NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED) |
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Organization and Description of Business
On May 24, 2004, Spectre Industries, Inc., (Spectre) a Nevada corporation, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the merger) with Advanced Custom Sensors, Inc. (ACSI, the Company and accounting acquirer). Spectre (the legal acquirer) issued 38,773,581 pre-split shares of common stock (2,584,905 post-split shares) and warrants to purchase up to 79,535,549 pre-split shares of common stock (5,302,370 post-split shares) to the shareholders of ACSI (see Note 12) and transferred all of its assets to ACSI, ACSI assumed all of Spectres liabilities, and ACSI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectre. Immediately prior to the Merger, Spectre had nominal assets and limited business operation and accordingly, the Merger, which is similar to a reverse acquisition of Spectre by ACSI, was accounted for
as a recapitalization. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2004, and for the periods then ended are those of ACSI for all periods presented and those of Spectre since the date of merger and recapitalization.
ACSI, incorporated in the State of California on June 21, 1996, is a manufacturer and assembler of sensors and micro systems, and its products include thin film sensors, thin film pressure sensors and micro-machined pressure sensors, and micro systems that may include sensors, signal conditioning circuits, LCD display, computer interface and molded housing specifically designed to the customers needs.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, for nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company suffered a loss of $1,134,805 and utilized cash in operating activities of $436,022, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,500,786 and a stockholders equity deficiency of $1,135,453 as of September 30, 2004. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Management believes that actions are presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements in order to improve the Company's financial position and operating results. However, given the levels of its cash resources and working capital deficiency at September 30, 2004, management believes cash to be generated by operations will not be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for operations, working capital, and capital expenditures during 2004. The Company completed a reverse merger with Spectre Industries, Inc., a public shell company, to gain access to the United States and European capital markets, but there can be no assurances that the Company will ultimately be successful in this regard.

(C) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped and invoiced to the customer.
(E) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may have exceeded federally insured levels at various times during the year. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk in cash. The Companys trade receivables result primarily the sale of its products, and the concentration of credit risk includes a customer base located throughout North America and Asia.
Approximately 90% of the Companys sales were to customers in North America during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
(F) Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
(G) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided at the time property and equipment is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.

(H) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying statutory tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities include the impact of any tax rate changes enacted during the year.
(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes that the carrying value of its cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, line of credit, due to investors, and notes payable to related party as of September 30, 2004 approximates their respective fair values due to the demand or short-term nature of those instruments.
(J)Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain accounts in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current year financial statements.
(K) Stock Based Compensation
As described in Note 12, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APBO) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for stock-based compensation and to furnish the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.
(L) Earnings (Loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive common shares. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had granted employee stock options for 146,500 shares of common stock in ACSI and warrants to purchase 925,666 shares of common stock in ACSI that are potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of common stock options and warrants were not used to compute dilutive loss per share for 2004 and 2003 because the result of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(M) Note payable-debt discount cost
The Company has issued warrants to an investor and a related party. The warrants are being treated as additional consideration for notes payable. The deferred cost of the warrants was determined as the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the most recent issue price and is being amortized over the term of the related notes payable (see Note 7 and 8).
(N) New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, relating to consolidation of certain entities. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FIN 46 46R that replaced the original FIN 46. FIN 46R requires identification of a companys participation in variable interest entities (VIEs), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit it to operate on a standalone basis. For entities identified as a VIE, FIN 46R sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment
of which party to the VIE (if any) bears a majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46R also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company is not currently participating in, or invested in any VIEs, as defined in FIN 46R.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. It is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated within the statement, and should be applied prospectively. Management believes the provisions of this Standard currently have no effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 is to be implemented by reporting
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have a significant effect on the Companys financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NOTE 12 STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIENCY
Subsequent to the Merger, on June 8, 2004, the Company had a 1 for 15 reverse stock split that was approved by the board of directors. Retroactive effect has been given to all share and per share amounts that are presented in the accompanying financial statements.
Stock Option Plan
ACSI has a stock option plan, which provides for the granting of options to employees, independent representatives and directors of the Company. ACSI is authorized to issue 200,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price is fixed by the plan administrator. Under the formula contained in the plans provisions, the options vest over four years upon the completion of service. The options expire ten years from the date of grant.
The Company has applied the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, for the nine months period ended September 30, 2004. Issued in December 2002, SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported
results. As permitted by SFAS No. 148, the company continues to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation has been recognized. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, the 10,000 of incentive stock options issued did not have any fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model and therefore there are no pro forma compensation costs presented.

