PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This Summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. It does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Common Stock. We encourage you to read the entire Prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and the notes to those financial statements.

 

Company Overview

 

In Touch Media Group, Inc. is a Florida corporation, which provides on-line marketing and research to assist businesses in their efforts to increase traffic to their web sites and generate leads for new customers. We employ design based market research, search engine advertising, search engine publicity campaigns and strategically placed web site advertising. We refer to this as “In Touch Marketing” or “Intelligent Marketing”. We believe our services increase search engine advertising returns by improving rank, hit ratios, web site stickiness, and reducing cost per click.

 

We were incorporated in 2002 under the name Data Resources Consulting, Inc. In April 2005, we merged with Universal Health Care Management Systems, Inc. (“Universal”). In June 2005, we changed our name to In Touch Media Group, Inc. For financial statement purposes, this merger was treated as a reverse acquisition with In Touch being treated as the acquirer. In connection with this merger, our shareholders initially received 21,297,573 shares of Universal’s Common Stock (which amount was supposed to represent 82.5% of the outstanding number of Universal’s shares after the merger). However, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective date of the merger, Universal settled certain liabilities by issuing 381,511 shares of its common stock and accordingly, immediately prior to the merger Universal had 4,899,178 shares outstanding. Accordingly, in January 2006, pursuant to the terms of the merger we restored the aforementioned 82.5% ownership position of the In Touch shareholders by issuing an additional 1,798,552 shares to such shareholders.

RISK FACTORS

 

Any investment in our common stock may involve a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before purchasing our common stock. If any of the events described below occurs, our business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY, OUR BUSINESS, AND OUR INDUSTRY

 

Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult.

 

We were originally incorporated in the state of Florida on December 26, 2001, as Universal Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. to develop a medical facility for the purpose of providing treatment for cancer related diseases. We were unable to obtain the necessary financing to complete development of the medical facility and discontinued our efforts to do so. On April 21, 2005, we were the surviving entity (from a legal and public reporting perspective) in a merger with Data Resource Consulting, Inc. In June 2005, we changed our name to In Touch Media Group, Inc.

 

We have limited historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses or forecast accurately our future operating results. Further, our limited operating history will make it difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our business and prospects. Our failure to address these risks and difficulties successfully could seriously harm us.

 

We have incurred losses and may incur losses in the future, which may impact our ability to implement our business strategy and adversely affect our financial condition.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Historically we have not generated sufficient revenues from operations to self-fund our capital and operating requirements, and we incurred net losses of approximately $(1,795,000) for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $(1,033,090) for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. We used cash of approximately $609,300 and $318,000 for operating activities during those time periods respectively. We had a stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2006 of approximately $(1,830,400) In addition, at March 31, 2006, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $(900,000). These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.

If we are unable to successfully execute our growth strategy, our business and future results of operations may suffer.

Our growth strategy includes broadening the scope of our service offerings. In connection with our growth strategy, we will be required to increase our sales and marketing efforts. Our growth strategy exposes us to a number of risks, including the following:

 

 

 

 

Growth may strain our management, capital resources, information systems and customer service.

 

 

 

 

Hiring new employees may increase training costs and may result in temporary inefficiencies as the employees learn their jobs.

 

 

 

 

Expanding our service offerings may require us to enter new markets and compete with additional competitors.

We cannot assure you that we will overcome the risks associated with our growth. If we fail to overcome such risks, we may not realize additional revenue or profitability from our efforts, and/or we may incur additional expenses. Therefore our financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our information technology systems are subject to certain risks that we cannot control.

Our information systems, including our accounting systems, are dependent, to an extent, upon third-party software, global communications providers, telephone systems and other aspects of technology and Internet infrastructure that are susceptible to failure. Our information technology remains susceptible to outages, computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions that may inhibit our ability to provide services to our customers and the ability of our customers to access our systems. This may result in the loss of customers or a reduction in demand for our services. In addition, we are in the process of transitioning to a new third-party software platform and we cannot assure you that this transition will be successful and will not disrupt our operations. If disruption occurs, our profitability and results of operations may suffer.

 

We face intense competition from larger, more established companies, and we may not be able to compete effectively, which could reduce demand for our services.

 

The online paid search market is intensely competitive. Although we currently pursue a strategy that allows us to partner with owners of websites and search engines, our current and future advertising and distribution network partners may view us as a threat to their own internal paid search services. Nearly all of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may secure more favorable revenue sharing arrangements with network distributors, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive growth strategies and devote substantially more resources to website and systems development than we do. In addition, the search industry has recently experienced consolidation, including the acquisitions of companies offering paid search services. Industry consolidation has resulted in larger, more established and well-financed competitors with a greater focus on paid search services. If these industry trends continue, or if we are unable to compete in the paid search market, our financial results may suffer.

 

If we do not maintain and grow a critical mass of advertising network and distribution network partners, the value of our services could be adversely affected.

 

Our success depends, in part, on the maintenance and growth of a critical mass of advertising network and distribution network partners and a continued interest in our performance-based advertising and search marketing services. If our business is unable to achieve a growing base of advertisers through our advertising network partners, our current distribution partners may be discouraged from continuing to work with us and this may create obstacles for us to enter into agreements with new distribution partners. Similarly, if our distribution network does not grow and does not continue to improve over time, current and prospective advertising network partners may reduce or terminate their business with us. Any decline in the number of advertising network and distribution network partners could adversely affect the value of our services.

 

We expect that our anticipated future growth including through potential acquisitions, may strain our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Key components of our business strategy include (i) strengthening our competitive position in the direct navigation market through selective acquisitions of complementary business, services or technologies or (ii) engaging in strategic alliances with third parties. Integrating any newly acquired web property or company may be expensive and time-consuming. To finance any acquisition, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, and, in the case of equity financings, would result in dilution to our shareholders. Any such transactions would be accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in such transactions, including, among others, the difficulty of assimilating operations, technology and personnel of the combined companies, the potential disruption of our ongoing business, the inability to retain key technical and managerial personnel, the inability of

 

5

 



 

management to maximize our financial and strategic position through the successful integration of acquired businesses, additional expenses associated with amortization of acquired intangible assets, the maintenance of uniform standards, controls and policies, the impairment of relationships with existing employees and customers, and potential overpayment for a company or its assets. We have limited experience in these types of acquisitions, and we may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other potential problems. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate any acquisitions or, if consummated, successfully integrate the operations and management of future acquisitions. If we are unable to attract and consummate acquisitions, our growth could be adversely impacted.

 

If we fail to detect click-through fraud, we could lose the confidence of our advertising network partners, thereby causing our business to suffer.

 

We are exposed to the risk of fraudulent or illegitimate clicks on sponsored listings. If fraudulent clicks are not detected, the affected advertisers may experience a reduced return on their investment in pay-per-click advertising programs because the fraudulent clicks will not lead to revenue for the advertisers. As a result, our advertising network partners may become dissatisfied with us, which could lead to loss of advertising network partners and revenue.

 

The market for Internet and paid search advertising services is in the early stages of development, and if the market for our services decreases it will have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Internet marketing and advertising, in general, and paid search advertising, in particular, are in the early stages of development. Our future revenue and profits are substantially dependent upon the continued widespread acceptance, growth, and use of the Internet and other online services as effective advertising mediums. Many of the largest advertisers have generally relied upon more traditional forms of media advertising and have only limited experience advertising on the Internet. Paid search, in particular, is still in an early stage of development and may not be accepted by consumers for many reasons including, among others, that consumers may conclude that paid search results are less relevant and reliable than non-paid search results, and may view paid search results less favorably than search results generated by non-paid search engines. If consumers reject our paid search services, or commercial use of the Internet generally, and the number of click-throughs on listings in our distribution network decreases, the commercial utility of our search services could be adversely affected.

 

Our future success will depend upon the continued development and enhancement of our services and technologies.

 

The Internet and online commerce industries are characterized by rapid technological change, changing market conditions and customer demands. Our future success will substantially depend on our ability to enhance our existing services, develop new services and proprietary technology and respond to technological advances in a timely and cost-effective manner. The development of our systems and other proprietary technologies entails significant technical and business risk. If we are unable to capitalize on our new services and continue to enhance our existing services in a cost-effective manner, our business could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our technical systems are vulnerable to interruption and damage that may be costly and time-consuming to resolve and may harm our business and reputation.

 

A disaster could interrupt our services for an indeterminate length of time and severely damage our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from:

 

 

 

fire;

 

 

 

floods;

 

 

 

network failure;

 

 

 

6

 



 

 

 

 

 

hardware failure;

 

 

 

software failure,

 

 

 

power loss;

 

 

 

telecommunications failures;

 

 

 

break-ins;

 

 

 

terrorism, war or sabotage;

 

 

 

computer viruses;

 

 

 

denial of service attacks;

 

 

 

penetration of our network by unauthorized computer users and “hackers” and other similar events;

 

 

 

natural disaster; and

 

 

 

other unanticipated problems.

