American Commerce Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of August 31, 2011 and for the

Three and Six Months Ended August 31, 2011 and 2010

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

American Commerce Solutions, Inc., located and operating in West Central Florida, was incorporated in Rhode Island in 1991 under the name Jaque Dubois, Inc., and was re-incorporated in Delaware in 1994. In July 1995, Jaque Dubois, Inc. changed its name to JD American Workwear, Inc. In December 2000, the stockholders voted at the annual stockholders meeting to change the name of JD American Workwear, Inc. to American Commerce Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”).

The Company is primarily a holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary; International Machine and Welding, Inc. is engaged in the machining and fabrication of parts used in heavy industry, and parts sales and service for heavy construction equipment.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company recorded losses from continuing operations of $57,617 and $127,227 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2011. Current liabilities exceed current assets by $780,814 at August 31, 2011. Additionally, the Company is in default on several notes payable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, raise additional capital, and obtain debt financing.

Management has revised its business strategy to include expansion into other lines of business through the acquisition of other companies in exchange for the Company’s stock to facilitate manufacturing contracts under negotiation. In conjunction with the anticipated new contracts, management is currently negotiating new debt and equity financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts at more favorable terms, to finance operations, and to complete additional business acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

At August 31, 2011, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, both which have been approved by the shareholders.

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

The value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. There were no options granted or exercised during the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010.

5. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, (b) the financial position at August 31, 2011, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, have been made.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, FACTORED

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2011, the Company factored receivables of approximately $191,600 and $470,700, respectively. In connection with the factoring agreement, the Company incurred fees of approximately $8,300 and $15,200 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2011, respectively. Any and all of the Company’s indebtedness and obligations to the Factoring Company is guaranteed by two stockholders and collateralized by the Company’s inventory and fixed assets.

7. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

	August 31, 2011			February 28, 2011
Work-in process		$	8,571		$	10,310
Finished goods			218,911			203,247
Raw materials			—			—
Total inventories		$	227,482		$	213,557

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, two executives who are stockholders of the Company deferred $58,100 and $116,200, respectively, of compensation earned during the period. The balance due to stockholders at August 31, 2011 and 2010, totaled $1,888,510 and $1,656,110, respectively. The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and have no specific repayment terms; however, the Company does not expect to repay these amounts within the next year.

During the six months ended August 31, 2010, the Company issued 45,773,010 shares of common stock to a related party and related company valued at $66,142 in exchange for guarantees of a note payable. As of August 31, 2010 $34,108 of these guaranty fees has been amortized.

Certain notes to related parties have conversion features, whereby, at the holder’s option, the notes may be converted, in whole or in part upon written notice, into the Company’s common shares at a discount to the fair market value. The Company considered the value of the beneficial conversion features of the notes, and when deemed material, recorded the beneficial conversion value as deferred financing costs and amortized the amount over the period of the loan, charging interest expense. The convertible notes are to related parties, who have the majority of the voting rights. The related parties have waived their conversion rights since the inception of these notes until such time that the Company’s market price of shares rise sufficiently or the Company amends the capital structure (through a reverse split or increase in the authorized shares) or combination of all factors, whereby a conversion of any single note, or portion thereof, will not exceed the authorized shares of the Company.

During the six months ended August 31, 2011, the Company consolidated $499,753 of notes payable and $197,873 of accrued interest into $697,626 of new notes payable.

The above amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company had two reportable segments during 2011 and 2010; manufacturing and other. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company has included segment reporting.

(a)	The “other” segment is mainly related to the holding company expenses and general overhead, as well as the stock based compensation awards.

Segment 1, manufacturing, consists of International Machine and Welding, Inc. and derives its revenues from machining operations, sale of parts and service.

The manufacturing segment, International Machine and Welding, Inc. has a broad and diverse base of customers. The segment does not rely on any single customer, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the segment. However, this segment does generate a significant amount of revenues from sales and services provided to three different industries.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This FILING contains forward-looking statements. The words “anticipated,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability to achieve further market penetration and additional customers, and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated, or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this FILING are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments.

The Company cautions readers that in addition to important factors described elsewhere, the following important facts, among others, sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company’s actual results, and could cause the Company’s actual results during 2012 and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation presents a review of the consolidated operating results and financial condition of the Company for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. This discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operation of the Company and its subsidiary. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MANUFACTURING SEGMENT

The manufacturing subsidiary, International Machine and Welding, Inc., generates its revenues from three divisions. Division 1 provides specialized machining and repair services to heavy industry and original equipment manufacturers. Division 2 provides repair and rebuild services on heavy equipment used in construction and mining as well as sales of used equipment. Division 3 provides parts sales for heavy equipment directly to the customer. The primary market of this segment is the majority of central and south Florida with parts sales expanding its market internationally. The current operations can be significantly expanded using the 38,000 square foot structure owned by International Machine and Welding, Inc.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2011 AND 2010

General

The Company’s consolidated net sales increased to $550,150 for the three months ended August 31, 2011, an increase of $12,015 or 2%, from $538,135 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Management believes the increase is due to customers requiring necessary repairs previously deferred over the last two years.

