ABLE ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Able Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable for interim financial information. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2008. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Able Energy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Able Oil Company Inc. (“Able Oil”), Able Energy New York, Inc. (“Able NY”), Able Oil Melbourne, Inc. (inactive, as of February 8, 2008), (“Able Melbourne”), Able Energy Terminal LLC, PriceEnergy.com Franchising LLC (inactive), Able Propane, LLC (inactive), and its majority owned (67.3%) subsidiary, PriceEnergy.com, Inc. (“PriceEnergy”) and All American Plazas, Inc. (“Plazas”).  Able, together with its operating subsidiaries, are hereby also referred to as the “Company”. Financial results are considered to be of an immaterial nature as of September 30, 2007 as they relate to the minority interest portion and therefore are not disclosed. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Since the Company’s business combination with All American Plazas, Inc. (now known as All American Properties, Inc.) on May 30, 2007, the Company is engaged in two primary business activities, organized in two segments; the Oil Segment and the Travel Plaza Segment.

The Company’s Oil Segment, consisting of Able Oil, Able NY, Able Melbourne, Able Energy Terminal, LLC and PriceEnergy, is engaged in the retail distribution of, and the provision of services relating to, #2 home heating oil, propane gas, kerosene and diesel fuels. In addition to selling liquid energy products, the Company offers complete heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) installation and repair and other services and also markets other petroleum products to commercial customers, including on-road and off-road diesel fuel, gasoline and lubricants.  Please refer to Note 18 - Subsequent Events, for disclosure relating to the February 8, 2008 sale of the Able Melbourne assets and liabilities; and the July 22, 2008 sale of 49% of the common stock of Able NY and the Company’s Easton and Horsham, Pennsylvania operations (“Able PA”) and the subsequent rights granted to the Company on October 31, 2008 to repurchase those shares of stock in Able NY and the interest in Able PA.

The Company’s Travel Plaza Segment, operated by Plazas, is engaged in the retail sale of food, merchandise, fuel, personal services, onsite and mobile vehicle repair, services and maintenance to both the professional and leisure driver through a current network of ten travel plazas, located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Virginia.

Note 2 - Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Managements Plans

The Company has incurred losses from continuing operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 of approximately, $4.3 million resulting in an accumulated deficit balance of approximately $22.0 million as of September 30, 2007.  Net cash provided by operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, was approximately $0.8 million.  The Company had a working capital deficiency of $7.1 million.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On May 30, 2007, the Company completed a business combination with All American Plazas, Inc. now known as All American Properties, Inc. (“Properties”) (See Note 16).  The Company is pursuing sales initiatives, cost savings and credit benefits as contemplated in the business combination including consolidation of business operations where management of the Company deems appropriate for the combined entity. In order to conserve its capital resources and to provide incentives for the Company’s employees and other service vendors, the Company expects to continue to issue, from time to time, common stock and stock options to compensate employees and non-employees for services rendered. The Company is focusing on expanding its distribution programs and new customer relationships to increase demand for its products. In addition, the Company is pursuing other lines of business, which include expansion of its current commercial business into other products and services such as solar energy and other energy related home services. The Company is also evaluating, on a combined basis, all of its product lines for cost reductions, consolidation of facilities and efficiency improvements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in achieving its operational improvements which would enhance its liquidity situation.

The Company has been funding its operations through an asset-based line of credit and other financing facilities.

Through the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company has issued notes receivable and loans to other affiliates and to Properties, its largest stockholder, with a balance at September 30, 2007 of approximately $2.7 million, including accrued interest of approximately $0.3 million.  The Company has granted Properties a series of extensions of the maturity of these obligations.  These obligations are recorded as contra equity within these condensed consolidated financial statements.  Included in the balance for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, Properties has offset $0.5 million in rents payable due from the Travel Plaza Segment to Properties.
 
6


During June 2007, The Company paid $8.4 of fuel invoices due by Properties on behalf of Properties during the transition of the business combination.  This resulted in an advance to related parties under current assets. As a result of the Company paying these invoices Properties assumed accounts payable for the Company in October 2007 while finalizing aspects of the business combination (see Note 16)

The Company will require some combination of the collection of Properties notes receivable, new financing, restructuring of existing financing, improved receivable collections and/or improved operating results in order to maintain adequate liquidity over the course of the year ending June 30, 2008.   The Company must also bring current each of its Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings as part of a plan to raise additional capital.  In addition to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company must also complete and file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

There can be no assurance that the financing or the cost saving measures as identified above will be satisfactory in addressing the short-term liquidity needs of the Company.  In the event that these plans cannot be effectively realized, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to Significant Accounting Policies since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007

Note 4 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of July 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The application of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, "Fair Value Measurements", which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in United States generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS 157 is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, and the Company will adopt SFAS 157 in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008.
 
In September 2006, the staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB No.’s 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).”  SFAS 158 requires an employer and sponsors of one or more single employer defined plans to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan; recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gain or losses and prior service costs or credits that may arise during the period; measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the employer’s fiscal year; and enhance footnote disclosure.  For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, employers with equity securities that trade on a public market are required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the enhanced footnote disclosures.  For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, employers are required to measure plan assets and benefit obligations.  Management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 00-19-2 "Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements" ("FSP EITF 00-19-2") which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 was required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
7

 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115", which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The application of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 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 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R).  SFAS 141R establishes 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 for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.   The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The new standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be 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 (the GAAP hierarchy).  SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s 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.  Adoption of SFAS No. 162, upon its effectiveness, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 5 - Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options, warrants, and convertible debentures and notes payable as further discussed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The total common shares available for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, and conversion of convertible debentures and note payable excluded from comparative diluted loss per share was 7,102,524 and 6,760,346 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Additionally, in accordance with EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Convertible Debentures issued on July 12, 2005, July 5, 2006 and August 8, 2006 were considered to have a beneficial conversion premium feature. The Company recorded a debt discount of $5,500,000 related to this conversion premium and warrants issued in connection with the financing.  The Company amortized $343,734 and $195,909 of debt discount for the three months ending September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Note 10 - Line Of Credit

On May 13, 2005, the Company entered into a $1,750,000 line-of-credit agreement (the “Agreement”) with Entrepreneur Growth Capital, LLC (“EGC”). The loan is secured by certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets as defined in the agreement. The line bears interest at Citibank's prime rate, plus 4% per annum (11.25% at September 30, 2007 and 12.25% at June 30, 2007, respectively) not to exceed 24%, with a minimum interest of $9,000 per month. The line also requires an annual facility fee and monthly collateral management fees equal to 2% and 0.025%, respectively. In addition, deposits are not credited to our account until four business days after receipt by EGC.  The balance due as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $329,321 and $481,602, respectively, with an available balance as of September 30, 2007 of $1,420,679.  The Agreement renews annually unless terminated by either party, as provided for in the Agreement.

Note 11 - Notes Payable

On May 13, 2005, the Company entered into a term loan with Northfield Savings Bank for $3,250,000.  Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of approximately $21,400, commencing on July 1, 2005.  The note is secured by Company owned real property located in Rockaway, New Jersey with a net book value of $866,495 at September 30, 2007 and an assignment of leases and rents at such location. The initial interest rate is 6.25% per annum on the unpaid principal balance for the first five (5) years, to be redetermined every fifth anniversary date (reset date) at 300 basis points over the five (5) year United States Treasury rate, but not lower than the initial rate; at that time the monthly payment will be redetermined. The interest rate on default is 4% per annum, charged at the bank’s option, above the interest rate then in effect.  At the maturity date of June 1, 2030, all amounts owed are due and payable. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in default of two non-financial covenants under the agreement.  The Company has received a waiver covering all periods in each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2008 and 2007.  The balance outstanding on this note at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $3,119,577 and $3,134,991, respectively.

