Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10SB/A filing on January 20, 2009. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
Note 2 Net Income/(Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which includes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants granted. Dilutive potential common shares for all periods presented are computed utilizing the treasury stock method. Common stock options of 1,126,250 were considered, but not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock warrants of 1,624,120 were considered, but not included in the computation of loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

On February 28, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the 2008 Stock Option and Purchase Plan. Under the terms of this plan, options may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants and independent contractors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Options are exercisable and vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% per year.
As of December 31, 2008, there were 1,126,250 options outstanding under this plan at the exercise price of $1.00 per share. The issuance of these options was approved by holders of the majority of the companies outstanding common stock. The total amount of Option Expense recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $56,710, of which, $23,466 was recorded as Payroll and Compensation Expense and $33,244 was recorded as Legal and Accounting Expense. The amount of Option Expense to be charged over the remainder of the exercise period is $726,727.
The Company has determined the estimated value of the stock options granted by using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: expected life of 10 years, a risk free interest rate of 3.71-3.88%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 75% in 2008.

Note 9 Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is poorly capitalized and has had recurring net operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and recurring negative working capital for the past several years and is still dependent upon financing to continue operations. These factors create substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is managements plan to continue to implement their strategy of acquiring new customers and accepting reorders from existing customers. As the Companys revenues become more established, management expects to report net income, possibly within the next year. With the expansion of sales, management believes that the Company will eventually, possibly within the next year, generate positive cash flow from operations. In the interim, management believes that shortfalls in cash flow will be satisfied with funds raised from loans, lines of credit and private stock offerings that are in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations governing the same.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition, which are based upon our financial statements. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, appearing in this Report.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of such contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
This Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, which may include statements about our:
Business strategy
Expansion of our manufacturing capabilities
Plans for entering into collaborative agreements
Anticipated sources of funds to finance our operations following the date of this Report
The following words and financial projections contain figures related to plans, expectations, future results, performance, events or other matters that are forward-looking statements. When used in the Plan of Operations, words such as estimate, project, intend, expect, anticipate, and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the science of organics, the development of the Companys products, markets for those products, timing and level of customer orders, competitive products and pricing, changes in economic conditions and other risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance and events are likely to differ and may differ materially and adversely. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements which speak only as of the date of the Plan of Operations. The Company undertakes no obligation to release or deliver to investors revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the Plan of Operations, the occurrence of unanticipated events or other matters that may occur.
17
A. PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Since its inception in August 2003, the Company has been involved in the development and acquisition of a wide variety of non-food organic-based products to be initially sold to retail supermarkets, convenience stores, colleges, universities, laboratories, local, regional and national government agencies, national pharmacies, lawn and garden centers and the funeral industry. In addition, new markets continue to be pursued include costume jewelry, sporting goods, sports teams, computer, optical, hobby and craft, health and beauty, footwear, automotive, cigar catalog houses, the quilting industry, boating, wine industry and the international cocoa industry.
The Company searches out small companies that have excellent non-food organic and natural products, and through our own private label, bring them to market at the retail, wholesale or through the internet. Currently we private label products from Bayscience Formulators, Microbial Technologies and Nevr-Dull.
The Company has a limited operating history on which to evaluate its prospects. The risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by an expanding company must be considered when evaluating the Companys prospects. Management believes that existing funds, in conjunction with minimum funds sought to be raised during 2009and projected revenues from operations will be sufficient to reach self-sufficiency by the end of 2009. Expansion of the business into 2010 and beyond will likely require additional investment through private placement offers most likely in late 2009 or early 2010. There can be no guarantee, however, that the Company will be able to raise either the minimum capital it needs to sustain its 2009 operations or the larger amount of capital it will need to expand and grow the business into 2010 and beyond which would likely have an adverse effect on the Companys ability to continue its operations.
In addition, estimates of costs to develop products, to market them and to seek strategic alliances with manufacturers and distributors might be low. Operating expenses cannot be predicted with any real degree of certainty. They will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, marketing expenses, continued acceptance of the Companys products and competition for such products.
Management has no firm basis for projecting the increase in revenue required to sustain operations, as anticipated above. Such assumptions are based almost entirely on the strategic relationships the Company has forged which it believes will ultimately translate into operating revenues. It is important to stress, however, that these assumptions are not at all based on firm commitments from customers or on other tangible evidence.
