August 23, 2006, closed on a $1,000,000 refinancing of the Wallace-Bennett Building with a new loan secured by the building. The terms of the loan include a total loan in the sum of $1,000,000; a term of 10 years, with an interest rate of 7.125% fixed for ten years and provides for monthly payments based upon a 30 year amortization. The loan was personally guaranteed by Richard D. Surber, Nexia's President and C.E.O. Proceeds from the new financing were used to retire the prior loan secured by the building in the sum of $812,053 and included a cash payment of $149,572 to Wasatch. Wasatch intends to improve the remaining upper floor space as office space, studio locations and production space for low impact business. The terms set forth above, reclassify the loan held by Wasatch Capital from short-term debt to long-term debt which has substantially increased Nexia’s working capital.

Management believes that the building is adequately insured.

Downtown Development, Corp. ("DDC")

DDC, a 99.08% owned subsidiary of Nexia, owns a one story retail building located at 1374 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, which it purchased on December 1, 1999 for $535,000. The balance on the financing owing at December 31, 2007 was $559,749. The building was appraised at $600,000 in November of 2002. In December of 2002, DDC obtained permanent financing with Community First National Bank; the loan bears interest at the rate of 7.16% per annum, with monthly payments of $3,061, with a final balloon payment due on December 5, 2012 (estimated amount $260,800). The loan was personally guaranteed by Richard D. Surber, Nexia's President and C.E.O. The building is 7,000 square feet, one story tall and constructed in the late 1960's. A bakery currently occupies 2,500 square feet of retail space under a lease in the building and a retail sporting equipment outlet leases the remaining 4,500 square footage of the building. DDC expended $34,100 through March 31, 2004 in renovations to the space occupied by the bakery in the property. The tenants are liable for their pro-rata share of the taxes and insurance for the building as well as their use of utilities. This figure does not include substantial improvements made by the tenant to the same portion of the property. The retail space in the building competes for tenants with other retail space on State Street which is a commercial zone for over one mile in each direction from the property.

DDC, on August 18, 2006, closed on the purchase of a lot immediately adjacent to the above described property and building located at 1374 South State Street. The total purchase price for the property was $250,000. This purchase price was financed with a short term (90 days) loan. The additional property is being used by a current tenant.

On September 21, 2006, DDC closed on refinancing of the loans on the building and lot on South State Street. A loan in the sum of $568,000 was secured from Cyprus Credit Federal Credit Union. The loan bears interest at the rate of 7.00% per annum, with monthly payments of $3,779, with a final balloon payment due on September 22, 2016 (estimated amount $491,000). The loan was personally guaranteed by Richard D. Surber, Nexia’s president and C.E.O. The remaining balance due to Rich Investment, LLC in the sum of $57,000 was restated in a new note bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum.  The $57,000 new note was repaid in full on March 15, 2007. The Company has signed a real estate purchase contract to sell the building for $1,050,000. The purchase closing is subject to due diligence.

Management believes the property held by DDC is adequately insured.
 
Kearns Development Corporation. ("Kearns")

Kearns, a 99% owned subsidiary of Nexia, owns one office building located on West Sams Boulevard in Kearns, Utah (a suburb of the Greater Salt Lake area). The building contains approximately 11,709 square feet of total floor space in a single story. The building was purchased on November 29, 2000 for a total price of $750,000. The purchase was financed with a $625,000 first mortgage from Brighton Bank with an initial variable rate of 10.97% amortized over 25 years and monthly payments of $5,632. The loan was personally guaranteed by Richard D. Surber, Nexia's President and C.E.O. This property was refinanced on January 9, 2003 for $660,000 by Community First Bank, at an interest rate of 7.16%. Monthly payments are $5,223 based upon a 20 year amortization with a balloon payment of the remaining balance due on January 9, 2013 (estimated amount of $441,325). The balance owing on this loan as of December 31, 2007 was $573,383. At the time of the refinancing, the building was appraised at $980,000.  The building is leased to a tenant occupying approximately 35% of the office space and generating monthly rentals of $3,452 at an average rate of $10.25 per square foot. The gross annual rental income from the building is $41,420. Kearns has no present plans to renovate or improve the building. The building competes for tenants with other office space in the Kearns area.  Management believes that this building is adequately insured. The Company has signed a real estate purchase contract to sell the building for $765,000. The purchase closing is subject to due diligence.