 

We may not have developed or implemented adequate protections or safeguards to overcome any of these events. We also may not have anticipated or addressed many of the potential events that could threaten or undermine our technology network. Any of these occurrences could cause material interruptions or delays in our business, result in the loss of data or render us unable to provide services to our customers. In addition, if a person is able to circumvent our security measures, he or she could destroy or misappropriate valuable information or disrupt our operations. We have deployed firewall hardware intended to thwart hacker attacks. Although we maintain property insurance and business interruption insurance, our insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses that may occur as a result of a catastrophic system failure or other loss, and our insurers may not be able or may decline to do so for a variety of reasons.

 

If we fail to address these issues in a timely manner, we may lose the confidence of our advertising network and distribution network partners, our revenue may decline and our business could suffer. In addition, as we expand our service offerings and enter into new business areas, we may be required to significantly modify and expand our software and technology platform. If we fail to accomplish these tasks in a timely manner, our business and reputation will likely suffer.

 

We rely on third party technology, server and hardware providers, and a failure of service by these providers could adversely affect our business and reputation.

 

We rely upon third party data center providers to host our main servers and expect to continue to do so. In the event that these providers experience any interruption in operations or cease operations for any reason or if we are unable to agree on satisfactory terms for continued hosting relationships, we would be forced to enter into a relationship with other service providers or assume hosting responsibilities ourselves. If we are forced to switch hosting facilities, we may not be successful in finding an alternative service provider on acceptable terms or in hosting the computer servers ourselves. We may also be limited in our remedies against these providers in the event of a failure of service. In the past, we have experienced short-term outages in the service maintained by one of our current co-location providers. We also rely on third party providers for components of our technology platform, such as hardware and software providers, and domain name registrars. A failure or limitation of service or available capacity by any of these third party providers could adversely affect our business and reputation.

 

 

7

 



 

 

We depend on the growth of the Internet and Internet infrastructure for our future growth and any decrease or less than anticipated growth in Internet usage could adversely affect our business prospects.

 

Our future revenue and profits, if any, depend upon the continued widespread use of the Internet as an effective commercial and business medium. Factors which could reduce the widespread use of the Internet include:

 

 

 

possible disruptions or other damage to the Internet or telecommunications infrastructure;

 

 

 

failure of the individual networking infrastructures of our advertising network and distribution network partners to alleviate potential overloading and delayed response times;

 

 

 

a decision by merchant advertisers to spend more of their marketing dollars in offline areas;

 

 

 

increased governmental regulation and taxation; and

 

 

 

actual or perceived lack of security or privacy protection.

 

In particular, concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services, especially online commerce. In order for the online commerce market to develop successfully, we and other market participants must be able to transmit confidential information, including credit card information, securely over public networks. Any decrease or less than anticipated growth in Internet usage could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects.

 

Our executive officers and certain key personnel are critical to our success, and the loss of these officers and key personnel could harm our business.

 

Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued services and performance of our executive officers and other key personnel, including Laura A. Betterly, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert J. Cefail, our Vice President and Steven Blom our head of research and development.. Our performance also depends on our ability to retain and motivate our officers and key employees. The loss of the services of any of our officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. The failure to attract and retain our officers or the necessary technical, managerial and marketing personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We anticipate that significant expansion of our present operations will be required to capitalize on potential growth in market opportunities. This expansion has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We expect to add a significant number of additional key personnel in the future, including key managerial and technical employees who will have to be fully integrated into our operations. In order to manage our growth, we will be required to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems, to expand existing operations, to attract and retain superior management, and to train, manage and expand our employee base. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations, that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to successfully implement our business plan. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

We may be subject to intellectual property claims that create uncertainty about ownership of technology essential to our business and divert our managerial and other resources.

 

8

 



 

 

There has been a substantial amount of litigation in the technology industry regarding intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that third parties will not, in the future, claim infringement by us with respect to our current or future services, trademarks or other proprietary rights. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property and to operate without infringing on the intellectual property rights of others in the process. There can be no guarantee that any of our intellectual property will be adequately safeguarded, or that it will not be challenged by third parties. We may be subject to patent infringement claims or other intellectual property infringement claims that would be costly to defend and could limit our ability to use certain critical technologies.

 

We may also become subject to interference proceedings conducted in the patent and trademark offices of various countries to determine the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution, if necessary, of intellectual property suits, interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings is costly and may divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. We may not prevail in any of these suits. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could cause us to pay substantial damages, including treble damages if we willfully infringe, and, also, could put our patent applications at risk of not being issued.

 

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation. If investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock.

 

Any intellectual property litigation could negatively impact our business by diverting resources and management attention away from other aspects of our business and adding uncertainty as to the ownership of technology and services that we view as proprietary and essential to our business. In addition, a successful claim of patent infringement against us and our failure or inability to obtain a license for the infringed or similar technology on reasonable terms, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights could harm our competitive position.

 

Our success is substantially dependent upon our proprietary technology. We have not filed patent applications for any of our technology and rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements and technical measures, to protect our proprietary rights. Much of our proprietary information may not be patentable, and we do not currently possess any patents. We cannot assure you that we will develop proprietary technologies that are patentable. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure significant protection for our trademarks. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We cannot assure you that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology or duplicate our services or design around patents issued to us or our other intellectual property rights. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business and our operations could be adversely affected.

 

We are susceptible to general economic conditions, and a downturn in advertising and marketing spending by merchants could adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions, in particular those conditions that impact merchant-consumer transactions. If there were to be a general economic downturn that affected consumer activity in particular, however slight, then we would expect that business entities, including merchant advertisers, could substantially and immediately reduce their advertising and marketing budgets. We believe that during periods of lower consumer activity, merchant spending on advertising and marketing is more likely to be reduced, and more quickly, than many other types of business expenses. These factors could cause a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We may be subject to lawsuits for information displayed on our websites and the websites of advertisers displayed on our distribution network, which may affect our business.

 

Laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their advertisers and for the content of their advertisers’ listings are currently unsettled. It is unclear whether we could be subjected to claims for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement or claims based on other theories relating to the information we publish on our websites or the information that is published across our distribution network. These kinds of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against online services as well as other print publications in the past. We may not be able to successfully avoid civil or criminal liability for unlawful activities carried out by advertisers displayed on our distribution network. Our potential liability for unlawful activities of advertisers or for the content of advertisers’ listings displayed on our distribution network could require us to implement measures to reduce our exposure to such liability, which may require us, among other things, to spend substantial resources or to discontinue certain service offerings. Our insurance may not adequately protect us against these kinds of claims and the defense of such claims may divert the attention of our management from our operations. If we are subjected to such lawsuits, they may adversely affect our business.

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate insurance, our financial condition could be adversely affected in the event of uninsured or inadequately insured loss or damage.

 

We may not be able to obtain and maintain insurance policies on terms affordable to us that would adequately insure our business and property against damage, loss or claims by third parties. To the extent our business or property suffers any damages, losses or claims by third parties that are not covered or adequately covered by insurance, our financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

 

New rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect our business.

 

We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the recent changes in the rules and regulations which govern publicly-held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications from executive officers and requirements for financial experts on boards of directors. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of new rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Further, certain of these recent and proposed changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, our business could be adversely affected.

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could harm our brand and operating results.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and accurate financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require our independent auditors to attest to the design and operating effectiveness of our controls over financial reporting on an annual basis beginning with our first fiscal year ending on December 31, 2007. We expect these systems and controls to become increasingly complex to the extent that we integrate acquisitions and our business grows. To effectively manage this growth, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we design, implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or operation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock and our access to capital.

Government and legal regulations may damage our business.

 

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet and e-commerce. Such existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth of the Internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential Internet access, and the characteristics and quality of products and services. The Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, has recently reviewed the way in which search engines disclose paid search practices to Internet users. In 2002, the FTC issued guidance recommending that all search engine companies ensure that all paid search results are clearly distinguished from non-paid results, that the use of paid search is clearly and conspicuously explained and disclosed and that other disclosures are made to avoid misleading users about the possible effects of paid search listings on search results. The adoption of laws or regulations relating to placement of paid search advertisements or user privacy, defamation or taxation may inhibit the growth in use of the Internet, which in turn, could decrease the demand for our services and increase our cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Any new legislation or regulation, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet or other online services, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We could be liable for breaches of security on our website.

 

A fundamental requirement for e-commerce is the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect consumer information and to prevent other security breaches, failure to mitigate such fraud or breaches may adversely affect our operating results.

 

State and local governments may be able to levy additional taxes on Internet access and electronic commerce transactions, which could result in a decrease in the level of usage of our services.

 

Beginning in 1998, the federal government imposed a moratorium on state and local governments’ imposition of new taxes on Internet access and eCommerce transactions, which has now expired. State and local governments may be able to levy additional taxes on Internet access and eCommerce transactions unless the moratorium is reinstituted. Any increase in applicable taxes may make eCommerce transactions less attractive for businesses and consumers, which could result in a decrease in eCommerce activities and the level of usage of our services.

