Notes
to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements - Unaudited
September

1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Digicorp,
Inc. (“the Company”) a Delaware corporation was originally organized under the
laws of the State of Utah on July 19, 1983. On July 1, 1995, the Company became
a development stage enterprise as defined in Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”
) No. 7
when it sold its assets and changed its business plan. On December 29, 2005,
the
Company ceased being a development stage enterprise when it acquired all of
the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Rebel Crew Films, Inc., a California
corporation (“Rebel Crew Films”), pursuant to a recapitalization transaction
(see note 4).
Rebel
Crew Films operates as a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company.
Rebel
Crew Films was organized under the laws of the State of California on August
7,
2002 to distribute Latino home entertainment products. Rebel Crew Films
distributes Spanish language films and serves wholesale, retail, catalog, and
e-commerce accounts. Rebel Crew Film’s titles are sold via the internet
and can be found at major retail outlets and independent video outlets across
the United States of America and Canada.
The
Company, including its operating subsidiary, generated revenue through the
direct sales of its licensed content. The Company’s sales force focuses on
direct sales of what we expect to be the more profitable large wholesalers
and
retailers which require a much smaller infrastructure to support. The
Company is organized in a single operating segment. All of the Company’s
revenues are generated in the United States, and the Company has no long-lived
assets outside the United States.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. The actual results may differ
from management’s estimates.
The
interim consolidated financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a
fair
statement of results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2006, was derived from the Company’s audited financial
statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007. The interim consolidated financial statements should be
read
in connection with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rebel Crew Films. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Going
Concern

will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September
30, 2007 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7.5 million and a working
capital deficit of $1.6 million which includes a deferred revenue balance of
$70,000, as discussed below. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
the Company incurred a loss of $2.0 million. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, the Company primarily relied upon revenues generated from
the direct sales of its Latino home entertainment content and on debt and equity
investments to fund its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is
actively seeking sources of additional financing in order to maintain and
potentially expand the Company’s operations and to fund its debt repayment
obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
such additional funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. Accounts
receivable at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented net of
an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,000.
4.
RECAPITALIZATION
On
December 29, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Rebel Crew Films.
Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding equity stock of Rebel Crew Films from the Rebel Crew Films
Shareholders. As consideration for the acquisition the Company agreed to issue
21,207,080 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Price”) to the
shareholders of Rebel Crew Films.
Following
completion of the acquisition the Company’s previous shareholders owned
15,530,104 common shares and Rebel Crew Films shareholders owned 21,207,080,
or
approximately 57.7% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. For
accounting purposes the transaction is considered to be a recapitalization
where
Digicorp is the surviving legal entity, and Rebel Crew Films is considered
to be
the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements prior
to December 29, 2005 are those of Rebel Crew Films. Following the acquisition,
Digicorp changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to December
31.
5.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible
assets consist of capitalized license fees for licensed content the Company
acquired from owners including producers, studios and distributors as well
as
the Company’s Perreoradio suite of websites and internet properties and all
related intellectual property (the “Perreoradio Assets”).
The
Perreoradio suite of websites consists of the following Internet domain names
and all materials, intellectual property, goodwill and records in connection
therewith: Perreoradio.com, Radioperreo.com, Perreomobile.com, Perreotv.com,
Puroperreo.com, Puroreggaeton.com, Purosandungueo.com, Sandungueoradio.com,
Machetemusic.net, Machetemusic.org, Machetemusica.com and Musicamachete.com.
As
consideration for the Perreoradio Assets, the Company issued an aggregate of
100,000 shares of its common stock valued at $160,000.
The
Perreoradio Assets were determined to have an indefinite useful life based
primarily on the renewability of the proprietary domain names. Intangible assets
with an indefinite life are not subject to amortization, but will be subject
to
periodic evaluation for impairment

Licensed
content acquired is capitalized at the time of purchase. The term of the
licensed content agreements usually vary between one to five years (the
“Title
Term”).
At the
end of the Title Term, the Company generally has the option of discontinuing
distribution of the title or extending the Title Term.
The
Company amortizes the capitalized license fees, on a straight line basis over
the Title Term. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
amortization expense related to the licensed content was $109,000 and $73,000,
respectively.
Intangible

INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Income
(loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. The Company complies with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings
Per Share,”
which
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face
of the statements of operations. Basic per share earnings or loss excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted per share earnings or loss reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if convertible preferred stock or debentures, options and warrants were
to
be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock
that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Options
and warrants issued pursuant to our Stock Option Plan and warrants that were
issued outside our Stock Option Plan which were outstanding as of September
30,
2007 to purchase 9,128,833 and 550,000 shares of common stock, respectively,
and
500,000 shares issuable upon conversion of an outstanding convertible note
were
not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, as their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.
Options
and warrants issued pursuant to our Stock Option Plan and warrants that were
issued outside our Stock Option Plan which were outstanding as of September
30,
2006 to purchase 8,762,500 and 550,000 shares of common stock, respectively,
and
500,000 shares issuable upon conversion of an outstanding convertible note
were
not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for the
six
months ended September 30, 2006, as their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
In
connection with the acquisition of Rebel Crew Films on December 29, 2005, the
Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with one of the
shareholders of Rebel Crew Films, Rebel Holdings, LLC, a California limited
liability company ( "Rebel
Holdings"
),
pursuant to which the Company purchased a $556,000 principal amount loan
receivable owed by Rebel Crew Films to Rebel Holdings, LLC in exchange for
the
issuance of a $556,000 principal amount secured convertible note to Rebel
Holdings, LLC. The secured convertible note accrues simple interest at the
rate
of 4.5%, matures on December 29, 2010 and is secured by all of the Company’s
assets now owned or hereafter acquired. The secured convertible note is
convertible into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of
$1.112614 per share. Jay Rifkin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a
director, is the sole managing member of Rebel Holdings, LLC.