OVERVIEW
On May 24, 2004, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Advanced Custom Sensors, Inc (ACSI). Until we acquired ACSI, we had only nominal assets and liabilities and limited business operations. Although ACSI became our wholly-owned subsidiary following the acquisition, because the acquisition resulted in a change of control, the acquisition was recorded as a reverse merger whereby ACSI is considered to be the accounting acquirer. As such, the following results of operations are those of ACSI.
ACSI was founded by an engineering management team with over 50 years of Micro-electro-mechanical-systems or "MEMS" transducer experience. Its objective is to provide high quality sensors and transducers at an economical price by employing innovative designs and creative manufacturing methods. ACSI offers a variety of Digital Pressure Gauges, Pressure Transducers, Pressure Sensors, Force Beams, Load Cells, Strain Gauges and Sensor Kits.
ACSI commenced operations as a private company in September of 1996. ACSI is headquartered in Irvine, California where ACSI occupies a 25,000 square foot facility fully equipped with fabrication capability. ACSI has fifteen (15) employees in the United States, and utilizes a network of independent contractors and consultants throughout the United States and Asia. ACSI produces or supplies a family of nearly thirty (30) distinctive products. ACSI set up a volume production line with an ISO 9000 partner in Taiwan in 2002. This allows ACSI to penetrate high-volume consumer markets that are very price sensitive.
ACSI's MEMS sensor technology is the result of technology development work done at Rosemount and Endevco. ACSI believes that its technology will enable it to become a global supplier of advanced MEMS/Microelectronic products in myriad developing markets. ACSI's strategic plan is to focus on developing custom MEMS pressure sensor devices and forming strategic partnerships where its strategic partners dominate the sales channels in industries accepting MEMS sensor applications.
In addition to its core operational assets dedicated to the MEMS sensor markets, ACSI owns approximately 12% of TransOptiX, Inc., ("TransOptiX"), a business dedicated to the development and production of high performance optical switches. TransOptiX intends to make significant progress in 2004 and 2005 in the optical switch segment by offering its switches at prices up to 40% below its competition and with better performance.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We plan to grow our business focusing on internal growth, importing qualified products, and strategic acquisition. We will actively seek equity or debt funding to bring in the necessary resources to execute this plan.
We will invest to increase our production capacity and will qualify offshore suppliers to help reduce the cost of our products. Substantial efforts will be invested in sales and marketing in order to expand our customer base and to secure more OEM projects.
We will develop procedures to import qualified products to fulfill the needs of our customers. These products can be sold as-is or modified.
Our long-term growth strategy is to focus on system solutions with built-in sensors. We anticipate that this will be accomplished through a strategic alliance. Any such acquisition will require additional capital which we will raise in the form of debt or equity, or a combination thereof. However, there can be no assurance that these funds will be available.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
Revenues
We generated revenues of $161,726 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, which was $67,897 or a 72% increase from $93,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is the result of the hiring of a full-time sales manager and sales representatives, and an increase in our manufacturing capacity.
Gross Profit(Loss)
Gross loss for the three months ended September 30, 2004, was ($49,975) or (30.9)% of revenues, compared to $11,819 or 12.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The $61,794 decrease was mainly due to late posting of $9,900 inventory in June 30, 2003 and also due to increase in purchases of small tooling and hardware.
Net Loss
Net loss from operations increased to ($602,736) for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to ($206,356) for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The loss as a percentage of income increased to 373% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 220% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, primarily as a result of $182,200 in notes payable - debt discount costs along with increase in investment in R&D and production capacity. The difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the most recent issue price is being amortized over the term of the notes.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004, increased to $37,716 compared to $2,398 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to the accrual of interest on following promissory notes.
$190,665 note to Tina Young with a due date of December 31, 2004
$110,000 note to Tina Young with a due date of March 16, 2005
$25,000 note to Pei Hen Hsu with a due date of October 2, 2004
$500,000 note to Sino-American with a due date of February 11, 2005
Nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003
Revenues
We generated revenues of $465,202 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, which was a $156,622 or a 50.8% increase from $308,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase is the result of the hiring of a full-time sales manager, the addition of new sales representatives and the introduction of new products.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, was $41,718 or 9% of revenues, compared to $68,637 or 22.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The $26,919 decrease in gross profit was mainly due to increase in purchases of small tooling and hardware.
