PART I

ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Rhode Island in May 1991 under the name Jaque Dubois, Inc. and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, the Company’s name was changed to JD American Workwear, Inc. In December 2000 the shareholders voted to change the name of the company to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. to more accurately portray the activities of the company.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “American Commerce”) is a multi-industry holding company for its operating subsidiaries. As of the close of its most recently completed fiscal year end, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries operating in the manufacturing segment and the fiberglass segment. The operating subsidiaries are International Machine and Welding, Inc. located in Bartow, Florida and Chariot Manufacturing Company located in Tampa, Florida.

The Company intends to expand its holdings by acquiring additional subsidiaries to facilitate its business plan. The current business plan has been in development since June 2000.

International Machine and Welding, Inc. provides specialized machining services for heavy industry. Target customers in the region include mining, agriculture processing, maritime, power generation and industrial machinery companies. Additional operations include heavy equipment service to the construction, forestry, waste and scrap industries. The operation provides complete service of the equipment, which includes rebuilding undercarriages, engines, transmissions, final drives and hydraulics. The effective service area for the operation located in the Southeastern region of the United States is a prime and lucrative market for such services. Growth in this region of the United States (population, infrastructure, and building) has created long term needs for construction equipment. All of these machines require periodic maintenance, and at certain points major overhauls. In addition to its 38,000 square foot facility, the operation also provides fully equipped field service vehicles so machines do not have to be removed from the work site.

International Machine and Welding, Inc. also sells OEM and after-market repair parts for heavy equipment. The operation has an extensive cross-reference listing and network of sources. One of the major competitive advantages of the operation is its ability to determine exactly what the customer needs and fulfill the requirement. In many cases, the customer may not have service manuals or to be able to identify part numbers. If a customer has more than one type of machine, which is quite common, they may have to contact a number of different suppliers to get parts for multiple machines. Our operation identifies the required parts and arranges the necessary repairs. As a result, the customer only has to make one phone call for all of their needs. This also makes International Machine and Welding, Inc. an attractive alternative for sales to customers outside the United States. Orders can be accumulated throughout the month and be sent on consolidated shipments. This has created a niche market for the direct parts sales division. The operation currently has two customer relationships in the Caribbean. Management believes that this market has not been fully targeted by its competitors and offers potential as a source of increased business.

Chariot Manufacturing Company, which was acquired on October 11, 2003 from a related party, manufactures motorcycle trailers with fiberglass bodies. These trailers are sold on the retail level. The company also provides non-warranty repairs, modification of existing Chariot Trailers.

The Board of Directors of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. has determined that it will seek to acquire additional fiberglass manufacturing operations, machining, fabricating, erecting and construction operations that utilize heavy equipment. Additional segments being considered are manufacturing supply operations, consumer products and commercial construction support services.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

The Company sold back to its original founder, the assets and certain liabilities of its JD American Workwear, Inc. operation and all of the Rhode Island Truck and Equipment, Inc. operations on May 31, 2001 and October 31, 2001, respectively. The terms and conditions of these transactions have been reported in their respective Form 10-QSB for the period ended May 31, 2001 and November 30, 2001 and are incorporated by reference herein.

On June 1, 2000, the Company completed the purchase of International Machine and Welding, Inc. by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of its holding company, Patina Corporation for a total purchase price of $4,446,159. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, International Machine and Welding, Inc.’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The acquisition was funded by the issuance of 9,800 shares of Series C 6% Preferred Stock.

On June 1, 2000, the Company completed the purchase of Rhode Island Truck and Equipment Corp. d/b/a International Paving, Inc. by acquiring all its outstanding capital stock for a total purchase price of $238,000. The acquisition was funded by the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock.

On June 1, 2001, the Company discontinued the operations of its JD American Workwear, Inc. subsidiary and exchanged certain assets and liabilities with the President of the subsidiary for 725,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and notes payable of $43,115. On October 31, 2001, the Company returned all of the stock of Rhode Island Truck and Equipment Corp. to its original owners in exchange for 155,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On October 11, 2003, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Chariot Manufacturing Company, from a related party for $360,000. The acquisition was financed through the assignment of a note receivable valued at $150,000, $30,000 worth of common stock and a note payable for $180,000.