As
the
effective conversion price of the note on the date of issuance was below the
fair market value of the underlying common stock, the Company recorded debt
discount in the amount of $194,000 based on the intrinsic value of the
beneficial conversion feature of the note. The debt discount recorded as a
result of the beneficial conversion feature will be amortized as non-cash
interest expense over the term of the debt. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, interest expense of $29,100 has been recorded
from
the debt discount amortization, and as of September 30, 2007, the remaining
debt
discount balance attributable to the beneficial conversion feature was
$125,902.
9.
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT - RELATED PARTY
Revolving
Line of Credit Agreement
During
the period March 23, 2006 through September 28, 2006, the Company was a party
to
a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Revolving
Line of Credit”)
with
Ault Glazer Bodnar Acquisition Fund, LLC (“AGB
Acquisition Fund”).
The
Revolving Line of Credit allowed the Company to request advances totaling an
aggregate of up to $150,000 from AGB Acquisition Fund. At September 30, 2007,
the Company had borrowed $50,000 against the Revolving Line of Credit and
incurred interest expense of $3,000 for the nine months then ended. Amounts
borrowed against the Revolving Line of Credit are evidenced by Convertible
Secured Promissory Notes (the “Convertible
Notes”
) which
allow for the conversion of all or any part of the outstanding principal balance
of the Convertible Notes including any accrued interest thereon, to shares
of
the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lesser of the closing price
of the Company’s common stock on March 23, 2006 or the share price of the
Company’s common stock offered in the Company’s next round of financing in a
private placement offering completed while the principal balance of the
Convertible Notes are outstanding. The Company’s former Chief Financial Officer
was also the Chief Financial Officer of AGB Acquisition Fund.
The
Revolving Line of Credit contained a beneficial conversion feature which
resulted in additional debt discount of $50,000. The beneficial conversion
amount was measured using the excess of the aggregate fair value of the common
stock into which the debt is convertible over the proceeds allocated to the
security. The Company amortized the beneficial conversion feature to interest
expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company
recorded the $50,000 as interest expense.
On
September 30, 2007, AGB Acquisition Fund converted $50,000, which constituted
all of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes including
accrued interest, to 556,102 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance
with their conversion rights.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Effective
July 20, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2005 Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005
Plan”).
The
Plan reserves 15,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of incentive stock
options, nonqualified stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards to
employees, non-employee directors and consultants performing services for the
Company. Options and warrants granted under the Plan have an exercise price
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock
at
the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting
schedule determined at the date of grant. The options expire 10 years
from the date of grant whereas warrants generally expire 5 years from the date
of grant. Restricted stock awards granted under the Plan are subject to a
vesting period determined at the date of grant.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
which
addresses the accounting for employee stock options. SFAS 123(R) requires that
the cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based
compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements over the
vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The Company
adopted SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2005. Prior to the adoption date, there
were no stock options or other equity-based compensation awards
outstanding.

The
aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax
intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between our closing stock price on
September 30, 2007 and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that
would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised
their options on September 30, 2007. There have not been any options exercised
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 or year ended December 31,
2006.
All
outstanding stock-based compensation awards were granted by the Company at
the
per share fair market value on the grant date. The fair value of each option
grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. For options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
the
following assumptions were used: volatility 146%; expected life 5 years;
risk-free interest rate 4.50%; dividend yield 0%.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 stock-based compensation
totaling $962,000 and $2,429,000, respectively, was recorded by the
Company.

EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During
the second quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a subscription agreement
with several accredited investors in a private placement exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities

OVERVIEW
We
are an
aggregator and distributor of programming content and a developer of multi-media
technologies with operations concentrated primarily in the internet and home
video business segments.
Together
with our subsidiary, we are primarily engaged in the business of developing
and
distributing programming content, multi-media technologies, and advertising
via
the internet. We expect that within the next 12 months we will expand our
advertising areas further into online as well as other alternative music and
video programming formats, including video-on-demand (“VOD”) in the United
States and internationally. We will focus a significant amount of our available
resources to obtain the exclusive distribution rights for additional content
through development, acquisition or licensing arrangements.
We
currently generate revenue through either sub-licensing agreements with third
parties that distribute our licensed content or through direct sales. Our
typical licensing agreement consists of a three to five-year contract that
carries a 15% - 50% royalty on gross sales of licensed product. We are currently
focusing on the manufacture and distribution of our own licensed content and
have seen a significant shift in revenues from sub-licensing agreements to
direct sales.
We
believe that opportunities exist in the VOD space to reach a larger customer
base for the distribution of our content and to generate advertising revenue.
We
will actively pursue this potential source of revenue in the form of licensing
our content in digital format.
Our
primary operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Rebel
Crew
Films, Inc. In addition, we have focused and will continue to focus development
efforts in our internally created ViraCast software. We are organized in a
single operating segment with no long-lived assets outside of the United States
of America. All of our revenues to date have been generated in the United
States, but, with the development of ViraCast and PerreoRadio.com (described
below), we expect that a portion of our future revenues will be from other
countries. Revenue sources could be from distribution of content, advertising
and licensing.
REBEL
CREW FILMS, INC.
Rebel
Crew Films, Inc. was founded in 2001 and our goal is to become a leading
distributor of Latino home entertainment products. Developed to target
Spanish speaking consumers who increasingly demand new Latino content and
classic Spanish language movies, we offer producers and content-providers a
flexible option to the larger Hollywood studio distributors and have emerged
as
a company that attracts premiere home entertainment products.
