See notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements -6- NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Organization ------------ NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation that was incorporated on October 28, 1987 as Jaguar Investments, Inc. On March 11, 2003, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company merged with Freight Rate, Inc., a development stage company in the logistics software business. On May 8, 2003, the Company changed its name to Power2Ship, Inc. On October 11, 2006, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but its name being changed to Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. effective November 9, 2006. On December 10, 2007, the Company merged with a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, NuState Energy Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with the Company surviving but renamed NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. effective December 20, 2007. The Company is a third party logistics services provider and a developer of web-based applications that provide pertinent, real-time information to the worldwide transportation and security industries. These applications rely on telematics to collect various pieces of vehicle and container-based data and integrate it with information gathered from various disparate legacy systems across the supply chain. The data is then synthesized and reformatted into valuable, actionable information, and delivered to appropriate end-users across the logistics value chain through secure web-based applications. Among the many capabilities of these telematics solutions are on-demand live diagnostics, two-way communication, temperature alerts, electronic fuel tax payment, inventory/asset visibility, secure trucking and matching of available freight with available trucks. In August 2007, the Company launched My Driver SeatTM, its proprietary software application that provides critical information that may be used to validate nearly any products designed to improve fuel efficiency or reduce harmful gas emissions more accurately and quickly than any other method. At the same time, My Driver SeatTM is a fuel management tool that provides real-time information, such as vehicle speeds, idling times, out-of-route notifications, and unauthorized use, which translates to significant fuel savings. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, virtually all of our revenue was generated by providing freight transportation services. This revenue includes the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. In some instances, our freight transportation services are provided to our customers using our own transportation equipment, referred to as asset-based services. In other instances, our freight transportation services are provided to our customers using the transportation equipment of independent truck owner-operators under contract with CXT as well as by numerous unaffiliated trucking companies located throughout the United States arranged by CXT's freight transportation brokerage, referred to as non-asset based services. On February 25, 2005, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Fittipaldi Carriers, Inc., formerly P2S Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation. Then, on March 21, 2005, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fittipaldi Carriers, Inc., Commodity Express Transportation, Inc. ("CXT"), a Delaware corporation formed on March 21, 2002, acquired certain assets and liabilities of Commodity Express Transportation, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (see Note 4 "Intangible Assets" for further details). CXT is licensed by the United States Department of Transportation as a motor carrier and a broker, arranging for transportation of freight (except household goods) by motor carriers. CXT is engaged in the 7 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) business of motor carriage specializing in full truckload transportation services primarily using dry vans. CXT presently serves the southeastern United States from its South Carolina base with a fleet, as of April 30, 2008, of 93 tractors comprised of 74 CXT-owned or leased units and 19 owner-operator units with which it has independent contractor lease agreements and 424 trailers. In addition, CXT rents a 137,000 square foot warehouse facility in South Carolina to service its largest customer and provides freight transportation brokerage services through a wholly owned subsidiary of CXT, Commodity Express Brokerage, Inc., a Florida corporation formed on March 3, 2005. Also, on March 21, 2005, Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. ("P2SI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of CXT formed as a Delaware corporation on March 21, 2002, acquired certain assets and liabilities representing the business of GFC, Inc. It was a New Jersey based company in the business of motor carriage specializing in intermodal drayage transportation services. The operations of P2SI ceased effective June 30, 2006 (see Note 4 "Intangible Assets" for further details). The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles as would be included in audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2008. The Company has experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of March 31, 2008, it had a working capital deficit of $5,816,893, an accumulated deficit of $36,095,185, a stockholders' deficit of $3,583,092, and its independent auditors' report on its financial statements for fiscal year 2007 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to pay its past due debt obligations, and accrued interest thereon, and repay its current debt and other liabilities when they become due and to increase its revenue and generate profitable operations in the future. The Company plans to continue to provide for its capital requirements through the sale of equity or debt securities; however, it has no firm commitments from any third parties to provide this financing and no assurance can be provided that it will be successful in raising working capital as needed. There are no assurances that it will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan, pay its obligations as they become due or generate positive operating results. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to reduce or eliminate some or all of its operations. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. 8 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Reclassifications ----------------- Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders' deficit. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- The Company considers all unrestricted deposits and highly liquid investments, readily convertible to known amounts, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. Income Taxes ------------ Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the reported revenue streams of the Company: Freight transportation revenue consists of the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. The Company recognizes freight transportation revenue when shipments of goods reach their destinations and the receiver of the goods acknowledges their receipt by signing a bill of lading which, for the vast majority of the Company's shipments, occurs on the same day as the goods are picked up. At that time, our obligations to the customer are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent", establishes the criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. When we provide these freight transportation services, we are the primary obligor, we are a principal to the transaction not an agent, we have the risk of loss for collection, we 9 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) have discretion to select the supplier when we do not supply the services and we have latitude in pricing decisions. Stock-Based Compensation ------------------------ Effective March 31, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. As required by SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognized the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the financial statements. Prior to March 31, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation plans (including shares issued under its stock option plans) in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and followed the pro forma net income, pro forma income per share, and stock-based compensation plan disclosure requirements set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No. 123"). For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted stock options to purchase 14,000,000 shares of its common stock (see Note 6). Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of long-lived assets ------------------------------- The Company evaluates the recoverability and carrying value of its long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, based on guidance issued in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Among other factors considered in such evaluation is the historical and projected operating performance of business operations, the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information and market trends. At March 31, 2008, the Company had no assets which were considered to be impaired. Research and Development ------------------------ Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. No research and development expenses were incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Computer Software and Web Site Development Costs ------------------------------------------------ The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Consensus #00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. The type of costs incurred by the Company in developing its internal use software and Web site include, but are not limited to, payroll and payroll-related costs (e.g. fringe benefits) for employees who devote time to the internal use computer software or Web site project, consulting fees, the 10 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) price of computer software purchased from third parties and travel expenses incurred by employees or consultants in their duties directly associated with developing the software. These costs are either expensed or capitalized depending on the type of cost and the stage of development of the software and Web site. SOP 98-1 and EITF #00-2 define three stages of development: - the preliminary or planning stage includes all activities related to conceptualizing, evaluating and selecting the alternatives for implementing the project including, but not limited to, developing a project plan, determining desired functionalities and content, identifying required hardware and software tools and selecting external vendors and consultants. All internal and external costs during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred. - the application and infrastructure development stage begins immediately upon conclusion of the preliminary or planning stage and includes, but is not limited to, all activities related to designing the software configuration and software interfaces, acquiring or customizing the software necessary to build the application, coding, hardware installation and testing, including parallel processing. Generally, any internal and external costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the software of three to five years. General and administrative costs and overhead costs are not capitalized. Amortization for each module or component of software begins after all substantial testing is completed and it is deemed to be ready for its intended use. The only exception to beginning amortization at that time would be if the functionality of that module or component is entirely dependent on the completion of other modules or component in which case the amortization would begin when both the module and the other modules upon which it is functionally dependent are ready for their intended use. - the post-implementation/operation stage includes, but is not limited to, activities related to training, user administration, application maintenance, system backups, routine security reviews, the costs of which are expensed as incurred. Also, upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality may occur during this stage, the costs of which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the upgrade or enhancement of three to five years. At March 31, 2008, the net book value of capitalized software was $1,491,460. Amortization expense was $40,569 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized internal use software and Web site by comparing the amount capitalized for each module or component of software to their estimated net realizable values. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable values, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable values. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Accounts Receivable ----------------------------------------------------- Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to significant 11 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's investment policy is to invest in low risk, highly liquid investments. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in its cash investments. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $100,000 per institution. At March 31, 2008, the Company's restricted cash balance in one account exceeded the insured limits by approximately $48,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash on deposit. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customer base including those that represent its accounts receivable at March 31, 2008. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses historically have been within management's expectations. NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATIONS During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, two customers accounted for $14,159,392 or approximately 72.6% of the Company's revenue and those same two customers accounted for $1,402,985 or approximately 51.4% of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, as of March 31, 2008. During this period, no other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable. NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS In October 2006, the Company entered into an Amendment to a License Agreement dated March 1, 2005 with EF Marketing, LLC and Emerson Fittipaldi. The Amendment included provisions providing the Company with the exclusive right to use the property licensed from EF Marketing globally rather than solely in the United States and its territories and the right to change its corporate name to include the name Fittipaldi.

This line of credit has a borrowing limit of $3,000,000, has a floating rate of interest equal to the prime rate plus one percent and a maturity date, as amended, of June 4, 2008.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) amount of an amended version of the Company's 5% Series B secured convertible debentures that was recorded as $400,000 of interest expense. The investor immediately converted the debenture into 16,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.025 per share. The note originally was secured by a primary or secondary lien on the Company's assets excluding those assets owned by its subsidiary Fittipaldi Carriers, Inc. and 100,000 shares of Series I preferred stock convertible into 50,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock held in escrow. The financing agreement with the investor specifies that 50,000 shares of the Series I preferred stock were to be released to the Company from escrow upon issuance of the 16,000,000 shares underlying the Series B debentures although, as of the date of filing this Form 10-QSB, none of the Series I preferred shares have been released to the Company. The remaining 50,000 shares of Series I preferred stock were to be released to the Company upon full repayment of the note and accrued interest within 15 days of its original maturity date or, if not repaid by then, 5,000 shares are to be released to the investor commencing 15 days after the maturity date and on each of the next nine monthly anniversary dates thereafter as long as the note and accrued interest have not been repaid in full by such dates. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 10,000 shares of the Series I preferred shares, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of common stock, were released to the investor and recorded as $70,000 of interest expense. - $400,000 of 16% secured promissory notes due January 15, 2008 issued to three investors.

