ownership of capital stock, no other stockholder consents will be solicited
in
connection with this Information Statement.

to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
proposals will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after the date
on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders. We

________, 2008.

Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of
record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

COMPLIANCE
WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our
directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent
(10%) of our outstanding common stock, file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership of Common Stock. Such persons are required by the SEC to furnish
us
with copies of all such reports they file. Specific due dates for such
reports have been established by the SEC and we are required to disclose any
failure to file reports by such dates. We believe that during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007, all reports required to be filed pursuant to
Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis.
On
March
17, 2008, the Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests
of
the Company and its shareholders, approved the sale of the assets (the “Asset
Sale”) of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kelley Communication Company,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kelley Communication”) pursuant to the terms of a
certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and among our Company, Kelley Communication,
Mr. James Michael Kelley, and Kelley II, LLC, a newly formed Nevada limited
liability company (“Kelley II”). Mr. Kelley is an executive officer of Kelley
Communications and a former Director of the Company.
Mr.
Kelley owns 100% of the limited liability company membership interests of
Kelley
II, and is its sole managing member. Additionally, he may be deemed to be
the beneficial owner of approximately 13,816,577
shares of Siena’s capital stock owned by Kelley II (the
“Kelley Shares”). He is also a former director, who served on our Board
from September 22, 2005 until January 2008. Mr. Kelley transferred the Kelley
Shares to Kelley II for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated
by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The
summary that follows highlights selected information regarding the transaction,
and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To
fully understand the sale of substantially all of the assets of Kelley
Communication, and for a more complete description of the Asset Sale and
related
matters, you should carefully read this Information Statement, including
the
Asset Purchase Agreement attached as Appendix
A,
in its
entirety.
Background
Pursuant
to an acquisition agreement, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
of
Kelley Communication on September 22, 2005, in exchange for common stock.
The results of Kelley Communication’s operations have been included in our
consolidated financial statements since that date. Kelley Communication is
a Las
Vegas, Nevada-based business focused on the design, project management,
installation and deployment of data, voice, video, audio/visual, security
and
surveillance systems, entertainment and special effects, and telecom
systems.
The
aggregate purchase price was $10,232,101, all of which was paid by issuing
14,016,577 shares of our common stock. The value of the shares of common
stock
was determined based on the average market price of our common stock on the
ten
trading days prior to September 22, 2005. The purchase price was determined
by taking into account many factors including the reputation that Kelley
Communication had amassed in its industry over the preceding 18 years, the
reputation of Kelley Communication’s founder, James Michael Kelley, having been
in the business for over 40 years, Kelley Communication’s estimate of 2005
projected revenues, and Kelley Communication’s debt obligations at the time of
closing.
Past
Transactions with J. Michael Kelley
Upon
the
acquisition of Kelley, the Company assumed $492,856 in various notes payable
to
Michael Kelley. The notes payable carried interest at a fixed rate
of 5.00%. These notes payable were refinanced on October 7, 2005 with a
$492,856 note payable carrying interest at 6.00% and requiring 24 monthly
payments of $17,412 in principal and interest through September 2007.
The balances of $533,609 and $152,816 remained outstanding as of December
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, all of which were current. The Company has
defaulted on the October 7, 2005 note payable. Michael Kelley had agreed
to waive all default terms under the October 7, 2005 note payable. The
Company currently considers the debts owed to Michael Kelley as unsecured
debt
carrying an interest rate of 6.00%. Repayment terms are unscheduled.
On
September 22, 2005, the Company issued $540,000 in convertible debentures
due to Mr. Kelley (the “Kelley Debenture”). The Kelley Debenture carried an
interest rate of 0.00% and was due in September 2006. The Kelley Debenture
was
issued with a discounted price from the face value of $90,000. Mr. Kelley
was
entitled to convert the face amount of the Kelley Debentures, plus accrued
interest, anytime following the issuance, into common stock of the Company
at
the lesser of (i) 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen
trading days prior to the conversion date or (ii) 100% of the closing bid
prices for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the issuance of
the
Kelley Debentures (“Fixed Conversion Price”), referred to as the “Conversion
Price.” No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares were to
be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable were to be rounded
up
or down, as the case may be, to the nearest whole share. Additionally, in
connection with the issuance of the Kelley Debenture, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase
price equal to 120% of the fair market value on the date of issuance. The
warrants were valued at $32,790 and were recorded as derivative liabilities
in
the Company’s balance sheet. The debt discount was being amortized into interest
expense over the life of the loan.
Effective
June 30, 2006, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Promissory
Notes with Mr. Kelley, which restated and replaced in its entirety, the Kelley
Debenture, including retiring the conversion rights of the debentures and
retiring all related warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock
(the “Amended Promissory Notes”). The principal amount of the Kelley Debenture
as amended was $476,250. The promissory note bears interest at 7% per annum.
The
Company was obligated to begin making payments on this promissory note in
January 2007 and the promissory note is due in September 2008.
The
Amended and Restated Promissory Note for Mr. Kelley also provides:
· |
if
prior to the Company’s full payment and satisfaction of the Note, the
Company borrows monies or raises capital from the sale of its
common stock
in excess of $3,500,000 (after the payment of all financing fees
and
expenses), the Company is obligated to pay to Mr. Kelley 30% of such
excess up to the unpaid balance on the new promissory note within
10 days after receipt of such funds and if such funds are raised
prior to when the Company is obligated to begin making payments,
such
obligation will be accelerated and will begin one month following
such
financing; and if at any time during which the Note remains unpaid,
the
Company’s earnings on a consolidated basis during any calendar year exceed
$1,000,000 (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
but
after deducting of all principal and interest payments on outstanding
debts, other than certain mandatory prepayments as discussed
herein), the
Company is obligated to pay Mr. Kelley 20% of the excess earnings, up
to the unpaid balance of the new promissory note as a prepayment,
within
10 business days of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
|
The
Company assumed $492,856 in various notes payable to the CEO and founder
of
Kelley, carrying interest at a fixed rate of 5.00% per annum. These notes
payable were refinanced on October 7, 2005 with a $492,856 note payable
carrying interest at 6.00% per annum and requiring 24 monthly payments of
$17,412 in principal and interest through September 2007. The balance of
$85,138 and $152,816, all of which is current, remained outstanding as of
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Further,
the Company executed an employment agreement with Mr. Kelley in September
2005. The employment agreement was to continue in effect for a period of
two
years and can be renewed upon mutual agreement between Mr. Kelley and the
Company. The Company may terminate the employment agreement at our discretion
during the initial term, provided that the Company shall pay Mr. Kelley an
amount equal to payment at Mr. Kelley’s base salary rate for six months.
The Company can also terminate the employment agreement for cause with no
financial obligations to Mr. Kelley. Mr. Kelley currently earns a
gross salary of $10,000 per month.

