Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Going Concern: The auditors have raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the company cannot continue operations.
- Financing Needs: Management plans to raise additional funds by January 2011 to cover expenses and finance the first real estate acquisition. Failure to raise capital could result in the cessation of operations.
- Business Plan: The company intends to spend approximately 80% of raised capital on real estate acquisitions and 5% on liquid assets. It plans to close its first deal by May 2011, contingent on funding.
- Internal Controls: Management identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting due to a lack of checks and balances (only one consultant oversees bank reconciliations and payables).
- Stock Trading: The stock trades on the OTCBB under the symbol PMLT. It is subject to SEC "penny stock" rules, which may limit liquidity and trading activity.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Capital Sufficiency: Verify if the company has secured the necessary equity financing by the stated deadline (January 2011) to avoid operational shutdown.
- Related Party Transactions: Review the terms of the $15,872 related-party note payable and the valuation of shares issued to consultants to ensure fair market value.
- Internal Control Remediation: Confirm if the company has hired additional personnel to address the material weakness in internal controls.
- Subsequent Events: Note that after the fiscal year-end, the CEO resigned (Oct 2010) and new shares were issued (Oct 2010) for $22,529 in cash.
- Asset Ownership: Confirm that the company still holds no real estate assets and has no binding purchase agreements as of the filing date.
