PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
HISTORY
The Company was incorporated on July 24, 1984, in Nevada as Diversified
Ventures, Ltd. From 1984 through November 3, 2003 the Company went through
various name changes and business ventures. On November 3, 2003 the Company
changed its name from Justwebit.com, Inc. to Synthetic Turf Corporation, to
reflect the change in core business that was anticipated at the time. On
December 4, 2006, the Company changed its name to City Capital Corporation. In
2007, the Company withdrew its status as a business development company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission resulting in a dramatic change of business
focus in the past year. For information on the Company during its business
development company stage, see Form 10-KSB for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 as
filed with the SEC. Currently City Capital Corporation manages diverse assets
and holdings including real estate developments and the buying, selling and
drilling of oil and gas properties.
On December 6, 2004, the Company elected, by the filing of a Form N-54A with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), to be regulated as a business
development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940
Act"). The Company carried on its business as a non-diversified closed-end
management investment company, as those terms are used in the 1940 Act, having
elected to be regulated under the 1940 Act as a business development company,
which is a closed-end management investment company that provides small
businesses that qualify as an "eligible portfolio company" with investment
capital and also significant managerial assistance.
Under the accounting principles applicable to a BDC, subsidiaries are not
consolidated into the Company but rather are reported on the Company's financial
statements at their fair value as determined by the board of directors of the
Company. The Portfolio Company focused on the retail distribution of artificial
turf products. On December 1, 2004, the Company moved its assets (valued at a
total of $239,532, consisting of accounts receivable of $19,046 and a receivable
from Avery Sports Turf, Inc., a related company, of $220,486) into Perfect Turf,
Inc. ("Portfolio Company") in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio Company's common stock (1,000 shares) in order to meet the
requirements of the 1940 Act.
3
On November 30, 2005, the Company organized The Hough Initiative, LLC, an Ohio
limited liability company. The Company was organized to renovate and sell
distressed properties in the Ohio area. This entity was discontinued in exchange
for debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2007.
On November 11, 2006 the Company presented for shareholder approval a resolution
to withdraw the Company's election to continue to operate as a Business
Development Company. On December 11, 2006 and subsequent to the approval of its
shareholders, the Company filed form 14-C with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to withdraw its status as a BDC. The withdrawal became effective on
January 3, 2007.
On April 19, 2006 the Company acquired ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC. This
operating subsidiary specialized in the redevelopment of inner city land through
the construction and sale of residential and commercial buildings. The Company
disposed of ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC on November 2007. The Company
incurred a loss on discontinued operations of $1,792,302. This subsidiary was
discontinued in exchange for debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2007.
On March 29, 2007 the Company entered into agreement to sell its operating
subsidiary Perfect Turf, Inc. Under terms of the agreement the buyer of Perfect
Turf, Inc assumed $191,225 of the Company's debt including a combination certain
of the Company's notes payable, convertible debentures and the interest on the
assumed debt. The Company incurred a loss of $64,170 on the disposition of the
investment subsidiary.
On April 6, 2007 the Company organized City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC. The
Company was organized to purchase, renovate and sell distressed properties
across the country. The Company discontinued City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC in
November 2007, incurring a gain on discontinued operations of $205,531.This
entity was disposed in association with the exchange for debt restructuring in
the fourth quarter of 2007.
On October 1, 2007, the Company was granted St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc.,
that consists of an apartment building in Cleveland, Ohio for no cash
consideration as the seller was unable to fund the property. The Company assumed
approximately $420,000 in accounts payable, and accrued liabilities with this
transaction.
Business of the Company
The Company is engaged in leveraging investments, holdings and other assets to
create self-sufficiency for communities around the country and the world. City
Capital Corporation currently manages diverse assets and holdings including real
estate development, and buying, selling and drilling oil and gas properties.
City Capital makes strategic investments and acquisitions that have potential to
yield a positive return on investment. Our intent is to acquire assets at a
significant discount to market, and then rebuild them for sale of cash flow. We
believe that these investments also serve the communities we operate in by
creating economic opportunities for underserved populations. Through the Goshen
Energy subsidiary we are investigating and identifying opportunities within the
Bio Fuel market domestically and internationally.
Subsidiaries
Active Subsidiaries:
Goshen Energy, Inc.
On January 10, 2007 Goshen Energy Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% interest in leases of oil and gas
leases from Montreal Energy, Inc. Under terms of the agreement the Company's
subsidiary was to pay $500,000 plus $2,000,000 from revenue of the oil leases in
Goshen. The Company closed on the lease agreement on May 1, 2007.
4
In the first quarter 2007, $200,000 was paid in repairs and maintenance for an
oil pump. We have expensed that in repairs and maintenance as of September 30,
2007.
On May 8, 2007 we paid $300,000 toward the lease. Payment terms to acquire the
minerals rights included a payment on July 27, 2007. The Company was unable to
make this payment and has subsequent lost its deposit and lease of the oil and
gas properties. We have recorded this loss as loss on investment in our
financial statements.
On November 7, 2007, Goshen Energy signed a joint venture agreement with Native
American Biofuels International representing the bio fuels interest of nearly a
dozen Native American Tribes. The joint venture will facilitate development of
both bio-fuels and other renewable energy resources, and the necessary
infrastructure to implement such a program on tribal lands to produce biodiesel.
As of December 31, 2007, there has been no movement as the terms of the
agreement have not been met.
On November 13, 2007, Goshen Energy signed a distribution agreement with Verde
Bio Fuels, Inc., a South Carolina Corporation, to distribute their bio-diesel
product in the United States. In the agreement Verde committed to purchase up to
10 Million gallons of Goshen B-100 and B-99.9 bio-diesel per year, to distribute
across the United States. Verde also has right of first refusal on any other
U.S. production of Goshen bio-diesel. Under the agreement, Verde will pay all of
the production costs for the fuel it distributes, and the two companies will
split the net profits on the sale of each gallon.
St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc.
On October 1, 2007, the Company was granted St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc.,
that consists of an apartment building in Cleveland, Ohio for no cash
consideration as the seller was unable to fund the property. The Company assumed
approximately $420,000 in accounts payable, and accrued liabilities with this
transaction.
Inactive Subsidiaries:
Perfect Turf, Inc.
Prior to its election to be a BDC, the Company specialized in the sale and
distribution of artificial turf. Those business activities were conducted in the
Company's subsidiary, Perfect Turf, Inc. Perfect Turf was sold on March 29,
2007.
ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC
On April 19, 2006 the Company acquired ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC. This
operating subsidiary specialized in the redevelopment of inner city land through
the construction and sale of residential and commercial buildings. The Company
through its operating subsidiary held property in Kansas City, Missouri which
was planned for redevelopment though the construction of residential and
commercial buildings on the vacant property. This entity was discontinued in
exchange for debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2007.
City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC
On April 6, 2007 the Company organized City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC. The
Company was organized to purchase, renovate and sell distressed properties
across the country. The Company discontinued City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC in
November 2007, incurring a gain on discontinued operations of $205,531.This
entity was disposed in association with the exchange for debt restructuring in
the fourth quarter of 2007.
The Hough Initiative, LLC
On November 30, 2005, the Company organized The Hough Initiative, LLC, an Ohio
limited liability company. The Company was organized to renovate and sell
distressed properties in the Ohio area. This entity was discontinued in exchange
for debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2007.
5
Competition
The Company competes for assets with a large number of development companies
both profit and not for profit. Most of the competitors have greater resources
than the Company. Increased competition would make it more difficult for the
Company to purchase or originate assets at attractive prices.