 

RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING AND OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Trading of our common stock is limited, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.

 

Trading of our common stock is conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “ITOU.” This market provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ market, AMEX or the national securities exchanges. In addition, trading in our common stock has been extremely limited. This limited trading adversely effects the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us. As a result, you may obtain lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and there could be a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock.

 

Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock” under SEC rules which limits the market for our common stock.

 

Because our stock is not traded on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, and because the market price of the common stock has historically been significantly less than $5.00 per share, our common stock may be classified as a “penny stock.” SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the

 

11

 



 

purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an “established customer” or an “accredited investor.” This includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination that investments in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customers concerning the risk of penny stocks. Many broker-dealers decline to participate in penny stock transactions because of the extra requirements imposed on penny stock transactions. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock reduces the market liquidity of our shares, which in turn affects the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the shares they purchase, and they may not be able to resell at prices at or above the prices they paid.

 

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile, which could cause investment losses for our shareholders and result in shareholder litigation with substantial costs, economic loss and diversion of our resources.

 

We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest will support an active and liquid trading market for our common stock. In addition, the trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

 

 

developments concerning proprietary rights, including patents, by us or a competitor;

 

 

 

market acceptance of our new and existing services and technologies;

 

 

 

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

 

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

 

 

continued growth in the Internet and the infrastructure for providing Internet access

and carrying Internet traffic;

 

 

 

introductions of new services by us or our competitors;

 

 

 

enactment of new government regulations affecting our industry;

 

 

 

changes in the number of our advertising and distribution network partners;

 

 

 

seasonal fluctuations in the level of Internet usage;

 

 

 

loss of key employees;

 

 

 

institution of intellectual property litigation by or against us;

 

 

 

success of our international expansion;

 

 

 

changes in the market valuations of similar companies; and

 

 

 

changes in our industry and the overall economic environment.

 

Due to the emerging nature of the paid search market, we may not be able to accurately predict our operating results on a quarterly basis, if at all, which may lead to volatility in the trading price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for online commerce companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the listed companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Litigation against us, whether or not a judgment is entered against us, could result in substantial

costs, and potentially, economic loss, and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. As a result of these and other factors, you may not be able to resell your shares above the price you paid and may suffer a loss on your investment.

 

If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause our stock price to decline.

 

As of March 31, 2006, our executive officers, directors, and their affiliates beneficially owned or controlled approximately 66% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, these executive officers, directors, and their affiliates, acting as a group, will have substantial influence and may control the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transactions. These shareholders may also delay or prevent a change of control of our company, even if such a change of control would benefit our other shareholders. The significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

 

Future sales of shares of our common stock that are eligible for sale by our shareholders may decrease the price of our common stock.

 

We had 34,178,470 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2006 (exclusive of 2,100,000 outstanding shares for which a default judgment has been granted by the United States District Court as more fully described below). Of these shares, 22,598,690 are held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates and will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. Actual sales, or the prospect of sales by our present shareholders or by future shareholders, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits director liability thereby making it difficult to bring any action against them for breach of fiduciary duty.

As permitted by Florida law, our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty except for liability in certain instances. As a result of our charter provision and Florida law, stockholders may have limited rights to recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

We may be unable to meet our future capital requirements.

We are substantially dependent on receipt of additional capital to effectively execute our business plan. If adequate funds are not available to us on favorable terms we will not be able to effectively carry out our business plan and respond to competitive pressures, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our Common Stock and our stockholders may experience additional dilution.

Substantial sales of our Common Stock could cause our stock price to rapidly decline.

The market price of our Common Stock may fall rapidly and significantly due to sales of our Common Stock from other sources such as:

 

 

 

The sale of shares of our Common Stock underlying the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.

 

 

 

 

The sale of shares of our Common Stock, which are available for resale under Rule 144 or are otherwise freely tradable and which are not subject to lock-up restrictions.

 

 

 

13

 



 

 

Any sale of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, whether as a result of the exercise of outstanding warrants or options or otherwise, could lower the market price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, substantial sales of our Common Stock in a relatively short period of time could have the effect of depressing the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Risks Relating to Our Current Financing

We have registered a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and intend to register additional shares under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to a Form S-8. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our stock.

The registration of 35,536,499 of our common shares under this Registration Statement plus future other additional shares as we may be required to include in future registration statements, will result in a substantial number of our shares being eligible for future sale without Rule 144 restrictions, assuming the subject registration statements remain effective. Sales of shares pursuant to any future registration statement could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We also intend to register, pursuant to a Form S-8, up to 10,000,000 of our Common Stock reserved for issuance to employees, officers and directors, consultants and advisors, pursuant to our 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. This Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified stock options, qualified stock options and restricted stock awards on such terms and conditions as determined by our Board of Directors. In addition, we intend to also include additional shares of our Common Stock, which may be issued to our employees, officers and consultants in consideration for services. Resale of shares registered under this Form S-8 could adversely affect the future market price of our Common Stock.

Our failure to register shares in the near future will materially affect the interest of all shareholders.

In November 2005, we placed a convertible note payable with VICIS Capital Master Fund (“VICIS”) and granted certain registration rights to them in connection with the common shares that would be issued to them upon conversion of such note and related common stock purchase warrants they received in connection with such transaction. The shares underlying the note and common stock purchase warrants that were issued in November 2005 were registered in February 2006 and such registration is being updated through this filing. We are required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may be subject to liquidated damages payable either in cash or Series A Warrants (at our option and as determined by dividing the amount of liquidated damages by the fixed conversion price as defined in the note, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of the note and Series A Warrants for each calendar month or portion thereof until the registration statement is declared effective). In no event shall the amount of liquidated damages exceed nine percent (9%) of the amount of the initial investment in the note. As such our failure to maintain an effective selling shareholder registration statement could have an adverse effect on our operations due to the amount of liquidated damages that we may incur for failure to comply with this agreement. See “Circumstances under which Selling Stockholders Acquired Securities”.

 

On May 5, 2006, we closed a $550,000 funding agreement with VICIS and agreed to (i) reprice the Series A-1 Warrants for 5,000,000 common shares from $.45 to $.001 and extend the term thereof for six (6) years; (ii) issue a new Series A-2 Warrant for 5,000,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term; (iii) reprice a placement agreement Warrant for 500,000 common shares originally with an exercise price of $.45 to $.001 with a six (6) year term; and (iv) issue a new placement agent Warrant for 500,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term. The net charge to operations as a result of the re-pricing agreement is expected to approximate $1,000,000. We granted VICIS registration rights with respect to these new warrants and they are being registered hereunder.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The “forward-looking” safe harbor does not apply to our company because we issue “penny stock” and are excluded from the safe harbor pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the “Risk Factors” contained on pages 6 through 18 of this Prospectus.

 

Because the factors discussed in this Prospectus could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on behalf of our company, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all events which may arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders. We may receive proceeds if warrants are exercised by Selling Stockholders. These proceeds, if any, will be used for working capital purposes or any other purpose approved by the Board of Directors.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth information as of June 15, 2006 with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock both before and immediately following the offering by each of the Selling Stockholders.

 

Calculation of the percent of outstanding shares owned is based on shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 15, 2006. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table, we believe each holder possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock owned by that holder, subject to community property laws where applicable. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a holder and the percentage ownership of that holder, shares of Common Stock underlying warrants by that holder that are currently exercisable within 60 days after the date of the table are deemed outstanding. Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell all or some portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, only an estimate (assuming the Selling Stockholders sell all of the shares offered hereby) can be given as to the number of shares of Common Stock that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after this offering. In addition, any selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed or, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the dates on which they provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned by them, all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

VICIS has agreed that it will not (i) acquire any additional shares of our common stock in the open market; or (ii) convert the convertible note into common stock, or exercise warrants, when the effect of such a purchase, exercise or conversion would be to increase its equity ownership position above 4.9% of our total shares outstanding unless otherwise waived by us. Accordingly, because it is not anticipated that VICIS will acquire beneficial ownership within the next 60 days, the shares of our common stock underlying warrants or conversion privileges are excluded from the “Common shares owned before the offering” columns in the table above. The convertible note and the warrants were issued to VICIS in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SELLING STOCKHOLDERS ACQUIRED SECURITIES

 

Set forth below is a summary of the circumstances that led to the issuance to the listed Selling Stockholders of shares of our Common Stock and the securities, which are convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock.

 

On November 30, 2005 we issued a (i) $1,000,000 Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) (ii) 15,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to VICIS. We netted approximately $810,000 after payment of placement agent fees, finder fees, due diligence fees and legal fees in connection with this funding. The Note bears interest at nine percent (9%) per annum and interest is payable at our option semi-annually either in cash, or if we choose in registered common stock at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the market price. The fixed conversion price is twenty cents ($.20). The maturity date of the Note is May 31, 2007.

