Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Going Concern: The filing includes a substantial "Going Concern" warning. The Company has an accumulated deficit of over $4.2 million and relies on the ability to raise additional capital to continue operations. Management states that without additional financing, operations may be impossible.
Liquidity: Cash on hand is minimal ($6,691). The Company has been unable to pay significant salaries or commercial accounts payable. Funding has historically come from insider loans and equity sales.
Contingencies:
- Litigation: A default judgment of $135,000 plus legal fees was awarded to Brookside Investments Ltd in 2002. This amount is accrued in liabilities.
- Collateral Risk: Planet Halo leased digital satellite receivers funded by a loan secured by intellectual property. If the loan is not repaid by January 2009, the Company will forfeit the intellectual property.
Plan of Operation: Management plans to expand Wireless Village's operations in Cleveland and assist Planet Halo in acquiring hardware for California coastal areas. They also intend to pursue government bids for wireless networks.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Capital Adequacy: Verify if the Company has secured the additional financing required to meet the February 15, 2009, debt maturity and avoid forfeiture of intellectual property.
- Revenue Sustainability: Confirm if the recent revenue increase ($14,761) is sustainable given the Company's history of operating losses and lack of salaried staff.
- Related Party Dependence: Assess the risk associated with the Company's reliance on related party loans (over $160k) and the administrative account held by the CEO's consulting firm.
- Legal Exposure: Review the status of the $135,000 accrued judgment and any potential for additional legal fees.
- Asset Valuation: Note that goodwill from the Wireless Village acquisition ($207,940) was fully impaired as of June 30, 2008, and verify the current value of remaining intangible assets.