On December 13, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year note agreement relating to the purchase of the Horsham Franchise in the amount of $345,615.  The interest rate is 7.0% per annum and principal and interest is payable in monthly installments of $6,844 which commenced on January 13, 2007. The balance due on this note at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $301,140 and $316,225, respectively.

On January 8, 2007, Plazas entered into an Account Purchase Agreement with Crown Financial (“Crown”) whereby Crown advanced $1,444,775 to Plazas in exchange for certain existing accounts receivables and taking ownership of new accounts originated by Plazas.  Repayment of the loan is to be made from the direct payments to Crown from the accounts it purchased from Plazas and a fee equal to 2.5% of the outstanding advance for the preceding period payable on the 15th and 30th day of each month.  The Crown loan is secured by the mortgages on the real property and improvements thereon owned by Properties known as the Strattanville and Frystown Gables truck stop plazas and a personal guarantee by Frank Nocito an Executive Vice President of the company and through a family trust the largest shareholder of the Company.  Subsequent to the May 2007 closing of the business combination between the Company and Properties, on July 1, 2007 the Account Purchase Agreement between Plazas and Crown Financial was amended and modified from “Eligible Accounts having a 60 day aging” to a “90 day aging that are not reasonably deemed to be doubtful for collections” and the fee of 2.5% payable on the 15th and 30th day of each month has been modified to 1.375%. The Company has assumed this obligation based on the business combination; however, Properties has agreed to continue to secure this financing with the aforementioned mortgages on real property owned by Properties. The balance due on the Crown note at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $1,324,775.

The Company has similar credit card financing agreements for the Oil Segment and the Travel Plaza Segment as explained below respectively.

On March 20, 2007, the Company’s Oil Segment entered into a credit card receivable advance agreement with Credit Cash, LLC (“Credit Cash”) whereby Credit Cash agreed to loan the Company $1,200,000. The loan is secured by the Company's existing and future credit card collections.  Terms of the loan call for a repayment of $1,284,000, which includes the one-time finance charge of $84,000, over a seven-month period. This will be accomplished through Credit Cash withholding 18% of credit card collections of Able Oil Company and 10% of credit card collections of PriceEnergy.com, Inc. over the seven-month period which began on March 21, 2007. There are certain provisions in the agreement which allows Credit Cash to increase the withholding, if the amount withheld by Credit Cash over the seven-month period is not sufficient to satisfy the required repayment of $1,284,000. The balance due on this note at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $705,831 and $493,521, respectively (see Note 18).

Prior to the business combination between Properties and the Company, Properties entered into a loan agreement with Credit Cash, which was an advance against credit card receivables at the travel plazas then operated by Properties.  As a result of the business combination, this obligation was assumed by the Company’s newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Plazas, as it became the operator of the travel plazas. Credit Cash, while acknowledging the business combination, has continued to obligate both Properties and Plazas in their loan documents as obligors of the loan. On August 31, 2006, Plazas entered into a loan agreement with EGC/Credit Cash, relating to the processing of its credit card transactions, in the initial amount of $1,000,000.  The interest rate is prime plus 3.75%. On July 16, 2007, Credit Cash agreed to extend further credit of $400,000 secured by the credit card receivables at the travel plazas operated by Plazas.  This July 16, 2007 extension of credit agreement was in addition to and supplemented all previous agreements with Credit Cash. Terms of the original loan and extensions called for repayment of $1,010,933 plus accrued interest which will be repaid through Credit Cash withholding 15% of credit card collections from the operations of the truck stop plazas until the loan balance is paid in full. The interest rate is prime plus 3.75% (12% at September 30, 2007). There are certain provisions in the agreement, which allows Credit Cash to increase the withholding, if the amount it is withholding is not sufficient to satisfy the loan in a timely manner. This repayment percentage was increased to 20% in April 2008 due to suspension of diesel sales in several locations due to pricing and cash flow issues.  The 20% was renegotiated in August 2008 down to 12%.  The outstanding balance of the loan as of September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007 was $620,493 and $1,160,235, respectively (see Note 18).

In addition, the Company has entered into miscellaneous loan agreements with outstanding balances totaling $442,676, as of September 30, 2007.

The Oil Segment leases expire at various dates through May, 2010 while ten of the eleven Travel Plaza Segment leases expire on September 30, 2009 and one with two separate leases each expiring on January 1, 2011 and February 28, 2009.  The lease expiring in 2009 has five year renewable options through 2028.  Rent expense was $1,846,419 for the period ended September 30, 2007.  The ten Travel Plaza Segment leases that expire on September 30, 2009 automatically renew for consecutive one year terms for up to ten years from the initial lease, upon the mutual consent of both parties.  Properties has waived the percentage rent amounts and percentage increase in the base lease amount. The base amount of the leases will remain fixed at the initial year amount unless both parties agree to an increase or decrease in the base amount.  It is anticipated that the leases will be renewed for annual periods through at least June 30, 2017. The Company also acquired a ten year option to acquire any of the travel plaza real estate owned by Properties, providing that the Company assume all existing debt obligations related to the applicable properties.  The option has been valued at $5.0 million and is exercisable as long as the Plaza’s leases relating to the applicable real estate remain in effect.  Please refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events, for disclosure relating to the sublease of certain of the travel plaza facilities.

Purchase Commitments

The Company’s Oil Segment is obligated to purchase #2 heating oil under various contracts with its suppliers. As of September 30, 2007 total open commitments under these contracts are approximately $5.2 million and expire on various dates through the end of August 2008.  The Company’s Travel Plaza Segment has no open commitments for purchases.

Major Vendors

The Company’s Oil Segment purchases fuel supplies on the spot market. During the period ended September 30, 2007, the Oil Segment satisfied its inventory requirements through seven different suppliers, the majority of which have significant domestic fuel sources, and many of which have been suppliers to us for over five years.

The Company’s Travel Plaza Segment is also subject to spot market pricing and its fluctuations.  It utilizes three major suppliers for its fuel source needs.

Litigation

Following an explosion and fire that occurred at the Company's facility in Newton, New Jersey on March 14, 2003, and through the subsequent clean up efforts, the Company has cooperated fully with all local, state and federal agencies in their investigations into the cause of this accident.  A lawsuit (known as Hicks vs. Able Energy, Inc.) was filed against the Company by residents who allegedly suffered property damages as a result of the March 14, 2003 explosion and fire. The Company's insurance carrier is defending the Company as it related to compensatory damages. The Company has retained separate legal counsel to defend the Company against the punitive damage claims. On June 13, 2005, the Court granted a motion certifying a plaintiff class action which is defined as "All Persons and Entities that on and after March 14, 2003, residing within a 1,000 yard radius of Able Oil Company's fuel depot facility and were damaged as a result of the March 14, 2003 explosion".  The Company sought and received Court permission to serve interrogatories to all class members and in November 2007 answers to interrogatories were received by less than 125 families and less than 15 businesses. The Company successfully moved to exclude any and all persons and entities form the class that did not previously provide answers to interrogatories. The class certification is limited to economic loss and specifically excludes claims for personal injury from the Class Certification. The Company believes that the Class claims for compensatory damages are within the available limits of its insurance. On September 13, 2006, the plaintiff’s counsel made a settlement demand of $10,000,000, which the Company believes to be excessive and the methodology upon which is fundamentally flawed. On May 7, 2008, this matter entered mediation. Mediation has not been successful, but the Company remains open to reasonable settlement discussions with the plaintiffs. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claim.

