Operating cash flow was negative primarily because of increased inventory and accrued expenses, partially offset by collections of accounts receivable. Cash declined by approximately $62,579 during the year. The company reported approximately $522,773 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, including a $135,000 accrued judgment, tax and payroll liabilities, accrued interest and audit fees.
Management stated that prior financing primarily came from insiders and shareholders. The company had converted or consolidated significant related-party obligations into convertible debt, including a $204,700 debenture bearing interest at 4.944% and convertible into common stock at $0.02 per share. The filing does not provide a conventional bank facility or committed external liquidity source.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
- Revenue declined 9.2%, while gross margin remained approximately 44%.
- General and administrative expense increased by approximately $330,542, contributing to a loss from continuing operations.
- Net income attributable to the company increased because of a $340,743 gain on disposal of Planet Halo, despite weaker continuing operations.
- Operating cash flow changed from positive $86,045 to negative $112,710.
- Accounts receivable declined 57% to $113,386, while inventory increased more than fivefold to $190,281.
- The company acquired the remaining minority interest in Wireless Village on January 31, 2013 by issuing 10,000,000 Series B preferred shares, making Janus Cam wholly owned.
- The company issued 560,000 Series B preferred shares in settlement of $112,000 of principal and accrued interest and received forgiveness of $75,450 of related-party payables.

Outlook, Risks and Unusual Items
Management planned to expand Janus Cam’s distribution channels, add products, launch or promote proprietary offerings, develop a lower-cost consumer product, pursue fleet-management opportunities, reduce selling costs through third-party distributors and seek software and product-development partners.
The independent auditor stated that cumulative losses of $4,573,889, historical liquidity constraints and other factors raised substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believed its operating initiatives, improved distribution, management of accrued expenses, subsidiary disposal and potential financing or strategic partnerships would support operations for the following 12 months. The financial statements contained no adjustments for the possible effects of a failure to continue as a going concern.
- Continuing operations were loss-making and did not generate positive operating cash flow.
- The company depended on supplier relationships and timely payment of vendors while carrying substantial accrued liabilities.
- The business faced competition, uncertain customer demand, limited operating history and execution risk in expanding distribution.
- Preferred-stock issuances and conversion rights created substantial potential dilution and voting concentration.
- The company had an accumulated tax loss carryforward of approximately $4.8 million, but a 100% valuation allowance was recorded because realization was not considered reasonably assured.
- The company settled a trademark dispute by paying $2,500, surrendering the 3rdeyecam.com domain and rebranding as Janus Cam.
- The company continued to accrue a $135,000 historical Brookside judgment even though the filing states the judgment had lapsed and was no longer enforceable absent further legal action.
Investor Verification Items
- Verify the issuer identity: the source filing names Concierge Technologies, Inc., while the request identifies Marygold Companies, Inc.
- Verify the reporting period: the source is an annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, not a 2012 fourth-quarter filing.
- Reconcile the reported revenue figures of $2,207,756, $2,219,313 and the cover-page revenue of $2,219,626, which reflect different presentations or source inconsistencies.
- Assess recurring profitability and cash generation excluding the $340,743 Planet Halo disposal gain and other one-time adjustments.
- Review the going-concern disclosure, negative working capital, accrued liabilities and available financing sources.
- Evaluate dilution and control implications of Series B preferred stock, including the 20-to-1 conversion and voting rights.
- Confirm the terms, maturity and potential conversion of the $204,700 related-party convertible debenture.
- Review related-party transactions, including management fees paid to an entity controlled by the CEO and compensation paid to subsidiary executives.
- Confirm the status and accounting treatment of the accrued $135,000 Brookside judgment and the Planet Halo disposal.