Consideration
Offered to Security Holders
There
is
no consideration being offering to security holders.
Reasons
for the Asset Sale
One
of
the primary reasons for engaging in the Asset Sale is to promote the interests
of the Company’s stockholders by selling potentially unprofitable assets. Over
the past two years, Kelley Communication has had difficulty achieving
sustainable profitability. Most of the major contracts that we had with
customers have been satisfied and expired, cancelled and/or delayed.
Kelley Communication continued to experience decreases in new business
contracts and opportunities. The slow down in sales can be attributed to
a
confluence of factors. For example, Kelley Communication’s sales cycle can take
as long as six to twelve months, or sometimes longer, for the large dollar
value
construction contracts on which Kelley Communication bids. Historically,
Kelley
Communication has not had a formal sales staff and has relied upon existing
relationships, word of mouth and in-bound requests for proposals to generate
its
sales. Many factors have changed in the gaming and real estate industries
in Las
Vegas, which has resulted in fewer and fewer relationship sales, and word
of
mouth and inbound sales opportunities. In addition, many of the projects
on
which we have been actively bidding, have been cancelled, put on hold, or
delayed, particularly in the Las Vegas market.
During
2007, the Company’s management, including Mr. Kelley, began working on a new
operating plan that would entail a multiple approach solution; however, the
formal operating plans were never finalized. Some of the strategies that
we
considered at the time were as follows; a) streamlining the operations at
Kelley
Communication to focus on core business competencies of design and build
of low
voltage systems for commercial buildings in the hospitality, gaming and MDU
marketplaces, b) leveraging its existing technologies including its Patent
Pending Race & Sports Book platform and certain exclusive rights to sell
Techchierge™ and finding new ways to monetize these assets into higher margin,
recurring revenue types of opportunities, c) reduction of head count resulting
from an exit of non core businesses and related reductions in general and
administrative costs, and d) sale of certain non core business assets, such
as
our contracts to provide cable, internet and voice services at Tuscany (our
remaining 50% interest in Tuscany Services LLC) and One Las Vegas, which
will
result in cash infusions into our Company and reductions in capital requirements
for these contracts, while reducing our overhead costs by eliminating of
the
head count associated with these assets, and allowing Kelley Communication
a
small profit participation percentage in the future based on the performance
of
these assets.
Notwithstanding
our attempts, the Company ultimately does not believe that the market for
Kelley
Communication’s products and services is adequate enough to sustain
profitability. Mr. Kelley, however, believes otherwise and as a result, we
have
entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with him and his newly formed entity.
Accordingly, it is contemplated that upon the corporate actions described
herein
becoming effective, Mr. Kelley and Kelley II will own and operate the assets,
and will have assumed the liabilities of Kelley Communications. Moreover,
the
Company will have divested itself of substantially all of its assets. Upon
consummation of the Asset Sale, the Company will seek to immediately purchase
a
new operating business. The Company will provide additional disclosure relating
to any potential acquisition as such information becomes
available.