 

 

The warrants issued to VICIS were as follows:

 

Series A - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

Series B - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

Series C - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

As mentioned below, in May of 2006, the exercise price per share for the Series A warrants was reduced to nominal value and the expiration date of such warrants was extended.

 

We also issued the placement agent and finders in this transaction warrants to acquire up to 3,200,000 shares of our common stock (10% warrant coverage to placement agent and 6% warrant coverage to the finders) on the same terms and conditions as issued to VICIS as follows:

 

800,000 warrants, expiring March 31, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.20/share.

 

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

We agreed to register all of the shares underlying the Note, warrants, placement agent warrants and finder warrants in connection with this financing. We initially completed the registration of such shares on February 9, 2006, and such registration is being updated through this filing. Furthermore, we are required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all registered securities have been sold or until they may be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k). In the event that we fail to do so, we are obligated to pay, to the holders of the Note, damages of 1% of the face amount of the Notes per month, up to an aggregate maximum of 9%. VICIS was granted certain other rights including an 18 month right of first refusal on future financings and most favored nation’s anti-dilution protection. We also entered into certain other covenants and agreements with VICIS as set forth in the Note and Purchase Agreement to which reference is made.

 

In connection with the above mentioned financing we reached an agreement with the holders of approximately $194,000 of other (i.e. non VICIS) outstanding convertible notes to convert such notes into 1,649,167 shares of our common stock (and such shares were issued in January 2006). We granted these note holders piggyback registration rights and the shares of common stock were included in the registration statement related to the Note and warrants. The shares were registered in February 2006 (and such registration is being updated through this filing).

 

On May 5, 2006, we closed a $550,000 funding agreement with VICIS . We agreed to (i) reprice the Series A-1 Warrants for 5,000,000 common shares from $.45 to $.001 and extend the term thereof for six (6) years; (ii) issue a new Series A-2 Warrant for 5,000,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term; (iii) reprice a placement agreement Warrant for 500,000 common shares originally with an exercise price of $.45 to $.001 with a six (6) year term; and (iv) issue a new placement agent Warrant for 500,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term. The net charge to operations as a result of the re-pricing agreement, and issuance of additional warrants, is expected to approximate $1,000,000.

In January 2006, we entered into a one year Corporate Consulting Agreement with Compass International Consulting, Inc. (“Compass”) to provide marketing and branding services. In consideration for such services, we initially agreed to issue this entity 1,250,000 of our common stock and warrants to acquire an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for such services. However, shortly thereafter the entity agreed to reduce the consideration for their services to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, and forego receipt of the warrants, and in June 2006 a subsequent agreement was executed that formalized these changes. . We have the right to renew the agreement for an additional twelve months under the same terms as discussed herein.

 

Nobelco also assigned one-half (1/2) of the warrants it received for finder fees in connection with the VICIS transaction to Compass In May 2006 these shares and warrants were transferred to Mr. Trevor Ruehs who was the principal of Compass.

 

All of the warrants registered on behalf of VICIS, placement agent warrants and finder warrants, contain “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection to avoid dilution of the holders’ equity interests represented by the underlying shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as share dividends or stock splits or the issuance of equity securities with an issuance, conversion or exercise price less than the exercise price of the applicable warrants. In connection with the placement of the convertible note to VICIS in November 2005, we paid Midtown Partners & Co., LLC a nine percent (9%) placement fee ($90,000) and paid Nobelco a six percent (6%) ($60,000) finder’s fee (of which ½ or $30,000 was paid to Compass). These cash payments were in addition to the placement agent and finder warrants described above. In addition, we paid VICIS a $15,000 due diligence fee and a $7,500 attorney fee.

 

We are registering a total of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock held by three entities controlled by Marc Barhonovich. These shares were issued in consideration for financial and business consulting services in connection with our April 2005 merger.

 

 

We also issue the following shares of our common stock:

 

 

500,000 shares to counsel in partial satisfaction of legal services and granted counsel piggyback registration rights; such shares are being registered through this registration statement.

 

 

500,000 shares to Click Graphix, Inc. in connection with a financial advisory and business consulting agreement entered into in May, 2006. We have agreed to register one-half or 250,000 shares as part of this registration statement.

 

 

62,332 shares to an employee in satisfaction of past compensation obligations; such shares are being registered through this registration statement.

 

 

25,000 shares to an outside consultant who assists us in connection with accounting and SEC reporting requirements; such shares are being registered through this registration statement.

Other than indicated above, no underwriter, broker, dealer or finder participated in any of the transactions discussed above. With regard to all such issuances, we relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) or Rule 506 of Regulation D for an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Each of the purchasers has access to information concerning us, our financial condition, assets, management and proposed activities.

 

 

All of the securities identified above, are referred to as the “Registrable Securities”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees, transferees, donees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

 

on the OTC electronic bulletin board (OTC:BB) or such other market on which the Common Stock may from time to time be trading;

 

 

in privately-negotiated transactions, including the exchange or modification of previously issued securities with us or others;

 

 

through the writing of options on the shares;

 

 

short sales; or

 

 

any combination thereof;

 

 

The sale price to the public may be:

 

 

the market price prevailing at the time of sale;

 

 

a price related to such prevailing market price;

 

 

at negotiated prices; or

 

 

such other price as the selling stockholders determine from time to time.

 

The shares may also be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Selling Stockholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The Selling Stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. These broker-dealers may be compensated with discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both. The compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be greater than customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. The Selling Stockholders may sell shares of Common Stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchases at a price per share, which may be below the then market price. The Selling Stockholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, may be deemed “underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or Exchange Act) or the rules and regulations under such Acts.

 

The Selling Stockholders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling stockholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. If a Selling Stockholder enters into such an agreement or agreements, the relevant details will be set forth in a supplement or revisions to this prospectus.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and the notes thereto, all of which financial statements are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Prospectus contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed under “Business” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.

GENERAL

Losses from Operations; Accumulated Deficit; Negative Net Worth and Going Concern.

Historically we have not generated sufficient revenues from operations to self-fund our capital and operating requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect that our working capital will come from fundings that will primarily include equity and debt placements.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in contemplation of our ability to continue as a going concern. We incurred a net loss of approximately $(1,795,000) for the year ended December 31, 2005, and $(1,033,100) for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. We had a stockholders’ deficit at March 31, 2006 of approximately $(1,830,400). In addition, at March 31, 2006, we have a working capital deficit of approximately $(900,000) and we used approximately $318,000 of cash to fund our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2006. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.

OVERVIEW

 

We help our clients use the Internet to generate sales of their products and services and use sophisticated market research to dramatically increase the effectiveness of Web properties. Our unique blend of tools is helping our client’s increase the amount of relevant traffic to their websites. This blend consists of design based market research, search engine advertising, search engine publicity campaigns, strategically placed Web site advertising, and ongoing email broadcasts to individuals that ask for more information.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations are based upon our financial statements and the data used to prepare them. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. On an ongoing basis, we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to revenues, bad debts, long-lived assets, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, knowledge of current conditions and our beliefs of what could occur in the future, considering currently available information. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our estimates are guided by observing the following critical accounting policies.

 

Revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts:

 

Our revenue recognition policy is consistent with the criteria set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”) for determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 104 we recognize revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. As such, we recognize revenues as services are rendered.

 

Generally our fees for our services are paid in advance and/or upon completion of the services. However, alternative terms are negotiated periodically, and such receivables are presented in the balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectibility of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and we charge bad debts in the form of an allowance account in the period the receivables are deemed uncollectible. Receivables are written off when we abandon our collection efforts.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company used Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS No. 148) to account for its stock based compensation arrangements. This statement amended the disclosure provision of FASB statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company would have used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” to account for any of its stock-based employee compensation arrangements (no such arrangements were applicable through December 31, 2005).

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (“FAS 123 (R)”), Share-Based Payments, which is effective for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2006. The statement will require the Company to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. Since the Company has not had any share-based payments through March 31, 2006, the statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Derivative financial instruments

 

In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

 

The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instruments liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. We have estimated the future volatility of our common stock price based on the history of our stock price. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial statements.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Year Ended December 31, 2005, Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

 

Revenue

 

The 2005 revenues consist primarily of fees earned from the development and sales of marketing and investor relations programs to customers; whereas, the 2004 revenues consist mostly of the development and sale of mailing campaigns and investor relations marketing programs. Our strategy of selling more marketing programs, which we believe provides for higher margins and more growth potential than the mailing campaigns, has provided a 5% increase in revenue and better margins as described below. The revenues in 2005 were $1,371,469 compared to $1,311,621 in 2004.

 

Cost Of Revenues And Gross Profit

 

Cost of revenues consists mainly of deployment costs such as employee compensation, Internet access providers, mailing lists and software licenses. Cost of revenues dropped from $572,168 in 2004 to $528,764 in 2005, or 8%, while revenues increased 5%. This resulted in an increase in gross profit percentage from 56% in 2004 to 61% in 2005. This increase in the Company’s gross profit percentage is a result of our decision to start selling higher margin products. During 2005 we focused more efforts on developing marketing programs for clients instead of mailing campaigns.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Employee compensation and benefits consists of the cost of employees to operate the selling, general & administrative functions of the company. The cost of these employees increased from $246,336 to $326,910, a 33% increase, due to the hiring of additional employees to implement the change in the company’s strategy from an email marketing program to a service company.

