Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Net revenue increased by approximately 206% from $14,198 in 2008 to $43,424 in 2009, driven by hardware sales and subscription services from Wireless Village.
- Loss Reduction: Net loss decreased significantly from $(350,866) in 2008 to $(72,915) in 2009. The 2008 loss included a one-time impairment of goodwill of $207,940 related to the Wireless Village acquisition.
- Asset Base: Total assets declined from $40,109 to $27,651, primarily due to cash burn and depreciation of property and equipment.
- Capital Structure: Issued 1,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for cash proceeds of $50,000 during the fiscal year.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Going Concern: The independent auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion. The company has an accumulated deficit of over $4.2 million and faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue operations without additional financing. Management plans to pursue equity financing and potential reverse mergers.
Legal Contingency: A default judgment of $135,000 plus interest and legal fees was awarded to Brookside Investments Ltd in 2002. The company has accrued this amount but has no assets available for liquidation to satisfy the judgment. As of September 2009, the creditor has not attempted to enforce the judgment.
Operational Risks:
- Financing: Future operations depend entirely on raising additional capital. If financing is not secured, operations may cease.
- Management Compensation: Officers and directors are working without pay; there is no guarantee they will continue to do so indefinitely.
- Intellectual Property: The company forfeited its interest in the "Music of Your Life" intellectual property due to non-payment of a related loan.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Going Concern Status: Verify the company's ability to secure immediate financing to cover operating costs and accrued liabilities.
- Legal Judgment: Confirm the status of the $135,000+ default judgment from Brookside Investments and any potential enforcement actions.
- Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of the revenue increase, noting that gross profit remains negative (Cost of Revenue exceeded Revenue).
- Related Party Transactions: Review the $142,500 in notes payable to related parties and the $2,398 due to the CEO's consulting firm (Wallen Group).
- Stock Dilution: Note the significant number of shares outstanding (178M common + 6M preferred) and the potential for further dilution if financing is raised via equity.