Interest
of Dutchess in the Asset Sale
Mr.
Michael Novielli, a Director of the Company, is a director of Dutchess Private
Equities Fund, Ltd. (“DPEF”) and managing member of Dutchess Advisors, LLC
(“DA”, together with DPEF, “Dutchess”) which collectively beneficially own
7,466,049 shares of the Siena Technologies, Inc.’s common stock. Of this amount,
DPEF beneficially owns 6,231,775 shares of common stock consisting of: (i)
1,352,130 shares of common stock; and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate
of
4,879,645 shares of common stock. Further, DA beneficially owns 1,234,274
shares
of common stock consisting of: (i) 234,274 shares of common stock; and (ii)
warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock. Mr. Novielli, assisted
the Company in negotiating the Asset Sale.
On
October 24, 2007, May 29, 2007, June 19, 2007, June 25, 2007 and
July 2, 2007, the Company entered into factoring and security agreements to
sell, transfer and assign certain accounts receivable to Dutchess in the
amounts
of $275,000, $725,000, $214,000, $483,000 and $215,000, respectively. Dutchess
is able to, in its sole discretion, purchase any specific account. All accounts
receivable are sold with recourse. All assets including accounts receivable,
inventories, equipment and promissory notes are pledged as collateral under
these agreements. The difference between the face amount of each purchased
account and the amount advanced on the purchased account is reserved and
released after deductions for discounts and charge backs. In addition, Dutchess
charged finance fees in connection with these transactions. The Company
incurred financing fees of $15,000 in connection with each of the factoring
transactions with Dutchess in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the Company
had
satisfied all payments due to Dutchess as a result of these
transactions.
On
July
17, 2007, the Company and Kelley entered into an Agreement with Dutchess
providing for additional funding from Dutchess in the amount of $2,000,000,
which shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Note and
modified to reflect all appropriate increases in the Company’s monthly payments
to Dutchess. The balance on the Note subsequent to this additional
financing totaled $8,384,726, due January 1, 2012, and bears interest at
a rate
of seven percent (7%) per annum and is secured by all the assets of the Company.
In addition, as an incentive to enter into this transaction, Dutchess was
issued a five year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock at four cents ($0.04) per share. The warrant agreement provides for
certain anti-dilution provisions and cashless exercise in the event that
the
Company does not have an effective registration statement covering the shares
of
common stock underlying the warrant agreement on or before one year from
the
date of issuance of the aforementioned warrant. The Company also entered
into a Negative Pledge, providing that the Company will not grant, any lien,
charge, security interest, hypothec, mortgage or encumbrance of any nature
or
kind over any of the property stated in the Amended Security Agreement. In
connection with the Agreement, the Company paid Dutchess closing costs of
$50,000.
On
July
11, 2007, the Company issued Dutchess a promissory note in the face amount
of
$190,000 for gross proceeds of $180,000. The promissory note is non-interest
bearing and matures on July 25, 2007. The Company is required to repay the
promissory note from the proceeds of a proposed subsequent financing with
Dutchess of approximately $2 million, which was eventually completed on July
17,
2007. In connection with the promissory note, the Company incurred closing
costs
of $5,000
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued a total of seven
convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 to a
shareholder of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the
Company had issued a convertible debenture in the aggregate principal amount
of
$25,000 to the same shareholder. These convertible debentures carried interest
rates of 6% or 8% per annum, and were due in February 2009, December of
2009, or in April 2008. Payments were not mandatory during the term of the
convertible debentures, however, the Company maintained the right to pay
the
balances in full without penalty at any time. The holders were entitled to
convert the face amounts of the debentures, plus accrued interest, into common
stock of the Company anytime following the issuance of each debenture, at
the
lesser of (i) 75% of the lowest closing bid price during the fifteen
trading days prior to the conversion date or (ii) 100% of the average of
the closing bid prices for the twenty trading days immediately preceding
the
issuance of such debenture, each being referred to as the “Conversion Price.” No
fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares were to be issued
on
conversion, but the number of shares issuable were to be rounded up or down,
as
the case may be, to the nearest whole share. The beneficial conversion features
related to the 2005 issuances of convertible debentures were recorded as
derivative liabilities in the aggregate amount of $410,334, of which $60,334
was
recorded as interest expense at the time of issuance. The remaining amount
was
recorded as a debt discount and was amortized into interest expense over
the
life of the loan. The beneficial conversion feature related to the 2003 issuance
of a convertible debenture was recorded as a derivative liability in the
amount
of $30,349, of which $5,349 was recorded as interest expense at the time
of
issuance. The remaining amount was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized
into interest expense over the life of the loan.
Effective
June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Loan Restructure Agreement with
the holder of these convertible debentures pursuant to which the convertible
debentures were cancelled and replaced with a promissory note in the amount
of
$375,000 with an interest rate at 7% per annum. The Company is obligated
to make
interest only payments in the amount of $2,000 per month from August 2006
through January 2008 (of which $28,000 has been paid as of September 30,
2007). Beginning in February 2008, the Company is obligated to make
principal and interest payments in the amount of $8,000 per month until June
of
2011. The new promissory note is due on July 1, 2011 with a balloon payment
of $111,805 being due on that date.
In
the
event of a default on the new promissory note by the Company, the shareholder
has the right to declare the full and unpaid balance of the new note due
and
payable, and enforce each of its rights under the aforementioned convertible
debentures that have been retired, including conversion into shares of the
Company’s common stock.
On
July
17, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement with Dutchess (the “July 2007
Agreement”), providing for, among other things, additional funding from Dutchess
in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Additional Financing”). The Additional
Financing shall be added to the then outstanding principal amount of the
Note
and such Note shall be modified to reflect all appropriate increases in the
Company’s monthly payments to Dutchess. Further, pursuant to the July 2007
Agreement, Dutchess shall have the right to appoint three (3) members to
the
Company’s Board of Directors, whose total number shall remain at five (5), and
such appointments shall continue until the New Note is repaid in full; during
such time that the New Note is outstanding, Dutchess may remove and replace
any
of its appointed members. The July 2007 Agreement further provided for certain
conditions to closing, all of which have been satisfied.
Pursuant
to the July 2007 Agreement, the Company and Dutchess executed an Addendum
to
Note, dated July 17, 2007 (the “Addendum”) modifying the Note such that the
Additional Financing shall be added to the principal amount of the Note,
totaling in the aggregate approximately $8,384,726 (the “New Note”). As provided
in the Note, the New Note bears interest at a rate of seven percent (7%)
per
annum and is secured by all the assets of the Company, as evidenced by that
certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement between the Company and
Dutchess, dated July 17, 2007 (“Amended Security Agreement”). The New Note is
due and payable on or before January 1, 2012. The Company also issued Dutchess
a
five year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at
four cent ($0.04) per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant provides for certain
anti-dilution provisions and cashless exercise in the event that the Company
does not have an effective registration statement covering the shares of
common
stock underlying the Warrant on or before one year from the date of issuance
of
the Warrant. The Company also entered into a Negative Pledge, dated July
17, 2007 (the “Negative Pledge”), providing that the Company will not grant, any
lien, charge, security interest, hypothec, mortgage or encumbrance of any
nature
or kind over any of the property stated in the Amended Security Agreement.
In
connection with the Agreement, the Company paid Dutchess closing costs of
$50,000.