 

Stock based consulting consists of stock issued to a consultant who assists the Company with business development, increasing our shareholder base, locating mezzanine financing and identifying merger targets. This non-cash expense was not incurred in 2004.

 

Management fees – related party represents the compensation to five key executives under two separate agreements. This expense increased 59% from $316,280 in 2004 to $504,277 in 2005 as a result of those agreements. The compensation under these agreements is expected to increase in 2006 as the fees are subject to a 6% increase in June 2006.

 

 

25

 



 

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist mostly of Internet advertising and commissions on sales generated by employees and independent contractors. Selling and marketing expense increased 115% from $138,816 in 2004 to $298,535 in 2005, which is primarily attributed to the increase in advertising costs incurred to introduce and sell the new product line described above. Because the clients are larger, the lead time to close a deal has increased; however, the new product mix should be more profitable due to higher margins.

 

General and administrative expense consists of office expenses, rent, phones, professional fees, amortization, and travel and entertainment. In 2005, these expenses increased 102% from $143,900 to $291,302. The increase is mostly due to the increases in professional fees related to becoming a public company, travel & entertainment costs from the marketing program, and the amortization of loan issuance costs from the convertible debt agreement executed in November of 2005.

 

Other Income (expenses)

 

Gain on liability extinguishment - After consulting with legal counsel, the Company removed $79,860 of trade payable debt because the vendor had not completed the tasks for which the Company was invoiced and legal counsel believes the possibility of the Company having to pay the invoice is remote.

 

Derivative financial instrument expense represents the net charges relating to the November 30, 2005 convertible note payable for the excess of the fair market value of the derivative liabilities over the face value of the note. The original charge of $314,627 at the time of the transaction was offset by $19,335 from the quarterly revaluation of the derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2005.

 

Net Loss

 

We recognized a net loss of $1,795,055 in 2005 compared to $105,879 in 2004. The increase in the loss is mostly a result of expenses arising from the stock consulting agreement, the convertible debt charge and the employee compensation expenses described above.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

 

Revenue

 

The 2006 revenues consist primarily of fees earned from the development and sales of marketing and investor relations programs to customers; whereas, the 2005 revenues consist mostly of the development and sale of mailing campaigns and investor relations marketing programs. Management’s strategy of selling more marketing programs to larger and more sophisticated clients, which they believe will lead to a more stable revenue stream, has caused a decrease in the revenue from $336,225 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $234,299 in three months ended March 31, 2006, or a 30% decrease (which we believe is temporary as we transition to our new business model). Revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 include $50,000 of non-cash income that resulted from an arrangement with a customer to provide certain acquisition and management services relating to a celebrity endorsement campaign. We received 3,000,000 shares of the customer’s common stock and immediately gave 1,500,000 of those shares to the celebrity entertainer. The shares of stock received are restricted and the customer is a non-reporting, public entity. We valued the stock at $1,200,000 based on the estimated value of the services we are to provide, and initially deferred 100% of the revenues. The deferred revenues are being amortized to revenues using the straight line method over the 24 month term of the agreement as we believe that services we are to provide will be fairly consistent during such period. However, because of the nature of the consideration, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover the aforementioned $1,200,000 value of the stock when we make the decision to sell these shares. Any inability to do so would result in our results of operations being adversely impacted.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

 

Cost of revenues consists mainly of deployment costs such as employee compensation, as well as costs of Internet access providers, mailing lists and software licenses. Cost of revenues dropped from $160,671 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $127,832 in the three months ended March 31, 2006, or 20%. The

 

26

 



 

gross profit percentage decreased from 52% to 45%, respectively. This decrease in the Company’s gross profit percentage is a result of an increase in the staffing level in anticipation of higher production levels and an increase in the amount of revenue that was deferred because more projects were in process.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Employee compensation and benefits consists of the cost of employees to operate the selling, general and administrative functions of the company. The cost of these employees increased from $53,710 to $119,301, a 122% increase, due to the hiring of additional employees to implement the change in the company’s strategy from an email marketing program to a service company.

 

Stock based consulting expense in the three months ended March 31, 2006 arises from stock issued to an attorney and to an investor relations consultant. Stock based consulting expense in the three months ended March 31, 2005 arose from stock issued to a consultant who assists the Company with business development, increasing our shareholder base, locating mezzanine financing and identifying merger targets.

 

Management fees – related party represents the compensation to five key executives under two separate agreements. This expense increased 51% from $103,280 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $156,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The compensation under these agreements is scheduled to increase by 6% commencing on June 23, 2006.

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist mostly of Internet advertising and commissions on sales generated by employees and independent contractors. Selling and marketing expenses increased 74% from $69,336 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $120,582 in the three months ended March 31, 2006, which increase is primarily attributed to the increase in advertising costs incurred to introduce and sell the new product line described above. Because the clients are larger, the lead time to close a deal has increased; however, the new product mix should be more profitable due to higher margins.

 

General and administrative expense consists of office expenses, rent, phones, professional fees, amortization, and travel and entertainment. These expenses increased from $32,692 in the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $121,292 in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase is mostly due to overall increases in accounting and legal fees related to the registration of our securities and related reporting requirements and increases in general office expenses due to the expansion of our operations.

 

Other Expenses

 

Derivative financial instrument expense represents the net charges relating to March 31, 2006 quarterly re-valuation of the derivative liabilities associated with our outstanding warrants, and the conversion option embedded in our convertible note payable that we issued in November 2005. Since our stock price increased between December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, an additional charge of $415,422 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

 

Net Loss

 

We recognized a net loss of $1,795,055 in 2005 compared to $105,879 in 2004. The increase in the loss is mostly a result of expenses arising from the stock consulting agreement, the convertible debt charge and the employee compensation expenses described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2006, we had cash of $44,132, a $324,619 decrease from December 31, 2005, and a working capital deficiency of approximately $902,200. This working capital deficit is mainly due to deferred revenue of approximately $723,000 which will not require use of corporate funds but will be an increase in revenue in future periods. Our primary source of working capital during the first three months of 2006 resulted from the cash we had on hand as a result of the sale of a $1,000,000 convertible note payable in November 2005.

 

During 2005, the Company generated cash from the following sales of convertible notes payable:

 

27

 



 

 

 

Sales of convertible notes resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $194,000, which notes were converted into 1,649,167 common shares of the Company’s stock during the current quarter.

 

 

On November 30, 2005 we closed on a $1,000,000 funding of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) and Common Stock Purchase Warrants. We netted approximately $810,000 after payment of placement agent fees, finder fees, due diligence fees and legal fees in connection with this funding. There was one accredited investor who purchased these securities. The note bears interest at nine percent (9%) per annum and interest is payable at the option of the Company semi-annually either in cash or in registered common stock at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the market price. The fixed conversion price is twenty cents per share. The maturity date of the Note is May 31, 2007.

 

In January 2006, we entered into a Corporate Consulting Agreement with Compass to provide marketing and branding services. In consideration for such services we have issued this entity 1,200,000 shares of our common stock.

 

At May 31, 2006, we have approximately $316,000 in cash. We believe this amount (which includes the effects of net cash proceeds of approximately $500,000 we received from a closing on May 5, 2006 under a funding agreement with our convertible note holder) and cash generated from operations (assuming growth in revenues), will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12 months. This estimate is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties. The actual time period may differ materially from that indicated as a result of a number of factors so that we cannot assure you that our cash resources will be sufficient for anticipated or unanticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for this period.

 

As revenues grow, we generate working capital because many of our customers pay for their services in advance. However, since revenue growth is not guaranteed, we may need to solicit proposals for additional financing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise such funds or that such funds will be available to us on favorable terms. If we raise additional funds for the issuance of our securities, such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common stock and our stockholders may experience additional dilution.

 

We remain optimistic about our long term business prospects. However, we still face significant obstacles to achieve profitability. We anticipate that in 2006 we will experience substantial increases in revenue that will help the company reach profitability during 2006 or 2007. We have invested a significant amount of our working capital, technical infrastructure and personnel time in preparing the Company for the anticipated revenue increases.

Inflation

Most of our expenses are affected by inflation, which generally results in increased operating costs. We believe that the net effect of inflation on our results of operations is minimal.

 

Seasonality

 

 

We do not believe that seasonality of operations has a material affect on our business.

BUSINESS

 

Our Business

 

We are primarily an online marketing and PR firm which specializes in generating Web site visitors, leads and customers for its business clients using a combination of effective systems. We use sophisticated market research to increase the effectiveness of Web properties and to increase relevant traffic to our client’s sites. The tools we use consist of design based market research, search engine advertising, search engine publicity campaigns, strategically placed Web site advertising, and ongoing email broadcasts to individuals that ask for more information. This in turn is causing increased traffic, leads, customers, and ultimately sales for our clients. We designed our suite of services to provide businesses an effective method of driving qualified prospects for their products and services to their websites. As a result of our experience with online marketing and PR, we have identified several markets that we believe are underserved and we are developing software that exploits these markets.