In addition to the class action, seven property owners, who were unable to reach satisfactory settlements with the Company’s insurance carrier, filed lawsuits for alleged property damages suffered as a result of the March 14, 2003 explosion and fire. Subsequently, the Company’s insurance carrier has entered into settlement agreements with four of the property owners.  The Company's insurance carrier is defending the Company as it related to the remaining three property damage claims. The Company’s counsel is defending punitive damage claims. The Company believes that compensatory damage claims are within the available limits of insurance and reserves for losses have been established, as deemed appropriate, by the insurance carrier. There were a total of 227 claims filed against the Company for property damages and 224 claims have been settled by the Company’s insurance carrier resulting in the remaining three lawsuits as described in this paragraph. The Company believes the remaining three unsettled lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or operations.

Management believes it has adequate insurance coverage to cover material legal settlements, if any, and material litigation expenses.  Management does not believe that legal accruals are required at September 30, 2007, and none have been recorded.  The Company has been involved in non-material lawsuits in the normal course of business. These matters are handled by the Company’s insurance carrier.  The Company believes that the outcome of the above mentioned legal matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 26, 2007, the Company and its affiliate, Properties (together with the Company the “Claimants”), filed a Demand for Arbitration and Statement of Claim in the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association against Manns Haggerskjold of North America, Ltd. (“Manns”), Scott Smith and Shannon Coe (collectively the “Respondents”), Arbitration Case No. 77 148 Y 00236 07 MAV. The Statement of Claim filed seeks to recover fees of $1.2 million paid to Manns to obtain financing for the Company and Properties. The Claimants commenced the Arbitration proceeding based upon the Respondents breach of the September 14, 2006 Commitment letter from Manns to Plazas that required Manns to loan Plazas $150 million. The Statement of Claim sets forth claims for breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation and lender liability. On July 23, 2007, Respondents filed their answer to the Statement of Claim substantially denying the allegations asserted therein and interposing counterclaims setting forth claims against the Company for breach of the Non-Circumvention Clause, breach of the Exclusivity Clause and unpaid expenses. Respondents also assert counterclaims for fraudulent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment. On Respondents’ counterclaim for breach of the Non-Circumvention Clause, Respondents claim damages of $6,402,500. On their counterclaim for breach of the Exclusivity Clause, Respondents claim damages of $3,693,750, plus an unspecified amount related to fees on loans exceeding $2,000,000 closed by Properties or the Company over the next five years. Respondents do not specify damages relative to their other counterclaims.

On August 7, 2007, the Claimants filed their reply to counterclaims denying all of Respondents material allegations therein. Respondents’ counterclaims were based on the false statement that the Claimants had, in fact, received the financing agreed to be provided by Manns from a third party.  The Respondents subsequently withdrew all of their counterclaims.

The parties have selected an Arbitrator and are presently engaged in discovery.  The parties have exchanged documents and the depositions of the parties have commenced and are scheduled to be concluded by the end of October, 2008.  The hearing of the parties’ claims is scheduled to commence before the Arbitrator on December 8, 2008.

On August 31, 2007, the Company was served with a second subpoena duces tecum (the “Second Subpoena”) from the SEC pursuant to the Formal Order of Investigation issued by the SEC on September 7, 2006. The Company continues to gather, review and produce documents to the SEC and is cooperating fully with the SEC in complying with the Second Subpoena. As of the date of this Report, the Company has produced and will, if required, continue to produce responsive documents and intends to continue cooperating with the SEC in connection with the investigation.  On May 13, 2008, the Company received correspondence from the SEC requesting the Company respond, in writing, to eleven questions proffered by the SEC staff.  The Company provided its responses to the eleven questions to the SEC on May 21, 2008.

On July 29 and 30, 2008, the Company’s CEO, Mr. Frost and the Company’s Executive Vice-President, Business Development, Mr. Nocito, were deposed by the SEC.  The Company has been advised by its SEC counsel, who also attended the depositions that it believes the primary focus of the investigation is for the Company to complete its outstanding, delinquent SEC filings in order to obtain filing compliance.  Please refer to Note 18 – Subsequent Events for disclosure relating to other legal proceedings involving the Company.

Note 16 - Related Party Transactions

Axis Consulting

On August 27, 2007 the Company’s subsidiary, PriceEnergy.com, Inc., entered into a service agreement with Axis Consulting Services, LLC. The agreement calls for Axis Consulting to develop marketing plan (phase 1) and manage (phase 2) “The Energy Store” (an e-commerce retail sales portal for energy products and services). During phase 1, the terms are $2,750 per month and once phase 2 commences an amount of $5,600 per month. This agreement ends on December 31, 2008.  Axis Consulting’s President (Joe Nocito) has a direct relationship as the son of the Company’s Executive Vice-President Frank Nocito.

PriceEnergy.com

As of September 30, 2007 a total of four current officers, a former officer and a related party of the Company own 32.7% of the common stock of the subsidiary, PriceEnergy.com, which was incorporated in November 1999. The Company holds the remaining shares of PriceEnergy.com.

Acquisition of Assets of Properties

At September 30, 2007, Properties owns approximately 83% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.  Approximately 85.0% of the common stock of Properties is owned by the Chelednik Family Trust, a trust established by Mr. Nocito, an officer of the Company and his wife for the benefit of their family.   The balance of the outstanding common stock of Properties is owned by a limited liability company owned by Gregory D. Frost, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Properties Financing

On July 5, 2006, the Company received $1,000,000 from Laurus in connection with the issuance of a convertible term note.  Of the proceeds received from Laurus in connection with the issuance of the convertible term note, the Company loaned $905,000 to Properties in exchange for a note receivable.  Properties used such proceeds to pay (i) certain obligations of CCI Group, Inc. (“CCIG”) and its wholly-owner subsidiary, Beach Properties Barbuda Limited (“BPBL”), which owned and operated an exclusive Caribbean resort hotel known as the Beach House located on the island of Barbuda, and (ii) a loan obligation owed by BPBL to Laurus which loan was used by CCIG to acquire the Beach House.  Properties had previously acquired a 70% interest in CCIG pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement.  The Company received from Laurus a notice of a claim of default dated January 10, 2007.  Laurus claimed default under section 4.1(a) of the Term Note as a result of non-payment of interest and fees in the amount of $8,826 that was due on January 5, 2007, and a default under sections 6.17 and 6.18 of the securities purchase agreement for “failure to use best efforts (i) to cause CCIG to provide Holder on an ongoing basis with evidence that any and all obligations in respect of accounts payable of the project operated by CCIG’s subsidiary, BPBL, have been met; and (ii) cause CCIG to provide within 15 days after the end of each calendar month, unaudited/internal financial statements (balance sheet, statements of income and cash flow) of the Beach House and evidence that BPBL and the Beach House are current in all of their ongoing operational needs”.

The aforementioned interest and fees were paid by the Company on January 11, 2007. Further, the Company has used its best efforts to cause CCIG to provide reports and information to Laurus as provided for in the securities purchase agreement.

In connection with the claim of default, Laurus claimed an acceleration of maturity of the principal amount of the Note of $1,000,000 and approximately $154,000 in default payment (“Default Payment”) as well as accrued interest and fees of approximately $12,000. On March 7, 2007, Laurus notified the Company that, it waived the event of default and that Laurus had waived the requirement for the Company to make the Default Payment.

In consideration for the loan, Properties has granted the Company an option, (the “Option") exercisable in the Company's sole discretion, to acquire 80% of the CCIG stock Properties acquired from CCIG pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement. In addition, in the event that the Company exercises the Option, 80% of the outstanding principal amount of the Properties note will be cancelled and shall be deemed fully paid and satisfied. The remaining principal balance of the Properties note and all outstanding and accrued interest on the loan shall be due and payable one year from the exercise of the Option. The Option must be exercised in whole and not in part and the Option expires on July 5, 2008. The Company did not exercise the Option prior to its expiration.  In the event the Company does not exercise the Option, the Properties note shall be due in two years, on July 6, 2008, unless the Company has issued a declaration of intent not to exercise the Option, in which case the Properties note shall be due one year from such declaration. The Company has determined, that given the lack of liquidity in the shares of CCIG and the lack of information in regard to the financial condition of CCIG, that this option has no value and has not been recorded by the Company.