The Company is in a highly competitive market and its assets are subject to
numerous outside influences including market prices for property and natural
resources such as oil. The market influences are not controllable by the Company
and are influenced by world markets, interest rates, governmental policies and
competitors with much larger financial capabilities.
Patents and Trademarks
The company does not hold any patents; trademarks; licenses, franchises,
concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts for its business.
Governmental Approval
The Company is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations of
an extraordinary nature pertaining to its business, other than normal and
ordinary regulations pertaining to a small business enterprise such as the
Company. The Company's business may involve costs or effects of compliance with
environmental laws (federal, state or local environmental law).
Government Regulation of Development, Exploration and Production
The Company is not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations of
an extraordinary nature pertaining to the Company's business, other than those
which apply to the development of its oil and gas properties, and those may be
extensive.
The development of the Company's oil and gas properties are subject to extensive
rules and regulations promulgated by federal and state agencies. Failure to
comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The
regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases cost of doing business
and affects its profitability. Because such rules and regulations are frequently
amended or interpreted differently by regulatory agencies, the Company will be
unable to accurately predict the future cost or impact of complying with such
laws.
The Company's oil and gas exploration and production operations are affected by
state and federal regulation of oil and gas production, federal regulation of
gas sold in interstate and intrastate commerce, state and federal regulations
governing environmental quality and pollution control, state limits on allowable
rates of production by a well or pro-ration unit and the amount of oil and gas
available for sale, state and federal regulations governing the availability of
adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities, and state
and federal regulation governing the marketing of competitive fuels.
Many state authorities require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds
and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the
exploration and production of oil and gas. Such states also have ordinances,
statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions
for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the regulation of
spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells, and limitations establishing
maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells
Environmental Regulation
The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation has been generally
toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. The Company does
not presently anticipate that it will be required to expend amounts relating to
the development of the oil and gas properties that are material in relation to
its total capital expenditure program by reason of environmental laws and
regulations, but because such laws and regulations are subject to interpretation
by enforcement agencies and are frequently changed by legislative bodies, we are
unable to accurately predict the ultimate cost of such compliance for 2008.
6
The Company will be subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to
environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition
of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and
concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in
connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling
activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, and areas
containing threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species, and impose
substantial liabilities for unauthorized pollution resulting from operations.
The following environmental laws and regulatory programs appear to be most
significant to the oil and gas properties in 2008:
Clean Water and Oil Pollution Regulatory Programs.
The Federal Clean Water Act ("CWA") regulates discharges of pollutants to
surface waters. The discharge of crude oil and petroleum products to surface
waters also is precluded by the Oil Pollution Act ("OPA"). Our operations are
inherently subject to accidental spills and releases of crude oil and drilling
fluids that may give rise to liability to governmental entities or private
parties under federal, state or local environmental laws, as well as under
common law. Minor spills occur from time to time during the normal course of our
production operations. The Company maintains spill prevention control and
countermeasure plans ("SPCC plans") for facilities that store large quantities
of crude oil or petroleum products to prevent the accidental discharge of these
potential pollutants to surface waters.
Clean Air Regulatory Programs.
The Company operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act ("CAA"), and
state implementing regulations. Among other things, the CAA requires all major
sources of hazardous air pollutants, as well as major sources of certain other
criteria pollutants, to obtain operating permits, and in some cases,
construction permits. The permits must contain applicable Federal and state
emission limitations and standards as well as satisfy other statutory and
regulatory requirements. The 1990 Amendments to the CAA also established new
monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements to provide a reasonable
assurance of compliance with emission limitations and standards.
Waste Disposal Regulatory Programs.
The operations may generate and result in the transportation and disposal of
quantities of produced water and other wastes classified by EPA as
"non-hazardous solid wastes". The EPA is currently considering the adoption of
stricter disposal and clean-up standards for non-hazardous solid wastes under
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). In some instances, EPA has
already required the clean up of certain non-hazardous solid waste reclamation
and disposal sites under standards similar to those typically found only for
hazardous waste disposal sites. It also is possible that wastes that are
currently classified as "non-hazardous" by EPA, including some wastes generated
during our drilling and production operations, may in the future be reclassified
as "hazardous wastes". Because hazardous wastes require much more rigorous and
costly treatment, storage, transportation and disposal requirements, such
changes in the interpretation and enforcement of the current waste disposal
regulations would result in significant increases in waste disposal expenditures
by us.
The Comprehensive Environmental Reponse, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA").
CERCLA, also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to
fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who
are considered to have caused or contributed to the release or threatened
release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include
the current or past owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the
release occurred and companies that transported disposed or arranged for the
disposal of the hazardous substances under CERCLA. These persons may be subject
to joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous
substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to
natural resources. The Company is not presently aware of any potential adverse
claims in this regard.
7
Health and Safety Regulatory Programs.
The operations also are subject to regulations promulgated by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") regarding worker and work place
safety.
Regulations Relating to Real Estate Development and Maintenance
Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in the Company's incurrence of
unanticipated expenses. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or
ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain
Federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Likewise,
the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment properties
first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the handicapped. These
and other Federal, state and local laws may require modifications to the
Company's property, or restrict renovations of the property. Noncompliance with
these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to
private litigants and also could result in an order to correct any non-complying
feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures.
Employees
As of December 31, 2007, we have no employees except our Chief Executive
Officer. We do not have any employees at this time and do not anticipate the
need to hire any employees until such time as we have been sufficiently
capitalized.
Our future success also depends on our ability to attract and retain other
qualified personnel, for which competition is intense. The loss of our Chief
Executive Officer or our inability to attract and retain other qualified
employees could have a material adverse effect on us.
Risk Factors
In addition to the risks and other considerations discussed elsewhere in this
annual report, set forth below is a discussion of certain risk factors relating
to our business and operations. These risk factors are drafted in "Plain
English" format in accordance with Rule 421 of the Securities Act. Accordingly,
references to "we" and "our" refer to City Capital Corporation and its
subsidiaries.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of operating losses and will need to generate significant
revenues to achieve or maintain our profitability.
The real estate market in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive.
There are many residential development companies within the market area both for
profit and not for profit that have greater resources than the Company.
Both the income and expenses of operating the property owned by the Company are
subject to factors outside of the Company's control, such as changes in the
supply and demand for similar properties resulting from various market
conditions, increases/decreases in unemployment or population shifts, changes in
the availability of permanent mortgage financing, changes in zoning laws, or
changes in patterns or needs of users.
The Company operates in a volatile market and is subject to numerous outside
influences in its business. Among the risks but not limited to the following
factors:
o The Company has a lack of operating history, is not profitable, and has
not generated sustainable revenue since inception, which may affect the
Company's ability to continue to operate.
8
o The Company's accountant has expressed a doubt as to whether the
Company may continue as a going concern. If the Company does not
develop sufficient operations to generate operating capital, this may
affect the Company's ability to continue to operate.
The Company May Borrow Money Which Magnifies the Potential For Gain or Loss on
Amounts Invested and May Increase the Risk of Investing in the Company.
Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or loss on
amounts invested and, therefore, increase the risks associated with investing in
our securities. The Company can borrow from and issue senior debt securities to
banks, insurance companies, and other lenders. Lenders of these senior
securities would have fixed dollar claims on the consolidated assets that are
superior to the claims of the common shareholders. If the value of the
consolidated assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value
attributable to the common stock to increase more sharply than it would have had
the Company not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of the consolidated assets
decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than
it otherwise would have had the Company not leveraged. Similarly, any increase
in the consolidated income in excess of consolidated interest payable on the
borrowed funds would cause the net income to increase more than it would without
the leverage, while any decrease in the consolidated income would cause net
income to decline more sharply than it would have had the Company not borrowed.
Changes in Interest Rates May Affect the Cost of Capital.
Because the Company can borrow money to acquire assets and improve them, the
operating income can be dependent upon the rate at which the Company borrow
funds and the return on the projects that use the borrowed funds. As a result,
there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates
will not have a material adverse effect on our operating income. In periods of
rising interest rates, the cost of funds would increase, which would reduce
income.
We May Need to Raise Additional Cash to Complete Our Projects.
The Company may have to make additional cash investments in projects to protect
our overall value in the assets of the Company. The failure to make additional
investments may jeopardize the continued viability of an operating subsidiary,
and our initial (and subsequent) investments. We have no established criteria in
determining whether to make an additional investment except that our management
will exercise its business judgment and apply criteria similar to those used
when making the initial investment. We cannot assure you that we will have
sufficient funds to make any necessary additional investments, which could
adversely affect our success and result in the loss of a substantial portion or
all of our investment in an operating subsidiary.
Risks Relating to Acquisitions
We May Fail to Uncover All Liabilities of Acquisition Targets Through The Due
Diligence Process Prior to an Acquisition, Exposing us to Potentially Large,
Unanticipated Costs.
Prior to the consummation of any acquisition, we perform a due diligence review
of the target in the Real Estate or oil and gas markets we propose to acquire.
Our due diligence review, however, may not adequately uncover all of the
contingent or undisclosed liabilities we may incur as a consequence of the
proposed acquisition.
Special Non-Recurring and Integration Costs Associated with Acquisitions Could
Adversely Affect Our Operating Results in the Periods Following These
Acquisitions.
In connection with some acquisitions, we may incur non-recurring severance
expenses, restructuring charges and change of control payments. These expenses,
charges and payments, as well as the initial costs of integrating the personnel
and facilities of an acquired business with those of our existing operations,
may adversely affect our operating results during the initial financial periods
following an acquisition. In addition, the integration of newly acquired
companies may lead to diversion of management's attention from other ongoing
business concerns.
9
Risks Relating to Common Stock
Our Common Stock Price May Be Volatile.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of
the common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares,
depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be
directly related to our operating performance. These factors include the
following:
o Price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to
time;
o Significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of
securities.
o Actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our
operating results;
o General economic conditions and trends;
o Loss of a major funding source; or
o Departures of key personnel.
Due to the continued potential volatility of our stock price, we may be the
target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could
result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources from
our business.
No Assurance of Public Trading Market and Risk of Low Priced Securities May
Affect Market Value of Our Stock.
The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." Such rules
include Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute "penny stocks"
within the meaning of the rules (as any equity security that has a market price
of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per
share, largely traded in the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink
Sheets), the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which established sales practice requirements for
certain low price securities. Unless the transaction is exempt, it shall be
unlawful for a broker or dealer to sell a penny stock to, or to effect the
purchase of a penny stock by, any person unless prior to the transaction: (i)
the broker or dealer has approved the person's account for transactions in penny
stock pursuant to this rule and (ii) the broker or dealer has received from the
person a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and
quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's
account for transactions in penny stock, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain
from the person information concerning the person's financial situation,
investment experience, and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine that
transactions in penny stock are suitable for that person, and that the person
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person
reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions
in penny stock; (c) deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the
basis on which the broker or dealer made the determination (i) stating in a
highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to affect a
transaction in penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to
the transaction, a written agreement to the transaction from the person; and
(ii) stating in a highlighted format immediately preceding the customer
signature line that (iii) the broker or dealer is required to provide the person
with the written statement; and (iv) the person should not sign and return the
written statement to the broker or dealer if it does not accurately reflect the
person's financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives;
and (d) receive from the person a manually signed and dated copy of the written
statement. It is also required that disclosure be made as to the risks of
investing in penny stock and the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, as
well as current price quotations and the remedies and rights available in cases
of fraud in penny stock transactions. Statements, on a monthly basis, must be
sent to the investor listing recent prices for the penny stock and information
on the limited market.
10
There has been only a limited public market for the common stock of the Company.
Our common stock is currently traded on the Pink Sheets. As a result, an
investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations
as to the market value of our securities. The regulations governing penny
stocks, as set forth above, sometimes limit the ability of broker-dealers to
sell the Company's common stock and thus, ultimately, the ability of the
investors to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Potential shareholders of the Company should also be aware that, according to
SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent
years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the
market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to
the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching
of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler
room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed
bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
We are required to comply with the provisions of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which require us to maintain an ongoing evaluation
and integration of the internal controls of our business. We were required to
document and test our internal controls and certify that we are responsible for
maintaining an adequate system of internal control procedures for the year ended
December 31, 2007. In subsequent years, our independent registered public
accounting firm will be required to opine on those internal controls and
management's assessment of those controls. In the process, we may identify areas
requiring improvement, and we may have to design enhanced processes and controls
to address issues identified through this review.
We evaluated our existing controls for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our
Chief Executive Officer identified material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting and determined that the Company did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The
identified material weaknesses did not result in material audit adjustments to
our 2007 financial statements; however, uncured material weaknesses could
negatively impact our financial statements for subsequent years.
We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully complete the
procedures, certification and attestation requirements of Section 404 or that
our auditors will not have to report a material weakness in connection with the
presentation of our financial statements. If we fail to comply with the
requirements of Section 404 or if our auditors report such material weakness,
the accuracy and timeliness of the filing of our annual report may be materially
adversely affected and could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which could have a negative affect on the trading price
of our common stock. In addition, a material weakness in the effectiveness of
our internal controls over financial reporting could result in an increased
chance of fraud and the loss of customers, reduce our ability to obtain
financing and require additional expenditures to comply with these requirements,
each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Further, we believe that the out-of-pocket costs, the diversion of management's
attention from running the day-to-day operations and operational changes caused
by the need to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act could be significant. If the time and costs associated with such compliance
exceed our current expectations, our results of operations could be adversely
affected.

Schedule of Property Indebtedness
The St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc. property is encumbered by a mortgage with
a fair value of $46,684 at December 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2008 the mortgage
has been paid in full.
Real Estate Taxes and Rates
Upon sale of ECC Vine Acquisition, LLC, no real estate taxes were paid by the
Company.
Capital Improvements
Capital expenditures will be incurred only if cash is available from operations,
advances from an affiliate of the Company, or from Company reserves. To the
extent that capital improvements are completed, the Company's distributable cash
flow, if any, may be adversely affected at least in the short term.
Oil and Gas Properties
On January 10, 2007 Goshen Energy Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% interest in leases of oil and gas
leases from Montreal Energy, Inc. Under terms of the agreement the Company's
subsidiary was to pay $500,000 plus $2,000,000 from revenue of the oil leases in
Goshen. The Company closed on the lease agreement on May 1, 2007.
12
In the first quarter 2007, we paid $200,000 to in repairs and maintenance for an
oil pump. We have expensed that in repairs and maintenance as of September 30,
2007.
On May 8, 2007 we paid $300,000 toward the lease. Payment terms to acquire the
minerals rights included a payment on July 27, 2007. The Company was unable to
make this payment and has subsequent lost its deposit and lease of the oil and
gas properties. We have recorded this loss as loss on investment in our
financial statements.