Gross profit for the consolidated operations increased to $288,626 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 from $278,392 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of sales remained unchanged during the three months ended August 31, 2011 at 52% from the same period ended August 31, 2010.

Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was $40,580 compared to $47,904 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is due to the Company reducing the overall debt and consolidating debts at a lower interest rate during the three months ended August 31, 2011.

Consolidated interest income for the three months ended August 31, 2011 was $2,046 compared to $749 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The increase in interest income is due to an increase in the note receivable to a related party during the three months ended 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $342,241 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 from $355,250 for the three months ended August 31, 2010, a decrease of $13,009 or 4%. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is mainly due to operating efficiencies.

The Company incurred a net consolidated loss of $57,617 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $124,013 net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2010.

Manufacturing Segment

The manufacturing operation, International Machine and Welding, Inc. provided net sales of $550,150 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $538,135 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The machining operations provided $192,598 or 35% of net sales with parts and service providing $357,552 or 65% of net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2011 as compared to machining operations contributing $176,841 or 33% of net sales with parts and service providing $361,294 or 67% of net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2010.

Gross profit from International Machine and Welding, Inc. was $288,626 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $278,392 during the three months ended August 31, 2010 providing gross profit margins of 52% and 52%, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for International Machine and Welding, Inc. were $236,982 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $201,149 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the overall decrease in the allocation of overhead expenses passed on to the parent company.

Interest expense was $28,008 for the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $35,410 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is due to the Company reducing the overall debt and consolidating debts at a lower interest rate during the three months ended August 31, 2011.

The Company does not have discrete financial information on each of the three manufacturing divisions, nor does the Company make decisions on the divisions separately; therefore they are not reported as segments.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2011 AND 2010

General

The Company’s consolidated net sales increased to $1,227,736 for the six months ended August 31, 2011, an increase of $34,287 or 3%, from $1,193,449 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. Management believes the increase is due to customers requiring necessary repairs previously deferred over the last two years.

Gross profit for the consolidated operations increased to $639,266 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 from $612,215 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased during the six months ended August 31, 2011 to 52% from 51% during the six months ended August 31, 2010.

Consolidated interest expense for the six months ended August 31, 2011 was $84,174 compared to $95,675 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is due to the Company paying bills on a timely basis thereby not incurring the penalties and interest that were being charged during the six months ended August 31, 2010.

Consolidated interest income for the six months ended August 31, 2011 was $3,778 compared to $27,434 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in interest income is due to the discount on the note receivable becoming fully amortized during the six months ended August 31, 2011.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $720,629 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 from $733,022 for the six months ended August 31, 2010, a decrease of $12,393 or 2%.

The Company incurred a net consolidated loss of $127,227 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $189,048 net loss for the six months ended August 31, 2010.

Manufacturing Segment

The manufacturing operation, International Machine and Welding, Inc. provided net sales of $1,227,736 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $1,193,449 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The machining operations provided $370,927 or 30% of net sales with parts and service providing $856,809 or 70% of net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2011 as compared to machining operations contributing $341,600 or 29% of net sales with parts and service providing $851,849 or 71% of net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2010.

Gross profit from International Machine and Welding, Inc., our operating subsidiary, was $639,266 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $612,215 during the six months ended August 31, 2010 providing gross profit margins of 52% and 51%, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for International Machine and Welding, Inc., our operating subsidiary, were $497,779 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $444,544 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the overall decrease in the allocation of overhead expenses passed on to the parent company.

Interest expense was $58,790 for the six months ended August 31, 2011 compared to $70,721 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is due to the Company paying bills on a timely basis thereby not incurring the penalties and interest that were being charged during the six months ended August 31, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company provided (used) net cash for operating activities of $3,573 and ($121,910), respectively.

During the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company used funds for investing activities of $60,680 and $20,421, respectively.

During the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $73,491 and $147,195, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities is due to the reduced reliance on factoring receivables and reduction in proceeds from lending arrangements, as operations decreased comparative cash requirements.

Cash flows from financing activities provided for working capital needs and principal payments on long-term debt through fiscal 2011. As of August 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $780,814. To the extent that the cash flows from financing activities are insufficient to finance the Company’s anticipated growth, or its other liquidity and capital requirements during the next twelve months, the Company will seek additional financing from alternative sources including bank loans or other bank financing arrangements, other debt financing, the sale of equity securities (including those issuable pursuant to the exercise of outstanding warrants and options), or other financing arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available and, if available, that it will be available on terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.

Although management has reduced debt, new financing to finance operations and to facilitate additional production is still being sought. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

SEASONALITY

The diversity of operations in the manufacturing segment protects it from seasonal trends except in the sales of agricultural processing where the majority of the revenue is generated while the processors await the next harvest.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We base our estimate on an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is determined based on net realizable value. We write down inventory balances for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

We value our property and equipment at cost. Amortization and depreciation are calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Fair value estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Management conducted its evaluation based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at August 31, 2011, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rue 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31, 2011 based on such criteria.

A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