The Company loaned Properties $1,730,000 as evidenced by a promissory note dated July 27, 2005. As of September 30, 2007, this note was still outstanding with an original maturity date of June 15, 2007. The interest income related to this note for the period ended September 30, 2007 was $53,112.  The note and accrued interest receivable in the amount of $1,601,099 have been classified as contra-equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the balance of this note and accrued interest has been offset by $416,937 in rents payable by Plazas to Properties pursuant to the leases for the travel plazas.

The Company receives rent from Properties for office space occupied by Properties in the Company’s New York City offices.  The Company has reduced gross rent expense included in sales, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the amount of $28,510 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The amount of $102,904 at September 30, 2007 for the accrued balance due was reduced by an offset of rents payable from Plazas to Properties pursuant to the lease for the travel plazas.

On June 1, 2005, Properties completed a financing that, may impact the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") among Properties and certain purchasers (“Purchasers”), the Purchasers loaned Properties an aggregate of $5,000,000, evidenced by Secured Debentures dated June 1, 2005 (the "Debentures"). The Debentures were due and payable on June 1, 2007, subject to the occurrence of an event of default, with interest payable at the rate per annum equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period, plus 4% payable on a quarterly basis on April 1st, July 1st, October 1st and January 1st, beginning on the first such date after the date of issuance of the Debentures.  Upon the May 30, 2007 completion of the business combination with Properties and the Company’s board approving the transfer of the debt that would also require the transfer of additional assets from Properties as consideration for the Company to assume this debt, then the Debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of the lesser of (i) the purchase price paid by us for issuance of our restricted common stock for the assets of Properties upon completion of the business combination, or (ii) $3.00, subject to further adjustment as set forth in the agreement.

The loan is secured by real estate property owned by Properties in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.  Pursuant to the Additional Investment Right (the “AIR Agreement”) among Properties and the Purchasers, the Purchasers may loan Properties up to an additional $5,000,000 of secured convertible debentures on the same terms and conditions as the initial $5,000,000 loan, except that the conversion price will be $4.00.  Pursuant to the Agreement, these Debentures are in default, as Properties did not complete the business combination with the Company prior to the expiration of the 12-month anniversary of the Agreement.

Subsequent to the consummation of the business combination, we may assume the obligations of Properties under the Agreement.  However, the Company’s board of directors must approve the assumption of this debt which requires that Properties transfer additional assets or consideration for such assumption of debt.  Based upon these criteria, it is highly unlikely the Company will assume the obligations of Properties, including the Debentures and the AIR Agreement, through the execution of a Securities Assumption, Amendment and Issuance Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Common Stock Purchase Warrant Agreement and Variable Rate Secured Convertible Debenture Agreement, each between the Purchasers and us (the “Able Energy Transaction Documents”).  Such documents provide that Properties shall cause the real estate collateral to continue to secure the loan, until the earlier of full repayment of the loan upon expiration of the Debentures or conversion by the Purchasers of the Debentures into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of the lesser of (i) the  price of the restricted common stock of Able issued to Properties for the purchase of Properties’ assets in connection with the closing of the Company’s business combination with Properties , or (ii) $3.00, (the “Conversion Price”), subject to further adjustment as set forth in the Able Energy Transaction Documents.  However, the Conversion Price with respect to the AIR Agreement shall be $4.00.  In addition, the Purchasers shall have the right to receive five-year warrants to purchase 2,500,000 of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share.  Pursuant to the Able Energy Transaction Documents, we also have an optional redemption right (which right shall be mandatory upon the occurrence of an event of default) to repurchase all of the Debentures for 125% of the face amount of the Debentures plus all accrued and outstanding interest, as well as a right to repurchase all of the Debentures in the event of the consummation of a new financing in which we sell securities at a purchase price that is below the Conversion Price.  The stockholders of Properties have agreed to escrow a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the conversion of the $5,000,000 in outstanding Debentures in full.

During the period June 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, Plazas made $8,374,496 in payments to its fuel supplier, TransMontaigne Product Services, Inc. (“TransMontaigne”) on behalf of Properties during the transition of the acquisition.  These payments were not made from any capital infusion or advance made by Plazas, but rather from revenues from the ongoing operations of the Travel Plazas. These payments were included in the advance to related party receivable balance at June 30, 2007 (See Note 18). The offset of this receivable occurred in October in conjunction with the note agreement of October 5, 2007, amended and restated on November 30, 2007.

Manns Haggerskjold of North America, Ltd. (“Manns”) Agreement

On May 19, 2006, the Company entered into a letter of interest agreement with Manns, for a bridge loan to the Company in the amount of $35,000,000 and a possible loan in the amount of $100 million based upon the business combination with Properties ("Manns Agreement"). The terms of the letter of interest provided for the payment of a commitment fee of $750,000, which was non-refundable to cover the due-diligence cost incurred by Manns. On June 23, 2006, the Company advanced to Manns $125,000 toward the Manns Agreement due diligence fee. During the period from July 7, 2006 through November 17, 2006, the Company advanced an additional $590,000 toward the Manns Agreement due diligence fee. The amount outstanding relating to these advances as of June 30, 2007 was $715,000.  As a result of not obtaining the financing (see below), the entire $715,000 was expensed to amortization of deferred financing costs in the year ended June 30, 2007.

As a result of the Company receiving a Formal Order of Private Investigation from the SEC on September 22, 2006, the Company and Manns agreed that the commitment to fund being sought under the Manns Agreement would be issued to Properties, since the Company’s stockholders had approved a business combination with Properties and since the collateral for the financing by Manns would be collateralized by real estate owned by Properties. Accordingly, on September 22, 2006, Properties agreed that in the event Manns funds a credit facility to Properties rather than the Company, upon such funds being received by Properties, it will immediately reimburse the Company for all expenses incurred and all fees paid to Manns in connection with the proposed credit facility from Manns to the Company.  On or about February 2, 2007, Properties received a term sheet from UBS Real Estate Investments, Inc. (“UBS”) requested by Manns as co-lender to Properties. Properties rejected the UBS offer as not consistent with the Manns’ commitment of September 14, 2006. Properties subsequently demanded that Manns refund all fees paid to Manns by Able and Properties. In order to enforce its rights in this regard, Properties has retained legal counsel and commenced an arbitration proceeding against Manns and its principals. The Company and Properties intend to pursue their remedies against Manns. All recoveries and fees and costs of the litigation will be allocated between the Company and Properties in proportion to the amount of the Manns due diligence fees paid

Note Receivable-Related Parties

In connection with two loans entered into by the Company in May 2005, fees in the amount of $167,500 were paid to Unison Capital Corporation (“Unison”), a company controlled by Mr. Nocito, an officer of the Company. This individual also has a related-party interest in Properties.  Subsequent to the payments being made and based on discussions with Unison, it was determined the $167,500 was an inappropriate payment and Unison agreed to reimburse this amount to the Company over a twelve month period beginning in October 2005. As of September 30, 2007 no payments were made and this note was still outstanding.  The Company extended the maturity date of the note to January 15, 2008, which was further extended to March 15, 2008.  The note has been personally guaranteed by Mr. Nocito.  The interest of $24,313 has been accrued through September 30, 2007.  This note and accrued interest was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008.