Our
specialty orientation provides our content partners with focused attention
not
accessible from major Hollywood studios or rental product distributors. We
currently maintain and distribute approximately 200 Spanish language films,
of
which we control the exclusive distribution rights to approximately 52. The
films in which we control the exclusive distribution rights are expected to
provide us with greater profit margins as we expand our direct sales. Our
content library currently consists of approximately 130 titles for which we
exclusively control the distribution rights. As we expand our direct sales
and
increase the number of customers that purchase exclusive content directly from
us, we believe that sales of our exclusive content will begin to represent
a
larger percentage of the total numbers of films that we distribute.
Our
titles can be found at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Blockbuster, K-Mart, and hundreds
of
independent video outlets across the United States of America and Canada. Our
diverse Spanish language programming includes: new releases, classic Mexican
cinema, animation, cult, sports, martial arts, family entertainment, and
more.
PERREORADIO.COM
On
February 7, 2006, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Matthew
B.
Stuart pursuant to which we purchased the following Internet domain names and
all materials, intellectual property, goodwill and records in connection
therewith (the “Assets”):
PerreoRadio.com, Radioperreo.com, Perreomobile.com, Perreotv.com,
Puroperreo.com, Puroreggaeton.com, Purosandungueo.com, Sandungueoradio.com,
Machetemusic.net, Machetemusic.org, Machetemusica.com and
Musicamachete.com.
In
accordance with the purchase of the Assets, we entered a three-year employment
agreement with Mr. Stuart. As consideration for the Assets, we issued Mr. Stuart
and his nominees an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock. All such shares
of common stock are subject to lock up agreements as follows: 25,000 shares
are
subject to a lock up agreement for one year; 25,000 shares are subject to a
lock
up agreement for two years; and 50,000 shares are subject to a lock up agreement
for three years.
PerreoRadio.com
is a Latino based community website that offers online radio shows from some
of
the top DJ’s in the Reggaeton genre. Our intent is to become a recognized leader
in the Spanish-language and Hispanic-targeted markets by capturing the top
DJ’s
in this area and expanding into 12 - 15 markets to syndicate the shows.
Currently, we operate in five markets: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago,
Boston and New York City.
ICODEMEDIA
On
September 19, 2005, upon entering into an asset purchase agreement with Philip
Gatch, we completed the initial transaction to transform the company from that
of a development stage enterprise to a digital media and content delivery
company. The assets purchased consisted of the iCodemedia URL’s and all related
intellectual property (the “iCodemedia
Assets”).
The
iCodemedia URL’s consist of: www.icodemedia.com, www.iplaylist.com,
www.tunecast.com, www.tunebucks.com, www.podpresskit.com and
www.tunespromo.com.
Ultimately,
we intend to develop our iCodemedia Assets as a software publishing solution
for
iTunes and the Apple iPod. , Sony Playstation and multimedia enabled mobile
phones.
VIRACAST
We
are
developing a suite of patent pending applications and services that allow for
the enterprise workflow management, processing, distribution and control of
content for next generation devices and emerging content delivery platforms.
Our
proprietary ViraCast technology provides content producers, advertisers, and
marketers new revenue models built around these emerging platforms with enhanced
user data, reporting, and accountability.
Our
strategy for ViraCast is to pinpoint unexploited and unrealized market
opportunities that emerge from the evolving media and advertising landscapes
and
build solutions around them. In particular, the company is focusing on new
markets that arise from the following sources:
·
|
Podcasting
(the distribution of audio or video files over the Internet for listening
or viewing on mobile devices and personal computers);
|
·
|
Online
Advertising
;
and
|
·
|
Viral
Marketing
(marketing and advertising techniques that use pre-existing social
networks to produce increases in brand awareness through self-replicating
viral processes).
|
We
will
work with content developers, entertainment companies, advertising agencies,
music talent, labels, representatives, distributors, as well as software and
engineering companies to address the needs and requirements of the next
generation of ad supported and paid content delivery technologies.
The
company has successfully utilized its ViraCast technology to enhance and
distribute online radio shows from PerreoRadio.com. We intend to employ this
technology to distribute assets from our library of Spanish language films,
while also marketing and offering the technology to a variety of third-party
content owners and distributors seeking a digital delivery
solution.
INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
We
have
numerous United States and international patents pending that are directed
to
important and innovative aspects of our technology. As the technology evolves we
intend to continue seeking patent protection where appropriate. We will seek
to
enhance our ViraCast product suite and content library through internal
development and acquisition opportunities.
Our
development and production teams are located in Marina Del Rey, CA. We
intend that our facilities in Marina Del Rey will house our content library,
programming, sales and administrative personnel.
CUSTOMERS
For
direct home video DVD sales, our sales associates focus on the largest retail
chains in the country, including Wal-Mart and Blockbuster, via Anderson
Merchandisers and other such sub-distributors. Currently, the sales force
manages more than 100 active retail store customers. Besides our direct selling
effort through telemarketing, we market our products by placing print ads in
a
variety of Latino trade magazines as well as through our website. We have a
dedicated 1-800 toll free number for sales inquiries. For licensing activities,
there are two companies: BCI Eclipse LLC, which has licensed approximately
20
titles: and VAS Entertainment/Rise Above Entertainment ( "VAS/RA"
), which
has licensed approximately 20 titles from us. They function as manufacturers
for
our DVD inventory for those titles, as well as distributors. The agreements
with
these companies consist of a term of three to five years granting the companies
the right to manufacture, promote, and distribute the licensed movies for a
15%
- 50% royalty on gross sales, depending on title. The company intends to expand
its licensing activities into the broadcast, satellite and cable
markets.