On November 7, 2007, Goshen Energy signed a joint venture agreement with Native
American Biofuels International representing the bio fuels interest of nearly a
dozen Native American Tribes. The joint venture will facilitate development of
both bio-fuels and other renewable energy resources, and the necessary
infrastructure to implement such a program on tribal lands to produce biodiesel.
As of December 31, 2007, there has been no movement as the terms of the
agreement have not been met.
On November 13, 2007, Goshen Energy signed a distribution agreement with Verde
Bio Fuels, Inc., a South Carolina Corporation, to distribute their bio-diesel
product in the United States. In the agreement Verde committed to purchase up to
10 Million gallons of Goshen B-100 and B-99.9 bio-diesel per year, to distribute
across the United States. Verde also has right of first refusal on any other
U.S. production of Goshen bio-diesel. Under the agreement, Verde will pay all of
the production costs for the fuel it distributes, and the two companies will
split the net profits on the sale of each gallon.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On October 4, 1999 the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in
Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff, Engineering & Wireless Services, Inc.
("EWS") demanded payment of $27,748.71 for services rendered to the Company in
1996 and 1997. The Company's President at the time, John C. Spradley, had
written a check for this same amount on April 2, 1997 that was returned, unpaid
and marked "NSF". Mr. Spradley wrote this check without proper authority by the
Company, and actually was strictly forbidden by a board resolution to write any
checks in excess of $5,000. The writing of the check to EWS left the Company
legally obligated to honor this check. The Company has not had any
communications with any of the parties of this suit for over 3 years.
On December 1, 1999, EWS was granted a final default judgment in the amount of
$37,214.27, which included $9,249.56 in attorney fees. The Company was notified
of such judgment and was not in a position to pay it. On June 9, 2001, a writ of
execution was issued by the Third District Court of the State of Utah directing
the Salt Lake County Sheriff to collect $39,521.00 from the Company; this amount
included post judgment costs of $1,412.44 and other costs of $894.29.
On July 19, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with EWS. The
Company agreed to pay EWS $31,000 over a four month period and issued to EWS
45,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has made the initial
payment of $5,000 and delivered the stock due to EWS; but no other payments
under the settlement were made. The Company has not reached an agreement with
EWS nor has it pursued any agreement. The Company has been unable during the
past 4 years to contact EWS to discuss any resolution of this matter.
On July 28, 2007, the Company was named as a defendant is a lawsuit filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia Division by the Granite Companies, Inc. The Granite Companies
contend that City Capital entered into an agreement to purchase the membership
interests of The Granite Companies and continue to operate the entity, together
with an agreement to honor certain outstanding liabilities. The complaint
alleges that City Capital breached its contractual obligation and also should be
found liable for fraud relating to the transaction. $1,238,719, together with
punitive damages and any other relief deemed appropriate by the Court are being
sought. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and several
other pre-discovery motions have been filed.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On November 8, 2007 the Company presented for the shareholders' approval a
resolution for a reverse split of the Corporation's outstanding common stock on
a twenty five to one (25 to 1) basis. On December 12, 2007 and subsequent to the
approval of its shareholders the Company reversed all common stock 25 to 1.

of common stock. All 80,000,000 shares of common stock authorized under this
plan have been registered under a Form S-8's filed with the SEC. As of December

OVERVIEW
The Company is engaged in leveraging investments, holdings and other assets to
create self-sufficiency for communities around the country and the world. City
Capital currently manages diverse assets and holdings including real estate
developments and buying, selling and drilling oil and gas properties.
16
City Capital makes strategic investments and acquisitions that will yield a
positive return on investment. Our intent is to acquire assets at a significant
discount to market, and then rebuild them for sale or cash flow. These
investments will also serve the communities we operate in by creating economic
opportunities for underserved populations. Through the Goshen Energy subsidiary
we are identifying opportunities within the Bio Fuel market domestically and
internationally.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 6, 2007 the Company organized City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC. The
Company was organized to purchase, renovate and sell distressed properties
across the country. Homes are targeted for purchase and renovation for at least
65% of the After Repaired Value. This subsidiary was discontinued in exchange
for debt restructuring with the Lucien group in the fourth quarter of 2007.
The Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with Lucian Group on October
13, 2006. On June 12, 2007, the Company terminated the agreement without
penalty.
On August 13, 2007 the Company entered into a several agreements wherein in it
assigned its obligations under eighteen promissory notes to the Lucian Group, a
New York corporation. The promissory notes have an aggregate principal amount of
approximately $4,478,000 and assignment was consented to by all promissory note
holders. Consenting Promissory Note Holders were issued shares of common stock
in the Company at the rate of one share for each dollar of principal assigned, a
total of 4,477,891 shares pre-split (179,116 post split) of which 4,377,703
pre-split (175,108 post split) were issued in November 2007. In consideration of
the assumption of the Promissory Note liabilities, the Company assigned and
transferred to the Lucian Group, its 100% ownership interests in three limited
liability companies. The limited liability companies are: ECC Vine Street Real
Estate Acquisitions, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company; City Capital
Rehabilitation, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company; and The Hough
Initiative, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company. The Company issued 600,000
shares (post split) of its common stock to the Lucian Group upon closing of the
agreements. The shares to the Lucian Group were issued in November 2007.
The purpose and effect of the transactions were to reduce the Company's
liabilities by approximately $4,916,000 of notes payable and related interest.
On May 1, 2007 the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Interest
Purchase Agreement with The Granite Companies LLC, a Pennsylvania limited
liability company to acquire all of the issued and outstanding limited liability
company interests (the "Interests") of Granite Custom Builders LLC, a
Pennsylvania limited liability company ("Custom Builders"), Granite Real Estate
Acquisition Company LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company
("Acquisition"), and Granite Real Estate Investment Company LLC, a Pennsylvania
limited liability company (collectively Granite).
The Company paid $150,000 as a non-refundable deposit and $31,817 of other
operating expenses on behalf of Granite.
On May 23, 2007, after performing additional due diligence the Company
determined that it was not in their best interest to continue with the
acquisition and so notified Granite. We have expensed the $181,817 as a loss on
investment as of December 31, 2007.
During 2007 we have loaned money or paid expenses principally consisting of
legal and accounting fees on behalf of PFDC, a Company that we are completing
due diligence in anticipation of acquisition. We have recorded these items as
notes receivable as we anticipated applying the amount to the acquisition price
at closing. In the fourth quarter of 2007 we determined that the potential
acquisition was not feasible to the addition costs involved to development and
our current financial situation and we expensed the $81,744 as a loss on
investment as of December 31, 2007.
17
On October 1, 2007, the Company was granted St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc.,
that consists of an apartment building in Cleveland, Ohio for no cash
consideration as the seller was unable to fund the property. The Company assumed
approximately $420,000 in accounts payable, accrued liabilities with this
transaction.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies
have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements,
which we discuss under the heading "Results of Operations" following this
section of our MD&A. Some of our accounting policies require us to make
difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting
estimates include the assessment of our long lived asset evaluation.
We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more
significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements:
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long Lived Assets," the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory
and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate
that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company did not record
valuation adjustments on land inventory as of December 31, 2007 as no triggering
event or impairment had occurred. Due to the commitment to sell the subsidiaries
in which our land resides, we have presented this asset in assets held for sale.