The Company currently has 100+ SKUs in its product line offering and it continues to develop and introduce new and better non-food organic products as they present themselves. Its Dragonfly OrganixTM cleaner product line is currently sold in Shaws, Stop & Shop, Tops, Giant, Roche Bros, Albertsons of Florida, Shop-Rite/Wakefern, Gristedes, Key Stores and many other smaller independent supermarkets.
The Company continues to maintain strong, strategic relationships with United Natural Foods (UNFI), a leading natural food distributor based in Chesterfield, NH servicing over 17,000 customers nationwide and Kehe Foods, another leading natural food distributor based in Romeoville, IL which services over 9,000 customers nationwide.
The Company launched its organic fertilizer products in the spring of 2008 under its Mother Natures CuisineTM with Shaws Supermarkets and many Agway Stores. Due to unanticipated production issues the rollout was delayed and sales were less than anticipated. The spring of 2009 is expected to be very strong. Purchase orders or commitments to carry our fertilizer products have been received from Shaws, Stop & Shop, Whole Foods, Bennys Hardware, Rockys Ace Hardware, Aubuchon Hardware, Agway, Kehe Foods and many independent garden centers. In addition, our organically certified insecticide/fungicide product, Garden NEEM, which was first introduced in the spring of 2007, will be shipping many, if not all of the above named customers in conjunction with the fertilizer products. Sales of Garden NEEM in 2009 are on a course to more than triple 2008 sales.
While Kehe Distributors, Inc., has, to date, only sold our Dragonfly Organix line of cleaning products, it has just recently added the Companys entire line of branded Mother Natures Cuisine line of products which includes, All-Purpose, Flower, and Veggie & Herb five pound bagged granular fertilizers, Oh No Deer repellant, Fish & Seaweed liquid concentrate fertilizer, four varieties of suet cakes, & Garden Guys Garden Neem. Kehe Foods has also elected to carry the Companys newest line of Dragonfly Organix 2x scented and unscented Laundry Detergent, however the Company has yet to receive an initial order.
Recently, the Company structured a deal between Northeast Garden Group, Agway, and Land OLakes/Purina Feeds. The Company will act as the broker for all sales of Agways newly launched All-Natural 4-Stage lawn fertilizer. This is the first time Agway has ever launched their own branded natural lawn fertilizer in a 4-Stage offering. The Company also has a sales representative agreement with K&S Sales and Associates to concentrate on sales to other independent garden centers throughout the New England region.
18
The Company has started to generate sales of its Nevr Dull commercial brand of cleaning products with the anticipation of additional sales to commence, where applicable, in some of the aforementioned markets
The Company continues to maintain an e-commerce internet presence hosting three different sites, www.garden-guys.com, www.mothernaturescuisine.com, and www.dragonflyorganix.com. The latter is also under the direction of Eye Level Solutions, a division of Kehe Distributors, Inc., which offers the Dragonfy Organix products for sale in over 12,000 e-commerce capable grocery stores nationwide. Acting as distributor, Kehe will process and fulfill orders placed. This enables the Companys products to gain shelf presence within stores who otherwise may not currently stock these items.
The Company will continue its active participation in various related trade publications and trade shows, starting in January 2009 with the Kehe Summer selling show in Houston, TX, Fisher Scientific National Sales Meeting in Houston, TX, New England Grows Lawn & Garden show in Boston, MA in February and Northeast Region College Book Store show in March, among a few to start the 2009 season.
The Company continues to receive orders from Fisher Scientific, our National Laboratory Distributor that sells into the colleges and universities, Hospital and Healthcare Laboratory industries. In addition, the Educational K-12 and Government services divisions of Fisher Scientific were recently added, and are now offering the Companys OSM branded line of all natural products to their customer base.
Over the course of 2009, sales will continue to ratchet themselves up as new customers come on board and reorders start to come in. In 2009, the Company projects a small loss, however, if sales come in stronger than anticipated, a small profit and positive cash flow from operations are a distinct possibility. If, however, the Company is unsuccessful in raising additional capital by the late summer of 2009, the probability of hitting its short term financial goals will be seriously impacted.