 

Our distribution strategy, or means of driving traffic to our clients and web properties, has been focused on primarily search engine marketing (Google and Yahoo PPC engines) and strategically placed articles and press releases written on behalf of our clients. Additionally, we utilize blogs and complementary web property postings to generate relevant traffic.

 

We primarily provide Internet marketing services that facilitate our client’s businesses web sites to gain market share of their respective properties. We do this thru market research, keyword research, ad and pay per click campaigns, buzz campaigns thru blogs and strategically complementary web property postings, strategically placed articles and press releases as well as design and copy specific to the target market. Our services provide businesses an effective method of driving qualified prospects for their products and services to their websites as well as creating effective websites that convert to leads and sales for those businesses. We also provide consulting services, which includes marketing, Internet and technology consulting services to a variety of small and medium sized companies.

 

Our distribution network consists of search engines, sites with which we have strategic relationships, resellers, distributors and our owned and managed web properties. With our recent release of www.pixelbay.org and www.scooop.net, we now own the traffic related to those sites to use for the benefit of our clients. Our portfolio of web properties generally contains commercially-relevant search terms in many of the Internet’s most popular commerce categories and may include geographically-targeted elements. When users connect to our web properties, they will find relevant sponsored listings. We intend to continue expanding our portfolio of web properties in order to increase our proprietary base of online user traffic.

 

Our Internet search services generate revenue several ways. Initially, the research phase of any search program is a paid for service. Once the research is done, we can clearly identify the keywords that are most likely to gain the client a relevant click. Our research further refines competitor ad rankings and effectiveness so we can then incorporate effective ads that will have a high click thru rate. When an Internet user initiates a search on a major search engine on the key words we have identified our client needs to generate traffic, our ads are typically shown in the top five spots on the first page. We are able to thru testing and on going management of these accounts to increase efficiency, relevancy, and lower click cost for the client. Our copywriting and design services create web pages and sites that convert to leads and sales.

 

Our own web properties also create sponsored and targeted listings. Since the launch of Scooop.net in September and Pixelbay.org in mid November, we have shown we can launch a site and have an Alexa ranking in the top 40,000 web sites on the net and generate hundreds of thousands of visitors to these sites respectively.

 

Based on our discoveries in paid search we are now spending significant resources in time and programming to develop web based solutions to simplify these processes and to provide a point of entry for other businesses to take advantage of these technique themselves. Ultimately, by automating these processes our service business can expand exponentially without the need for a significant increase in personnel. The first part of this suite of services called AdSnatcher™, which is a competitor research tool that is being built and is scheduled to be released for soft launch at the end of June 2006. We intend to continue to release these search tools as free services with a limited feature set and build up to a subscription model for access to the full

 

29

 



 

feature set as we increase our customer base as these technologies are released. While we have generated no revenues to date from this, our initial market research points to this being a good source of revenue for the future.

 

We also provide corporate services, including marketing, Internet and technology consulting services to various small and medium sized companies. We endeavor to provide clients with the appropriate technology and experience to service their needs. In order to be successful, we must understand our clients’ needs, and deliver and manage the client-consultant relationship to the satisfaction of our clients. In order to give our clients a consistent level of service, all our services are codified and our employees get trained in our specific way of marketing in order to give them uniformly standard product.

 

Although we currently provide Internet search services and Internet and technology consulting services, we intend to explore offering additional complementary products and services in the future. We intend to leverage our relationships with our consulting clients to expand our Internet search services offerings. For example, we are implementing a pilot program with an existing internet television company where we will build communities that will stream their own television shows on the net. We have purchased the equipment and have existing personnel that allows us to create broadcast quality video that can be added to any website or used on any commercial television as part of a media buy. While we have generated no meaningful revenues to date from this, this pilot is just in its infancy, and our initial market research points to this being a good source of revenue for the future.

 

Industry Overview

 

The Internet and Online Commerce

 

As use of the Internet to research and purchase products and services increases, businesses are seeking ways to more effectively reach consumers online. As a result, both online and traditional retail businesses are increasingly using the Internet to advertise their products and services. Forrester Research estimates that spending for online marketing, which includes display advertising, search engine marketing and email marketing, will increase from $10.6 billion in 2005 to $19.7 billion in 2010. The advertising industry, and specifically online advertising, is evolving to meet the increasing online demands of both consumers and businesses. According to the Pew Foundation, over 50% of online purchases are preceded by a search.

 

Paid Search Advertising

 

Paid search or pay-per-click advertising displays advertisers’ product and service listings to online consumers in response to their keyword search queries. This feature gives advertisers the ability to target their online advertisements to individuals with specific and immediate interests in their products or services. Because advertisers pay only when an Internet user actually clicks-through on the advertiser’s listing, pay-per-click advertising allows online advertisers to accurately measure the effectiveness and response rates of advertisements and adjust their advertising campaigns accordingly. Although businesses have many online advertising options, we believe that pay-per-click advertising has grown faster and will continue to grow faster than most other online advertising alternatives because it allows businesses to access consumers at the time they have demonstrated a specific interest in an advertiser’s products or services through their Internet search. According to Forrester Research, search engine marketing spending will increase from $5.7 billion in 2005 to $11.6 billion in 2010. Larger traditional companies are moving away from traditional media for advertising in large part to Tivo and digital recording devices that consumers now fast forward thru commercials. These companies are now taking notice of paid search and its irrefutable ability to measure ROI.

 

The online paid search market is intensely competitive. Our technology facilitates advertiser’s chances of success with all search engines. We are a Google Adwords Professional Company and have Yahoo Ambassador Status and can therefore use both companies’ logos on our website and in our promotional materials. In the case of Google, five employees have to pass an exam and manage ad spends over time to get this status. That along with our overall strategy and technology to increase results from paid search marketing is what makes us unique.

 

Another thing to note is that our search technology helps exploit an inherent problem that small businesses have with Google Adwords™. Google prioritizes ad relevance over the amount advertisers pay per

 

30

 



 

click. Google automatically adjusts ad search position based on ad relevance as determined by individual search engine user behavior. Google will disable marketers that don’t have relevant ads or poor click through rates. This is why most small and medium size businesses fail with Google. Our technology allows our clients to be effective in paid search. Our plan to automate these processes thru web based portals will put us in a position to serve this underserved market exponentially.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our objective is to be a leader in the Internet search services industry primarily by increasing our revenues from our portfolio of web properties, expanding our advertising base, and enhancing the services we currently provide. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

 

 

Continue to increase our client base thru press, paid search, and off-line media.

 

Diversify our distribution network. Historically, we have focused on primarily search engine marketing with Google and Yahoo. We are building a portal utilizing our technology called AdPlacer™ that will allow a point of entry to small businesses that is not available today. AdPlacer™ will be translated into many languages which will leverage the growth of the internet in emerging markets such as India and China. We have decided to incrementally release these tools. The first piece of AdPlacer™, AdSnatcher™ is ready to release.

 

Continue building search engine optimization, marketing and press services. We intend to continue to leverage our relationships with our corporate services clients, to provide additional Internet search services as well as complimentary off line services.

 

Continue to build and release new websites and communities and utilize their traffic for the benefit of ourselves and our clients. These websites generally are niche markets but have the potential for large subscriber bases. These communities can and will be marketed to for ourselves and our clients.

 

Continue to produce and sell ad space on Scoop Radio, a radio show that is broadcast on 1340 AM as well as podcast worldwide.

 

Continue to produce and release informational properties to train our employees and to enlighten our potential clients.

 

Finish development of and release subscription based article placing web portal

 

Expand our advertiser network. We will continue to expand our relationships to include additional advertising network partners and offline cable advertising networks that provide localized results in an effort to increase and diversify our             revenues.

 

Explore relevant acquisitions that will enhance our products, services, and client base.

 

Continue to expand our reseller and distributor network.

Information Technology and Systems

 

We strive to us technologies that are compatible with the systems used by our advertising and distribution network partners. By utilizing open standards it allows us to maintain open connectivity amongst heterogeneous networks. We rely on our proprietary technology platform combined with commercially available technology from industry-leading providers to deliver real-time customer support and interactive reporting for our advertising and distribution network partners.

 

Our technology is designed to gather information from multiple data points and compile the results according to a proprietary set of rules that we have developed.

 

We rely upon third parties to provide hosting services, including hardware support and service, and network coordination. Our servers are configured for high availability and large volumes of Internet traffic and are located in leased third-party facilities. Back-end databases make use of redundant servers and data storage arrays. We also have standby servers that provide for additional capacity as necessary. The facilities housing our servers provide redundant HVAC, power and Internet connectivity.