These investors immediately converted the debentures into 6,400,000 shares of common stock at $0.025 per share. These notes were not repaid by their maturity date. If the Company receives notices of noncompliance and potential default from any holders of past due notes, the Company would have an obligation to rectify or otherwise receive a waiver from them. While the Company currently does not have any such notices, it is possible that notice could be provided at any time in the future, which would likely cause the Company to be in default under its agreement and obligations to the debenture holder. Any default could accelerate the Company's obligations to repay all debenture holders, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and perhaps other obligations owed to other parties. We cannot assure you that we would be in a position to arrange alternative financing to satisfy these obligations in the event of a default. - $125,000 of 16% unsecured promissory notes due March 4, 2008 issued to one investor. The note and accrued interest were not paid when due and, on March 24, 2008, the investor agreed to extend the maturity date of the note, and accrued interest thereon, until September 4, 2008.

The Company made the first three of these monthly payments and has not made any further payments since May 2006. On February 27, 2008, GFC, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County (Case No. 600582/08) naming as defendants Power2Ship, Inc., Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. and Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. The complaint listed several causes of action with the most material being that the Company breached the Asset Purchase Agreement it entered into in February 2005 with GFC, Inc. by failing to pay $200,000 and breached the Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release it entered into in February 2006 with GFC, Inc. by not paying $33,000. The Company believes it has substantial defenses and counterclaims against GFC, Inc.

These debentures are secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company's assets. If the Company receives notice of noncompliance and potential default from any holders of these debentures, the Company would have an obligation to rectify or otherwise receive a waiver from them. While the Company currently does not have any such notices, it is possible that notice could be provided at any time in the future, which would likely cause the Company to be in default under its agreement and obligations to the debenture holder. Any default could accelerate the Company's obligations to repay all debenture holders, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and perhaps other obligations owed to other parties. We cannot assure you that we would be in a position to arrange alternative financing to satisfy these obligations in the event of a default. In the event we were unable to satisfy these obligations, then the holders could seek to foreclose on our primary assets. If the holders were successful, we would be unable to conduct our business as it is presently conducted and our ability to generate revenue and fund our ongoing operations would be materially adversely affected. - $406,183 of 14.25% unsecured convertible debentures held by two investors, net of the $22,627 remaining discount on notes payable recorded due to issuances of 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $30,000 and a three-year warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common 15 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC.

The conversion price resulted in a beneficial conversion provision due to the conversion being less than the market price of the common stock at the time of the issuance which was recorded as additional interest expense of $20,000 that is being amortized over the term of the note. - $175,000 of 8% unsecured convertible promissory notes, and accrued interest thereon, which is past due. The note holder has notified the Company in writing that it is seeking to accelerate full repayment of the note and accrued interest and, if not repaid, may pursue all available remedies. This acceleration request and certain actions that may be taken by the note holder may result in acceleration of other Company obligations to other parties.

Options and Warrants -------------------- The Company's board of directors has the authority to determine when and to whom it grants options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the board determines the number of options and warrants to be granted and all other terms and conditions related to these securities such as the recipients' vesting schedules, expiration dates, exercise prices and restrictions. Stock Options ------------- The Company adopted SFAS 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", effective March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the Company now measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the options. This cost is recognized over the vesting period, if any, specified in the stock option agreement. Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company had chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in which the cost of employee stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value of the Company's stock on the grant date over the exercise price of the stock options. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of its common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $.025 per share and with expiration dates on their respective five-year anniversaries to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and related interpretations. The fair value of these option grants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend 19 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) yield of 0%; expected volatility ranging from 102% to 116%; risk-free interest rate ranging from 2.53% to 3.96% and an expected holding period of five years. In connection with these options, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $205,875 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for option-based arrangements with employees of $637,065 related to stock options granted to employees in fiscal 2007. At March 31, 2008, there was approximately $449,000 or total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested option-based compensation of $424,710 related to stock options granted in fiscal 2007, which is being amortized over the remaining service period.