The
target customers for our media software are:
·
|
Premium
Advertisers and Content Owners,
including advertising agencies like WPP, Omnicom and Interpublic;
content
owners with their own advertising, such as NBC, CBS, ABC and The
New York
Times; and infomercial creators, like QVC and Williams
Group;
|
·
|
Independent
producers, artists, designers and filmmakers who own untapped content;
and
|
·
|
Advertising
Networks,
including Advertising.com, ValueClick, ClickBooth, CJ.com and
Zedo.
|
SUPPLIERS
We
have
three categories of suppliers - movie licensors, DVD manufacturers, and finished
goods suppliers. Movie licensors consist of Spanish-language movie license
holders primarily from Mexico who enter licensing agreements with us to
manufacture and distribute their movies. We are currently in contract with
eight
different licensors of content. From these agreements, we have manufactured
approximately 52 titles. Agreements with these companies consist of either
a
fixed license fee or a 40-60% royalty on net revenues for the right to
manufacture, promote and distribute the films for four to five years, depending
on title.
For
the
manufacture of DVDs, we use various suppliers depending price and delivery.
We
do not have a written agreement with these suppliers. There is no dependency
on
these suppliers as the supply of DVD manufacturing companies is broad and there
are many potential firms that can be employed to supply our
products.
MARKETING
We
market
our products and services through a broad array of programs and media formats,
including video, internet, advertising campaigns, telemarketing, print
advertisements, retail distribution, and web advertising. Other marketing
strategies include online and offline cross-promotion and
co-branding.
COMPETITION
We
operate in the market for media products, services and content development
and
delivery, which is a highly competitive market characterized by rapid change,
converging technologies, and increasing competition from companies offering
communication, video, music, on-demand information and entertainment services
integrated into other products and media properties. Globally, our most
significant competition in the Spanish language sector is from Univision
Communications, Inc. and Navarre Corp.
The
principal competitive factors relating to attracting and retaining users include
the quality and relevance of our advertising; the effectiveness and efficiency
of our marketing services; the accessibility, integration and personalization
of
the online services that we offer on our website; and the creativity of the
marketing solutions that we offer.
We
also
face competition from companies focused on markets where expertise in a
particular segment of the market (e.g., radio, internet, television) may provide
them a competitive advantage.
Although
accurate numbers are difficult to obtain due to the hesitation of privately
owned distribution companies to divulge sales figures, an independent study
by
Estrenos magazine (a Latin Entertainment Trade Journal) estimates that the
Latino home video distribution market for the first six months of 2005 sold
more
than three million units in the United States. According to Estrenos magazine,
of that number three distributors accounted for approximately 80% of those
sales
- Laguna Films (43%), Ventura/Studio Latino (26%), and Xenon/Televisa (13%)
(data provided by each distributor or source). Other participants in the Latino
home video distribution market include Image Entertainment (7%), Latin Vision
(5%), Brentwood Home Video (3%), Pro-Active Entertainment (2%), and Vanguard
Latino (1%) (Source: Estros magazine, September/October 2005). Based on these
sales performance figures, our monthly sales average currently represents
approximately 1.25% of the monthly average of DVD sales volume in the Latino
video entertainment industry
Additionally,
major U.S. movie studios have ventured into servicing the Latino home video
market as well, selling approximately 1.5 million units in the first half of
2005. Of that amount, approximately 60% of sales were dominated by three studios
- MGM Home Entertainment (26%), Columbia Tri-Star (18%) and Lions Gate Films
(16%). Other such competitors include UMVD/Visual Entertainment (12%),
BVHE/Disney (8%), Warner Home Video (8%), and Fox Home Entertainment (3%)
(Source: Estros magazine, September/October 2005).
We
also
compete with retail music and video stores, including online stores, dominated
by large companies such as Netflix, Blockbuster, Trans World Entertainment,
and
Movie Gallery Inc.
We
may
also face competition from businesses that have announced plans to deliver
entertainment and media content through cell phones and other wireless devices.
Sprint Nextel, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and
Advance/Newhouse Communications recently announced they are forming a joint
venture to work toward accelerating the convergence of video entertainment,
wireline and wireless data and communications products and services to provide
customers throughout the United States access to advanced integrated
entertainment, including streaming television programming, music, video clips,
games and pre-recorded DVR programs, communications and wireless
products.
We
believe that we can effectively compete in the Latino home video markets
primarily by offering competitive prices on a wide variety of quality titles
through direct selling efforts targeted at retail stores across the entire
United States.
SEASONALITY
Our
performance may be affected by seasonal revenue fluctuations and variation
in
demand between local and national advertisers. The Company's revenues may vary
throughout the year. As is typical in the distribution of content, the first
calendar quarter generally produces the lowest revenues.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
below
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is
based upon the accompanying financial statements. The preparation of 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 amounts reported in the financial statements. Critical
accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of
our
financial condition and results of operations and require management's most
difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, often as a result of the need
to
make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical
accounting policy relates to the valuation of our intangible assets and stock
based compensation.
Valuation
of Intangible Assets
We
assess
the impairment of intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the assets or the asset grouping may not
be
recoverable. Factors that we consider in deciding when to perform an impairment
review include significant under-performance of a product line in relation
to
expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant
changes or planned changes in our use of the assets. Recoverability of
intangible assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured
by
comparing the carrying amount of the asset grouping to our estimate of the
related total future net cash flows. If an asset grouping’s carrying value is
not recoverable through the related cash flows, the asset grouping is considered
to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the asset
grouping’s carrying amount and its fair value, based on the best information
available, including market prices or discounted cash flow analysis. Impairments
of intangible assets are determined for groups of assets related to the lowest
level of identifiable independent cash flows. Due to our limited operating
history and the early stage of development of some of our intangible assets,
we
must make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows that
can be related to specific asset groupings. To date we have not recognized
impairments on any of our intangible assets.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
have
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
effective January 1, 2005. Since we had no outstanding options as of
December 31, 2004, SFAS 123(R) would have had no impact on our financial
statements had we elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R) in an earlier
period. The fair value of each option grant, nonvested stock award and shares
issued under the employee stock purchase plan were estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and various inputs to the
model. Expected volatilities were based on historical volatility of our stock.