During the year ended February 28, 2005, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire certain assets, including equipment and inventory from a supplier for $848,650. The Company acquired equipment and inventory valued at $768,826 and $6,208, respectively, and forgiveness of payables of $73,616 by the supplier. In exchange for the assets and forgiveness of payables, the Company assigned receivables $131,658, forgave debt of $273,376 and issued notes payable of $443,616.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Company has adopted a business strategy that focuses on expansion through acquisition. The key elements of acquisition targets must include solid management, profitability, geographical locations compatibility and/or undervalued companies that can be enhanced by shared services and opportunities.

Under the current strategy, the Company is developing three divisions of its chosen segment: Manufacturing and Fiberglass.

MANUFACTURING SEGMENT

The Manufacturing Segment through International Machine and Welding, Inc. offers a broad range of products and services to heavy industry through its three divisions. The operations of Division 1 provide specialized machining of very large components and machinery repair to industries such as aerospace, agricultural processing, chemical, defense, mining, maritime and power generation. Our 38,000 square foot facility located in Bartow, Florida is one of the only operations in the Southeast capable of machining components up to 55 feet in length and/or 20 feet in diameter. Division 2 provides heavy equipment service (parts and labor), which includes repair and bonded rebuilds of engines, tracks, undercarriages, transmissions, final drives and hydraulic systems on heavy equipment. The equipment we repair is from the heavy construction industry including bulldozers, scrapers, loaders, excavators, large tractors, rollers, etc. The division provides field service via equipped service trucks to provide repairs at the customer’s site. Division 3 sells replacement parts to the heavy equipment market, directly to the end user with most of the parts exported outside the United States.

FIBERGLASS SEGMENT

The Fiberglass Segment through Chariot Manufacturing Company produces a line of fiberglass trailers suitable for a wide range of uses. Some of the uses include the transportation of motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, small vehicles, vending, mobile fiber optic workstations, utility and other specialized applications. The trailers are available in both open and enclosed configurations. The fiberglass unibody construction of the product is stronger, yet lighter than conventional aluminum and steel trailers. The Chariot trailer has a steel tube sub frame, which is tucked up inside the fiberglass body reducing drag. Since the body

is molded in fiberglass, the shape can be optimized to reduce drag. The overall shape, coupled with the light weight of the trailer also improves gas mileage while towing. The trailers can be fitted with optional features such as custom interiors and sleeper options.

MANUFACTURING AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY

Manufacturing Segment

Supplies and parts used by International Machine and Welding, Inc. are purchased from several major suppliers including Caterpillar, John Deere, Case and other major manufacturers and after market parts suppliers. The machining operations purchase from many suppliers based on the need of specific jobs. Although the operations do not have any long-term contracts with any of its suppliers, management believes that it has excellent business relationships with its current suppliers and it is not exposed to any significant risk in the event any one source of supply is discontinued, because there are many suppliers.

Fiberglass Segment

Likewise, Chariot Manufacturing Company has a ready supply of material available through both seasoned and new suppliers and vendors.

MARKETING AND SALES

Manufacturing Segment

International Machine and Welding, Inc. operates three divisions at one location. Division 1 sales have traditionally come from industries within a 100-mile radius of its facilities requiring specialized machining applications. Direct salesmen have established relationships with specific customers and the Company has expanded the business relationship through quality, rapid turn and value. While this business is quite lucrative, visibility is limited. The operation intends to expand its operations in the OEM market, where the subsidiary provides components to manufacturers of large machines. These types of accounts generally involve annual contracts with three-month rolling schedules. The expansion of the market also is expected to increase the serviceable territory from the Southeast to include the entire United States.

Direct sales personnel who primarily target mid-tier accounts handle sales for Division 2 and 3. We believe that this broad niche market is largely untapped by the larger factory-sponsored operations which cater specifically to very large accounts. Margins are typically very slim in these accounts and a large percentage of the customer base is represented by very few accounts. Because we are an independent repair facility, we can provide service to a much broader base of customers with greater margins than the large factory-sponsored competitors.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing Company sells directly to individuals. Inquiries from individuals come from a number of sources including the Company’s participation in industry events, the Company’s web site and from people who have seen the product on the road and called the Company’s phone number, (which is on every trailer produced either in graphic form or molded into the fiberglass body). Many inquiries result from referrals from existing customers. The Company has a 30-year history and is well known in the industry.