In March 2008, the Company granted Richard Hersh, its Chairman, a warrant to purchase 9,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share that expires five years from its grant date valued at $73,560. In November 2007, the Company granted common stock options to Frank P. Reilly and Richard Hersh, its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, respectively, that provided each of them with the right to purchase 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of My Driver Seat, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for $0.001 per share and to make such options fully vested upon their issuance and expire on the five-year anniversary of their issuance. No value was recorded for these options since no value could be attributed to My Driver Seat, Inc. since it is not publicly traded and, as of the date the option was granted, had no assets or liabilities. In November 2007, the Company granted Frank P. Reilly, its Chief Executive Officer, an option to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.025 per share that expires five years from its grant date valued at $132,315 as an incentive to Mr. Reilly for assuming the positions of Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company. In September 2006, Richard Hersh resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and entered into a separation and severance agreement in which he agreed to the cancellation of all his outstanding options, including options to purchase an aggregate of 6,182,642 shares of the Company's common stock exercisable at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.38 per share and an option to purchase 10% of the common stock of the Company's subsidiary Commodity Express Transportation, Inc. for $60,000, to forgive a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $115,000 and accrued interest of $32,241, to forego $313,201 in accrued compensation, and to settle any other claims with, or obligations by, the Company, in consideration for $20,000 and a warrant to 22 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) purchase 11,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.025 per share that expires in five years. In addition, Mr. Hersh entered into a consulting agreement with the Company that has a term of five years and a monthly consulting fee of $10,000.

In June 2007, Mr. Brooks resigned as an officer and a director of the Company and its subsidiaries and entered into a consulting agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company agreed to compensate him an aggregate of $75,000 which only would be payable if certain funding was obtained by the Company. As of March 31, 2008, accrued salary recorded for Mr. Brooks was $73,750. The option granted to Mr. Brooks in August 2006 expired unexercised in July 2007. In September 2006, the Company's Board of Directors elected S. Kevin Yates Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Yates entered into an employment agreement with the Company having a term of two years with one-year renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party prior thereto. Mr. Yates' annual base salary of $150,000 may be deferred until the Company has raised an aggregate of $3,000,000 and he received an option to purchase 9,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.025 per share that expires in five years. In June 2007, Mr. Yates resigned as an officer and a director of the Company and its subsidiaries and entered into a consulting agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company agreed to compensate him an aggregate of $75,000 which only would be payable if certain funding was obtained by the Company.

In September 2006, the Company terminated its employment agreement with Michael Darden, its former President. Thereafter, Mr. Darden resigned as a Director of the Company and its subsidiaries. In October 2006, Mr. Darden filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida naming as defendant Freight Rate, Inc., d/b/a Power2Ship, Inc. and alleging breach of his employment agreement. Pursuant to a mediation held in May 2007, the litigation between former employee Darden and the Company was amicably settled. The case has been dismissed and all allegations of wrongdoing by Darden as set forth in the Company's previous filings and counterclaim have been withdrawn. The parties provided each other with mutual releases of all claims with the exception of the agreed upon payments totaling $65,000 the Company agreed to pay Mr. Darden in three installments within 90 days of the mediation agreement. In addition to the aforementioned payments, the Company forgave $50,000 in accounts receivable from Mr. Darden that was recorded as a reduction to other receivables and wrote off $92,726 in accrued salary to Mr. Darden that was recorded as other income during fiscal year 2007. 23 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) In August 2006, prior to joining the Company as executive officers and employees, David S. Brooks and Kevin Yates, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, entered into a consulting agreement to provide the Company with business advisory services including strategic evaluation, planning and advice, fund-raising support, sales and marketing support, contract negotiation and business development. The term of the agreement was 12 months with an optional six-month extension. Subject to the successful completion of various financing activities the Company is pursuing, the Company agreed to pay each of them a fee of $100,000. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Since April 1, 2008, the Company: - released 10,000 shares of its Series I preferred stock, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of common stock, to one investor from an escrow account as required under the terms of a $1,250,000 16% secured promissory note issued to the investor in May 2007 and recorded $75,000 of interest expense; - entered into an agreement with Rentar Environmental Solutions, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation ("Rentar") and Rentar Logic, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RLI") formed in May 2008 by Rentar, pursuant to which it granted RLI a global perpetual license for its intellectual properties and agreed to sell RLI its intellectual properties for $3,000,000 and 49% of RLI's issued and outstanding shares. In addition, Rentar agreed to contribute $18,000 per month to RLI to pay expenses of the Company's information technology department, provide office space for some of the Company's personnel and place 600,000 shares of its common stock valued at $3,000,000 in escrow as security for payment of the $3,000,000 purchase price. These escrowed shares are to be released to Rentar as RLI pays the $3,000,000 purchase price for the intellectual properties. As of the date of this Report, the Company had received $618,839 of the purchase price. - terminated its merger with State Petroleum Distributors, Inc. due to the transaction not closing by December 31, 2007 which enabled the Company to enter into the Rentar agreement; - repaid $200,000 of 16% secured promissory notes and accrued interest thereon that was past due to one investor by