We will continue to use the radio as the primary source for marketing and creating brand awareness of our non-food, all natural product offerings. Sam Jeffries, the Companys President, hosts a live, weekly four hour Sunday morning garden talk radio show which is currently heard on 11 radio stations throughout the Northeast. Using this network of 11 radio stations allows us to keep listeners informed about the importance of considering all natural, organic chemical-free alternatives, how they should use these products and where they can buy them. Since the Company pays for the air time, it also receives an inventory of commercials which are used as a follow up during the work week to educate consumers about organics and where they can purchase the products. This also creates a medium for the Company to offset some of its radio and related expenses by selling the air time to potential sponsors and or advertisers of the radio show. Essentially, the Company has created its own media network, The Garden Guys, within the New England region. Based in Boston, MA it currently holds the eleventh spot for largest market in the country.
As previously noted, the Company has strategic relationships established with key sales representative and distributor organizations in the markets that we service and has developed very strong relationships with several vendors for the fulfillment of our organic liquid and fertilizer product lines. The Company plans to vigorously pursue all strategic relationships that enhance its ability to deliver quality non-food, all natural products at reasonable prices.
The Companys projected Plan of Operations for 2009 consist of the following: (000s omitted)
CALENDAR Year 2009 |
||
Revenues | $2,400 | |
Margin | 840 | |
Selling, General and Administrative Expense | 996 | |
Net Profit/(Loss) from Operations | ($ 156) |
The Company continues to rely on invested capital and short-term debt. The Company continues to seek additional minimum financing of $250,000 to maintain operations in 2009. If operating revenues increase as expected and we attain break even in 2009, operations would most likely be able self-sustaining in 2010; however, additional investor funds would still be needed to continue to expand in 2010 and beyond. On the other hand, if we are unable to raise the minimum financing needed in 2009, the Company would likely exhaust its resources in late 2009.
19
1. Revenue Projections
In some cases, grocery store slotting fees have been paid which guarantees us space on their shelves for a year. Despite its heavy financial commitment to heavily advertise and promote its products to enhance brand awareness, foster customer loyalty and encourage reorders, there can be no guarantee that its products will sell as we believe they will or that the consumer will reorder the products once they have used them.
Our 2009 projections were conservatively made on an industry-by-industry basis with 70% of our projected revenues coming from a combination of Grocery, Convenience and College Book Stores; 25% from our exclusive National Laboratory Distributor, Fisher Scientific and the remaining 10% from a combination of website, radio ads and funeral home industry sales. In preparing our projections we identified customers that we are currently shipping, those to whom we are about to start shipping and those who have indicated a desire to carry our products at some point during 2009. Based upon these assumptions, we estimate how much product would be sold each month and how much the projected dollar revenue would represent on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis.
2. Expense Projections
Costs of sales were projected based upon the amount of product being sold using the extensive by product costs we had developed for each of our products. As volume increases it is expected that costs will go down as a function of better quantity purchases. Our projections do not, however, take these cost reductions into consideration.
General and Administrative costs were projected at 12.5% of revenues, in line with our corporate objective of keeping G&A expenses level as sales increase.
Selling expenses were projected at 29% of revenues. If revenues are higher than projected, more of the additional revenues will be reinvested in further marketing and selling activities. If revenues come in lower than projected, analysis will be done to determine why and, if appropriate, marketing and selling expenses will be reduced or redirected. These expenses include, but are not limited to, radio show costs, display cases, trade shows, slotting fees commissions, samples, payroll and print media advertising.
We believe that we have developed a careful, well-thought out business plan based upon educated assumptions using the most current data available to us. There is, of course, no guarantee as to how much or how often existing or new customers will buy from us. We believe that our business plan contains, however, enough flexibility to weather unforeseen delays in the generation of revenues by being able to modify expenses and other spending, as required, assuming minimum financing is obtained by late 2009.
There can be no assurance that the Companys actual operations will reflect the above projections. Market conditions, competition, supplier delays, the ability to raise capital and all other risks associated with the operation of a business could adversely impact the Companys ability to reach the above projections.
The Company anticipates that in order to fulfill its plan of operations, it will need to attract additional key supermarket chains to sell its natural cleaning and gardening products. The Company has continued to receive orders and re-orders from recognized major supermarket chains and leading national organic food distributors.
