Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Plan of Operation: Management plans to offer hourly consulting, retainer contracts, and project consulting. They anticipate overhead costs will remain constant as revenues develop and aim to achieve profitability by the end of fiscal year 2009. Capital costs for the next 12 months are estimated at $10,000 to $12,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: The company is minimally capitalized. Management states that until operations become cash flow positive, officers and directors will fund operations. Mr. Milonas, the President, has agreed to loan necessary funds through December 31, 2009. There are no definitive plans for additional equity or debt financing beyond these loans.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Going Concern: Accountants have expressed doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to continued net losses and lack of operating history.
- Profitability: There is no assurance the company will ever be profitable. Failure to generate sufficient revenue could lead to liquidation.
- Competition: The company faces intense competition from larger, more established firms with greater financial resources.
- Stock Liquidity: The stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board as a "penny stock," subject to strict SEC rules that limit liquidity. Approximately 99% of outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale.
- Key Person Risk: Operations depend heavily on Mr. Milonas; there are no written employment agreements or key man insurance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Going Concern Status: Verify the company's ability to secure funding beyond the President's personal loans to sustain operations past December 2009.
- Revenue Generation: Confirm if any client contracts or revenue-generating activities have commenced since the filing date, as the company has generated $0 revenue since inception.
- Debt Obligations: Review the terms of the $22,000 in notes payable to understand repayment schedules and interest rates.
- Stock Restrictions: Note that 99% of shares are restricted, which may severely impact the ability to liquidate an investment.
- Management Commitment: Assess the reliance on a single individual (Mr. Milonas) for all operational decisions and funding.
