Cash increased by $5 net during the quarter. The filing reports $27,924 due to related parties, and separately lists accounts payable of $20,534 and accrued expenses of $8,749. Related-party demand loans bear 10% interest. No interest was paid in the quarter.
Changes, outlook and risks
- Net loss narrowed by $2,873 (about 43%), mainly as general and administrative costs and professional fees declined. Interest expense increased to $647 from $203; depreciation remained $1,048.
- Management expects operating losses over the next 12 months and says anticipated sales income will not be sufficient to meet working-capital needs. It is seeking equity or debt financing; there is no assurance financing will be available. Management states the company lacks cash resources to meet operating commitments for the next 12 months.
- The filing identifies substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, citing recurring losses, a $224,283 accumulated deficit, a $59,671 working-capital deficit, and dependence on additional financing. The financial statements include no adjustments for a possible failure to continue as a going concern.
- In December 2011, the CEO advanced a further $4,835. The filing anticipates no significant near-term research and development or major equipment purchases; it reports no employees other than the unpaid CEO.
- Disclosure controls and procedures were assessed as ineffective, citing lack of an independent board or audit committee, inadequate segregation of duties, and reliance on a financial consultant for financial reporting. No material legal proceedings were reported; risk factors were said to be unchanged from the 2011 Form 10-K.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the issuer identity: the filing names Sport Endurance, Inc., not SRX Global Inc.
- Assess the company’s ability to obtain financing and meet near-term obligations; quarter-end cash was only $42 and related-party loans are due on demand.
- Verify the plan, timing, and funding required to launch the intended energy-drink business, which had not commenced operations.
- Review the disclosure-control weaknesses and management’s plan to address them, which depends on obtaining additional resources.
- Check the filing’s period-comparison wording: one MD&A sentence appears to label both net-loss periods as ended November 30, 2011, although the financial statements compare 2011 with 2010.