COMPETITION

Manufacturing Segment

The principal competitors of the Manufacturing Division consists of regional companies such as Southern Machinery, Florida Plating and Machine, Arroyo and Florida Metalizing in the machining operations and national corporations such as Ringhaver Equipment, Caterpillar, and Case repair facilities in the heavy equipment parts and service category. Management believes that the ability to rapidly turn goods or to provide parts on a timely basis gives it a competitive advantage. We are able to ship parts directly to the consumer, usually on the same day as the order or to return all service work within the time specified either by completing the work at the customers site or because of immediate turnaround capabilities.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing’s principal competitors include companies such as Pace American, Hallmark, Feather Light and Wells Cargo. Chariot is competitively priced when compared to comparably equipped trailers. Chariot is positioned in the market as a premium product. Many features are standard equipment on the Chariot, while they are options on competitive products. Chariot’s aerodynamic styling, lightweight, unibody construction, balance, resale value and standard features differentiate it from the competition.

CUSTOMER DEPENDENCE

Manufacturing Segment

International Machine and Welding, Inc. has a broad and diverse base of customers. The division does not rely on any single customer, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the segment. This division does generate a significant amount of revenues from sales and services provided to three different industries. The construction industry accounted for approximately -32% of the division’s revenues in fiscal 2008 compared to 38% in fiscal 2007, while the industrial and mining industries accounted for approximately 20% and 47% in fiscal 2008 compared to 31% and 28% in fiscal 2007, respectively, of the division’s total revenues. Due to these concentrations, the results of operations of the division could be affected by changes in the economic, regulatory, or other related conditions impacting on these industries.

Although the division does not rely on a single customer, three of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 48% of total revenues for the year ended February 29, 2008. These customers were the Mosaic Company 36%, Marden Industries Inc. 6% and Bul-Head Corp 6%.

Fiberglass Segment

Chariot Manufacturing Company has a wide base of customers. The loss of a single customer or dealer would not have a material adverse effect on the business. The primary use of the product is to transport motorcycles. The motorcycle industry growth has been strong in recent years. Sales for the Company’s products, however, are not tied to sales of new motorcycles.

EMPLOYEES

At February 29, 2008, the Company and its subsidiaries had 31 full-time employees and the parent operation has two full time executives. The Manufacturing segment employs 21 full time employees. Chariot Manufacturing Company employs 8 full time workers.

FUTURE ACQUISITIONS

The Company remains dedicated to its basic business plan, which calls for growth through acquisition of strategic business opportunities. Although discussions and negotiations continue with multiple companies, the most anticipated opportunities remain to be within the fiberglass industry. As of the filing of this document, we have not completed the close of a fiberglass recycling company, however progress is being made daily with all requisite functions, i.e., accounting, legal and structural.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-KSB (including the Exhibits hereto) may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, statements regarding, among other things, the financial condition and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, results of operations, projections, plans for future business development activities and the opportunities available within its market areas, capital spending plans, financing sources, projections of financial results or economic performance, capital structure, the effects of competition, statements of plans, expectations, or objectives of the Company, and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” and other similar words and expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “should,” “would,” and “could” and other characterizations of future events or circumstances. In addition, the Company may from time to time make such written or oral “forward-looking statements” in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including exhibits thereto), in its reports to stockholders, and in other communications made by or with the approval of the Company.

These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of the Company at the time they are made and are based on information currently available to the management of the Company and upon current expectations, estimates, and projections regarding the Company and its industry, management’s beliefs with respect thereto, and certain assumptions made by

management. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors (many of which are outside the control of the Company), which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only to the date that such statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. The following sets forth some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those which are the subject of any forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

Accumulated Deficit and Operating Losses and Anticipated Earnings; Explanatory Language in Auditor’s Report. The Company had an accumulated deficit at February 29, 2008 of $18,250,936 and net loss to common shareholders of $1,036,246 for the year ended February 29, 2008. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,214,690, and net loss to common shareholders of $1,450,388 for the year ended February 28, 2007. Additionally, the Company is in default on several notes payable. The auditor’s opinion on the financial statements expresses substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. While there can be no assurance of this outcome, management believes its plan of operation will allow the Company to achieve this goal.

