Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Increase: Revenues increased from $7,600 in 2007 to $45,500 in 2008. This was primarily due to an unusual distribution from the Company's sole investment, Canyon Shadows.
- Profitability: The Company reported a net income of $397,373 in 2008 compared to $99,067 in 2007. This improvement was largely attributable to the $407,000 gain on debt forgiveness, rather than operational earnings.
- Liability Reduction: Total liabilities decreased by approximately $370,000 (from $1.39M to $1.02M) due to debt restructuring and settlements.
- Investment Valuation: The carrying value of the Canyon Shadows investment decreased from $121,785 in 2007 to $121,145 in 2008, reflecting a reduction of $640.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Going Concern: The auditors issued a "going concern" opinion. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $14.96 million (as of 2009) and a working capital deficit. There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue operations without additional financing or profitable operations.
- Liquidity Risk: Cash on hand was only $28,378 at year-end 2008. The Company relies on distributions from its single investment and potential debt conversions to fund operations.
- Debt Default: As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in default on two notes payable with accrued interest totaling $162,541. Note holders have not taken legal action as of the filing date.
- Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2009, citing a lack of personnel with GAAP experience, insufficient segregation of duties, and no audit committee.
- Stock Status: The stock is deemed a "penny stock" (trading under $5.00), which limits liquidity and imposes suitability requirements on broker-dealers.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify Debt Status: Confirm if the defaulted notes (totaling ~$640k principal plus accrued interest) have been settled or if legal action has been initiated since the filing date.
- Assess Going Concern: Determine if the Company has secured the additional capital required to fund operations, as the auditors explicitly stated the financial statements do not include adjustments if the Company cannot continue.
- Check Investment Viability: Verify the current status and cash flow generation of the Canyon Shadows Apartments investment, which is the Company's sole revenue source.
- Review Internal Controls: Investigate if the Company has remediated the material weaknesses in internal controls identified in the 2009 report.
- Confirm Stock Ownership: Note that 10.3 million shares were rescinded from the former interim president subsequent to 2009; verify current share count and dilution risks.