The Company has entered into agreements with additional established sales representative organizations; Most recently the Company added Enterprise Sales & Marketing Team, (17 reps) based in Arlington, TX to present its gardening and cleaning products to the South-Western area ( OK, LA, MS, TX NM, KS, AK,) C.A. Fortune (21 reps) based in Bloomingdale, IL to present its gardening and cleaning products to Mid-Western area (IL, MI, MO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, SC, FL, AL, GA, NC, SC, NE, ND, SD, TN, KY, PA) distributors, supermarkets, independent health food stores, drug stores, convenience stores and mass merchant trade retail outlets. In addition, agreements exist with other established sales representative organizations, E.C. Desmond, Inc. based in New York, who is currently selling our gardening and cleaning products to supermarket chains such as Shop-Rite/Wakefern and Gristedes, NE Sales based in MA selling to major hardware chains, automotive, and grocery outlets, and Valk Sales (12 reps) covering ME to FL and focusing on all grocery accounts distributed by UNFI both to independent and large chain stores.
To fulfill orders in a timely fashion, the Company must have the capability of producing and delivering its cleaning and gardening products in sufficient volume and quantity to achieve its projections. To satisfy this requirement, for the past two years the Company has outsourced its fulfillment operation to Webco Chemical Co., located in Dudley, Massachusetts. We believe that Webco has the capacity and ability to handle any and all requirements we may have and more, over the next five years.
20
In addition to the minimum financing needed for 2009, the Company will need to continue to seek financing from outside sources to expand the business into 2010 and beyond In order to provide this necessary additional financing, the Company intends to offer private placement opportunities to investors in an as yet undetermined amount. We have no basis, however, for predicting the success of such an offering.
B. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF ITS OPERATIONS
Detailed information regarding the Companys operations is contained in the Financial Statements section of this Report. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain key information about the Company.
The Company is continuing to focus its efforts on improving and expanding its all natural cleaning and garden product lines and establishing a large viable national distribution network for these products. While there are no assurances, the Company anticipates that by continuing to improve and expand its quality product offerings, in conjunction with establishing a broad national distribution network, it will be in a position to receive substantial revenues in the not-too-distant future.
The Company has incurred costs associated with the development and launching of its products, probable markets and business. The Company has established brand names, consumer recognition and interest in organics through private labels, the internet, the radio show and an established regional distribution network, which will ultimately increase the quality and marketability of the Companys products throughout the country. The Companys products started generating revenues during the second half of calendar 2007.
Significant resources have been allocated to growing and expanding the Company through December 31, 2008. These costs include, but are not limited to $485,143 for Legal and Accounting Fees, $792,349 for Payroll, $415,176 for Advertising, $553,543 for brokered time purchased for our radio shows and $161,278 for Interest Expense.
To absorb these costs noted above, the Company has financed its operations primarily through convertible debentures of $369,800, convertible promissory notes of $869,540, common stock issued in lieu of debt and payables for $329,562 and private placement stock offerings totaling $1,476,216 prior to September 30, 2008.
On October 3, 2008, the Company commenced a private stock offering, whereby it authorized the issuance of 1,440,000 Units consisting of one share of its common stock and one common stock purchase warrant for a total raise of $360,000. The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share and carry a five year exercise period. The offering was completed as of November 30, 2008. All 1,440,000 units were issued and $360,000 in cash was received
The Company has issued shares directly to accredited investors and through the conversion of the 6% convertible debentures and convertible promissory notes previously issued. All such shares have been issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. An approximate total of 70% of the Companys outstanding common shares were restricted as of December 31, 2008.
For a more complete list of sales of unregistered securities by the Company, please refer to Part 5 of Form 10KSB for the year ended September 30, 2008, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described below.
Principles of Accounting
The Company employs the accrual method of accounting for both financial statements and tax purposes. Using the accrual method, revenues and related assets are recognized when earned, and expenses and the related obligations are recognized when incurred. The Company has elected a September 30th year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 104), which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. We earn our revenues from the distribution of garden and cleaning products to retailers and directly to consumers via our internet site and from advertising contracts. Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
23
Revenue from garden and cleaning products is recognized upon shipment of the product. The distribution of products is governed by purchase orders or direct sale agreements which fix the price and delivery date. The Company records a provision for product returns and price markdowns as a reduction of gross sales at the time the product passes to these retailers or consumers. The provision for anticipated product returns and price markdowns is primarily based upon the Companys analysis of historical product return and price markdown results. Should product sell-through results at retail store locations fall significantly below anticipated levels this allowance may be insufficient. The Company will review the adequacy of its allowance for product returns and price markdowns and if necessary will make adjustments to this allowance on a quarterly basis. In compliance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, distribution costs charged to customers are recognized as revenue when the related product is shipped. Advance payments are recorded on the Balance Sheet as deferred revenue until the revenue recognition criteria is met.
