B. Business of Issuer
LSGH owns the mineral rights to 9,500 acres in Crockett County, Texas. The property is located approximately 25 miles south of Ozona and 75 miles north of Del Rio, Texas. The "Canyon Sandstone" gas wells located on this ranch are part of the large prolific Adams-Baggett Canyon Sandstone Field.
We are in the resource business. To date, we have not derived any income from any of the resource properties in which we have and are acquiring interests. We are currently in the process of our phase 1 program on our Crocket Project.
We are in the business of the acquisition, and exploration of properties with a view to exploiting any resource deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on our properties in order to ascertain whether they possess economic quantities of oil and gas. There can be no assurance that economic deposits or reserves, exist on our properties until appropriate exploration work is done and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes that production of resources from the properties is economically feasible.
Resource property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make this decision based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist and the oil and gas property operators who oversees the program and record the results.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable resource exists on any of our properties; further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete an exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral or oil and gas deposits would constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit).
(1) Principal Products and Services and Principal Markets
Of the 200 potential drilling sites on our location, this property contains 15 proven and producing gas wells with a history of production since 1973. The bankable reserves on the property include USD $100 MM in reserves for 30 Canyon Wells locations and USD $39MM for 20 possible Strawn-Ellenburger locations. There could be as many as 30 Strawn-Ellenburger locations available on these leased properties.
(2) Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
None at this time
7
(3) Status of any announced new product or service
All products still in development stage
(4) Industry background and competition
There is aggressive competition within the mineral and oil and gas industry to discover and acquire properties considered to have commercial potential. We compete for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have greater resources than us. In addition, we compete with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop mineral and oil and gas properties.
(5) Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers – none at this time
(6) Customers – none at this time
(7) Intellectual Property
Lonestar Group Holdings Co. does not have any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.
(8) Need for Government Approval
We are committed to complying and, to our knowledge, are in compliance with all governmental and environmental regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of resource related operations and reclamation.
We do not currently own or operate any resource properties, and are not required to comply with the requirements of these regulatory authorities. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our properties if we identify the existence of natural resources in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the exploration of our property.
We are prepared to engage professionals, if necessary, to ensure regulatory compliance but in the near term expect our activities to require minimal regulatory oversight. If we expand the scope of our activities in the future it is reasonable to expect expenditures on compliance to rise.
(9) Effect of existing or probable government regulations
Same as number (8)
(10) Cost of Research and Development
Most of Lonestar Group Holdings Co. general and administrative expenses consist of the costs of management and development of new Internet/website applications for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The following information covers all securities that LSGH sold within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act:
In April 2004, Karma Media executed a consulting agreement with Dartmouth Capital, Inc., for strategic planning, general corporate, and management advisory services in exchange for 900,000 shares of the Karma Media's common stock. Consultant will, upon request, provide to Karma corporate services on an "as needed" basis, including, but not limited to, (a) assisting Karma Media’s management in executing its business plan; (b) assisting management in identifying and negotiating with firms to provide the appropriate financial services to expedite the Company's ability to achieve its goals and objectives; (c) integrating and coordinating Karma Media’s relationship with its outside professionals (i.e.; legal, accounting, investor relations, etc.) and recommending, when necessary, appropriate new professionals; (d) assisting Karma in building its management team, Advisory Committee and Board of Directors; (e) assisting management in evaluating and negotiating potential investments, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic partnerships; (f) provide licensing opportunities for Karma Media and its products and services; and (g) assisting management in developing a recapitalization plan, if the need arises. The term of this Agreement is for thirty-six (36) months, having commenced April 5, 2004. At the time of the issuance, Dartmouth Capital, Inc., was in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of the shares to Dartmouth Capital, Inc. in April 2004 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In September 2004, Karma Media hired US EURO Consulting to serve as its non-exclusive corporate finance consultant. In connection with such engagement, US EURO was issued 900,000 shares of Karma's common stock. The term of this engagement is for thirty-six (36) months, having commenced September 8, 2004. At the time of the issuance, US EURO Consulting was in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma claims that the issuance of the shares to US EURO Consulting in September 2004 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Also in September 2004, Karma signed an agreement with US EURO Securities, Inc., regarding a proposed "best efforts" equity offering of a certain number of shares of common stock to be issued by the Karma. In exchange, US EURO Securities, Inc., received warrants to purchase a total of 10% of the total number of shares purchased by the investor. US EURO Securities, Inc., may exercise these warrants at a price equal to 100% of the price paid by the investor or the day's closing price if at a discount to the market. These warrants are to be delivered in fully accountable and non-assessable form and will contain standard anti-dilution provisions. The warrants carry unlimited "piggyback" registration rights to any subsequent registration by Karma.