The expected term represents the period of time that grants and awards are
expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate approximates the
U.S. treasury rate corresponding to the expected term of the option, and
dividends were assumed to be zero. These inputs are based on our assumptions,
which include complex and subjective variables. Other reasonable assumptions
could result in different fair values for our stock-based awards.
Stock-based
compensation expense, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, is recognized on a straight line basis over the service period, net
of
estimated forfeitures. Forfeiture estimates are based on historical data. To
the
extent actual results or revised estimates differ from the estimates used,
such
amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that estimates
are revised.
NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109
, which
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to
be
taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 was effective for us beginning
January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements,
which
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded
disclosure about the information used to measure fair value. This statement
is
effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The statement applies
whenever other statements require, or permit, assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our
total
assets were $892,000 at September 30, 2007 versus $923,000 at December 31,
2006.
The change in total assets is primarily attributable to depreciation and
amortization expense of $173,000 that was offset by an increase in accounts
receivable of $120,000. The depreciation expense consisted of $64,000 in
property and equipment whereas amortization expense consisted of $109,000 in
intangible assets.
The
increase in accounts receivable resulted primarily from growth in DVD sales
of
$61,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 over the preceding
quarter ending June 30, 2007. DVD sales during the three months ended June
30,
2007 and September 30, 2007 were $71,000 and $132,000, respectively. DVD sales
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were
$326,000 and $754,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September
30,
2007, www.Beat9.com, our Internet services business, generated $17,000 in sales
revenue. During the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30,
2007
accounts receivable were $108,000, $116,000, and 183,000, respectively.
The
decrease in intangible assets was due to the acquisition of additional licensed
content and its related amortization. During the nine months ended September
30,
2007, we acquired $12,000 in additional licensed content which was offset by
the
amortization of our licensed content in the amount of $109,000. The decrease
in
property and equipment resulted from the depreciation expense of $64,000 of
our
web services software applications.
We
had a
working capital deficit of approximately $1.61 million on September 30, 2007
and
we continue to have recurring losses. In the past we have primarily relied
upon
loans from related parties to fund our operations and, to a lesser extent,
revenues generated from licensing our film content, on a non-exclusive basis,
to
other distributors of Latino home entertainment content. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are
actively seeking sources of additional financing in order to maintain and
potentially expand our operations and to fund our debt repayment obligations.
Even if we are able to obtain funding, there can be no assurance that a
sufficient level of sales will be attained to fund such operations or that
unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems,
delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated
companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions,
may lead to cost increases that could make the net proceeds of any new funding
and cash flow from operations insufficient to fund our capital requirements.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional
funding from management or other investors on terms acceptable to us, if at
all.
Operating
activities used $724,000 of cash during the nine months ended September 30,
2007
compared to $572,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The change
in cash used for operating activities resulted from a decrease in the Company’s
cost of sales that was completely offset by a decrease in sales revenue and
increase in rent expense. Although the Company’s cost of sales decreased
significantly from $105,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007
compared to $485,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, these
savings were more than offset by the significant decrease in sales from $758,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $347,000 during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the significant increase in rent
expense from $89,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared
to
$176,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Cash
used
in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
of
$15,000, and $147,000, respectively, resulted almost exclusively from the
purchase of licensed Spanish language film content that was capitalized. During
the second quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a subscription agreement
with several accredited investors in a private placement exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities
Act”).
The
Company issued and sold to these accredited investors an aggregate of 2,150,000
shares of its common stock. These issuances resulted in aggregate gross proceeds
to the Company of $215,000.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
We
generated revenues of $347,000 and $764,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30,
2006
almost all of our revenues were generated through sales. In the past, our
revenue was in large part generated through licensing agreements. The licensing
agreements provide for us to receive advance payments as consideration for
rights granted to third parties that distribute our licensed content. The
advance payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently
recognized in income as royalties are earned upon shipment of licensed content
to customers by the sub-licensor. The deferred revenue balance of $70,000 at
September 30, 2007 represents advance royalty payments that are expected to
be
earned over the subsequent twelve month period.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2007, total sales increased
by
$67,000. Sales increased from $77,000 during
the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $144,000 during the three months ended
September 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased sales to our
existing national retail customers. One customer accounted almost exclusively
of
our net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2007.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we did not recognize any licensing
revenue. All of our $347,000 in revenue represents revenue generated through
the
direct sales of our licensed content and web services portal. We expect that
direct sales, as a percentage of total revenue, will comprise the majority
of
revenues over the next year. Further, we will continue to focus on the general
company strategy to manufacture and distribute product from our own library
of
licensed films as we continue our efforts of expanding sales to nation-wide
retailers. Consequently, we anticipate that licensing revenues will
significantly be reduced or eliminated in future years as we shift our focus
away from licensing agreements with third parties and increase our national
exposure through nation-wide retailers. This general strategy has positioned
the
company to reduce overhead costs and significantly increase our gross
margin.
EXPENSES
Operating
expenses were $2,179,000 and $4,374,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The significant component in the decrease
in
operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 comprised
of
a decrease in stock based compensation expense from grants of nonqualified
stock
options to our employees and non-employee directors and a decrease in the cost
of sales.
Cost
of
sales decreased from $485,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
to
a cost of sales of $105,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
For
the three months ended June 30, and September 30, 2007 cost of sales were
$32,320 and $32,290, respectively.
Stock
based compensation expense from grants of nonqualified stock options to our
employees and non-employee directors decreased from $2,429,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 to $962,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30 and September 30, 2007,
stock based compensation expense was $394,600 and $142,200, respectively. The
decrease in stock based compensation expense from grants of nonqualified stock
options in the third quarter resulted primarily from cancellations of
nonqualified stock options to employees no longer with the Company.