Results of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2006
Results of operations consist of the following:
December 31, 2007 December 31, 2006 $ Change % Change
----------------- ----------------- -------- --------
Net Revenues $ 163,447 $ -- $ 163,447 100%
Cost of Revenues 15,905 15,905 100%
-------------- ----------- ------------ ---------
Gross Profit 147,542 -- 147,542 100%

Administrative Costs 6,106,636 822,141 5,284,495 643%
-------------- ----------- ------------ ---------
Net Operating Loss $ (5,959,094) $ (822,141) $ (5,136,953) 625%
|
The results of operations reflected in this discussion include historical
operations of the Company as a BDC during the period July 1, 2006 through
December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2007 through January 3, 2007 and not as a BDC
during January 4, 2007 through December 31, 2007. Thus the results which are
indicatives of the Company's results may not be comparative as to operations.
(a) Revenues and Cost of Revenue.
The Company reported zero revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated revenues of $163,447
representing $35,659 of rental revenue for the three months that we have owned
the St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc., $90,084 for twelve months of consulting
revenue and $37,704 relating to royalties related to a failed gas and oil
project. Cost of revenue was zero for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to $15,905 as of December 31, 2007. The cost of revenues for 2007 represents the
cost of revenues for the three months that we have owned the St. Clair Superior
Apartment, Inc. Revenues and cost of revenue was the result of the Company's
changing from a BDC to operating company as of January 3, 2007.
18
(b) Operating, General, and Administrative Expenses.
The operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $822,141. This
compares to operating expenses for the same period in 2007 totaling $6,106,314.
The majority of the increase for the year ending December 31, 2007 over December
31, 2006 was attributable to consulting cost of $4,235,244, repairs and
maintenance of $204,800 and marketing and investor relation expense of $694,716;
all other costs were relatively comparable. Of our operating, general and
administrative expenses we issued stock for services of $3,239,518. At the end
of the second quarter of 2007, most of our outstanding consulting agreements
were cancelled due to a downturn in business. We continue to engage limited
consultants for securities and exchange reporting regulatory purposes,
accounting and administration, and other business purposes where needed, but
continue to conserve funds were ever possible.
(c) Non-operating expense (income).
The Company incurred interest expense (net of interest income) of ($165,690) for
the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $1,017,813 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The fluctuation in interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 2007 is due interest related to the $4,478,000 worth of notes that
were assigned to the Lucien group.
Loss of investment for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $563,560
compared to $0 at December 31, 2006. The Company incurred a loss on investment
of $300,000 on a Goshen investment due to not being able to make payments for an
oil and gas lease. Partially due to this management has refocused Goshen into
green fuels, such as biofuel, wind and solar. The Company paid $150,000 as a
non-refundable deposit and $31,817 of other operating expenses on behalf of
Granite (previous discussed) which were also included in our loss of investment.
Finally, after further due diligence, approximately $82,000 related to PFDC was
accounted for as loss on investment as the project was not deemed feasible.

Debentures and Debt Derivative
|
We have financed our operations during the period primarily through use of cash
on hand and issuance of common stock, including conversion of notes to common
stock and assignment of eighteen promissory notes to the Lucian Group, a New
York corporation. As of December 31, 2007, we had total current liabilities of
$3,288,319 compared to $1,855,747 as of December 31, 2006. The increase in
current liabilities is primarily due to a significant increase in Notes Payable
and an Unsecured Liability offset by a decrease in our Convertible Debentures as
several of our debenture holders elected to convert their notes to common stock.
Cash decreased as of December 31, 2007 due to the above. Our debt load will put
considerable strain on our cash resources for 2008.
19
As of December 31, 2007, our Notes Receivable- related party increased to
$2,131,780 compared to $138,636 at December 31, 2006. The President of the
Company is also the President and a shareholder of the debtor. The Company and
the debtor have been discussing this matter and are studying potential forms of
consolidation or amalgamation which would eliminate the outstanding debt. The
Company has requested an independent study of the matter with recommendations
being presented for resolution. Payments toward this note where received in the
fourth quarter of 2007.
We had $45,499 cash on hand as of December 31, 2007 compared to $12,026 as of
December 31, 2006. Due to our cash and debt balances at December 31, 2007 we
have taken measures to reduce costs (including cancelling all non-essential
consulting contracts), decrease our debt (assignment of eighteen promissory
notes to the Lucian Group, a New York corporation) and look for other ways to
improve our cash flows. We will continue to need additional cash during the
following twelve months and these needs will coincide with the cash demands
resulting from our general operations and planned expansion. There is no
assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital as required, or
obtain the capital on acceptable terms and conditions.
If we are unable to fund ourselves through profitable operations or the ability
to raise capital we may not continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
The Company does not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On October 24, 2007, the firm Spector & Wong, LLP, of Pasadena, California, was
engaged by the Company's board of directors as the principal accountant to audit
the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year of the ended December 31,
2007. On October 1, 2007, the firm De Joya Griffith and Company, LLC who were
previously engaged as the principle auditors of the Company's financial
statements, resigned.
The decision to change independent accountants was approved by the Board of
Directors who functions as the Audit Committee of the Company on October 24,
2007.
During our most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding
such change in accountants, there were no disagreements with De Joya Griffith &
Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure (within the meaning of Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K), and there were no reportable events (as
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
On February 5, 2007, the firm De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC, of Henderson,
Nevada, was engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's
financial statements for the fiscal year of the Company ended December 31, 2006,
and George Brenner, C.P.A., the independent accountant who was previously
engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements,
resigned.
The reports of De Joya Griffith & Company, LLC for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principle.
The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to George Brenner,
C.P.A. prior to the date of filing this report and requested that he provide it
with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether or not he agrees with the statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the
letter furnished in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 of the
Form 8-k.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of City Capital Corporation is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
- Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company;
- Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and
- Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
21
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems,
no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the
inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material
misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal
control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known
features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design
into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework.
WE EXPECT TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING MATERICAL WEAKNESSES - INFORMATION AND
COMMUNICATION, SEGREGATION OF DUTIES AND POSSIBLY FINANCIAL REPORTING
Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following internal control deficiencies during its
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2007:
1. We did not have effective comprehensive entity-level internal controls
specific to the structure of our Company to ensure adequate, timely
and accurate communication and information flow; and,
2. We did not have formal policies governing certain accounting
transactions and financial reporting processes.
An independent consulting firm assisted management with its assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including scope
determination, planning, staffing, documentation, testing, remediation and
retesting and overall program management of the assessment project. In
conclusion, our Chief Executive Officer determined that City Capital Corporation
did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
We are in the process of evaluating our material deficiencies. We have already
begun to remediation procedures of these deficiencies. However, others may
require additional people, which will take longer to remediate.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other
deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to
initiate, the following series of measures:
1. Identify a communication process such that transactions entered into
by executive management are communicated in a timely and effective
manner to avoid unnecessary financial reporting delays and
adjustments;
2. Establish comprehensive formal general accounting policies and
procedures and require employees, or consultants in areas such as
Accounting, Reporting and Administration, to facilitate sign off such
policies and procedures with executive management as documentation of
their understanding of and compliance with City Capital Corporation
policies; and,
5. Finalize formal policies governing accounting transaction and
financial reporting processes which were started as part of this
endeavor.
22
We anticipate that the above initiatives will be at least partially, if not
fully, implemented by June 30, 2008. Additionally, we plan to test our updated
controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2008.