 

We continue to build and innovate additional functionality to attempt to meet the quickly evolving demands of the marketplace. The cost of developing our technology solutions is being funded by our investors, but will be built into the overall cost structure of our services.

 

All product lines are codified in such a way to maintain an equal standard no matter who is used to deliver our programs.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

As of May 15, 2006, we had two full-time employees in our sales department as well as over 25 distributors and resellers directly selling our services. Our internal sales force focuses primarily on new customer development, upselling our existing client base, and developing strategic alliances in an effort to expand our distribution network. Our resellers and distributors utilize their already existing client bases adding our product to their existing client bases. Our internal sales efforts typically include direct marketing from our own search engine marketing efforts. With the proceeds from our funding in November 2005, we reworked our own marketing and PR programs and have instituted new tools to attract larger and more influential clients. We are exploring attendance at and sponsorship of various trade shows and industry events to generate larger customers. Our largest source of income is complementary companies reselling our services.

 

Competition

 

Paid Search Advertising

 

The online paid search market is intensely competitive. Although we partner with the most predominant search engines to provide paid search results for our clients, we are unique in our approach to getting results. Currently, Google™ is the primary engine we work with, we are planning to ad others and are piloting Overture and will pilot MSN and others in the coming months. We have just recently become certified with Yahoo. We also compete with traditional offline media such as television, radio and print, for a share of businesses’ total advertising budgets. We are now utilizing these mediums in order to give a comprehensive advertising solution to all our clients based on their budgets and specific markets.

 

Our strategy is to mange our own range of websites and utilize the largest search engines to drive traffic to our properties as well as our clients and use the intelligence we gain from doing this to build technology that automates the process. Once the technology is built, we will be able to exponentially implement worldwide with a minimum of personnel and the ability to generate substantial monthly subscription revenues and subscriber bases.

 

 

32

 



 

 

Regarding paid search, nearly all of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger distribution networks, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, the search industry has recently experienced a surge in technology that helps search results. Industry consolidation may result in larger, more established and well-financed competitors with a greater focus on paid search services. If this trend continues, we may be unable to compete in the paid search market and our financial results may suffer.

 

Additionally, larger companies such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft may implement technologies into their search engines or software that make it less likely that businesses will utilize our technology as we exploit inherent flaws in their engines. If they develop their own technology to solve these issues, it will make it less likely that companies will come to us for our expertise. If we are unable to successfully compete against current and future competitors or if our current client base choose to rely more heavily on their own distribution networks in the future, our operating results will be adversely affected.

 

Although overall Internet advertising expenditures have increased in the last few years, the advertising industry has suffered as many online businesses have ceased operations and many traditional businesses have scaled back their advertising budgets. In addition, we believe that today’s typical Internet advertiser is becoming more sophisticated in utilizing the different forms of Internet advertising, purchasing Internet advertising in a cost-effective manner, and measuring return-on-investment. The competition for this pool of advertising dollars has also put downward pressure on pricing points and online advertisers have demanded more effective means of reaching customers. As advertisers (our clients) decrease their budgets, it could materially affect their ability to purchase our services.

 

We are also affected by the competition among destination websites that reach users or customers of search services. While thousands of smaller outlets are available to customers, several large media and search engine companies, such as AOL, Google, Microsoft through MSN Search and Yahoo!, through its subsidiaries, dominate online user traffic. The online search industry continues to experience consolidation of major websites and search engines, which has the effect of increasing the negotiating power of these parties in relation to smaller providers. These larger search engines from time to time change their algorithms and although we have been successful in creating results with current algorithms there is no guarantee that we will continue to be successful with a change in algorithms that effect how we utilize their technologies. Our communities are new and do not have the longevity of large search engines and community portals.

 

Corporate Services

 

Our corporate services business is highly competitive. We compete with a variety of organizations that offer services competitive with those we offer. Our competitors range from large global firms, including the services arms of large global technology providers, to management consulting firms and information technology services providers. Additionally, we compete with smaller service providers who have a specific focus and competitive market position in certain geographic markets or who focus on service- or industry-specific niches. In addition, a client may choose to use its own resources rather than engage an outside firm for the kinds of services we provide. Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive basis. We believe that the principal competitive factors in this industry are skills and capabilities of consultants, innovative service and product offerings, perceived ability to add value, reputation, price and technical and industry expertise. We have long-standing relationships with many of our corporate services clients.

 

Consumer Generated Media

 

Blogs and negative posts on the web adversely affect individuals and businesses. As time goes on, we predict that the impact of this type of media will only increase. Our suite of tools effectively floods the Internet with true, relevant information lessening the negative effect of such media.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We seek to protect our intellectual property through existing laws and regulations, as well as through contractual restrictions. We rely on trademark, patent and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property.

 

33

 



 

 

Our technologies involve a combination of proprietary rights, owned and developed by us, commercially available software and hardware elements that are licensed or purchased by us from various providers and public domain software. We continue to develop additional technologies to update, replace or supplement our technology platform. We intend to protect these additional rights through patent applications and trade secret enforcement.

 

Government Regulation

 

Like many companies, we are subject to existing and potential government regulation. There are, however, comparatively few laws or regulations specifically applicable to Internet businesses. Accordingly, the application of existing laws to Internet businesses, including ours, is unclear in many instances. There remains significant legal uncertainty in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to: user privacy, the positioning of sponsored listings on search results pages, defamation, taxation, the provision of paid search advertising to online gaming sites, the legality of sweepstakes, promotions and gaming sites generally, and the regulation of content in various jurisdictions. Compliance with federal laws relating to the Internet and Internet businesses may impose upon us significant costs and risks, or may subject us to liability if we do not successfully comply with their requirements, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

 

Several new federal laws that could have an impact on our business have already been adopted. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is intended to reduce the liability of online service providers for listing or linking to third party web properties that include materials that infringe copyrights or rights of others. Because we do not meet the safe harbor requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we could be exposed to copyright actions, which could be costly and time-consuming. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act is intended to restrict the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect user information from minors. In addition, the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act requires online services providers to report evidence of violations of federal child pornography laws under certain circumstances. The foregoing legislation may impose significant additional costs on our business or subject us to additional liabilities, if we were not to comply fully with their terms, whether intentionally or not. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act imposes fines and penalties to persons and operators that are not fully compliant with its requirements. The federal government could impose penalties on those parties that do not meet the full compliance practices of the Protection of Children from Sexual Predators Act. We intend to fully comply with the laws and regulations that govern our industry, and we employ internal resources and incur outside professional fees to establish, review and maintain policies and procedures to reduce the risk of noncompliance. The Can Spam Act regulates how commercial e-mail should be sent. Certain checks and balances need to be in place in order to comply with this Act. Once an individual asks to be removed from our e-mail list, we must make sure they do not get any more e-mail from our organization. We intend to fully comply with the laws and regulations that govern our industry, and we employ internal resources and incur outside professional fees to establish, review and maintain policies and procedures to reduce the risk of noncompliance.

 

The acquisition of Internet domain names generally is governed by Internet regulatory bodies, predominantly the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The regulation of Internet domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change. ICANN and other regulatory bodies could establish additional requirements for previously owned Internet domain names or modify the requirements for holding Internet domain names.

 

We post our privacy policy and practices concerning the use and disclosure of any user data on our web properties and our distribution applications. Any failure by us to comply with posted privacy policies, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other domestic or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings by governmental or regulatory bodies that could potentially harm our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the U.S. Congress and various state legislative bodies regarding privacy issues related to our businesses. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could harm our business through a decrease in user registrations and revenue. These decreases could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the required use of disclaimers or other requirements before users can utilize our services.

 

 

34

 



 

 

There are a growing number of legislative proposals before Congress and various state legislatures regarding privacy issues related to the Internet generally, and some of these proposals apply specifically to paid search businesses. We are unable to determine if and when such legislation may be adopted. If certain proposals were to be adopted, our business could be harmed by increased expenses or lost revenue opportunities, and other unforeseen ways.

 

We anticipate that new laws and regulations affecting us will be implemented in the future. Those new laws, in addition to new applications of existing laws, could expose us to substantial liabilities and compliance costs.

 

In addition, because our services are available over the Internet in multiple states, certain states may claim that we are required to qualify to do business in such state. Currently, we are qualified to do business only in the State of Florida. Our failure to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in these jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business could harm our business and results of operations.

 

Employees

 

As of May 15, 2006 we had 19 full-time employees, 8 of which were engaged in technical delivery, 3 in sales and marketing, and 8 in finance, administration and operations. In addition, we have 8 full-time consultants who are in India and Europe who were engaged in technical deliver and development. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

 

Facilities

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at 206 S Myrtle Ave, Clearwater, FL 33756, where we lease approximately 5,000 square feet of space. We are obligated under two leases for our corporate facility that terminate on June 30, 2007 and require the following approximate future minimum payments:

Legal Proceedings

 

On March 8, 2006, 8, 2006, we filed a complaint for injunctive and other relief against with the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, and Case No. 06-20571-CIV. This is an action for declaratory, injunctive and other relief arising from Florida common law claims for breach of contract, conversion, rescission and action for replevin, relating to 2,100,000 shares of our common stock. In this case, we allege that consideration was never tendered for the issuance of the shares, and accordingly, the defendants do not have a right to such shares. We are asking the Court to rescind the transaction and to instruct our transfer agent to cancel the shares.