On November 7, 2007, January 18, 2008, February 14, 2008, April 11, 2008 ,August 14, 2008 and November 5, 2008, the Oil Segment of the Company and its subsidiary, PriceEnergy.com, refinanced their loans with Credit Cash, in the amounts of $1,100,000, $500,000, $500,000, $800,000 ,$500,000 and $250,000, respectively. The outstanding Credit Cash loans to the Oil Segment of the Company as of September 30, 2008, were $522,999.

Prior to the business combination between Properties and the Company, Properties entered into a loan agreement with Credit Cash, which was an advance against credit card receivables at the truck stop plazas then operated by Properties.  As a result of the business combination, this obligation was assumed by the Company’s newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Plazas as it became the operator of the truck stop plazas. Credit Cash, while acknowledging the business combination, has continued to obligate both Properties and Plazas in their loan documents as obligors of the loan. On July 16, 2007, Credit Cash agreed to extend further credit of $400,000 secured by the credit card receivables at the travel plazas operated by Plazas. This July 16, 2007 extension of credit agreement was in addition to and supplemented all previous agreements with Credit Cash. Terms of the original loan and extensions called for repayment of $1,010,933 plus accrued interest which will be repaid through Credit Cash withholding 15% of credit card collections from the operations of the travel plazas until the loan balance is paid in full. The interest rate is prime plus 3.75% (12% at September 30, 2007). There are certain provisions in the agreement which allows Credit Cash to increase the withholding, if the amount it is withholding is not sufficient to satisfy the loan in a timely manner. On November 2, 2007, January 18, 2008 and again on August 14, 2008, Credit Cash again agreed to extend an additional credit on the travel plaza receivables in the amount of $1,100,000, $600,000 and $900,000, respectively. Terms of the agreement are the same as the prior July 16, 2007 financing except the current repayment percentage is 12%.  The outstanding balance of this loan for the Travel Plaza Segment as of September 30, 2008 was $784,954

Related Party Transactions

Subsequent to September 30, 2007, related party receivables from Properties were reduced by approximately $1.8 million.  This reduction occurred from offsets of rent owed to Properties by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Plazas, in connection with its leasing of the real property underlying the travel plazas operated from October 2007 through June 2008 in the amount of approximately $0.5 million, and from cash payments made by Properties in the amount of $1.3 million resulting from refinancing and settlements by Properties in December, 2007, January, 2008 and March, 2008.

From June 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, during the post-closing period of the business combination between the Company and Properties, Plazas made $8,374,496 in payments to its fuel supplier, TransMontaigne, on behalf of Properties.  These payments were not made from any capital infusion or advances made by Plazas, but rather were generated from revenues from the ongoing operations of the Travel Plaza Segment. These payments were included in the advances to related parties balance of $8,374,496 at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007. On October 5, 2007, Plazas along with Properties entered into an agreement with TransMontaigne to provide for the continued supply of fuel for the travel plazas, to extend a credit facility of $2.0 million to Plazas to purchase fuel on a pre-paid basis and for Properties to provide certain real property as collateral for its outstanding obligation to TransMontaigne for its fuel purchases prior to the closing of the business combination. As a result of this agreement, certain outstanding trade payables owed by Plazas to TransMontaigne for fuel purchased after the closing of the business combination, as well as payments made by Plazas during that time period for obligations to TransMontaigne owed by Properties for fuel purchases prior to the closing, were reclassified as obligations of Properties. This reclassification correspondingly reduced Plazas obligations to TransMontaigne by the amount of the payments it had made to TransMontaigne during the period from June 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 on behalf of Properties referred to above. Thereafter, on November 30, 2007, the parties amended their agreement and entered into an Amended and Restated Note Agreement (the “Agreement”), which reduced Plazas’ line of credit for the purchase of fuel on a cash delivery basis to $1,550,000. This reduced line of credit was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in that amount. The Note does not accrue interest until November 15, 2009 at
 
21

 
which point, if the Note is not paid, it accrues interest at 8% per annum. In addition to Plazas’ obligation to TransMontaigne pursuant to the Note, as of November 30, 2007, Plazas owed TransMontaigne the sum of $1.6 million in trade payables for additional fuel it purchased from TransMontaigne after the closing of the business combination. Any payment of these trade payables will correspondingly reduce Properties obligations to TransMontaigne under the Agreement. As part of the Agreement, Properties also made a note to TransMontaigne in an amount, which in accordance with the reclassification, included the payments made by Plazas to TransMontaigne on behalf of Properties during the post-closing transition period. Collateral for the Note and Properties’ obligations to TransMontaigne under the Agreement are certain real property owned by Properties. The Company and Properties are currently in the process of renegotiating the terms of the Agreement.

Fuel Financing

On October 17, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement with S&S NY Holdings, Inc. (“S&S”) for $500,000 to purchase #2 heating fuel. The term of the agreement is for 90 days with an option to refinance at the end of the 90 day period for an additional 90 days. The repayment of the principal amount will be $0.10 cents per gallon of fuel sold to the Company’s customers excluding pre-purchase gallons. An additional $0.075 per gallon will be paid as interest. The agreement also provides that in each 30 day period the interest amount can be no less than $37,500.00.  As of January 17, 2008, the Company had repaid $100,000 and exercised its right to refinance the amount until March 31, 2008.  The Company has provided for repayment of this loan in exchange for granting S&S a 49% interest in Able Energy NY, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and a 90% interest in the Company’s Easton and Horsham, PA operations ("Able PA"). Thereafter, on October 31, 2008, the Company was granted the right to repurchase S&S's interests in Able NY and Able PA.  See, “S&S Settlement Agreement” and "Amendment to the S&S Settlement Agreement", below.

On October 5, 2007, Properties reclassified all outstanding trade payables with TransMontaigne to a note payable in the amount of $15.0 million.  Interest at the rate of 8% is being accrued on all past due amounts as of October 5, 2007.  In addition, an amount of $1,550,000.00 was added to the note to begin a prepaid purchase program whereby Plazas will prepay for its fuel prior to delivery.  Repayment of this note is to commence on or about March 15, 2008 with a 25-year amortization schedule with a maturity of November 15, 2009. If a threshold payment is made on or before March 15, 2008 and before August 15, 2008 (after initial 25-year amortization begins) in the amount of $3.0 million then a new 25-year amortization schedule will commence effective July 31, 2009 and mature on March 31, 2011.  Collateral on this note are certain properties owned by Properties. The Company is currently in the process of renegotiating the terms of this agreement.

On December 20, 2007, the Company entered in to a second loan agreement with S&S for $500,000 to purchase #2 heating fuel.  The term of the agreement is through March 31, 2008.  The repayment of principle is not due until the maturity date.  An additional $0.075 per gallon will be paid as interest. The agreement also provides that in each 30-day period the interest amount can be no less than $37,500.  The Company has also provided for repayment of this loan in exchange for granting S&S a 49% interest in Able Energy NY, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and a 90% interest in the Company’s Easton and Horsham, PA operations ("Able PA"). Thereafter, on October 31, 2008, the Company was granted the right to repurchase S&S's interests in Able NY and Able PA.  See, “S&S Settlement Agreement” and "Amendment to the S&S Settlement Agreement", below.

On February 25, 2008, the Company increased an existing credit line by executing a Fuel Purchase Loan (“FPL”) agreement with EGC.  The increase, in the amount of $0.5 million, is a further extension of credit under an existing May 13, 2005 agreement between the Company and EGC (the “Loan Agreement”) (See Note 11).  In addition to the general terms of the Loan Agreement, under the repayment terms of the FPL, EGC will reduce the loan amount outstanding by applying specific amounts from the Company’s availability under the Loan Agreement.  These amounts start at $2,500 per business day, commencing March 1, 2008, gradually increasing to $10,000 per business day on June 1, 2008 and thereafter until the FPL is paid in full.  In further consideration for making the FPL, commencing February 22, 2008, EGC shall be entitled to receive a revenue share of four cents ($0.04) per gallon of fuel purchased with the FPL funds, subject to a $5,000 per week minimum during the first seven weeks of the program.

