Estimated results for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006.

Revenue 

Gross revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, was $762,666 and $2,271,867, respectively, as compared to $434,575 and $1,111,127 for the same periods in 2006. The increase in the three and nine months revenue of $328,091 and $1,160,740, or 75% and 104% respectively, is due to inclusion of sales revenue from the operation of the Landis Salon in the sum of $1,375,810, an increase of $429,905 or 45% over Landis revenue from the first nine months of 2006.  Also the inclusion of $663,945, an increase of $638,791 over revenue from the first nine months of 2006 in revenue from the Black Chandelier operations of Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc., which was acquired in September of 2006.
 
Operating Losses
 
Nexia recorded operating losses of $1,235,347 and $3,378,602 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, compared to losses of $1,525,146 and $2,490,447 for the comparable periods in the year 2006. The decrease in three and increase in nine month operating losses of $289,799 and $888,155, or 19% and 36% respectively, was the result of the increases in promotional marketing of Nexia stock of $978,788, stock subscriptions receivable expense of $663,936 and operating loss of $772,541 from Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. which was acquired in September 2006.

Net Income or Losses
 
Nexia recorded net losses of $1,260,113 and $3,284,502 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as compared to a net loss of $1,659,962 and net income of $95,933 for the comparable periods in 2006. The decrease in the three and increase in the nine month net losses of $399,849 and $3,380,435, or 24% and 3,524% respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006, reported above, is attributable primarily to the gain recognized on marketable securities of $2,306,950 in 2006 which was not realized in 2007.  The stock received for past services in the form of China Fruits stock contributed $2,400,000 to income during 2006. There was no similar receipt of investment securities during the first six months of 2007.  Other factors affecting the change were operating expenses recognized from the Landis Salon operations, the addition of the Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. operations and other expenses described in “Operating Losses” paragraph above. 

Nexia may not operate at a profit through fiscal 2007. Since Nexia's activities are tied to its ability to operate its retail operations and real estate properties at a profit, future profitability or its revenue growth tends to follow changes in the markets for these activities. There can be no guarantee that profitability or revenue growth will be realized in the future.

Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, were $1,559,506 and $3,931,863 compared to $670,556 and $1,495,145 for the same periods in 2006. The increase in three and nine months expenses of $888,950 and $2,436,718, or 133% and 163% respectively, resulted from the addition of Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. expenses of $711,877, an increase in Nexia’s marketing stock expense of $978,788, expense for Nexia option shares issued of $663,936.  The remaining difference was a decrease to various expenses of $82,117.
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, were $63,636 and $169,271 compared to $47,106 and $122,717 for same periods in 2006. The increase in the three and nine month expenses of $16,530 and $46,554, or 35% and 38% respectively, was attributable primarily to the addition of depreciable equipment held by Gold Fusion Laboratories, Inc. acquired in September of 2006.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
On September 30, 2007, Nexia had current assets of $534,130 and $4,629,326 in total assets compared to current assets of $1,053,366 and total assets of $4,765,452 as of December 31, 2006. Nexia had net working capital deficit of $2,063,430 at September 30, 2007, as compared to a net working capital deficit of $1,192,339 at December 31, 2006. The increase in working capital deficit of $871,091 is due primarily to the reduced fair market value of marketable securities, the sale of marketable securities, and increased accounts payable to related parties and accrued liabilities. Prepaid expenses decreased by $135,000 when the Company’s prepaid consulting agreement was completed in the first quarter of 2007.