Salaries
and employee benefits, excluding stock based compensation expense, reflected
a
significant decrease from $591,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 to $426,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These
reductions in costs reflect a shift in our revenue mix from revenue generated
primarily through licensing agreements and the direct sales of license film
content, which requires a large sales force, to a strategy of manufacturing
and
distributing product from our own library of licensed film content to
nation-wide retailers.
The
remaining operating expenses consisted of professional fees, rent expense,
amortization expense and general and administrative expenses. Professional
fees
were approximately $273,000 less during the nine months ended September 30,
2007
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to significant
decreases in amounts paid for legal and consulting fees which were offset by
an
increase in accounting fees.
Legal
expense comprised the majority of this decrease from the previous year. Legal
fees decrease by $317,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, legal fees were
$375,000 and $58,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September
30,
2006 the majority of legal fees were related to the development of contracts
and
review of major company transactions. In addition, legal fees during this period
were composed of fees paid for S.E.C. filing related matters, private placement
agreements and in preparation for financing activities. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, legal fees were almost exclusively related to patent
and trademark filing along with S.E.C. filing related expenses.
Consulting
fees decrease by $33,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. At
September 30, 2006 and 2007 consulting fees were $48,000 and $15,000,
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the majority
of
consulting expense was related to the development of internal systems, such
as
work-flow production processes and computer and network systems. During this
same period consulting expense also comprised of some sales contracting work.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, consulting expense resulted
from continued sales contracting work. In addition, consulting expense during
this period included work done to further develop the Company’s accounting
department and strengthen the Company’s accounting policies and control
procedures.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2007, operating
expenses decreased
by $305,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2007. The change in operating
expenses in the third quarter 2007 was primarily due to decrease costs
associated with salaries and employee benefits and decreased costs associated
with legal and accounting fees. Salaries and employee benefits during the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 were $550,000 and $288,000,
respectively. The change in salaries and employee benefits resulted primarily
from a reduction of the employee workforce and from cancellations of
nonqualified stock options to employees no longer with the Company. During
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, total legal and
accounting fees decreased from $87,000 to $29,000, respectively. The change
in
total legal and accounting fees resulted from decreased costs associated with
patent & trademark work and decreased costs associated with audit and
accounting fees.
Rent
expense increased by approximately $87,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due
in
part to the company’s lease of additional commercial office space in September
2006, with base rent of $13,000 per month combined with the base rent of $7,000
per month for the current corporate office space. The commercial office space
was leased in anticipation of growth in the company’s web ad technology services
software development.
General
and administrative expense decreased by approximately $19,000 during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September
30,
2006 and is attributed to the strategic overall expansion of the business into
manufacturing and distributing product from our own library of licensed film
content.
Given
the
financials constraints of the Company, interest expense related to the financing
of capital increase significantly from $57,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 to $143,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
NET
LOSS
For
the
nine months ended, September 30, 2006 and 2007 the Company had a net loss of
approximately $3.67 million and $1.98 million, respectively. The Company reduced
its operating expenses by a significant amount 2007 as compared to 2006. During
2007 and 2006, the Company implemented strategies to reduce its cash used in
operating activities which included a targeted reduction of the employee
workforce, increasing the efficiency of the Company's developmental efforts,
reducing discretionary expenditures and negotiating favorable payment
arrangements with service providers.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not
have 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.
RISK
FACTORS
Our
business involves a high degree of risk. Potential investors should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information
in this report before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.
Each of the following risks may materially and adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition. These risks may cause the market
price of our common stock to decline, which may cause you to lose all or a
part
of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE
HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES WHICH MAY CONTINUE AND WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT
OUR
ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND OUR FINANCIAL
RESULTS.
For
the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we generated revenues
of
$347,000 and $764,000, respectively, and incurred net losses of $1,976,000
and
$3,668,000, respectively. At September 30, 2007, we had a working capital
deficit of $1,613,000 and an accumulated deficit of $7,455,000. Our failure
to
increase our revenues significantly or improve our gross margins will harm
our
business. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain
or
increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If our
revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, our gross margins fail to improve,
or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our operating results will
suffer. If we are unable to sell or license our products at acceptable prices
relative to our costs, or if we fail to develop and introduce on a timely basis
new products from which we can derive additional revenues, our financial results
will suffer.
CONCENTRATION
IN A SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
The
Company sells almost exclusively to one of its customers. The customer
owed the Company approximately $163,000 as of September 30, 2007, which is
included in accounts receivable.
OUR
LICENSE REVENUES ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE REVENUES OF OUR CUSTOMERS. IF THE
CONTENT WHICH WE LICENSE TO CUSTOMERS IS NOT USED IN VIDEOS WHICH BECOME POPULAR
AMONG THE VIEWING PUBLIC, OUR REVENUES MAY DECLINE.
We
generate revenue through either licensing agreements with third parties that
distribute our licensed content or through direct sales. Our typical licensing
agreement consists of a three to five-year contract that carries a 15% - 50%
royalty on gross sales of licensed product. If the content which we license
to
customers is not used in videos which become popular among the viewing public,
our revenues may decline.
VARIOUS
CONDITIONS RAISE SUBSTANTIAL ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN;
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING.
At
September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $7.5 million
and a working capital deficit of $1.6 million, which includes a deferred revenue
balance of $70,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred
a loss of $1.98 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we
primarily relied upon revenues generated from the direct sales of our Latino
home entertainment content and on debt investments to fund our operations.
These
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. We
are
actively seeking sources of additional financing in order to maintain and
potentially expand our operations and to fund our debt repayment obligations.