On May 8, 2008, Plazas entered into a Fuel Supply Agreement (“FSA”) with Atlantis Petroleum, LLC (“Atlantis”).  The FSA provides that for a term of three years, Atlantis will be the sole and exclusive diesel fuel supplier to eight (8) of the travel plazas operated by Plazas located in Pennsylvania. The price per gallon of the diesel fuel supplied by Atlantis provides Plazas with a favorable wholesale rate. The price per gallon is based upon the delivery of a full transport truckload of product. All prices charged by Atlantis are subject to the provisions of applicable law. It is estimated that pursuant to the FSA, Atlantis will supply at least 44,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel for the first year and increase thereafter as Plazas increases its market share.

The obligations of Plaza under the FSA have been guaranteed by Properties, which guaranty is limited to a thirty day period beginning thirty days prior to Atlantis’ written notice to Properties of Plazas’ breach of the FSA.

On October 31, 2008, Plazas entered into agreements with UCP Capital Management, LLC (“UCP”) pursuant to which UCP will arrange for the consignment and distribution of gasoline obtained from Gulf Oil or Valero Oil terminals and motor diesel fuel at the travel plazas operated by Plazas. Once delivered, Plazas will have complete control over the product delivered including the retail prices at which the gasoline is sold. UCP will retain the cost of the fuel as determined by the Gulf or Valero Branded Rack price for the gasoline or its cost of the diesel fuel plus two cents plus all applicable taxes and delivery charges per gallon for each gallon of gasoline delivered by UCP and sold by Plazas in a given month. Plazas will retain the difference between the amount retained by UCP and the price per gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel sold. Pursuant to this agreement the gasoline islands at the travel plazas operated by Plazas will be branded with either the Gulf or Valero trade name. The term of the agreements shall be effective on November 1, 2008 and run through October 31, 2013.

Litigation

On October 10, 2007, the Company entered into a Stipulation settling the action it had commenced against Mark Roy Anderson, Camden Holdings, Inc., Summit Oil and Gas, Inc., Summit Ventures, Inc., Harvest Worldwide, LLC and Harvest Worldwide, Inc. in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC363149, as well as the counterclaims asserted therein by Summit Ventures, Inc. and Mark Anderson against the Company and certain of its present and former directors and officers, Gregory Frost, Tim Harrington, Christopher Westad, Timothy Harrington and Frank Nocito. The Stipulation provides that in consideration of the parties discontinuing with prejudice all their claims against each other, Summit Ventures, Inc. will return its stock certificate evidencing its ownership of 142,857 shares of the Company’s common stock and upon such return it will be issued a new certificate for such shares free of any restrictive legend. Upon execution of the Stipulation of Settlement the parties exchanged general releases of all claims they had or may have had against each other to the date of the releases.

On October 1, 2007, the Company and its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) filed an action in New York state court against Marcum & Kliegman, LLP (the Company’s former auditors) and several of its partners for numerous claims, including breach of contract, gross negligence and defamation.  The Company and its CEO are seeking compensatory damages in the amount of at least $1 million and punitive damages of at least $20 million. The claims asserted by the Company and its CEO arise out of Marcum & Kliegman’s conduct with respect to the preparation and filing of the Company’s SEC Reports.  On November 26, 2007, Marcum & Kliegman and its partners filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground that it fails to state a claim for relief as a matter of law.  On May 5, 2008, the Court issued a written decision and order sustaining the Company’s claims against Marcum & Kliegman for breach of contract and defamation, but dismissed the Company’s claims for negligence, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Marcum & Kliegman and the defamation claim against the individual defendants.  Both the Company and Marcum & Kliegman have filed appeals from the decision and order.  Discovery proceedings have commenced and the Company intends to vigorously prosecute this action.

On January 7, 2008, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, Gregory D. Frost, and its Vice-President of Business Development, Frank Nocito, were served with a summons and complaint in a purported class action complaint filed in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey. This action, which seeks class certification, was brought by shareholders of CCI Group, Inc. (“CCIG”). The complaint relates to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated July 7, 2006, between Properties and CCIG, pursuant to which seventy percent (70%) of the outstanding and issued shares of CCIG were exchanged for 618,557 shares of the Company’s common stock which were owned by Properties of which 250,378 shares were to be distributed to the shareholders of CCIG and the balance of the shares were to be used to pay debts of CCIG.  Neither the Company nor Messrs. Frost or Nocito were parties to the Share Exchange Agreement. Properties remain the largest shareholder of the Company. The Share Exchange Agreement was previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 7, 2006 as part of a disclosure of a loan by the Company to Properties.

Each of the Company and Messrs. Frost and Nocito believes it/he has defenses against the alleged claims and intends to vigorously defend itself/himself against this action and have filed a motion to dismiss the compliant.  The motion has been fully briefed and submitted to the Court.  As of the date of this Report, no decision has been issued with respect to the motion.

On September 17, 2008 an action was commenced in the Common Court of Pleas in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania against Plazas by SCC3, LLC. The action arises out of a note (the “Note”) made by Milton Properties, Inc. (“Milton”), the owner of the real property (the “Property”) underlying the Milton travel plaza which is leased to, and operated by, Plazas, to Silar Special Opportunities Fund, L.P.(“Silar”) and a mortgage (the “Mortgage”) granted by Milton to Silar on the Property to secure the Note. Silar subsequently assigned the Note and Mortgage to the plaintiff, SCC3, LLC.  As further security for Milton’s obligations under the Note, Milton assigned to Silar its lease with Plazas for the Property and the rents therefor (the “Assignment of Leases and Rent”). The lease (the “Lease”) for the property expires in 2013.  Silar also assigned its rights under the Assignment of Leases and Rents to the plaintiff.  The complaint alleges that Milton is in default of its obligations under the Note and Mortgage. As a result, plaintiff alleges that it has exercised its rights under the Assignment of Lease and Rents and revoked Milton’s right to collect rent for the Property. The plaintiff further alleges that Plazas is in default of its obligations under the Lease and that pursuant to the Assignment of Lease and Rents plaintiff has the right to enforce the Lease and declare all rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease to be due and payable. Plaintiff is seeking damages in the amount of $17,855,024 representing the balance of rent due under the term of the Lease.  Plazas has filed an answer denying the allegations of the complaint. Plazas intends to make vigorously defend this action and will make a motion to dismiss the complaint.

On October 7, 2008 a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas by Petro Franchise Systems, LLC and TA Operating LLC, (collectively the “Plaintiffs”), against Properties, Plazas and The Chelednik Family Trust (the “Trust”), (collectively the “Defendants”). The complaint seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief arising out of Properties’ and Plazas’ alleged breach of Petro franchise agreements for the Petro travel centers located in Breezewood and Milton, Pennsylvania and the Trust’s guaranty of the Milton franchise agreement.  Plaintiffs are seeking damages in the amounts of $149,851 and $154,585 for the alleged breach of the Breezewood and Milton franchise agreements, respectively. In addition, the complaint is requesting damages for violations of the Lanham Act, including the continued purported improper use by Properties and Plazas of the registered Petro trademarks and the dilution of those trademarks; unfair competition and unjust enrichment; trademark infringement under Texas state law; and, conversion. As of the date of this Report, the complaint has not been served upon the defendants.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.  The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles which require 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.