12.3.
Payment; Procedure for Indemnification.
(a)
In the event that a Person shall suffer an Indemnifiable Loss and seek
indemnification under this Article (the
“IndemnifiedParty”) he, she or
it shall give written notice to (i) the Company and/or the Parent in the case
of
indemnity sought under Section 12.1, or (ii) Acquiror in the case of
indemnity sought under Section 12.2 (the party receiving such notice, the
“NoticedParty,” and the
party(ies) from whom indemnification under this Article is sought, the
“IndemnifyingParty”) of the
amount of the Indemnifiable Loss, together with reasonably sufficient
information to enable the Noticed Party to determine the accuracy and nature
of
the claimed Indemnifiable Loss (the
“IndemnityNotice”). The
failure of any Indemnified Party to give the Noticed Party the Indemnity Notice
promptly after actual notice of the Indemnifiable Loss shall not release the
Indemnifying Party of liability under this Article; provided, however that
the
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for Indemnifiable Losses incurred by
the
Indemnified Party that would not have been incurred but for the delay in the
delivery of, or the failure to deliver, the Indemnity Notice. Within 60
days after the receipt by the Noticed Party of the Indemnity Notice, the Noticed
Party shall do one of the following and decide whether or not to raise any
objection: (i) provide notice to the Indemnifying Party directing the
Indemnifying Party to pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the
Indemnifiable Loss or (ii) object to such claim, in which case the Noticed
Party
shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party of such objection together
with the reasons therefor, it being understood that the failure of the Noticed
Party to so object shall preclude the Noticed Party from asserting any claim,
defense or counterclaim relating to the Indemnifying Party’s failure to pay any
Indemnifiable Loss that was the subject of such Notice. The Noticed
Party’s objection shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations
under this Article.
(b)
In the event the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification under this
Article shall involve any action or threatened claim or demand by any third
party against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party, within the earlier
of, as applicable, 10 days after receiving a written notice of the filing of
a
lawsuit or 60 days after receiving notice of the existence of a claim or demand
giving rise to the claim for indemnification, shall send written notice of
such
claim to the Noticed Party (the
“ClaimNotice”). The
failure of the Indemnified Party to give the Noticed Party the Claim Notice
shall not release the Indemnifying Party of liability under this Article;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for
Indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party that would not have
been
incurred but for the delay in the delivery of, or the failure to deliver, the
Claim Notice. Except for claims resulting from, relating to, or arising
out of any dispute with the Company’s respective customers or suppliers, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend such claim in the name of the
Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense and through counsel of
the Indemnifying Party’s own choosing; provided, that if the applicable claim or
demand is against, or if the defendants in any such Legal Proceeding shall
include, both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there are defenses available to
it
that are different or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party
or
if the interests of the Indemnified Party may be reasonably deemed to conflict
with those of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have
the
right to select separate counsel and to assume and control the defense of such
claim, demand or Legal Proceeding, with the reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of such counsel to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as
incurred. The Indemnifying Party shall give the Indemnified Party notice
in writing within 10 days after receiving the Claim Notice from the Indemnified
Party in the event of litigation, or otherwise within 30 days, of its intent
to
defend such claim. In the case of any claim resulting from, relating to or
arising out of any dispute with any of the Company’s respective customers or
suppliers, Acquiror shall have the sole right to control the defense
thereof. Whenever the Indemnifying Party is entitled to defend any claim
under this Section 12.3(b), the Indemnified Party may elect, by notice in
writing to the Noticed Party, to continue to participate through its own
counsel, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, but the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to control the defense of the claim or the litigation. The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense
of
any claim, demand or Legal Proceeding that the Indemnifying Party has and for
which the Indemnifying Party has elected to defend pursuant to this
Section 12.3(b).
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the party
controlling the defense of the claim or the litigation shall not settle any
such
claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Noticed Party
for
the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
that if the Indemnified Party is controlling the defense of the claim or the
litigation and shall have, in good faith, negotiated a settlement thereof,
which
proposed settlement contains terms that are reasonable under the circumstances,
then the Noticed Party for the Indemnifying Party shall not withhold or delay
the giving of such consent. In the event that the Indemnifying Party is
controlling the defense of the claim or the litigation and shall have negotiated
a settlement thereof, which proposed settlement is substantively final and
unconditional as to the parties thereto (other than the consent of the Noticed
Party for the Indemnified Party required under this Section 12.3(c)) and
contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and does not include
the taking of any actions by, or the imposition of any restrictions on the
part
of, the Indemnified Party and the Noticed Party for the Indemnified Party shall
unreasonably refuse to consent to such settlement, the liability of the
Indemnifying Party under this Article, upon the ultimate disposition of such
litigation or claim, shall be limited to the amount of the proposed settlement;
provided, however, that in the event the proposed settlement shall require
that
the Indemnified Party make an admission of liability, a confession of judgment,
or shall contain any other non-financial obligation which, in the reasonable
judgment of the Indemnified Party, renders such settlement unacceptable, then
the Indemnified Party’s failure to consent shall not give rise to the foregoing
limitation of the Indemnifying Party’s liability as provided for in this
Section 12.3(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall continue to be liable to
the full extent of such litigation or claim.
(d)
The party controlling the defense of the claim or the litigation shall provide
to the non-controlling party a report as to the status of each claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Article no less frequently than once every
six
months so long as such claim is outstanding.
(e)
The non-controlling party in the defense of the claim or the litigation shall
have the right to consult with the controlling party and the controlling party
shall facilitate such consultation with respect to the conduct and results
of
the proceeding and the strategy of the controlling party for addressing the
matters that are the basis of such claim. Upon reasonable request by the
non-controlling party, the controlling party shall provide the notice, copies,
access and right of consultation provided for herein with respect to any claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
(f)
Notwithstanding any indemnification or defense arrangement between the parties
to this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree to cooperate with each
other in pursuing any claims against any Person who may be liable for any Losses
or Liabilities which are the subject of an Indemnity Notice, and in pursuing
any
available claims against insurers who may have provided insurance coverage
for
any such Losses or Liabilities.
12.4
Limitations.
An Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under Sections 12.1(a)
or 12.2(a), as applicable, shall not arise (a) unless the aggregate amount
of
Indemnifiable Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is so required to
indemnify exceeds $10,000, but in such event, the Indemnifying Party shall
be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Indemnifiable Losses,
including the initial $10,000 of Indemnifiable Losses up to the aggregate amount
of the Purchase Price, and (b) except for claims made within 2 years
of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set
forth in this Section 12.4 shall not apply to claims for indemnification
based upon breaches of or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4(a), 5.5, 5.9, 5.20, 5.28, 6.1,
6.2, 6.3 and 6.6 or claims based upon any of the information furnished by or
on
behalf of the Indemnifying Party fraudulently or in bad faith, but the maximum
amount of Indemnifiable Losses that the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated
to
pay under this Article 12 shall in no event be in excess of the Purchase
Price.
12.5
12.6

FOOTNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On
October 25, 2006, Network Installation Corp. (“NIC”) changed its name to
Siena Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company was incorporated on
March 24, 1998 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company has three
wholly owned subsidiaries, Kelley Communication Company, Inc. (“Kelley”), Com
Services, Inc. (“COM”) and Network Installation Corporation (“Network”), all of
which have been discontinued.
ACQUISITION
OF KELLEY COMMUNICATION COMPANY, INC.
Pursuant
to an acquisition agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
common
stock of Kelley Communication Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on
September 22, 2005, in exchange for common stock. The results of Kelley’s
operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements since that date. Kelley is a Las Vegas, Nevada-based business
focused
on the design, project management, installation and deployment of data,
voice,
video, audio/visual, security and surveillance systems, entertainment
and
special effects, and telecom systems.
The
aggregate purchase price was $10,232,101, all of which was paid by issuing
14,016,577 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the shares of
common stock was determined based on the average market price of the
Company’s
common stock on the ten trading days prior to September 22, 2005. The
purchase price was determined by taking into account many factors including
the
reputation that Kelley had amassed in its industry over the preceding
18 years, the reputation of Kelley’s founder, James Michael Kelley, having
been in the business for over 40 years, Kelley’s estimate of 2005 projected
revenues, and Kelley’s debt obligations at the time of closing.
The
audit
of Kelley as of September 22, 2005 has not been completed. However,
the Company’s preliminary financial analysis and due diligence related to the
acquisition is complete. Kelley’s unaudited balance sheet as of the date of the
acquisition is as follows:

At
December 31, 2007, upon the completion of an impairment review of the
Goodwill related to the acquisition of Kelley, management decided to
write down
goodwill by $7,344,216, resulting primarily from lower than expected
gross
margins and the continued significant cash flow challenges faced by Kelley.
The
Company had recorded a $3,700,000 impairment losss on the goodwill recorded
for
the Kelley acquisition in 2005 and therefore will no longer carry goodwill
relating to Kelly as the Company is unable to support the opinion that
operations and cashflow will improve at Kelly.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF
CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the
Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of
each of
the company’s subsidiaries have been included in Loss from Discontinued
Operations in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
These
condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of
America (“US GAAP”).
The
interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
to
be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company’s
financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion
of
management, contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
of
operations and cash flows for the period presented. The Company’s accounting
policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to
the
consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto. The preparation of financial statements
in
conformity with US GAAP 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 those estimates.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of
assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing
these financial statements include analysis of the value of goodwill,
the fair
value of derivative financial instruments such as warrants, the issuance
of
common stock for services, and useful lives for depreciable and amortizable
assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25.
SFAS 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first interim period
or
annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123(R)
requires that the costs resulting from all share-based payments transactions
be
recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123(R) applied to all awards
granted after the required effective date and shall not apply to awards
granted
in periods before the required effective date, except if prior awards
are
modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date.
The
following table sets forth the Company’s stock option grants, exercise prices,
stock option grants forfeited and certain vesting periods and amounts

NOTE
3 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America,
which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However,
the
Company has an accumulated deficit of ($41,464,322), and is generating
losses
from operations. The continuing losses have adversely affected the liquidity
of
the Company. The Company faces continuing significant business risks,
including,
but not limited, to its ability to maintain vendor and supplier relationships
by
making timely payments when due.
In
view
of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of
a major
portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance
sheet is
dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is
dependent
upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to
succeed in its future operations. The consolidated financial statements
do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of
recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that
might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In the
past twelve months, management has taken the following steps to improve
its
results of operations and financial condition, which include: (i) completed
the discontinuance of operations of Network and COM, (ii) completed a
second restructuring of all of the Company’s outstanding debt with more
cashflow-sensitive payment terms, (iii) reduced head count (iv) raised an
additional $2.36 million in promissory note advances (v) sold
our investment in Tuscany Broadband for proceeds of approximately $775,000,
reached agreement in principle on the sale of Kelley, which will include
the
disposition of approximately $2.5 million in net liabilities.

On
July
17, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement with Dutchess (the “July 2007
Agreement”), providing for, among other things, additional funding from Dutchess
in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Additional Financing”). The Additional
Financing shall be added to the then outstanding principal amount of
the Note
and such Note shall be modified to reflect all appropriate increases
in the
Company’s monthly payments to Dutchess. Further, pursuant to the July 2007
Agreement, Dutchess shall have the right to appoint three (3) members
to the
Company’s Board of Directors, whose total number shall remain at five (5), and
such appointments shall continue until the New Note is repaid in full;
during
such time that the New Note is outstanding, Dutchess may remove and replace
any
of its appointed members. The July 2007 Agreement further provided for
certain
conditions to closing, all of which have been satisfied.
Pursuant
to the July 2007 Agreement, the Company and Dutchess executed an Addendum
to
Note, dated July 17, 2007 (the “Addendum”) modifying the Note such that the
Additional Financing shall be added to the principal amount of the Note,
totaling in the aggregate approximately $8,384,726 (the “New Note”). As provided
in the Note, the New Note bears interest at a rate of seven percent (7%)
per
annum and is secured by all the assets of the Company, as evidenced by
that
certain Amended and Restated Security Agreement between the Company and
Dutchess, dated July 17, 2007 (“Amended Security Agreement”). The New Note is
due and payable on or before January 1, 2012. The Company also issued
Dutchess a
five year warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at
four cent ($0.04) per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant provides for certain
anti-dilution provisions and cashless exercise in the event that the
Company
does not have an effective registration statement covering the shares
of common
stock underlying the Warrant on or before one year from the date of issuance
of
the Warrant. The Company also entered into a Negative Pledge, dated July
17, 2007 (the “Negative Pledge”), providing that the Company will not grant, any
lien, charge, security interest, hypothec, mortgage or encumbrance of
any nature
or kind over any of the property stated in the Amended Security
Agreement.
In
connection with the Agreement, the Company paid Dutchess closing costs
of
$50,000.
The
Company is obligated to make the following principal and interest payments
for
the years ended March 31:
2008