Growth Plans and Risk of Expansion. The Company adopted and implemented a business strategy, which seeks growth and expansion through the acquisition of synergistic companies. Accordingly, the growth and financial performance of the Company will depend, in large part, upon the Company’s ability to identify and locate suitable acquisitions, to manage such growth and the resultant diverse operations, to manage the margins of the acquired operations, and to attract, hire, train, and retain qualified supervisory personnel and other operational employees to meet the Company’s needs as it expands, as well as the availability of sufficient working capital. Difficulties resulting from the failure of the Company to manage and control its growth could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition.

No Assurance of Acquisitions. Although the Company has had preliminary discussions with potential acquisition candidates, the Company has not completed any acquisitions in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008. The Company does have current understandings or arrangements (oral or written) relating to specific acquisitions, but cannot give specific timing to close the potential acquisitions. Until binding agreements are in place there can be no assurance that any proposed acquisition will be consummated or that adequate, acceptable and affordable financing will be available.

Furthermore, to the extent that acquisitions are consummated, the Company’s success or failure will depend upon management’s ability to integrate the acquired business into the company and implementation of adequate management skills and systems necessary to accomplish the Company’s strategy. Additionally, the Company is unable to predict whether or when, once integrated, any acquisition may achieve comparable levels of revenues, profitability, or productivity as existing Company operations, or otherwise perform as expected (including achievement of expected synergies or financial benefits). The Company may face competition for desirable acquisitions from entities that may possess greater resources than the Company.

Acquisition Risks. Acquisitions involve a number of special risks, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the diversion of management’s attention from core operations, difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and retention of personnel, customers, and suppliers, unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, tax and accounting issues, and the inability to obtain all necessary governmental and other approvals and consents.

Need for Additional Financing. Proceeds from notes payable and long-term debt provided the working capital needs and principal payments on long-term debt through most of fiscal 2008. However, the Company will need to obtain additional financing in order to finance its acquisition and growth strategy. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company does require additional financing and it cannot be obtained or the terms of such financings are unfavorable, it may have a material adverse impact on our operations and profitability, and the Company may need to curtail its business plan and strategy.

Loss of Certain Members of Our Management Team Could Adversely Affect the Company. The Company is dependent to a significant extent on the continued efforts, abilities and funding of our Chairman, Robert E. Maxwell and President and Chief Executive Officer, Daniel L. Hefner. If the company was to lose the services of either of these individuals or other key employees or consultants before a qualified replacement could be obtained, the business could be materially affected.

Expected Volatility in Share Price. The market price of our stock has traded in a wide range. From March 1, 2001 through February 29, 2008 the price of our common shares has ranged from $0.005 to $0.78 per share. The price of our common stock may be subject to fluctuations in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, creation or elimination of funding opportunities, restriction of the acquisition plans, and favorable or unfavorable coverage of our officers and Company by the press.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

International Machine and Welding, Inc. owns in fee simple title a 38,000 square foot facility in Bartow, Florida, which currently serves as the principal executive offices of American Commerce Solutions. A note payable to Valrico State Bank, originally at $875,000 encumbers this building. As of February 29, 2008, the balance on this note is $721,926. This note was refinanced in December 2005 for three years. The original note and mortgage in favor of Valrico State Bank allowed the Company to negotiate a settlement with GE Capital Small Business and other creditors, substantially reducing debt service and generating a one time gain of $812,014, which was recognized during fiscal year ended February 28, 2003.

Chariot Manufacturing Co. has its corporate offices at the International Machine and Welding facilities in Bartow, Florida. Its manufacturing operations are housed in an approximately 12,500 square foot moveable facility located in Tampa, Florida. The land that the facility is housed on, approximately 1.5 acres, is under a lease /option by AFG assigned to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. as part of the July 2004 asset purchase of AFG assets. AFG is one of Chariot’s key fiberglass suppliers. It is anticipated that the facilities will be adequate to meet the company’s sales projections until a more permanent facility can be secured or the land is purchased to create a more permanent operation. The adjacent, slightly larger parcel is available. ACS has a ‘right of first refusal’ on this parcel.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein. This discussion also contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risks and uncertainties set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report and in the Company’s other SEC filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company is not party to any transactions that would be considered “off balance sheet” pursuant to disclosure requirements under ITEM 303(c).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company owns two subsidiaries that operated in the manufacturing segment and the fiberglass segment during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 and 2007. To facilitate the readers understanding of the Company’s financial performance, this discussion and analysis is presented on a segment basis.