None of the financing for the above described properties provides for pre-payment penalties.

ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

General

Our business plan for the next twelve months involves the continued operation of our office buildings in Salt Lake City, Utah coupled with our ongoing attempts to locate and acquire additional commercial space in the greater Salt Lake area and elsewhere and to locate suitable buyers for the properties as the circumstances may permit. We have acquired 85% of Landis and have plans to open two more locations over the next 18 months. We also operate two Black Chandelier stores and have plans to open at least two more in the Western United States by December 31, 2008. We anticipate opening an additional four locations over the next 24 to 36 months, subsequent to raising $1 to $1.5 million funds through the S-1 filing or other sources.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Year ended December 31, 2007. Gross operating revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 were $1,834,245 and $3,232,488, respectively. This represents a $1,398,243 or 76% increase from 2006 to 2007.

Gross rental revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 were $184,230 and $245,128, respectively. This was a increase of $60,898 or 33% from 2006 to 2007. The increase in rental revenues for 2007 came from the collection of past due receivables, an additional tenant in the downtown building, and increased rents on new lease agreements with the current tenants. We do not expect rental revenues to substantially increase in the next few years until such time as Nexia is able to successfully raise a substantial amount of capital which will provide the means to purchase additional properties to replace those which have been sold over the last few years.
 
The revenues attributable to sales from Landis and Gold Fusion totaled $1,649,365 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $2,987,360 of sales generated by sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase of $1,337,995 or 81% from 2006 to 2007 is as a result of the increased number of retail outlets for Black Chandelier and the addition of the Bountiful Landis salon.

Expenses

Year ended December 31, 2007. Total operating expenses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 were $5,444,591 and $7,212,599, respectively. This is a $1,768,008 increase or a 32% increase from 2006 to 2007. The increase was attributable primarily to the amount of costs incurred by the increase in operating the additional retail locations acquired by the Company during 2007 that were not operating during 2006 and the increased administrative costs resulting from the expansion of operations by Landis and Black Chandelier.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006, were $166,874 compared to $222,059 for same period in 2007. The increase in expense of $55,185, or 33%, was primarily the result of the acquisition of additional depreciable assets by Landis and Black Chandelier over the course of the year 2007.


 
24

 

Nexia expects expenses as a percent of revenues to continue to increase through 2008 as Nexia steps up its effort to expand its retail operations as well as acquire additional properties.
 
The net increase in general and administrative expenses from 2006 to 2007 was $3,504,534 explained in detail in the table below:

   
Increase
 
Payroll Expenses
  $ 1,716,643  
Adjustment to stock subscriptions receivable
    773,870  
Increase in marketing Company stock expense
    643,241  
Directors fees in 2007, none were recorded in 2006
    304,000  
Other miscellaneous expense increases
    66,780  
Net increase from 2006 to 2007
  $ 3,504,534  
 
Operating Losses
 
Nexia recorded an operating loss of $4,447,454 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $5,732,773 for the comparable period in the year 2007. The increase in operating loss of $1,285,319 or a 29% increase was the result of the increased operating expenses related to the operation of the Landis Salon, Black Chandelier costs of expansion, adjustments to stock subscriptions receivable, increase in marketing expenses for the Company’s stock, and director’s fees paid out during 2007, when no fees were paid in 2006. No director’s fees were paid with cash during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Net Losses

Nexia recorded a net loss of $1,983,297 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to a net loss of $8,498,219 for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in the amount of net loss represents a change of $6,514,922, or 328%, compared to the same period in 2006, reported above. The largest contributing factors to the increase in net loss is the loss recognized from issuing preferred stock of $2,087,027, loss on termination of convertible debt of $807,182, adjustment to stock subscriptions receivable of $773,870, increased expense in marketing Company stock of $643,241, directors fees of $340,000, and increased payroll expenses of $1,716,643. Increased expenses mentioned above that are non cash items total $4,651,320.