In
the
event of a default on the new promissory note, Dutchess has the right
to declare
the full and unpaid balance of the new note due and payable, and enforce
each of
its rights under the convertible debentures and warrants previously retired
as
of June 30, 2006, including conversion into and/or purchase of shares
of the
Company’s common stock.
On
March
17, 2008, the Company determined it would dispose or sell the assets
and
liabilities associated with Kelley. The business was underperforming
and
consistent profits derived from the business model did not appear possible
under
the operating structure in place. In conjunction with this decision,
the company
has accrued approximately $100,000 to cover the costs of disposing of
the Kelley
subsidiary.
In
the
second quarter of 2006, the Company finalized its plans to shut down
its
operations at its Network and COM subsidiaries. The Company decided to
close
down these operations primarily because they were incurring operating
losses,
had low gross margins and were experiencing cash flow shortages, in addition
to
the fact that these businesses were not consistent with the core business
of the
Company’s subsidiary, Kelley. In conjunction with this decision, the Company
accrued $150,000 to cover the costs of closing network and com. The
net assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations at March 31,
2008 and
December 31, 2007 consists of the following;

FOOTNOTE
8 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net
loss
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting
Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings Per Share”. Basic net loss
per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. For all periods, all common stock equivalents were excluded
from
the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were
anti-dilutive, due to our net losses.
Stock
options, which would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss
per common
share once exercised, to purchase 1,730,000 and 3,685,000 shares of common
stock
remained outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These
stock options have various vesting periods between two and three years
from the
date of grant.
Warrants,
which would have an anti-dilutive effect on the net loss per common share
once
exercised, to purchase 23,942,145 and 16,710,895 shares of common stock
remained
outstanding as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, at strike prices
that vary from $0.01 to $0.79 and $0.01 to $0.88 per share,
respectively.
Certain
debts which were restructured by the Company during 2008 and 2007, remained
outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These debts
carry certain provisions allowing for the lenders, namely Dutchess, to
void the
restructuring transactions in the event of default by the Company. In the
event of default and the removal of the restructured terms of the debts,
the
debts would become convertible at the lender's option at any time, at
a
conversion price which would be approximately 75% of the fair market
value of
the Company's common stock. The Company currently estimates the shares
these debts would potentially be convertible into would be approximately
731,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock using the fair market
value of
the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2008. There are other
restrictions within the terms of the agreements with these lenders which
might
limit the amount of shares the debts were convertible into, in this scenario,
but the Company cannot be sure those terms would limit a conversion into
a
significant number of shares of the Company's common stock.
FOOTNOTE
9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
March
17, 2008, the Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests
of
the Company and its shareholders, approved the sale of the assets (the
“Asset
Sale”) of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kelley Communication Company,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kelley Communication”) pursuant to the terms of a
certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and among our Company, Kelley Communication,
Mr. James Michael Kelley, and Kelley II, LLC, a newly formed Nevada limited
liability company (“Kelley II”).
Mr.
Kelley owns 100% of the limited liability company membership interests
of Kelley
II, and is its sole managing member. Additionally, he may be deemed to be
the beneficial owner of approximately 13,816,577 shares of Siena’s capital stock
owned by Kelley II (the “Kelley Shares”). He is also a former director,
who served on our Board from September 22, 2005 until January 2008. Mr.
Kelley
transferred the Kelley Shares to Kelley II for purposes of consummating
the
transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
On
April
7, 2008, we entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Mr. Kelley,
Kelley II
and Kelley Communication, pursuant to which we have agreed to sell certain
of
Kelley Communication’s assets to Kelley II. Such tangible and intangible
assets of Kelley Communication, include, but are not limited to, all
equipment,
all rights of the Kelly Communication against vendors, all customer lists,
files
and related information, all inventory, all rights of the Kelly Communication
under certain contracts, all permits, all intellectual property of Kelly
Communication, including trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain
names,
web sites, phone, fax and email addresses, all rights or choses in action
following the closing of the acquisition related to Kelly Communication’s
business, all books and records, all computer software, hardware, data
rights