MANUFACTURING SEGMENT

The manufacturing subsidiary, International Machine and Welding, Inc., generates its revenues from three divisions. Division 1 provides specialized machining and repair services to heavy industry and original equipment manufacturers. Division 2 provides repair and rebuild services on heavy equipment used in construction and mining as well as sales of used equipment. Division 3 provides parts sales for heavy equipment directly to the customer. The primary market of this segment is the majority of central and south Florida with parts sales expanding its market internationally. The current operations can be significantly expanded using the 38,000 square foot structure owned by International Machine and Welding, Inc.

FIBERGLASS SEGMENT

Chariot Manufacturing Company, which was acquired on October 11, 2003 from a related party, manufactures motorcycle trailers with fiberglass bodies. These trailers are sold on the retail level. The company also provides non warranty repairs, modification of existing Chariot Trailers.

FISCAL YEAR 2008 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2007

General

The Company’s consolidated net sales increased to $2,850,768 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, an increase of $499,480 or 21%, from $2,351,288 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. The increase in net sales was due to a normal fluctuation in our customer’s requirements.

Gross profit for the consolidated operations increased to $1,213,454 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 from $839,293 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased in fiscal year 2008 to 43% from 36% in fiscal year ended 2007. The increase in gross profit margin was due to an emphasis on more profitable business, including the change in the mix between machining and sales of parts and services and additional fees for services that the Company had previously not been charging for.

Consolidated interest expense in fiscal 2008 was $193,192 compared to $150,311 in fiscal 2007. The overall increase in interest expense was due to the Company increasing the amount of outstanding debt.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,057,215 for fiscal 2008 from $2,151,609 for fiscal 2007, a decrease of $94,394 or 4%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to better control over costs.

The Company incurred a net consolidated loss of $1,036,246 for the year ended February 29, 2008 compared to a loss of $1,450,388 for the year ended February 28, 2007. The decrease in the consolidated net loss is primarily due to the overall increase in revenues, while at the same time, controlling costs. As a result of the continued losses, the Independent Auditors have questioned the Company’s continuation as a going concern.

Manufacturing Segment

The manufacturing operation, International Machine and Welding, Inc. provided net sales of $2,640,796 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 compared to $2,176,391 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. The machining operations provided $818,280 or 31% of net sales with parts and service providing $1,822,516 or 69% of net sales for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 as compared to machining operations contributing $699,340 or 32% of net sales with parts and service providing $1,477,051 or 68% of net sales for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.

Gross profit from International Machine and Welding, Inc. was $1,195,589 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 compared to $858,328 in fiscal 2007 providing gross profit margins of 45% and 39%, respectively. This increase is due to the Company shifting its focus to more sales of parts and services where the margin is greater.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for International Machine and Welding, Inc. were $1,009,069 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 compared to $975,859 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to an overall increase in payroll and payroll related expenses.

Interest expense was $138,405 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 compared to $116,259 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. The increase in interest expense, net is due to the full year of interest expense from the Company’s additional debt that had been taken on during the year ended February 29, 2008.

The Company does not have discrete financial information on each of the three manufacturing divisions, nor does the Company make decisions on the divisions separately; therefore they are not reported as segments.

Fiberglass Segment

The fiberglass manufacturing operation, Chariot Manufacturing Company was acquired during the year ended February 2004 and provided net sales of $209,972 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 as compared to $174,897 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007. The increase in net sales was mainly due to completion of tooling and concentration on sales.

Gross profit from Chariot was $17,864 for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 as compared to $(19,035) for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 providing a gross profit margin of 9% and -11%, respectively. The increase in gross profit and the related gross profit margin was due to the prior year classification of additional labor and material expenses to ‘cost of goods sold’ without a related sale, the costs were incurred to maintain inventory, but were not of a capital nature. During 2008, the Company incurred labor and material in the tooling and molds project that could be capitalized. In the prior year, there were no costs incurred that could be capitalized.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $306,375 for 2008 and $314,593 for 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to the reduction in the cost of goods sold during the period of substantial completion of the tooling assets which are not goods to be sold.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company used net cash for operating activities of $381,185 and $576,834, respectively. The decrease in use of cash is mainly due to the decrease in the net loss.

