Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Operating Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses surged to $58,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3,938 in the same period in 2009. This $54,601 increase was driven by wages paid to the interim president and board of directors to update records and strategic planning, as well as increased accounting costs.
- Net Loss: The net loss increased to $(80,274) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $(25,673) in the prior year period, directly correlating with the spike in G&A expenses.
- Revenue: Revenue remained flat at $5,697 compared to the prior year period, as income is solely dependent on distributions from the Canyon Shadows investment.
- Capital Structure: The Company issued significant shares of common stock in 2010 as compensation to directors and officers (e.g., 10.3 million shares to the President/CEO and 1.75 million shares to various directors), resulting in dilution.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Going Concern: The filing includes a "Going Concern" warning. The Company has an accumulated deficit of over $15 million and current liabilities exceeding current assets. Management states that the ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses. If capital cannot be raised, the Company may be forced to cease operations.
- Outlook: Management plans to raise capital through sales of common stock, converting promissory notes into stock, or entering into acquisition agreements with profitable entities. The Company is seeking to utilize its substantial Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards (approx. $14.1 million) to reduce future tax effects.
- Risks:
- Debt Default: The Company is in default on two notes payable, though creditors have not pursued legal action.
- Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of September 30, 2010, citing a lack of personnel with GAAP experience, insufficient resources, and lack of segregation of duties.
- Liquidity: Cash balances are insufficient to fund operations without additional financing or investment distributions.
- Unusual Items: A significant portion of expenses in Q3 2010 was non-recurring, related to "catch-up" accounting and strategic planning to bring the company's records up to date.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the $640,801 in notes payable and whether creditors have initiated collection proceedings given the default status.
- Confirm the valuation of the $82,662 investment in Canyon Shadows, L.P., as it is the Company's only significant asset and revenue source.
- Assess the feasibility of management's plan to raise capital via stock sales or acquisitions given the current stock price and market conditions.
- Review the effectiveness of the remediation plan for the identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
- Monitor the utilization of the $14.1 million Net Operating Loss carryforward and any limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