Even if we are able to obtain funding, there can be no assurance that a
sufficient level of sales will be attained to fund such operations or that
unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. Future events, including the problems,
delays, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated
companies, as well as changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions,
may lead to cost increases that could make the net proceeds of any new funding
and cash flow from operations insufficient to fund our capital requirements.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional
funding from management or other investors on terms acceptable to us, if at
all.
Additional financings, or the possible conversion of any of our debt obligations
into equity, will result in dilution for then current stockholders.
OUR
OPERATING SUBSIDIARY REBEL CREW FILMS HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND
THEREFORE WE CANNOT ENSURE THE LONG-TERM SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF OUR BUSINESS
OR
THE EXECUTION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our
operating subsidiary Rebel Crew Films was organized under the laws of the State
of California on August 7, 2002. Because Rebel Crew Films has a limited
operating history, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by growing companies in
evolving markets, such as the Latino home video distribution market in which
we
operate. While to date we have not experienced these problems, we must meet
many
challenges including:
·
|
Establishing
and maintaining broad market acceptance of our products and converting
that acceptance into direct and indirect sources of
revenue;
|
·
|
Establishing
and maintaining our brand name;
|
·
|
Timely
and successfully developing new content and films;
|
·
|
Developing
content that results in high popularity among the viewing
public;
|
·
|
Developing
and maintaining strategic relationships to enhance the distribution
and
features of our video content.
|
Our
business strategy may be unsuccessful and we may be unable to address the risks
we face in a cost-effective manner, if at all. If we are unable to successfully
address these risks our business will be harmed and we may experience a decrease
in revenues.
IF
WE ARE UNABLE TO LICENSE OR ACQUIRE COMPELLING CONTENT AT REASONABLE COSTS
OR IF
WE DO NOT DEVELOP COMPELLING CONTENT, THE NUMBER OF USERS OF OUR SERVICES MAY
NOT GROW AS ANTICIPATED, OR MAY DECLINE, WHICH COULD HARM OUR OPERATING
RESULTS.
Our
future success depends in part upon our ability to aggregate compelling content
and deliver that content through our online and other multi-media properties
and
programming and delivery technologies. We distribute some of the content that
we
license on our online properties, such as audio and video content from third
parties. We have been providing increasing amounts of audio and video content
to
our users as reflected in the increase in direct sales of our content and we
believe that users will increasingly demand high-quality audio and video
content, such as music, film, and other special events. Such content may require
us to make substantial payments to third parties from whom we license or acquire
such content. For example, our entertainment properties rely on film producers
and distributors, and other organizations for a large portion of the content
available on our properties. Our ability to maintain and build relationships
with third-party content providers will be critical to our success. In addition,
as new methods for accessing and delivering content through media formats
becomes available, including through alternative devices, we may need to enter
into amended content agreements with existing third-party content providers
to
cover the new devices. We may be unable to enter into new, or preserve existing,
relationships with the third parties whose content we seek to obtain. In
addition, as competition for compelling content increases both domestically
and
internationally, our content providers may increase the prices at which they
offer their content to us, and potential content providers may not offer their
content on terms agreeable to us. An increase in the prices charged to us by
third-party content providers could harm our operating results and financial
condition. Further, some of our content licenses with third parties may be
non-exclusive. Accordingly, content providers and other media sources such
as
radio or television may be able to offer similar or identical content and
technologies. This increases the importance of our ability to deliver compelling
content and media technologies in order to differentiate from other businesses.
If we are unable to license or acquire compelling content at reasonable prices,
if other companies acquire develop and/or distribute content that is similar
to
or the same as that provided by us, or if we do not develop compelling content
or media technologies, the number of users of our services may not grow as
anticipated, or may decline, which could harm our operating
results.
WE
MAY INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS ENFORCING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND
ANY
DIFFICULTY WITH ENFORCING SUCH RIGHTS MAY CAUSE OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION TO SUFFER.
The
decreasing cost of electronic and computer equipment and related technology
has
made it easier to create unauthorized versions of audio and audiovisual products
such as compact discs, videotapes and DVDs. Similarly, advances in Internet
technology have increasingly made it possible for computer users to share audio
and audiovisual information without the permission of the copyright owners
and
without paying royalties to holders of applicable intellectual property or
other
rights. Unauthorized copies and piracy of these products compete against
legitimate sales of these products. Our revenues are derived from our licensed
video content that is potentially subject to unauthorized copying and
widespread, uncompensated dissemination on the Internet. If our proprietary
video content is copied and distributed without authorization we may incur
substantial costs enforcing our intellectual property rights. If we fail to
obtain appropriate relief or enforcement through the judicial process, or if
we
fail to develop effective means of protecting our intellectual property, our
results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
OUR
CONTENT ASSETS MAY NOT BE COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL WHICH WOULD CAUSE OUR REVENUES
TO DECLINE.
Our
revenue comes from the production and distribution of video content for use
in
Latino home video. The success of content offerings depends primarily upon
their
acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. The market for these
products is highly competitive and competing products are often released into
the marketplace at the same time. The commercial success of a video production
depends on several variable factors, including the quality and acceptance of
competing offerings released into the marketplace at or near the same time
and
the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time
activities. Our business is particularly dependent on the success of a limited
number of releases, and the commercial failure of just a few of these releases
can have a significant adverse impact on results. Our failure to obtain broad
consumer appeal in the Latino community could materially harm our business,
financial condition and prospects for growth.
FAILURE
TO PROPERLY MANAGE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH POTENTIAL WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO
HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES.
