ENTHEOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation - Going Concern Uncertainties
The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company faces all the risks common to companies in their early stages of development, including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. The Companys recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company expects to incur losses from its business operations and will require additional funding during 2006 and 2007. The future of the Company hereafter will depend in large part on the Companys ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to pay for planned expenditures and to fund operations.
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Management believes that its current and future plans enable it to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Note 2 Presentation of Interim Information
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and in the opinion of management of Entheos Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company), include all adjustments (which were normal, recurring in nature) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2006 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices and applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Companys 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
There have been no pronouncements issued that are not yet effective that would have a material effect on these financial statements.
Note 3 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Diluted earnings or loss per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. All share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value, when applicable. All loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic loss per share because the inclusion of stock options and warrants outstanding would be antidilutive. The computation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows at September 30, 2006:

The reader is cautioned that no statements contained in this Form 10-QSB should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those identified within this Form 10-QSB. The actual results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

Overview
Entheos Technologies, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., serves as an Application Service Provider providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email and search engine optimization services.
The Company is a Nevada corporation with an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 96,625,122 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.
Plan of Operation
The Company is currently seeking to augment its position in technology based services through the acquisition of and or joint venture with, other technology based ventures. Additionally, the Company is engaged in the development of search engine optimization, and search engine results-positioning and marketing services.
The Companys principal source of liquidity is cash in bank, which we anticipate will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the time and investment required to source out and invest in promising technology-based ventures, to recruit and train qualified management personnel and the Company's ability to compete against other, better capitalized corporations in similar businesses.
Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's businesses, the Company expects to incur losses as it expands. The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all. See "Risk Factors" for additional details.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2006, the Company had a cash balance of $24,939. The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash on hand during the nine month period ending September 30, 2006.
10
Net cash flows used in by operating activities was $57,039 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2006, compared to net cash flows used of $31,696 for the same period in 2005, primarily due to an increase in net loss from operations and a decrease in accounts payable. The Company believes it has sufficient cash to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months.
The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors. These factors include the Company's ability to operate its business profitably in the future, recruit and train qualified management, technical and sales personnel, and the Company's ability to compete against other, better-capitalized corporations. The Company has adequate cash to satisfy its cash requirements over the next twelve months. The Company may raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.
Related Party Transactions
Management fees: During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, the Company paid $nil (2005: $6,000) and $4,000 (2005: $6,000) in management fees to four directors, respectively.
Accounts Payable: As of September 30, 2006, the Company owed $23,812 for outstanding management fees to a director, which is included in accounts payable - related parties.
Marketable Equity Securities: Marketable securities consist of 2,402,500 shares of common stock of International Energy, Inc., a public company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, with an estimated fair value of $1,201,250, amortized cost of $48,050, and gross unrealized gains of $1,153,200, which was credited to accumulated other comprehensive income representing the difference between the cost and the stated market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date. A director and majority stockholder of the Company is also a Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and majority shareholder of International Energy, Inc. (formerly eDeal.net, Inc.).
The marketable securities experienced unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $288,300.
The Company does not believe this decrease in marketable securities will affect the Companys current operation.
On September 22, 2006 the Companys Board of Directors approved the execution and delivery, subject to shareholder approval, of a stock acquisition agreement pursuant to which Mr. Harmel S. Rayat proposes to acquire 2,402,500 shares of the common stock of International Energy, Inc. at a price of $0.035 per share or $84,087 in the aggregate. Mr. Rayat is an officer, director and controlling stockholder of each of the Company and International Energy, Inc.
The Board of Directors decision to approve the above stock acquisition agreement and the consummation of the sale of the International Energy, Inc. shares was based on the Board of Directors assessment of various factors including, the Companys financial needs over the next 12 to 24 months.
Consummation of the purchase and sale of the International Energy, Inc. shares is subject to, among other things, to the approval of a majority of the shares represented and voting at the Companys annual meeting, exclusive of the shares owned directly or beneficially and voted by Mr. Rayat at the meeting.