Revenue from radio advertising is derived from three sources, the sale of commercial spots on the Garden Guys radio talk shows, the sponsorship of informative show segments and hosting live remote broadcasts. Revenue from radio advertising is recognized after the commercial has been aired and/or a remote broadcast has taken place. Customers will prepay for radio spots or remote broadcasts at the time they contract with the Company to air their commercials or host a remote broadcast. The Company will carry this prepayment as a liability, until such time as economic performance takes place. Money received is refundable prior to the airing of commercials or the airing of the remote broadcast, adjusted by any production or other direct costs incurred up to that point in time.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. During the past twelve months the Company maintained cash in bank accounts which, at times, exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. The Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any losses on these accounts and believes their risk to be minimal.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. The Company feels that the entire balance of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 are collectable and, therefore, no allowance has been taken.
Inventory
The inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out method) or market. Inventory items consist of raw material and finished goods. Raw materials consist of labels, bottles, sprayers, fertilizers and shipping materials. Finished goods consist of fertilizer bags and bottles of organic cleaning products ready for shipment. The inventory consists of newly purchased items; therefore, there is currently no allowance for excess or obsolete inventory.
Prepaid Expenses
Business expenses, including consulting expenses, that are paid for in advance of services being rendered are treated as prepaid expenses. On occasion, the Company pays for prepaid expenses with common stock. When these transactions occur, they are identified as negative components of stockholders equity.
24
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not increase the useful lives of the property and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense primarily consists of the Companys four hour weekly Garden Guys radio call in program with Entercom, Clear Channel and Citadel Communications, slotting fee expense, display case costs, samples and trade show participation. The total advertising expense for the radio show contracts was $89,583 and $35,446 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, the Company advertises its products on its own website and in numerous trade and industry publications.
Income Taxes
The Company is a C Corporation registered in the state of Delaware. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under SFAS No. 109 income taxes are recognized for the following: i) amount of taxes payable for the current year, and ii) deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which includes the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. Dilutive potential common shares for all periods presented are computed utilizing the treasury stock method.
Stock Options
On February 28, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the 2008 Stock Option and Purchase Plan. Under the terms of this plan, options may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants and independent contractors to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Options are exercisable and vest over a four year period at a rate of 25% per year. As of December 31, 2008 there were 1,126,250 options outstanding under this plan at the exercise price of $1.00 per share. Outstanding stock options have not been considered in the fully diluted loss per share calculations due to the anti-dilutive effect.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (SFAS 157). While SFAS 157 formally defines fair value, it establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is required to be adopted effective January 1, 2008 and the Company does not presently anticipate any significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
25
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, EMPLOYERS ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS - AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 87, 88, 106 AND 132® (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income. The funded status of a plan is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation, which is represented by the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for other postretirement plans. SFAS 158 requires the recognition, as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, of the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in accordance with existing accounting principles.
Amounts required to be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, including gains and losses and prior service costs or credits are adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to the recognition and amortization provisions of existing accounting principles. In addition, SFAS 158 requires plan assets and obligations to be measured as of the date of the employers year-end statement of financial position as well as the disclosure of additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year from the delayed recognition of the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits.
The Company is required to adopt those provisions of SFAS 158 attributable to the initial recognition of the funded status of the benefit plans and disclosure provisions as of December 31, 2006. Those provisions of SFAS 158 applicable to the amortization of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits from accumulated other comprehensive income to the net periodic benefit cost were required to be applied on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2007. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 158 will have any impact on its financial statements.
In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES-INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB NO. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, providing that the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. The Company does not presently anticipate any significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141( R ), Business Combinations, which established the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have any impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests which will be characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest shareholders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.and is not expected to have an impact on the Companys financial statements.
26
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In May 2008, the FASB (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (SFAS 163). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
Reclassifications
There were no prior year reclassifications made during the reporting periods shown.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates.
Equity Issuances for Services
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT. This Statement revises SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES SFAS No. 123(R) focuses primarily on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. This Statement is effective as of the first reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and determined that the share based employee compensation programs are a valuable instrument in retaining and rewarding employees and as a result, the Company will appropriately expense the costs of administering share based compensation programs as required by SFAS 123(R). The issuance of share based compensation has had an immaterial impact on the Companys financial statements. In the absence of any readily available market value for the stock, the company used par value until 2005. There has not been any share based compensation earned since 2005.