In July of 2005, Pitboss Entertainment initiated a 10 for one stock split bringing the issued and outstanding of the company to 1.6 million shares issued and outstanding.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements about Lonestar Group Holdings Company business, financial condition and prospects that reflect management’s assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of our management’s assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, Lonestar Group Holdings Company actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our services, our ability to expand our customer base, managements’ ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as, ”believes,” ”expects,” “intends,” ”plans,” ”anticipates,” ”estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
Management’s Discussion and Plan of Operation
We were incorporated on January 01, 2006, and have begun our planned principal operations. Our efforts to date have focused primarily on formation and organization of our company and the development and implementation of our business Natural Gas plan. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we did not generate any revenues. We have generated a total of $0 in revenues from our Natural Gas services. We do not have any long-term agreements to provide our services to any customer. As a result, we are unable to predict the stability of, and ability to continue to generate, ongoing revenues.
Lonestar Group Holdings has spent the past two and a half months or so restructuring its business model and the company as well as planning its spin off subsidiary strategy for its acquired companies.
At the end of December, Lonestar Group Holdings (LSGH.OB) announced a restructuring of its business model “to focus on shareholder appreciation and value,” a statement by the company said. Lonestar currently has business interests in insurance, natural gas, real estate, business development and financial services.
“Our business' gross profitability is expected to grow over the coming quarters due to the fact that we have our core businesses in position to profit in both sales and development.”
The company said that it planned to spin off its future subsidiaries. Shareholders are to receive a pro-rata percentage of registered shares in every sector that is spun off from Lonestar Holdings.
“Lonestar Holdings will operate as a business development company that incubates, develops, and acquires portfolio companies in various industries to maximize shareholder value through eventual public offering, sale, or merger, acquisition or similar business combination,” So, for all practical purposes, ownership of Lonestar Holdings will lead to ownership in future spin-offs and shareholder dividends from both companies.”
We do not believe that our business is subject to seasonal factors. Our management does not expect to incur costs related to research and development. We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
12
The company has not yet drilled the well sites described in Ozona Texas and that factor has limited our ability to maintain our operating objectives. Our management believes it is imperative to hire additional employees and/or officers and directors within the next three to six months. If we are unable to hire additional personnel, either as employees, directors, officers or outside consultants, we may be unable to continue operating as a going concern.
On January 29, 2007 - Lonestar Group Holdings (OTCBB: LSGH), announce that a meeting of the LONESTAR GROUP HOLDINGS INC. Board of Directors was called to order at approximately 10:00 AM on January 22nd, 2007 at the Offices of LONESTAR GROUP HOLDINGS Inc. Located at 4606 1960 W Houston Texas, 77069, it was unanimously approved that a special dividend to the current shareholders of Lonestar Group Holdings would be issued on a 1 for 1 “LIKE KIND” basis, the stock dividend would be issued by the company’s transfer agent of record and the stock described would be “LIKE KIND”. The stock would be issued to all shareholders of record as of 02-07-07 with a Pay Date of 2-14-07.
On December 20, 2006 – US Energy Holdings (OTCBB: USEH) announced that the board of directors agreed on the name (LoneStar Group Holdings Company) for the parent company.
The company reported on December 10, 2006 – The Company management commented: “The company now has the ability to leverage the bankable gas reserves of its properties in Ozona Texas and thus will allow the company to acquire and expand it’s asset portfolio”. The company concluded: “We will release expanded information on this and the other significant matters that have taken place over the last few weeks in our 8k sometime this week”.
The company has several acquisition candidates that it is interviewing at this time and plans to release information to the public as it becomes available.
Our goal is to position the company for exponential growth while building a strong base of residual income. We have tried and proven methods for achieving growth that will put the company on the leading edge, and most importantly, add profits to the bottom line.
Through our diverse professional skills and clarity of purpose and values, we plan to grow a highly successful company.
Lonestar Group Holdings Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.
Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Our board of directors was advised by Bagell, Josephs & Company, L.L.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2005 & 2006 Bagell, Josephs & Company, L.L.C. identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in our internal control over financial reporting.
This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, our size prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lonestar Group Holdings Company
4606 FM 1960W Suite 443
Houston, Texas, 77069
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lonestar Group Holdings Company., (Formerly US Energy Holdings Company, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lonestar Group Holdings Company., (Formerly US Energy Holdings Company, Inc.) as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained net operating losses for 2006 and 2005 and has sustained large accumulated deficits. Unless the Company is successful in generating cash from operating activities there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in the management’s discussion and plan of operation section of the annual report. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial statements have been restated as of December 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include funds held in a Paypal account. There were no such cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2006.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Management has impaired certain software acquired as of December 31, 2005 as it is determined the carrying value was not recoverable.
Revenue recognition
The Company as of October 2005 and January 2006 ceased its former business plans. The Company formerly recognized revenue when earned through affiliate programs. The affiliate programs are with various companies whereby they will pay a referral or commission for sales generated through a link on the Company’s website. The affiliates generally took 30 days to process the commission once the sale occurs. The Company recognized the commission once it was notified of the amount. For consulting, on-line marketing and sponsorship and appearance income the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed.
27
NOTE 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
Employee stock awards under the Company's compensation plans are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. The Company provides the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), and related interpretations. Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for under the provisions of FAS 123 and has adopted the enhanced disclosure provisions of FAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FAS No. 123”.
The Company measures compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Under the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, when the exercise price of options granted to employees is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, deferred compensation is recognized and is amortized to compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. In each of the periods presented, the vesting period was the period in which the options were granted.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. The fair value of the option issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
Oil and Gas Exploration and Development
Property Acquisition Costs - Oil and gas leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized and included in the balance sheet caption properties, plants and equipment. Leasehold impairment is recognized based on exploratory experience and management’s judgment. Upon discovery of commercial reserves, leasehold costs are transferred to proved properties.
Exploratory Costs -Geological and geophysical costs and the costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are expensed as incurred. Exploratory well costs are capitalized, or “suspended,” on the balance sheet pending further evaluation of whether economically recoverable reserves have been found. If economically recoverable reserves are not found, exploratory well costs are expensed as dry holes. If exploratory wells encounter potentially economic quantities of oil and gas, the well costs remain capitalized on the balance sheet as long as sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project is being made. For complex exploratory discoveries, it is not unusual to have exploratory wells remain suspended on the balance sheet for several years while we perform additional appraisal drilling and seismic work on the potential oil and gas field, or we seek government or co-venturer approval of development plans or seek environmental permitting. Once all required approvals and permits have been obtained, the projects are moved into the development phase and the oil and gas reserves are designated as proved reserves.
Unlike leasehold acquisition costs, there is no periodic impairment assessment of suspended exploratory well costs. In addition to reviewing suspended well balances quarterly, management continuously monitors the results of the additional appraisal drilling and seismic work and expenses the suspended well costs as a dry hole when it judges that the potential field does not warrant further investment in the near term.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had 3,000,000 warrants available.

Start-up costs
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start- up costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Reclassification
Certain amounts for the period ended December 31, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the December 31, 2006 amounts. The reclassifications have no effect on the net loss for the period ended December 31, 2006.
Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable on the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
29
NOTE 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” discontinued operations include components of entities or entire entities that, through disposal transactions, will be eliminated from the on-going operations of the Company.
Recent pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs.” SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of inventory costs related to idle facility, freight handling and wasted material expenses to be recognized as current period charges. Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of FAS 123R, as amended, are effective for small business issuers beginning as of the next fiscal year after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Previously, the Company accounted for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements (note 3(e)). The adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle in net income in the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of FAS 155 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)
Recent pronouncements (continued)
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of FAS 156 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,(“FAS 157”). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The FASB also issued in September 2006 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), (“FAS 158”) . This Standard requires recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the statement of financial position. The Standard also requires recognition in other comprehensive income certain gains and losses that arise during the period but are deferred under pension accounting rules, as well as modifies the timing of reporting and adds certain disclosures. FAS 158 provides recognition and disclosure elements to be effective as of the end of the fiscal year after December 15, 2006 and measurement elements to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet analyzed the impact FAS 158 will have on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE 3- INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109), which requires use of the liability method. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
