Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Going Concern: Management explicitly states that available funds ($46,229) will not satisfy working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Additional financing is required to continue operations.
- Capital Needs: The company anticipates needing approximately $5,000 to complete website development and additional capital to market services and develop the Mexico property. They have experienced significant difficulties raising capital due to tightening credit markets.
- Strategic Plan: Focus is on assessing the feasibility of building "surf casas" or subdividing the Mexico property for sale. The Bali pilot program aims to determine the feasibility of a small resort there.
- Risks: Failure to raise additional capital or generate revenue could lead to business failure. There is no assurance that officers or shareholders will contribute funds to cover expenses.
- Tax Status: The company has a federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $143,000 (expiring 2029), but a 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax asset.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Capital Adequacy: Verify if the company has secured the additional financing required to survive the next 12 months, as management admits current cash is insufficient.
- Revenue Generation: Confirm if the pilot programs in Mexico and Bali have progressed to a stage capable of generating revenue, as the company has had zero revenue since 2006.
- Related Party Transactions: Review the valuation of office space provided by a director at no charge, recorded as rent expense and additional paid-in capital.
- Asset Valuation: Assess the fair value and liquidity of the real property investment in Mexico ($61,335) and the Bali property ($5,200) given the lack of operating income.
- Shareholder Commitments: Determine if principal shareholders have made any formal commitments to fund future operations, as the filing states they are not currently committed.