Conclusion
The above identified material weaknesses did not result in material audit
adjustments to our 2007 financial statements. However, it is reasonably possible
that, if not remediated, one or more of the identified material weaknesses noted
above could result in a material misstatement in our reported financial
statements that might result in a material misstatement in a future annual or
interim period.
Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
There were no significant changes in the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, or in factors that could significantly affect those controls and
procedures, since their most recent evaluation.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.
The Company has adopted two equity compensation plans and amended as one,
neither of which has been approved by the Company's shareholders:
(a) Employee Stock Incentive Plan.
On March 5, 2002, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (this
plan was amended on November 20, 2002 and March 29, 2007 as an Employee,
Directors and Consultants Stock Option Program). This plan is intended to allow
designated officers, employees, directors and outside consultants of the Company
to certain options to purchase company common stock. The purpose of this plan is
to provide these persons with equity-based compensation incentives to make
significant and extraordinary contributions to the long-term performance and
growth of the Company, and to attract and retain employees. All 20,000,000
shares of common stock authorized under this plan have been registered under a
Form S-8's filed with the SEC. The options are exercisable at whatever price is
established by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, on the date of
the grant. No options have been granted under this plan.
Non-Employee Directors and Consultants Retainer Stock Plan.
On March 5, 2001, the Company adopted a Non-Employee Directors and Consultants
Retainer Stock Plan (Amendment No. 3 was adopted on July 1, 2004 and Amendment
No. 4 was adopted on March 29, 2007). The purposes of the plan are to enable the
Company to promote the interests of the company by attracting and retaining
non-employee directors and consultants capable of furthering the business of the
company and by aligning their economic interests more closely with those of the
company's shareholders, by paying their retainer or fees in the form of shares
of common stock. All 80,000,000 shares of common stock authorized under this
plan have been registered under a Form S-8's filed with the SEC. As of December
31, 2006, there are no shares remaining to be issued under the initial plan with
20,000,000 available under the plan amended March 29, 2007. As of December 31,
2007, there were 18,397,796 shares available under the March 29, 2007 amended
plan.
28
When the Company converted to a BDC, and under the 1940 Act it was prohibited
from issuing stock or options for services, so it deregister all of the
remaining registered shares under the Employee Stock Incentive Plan as the rules
under which it operates do not allow for such issuances. Subsequent to the
filing of the Company ending its status as a BDC the Company amended it
employees and consultants stock option program on March 29, 2007 through the
filing of a Form S-8.
ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
Other than as set forth below, during the last two fiscal years there
have not been any relationships, transactions, or proposed transactions to which
the Company was or is to be a party, in which any of the directors, officers, or
5% or greater shareholders (or any immediate family thereof) had or is to have a
direct or indirect material interest.
On October 1, 2004, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr.
Borglund (see Exhibit 10.5). Under the terms of this three-year contract, Mr.
Borglund is to be paid $80,000 per year, subject to review by the Company's
Compensation Committee on an annual basis with regard to the possibility of an
increase in base salary; provided, however, the base salary is not to be
decreased. In addition, he is eligible to receive an annual bonus; beginning in
2005, the target amount for the annual bonus is not less than 10% of the base
salary, subject to review by the Company's Compensation Committee on an annual
basis with regard to the possibility of an increased annual bonus and subject to
the caveat that the Company's financial performance could result in a decrease
or elimination of the Annual Bonus for any year(s).
Under the agreement, Mr. Borglund is to be granted options to purchase 50,000
shares of the Company common stock (the term of the option is ten years and will
vest 25% annually beginning on the first anniversary of the effective date. The
stock option price shall be the fair market value of the Company's common stock
on the effective date. The options were not granted. The employment agreement
was terminated on December 31, 2006.
On August 24, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with Amorocorp, Inc.
(Contractor) where by Amorocorp supplies management and financial services
including accounting and legal services to the Company. Under the terms of the
agreement the Company pays the Contractor $ 100,000 per month for the services
it renders to the Company. The Chairman and CEO of the Company is also the
President and a shareholder of the Contractor. As of December 31, 2006 the
Company had prepaid Amorocorp $ 138,363. This agreement was terminated on June
30, 2007.
On April 19, 2006 the Company entered into an agreement with Ephren Capital, Inc
to acquire 100% of ECC Vine Street Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC (ECC Vine) as
an operating subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement Ephren Capital, Inc
exchanged all of their outstanding units for common shares of the Company. In
addition, the Company will receive future considerations for the shares issued.
On July 1, 2006 the Company's shareholders approved the merger agreement between
the Company and ECC Vine. On July 31, 2006 the Company completed the acquisition
of ECC Vine and issued 269,255 shares of the Company's stock to the unit holders
of ECC Vine; 170,392 shares for the acquisition of the ECC Vine and 99,396
shares for a stock subscription receivable. The Company disposed of ECC Vine
Street Acquisition, LLC on November 2007. The Company incurred a loss on
discontinued operations of $1,792,302.
For each of the transactions noted above, the transaction was negotiated, on the
part of the Company, on the basis of what is in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders. In addition, in each case the interested affiliate
did vote in favour of the transaction; however, the full board of directors did
make the determination that the terms in each case were as favourable as could
have been obtained from non-affiliated parties.
Certain of our directors are engaged in other businesses, either individually or
through corporations in which they have an interest, hold an office, or serve on
a board of directors. As a result, certain conflicts of interest may arise
between the Company and such directors. The Company will attempt to resolve such
conflicts of interest in our favor.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of City Capital
Corporation as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of City
Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors
whose report dated April 17, 2007, on those statements included an explanatory
paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of City Capital
Corporation as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the
Company's ability to continue in the normal course of business is dependent upon
the success of future operations. The Company has recurring losses, substantial
working capital deficiency, stockholders' deficit and negative cash flows from
operations. In addition, default in certain notes payable, recent withdraw as a
business development company and commencement of new operations raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 2. These
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of City Capital Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of City Capital Corporation
("Company") as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of changes in
net assets, operations, changes in stockholders deficit, cash flows, and
financial highlights and for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
my audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit
provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
As set forth in the "Schedule of Investments", included in the financial
statements, an investment amounting to $1,179,191 at December 31, 2006 has been
valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors. We have reviewed
the procedures applied by the Board of Directors in valuing such investments and
have inspected underlying documentation; while in the circumstances the
procedures appear to be reasonable and the documentation appropriate,
determination of fair value involves subjective judgment which is not
susceptible to substantiation by the audit process.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the year ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and negative cash flows. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

CITY CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: HISTORY OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation and Organization.
The Company was incorporated on July 24, 1984, in Nevada as Diversified
Ventures, Ltd. From 1984 through November 3, 2003 the Company went through
various name changes and business ventures. On November 3, 2003 the Company
changed its name from Justwebit.com, Inc. to Synthetic Turf Corporation, to
reflect the change in core business that was anticipated at the time. On
December 4, 2006, the Company changed its name to City Capital Corporation. In
2007, the Company withdrew its status as a business development company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission resulting in a dramatic change of business
focus in the past year. For information on the Company during its business
development company stage, see Form 10-KSB for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 as
filed with the SEC. Currently City Capital Corporation manages diverse assets
and holdings including real estate developments and the buying, selling and
drilling of oil and gas properties. As we are at the initial stages of many of
our project in the real estate and oil and gas industries, both segments of
business are important in the overall make up of City Capital Corporation.