We consider the following policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact our results of consolidated operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition, Unearned Revenue and Customer Pre-Purchase Payments

Sales of travel plaza services, fuel and heating equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, and sales of equipment are recognized at the time of installation. Revenue from repairs and maintenance service is recognized upon completion of the service. Payments received from customers for heating equipment service contracts are deferred and amortized into income over the term of the respective service contracts, on a straight-line basis, which generally do not exceed one year.  Payments received from customers for the pre-purchase of fuel are recorded as a current liability until the fuel is delivered to the customer, at which time the payments are recognized as revenue by the Company.

Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We calculate our depreciation and amortization based on estimated useful lives and salvage values of our assets. When assets are put into service, we make estimates with respect to useful lives that we believe are reasonable. However, subsequent events could cause us to change our estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation and amortization.
 
Additionally, we assess our long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Such indicators include changes in our business plans, a change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition, or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset that will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset, an impairment charge would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired would necessarily involve numerous management estimates. Any impairment reviews and calculations would be based on assumptions that are consistent with our business plans and long-term investment decisions.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We routinely review our receivable balances to identify past due amounts and analyze the reasons such amounts have not been collected. In many instances, such uncollected amounts involve billing delays and discrepancies or disputes as to the appropriate price or volumes of oil delivered, received or exchanged. We also attempt to monitor changes in the creditworthiness of our customers as a result of developments related to each customer, the industry as a whole and the general economy. Based on these analyses, we have established an allowance for doubtful accounts that we consider to be adequate, however, there is no assurance that actual amounts will not vary significantly from estimated amounts.
 
Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the income tax expense provision. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company assesses the likelihood of our deferred tax assets being recovered from future taxable income. The Company then provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when the Company does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the valuation allowance. Any decrease in the valuation allowance could have a material impact on net income in the quarter in which such determination is made.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of July 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The application of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, "Fair Value Measurements", which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in United States generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of SFAS 157 is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157, and the Company will adopt SFAS 157 in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008.
 
In September 2006, the staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB No.’s 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).”  SFAS 158 requires an employer and sponsors of one or more single employer defined plans to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan; recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gain or losses and prior service costs or credits that may arise during the period; measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the employer’s fiscal year; and enhance footnote disclosure.  For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, employers with equity securities that trade on a public market are required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the enhanced footnote disclosures.  For fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, employers are required to measure plan assets and benefit obligations.  Management of the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") EITF 00-19-2 "Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements" ("FSP EITF 00-19-2") which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 was required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115", which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The application of this statement has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 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 establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.  This statement also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 
28

 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R).  SFAS 141R establishes 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 for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.   The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The new standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be 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 (the GAAP hierarchy).  SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s 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.  Adoption of SFAS No. 162, upon its effectiveness, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared To Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s total revenues were $67.0 million.  The $54.2 million increase in revenue was primarily due to the business combination with All American Plazas, Inc. on May 30, 2007. The Company is engaged in two primary business activities, organized in two segments; the Oil Segment and the Travel Plaza Segment.

Oil Segment

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $10.2 million versus $12.8 million in the same period last year, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 20.3%. The decrease was attributed to a $1.0 million, or 15.7%, decrease in #2 Heating Oil sales, due primarily to an increase in the price the Oil Segment paid for the heating oil and the loss of the Oil Segment contract with the BJ Wholesale Club. The Oil Segment also had a $1.6 million, or 26.9%, related decrease in other fuel sales reflecting the loss of some of the Oil Segment’s commercial fuel customers. While the Oil Segment has initiated efforts to recover and/or replace the lost commercial fuel customers and its former net sales, there is no assurance that the Oil Segment will be successful in our efforts.

Gross profit decreased $0.6 million and gross profit margin percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 decreased to 5.5% from 9.9% last year. The decrease in gross profit margin percent was the result of increased fuel costs that we were not able to pass on to our customers.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $0.4 million, or 16.9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. This is predominately related to a decrease in our audit and legal fees in the current three month period.

Total other expenses decreased to a net expense of $0.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from $0.9 million last year. The change was primarily related to a $0.4 million decrease in financing costs related to the prior year amortization of debt discounts on convertible debenture and notes payable, along with a decrease in other income of $0.2 million

As a result of the above noted performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, net loss remained flat at $2.2 million.

Travel Plaza Segment

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $56.8 million, reflecting the Plaza Segment first full quarter of consolidated reporting of the Travel Plaza Segment, acquired May 30, 2007.

Gross profit for the period was $2.9 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $4.6 million.

Total other income resulted in approximately $51,000.
 
29


Net loss of the Travel Plaza Segment was $2.1 million for this three month period.

No comparable information for the Travel Plaza Segment exists for the prior fiscal period ended September 30, 2006 since the transaction with All American Plazas, Inc., now known as All American Properties, Inc., was not closed during that period and therefore, the Company was not engaged in the travel plaza business during that period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The quarter ended September 30, 2007 was the first full quarter after the closing of the Company’s business combination with Properties and the operation of its new Travel Plaza Segment. During this period the Company spent a substantial amount of time and effort reviewing the combined Company’s administrative expenses in an attempt to consolidate and streamline its operations to reduce its overall expenses and overhead. In particular, the Company focused on eliminating employee staffing and expenses that were common to both its Oil and Travel Plaza Segments. The goal was to increase the Company’s liquidity by eliminating duplicative costs and expenses. The attempt to streamline the operations of the combined Company and reduce expenses is an ongoing effort and will take some time to complete. The Company will continue to review its administrative expenses and consolidate and eliminate where it is thought to be efficient to do so.  

The Oil Segment had a net loss of $2.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 and ended the period with a working capital deficiency of $6.6 million. The $3.0 million increase in working capital deficiency since June 30, 2007 is directly related to an increase in customer prepurchase liability and the partial use of these prepaid dollars to fund operations during the three month period ending September 30, 2007 which, due to the seasonal nature of the Oil Segment’s business, is historically that Segment’s least productive period of the year.  The Oil Segment continued to draw on its credit line during the quarter.  The Company intends to seek new financing for its Oil Segment to increase profitability and improve liquidity, as well as, investigate possible areas into which it may be able to expand its business.

The Travel Plaza Segment had a net loss of $2.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 and ended the period with a working capital deficiency of $0.5 million.   The Company addressed the Travel Plaza Segments liquidity needs by securing additional funds by increasing the amount of its credit card receivable financing and changes in the terms on its financing agreement with Crown Financial, LLC.

The Company overall had a net loss of $4.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, and provided cash from operations of $0.8  million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007.

The Company overall had a working capital deficiency of $7.1 million at September 30, 2007 compared to a working capital deficiency of $3.6 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in the working capital deficiency of $3.5 million was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s trade payables and customer prepurchase liability.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of $3.5 million and $1.4 million of available borrowings through its credit line facility, potentially offset by $4.7 million in obligations for funds received in advance under the pre-purchase fuel program.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In addition, to the consolidation of the Company’s combined business as outlined above, in a further effort to increase its liquidity, the Company is pursuing other lines of business, which include expansion of its current commercial business into other products and services such as solar energy and other energy related home services. The Company is also evaluating all of its business segments for cost reductions and efficiency improvements. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to enhance our liquidity situation.

The Company will also pursue opportunities to procure an overall fuel supply program that encompasses both operating segments of its business to enable better profitability for both Segments. The Company also intends to aggressively pursue potential expansion into new market areas for both Segments.

The Company will also evaluate within each Segment of operations those areas that are more productive than others and either restructure, lease, sell or discontinue selected operations of our businesses until a better use of our assets is available or economic conditions allow for continued expansion.

In order to conserve its capital resources as well as to provide an incentive for the Company’s employees and other service vendors, the Company will continue to issue, from time to time, common stock and stock options to compensate employees and non-employees for services rendered. The Company is also focusing on its Oil Segment by expanding distribution programs and developing new customer relationships to increase demand for its products. The Travel Plaza Segment is looking to reduce costs internally and seek out more attractive fuel purchase arrangements along with reviewing its pricing philosophy to its customers.

Subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Company executed numerous financing agreements, sold certain assets and engaged in other activities to enhance its liquidity (See, Note 18 to Financial Statements, “Subsequent Events”).

The Company must also bring current each of its SEC filings as part of a plan to raise additional capital. In addition to the filing of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company must also complete and file its Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008, September 30, 2008 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.  Achieving filing compliance is critical to the financial health of the Company since it will permit the Company to raise funds for equity investments which would replace debt.  The Company has been working diligently toward this goal but has been slowed by factors discussed throughout this Report including a change in its Independent Auditors which has caused the Company substantial delay in filing its Reports.

The Company has also been waiting to receive the final report from the SEC with respect to its Formal Order of Private Investigation. While the Company has no reason to believe there will be a negative finding by the SEC, until the issuance of the SEC’s final report, this will continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise new capital even if the Company achieves filing compliance

There can be no assurance that the financing or the cost saving measures or the anticipated plans of the Company as identified above will be satisfactory in addressing the short-term liquidity needs of the Company. In the event that these plans cannot be effectively realized, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

Seasonality

The Company’s Oil Segment operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations, with a majority of the Oil Segment’s business occurring in the late fall and winter months. Approximately 60% to 65% of the Oil Segment’s revenues are earned and received from October through March; most of such revenues are derived from the sale of home heating products, primarily #2 home heating oil.  However, the seasonality of the Oil Segment’s business is offset, in part, by an increase in revenues from the sale of HVAC products and services, diesel and gasoline fuels during the spring and summer months due to the increased use of automobiles and construction apparatus.

From May through September, Able Oil can experience considerable reduction of retail heating oil sales. Similarly, Able NY’s propane operations can experience up to an 80% decrease in heating related propane sales during the months of April to September, which is offset somewhat by increased sales of propane gas used for pool heating, heating of domestic hot water in homes and fuel for outdoor cooking equipment.

Seasonal issues have an insignificant impact on the Company’s Travel Plaza Segment.  While leisure travel has a tendency to moderate somewhat in the winter months in the geographic areas in which we operate, revenue related to the leisure traveler is relatively insignificant compared to fuel and services related revenue generated by our professional driving customers.

Future Operating Results

Future operating results, which reflect management’s current expectations, may be impacted by a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated herein.  These factors include worldwide economic and political conditions, terrorist activities, industry specific factors and governmental agencies.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is obligated to purchase # 2 Heating Oil under various contracts with its suppliers. As of September 30, 2007, total open commitments under these contracts were approximately $5.2 million and expire on various dates through the end of August 2008.

Exchange Rate, Interest Rate and Supply Risks
 
The Company has no exchange rate risks as we conduct 100% of our operations in the United States of America, and we conduct our transactions in US dollars.  The Company is exposed to extensive market risk in the areas of fuel cost, availability and related financing and interest cost.  Increases in our borrowing rates, as small as 100 basis points, could significantly increase our losses and hinder our ability to purchase our fuels for resale.  The slightest disruption in the fuel supply chain could also significantly increase our losses and hinder our ability to purchase our fuels for resale.  The Company has no protection against interest rate risk or supply disruptions.  Other than the above noted futures contracts, the Company does not engage in any other sort of hedging activity and holds no investments securities at September 30, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management at September 30, 2007. Based on this evaluation, and as noted below, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of  September 30, 2007, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, for the reasons discussed below, at a reasonable level of assurance, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the Reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The Company identified a weakness during the preparation of the September 30, 2006 Form 10-Q. The weakness related to the Company’s loss of its then Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of an Acting Chief Financial Officer.  As a result of the SEC’s Formal Order of Private Investigation and the subpoenas issued in connection therewith and the change of the Company’s auditors, the Company became delinquent in filing its SEC reports.  During the preparation of the September 30, 2006 Form 10-Q, the Company retained independent consultants with experience in public company disclosure requirements to assist the Chief Executive Officer and the acting Chief Financial Officer in their respective duties during the review, preparation and disclosures required in SEC rules and regulations.

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures

A new Chief Financial Officer was appointed as of September 24, 2007 and the Company continues to engage independent consultants with experience in public company disclosure requirements to assist such officers in their respective duties during the review, preparation and disclosures required in SEC rules and regulations.   The Company believes that its appointment of its new Chief Financial Officer, along with the continued retention of independent consultants, will result in its disclosure controls and procedures being sufficiently effective to insure that the Company will become compliant with its SEC reporting requirements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 26, 2007, the Company and its affiliate, Properties (together with the Company the “Claimants”), filed a Demand for Arbitration and Statement of Claim in the Denver, Colorado office of the American Arbitration Association against Manns Haggerskjold of North America, Ltd. (“Manns”), Scott Smith and Shannon Coe (collectively the “Respondents”), Arbitration Case No. 77 148 Y 00236 07 MAV. The Statement of Claim filed seeks to recover fees of $1.2 million paid to Manns to obtain financing for the Company and Properties. The Claimants commenced the Arbitration proceeding based upon the Respondents breach of the September 14, 2006 Commitment Letter from Manns to Plazas that required Manns to loan Plazas $150 million. The Statement of Claim sets forth claims for breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation and lender liability. On July 23, 2007, Respondents filed their answer to the Statement of Claim substantially denying the allegations asserted therein and interposing counterclaims setting forth claims against the Company for breach of the Non-Circumvention Clause, breach of the Exclusivity Clause and unpaid expenses. Respondents also assert counterclaims for fraudulent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment. On Respondents’ counterclaim for breach of the Non-Circumvention Clause, Respondents claim damages of $6,402,500. On their counterclaim for breach of the Exclusivity Clause, Respondents claim damages of $3,693,750, plus an unspecified amount related to fees on loans exceeding $2,000,000 closed by Properties or the Company over the next five years. Respondents do not specify damages relative to their other counterclaims.

On August 7, 2007, the Claimants filed their reply to counterclaims denying all of Respondents material allegations therein. Respondents’ counterclaims were based on the false statement that the Claimants had, in fact, received the financing agreed to be provided by Manns from a third party.  The Respondents subsequently withdrew all of their counterclaims.

The parties have selected an Arbitrator and are presently engaged in discovery.  The parties have exchanged documents and the depositions of the parties have commenced and are scheduled to be concluded in November, 2008.  The hearing of the parties’ claims is scheduled to commence before the Arbitrator on December 8, 2008.

SEC Formal Order of Private Investigation

On August 31, 2007, the Company was served with a second subpoena duces tecum (the “Second Subpoena”) from the SEC pursuant to the Formal Order of Investigation issued by the SEC on September 7, 2006. The Company continues to gather, review and produce documents to the SEC and is cooperating fully with the SEC in complying with the Second Subpoena. As of the date of this Report, the Company has produced and will, if required, continue to produce responsive documents and intends to continue cooperating with the SEC in connection with the investigation.  On May 13, 2008, the Company received correspondence from the SEC requesting the Company respond, in writing, to eleven questions proffered by the SEC staff.  The Company provided its responses to the eleven questions to the SEC on May 21, 2008.  The responsive correspondence was signed by the Company’s outside SEC counsel, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, PC, after it was reviewed by the Company’s senior management, as well as the Company’s outside financial consultant and the Company’s auditors.

On July 29 and 30, 2008, the Company’s CEO, Mr. Frost and the Company’s Executive Vice-President, Business Development, Mr. Nocito, were deposed by the SEC.  The Company has been advised by its SEC counsel, who also attended the depositions that it believes the primary focus of the investigation is for the Company to complete its outstanding, delinquent SEC filings in order to obtain filing compliance.