Accounting for Income Taxes
As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes. Management judgment is required in determining our provision for our deferred tax asset. We recorded a valuation for the full deferred tax asset from our net operating losses carried forward due to our not having demonstrated any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust such valuation, as recorded.

Subsequent Events
On January 28, 2009, the Company commenced a private stock offering, whereby it authorized the issuance of 1,750,000 Units consisting of one share of its common stock and one common stock purchase warrant for a total raise of $262,500. The common stock purchase warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share and carry a five year exercise period. The offering is scheduled to close on March 31, 2009. As of February 18, 2009, 66,667 shares were issued and $10,000 in cash was received against this offering.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and accordingly we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Related To Our Business And Operations
Should consumer interest in organic or natural products diminish or discontinue; should there be a natural disaster that adversely impacts garden center product sales such as extreme weather conditions throughout the United States; should there be a shortage of suppliers in the enzyme technology that is used in some of our products or should there be a slower than anticipated roll-out of products to customers due to such external factors, the Companys ability to realize a profit and yield a positive cash flow from operations as quickly as we anticipate could be adversely impacted.
Should our suppliers not be able to deliver in the quantities the Company needs at any given time in order to fulfill orders; should our contract manufacturer not be able to deliver finished goods in a timely manner or suffer any type of physical plant disaster, labor strike or shortage, it would adversely impact the Companys business. Difficult challenges may be incurred as more competitors, who are more heavily financed than we are, enter into the market and create pricing issues which could adversely impact the Companys operations.
Undercapitalization could impose growth restraints on the Company preventing us from entering other markets and regions, as planned. The Company will continue to actively pursue private placement investor funding as allowed by SEC regulations and to satisfy debt and payables with stock, stock options and/or warrants
28
as a means of capitalizing the Company until operations are sufficient enough to be self-sustaining, which could happen by the end of 2009. There can be no assurance, however, that these activities will be successful.
If Sam Jeffries were unable to host and produce the weekly talk show, this could have an adverse impact on the shows educational and promotional programming which is considered an essential part of our advertising and marketing plan. The present co-hosts, Jim Zoppo and Layanee DeMerchant, could produce and conduct the show in Sam Jeffries absence. In addition, Jim Zoppo, is a well respected, well known horticulturist and radio talk show host in his own right.
Although unlikely, interest in organics could diminish which would have an adverse effect on the popularity of the radio show. To mitigate this possibility, home remedy, how to and natural and organic health-care alternative segments are being added to the shows programming to expand listener interest and extend the seasonality of the show. The Company also has plans to ultimately reach a national audience by franchising the Garden Guys concept throughout the country by having local talk shows discuss organics and lawn and gardening techniques and problems indigenous to each of those regions.
We just recently started to receive meaningful cash flow from customer sales. We expect that for the short term future, we will still rely on external funding sources, primarily equity capital, to finance our operations. While we believe that increasing cash flow from customer sales will ultimately provide adequate funds to permit us to become self-sufficient, possibly, by the end of 2009; until then, we will continue to require additional capital from investors. If we were unable to obtain such funding from outside sources, we would likely be forced to reduce the level of our operations and business failure could become a real possibility.
As stated above, the Company relies heavily upon a small team of full-time officers and consultants. It has key man life insurance on the CEO, Samuel Jeffries that would compensate us in the event of his demise. Sam Jeffries continued involvement is deemed especially critical to our marketing efforts. The loss of Sam Jeffries or one of several key officers or consultants could have an adverse impact on the Companys chances for success. At present, key man insurance coverage is not being pursued on the other full-time officers due to cost.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Stock
Our stock officially began trading on Monday, May 5, 2008 on the Over The Counter Electronic Bulletin Board under the trading symbol; OGSM. Even with our shares being traded publicly, there is a substantial overhang of outstanding shares that would be eligible for sale under Rule 144. Such sales, if they were to occur, could tend to suppress the market value of our shares for some time.
Our board of directors determines whether to pay cash dividends on our issued and outstanding shares. Such determination will depend upon our future earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition and other relevant factors. At present, our board is not intending to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Earnings, once achieved, are expected to be retained to help finance the growth of our business and for general corporate purposes.
Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws and Delaware law may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us or for our stockholders to remove existing management, and might discourage a third party from offering to acquire us, even if a change in control or in management would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example, our Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue different series of shares of common stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders and our Board of
29
Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of such series of common stock. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of common stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of other common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of other series of our common stock.