As used in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms the
"Company", "we", "us", "our" and similar terms refer to City Capital Corporation
and, unless the context indicates otherwise its consolidated subsidiaries. The
Companies subsidiaries include Goshen Energy, Inc. ("Goshen"), a Nevada
corporation who engages in the buying, selling, and drilling of oil and gas was
organized on August 10, 2006; and the St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc., an
Ohio corporation, organized February 23, 2000, that is an apartment complex.
Goshen remained dormant until the first quarter of 2007.
Effective December 1, 2004 the Company commenced operating as a Business
Development Company ("BDC") under Section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act"). On November 11, 2006 the Company presented for shareholder
approval a resolution to withdraw the Company's election to continue to operate
as a Business Development Company. On December 11, 2006 and subsequent to the
approval of its shareholders the Company filed form 14-C with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to withdraw its status as a BDC. Subsequent to this filing
the withdrawal became effective on January 3, 2007.
Although the nature of the Company's operations and its reported financial
position, results of operations and cash flows are dissimilar for the periods
subsequent to becoming a BDC, its unaudited operating results and cash flows for
the periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 are presented in the
accompanying financial statements pursuant to Regulation S-B.
On March 29, 2007 the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Perfect Turf
disposing of the last segment of the turf business. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company's notes payable and convertible debentures plus accrued
interest was reduced by $191,225. The Company incurred a loss of $64,170 on the
disposition of the investment subsidiary.
On April 19, 2006 the Company acquired ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC. This
operating subsidiary specialized in the redevelopment of inner city land through
the construction and sale of residential and commercial buildings. The Company
disposed of ECC Vine Street Acquisition, LLC on November 2007. The Company
incurred a loss on discontinued operations of $113,478. This entity was
discontinued in exchange for debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2007.
On April 6, 2007 the Company organized City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC. The
Company was organized to purchase, renovate and sell distressed properties
across the country. The Company discontinued City Capital Rehabilitation, LLC in
November 2007, incurring a gain on discontinued operations of $205,531.This
entity was disposed in association with the exchange for debt restructuring in
the fourth quarter of 2007.
F-9
On October 1, 2007, the Company was granted St. Clair Superior Apartment, Inc.,
that consists of an apartment building in Cleveland, Ohio for no cash
consideration as the seller was unable to fund the property. The Company assumed
approximately $420,000 in accounts payable, accrued liabilities with this
transaction.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
The Company has not generated any significant revenue during the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 and has funded its operation primarily through the
issuance of debt and equity. Accordingly, the Company's ability to accomplish
its business strategy and to ultimately achieve profitable operations is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In
addition, our recent withdraw as a BDC and commencement of new operations raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Presentation.
Effective December 1, 2004 the Company commenced operating as a Business
Development Company ("BDC") under Section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act"). On November 11, 2006 the Company presented for shareholder
approval a resolution to withdraw the Company's election to continue to operate
as a Business Development Company. On December 11, 2006 and subsequent to the
approval of its shareholders the Company filed form 14-C with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to withdraw its status as a BDC. Subsequent to this filing
the withdrawal became effective on January 3, 2007.
The financial statements contained herein reflect the results of the Company as
an operating company during the year ended 2007 and as a BDC Company during the
year ended 2006. The financials do not break out the periods during the year
ended 2007 when the Company was an operating company and when the Company was a
BDC.
Under the rules governing a BDC, the Company does not consolidate the results of
its portfolio companies but assigns a fair market value as determined by the
board of directors to these operations. The results of the portfolio companies
are not included in the statements of the Company and are carried only as an
investment on the balance sheet of the Company during the time it was a BDC. In
2007, with the election to withdraw from BDC status we consolidated ECC Vine, a
company that we had previously held as Investment in Portfolio Companies, and
recognized the net loss of that company as a direct debit to our retained
earnings.
Do to our withdraw from conducting business as a business development company,
we have restated our statement of shareholders' equity for comparability
purposes.
Stock Based Compensation.
Shares of the Company's common stock were issued for services. These issuances
are valued at the fair market value of the services provided and the number of
shares issued is determined based upon what the price of the common stock is on
the date of each respective transaction. For those transactions without a fair
market value in the service contract, we value the shares issued for services at
the fair market value of our common stock on the date the total number of shares
is known.
Estimates.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 these estimates.
F-10
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
The carrying amounts for the Company's cash, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities and current portion of long term debt approximate fair value due to
the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Concentrations.
The Company maintains cash balances at highly-rated financial institutions
through out the United States. Accounts at each institution are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $100,000. At December 31,
2007 and 2006 the Company did not have any accounts in excess of the $100,000
insured amount.
Accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable relate to rental income of our subsidiary the St. Clair
Superior Apartment, Inc. and are evaluated each accounting period for
collectability. As of December 31, 2007 no reserves for collectability were
required.
Impairment of long-lived assets.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long Lived Assets," the Company records valuation adjustments on land inventory
and related communities under development when events and circumstances indicate
that they may be impaired and when the cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company did not record
valuation adjustments on land inventory as of September 30, 2007 as no
triggering event or impairment had occurred. Due to the commitment to sell the
subsidiaries in which our land resides, we have presented this asset in assets
held for sale.
Property and Buildings.
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Estimated
service lives of property and buildings is 30 years.
Goodwill and Intangibles.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and other
intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business
acquisitions. In 2007, the Company's annual goodwill impairment test did not
identify an impairment of goodwill.
Income Taxes.
Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in
accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," and clarified by FIN
48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all
temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences
are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment.
Loss Per Share.
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share". The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each
period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is
computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential
common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of
employee stock options and stock issuable upon conversion of convertible
debentures, and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in
periods where the Company has incurred a net loss.
F-11
Revenue.
As of December 31, 2007 our revenues consisted of consulting fees recognized
when earned and rental revenue recognized in when earned in accordance with the
under residential rent lease agreement.
Derivatives.
The Company occasionally issues financial instruments that contain an embedded
instrument, such as a conversion feature. At inception, the Company assesses
whether the economic characteristics of the embedded derivative instrument are
clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the financial
instrument (host contract), whether the financial instrument that embodies both
the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is currently measured
at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings, and whether a
separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet
the definition of a derivative instrument.
If the embedded derivative instrument is determined not to be clearly and
closely related to the host contract, is not currently measured at fair value
with changes in fair value reported in earnings, and the embedded derivative
instrument would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative
instrument is recorded apart from the host contract and carried at fair value
with changes recorded in current-period earnings. As of December 31, 2007 and
2006 we determined that the conversion feature of our convertible debentures
qualified for this treatment. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 the change in the
fair value of debt derivative as reported in our statement operations was $7,710
and $82,897, respectively.
Reclassifications.
Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net loss, have been made in
the prior period financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
Specifically, $138,363 of Notes Receivable - Related Party was reclassified from
Other Assets into Notes Receivable - Related Party.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair
values. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial results of the Company.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements" (SAB 108), which addresses how to quantify the effect of financial
statement errors. The provisions of SAB 108 become effective as of the end of
our 2007 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a
significant impact on our financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115" (FAS 159). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and
disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities. The provisions of FAS 159 become effective as of the beginning of
our 2009 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact that FAS 159 will
have on our financial statements.
F-12
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes" ("APB 20") and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements", and changes the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in
the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those
provisions should be followed. The correction of an error in previously issued
financial statements is not an accounting change. However, the reporting of an
error correction involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements
similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change
retrospectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction of an error by
restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed by SFAS No.
154.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS 160").
SFAS 160 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such
interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate from the parent's equity.