The

CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
We generally use words such as “believe,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “intend,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” and similar expressions to identify
forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our ability
to
continue to create innovative technology products, our ability to continue
to
generate new business based on our sales and marketing efforts, referrals
and
existing relationships, our financing strategy and ability to access
the capital
markets and other risks discussed in our Risk Factor section included
in our
Form 10-KSB at and for the year ended December 31, 2007. Although we
believe the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements
included in
this Form 10-Q are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds
of our
knowledge of our business, a number of factors could cause our actual
results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
We
cannot assure you that the results or developments expected or anticipated
by us
will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results
or
developments will result in the expected consequences for us or affect
us, our
business or our operations in the way we expect. We caution readers not
to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of their
dates. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements
after
the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results
or to
changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
SALES
Sales
for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0 compared to $0 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. All operations at Kelley, COM and Network have
been discontinued. Therefore, no revenues are presented for the three
months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company had no operating entities
that were
continuing to generate revenues.
COST
OF GOODS SOLD
Cost
of
goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0 compared to $0
for the three months ended March 31, 2007. All operations at Kelley, COM
and Network have been discontinued. Therefore, no costs of goods sold
are
presented for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company
had no
operating entities that were continuing to generate revenues and costs
of goods
sold.
GROSS
PROFITS
Gross
profits for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0 compared to $0
for the three months ended March 31, 2007. All operations at Kelley, COM
and Network have been discontinued. Therefore, no costs of goods sold
are
presented for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company
had no
operating entities that were continuing to generate gross profits.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
Operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 amounted to $145,442
compared to $174,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock option expense for
the three
months ended March 31, 2008 of $62,783 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2007. The Company’s former executives held a significant
number of stock options which were no longer being amortized in
2008.
OTHER
INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other
income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $(67,476) compared to
$1,745,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in other
income is primarily due to decrease in the change in fair market value
of
derivatives from $1,865,372 to $(408) for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
NET
INCOME
Net
Income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $(729,917) compared to
$435,154 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to the reasons set
forth above.
BASIC
AND DILUTED INCOME PER SHARE
Our
basic
and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and March 31, 2007 was $(0.02) and $(0.01), respectively.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of
March 31, 2008, our current assets were $3,569,379 and current liabilities
were $6,567,187. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,835. Our stockholders’
deficit at March 31, 2008 was ($41,464,322). We had a net usage of cash
from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007 of
($294,000) and ($2,283,002), respectively. We had a net usage of cash
from
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 of
$0 and $0, respectively. We had net cash provided by financing activities
of
$294,000 and $1,102,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Historically,
we have operated from a cash flow deficit funded by outside debt and
equity
capital raised including funds provided by Dutchess and Preston Capital
Partners, Inc. without the continued availability of external funding,
we would
have to materially curtail our operations and plans for expansion. Our
plan to
continue operations in relation to our going concern opinion is to continue
to
secure additional equity or debt capital although there can be no guarantee
that
we will be successful in our efforts.
FINANCING
ACTIVITIES
On
January 7, 2008, January 30, 2008 and March 20, 2008, Siena issued Dutchess
promissory notes in the face amount of $126,000, $120,000 and $120,000
for gross
proceeds of $105,000, $100,000 and $100,000. The promissory notes bear
interest
at 12% per annum and mature on March 19, 2008, July 20, 2008 and September
20,
2008.
In
the
event of a default on the promissory notes issued by the Company in 2008
and for
those promissory notes issued in 2007, the holder has the right to declare
the
full and unpaid balance of the new note due and payable, and enforce
each of its
rights to convert the promissory notes into the Company's common stock
at a
discounted rate.
MATERIAL
TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Additionally,
if our fundraising efforts are unsuccessful, we may default under the
terms of
all of our loan agreements. If we default under the terms of our loan
agreements
with Dutchess, James Michael Kelley or Robert Unger, the other party
to such
agreement has the right to reinstate the previous terms of our loans
with that
party prior to the debt restructuring. Therefore, if we default under
the terms
of our Debt Restructuring agreements with Dutchess, James Michael Kelley
or
Robert Unger, the 5,954,000 warrants that were cancelled will be reissued,
which, if exercised could cause substantial dilution to our other shareholders.
Additionally, our Loan Restructure Agreement with Dutchess and our Loan
Restructure Agreement with Preston cancelled an aggregate of $7,675,000
face
amount of convertible debentures that had been issued to Dutchess and
Preston.
If we default under the terms of these Debt Restructuring agreements,
the other
party to such agreement has the right to reinstate the terms of our loans
with
that party prior to the Debt Restructuring. Therefore, if we default
under our
Debt Restructuring agreements with Dutchess or Preston, the convertible
debentures could be reissued, which could create substantial dilution
to our
shareholders.
It
is our
intention to continue to focus our sales and marketing efforts on our
core
competencies in the design and build of low voltage systems and deploy
our
expertise in hi-end design, build and project management for our hotel
and
casino customers, our high rise MDU customers as well as other commercial
and
residential buildings that are using “smart building technologies” similar to
those that we provide. In addition, we will continue to focus our sales
efforts
on exploiting our exclusive rights to sell Techcierge™, a building amenity and
management software and our reseller rights to sell building security
hardware
and software to building owners, developers and management companies.
However,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our sales efforts,
nor
can there be any assurance given that even if we are successful in attracting
new customers, that we will be able to finance our short term capital
needs or
that we will be able to deliver our services with sufficient gross margins
and
profits.
SUBSIDIARIES
As
of
March 31, 2008, we had three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kelley
Communication Company, Inc., Com Services, Inc. and Network Installation
Corporation, all of which have been discontinued.
