Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Composition: The Company generated $173,011 in revenue from continuing operations in 2009, compared to zero in 2008. This revenue is derived from the Gotham subsidiary ($166,661) and is offset by significant operating losses.
- Discontinued Operations: Income from discontinued operations (revenue share from Digi-Data Corporation) increased significantly to $923,739 in 2009 from $553,363 in 2008. This stream remains the primary driver of net income.
- Expense Growth: General and Administrative expenses surged to $861,512 in 2009 from $196,589 in 2008. This increase is attributed to officer salaries, professional fees for the Jekyll acquisition, and the operational costs of the Gotham subsidiary.
- Balance Sheet Strength: Total liabilities decreased by approximately $289,000, primarily due to the repayment of liabilities associated with discontinued operations. Cash reserves more than doubled to $857,074.
- Acquisition: In October 2009, the Company acquired the assets of Jekyll Island Ventures (Gotham Photo Company) for 500,000 shares of common stock and 1,500,000 warrants, resulting in $185,000 of recorded goodwill.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Strategic Focus: Management intends to expand Gotham's operations into new markets (Boston, Philadelphia, etc.) and actively seeks to acquire additional technology companies. Future acquisitions are expected to be funded through stock issuance and warrants.
- Liquidity: The Company believes it has sufficient capital to fund operations for the next 12 months. However, Gotham is not currently cash flow positive, having generated a net loss of $124,954 in 2009.
- Key Risk - Revenue Concentration: The filing explicitly states that the discontinued operations (payments from Digi-Data) are the Company's sole source of significant income. If Digi-Data fails to generate sufficient revenue or ceases operations, substantial doubt would be raised regarding iGambit's ability to continue as a going concern.
- Contractual Obligations: The revenue share agreement with Digi-Data is set to expire on February 28, 2011. The Company has no other significant revenue streams currently.
- Market Status: There is currently no established public trading market for the Company's common stock.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Revenue Dependency: Verify the sustainability of the Digi-Data revenue share payments, which account for the vast majority of the Company's net income.
- Gotham Viability: Assess the growth trajectory of the Gotham subsidiary, which is currently operating at a loss and requires capital to expand.
- Expiration Date: Note the February 2011 expiration of the Digi-Data agreement and the lack of a defined replacement revenue strategy.
- Stock Dilution: Review the impact of outstanding warrants (3,085,000) and options (1,796,900) on future equity dilution, particularly given the Company's strategy to fund acquisitions via stock issuance.
- Related Party Transactions: Confirm the resolution of the $350,000 deferred compensation owed to officers, which was repaid in 2009.