Off-Balance Sheet Items
The Company currently has no off-balance sheet items.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its financial statements.
Income Taxes - We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. We currently have recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as we currently believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized
Contingencies - We may be subject to certain asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. It is our belief that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, we cannot provide assurance that damages that result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations will not be imposed in these matters. We account for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no pronouncements issued that are not yet effective that would have a material effect on these financial statements.
Risk Factors of the Business
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business. However, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock. We provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed here could adversely affect us.
Lack of Operating History
Our business is subject to the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Specifically, in formulating our business plan, we have relied on the judgment of our officers, directors and consultants but have not conducted any formal independent market studies concerning the demand for our services.
We have had limited revenues since inception, and revenues of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. We have not been profitable, experiencing an accumulated deficit of $3,803,706 through
September 30, 2006. Even if we become profitable in the future, we cannot accurately predict the level of, or our ability to sustain profitability. Because we have not yet been profitable and cannot predict any level of future profitability, you bear the risk of a complete loss of your investment in the event our business plan is unsuccessful.
12
The Company's ability to generate revenues and to achieve profitability and positive cash flow has depended on the successful commercialization of our ASP service, which has had limited success so far. Even if we eventually generate enough revenues from the sale of our services, we expect to incur significant operating losses over the next several years due to intense competition, a dearth of high volume email clients and low priced email software packages.
Intense Competition
The market for our services is intensely competitive, constantly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future. Increased competition may result in price reductions, changes in our pricing model, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could materially damage our business. Many of our competitors have more resources and broader and deeper customer access than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have or can readily obtain extensive knowledge of our industry. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new technologies or changes in Internet user preferences and devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their services. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and future competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
Dependence On Key Personnel
We depend on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel and the loss of one or more of these individuals could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert other senior management time in searching for their replacements. We do not have employment agreements with any employee, nor do we maintain any key person life insurance policies for any of our key employees. The loss of any of our key technical, sales or senior management personnel could harm our business. In addition, we must attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills required to develop, market and support our services. We may not be able to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees, and as a result our business could suffer.
Inability to Obtain Funding
We may not be able to obtain additional funding when needed, which could limit future expansion and marketing opportunities and result in lower than anticipated revenues. We may require additional financing to further develop our business and to pursue other technology-based business opportunities. If the market price of the common stock declines, some potential financiers may either refuse to offer us any financing or will offer financing at unacceptable rates or unfavorable terms. If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, this unavailability could prevent us from expanding our business, which could materially impact our future potential revenues.
Continued Control by Management.
You may lack an effective vote on corporate matters and management may be able to act contrary to your objectives. As of October 25, 2006, our officers and board members own 90% of the 96,625,122 outstanding common stock, excluding stock options. If management votes together, it could influence the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, mergers and asset sales. As a result, new stockholders may lack an effective vote with respect to the election of directors and other corporate matters. Therefore, it is possible that management may take actions with respect to its ownership interest, which may not be consistent with your objectives or desires.
Liquidity of Shares in Market Place
As of October 25, 2006, one of our directors beneficially owns approximately 90% of the Companys outstanding common stock, which could affect the liquidity of the companys shares in the market.
13
Adverse Effect From Future Sale of Stock
Future sales of large amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or following the exercise of outstanding options, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable, without restriction or registration under the Securities Act, other than the sales volume reporting and transaction restrictions of Rule 144 applicable to shares held beneficially by persons who may be deemed to be affiliates. Our directors and executive officers and their family members are not under lockup letters or other forms of restriction on the sale of their common stock. The issuance of any or all of these additional shares upon exercise of options or warrants will dilute the voting power of our current stockholders on corporate matters and, as a result, may cause the market price of our common stock to decrease. Further, sales of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and could materially impair our future ability to generate funds through sales of common stock or other equity securities.
We are considered a penny stock.
The Company's stock differs from many stocks, in that it is a "penny stock." The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because our securities probably constitute "penny stock" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our stock to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34- 29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
-
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
-
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
-
"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
-
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
-
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
Furthermore, the "penny stock" designation may adversely affect the development of any public market for the Company's shares of common stock or, if such a market develops, its continuation. Broker-dealers are required to personally determine whether an investment in "penny stock" is suitable for customers.
Penny stocks are securities (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ-listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average annual revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 15g-2 of the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.
14
Potential investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."
Rule 15g-9 of the Commission requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for the Company's stockholders to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.
Independent Directors
We cannot guarantee our Board of Directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, who are also principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between the Company and its stockholders generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors.
Environmental Matters
The Company believes it conducts its business in compliance with all environmental laws presently applicable to its facilities. To date, there have been no expenses incurred by the Company related to environmental issues.
Government Regulation
The Company is not subject to any direct governmental regulation other than the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons associated with us to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic
15
reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.
There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date that management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, completed their evaluation