Since
we
have limited operating history and our total assets at September 30, 2007
consisted of $14,000 in cash and total current assets of $269,000, any
significant growth will place considerable strain on our financial resources
and
increase demands on our management and on our operational and administrative
systems, controls and other resources. There can be no assurance that our
existing personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support
our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement
appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of this
growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems,
procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employees and maintain
close coordination among our technical, accounting, finance, marketing, sales
and editorial staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or
that
if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into
our
existing staff and systems. We may fail to adequately manage our anticipated
future growth. We will also need to continue to attract, retain and integrate
personnel in all aspects of our operations. Failure to manage our growth
effectively could hurt our business.
IF
WE DO NOT MAINTAIN THE CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, WE MAY
NEVER
DEVELOP BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Our
success is dependent upon the continued service of our current chief executive
officer. To date, we have entered into a written employment agreement with
Jay
Rifkin, our Chief Executive Officer. We do not have key man life insurance
on
any of our executive officers. While none of our executive officers currently
has any definitive plans to retire or leave our company in the near future,
any
of such persons could decide to leave us at any time to pursue other
opportunities. The loss of services of Mr. Rifkin or any of our other executive
management team could cause us to lose revenue.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
OUR
HISTORIC STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR
COMMON STOCK IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE. FURTHER, THE LIMITED MARKET
FOR OUR SHARES WILL MAKE OUR PRICE MORE VOLATILE. THIS MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR
YOU TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK FOR A POSITIVE RETURN ON YOUR
INVESTMENT.
The
public market for our common stock has historically been very volatile. Over
the
past two fiscal years, the market price for our common stock as quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board has ranged from $0.05 to $2.05. The closing sale price for
our common stock on November 15, 2007 was $0.065 per share. Any future market
price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. This price
volatility may make it more difficult for you to sell shares when you want
at
prices you find attractive. We do not know of any one particular factor that
has
caused volatility in our stock price. However, the stock market in general
has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated
or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. Broad market
factors and the investing public's negative perception of our business may
reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. Further, the
market for our common stock is limited and we cannot assure you that a larger
market will ever be developed or maintained. The average daily trading volume
of
our common stock has historically been insignificant. Market fluctuations and
volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could
reduce our market price. As a result, this may make it difficult or impossible
for you to sell our common stock or to sell our common stock for a positive
return on your investment.
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING
MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK
CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR
STOCK.
The
SEC
has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock,"
for
the purposes relevant to us, 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, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny
stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in
penny
stocks; and
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor 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 stocks, the broker
or
dealer must:
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the
person;
and
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks
are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge
and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks
of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock,
a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form:
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both
the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to
the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose
of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under
the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and
principal financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon
this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file
or
submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and forms.
On
April
20, 2007, William B. Horne submitted his resignation as Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Horne will remain a director of the Company. In addition, Mr. Horne has
been
appointed to the Company’s Audit Committee. Mr. Horne’s decision to resign is
not the result of any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s
operations, policies or practices, nor regarding the general direction of the
Company. This was filed with the Commission on April 26, 2007 Form 8-K Item
5.02.
On
May 1,
2007, the Company hired a full time employee with the specific tasks to
formalize the accounting department policies and procedures and to implement
strict financial controls related to the review and approval of transactions,
accounting entries, journal entries, timely reconciliation of general ledger
account activity and balances, and of all Company financial related
matters.
These
changes resulted primarily from the Company’s commitment to ensure that the
proper financial procedures, policies and controls are in place to better
position the Company for growth. Furthermore, these changes also resulted in
part from a letter to the Company dated May 8, 2007 from our prior independent
accountant, Squar Milner.
In
that
letter Squar Milner advised the Company that during its audit of the financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006, they noted the
following significant deficiencies involving internal control and its
operation that it considers in aggregate to be material weaknesses: Inadequate
staffing and oversight of accounting department; Absence of appropriate
policies, procedures and effective controls related to the review and approval
of transactions, and timely reconciliation of general ledger account activity
and balances; Absence of policies, procedures and effective controls
related to the financial close process and preparation of financial statement
and disclosures; and inadequate documentation and support for certain
transactions. Squar Milner also noted in same letter that the above noted
weaknesses did not result in any adjustments during the audit of the
December 31, 2006 financial statements. The Company has made addressing such
deficiencies or material weaknesses a high priority. The Company’s Audit
Committee has discussed the foregoing matters with Squar Milner. The Company
fully intends to improve our internal control over financial reporting through
the hiring of full time accounting staff, increased independence of the
accounting department, continued training of our accounting staff, working
closely with independent accountants, and with the continued commitment of
management to constantly strive for the improvement of our accounting policies,
procedures and financial controls. Our management will work with our auditors
and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are
adequate and effective. We are confident that this effort will be sufficient
to
fully remedy these deficiencies or material weaknesses and better position
the
Company for growth.
Effective
as of May 8, 2007, the Company engaged Tarvaran, Askelson & Company, LLP as
its principal independent accountants to audit the financial statements of
the
Company. The change in the Company’s independent accountants was approved by the
Company’s Audit Committee and filed with the Commission on May 21, 2007 on Form
8-K Item 4.01.
PART
II
We
are
not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject
of
a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business
or
otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our
directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our
business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
On
August
29, 2007, we granted Alan Morelli, as consideration for service on our Board
of
Directors, options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock with an exercise
price of $0.14 per share, and on August 29, 2007, we granted to five other
persons, as consideration for services on behalf of the Company, options to
purchase an aggregate of 395,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price
of $0.14 per share. These stock options vest annually over four years beginning
August 29, 2007. The issuance of these stock options was exempt from
registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
On
September 30, 2007, we issued 556,102 shares of common stock to Ault Glazer
Capital Partners, LLC (“Ault Glazer”) pursuant to a Termination Agreement
entered into with Ault Glazer on September 30, 2007 pursuant to which Ault
Glazer agreed to convert
at $0.10 per share the principal and all interest accrued from inception of
certain promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $55,610.24. The
securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant
to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