During the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company (used) provided funds for investing activities of ($155,897) and $215,110, respectively. This increase in cash used from investing activities is mainly due to acquisition of property and equipment.

During the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $526,909 and $360,226, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is due to an increase in the cash received from the issuance of notes payable.

Cash flows from investing and financing activities provided for working capital needs and principal payments on long-term debt through fiscal 2008. As of February 29, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,561,319. To the extent that the cash flows from investing and financing activities are insufficient to finance the Company’s anticipated growth, or its other liquidity and capital requirements during the next twelve months, the Company will seek additional financing from alternative sources including bank loans or other bank financing arrangements, other debt financing, the sale of equity securities (including those issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding warrants and options), or other financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available and, if available, that it will be available on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.

Management has revised its business strategy to include the manufacture of additional products. Although management has reduced debt, new financing to finance operations and to facilitate additional production is still being sought. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

SEASONALITY

The diversity of operations in the manufacturing segment protects it from seasonal trends except in the sales of agricultural processing where the majority of the revenue is generated while the processors await the next harvest.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of consolidated 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimate on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is determined based on net realizable value. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

We value our property and equipment at cost. Amortization and depreciation are calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Fair value estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date. See consolidated financial statements footnote 11.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 159 permits the measurement of specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. We do not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer: 1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; 2) in a business combination achieved in stages, sometimes referred to as a step acquisition, recognizes the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values; 3) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. SFAS 141R establishes disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141R will have an impact on our accounting for future business combinations; however, the materiality of that impact cannot be determined.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) which allows companies that do not have sufficient historical experience for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants to provide a reasonable estimate and to continue use of the “simplified” method after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 extends the opportunity to use the “simplified” method beyond December 31, 2007, as was allowed by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”). Adoption of SAB 110 will not impact our financial statements as we did not use the “simplified” method to estimate lives of share-based awards.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Bartow, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of February 29, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of February 29, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,036,246 during the year ended February 29, 2008 and has an accumulated deficit of $18,250,936 and negative working capital of $2,561,319 at February 29, 2008. In addition, the Company is in default on several notes payable at February 29, 2008. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of February 29, 2008 and for the

Years Ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

American Commerce Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in Rhode Island in 1991 under the name Jaque Dubois, Inc., and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, Jaque Dubois, Inc. changed its name to JD American Workwear, Inc. In December 2000, the stockholders voted at the annual stockholders meeting to change the name of JD American Workwear, Inc. to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Company is primarily a holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries; International Machine and Welding, Inc. is engaged in the machining and fabrication of parts used in industry, and parts sales and service for heavy construction equipment; Chariot Manufacturing Company, Inc., which was acquired on October 11, 2003 from a related party, manufactures motorcycle trailers with fiberglass bodies.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and has used approximately $381,185 of cash in operations for the year ended February 29, 2008. The Company recorded losses from continuing operations of $1,036,246 and $1,450,388 for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively. Current liabilities exceed current assets by $2,561,319 at February 29, 2008. Additionally, the Company is in default on several notes payable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, raise additional capital, and obtain debt financing.

Management has revised its business strategy to include expansion into other lines of business through the acquisition of other companies in exchange for the Company’s stock to facilitate manufacturing contracts under negotiation. In conjunction with the anticipated new contracts, management is currently negotiating new debt and equity financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts at more favorable terms, to finance operations, and to complete additional business acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed are:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of consolidated 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable consist of billed services or products. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,328 is considered adequate at February 29, 2008. Receivables are determined to be past due based on payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not charge significant amounts of interest on past due receivables.