Nexia does not expect to operate at a profit through fiscal 2008. Since Nexia's activities in the past were tied to its ability to operate its real estate properties at a profit, future profitability or its revenue growth tended to follow changes in the real estate market place. The recent diversification into retail operations represented by its investment in Landis Salons, Inc. and Gold Fusion Laboratories during 2007 will broaden Nexia’s operations and make it less dependent on the real estate market and its fluctuations. There can be no guarantee that profitability or revenue growth will be realized in the future.
 
Impact of Inflation

The Company believes that inflation may have a negligible effect on future operations. The Company believes that it may be able to offset inflationary increases in the cost of revenue by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 31, 2007, Nexia had current assets of $1,036,555 and $4,845,485 in total assets compared to current assets of $1,022,549 and total assets of $4,734,635 as of December 31, 2006. Nexia had net working capital deficit of $1,223,156 at December 31, 2006, as compared to a net working capital deficit of $1,694,448 at December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital deficit of $471,292 is due primarily to increased accrued liabilities and current maturities of long-term debt.

Cash used by operating activities was $956,880 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to cash used by operating activities of $855,448 for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in cash used of $101,432 or 11% was attributable to the preferred and common stock issued for services and loss on termination of convertible debenture generated by the expanded operations during 2007 over 2006.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $561,239 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net cash used by investing activities of $72,034 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cash used of $633,273 was attributable primarily to the purchase of property, plant, and equipment and marketable securities in 2007. In 2006, the Company received cash from the sale of marketable securities, commercial real estate, and an increased investment in Landis.

Cash provided by financing activities was $372,314 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to cash provided of $899,084 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase of $526,770 in cash provided by financing activities was due primarily to the increase of proceeds from stock subscriptions receivable, preferred stock issued to acquire Newby Salon, change in accounting for the convertible debenture, and proceeds from issuing notes payable to related parties.

We project that in 2008 and beyond, our salon and retail store businesses will be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet their internal financial needs. We project the cash burn rate for the next twelve months, for the Company’s general needs and rental operations, will be approximately $1,320,000. Funds to cover the burn rate will come from the ESOP plan to pay employee compensation expenses, $750,000; and sale of stocks from an investment portfolio of at least $200,000.  The total provided to cover the Company’s general needs and the rental operations will be approximately $950,000. Additional funds will be needed to cover the current operating expenses. These amounts do not include any funds that may be received from the Dutchess equity line of credit as described in the Company’s SB-2 Registration Statements and amendments thereto as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders
Nexia Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nexia Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nexia Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company suffered a loss from operations of $8,498,219 and used $855,448 of cash in operating activities. As of December 31, 2007, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $24,181,911, had a working capital deficit of $1,694,448 and a stockholders’ deficit of $6,870,114. The Company has defaulted on several of its liabilities. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, the Company has closed two clothing retail stores, and has entered into agreements to sell two of its commercial real estate properties. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NEXIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006


 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

a. Organization and Nature of Operations

Nexia Holdings, Inc. (“Nexia” or “The Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on April 20, 1987 as Metropolitan Acquisition Corporation.  On October 5, 2000, Nexia merged with a Nevada corporation with the same name, effectively changing its state of domicile from Colorado to Nevada. Nexia is solely a holding company of a number of subsidiary companies.

Nexia’s operating subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2007 were Diversified Holdings I, Inc., Downtown Development Corporation, Wasatch Capital Corporation, Landis, LLC, Newby Salon, LLC, Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. and Kearns Development Corporation, and Green Endeavors, LTD.
 
b. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nexia Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned.  In addition, Nexia consolidates variable interest entities for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Nexia’s share of earnings or losses of associates is included in the consolidated operating results using the equity method of accounting.

Diversified Holdings 1, Inc. (“DH1”), a Nevada corporation is a 100% owned subsidiary of Nexia. DH1 was formed on March 22, 1996, and is a holding company which has majority ownership of the following subsidiaries:

Wasatch Capital Corporation (“WCC”), a Utah corporation, was incorporated on June 10, 1991.  WCC owns and operates a commercially rented building in downtown Salt Lake City.  DH1 owned 100% of Wasatch common stock as of December 31, 2006. During 2005 DH1 purchased the remaining shares of Wasatch’s common stock, increasing their ownership from 98% to 100%.  On September 16, 2004 Wasatch issued one million shares of its common stock to DH1 in total satisfaction of its outstanding debt to DH1.