Net Loss
Net loss increased to ($1,134,805) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to ($451,247) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The loss as a percentage of income increased to 244% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 146% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily as a result of $400,646 of notes payable - debt discount costs along with increase in investment in R&D and production capacity. The difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the most recent issue price is being amortized over the term of the notes.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, increased to $70,794 compared to $4,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to the accrual of interest on following promissory notes.
$190,665 note to Tina Young with a due date of December 31, 2004
$110,000 note to Tina Young with a due date of March 16, 2005
$25,000 note to Pei Hen Hsu with a due date of October 2, 2004
$500,000 note to Sino-American with a due date of February 11, 2005
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have relied primarily on cash flow from operations, bank loans, and advances and investments from our shareholders for our capital requirements since inception.
At September 30, 2004, cash was $37,209 as compared to $33,406 at September 30, 2003. The increase is due to the net cash from promissory notes. We have a substantial working capital deficit. We require $3,000,000 to continue operations for the next three years. We are in the process of raising capital in the form of equity and/or debt. However, there is no guarantee that we will raise sufficient funds to execute our business plan. To the extent we are unable to raise sufficient funds, our business plan will be required to be substantially modified, its operations curtailed or protection under bankruptcy/reorganization laws sought.
We are addressing our liquidity requirements by the following actions: Continue our programs for selling products; continue to seek investment capital through the public markets. However, there is no guarantee that these strategies will enable us to meet our obligations for the foreseeable future.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, for nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company suffered a loss of $1,134,805 and utilized cash in operating activities of $436,022, and has a working capital deficiency of $1,500,786 and a stockholders equity deficiency of $1,135,453 as of September 30, 2004. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Commitments and Contingencies
We have the following material contractual obligations and capital expenditure commitments:
On February 11, 2004, ACSI signed a promissory note with Sino-American to form a joint venture for a sensor production facility in Wuhan, China. The promissory note is for $500,000 payable in two installments of $250,000. The first payment was made on February 12, 2004. The second payment of $250,000 was made on July 30, 2004.
Inflation and Changing Prices
We do not foresee any adverse effects on our earnings as a result of inflation or changing prices.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amount of assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of the fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, accounts receivable, doubtful accounts and inventories. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and assumptions made. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical
experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.
The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue when goods are shipped and invoiced to the customer
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. We place our cash in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may have exceeded FDIC insured levels at various times during the year. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk in cash. The Companys trade receivables result primarily the sale of its products, and the concentration of credit risk includes a customer base located throughout North America and Asia.
Approximately 90% our sales were to customers in North America in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided at the time property and equipment is placed in service using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying statutory tax rates applicable to future years to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities include the impact of any tax rate changes enacted during the year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We believe that the carrying value of our cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, line of credit, due to investors, due to shareholder, and notes payable to related party as of September 30, 2004, approximates their respective fair values due to the demand or short-term nature of those instruments.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain accounts in the prior year financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current year financial statements.
Stock Based Compensation
As described in Note 12, we have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for stock-based compensation and to furnish the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive common shares. As of September 30, 2004, we had granted employee stock options for 146,500 shares of common stock in ACSI and warrants to purchase 815,666 shares of common stock in ACSI and 110,000 shares of common stock in Spectre that are potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of common stock options and warrants were not used to compute dilutive loss per share for 2004 and 2003 because the result of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Note payable-debt discount cost
We have issued warrants to an investor and a related party. The warrants are being treated as additional consideration for notes payable. The deferred cost of the warrants was determined as the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the most recent issue price and is being amortized over the term of the related notes payable.
Other significant accounting policies
Other significant accounting policies not involving the same level of measurement uncertainties as those discussed above, are nevertheless important to an understanding of the financial statements. The policies related to consolidation and loss contingencies require difficult judgments on complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Certain of these matters are among topics currently under reexamination by accounting standards setters and regulators. Although no specific conclusions reached by these standards setters appear likely to cause a material change in our accounting policies, outcomes cannot be predicted with confidence.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, relating to consolidation of certain entities. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FIN 46 46R that replaced the original FIN 46. FIN 46R requires identification of a companys participation in variable interest entities (VIEs), which are defined as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufficient to fund future activities to permit it to operate on a standalone basis. For entities identified as a VIE, FIN 46R sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based
on an assessment of which party to the VIE (if any) bears a majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46R also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed significant, even if consolidation is not required. We are not currently participating in, or invested in any VIEs, as defined in FIN 46R.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. It is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated within the statement, and should be applied prospectively. Management believes the provisions of this Standard currently have no effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 is to be
implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 150 will have a significant effect on our financial statement presentation or disclosures.