The Company follows SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” to account for its factoring of accounts receivable by selling and assigning all rights, title, and interest to certain of the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company receives 80% of all approved invoices sold to the Factoring Company, which assumes the credit risk. Based on the Factoring Company’s collections of these invoices the Company may receive additional consideration of up to 18%. The Company records the 80% as payment against the invoices sold and records 18% as an amount due from Factoring Company. Once the invoice exceeds 120 days outstanding, the remaining 18% of the receivable is recorded as expense.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense are calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods of accounting over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:


Building and improvements		15 - 39 years
Machine and equipment		5 - 30 years
Office furniture and equipment		5 - 10 years
Trucks and vehicles		5 - 7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Acquired identifiable intangible assets with a cost of approximately $190,000 consist of values assigned to brand recognition, customer list and web site of Chariot Manufacturing Company. These intangibles are amortized on a straight-line method over 5 years. During the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, approximately $38,000 was recognized as amortization expense related to these identifiable intangible assets.

Direct costs incurred with the issuance of notes payable are deferred and amortized over the life of the guaranty. As of February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, the Company incurred amortization expense of $112,642 and $119,760, respectively.

The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs as sales revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handlings are included in cost of sales.

Sales are recorded when products, repairs, or parts are delivered to the customer. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns, allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. No products or parts are delivered with any contingencies except for defects.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, to be held and used or disposed of. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the carrying values of long-lived assets are periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments would be recognized if the expected future operating non-discounted cash flows derived from an asset were less than its carrying value and if the carrying value is more than the fair value of the asset. At February 29, 2008, the Company did not have any asset that it considered impaired.

The Company previously applied the intrinsic value method provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations for stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense on our restricted stock awards, but no compensation expense was recognized for fixed option plans as all option grants under the plan had an exercise price equal or greater to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. As permitted, the Company had previously elected to adopt the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), which replaces SFAS No. 123; Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and similar awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognize this cost in the income statement over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which did not require the recognition of any non-cash charges, as there were no unvested stock options on that date.

The fair value concepts were not changed significantly in FAS 123R; however, in adopting FAS 123R, companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company will continue using the Black-Scholes valuation model and has elected to use the ratable method to amortize compensation expense over the vesting period of the grant.

The value of each grant under FAS 123R is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option model. There were no options granted during the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.

During 2008 and 2007, there was $0 of cash received from the exercise of stock options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at February 29, 2008, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.007 as of the last business day of the year ended February 29, 2008, which would have been received by the optionees had all options been exercised on that date was $0. There were no options exercised during the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.

At February 29, 2008, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, all of which have been approved by the shareholders. The Company did not incur any stock-based employee compensation during the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities and approximates the carrying amounts of the notes.

The Company records stock as issued at the time consideration is received or the obligation is incurred.

Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares was 249,658,419 and 237,735,752 for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, respectively.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes – an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.” This Interpretation provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions, as defined in FASB No. 109, “Accounting for income taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. Guidance is also provided regarding derecognition, classification and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. CAPITALIZATION

On July 10, 2002, the Company adopted a Non-Qualified Option/Stock Appreciation Rights Plan that authorizes 7,000,000 shares of common stock for grant to key management employees or consultants. Options granted under the plan must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. The exercise price of options shall not be less than par value and shall be determined by the Stock Option Plan Committee and the Board of Directors. As of February 29, 2008, the Company has 57,400 options available for future issuance under this plan.

During the year ended February 29, 2004, the Company adopted an employee stock incentive plan (the “Plan”) that authorizes up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to designated officers, employees, and certain non-employees. Effective July 2003, October 2003 and August 2004, the Company amended this plan to include an additional 20,000,000, 25,000,000 and 20,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively. Effective December 2004, the Company amended the plan to reduce the number of shares of common stock by 7,000,000 shares. Options granted under the Plan must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted may not be less than 85 percent of the fair market value of the stock. As of February 28, 2008, the Company has issued all of the options available under this plan.

During the year ended February 29, 2004, the Company also adopted a non-employee directors and consultants retainer stock plan. This plan authorizes up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued in the amount of compensation for services to directors and consultants at the deemed issuance price of not less than 85 percent of the fair market value of the stock. Effective July 2003, October 2003 and December 2004, the Company amended this plan to include an additional 1,000,000, 15,000,000 and 7,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively. As of February 29, 2008, the Company has issued all of the options available under this plan.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and, therefore, no tax liabilities have been incurred for the periods presented. The amount of Federal and State unused tax losses available to carry forward and apply against taxable income in future years totaled approximately $20,460,300 and $10,000,000, respectively. The loss carry forwards expire beginning in 2008. Due to the Company’s continued losses, management has established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of deferred tax asset because it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize this benefit.

Temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets at February 29, 2008, are as follows:


Unused operating loss carry forward	$	7,318,700
Excess depreciation for tax purposes over the amount for financial reporting purposes		(1,042,500	)
Other		17,600

		6,291,600
Valuation allowance		(6,291,600	)

	$	0

The valuation allowance increased by $98,400 during the year ended February 28, 2008. Differences between the federal benefits computed at a statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate and provision are as follows for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007:


	2008			2007
Statutory benefit	$	(352,300	)	$	(493,100	)
State tax benefit, net of federal effect		(37,000	)		(50,600	)
Other		4,500			17,200
Expiration of net operating loss carryforwards		286,400			0
Increase in deferred income tax valuation allowance		98,400			526,500

	$	0		$	0

The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss carry forwards available for use in any given year if significant changes in ownership interest of the Company occur.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007, two executives who are stockholders of the Company deferred approximately $232,400 and $255,900, respectively, of compensation earned during the year. The balance due to stockholders at February 29, 2008 totaled $1,075,110. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no specific repayment terms.

The above amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments during 2008 and 2007, manufacturing and fiberglass. Although both of these segments are in the manufacturing industry, they provide different types of products and services and each segment is subject to different marketing, production and technology strategies. Therefore, for the years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 the Company has included segment reporting.

For the year ended February 29, 2008, information regarding operations by segment is as follows:


	Manufacturing		Fiberglass		Other		Total
Revenue	$	2,640,796	209,972		0		2,850,768

Segment assets	$	4,467,613		889,983		75,657		5,433,253

Segment 1, manufacturing, consists of International Machine and Welding, Inc. and derives its revenues from machining operations, sale of parts and service. Segment 2, fiberglass, consists of Chariot Manufacturing Company and derives its revenues from the manufacture, sale and service of fiberglass trailers.

The manufacturing segment, International Machine and Welding, Inc. has a broad and diverse base of customers. The segment does not rely on any single customer, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the segment. However, this segment does generate a significant amount of revenues from sales and services provided to three different industries. For the year ended February 29, 2008, the construction industry accounted for approximately 32% of the segment’s revenues, while the industrial and mining industries accounted for approximately 20% and 47%, respectively, of the segment’s total revenues.

Although the division does not rely on a single customer, during the year ended February 29, 2008, three of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 48% of total revenues. These customers were the Mosaic Company 36%, Bul-Head Corporation 6% and Marden Industries 6%. During the year ended February 28, 2007, three of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 32% of total revenues. These customers were the Mosaic Company 18%, Vehicare 8% and Marden Industries 6%.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the fiscal period ending February 29, 2008 covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. This conclusion by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer does not relate to reporting periods after February 29, 2008.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 29, 2008 under the criteria set forth in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that material weaknesses exist due to the lack of an independent Board member or Audit Committee member. During the year ended February 29, 2008 the Company’s independent Board member and Audit Committee member passed away. The Company is currently seeking a replacement, but has not yet identified a person to fill those independent positions.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended February 29, 2008, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

A Stockholders Agreement dated April 9, 1998 was entered into among ULLICO, the Company, David N. DeBaene, Annette DeBaene, Norman DeBaene, Thomas Lisi, and Steve Panneton (each, a “Holder”). The Stockholders Agreement provides that the Company shall have a right of first refusal before any Holder may transfer any shares of Common Stock. ULLICO has a right of second refusal and co-sale rights; if the Company does not elect to buy all of the securities it is offered. If ULLICO enters into an agreement to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of all of its Preferred Stock, Warrants and any Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of the former (such agreement referred to as a “Tag-Along Sale”), each Holder has the right to participate in the Tag-Along Sale. If ULLICO, alone or with another person, accepts an offer from any party who is unaffiliated with it to purchase any of ULLICO’s shares which results in such party having the ability to elect a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, then, at the request of ULLICO, each Holder shall sell all shares of Common Stock held by such Holder (referred to as a “Drag-Along Sale”).

The above amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.