Kearns Development Corporation (“Kearns”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated February 16, 1996 as Cyber Studio, Inc. On April 4, 2001, its name was changed to Kearns Development Corporation. During 2000, Kearns purchased a commercial rental building in Kearns, Utah.  Kearns is owned 99% by DH1.

Downtown Development Corporation (“Downtown”) was incorporated by Nexia on November 30, 1999 in Utah as A-Z South State Corporation. On August 22, 2001, its name was changed to Downtown Development Corporation. Downtown owns a commercial rental building in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is 99.8% owned by DH1.
 
Landis Salons, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Landis”), was organized on May 4, 2005 for the purpose of operating an AvedaTM Lifestyle Salon.  DH1 acquired a 20% interest in exchange for a $100,000 cash investment.  An additional 65% interest was acquired by DH1 July 13, 2006, with 60% from Richard Surber and 5% from Seth Bullough, by issuing a $250,000 note payable, 80,000 Series A Preferred shares and 2,000,000 Series B Preferred shares.  Landis is 85% owned by DH1 and a minority interest of 15% is held by a former employee.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006


 

Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. (“GFL”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated July 19, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring certain assets and liabilities of the Black Chandelier, a fashion and lifestyle design, manufacture and retail sales operation from Diversified Holdings X, Inc. (“DHX”), a wholly owned corporation of Nexia’s CEO, Richard Surber, in exchange for issuing to DHX a $300,000 promissory note, 70,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,000,000 shares (post reverse split) of restricted common stock.  GFL is 100% owned by DH1. As of March 31, 2008 GFL voluntarily surrendered all its assets to Nexia for debts owed. GFL has currently ceased operations.

Newby Salon, L.L.C., a Utah limited liability company that owns and operates the Reflections Hair & Image Studio in Bountiful, Utah, is owned 100% by Nexia.  Nexia purchased Newby Salon in exchange for 60,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  The agreement provides the Company with a second operating salon using exclusively AvedaTM products. The Reflections salon was re-named as a Landis Concept Salon on November 9, 2007.

Green Endeavors LTD, (GRNE”) a Deleware corporation, is a 90% owned subsidiary of Nexia.  GRNE was acquired by Nexia in October 2007 in exchange for 150,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.  It is a publicly traded corporation.  Subsequent to December 31, 2007, GRNE acquired  Landis Salons, inc. and Newby Salon, LLC from Diversified Holdings 1, Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of Nexia, in exchange for a $3,000,000 convertible debenture.

c. Accounting Method

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

d. Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

e. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and amounts in-transit from banks for customer credit and debit cards.  The process of transferring these funds usually takes between one to two business days and is classified as cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

f. Merchandise Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Market is determined based on the estimated net realizable value, which generally is the merchandise selling price.  We review our inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and damaged items and use markdowns to clear merchandise.

g. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized.  Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized at that time.  All capital leases are added to the property and equipment and depreciated over the life of the assets.  Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Building and improvements
 
6-39 Years
Furniture, equipment and fixtures
 
3-10 Years
Vehicles
 
5 Years
Computer equipment and software
 
3 years

When commercial buildings are sold, the net depreciated basis is deducted from the net cash received and the difference is a net gain or loss.
 
h. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from its four main sources of revenue as follows:

Rental Revenue

Rental revenues are recorded in the period in which they are earned in accordance with rental agreements and lease contracts.  Rent payments are typically due by the 1st of each month.

Sales – Salon

Revenue from sales of services and products is recognized at the date of the services or the sale of products.

Sales – Retail Clothing

Revenue from clothing sales is recorded on the date of sale to the customer.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

i. Marketable Securities

Securities investments are classified as available-for-sale securities.  Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.  All marketable securities held by the Company have been classified as available-for-sale securities.

j. Stock-based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing models. That cost recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

Options granted by the Company are most often exercised immediately after the grant date.  Consequently, the Company has determined the fair value of the options based on the price market of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

k. Environmental Compliance and Remediation

The Company determines its potential liability for environmental compliance and remediation on a site by site basis and records a liability when its existence is probable and reasonably estimable.  Expenditures that do not have a future economic benefit are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the life of the related property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized.

l. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.” The Company recognizes impairment losses as the difference between historical cost and fair value of the asset, less costs to sell, when management determines that events and circumstances indicate a need to assess impairment, and when that assessment indicates that historical cost materially exceeds fair value, less costs to sell.  There was no impairment expense of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 except for goodwill which was impaired by $26,715 during the years ended December 31, 2007.

m. Advertising Expense

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Advertising expense was $162,958 and $118,377 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

n. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per share” (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98).  Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, options were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

o. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

p. Fair Value

The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill relating to the Newby Salon for impairment annually or other indications of impairment exist. No impairment was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2007 or 2006.

q. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
FASB Interpretation No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (FAS 159) - In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159. FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The provisions of FAS 159 become effective as of the beginning of our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will have on our future financial statements if we elect to adopt it.

FASB Statement No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, and requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries within equity in the consolidated financial statements, but separate from the parent shareholders’ equity. Statement No. 160 also requires any acquisitions or dispositions of noncontrolling interests that do not result in a change of control to be accounted for as equity transactions.  Further, the Statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  We are currently assessing the impact of adopting FAS 160 on our results of operations and financial condition.

FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures stating how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.  FAS 161 also encourages but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of FAS 161 will have an impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative operating losses through December 31, 2007 of $24,181,911, has a working capital deficit of $1,694,448 and a stockholders’deficit of $6,870,114 at December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company has defaulted on several of its liabilities, has closed two retail clothing stores, and has entered into agreements to sell two of its commercial real estate properties. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Primarily, revenues have not been sufficient to cover the Company’s operating costs. Management’s plans to enable the Company to continue as a going concern include the following:
Increase retail sales of Landis Salons, Inc. and Style Perfect
Closing underperforming retail locations
Using stock and option-based compensation to cover payroll and other permissible labor costs
Raise capital through the Company’s equity line of credit upon the effectiveness of a pending S-1 Registration Statement
Increasing revenues from rental properties by implementing new marketing programs
Making certain improvements to certain rental properties in order to make them more marketable
Reduce expenses through consolidating or disposing of certain subsidiary companies
Convert certain debt into shares of the Company’s common stock
Purchasing revenue producing real estate

There can be no assurance that the Company can or will be successful in implementing any of its plans or that it will be successful in enabling the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTIES

On March 30, 2006, Wasatch Capital Corporation and Diversified Holdings X, Inc, a related party doing business as Black Chandelier agreed to a joint venture operation in which 50% of the net profits from Black Chandelier’s internet sales will be paid to Wasatch as a result of allowing Black Chandelier the use of equipment and space located in the Wallace Bennett buildings owned by Wasatch, one of the Company’s subsidiaries.  The bulk of these assets were seized for failure to pay rent and were being used in furtherance of the joint venture operation.  Wasatch reported revenue of $2,561 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Joint venture agreement has been canceled effective January 1, 2007.

On July 13, 2006, Diversified Holdings 1, Inc.

Surber and 5,000 Series A Preferred shares to Seth Bullough.  The aggregate purchase price and the value of the note payable and preferred stock issued in consideration was determined to be $1,052,000 based on a written valuation of Landis, LLC.

On August 15, 2006, Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc., (“GFL”) a subsidiary of the Company signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Diversified Holdings X, Inc. (“DHX”) to acquire all of the assets, inventory and receivables held by DHX in the operation of Black Chandelier, a fashion and lifestyle design operation.  GFL was incorporated in Nevada on July 19, 2006.  The compensation promised for this acquisition consisted of a promissory note by GFL in the face amount of $300,000, bearing interest at the rate of 24% per annum, with a maturity of five years. The Company agreed to issue DHX 70,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  As Richard Surber is the president and sole shareholder of DHX, the transaction has been treated as a related party transaction.  On September 18, 2006, an addendum to the agreement was approved by the parties that provided for the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to DHX as compensation for transfers made to GFL.  The acquisition closed on September 18, 2006.  Black Chandelier operated four retail outlets in Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah and maintains a website for the online sale of its merchandise.

The convertible debenture was paid off by October 31, 2007 by a combination of conversions to common stock and the Company issuing Series C Preferred Stock to pay in full the remaining liability balance and accrued interest payable.