The noncontrolling interest's portion of net income must also be clearly
presented on the Income Statement. SFAS 160 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscals years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will
be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We do not
expect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operation.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), "Business Combinations
(revised 2007)" ("SFAS 141 (R)"). SFAS 141 (R) applies the acquisition method of
accounting for business combinations established in SFAS 141 to all acquisitions
where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether
consideration was exchanged. Consistent with SFAS 141, SFAS 141 (R) requires the
acquirer to fair value the assets and liabilities of the acquiree and record
goodwill on bargain purchases, with main difference the application to all
acquisitions where control is achieved. SFAS 141 (R) is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be
adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We do not
expect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operation.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS 161
applies to all derivative instruments and nonderivative instruments that are
designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 42
of SFAS 133 and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133. SFAS 161
requires entities to provide greater transparency through additional disclosures
about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its
related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
SFAS 161 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2008. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 161
will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation.
NOTE 4: DEPOSIT

entered into an agreement to acquire a 60% interest in leases of oil and gas

rate of 9.5% and a maturity of three years. The notes contain a convertible
feature allowing the holder to convert their debt and accrued interest at any

we have bifurcated the conversion feature from the host debt instrument in
accordance with EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock", accounted for
these conversion features as derivative instruments, and valued these conversion
features using the Black Scholes valuation model. Inputs to the Black Scholes

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48), which supplements SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," by defining the confidence level that a tax
position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The
Interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if
it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained based solely on its technical
merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold represents a
positive assertion by management that a company is entitled to the economic
benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered
more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits no
benefits of the tax position are to be recognized. Moreover, the
more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period
to support continued recognition of a benefit. With the adoption of FIN 48,
companies are required to adjust their financial statements to reflect only
those tax positions that are more-likely-than-not to be sustained. Any necessary
adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings and reported as a
change in accounting principle.
The components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2007 and
2006 are as follows:
2007 2006
----------- -----------
Net operating loss carry forward $ 6,836,000 $ 4,373,000
Valuation allowance (6,836,000) (4,373,000)

Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income
tax amount recorded is as follows:
2007 2006
----------- -----------
Tax at statutory rate (35%) $ 2,463,000 $ 946,000
Increase in valuation allowance (2,463,000) (946,000)
----------- -----------
Net deferred tax asset $ -- $ --
=========== ===========
|
Upon adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company had no gross
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the
effective income tax rate in future periods. At December 31, 2007 the amount of
gross unrecognized tax benefits before valuation allowances and the amount that
would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods after
valuation allowances were $0. These amounts consider the guidance in FIN 48-1,
"Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48". The Company has not
accrued any additional interest or penalties as a result of the adoption of FIN
48.
No tax benefit has been reported in connection with the net operating loss carry
forwards in the consolidated financial statements as the Company believes it is
more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will expire
unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry
forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Net operating
loss carry forwards start to expire in 2021.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction
and certain states in the United States. With a few exceptions, the Company is
no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examination by
tax authorities on tax returns filed before January 31, 2004. The Company has
not filed its 2005 or 2006 tax returns and is working with its tax accountant to
rectify this. The Company will file its U.S. federal return for the year ended
December 31, 2007 upon the issuance of this filing and the filing of the 2005
and 2006 tax returns. These U.S. federal returns are considered open tax years
as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. No tax returns are
currently under examination by any tax authorities. The Company has not accrued
any additional interest or penalties as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 or
the delinquency of our outstanding tax returns as we have incurred net losses in
those periods still outstanding.

("Acquisition"), and Granite Real Estate Investment Company LLC, a Pennsylvania
limited liability company (collectively Granite).
The Company paid $150,000 as a non-refundable deposit and $31,817 of other
operating expenses on behalf of Granite.
On May 23, 2007, after performing additional due diligence the Company
determined that it was not in their best interest to continue with the
acquisition and so notified Granite. We have expensed $181,817 as loss on
investment as of December 31, 2007.
During 2007 we have loaned money or paid expenses principally consisting of
legal and accounting fees on behalf of PFDC, a Company that we are completing
due diligence in anticipation of acquisition. We have recorded these items as
notes receivable as we anticipated applying the amount to the acquisition price
at closing. In the fourth quarter of 2007 we determined that the potential
acquisition was not feasible to the addition costs involved to development and
our current financial situation and we expensed the $81,744 as a loss on
investment as of December 31, 2007.

NOTE 19: CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 2004, the Company was advised that the parties with whom the Company
negotiated a settlement and disposition of its former turf installation business
are dissatisfied with the results of the settlement transaction and have not
returned to the Company, for cancellation, the 4,000 restricted shares of the
Company's common stock, adjusted for the stock split, as required by the
settlement agreement, notwithstanding the performance by the Company of the
obligations imposed on the Company by the settlement agreement. Accordingly, the
Company does not believe, based on its assessment, that it is necessary to make
any provisions in its financial statements for any possible adverse result. As
of December 31, 2007 the shares have not been returned to the Company.
On October 4, 1999 the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in
Jefferson County, Texas. The plaintiff, Engineering & Wireless Services, Inc.
("EWS") demanded payment of $27,748.71 for services rendered to the Company in
1996 and 1997. The Company's President at the time, John C. Spradley, had
written a check for this same amount on April 2, 1997 that was returned, unpaid
and marked "NSF". Mr. Spradley wrote this check without proper authority by the
Company, and actually was strictly forbidden by a board resolution to write any
checks in excess of $5,000. The writing of the check to EWS left the Company
legally obligated to honor this check. The Company has not had any
communications with any of the parties of this suit for over 3 years.
On December 1, 1999, EWS was granted a final default judgment in the amount of
$37,214.27, which included $9,249.56 in attorney fees. The Company was notified
of such judgment and was not in a position to pay it. On June 9, 2001, a writ of
execution was issued by the Third District Court of the State of Utah directing
the Salt Lake County Sheriff to collect $39,521.00 from the Company; this amount
included post judgment costs of $1,412.44 and other costs of $894.29.
On July 19, 2000, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with EWS. The
Company agreed to pay EWS $31,000 over a four month period and issued to EWS
45,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has made the initial
payment of $5,000 and delivered the stock due to EWS; but no other payments
under the settlement were made. The Company has not reached an agreement with
EWS nor has it pursued any agreement. The Company has been unable during the
past 4 years to contact EWS to discuss any resolution of this matter.
On July 28, 2007, the Company was named as a defendant is a lawsuit filed in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia Division by the Granite Companies, Inc. The Granite Companies
contend that City Capital entered into an agreement to purchase the membership
interests of The Granite Companies and continue to operate the entity, together
with an agreement to honor certain outstanding liabilities. The complaint
alleges that City Capital breached its contractual obligation and also should be
found liable for fraud relating to the transaction. $1,238,719, together with
punitive damages and any other relief deemed appropriate by the Court are being
sought. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and several
other pre-discovery motions have been filed. The case is on-going and management
is vigorously pursuing its defense.
NOTE 20: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION REVIEW
On December 12, 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) initiated a
field audit of the Company. The review was conducted under Section 31 (b) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 pursuant to the company electing to become a
Business Development Company. On March 28, 2006 the Company received a letter
from the SEC indicating the need to revise unspecified practices and procedures
and that certain points were still under review. The Company has continued it
cooperation with the SEC curing deficiencies that may have been note including
the filing of a 10-K/A on August 8, 2006 and a 10-Q/A on August 11, 2006. As of
December 31, 2007 there has been no further communication with the SEC regarding
this matter.