having shares of Rentar common stock valued at $200,000 from the purchase price for the Company's intellectual properties issued by Rentar to the investor, paying accrued interest of $16,658 and issuing the investor a 16% promissory note for $8,241 due in July 2008. - repaid $300,000 of 16% secured promissory notes that was past due to one investor by having shares of Rentar common stock valued at $250,000 from the purchase price for the Company's intellectual properties issued by Rentar to the investor and issuing the investor a 16% promissory note for $50,000 due in July 2008 that replaced $50,000 of 16% secured promissory notes that was past due. In addition, the Company issued the investor 3,000,000 shares of its common stock and granted the investor a three-year warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of its common stock for $0.02 per share in connection with the new note and recognized a debt discount of $50,000 to be amortized over the term 24 NUSTATE ENERGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) of the new note. The new $50,000 promissory note may be converted into common stock at a 50% discount to the 10-day average closing price of the common stock with a minimum conversion price of $0.015 per share. If not repaid in full by its maturity date, the note is to incur late payment fees of 200,000 shares of common stock on the monthly anniversary of the maturity date as long as the note has not been repaid in full. The Company agreed to pay the balance of $23,112 in accrued interest due on the $350,000 16% secured promissory note outstanding as of the date of the settlement by May 31, 2008 and, if not paid by that date, interest would commence accruing at 16% per annum and would incur late payment fees of 200,000 shares of common stock at the end of each month until the accrued interest is paid in full. Also, the Company issued the investor 1,500,000 shares valued at $27,000 to repurchase previously issued warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares at $0.025 per share. - amended a $50,000 16% secured promissory note to extend its maturity date to June 30, 2008, reduce its conversion price from approximately $0.031 to $0.01 per share and eliminated the late payment fee provision in order to facilitate the sale of the note from one of the Company's investors to another investor. This reduced conversion price resulted in a beneficial conversion provision of $105,000 that will be recorded as interest expense during the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. - extended by three years the expiration dates of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 583,333 shares of common stock for $0.025 per share previously issued to one investor valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at $4,012 that was recorded as interest expense. - issued one million shares of its common stock valued to one investor as a late payment fee and recorded $19,000 of interest expense - borrowed $10,000 from one investor - issued one investor a 16% unsecured promissory note due on July 17, 2008 for $8,241 - paid five lenders accrued interest of $50,957 - terminated its $3,000,000 revolving line of credit with Branch Banking and Trust Company and paid off the outstanding balance on the line of $1,422,114 - became a member of Transport Clearings East, Inc. (TCE) and sold TCE $1,564,273 of our accounts receivable of which $114,536 was held by TCE as a reserve for uncollectible receivables. The membership contract enables the Company to sell TCE its eligible accounts receivable for a service charge of 1.64% of their face value. During the first six months, such sales are with recourse to the Company and thereafter such sales become non-recourse. At the end of each year, the Company and other TCE members may be entitled to receive a dividend as may be declared by the Board of Governors of TCE. 25 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this report. Critical Accounting Policies Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the SEC, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere herein includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the reported revenue streams of our company: Freight transportation revenue consists of the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. We recognize freight transportation revenue when shipments of goods reach their destinations and the receiver of the goods acknowledges their receipt by signing a bill of lading which for the vast majority of the Company's shipments occurs on the same day as the goods are picked up. At that time, our obligations to the customer are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent", establishes the criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. When we provide these freight transportation services, we are the primary obligor, we are a principal to the transaction not an agent, we have the risk of loss for collection, we have discretion to select the supplier when we do not supply the services and we have latitude in pricing decisions. Other revenue, generated from providing various services including software development, system integration, consulting, training, implementation and access to our proprietary software applications, generally is recognized in the month that such services are provided to customers. However, in those instances when we provide equipment to customers, in conjunction with providing any of the aforementioned services, on any basis in which ownership is retained by our company, then we recognize the revenue generated from such equipment ratably over the term of the agreement providing for the use of such equipment. Also, in some cases, revenue generated pursuant to software development contracts with customers may be recognized on the percentage of completion basis for each deliverable in the contract. Other revenue is expected to remain less than 10% of total revenue in the foreseeable future. Effective March 31, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting 26 standards for stock-based compensation plans. As required by SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the financial statements. Based on the guidance in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", we evaluate long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment at each balance sheet date. Among the factors considered in such evaluations is the occurrence of a significant event, a significant change in the environment in which the business assets operate, or if the expected future undiscounted cash flows are determined to be less than the carrying value of the assets. If impairment is deemed to exist, an impairment charge would be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Management also evaluates events and circumstances to determine whether revised estimates of useful lives are warranted. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2008, management expected its long-lived assets to be fully recoverable. OVERVIEW In April 2008 we entered into an agreement with Rentar Environmental Solutions, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation ("Rentar") and a Delaware corporation being formed by Rentar ("RLI"), pursuant to which we granted RLI a global perpetual license for our intellectual properties and agreed to sell RLI our intellectual properties for $3,000,000 and 49% of RLI's issued and outstanding shares. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, virtually all of our revenue was generated by providing freight transportation services. This revenue includes the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. In some instances, our freight transportation services are provided to our customers using our own transportation equipment, referred to as asset-based services. In other instances, our freight transportation services are provided to our customers using the transportation equipment of independent truck owner-operators under contract with CXT as well as by numerous unaffiliated trucking companies located throughout the United States arranged by CXT's freight transportation brokerage, referred to as non-asset based services. We are a principal in the transaction to transport the freight. By accepting our customer's order, we accept certain responsibilities for transportation of the load from its origin to its destination. In instances when we arrange for transportation of the load by an unaffiliated independent carrier, the carrier's contract is with our company, not our shipper customer, and we are responsible for prompt payment of carrier charges but are not responsible to our shipper customer for any claims for damage to freight while in transit. The price we charge for these freight transportation services depends largely upon the prices charged by our competitors as well as upon several factors, including the distance the freight is being transported, the type of transportation equipment required to move the freight, the distance that equipment is from the origin of the freight and whether or not that equipment is available in our fleet, the value of the freight and the availability of loads near the locations where the freight is to be delivered. To a far lesser extent, we have generated revenues from providing various services including software development, system integration, consulting, 27 training, implementation and access to our proprietary software applications. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, less than 1% of our total revenue was attributable to revenue from providing these other services. While we market these services to our existing and potential customer base, we cannot predict if we will report significant other revenue in any future periods. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, revenue generated from two customers represented approximately 72.6% of our freight transportation revenue. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, revenue generated from one of these same customers represented approximately 63% of our freight transportation revenue. Because our agreement with these customers can be terminated upon a 30 days notice to us, our dependence on revenues from these customers puts us at risk until such time, if ever, that we can diversify our revenue base. In order to lessen the risks to us from this dependence on two customers, we are marketing our services to the maximum extent permitted by our limited sales and marketing budget. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, our greatest challenge is expected to continue to be raising sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations, repay past due debts and repay other debts as they become due. As of May 6, 2008, our past due debt consisted of $572,500 of our 14.25% secured convertible debentures, $1,698,850 of our 16% secured promissory notes, and $175,000 principal amount of 8% unsecured convertible promissory notes. If we are unable to secure additional capital as needed, then we may be unable to satisfy this secured and unsecured debt which could adversely affect our ability to continue our operations as presently conducted. In the event we were unable to satisfy these obligations, then the holders could seek to foreclose on our primary assets. If the holders were successful, we would be unable to conduct our business as it is presently conducted and our ability to generate revenue and fund our ongoing operations would be materially adversely affected. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 compared to the Nine months ended March 31, 2007 Revenue Total revenue generated during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $3,295,101 or approximately 20.3% compared with total revenue generated during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in revenue was attributed to: - CXT achieving an increase of $3,325,556 or approximately 20.6% in freight transportation revenue, including third party logistics services. Most of the increase by CXT was due to becoming the dedicated transportation provider for a major corrugated box manufacturing plant in South Carolina commencing in October 2007. - the Company's technology operations increasing by $58,136 from $6,965 during the comparable period in fiscal year 2007 as it began generating service fees from 15 customers using 100 of its GPS devices and receiving a monthly application service fee from Averitt Express; - Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. decreasing by $88,591 or 100% as it ceased operations prior to the current fiscal year. We anticipate that total revenue from our existing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 will increase by approximately 20% to 25% compared with the same period during fiscal year 2007. Most of this revenue growth is 28 expected to be attributed primarily to freight transportation revenue from CXT's corrugated box manufacturing customer which is estimated to provide approximately $1.5 million in revenue during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. In addition, we expect to increase revenue in fiscal year 2008 by providing logistics consulting and implementation services related to our telematics solutions that provide critical, real-time information. For example, we developed a web-based, central repository of transportation information for Averitt Express providing each of Averitt's four operational units with visibility into the future availability of the transportation assets from all operational units in order to maximize asset utilization. Lastly, we are pursuing opportunities to generate revenue in fiscal year 2008 from: - Customers utilizing My Driver Seat, a proprietary software application launched in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 that provides fleet operators with a fuel management tool capable of validating the effectiveness of any fuel efficiency or emission reduction technology. Further, it provides clear and concise reports easily tailored to user requirements including such real time data as speed, idling time, and out-of-route vehicles, etc., that fleet managers can use to modify poor driver habits and dramatically increase overall fleet efficiency. - Acquiring logistics and transportation services companies, subject to the availability of sufficient financing. No such transactions have been entered into as of the filing of this report and no assurances can be given that any such transactions ever will be entered into in the future. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $2,249,534 or approximately 11.8% compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The higher operating expenses were due to an increase of $2,970,720 or approximately 20% in freight transportation expenses that partially was offset by a decrease of $721,186 or approximately 16.9% in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in freight transportation expenses, direct costs associated with transporting freight either with our own trucks or through non-affiliated trucking companies hired to move loads for shipper customers and providing other third party logistics services, compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007 consisted of an increase of $3,045,890 or approximately 20.6% by CXT associated with its increase in revenue that partially was offset by a decrease of $75,170 by Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. due to it having ceased operations in 2006. Management anticipates that freight transportation expenses during the remainder of fiscal year 2008 to increase by approximately the same percentage as the growth in revenue during this period as CXT expects to maintain its gross margin. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from a decline of $599,859 or approximately 21.7% in salaries, benefits and consulting fees and a decrease of $121,327 or approximately 8.1% in other selling, general and administrative expenses compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decline in salaries, benefits and consulting fees consisted primarily of a $327,825 or 16.1% decrease in salaries and benefits and a $272,034 or approximately 37.4% in consulting expenses. The primarily contributor to these decreases a $305,668 or 22.1% decrease in salaries and 29 benefits and $272,034 or 37.4% decrease in consulting expenses by the Company's Florida-based corporate operations compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007. These declines were attributed to the Company's continued efforts to reduce overhead expenses in light of its limited capital resources. Management expects salaries and consulting expenses for existing operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2008 to be comparable to those incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decline in other selling, general and administrative expenses was comprised of: - decreases by the Company's corporate operations of $212,311 or approximately 30.9% and Power2Ship Intermodal, Inc. which decreased by $15,384 that partially were offset by - CXT which had an increase of $106,368 or approximately 13.4% and The following expenses contributed at least 10% of the $212,311 decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses by the Company's corporate operations: - $67,422 or approximately 62.5% in legal fees primarily due to a decrease in the number and complexity of legal matters addressed during the period; and - $67,129 or approximately 55.6% in rent and utilities as a result of moving to a much smaller facility in December 2007; - $43,710 or approximately 64.8% in travel, meals and entertainment as the Company's continued efforts to reduce overhead expenses in light of its limited capital resources; and - $45,443 or 100% in amortization of intellectual property and license rights as the amortization periods for these intangible assets expired prior to fiscal year 2008. There was a combination of expense increases and decreases that resulted in the $106,368 increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses by CXT. The most significant expense increases contributing to the increase included: - $71,996 or approximately 151.2% in depreciation expense primarily due to the purchase of 12 used tractors and 275 trailer tracking devices assets; - $77,954 or approximately 77.9% in expenses incurred by the Chattanooga, Tennessee facility due to increased business by customers served from this facility and - $29,013 or approximately 124.6% in security expense due to customers utilizing CXT's Chattanooga, Tennessee facility for short-term storage of their products that required additional security These expense increases partially were offset by the following expense decreases: 30 - $48,227 or approximately 28.9% in corporate allocations - 30,442 or approximately 100% in income tax expenses and - $27,200 or approximately 24.3% in safety and recruiting expenses. Management expects other selling, general and administrative expenses for existing operations during the remainder of fiscal year 2008 to be comparable to the amount incurred during the first nine months of fiscal year 2008. Other Income and Expenses Total other expenses increased by $1,198,899 or approximately 78.8% during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase primarily was due to an increase in interest expense, net of the remaining balance of debt discounts, of $1,227,552 or approximately 85.4%. The increase in interest expense primarily consisted of increases of: - $703,397 from the assignment of Series B secured convertible debentures as additional consideration to five investors that invested an aggregate of $2,000,000 in the Company's 16% secured promissory notes; - $454,789 from the payments that were made in full satisfaction of all obligations to the holder of $1,750,000 of its Series B 5% secured convertible debentures and $110,000 of its 14.25% secured convertible debentures; - $200,000 from the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of common stock to one investor upon entering into a settlement agreement with them related to a $200,000 14.25% secured convertible debenture and accrued interest thereon that was due June 30, 2007; - $140,000 from the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to one investor in conjunction with a $125,000 loan; - $140,361 due to the reduction in the conversion price upon the conversions of $112,000 of the Company's 14.25% convertible notes payable and $18,958 of accrued interest thereon by six investors into approximately 27 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock; and - $70,000 upon the release from an escrow account of 10,000 shares of the Company's Series I preferred stock, convertible into 5,000,000 shares of common stock, to one investor as required under the terms of a $1,250,000 16% secured promissory note issued to the investor in May 2007. These increases in interest expense partially were offset by decreases of approximately $694,000 in amortization of discounts on notes payable and deferred financing costs, recorded as interest expense, primarily due to accelerating the amortization of the discounts on notes payable upon the conversions of $575,000 of the Company's Series D 8% unsecured convertible debentures during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Management expects other expenses during the remainder of fiscal year 2008 to be substantially lower than during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 primarily since the assignment of Series B secured convertible debentures ceased in July 2007 upon the settlement with the original holder of these debentures. However, if outstanding debt is re-structured or replaced with other debt, then 31 interest expense could increase as a result of costs incurred in such lending arrangements that may include higher interest rates, penalties and other transaction fees. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and our independent auditors' report on our consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2007 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $36,095,185, a stockholders' deficit of $3,583,092, and our net cash from operations was negative $1,405,683 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 leaving us with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $17,571 at the end of the period. The Company's working capital deficit increased by $1,033,195 or approximately 21.6% to $5,816,893 at March 31, 2008 from $4,783,698 at June 30, 2007. This higher deficit was attributed to current assets decreasing by $377,475 or approximately 10.6%, while current liabilities increased by $655,720 or approximately 7.9%. The largest contributors to the decrease in current assets were a decrease of $1,092,403 in restricted cash due to $1,100,000 held in an escrow account on June 30, 2007 being used as part of the settlement payment to one of our debenture holders in July 2007 that partially was offset by an increase of $697,997 in accounts receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, due to CXT financing accounts receivables from its largest customer with its revolving line of credit rather than the relying on the higher cost prompt payment program offered by this customer. The increase in current liabilities resulted from our: - Revolving line of credit increasing by $1,336,801 or 175.5% due to CXT financing accounts receivables from its largest customer with its revolving line of credit rather than the relying on the higher cost prompt payment program offered by this customer; - Accounts payable and accrued expenses increasing by $189,064 approximately 6.7%; and - Short term notes payable increasing by $288,151 that partially were offset by our: - Convertible notes payable and loans payable decreasing by $1,158,308 or approximately 37.6%. The $26,585 decrease in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents from June 30, 2007 to March 31, 2008 resulted from $1,405,683 used in operating activities and $386,252 used in investing activities that more than offset the $1,765,350 provided by financing activities. The $1,405,683 used in operating activities was $185,175 or approximately 15.2% more than used during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and consisted of: - a net loss of $4,540,064, an increase of $153,332 or approximately 3.5% compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007; and 32 - $370,979 related to changes in operating assets and liabilities, an increase of $938,439 or approximately 165.4% compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007; that partially were offset by: - $3,505,360 in non-cash expenses, an increase of $906,596 or approximately 34.9% compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2007 that consisted of: o $568,609 in depreciation and amortization of software development costs, intangible assets, deferred compensation, deferred financing costs and discounts on notes payable; o $1,687,861 from the issuances of our common stock, options and warrants as payment for services, interest and debt settlement; o $1,203,117 in interest expense recorded upon the conversion of notes payable and the assignment of convertible debentures; and o $45,773 net loss on settlement of debt and loss on asset disposal. - $1,765,350 provided by financing activities was $352,557 or approximately 25% greater than was provided during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and consisted of: - $2,490,000 in proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes and notes payable; and - $1,247,442 in net proceeds from the Company's revolving line of credit; that partially was offset by: - $1,972,092 in repayments of convertible promissory notes, loans payable and notes payable; - $386,252 used in investing activities, an increase of $131,672 or approximately 51.7% compared the nine months ended March 31, 2007 that consisted of: - $144,677 in purchases of property and equipment primarily due to the purchase of 275 trailer tracking devices for CXT; and - $241,575 in capitalized costs of software development. We estimate that our cash on hand on May 15, 2008 and monthly proceeds received from Rentar and our trucking operation will fund our operating activities, excluding funds required for the repayment of debt and certain accounts payable. This estimate is based on our cash and cash equivalents of $17,571 at March 31, 2008, $178,839 received from April 1, 2008 to May 15, 2008, $18,000 per month per our agreement with Rentar and an unspecified monthly amount of inter-company payments from our trucking operations. The monthly payment from our trucking operations is based on its cash flow which has been increasing over the past six months due to higher sales, lower operating costs as our technology is being implemented in its truck fleet and lower overhead expenses resulting from various personnel changes. However, this positive working capital is not sufficient to pay all of our debt and accounts payable. If we are unable to obtain additional capital to satisfy these liabilities, many of which are past due, we may be required to curtail or discontinue some or all of our business and operations. 33 The future capital requirements for our existing operations depend primarily on the rate at which we can increase our cash flow from operations which will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services, the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market, and our ability to attract key personnel as we grow. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations and for future acquisitions or for the integration and expansion of existing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to continue our existing operations and to continue to implement our growth and acquisition strategy could suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms which will have the effect of adversely affecting our ongoing operations and limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future. If we are unable to raise sufficient working capital as needed, our ability to continue our business and operations will be in jeopardy. As of May 15, 2008, all of our assets served as collateral for $801,319 of our 14.25% secured convertible debentures, $572,500 of which were past due, and certain of our assets, excluding those held by Fittipaldi Carriers, Inc. and its subsidiaries, served as collateral for $2,047,451 of our 16% secured promissory notes of which $797,451 is past due, and $201,397 of our Series B secured convertible debentures, as amended, all of which is past due. If we default on our obligations under any of these securities, including, but not limited to, the payment of interest when due, then the debenture holders could foreclose on our assets and we would be unable to continue our business and operations.