NOTE 23 – ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF SERIES A AND C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Each share of the Company’s Series A and C Preferred Stock is convertible into $10.00 and $5.00 worth of common stock, respectively.  The number of common shares received is based on the market value of the common stock on the date of conversion. The result is potentially an unlimited number of common shares received for a fixed amount of conversion value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006


 

Series A and C Preferred Stock shareholders have the option of receiving cash or Nexia common stock from the conversion.  Under FASB EITF 00-19, contracts requiring a cash settlement are considered to be derivatives and are classified as assets or liabilities.  If the contract provides a preferred stock shareholder a choice of receiving a conversion settlement in cash or Company common shares, the contract assumes a cash settlement and balance sheet classification of the affected preferred stock and related preferred paid-in capital as a liability.

Adjustments have been made as of December 31, 2007, to present the Series A and C Preferred Stock and related Preferred paid-in capital as long-term liabilities at the amount they would be cash settled in conversion.  The table below shows the calculation of the cash settlement liability and resulting derivative loss:

NOTE 24 – LOSS ON TERMINATION OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On October 1, 2007, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock valued at $1,000,000 in full payment of the convertible debenture remaining liability and accrued interest totaling $192,818.  The convertible debenture would have matured on October 31, 2007. The exchange resulted in a loss of $807,182.
 
NOTE 25 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 8, 2008, the Company amended its 2008 benefit plan by increasing the number of shares it is authorized to issue under the plan to 350,000,000. On March 10, 2008, the Company again amended its benefit plan to 1,350,000,000 shares authorized.

The Company had two lawsuits filed against it related to the closure of the two retail locations in Murray and Provo. The amounts are for past due rents and for breaking the lease contracts which each had additional years remaining.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

NONE

ITEM 8A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Nexia's president acts both as the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer ("Certifying Officer") and is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control, disclosure controls, and procedures for Nexia. The Certifying Officer has concluded (based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the design and operation of Nexia's internal control, disclosure controls, and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are not effective and adequate in areas disclosed below.

As of the end of the year covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company’s internal control, disclosure controls, and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there were a number of adjusting entries initiated by the Company after the auditors’ field work was completed.  This is evidence of material deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company also performed procedures in completing these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 to ensure that the amounts and disclosures included were fairly presented in all material respects in accordance with GAAP.

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

Nexia is currently designing procedures to test and validate the quality of our internal controls. Management will take measures at the end of each quarter in 2008 to review the numbers carefully for errors and adjustments, if needed. We perform inventory counts at each quarter and adjust inventory accordingly. Accounting personnel look for discrepancies from our pre-count inventory numbers and our post-count numbers and fix weaknesses in the control process. We balance our bank statements to our daily sales and deposits made to verify sales are being recorded correctly, and cash and inventory are secured from most kinds of fraud. All checks are signed and approved by Richard Surber, the President and CEO of the Company. He is the only signer on all bank accounts. All use of credit cards is approved by Richard Surber, and they are usually used for payment of bills.  Someone in accounting, other than those authorized to use the credit cards, reconciles the balances.

We review each account balance for all subsidiaries in the consolidation, after we have completed recording all transactions and adjusting balances. This is done to verify that the accounts reflect the correct balance and that required adjustments have been made. We are working to improve our procedures in this area.

We plan to hire another Sr. Accountant in 2008. This will give the controller the ability to spend significantly more time reviewing accounting records and financial statements before a quarterly review and year-end audit. This should enable us to reduce errors in accounting and, ultimately, it should eliminate material mistakes within our financial statements. It will also enable us to review more frequently accounting procedures and controls and make improvements. The additional Sr. Accountant should enable us to timely file our reports with the SEC.


 
27

 

In conclusion management has found a material weakness in its internal controls and procedures. Management’s goals are to make the changes stated above, along with others that management may find necessary, and to complete a written, comprehensive document on our internal control and management procedures.

ITEM 12.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into the following related party transactions:
 
Mr. Surber is licensed to practice law in the State of California and occasionally represents corporate clients on various corporate matters. Mr. Surber has disclosed the fact that he, on occasion, does act as counsel to several companies for which he receives fees for the legal services provided.

On November 2, 2005, the Company’s subsidiary, Diversified Holdings I, Inc. invested $100,000 in Landis, LLC in exchange for a 20% interest in the LLC. Landis has opened an upscale hair salon located at the corner of 900 East and 1300 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. Richard Surber, president and director of the company held a 60% ownership interest in Landis, LLC at that time.

On July 13, 2006, the Company approved, and its subsidiary Diversified Holdings I, Inc. (“DHI”) executed an agreement with Richard Surber to acquire Mr. Surber’s 60% ownership interest in Landis, LLC, a Utah limited liability company. Richard Surber is the president of the Company and was the proposing party for the transaction. The independent directors of the Company both approved of the deal and an independent valuation of Landis, LLC has been received by the Company that supports the value paid to Mr. Surber for his interest. In exchange for his 60% ownership interest in Landis, LLC Mr. Surber received the following compensation, (1) a promissory note in the amount of $250,000, bearing interest at the rate of 24% per annum, payments are due in five annual payments of principal and interest, (2) 75,000 shares of Nexia’s Class A Preferred stock and (3) 2,000,000 shares of Nexia’s Class B Preferred stock.

Landis, LLC became Landis Salons, Inc. and is the operator of the Landis Lifestyle Salon located at the corner of 900 East and 1300 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. This salon features the Aveda™ line of products. Due to the Company’s prior existing ownership interest in Landis, LLC and Mr. Surber’s position as the managing member of the LLC, the Company had included Landis in the consolidated financial statements for 2005. The Company continued to report Landis in the consolidated financial statements for 2006. There was no change created from the purchase of 65% of Landis’s common stock, since the Company had already been consolidating Landis in the financial statements.  The assets and inventory interests acquired by DHI have been consolidated into Nexia’s balance sheet as of the date of closing and valued in accordance with the independent valuation that was performed.

On August 15, 2006, Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Richard Surber to acquire ownership of the assets, inventory and receivables of the fashion operations of Diversified Holdings X, Inc., a corporation owned by Mr. Surber that owned and operated the Black Chandelier and related clothing operations. The consideration for this transaction was a promissory note in the amount of $300,000, bearing interest at the rate of 24% per annum, payments are due in five annual installment and 70,000 shares of Nexia’s Class A Preferred stock. On September 18, 2006 an addendum to this agreement was approved by the parties that provided for the issuance of 2,000,000 (post reverse splits 2-20-2007 and 12-14-2007) shares of the Company’s restricted common stock be issued to Diversified Holdings X, Inc. as compensation for the transfers made to Gold Fusion Laboratories.

Between the dates of October 5, 2006 and November 22, 2006, the Company entered into three promissory notes with its president Richard Surber with the following terms:  October 5, 2006, $20,000, due on January 5, 2007, interest rate of 20% per annum;  November 7, 2006, $31,025, due on January 25, 2007, interest rate of 20% per annum; and November 22, 2006, $20,000, due on March 22, 2007, interest rate of 20% per annum.  Each of the notes was given in exchange for a loan to the Company in the amount of the stated principal.  Each of the notes was approved by the full board of directors.  The due dates of each of the notes were extended to September 30, 2007 in an extension agreement executed February 23, 2007.

During 2007, three additional notes were given to Mr. Surber, January 17, 2007 in the amount of $20,500, due on May 22, 2007, interest rate of 20% per annum, another on January 17, 2007 in the amount of $15,000, due on March 31, 2007, interest rate of 20% per annum and January 25, 2007, $20,000, and due on January 28, 2008, interest rate of 20% per annum.  Each of the notes was approved by the full board of directors.  As of December 31, 2007, the $15,000, $20,500, and $20,000 notes to Mr. Surber have been repaid in full.

On February 23, 2007, an agreement was signed to extend the due dates of four notes held by Mr. Surber, the October 5, November 7, and November 22 of 2006 and the January 17, 2007 note.  Each of the four notes had its due date extended to September 30, 2007 by mutual agreement of the Company and Mr. Surber.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, Mr. Surber advanced the Company funds to cover operating expenses.  This was carried as a payable to Mr. Surber. As of December 31, 2007, the Company owed Mr. Surber $127,512, noted on the financial statements as accounts payable – related parties.