 

The Court has issued a temporary restraining order against the defendants and our transfer agent from selling, transferring, exchanging, releasing or assigning the subject stock certificates. The Court required us to post a $5,000 bond. We have filed for a default judgment based in part upon the defendants’ failure to answer our complaint.

 

On May 1, 2006 we received a letter from Hartley M. Lubin purporting to be the managing member of Future Ventures, LLC, alleging that our attempts to obtain the injunction, declare the above-mentioned stock certificate canceled is invalid due to improper service. He further alleges that Future Ventures, LLC has a valid claim to such shares. He alleges that those shares were transferred from Future Ventures, LLC to

 

35

 



 

NAVIGLOBAL and that the checks from Navy Global Energy Corp. were dishonored and accordingly such shares remain the property of Future Ventures, LLC. He indicated his intent to intervene in the subject proceedings.

 

By letter dated May 9, 2006, our counsel notified this individual of the proper court handling this case and advised him that he has the right to intervene in the case if he so desires. At the present time, we have no evidence or documentation that such claims are valid.

 

One of the defendants in this case has indicated he is willing to return 1,050,000 shares if he is released from this legal proceeding. Although we believe that there is merit to our lawsuit, there is no assurance that the Court will continue to rule in our favor or that we will ultimately be able to replevin and cancel the subject shares.

 

On June 12, 2006 the United States District Court granted a default judgment against the defendant, Navy Global Energy Corp., Ivan O. Pearson, Jr. and Wendell R. Wiley, Jr. because they failed to answer the complaint. The defendants are permanently restrained from selling or otherwise transferring the 2,100,000 shares in question.

Management and Other Agreements

In June 2005, we entered into an agreement with The RC&A Group, Inc., an entity controlled by Robert Cefail and Toli Cefail, to provide us with sales and marketing, new business development and administration services. This agreement expires June 11, 2008, is renewable for successive one year terms, and is cancelable by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the agreement’s expiration. Compensation under this agreement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first date of each successive renewal. The consultant will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to our executive officers. In addition, the consultant shall receive options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain revenue measures are met. The consultant shall also receive options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock, at the same discount mentioned above, provided certain profitability measures are met. Since these measures have not been met, no options have been issued and/or are due under this agreement.           

 

In June 2005, we entered into an agreement with Steve and Laura Show, Inc., an entity controlled by Laura A. Betterly, to provide us with executive officer, research and development and other consulting services. This agreement expires June 11, 2008, is renewable for successive one year terms, and is cancelable by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the expiration of the engagement term in effect. Compensation under this arrangement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first date of each successive renewal. The consultant will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to our executive officers. In addition, the consultant shall receive options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain revenue measures are met. The consultant shall also receive options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock, at the same discount mentioned above, provided certain profitability measures are met. Since these measures have not been met, no stock options have been issued and/or are due under this agreement.        

 

We have reached an agreement in principle to cancel these management agreements and replace them with employment agreements for our officers and employees who were the principals of these entities. We have not reached definitive terms regarding such employment agreements. However, we anticipate that each of the individuals would be entitled to compensation in an amount similar to what they are currently earning.

 

Total management fees incurred to these officers during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated $504,300, $316,300, $156,000 and $103,280, respectively. At March 31, 2006, due to related parties included approximately $108,000 owed under these arrangements.

Employee Equity Incentive Plans

In connection with our November 2005 financing, we adopted an Equity Incentive Plan which reserves 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. We anticipate that this Plan will be approved by a majority of our shareholders. The Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified stock options, qualified stock options and restricted stock awards on such terms and conditions as determined by the Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the April 2005 merger between In Touch and Universal, we issued a total of 23,096,125 shares of our common stock to the existing shareholders of In Touch, which represented approximately 82.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the merger date.

 

On June 15, 2006, we issued 721,309 shares of common stock to satisfy $106,676 of accrued compensation due to affiliated companies of senior management for services provided by senior management through March 31, 2006 as well as $30,573 of compensation for services provided subsequent to March 31, 2006.

 

Effective December 16, 2004, we entered a one-year consulting agreement with a principal of one of our joint venture partners. As consideration for assisting us with our business development, increasing our shareholder base and assisting us in locating mezzanine financing and identifying a merger target, we agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to this individual. The stock had a fair value of approximately $.32 on the date of the consummation of our merger and accordingly, we recorded stock based compensation of $960,000 in 2005.

 

On January 13, 2006, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to our attorney as consideration for services. The shares had a value of approximately $45,000 on the date the agreement was reached and accordingly, such amount was expensed as stock based consulting expense in the first quarter of 2006. We have agreed to issue an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock to counsel, as partial payment and partial consideration for legal services. These shares are being registered hereunder.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we borrowed $194,000 under other convertible note agreements (including $150,000 owed to an entity affiliated with one of our joint venture partners) The notes, which were scheduled to mature at various times through July 2006, were converted to 1,649,167 shares of our common stock in January 2006.

 

In connection with placement of a $1,000,000 note to VICIS, we paid Midtown Partners & Co., LLC a nine percent (9%) placement fee ($90,000) and paid Nobelco a six percent (6%) $60,000 finder’s fees. These cash payments are in addition to the placement agent and finder warrants we also issued. In addition we paid VICIS a $15,000 due diligence fee and a $7,500 attorney fee.

 

 

We relied upon Section 4(2) for the issuance of the above securities.

 

In June 2005, we entered into an agreement with the RC&A Group, Inc., an entity controlled by Robert Cefail and Toli Cefail to provide us with sales and marketing, new business development and administrative services. We also entered into a similar agreement with Steve and Laura Show, Inc., an entity controlled by Laura A. Betterly to provide us with executive officer, research and development and other consulting services. See “Executive Compensation-Management and Other Agreements”. Total fees incurred to these officers during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated $504,300, $316,300, $156,000 and $103,280, respectively.

 

In addition to the above compensation, we incurred commission expenses of approximately $28,445, and $5,028 during the year ended December 31, 2005, and the three month period ended March 31, 2006.

 

As part of the Merger Agreement between Universal and In Touch, we agreed to be responsible for approximately $140,000 of prior debts and obligations of Universal. These amounts were to be paid prior to September 20, 2005. We only paid approximately $38,000 of such obligations. In November 2005, we agreed to resolve this matter with Kenneth N. Hankin, Ardie R. Nickel and Richard M. Johnson, former officers, directors and shareholders of Universal, by paying an aggregate of $56,000 and issuing 184,000 shares of our restricted common stock to these individuals ((which shares were issued in January 2006). We also agreed that (i) if the trading price of our stock is not above $.50 per share for 5 trading days during the period between January 13, 2007 and February 12, 2007 and (ii) if we do not have a minimum daily trading volume of at least

 

43

 



 

forty thousand shares during such period, then we would issue an additional 276,000 shares of our common stock to these individuals.

 

We believe that all of the transactions described under this Certain Relationships and Related Transaction caption with our officers and directors were fair and in the best interests of In Touch, such transactions may not necessarily have been on the same terms as if negotiated from unaffiliated third parties. However, management believes that these terms are no less favorable than those that would have been available from unaffiliated third parties.

Common Stock

 

As of June 15, 2006, there were according to our transfer agent 38,087,111 shares of Common Stock, par value of $.001 per share outstanding, held of record by approximately 222 stockholders. This amount includes 2,100,000 shares which have stop transfer instructions for failure to tender consideration for previously issued shares resulting in net outstanding shares of 35,987,111. See further description of these outstanding shares

 

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the selection of directors and all other purposes and do not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors, and in the event of liquidation to receive pro-rata, all assets remaining after payment of debts and expenses. Holders of the Common Stock do not have any pre-emptive or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of capital stock, no conversion rights, redemption, or sinking-fund provisions. In the event of dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, each share of the Common Stock is entitled to share ratably in the assets available for distribution to holders of the equity securities after satisfaction of all liabilities. All the outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Certain Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that no directors shall be personally liable to In Touch or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except as limited by Florida law. Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law each of our directors and officers

 

45

 



 

against expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be invoked to disclaim liability for damages arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1934, (collectively, the “Acts”) as amended, it is the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Acts and are therefore, unenforceable.

Dividends

We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, earnings, capital requirement and the provisions of Delaware law. Our ability to pay dividends is restricted by the terms of the Note and Purchase Agreement we entered into with VICIS. Future issuance and or sales of substantial amounts of common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices in our common stock.

Transfer Agent

Our transfer agent is Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc., 7130 Nob Hill Road, Tamarac, Florida 33321.

Registration Rights Issues

We granted VICIS registration rights in connection with the November 2005 placement of the note and related common stock purchase warrants. We previously registered those shares and are updating the registration of those shares in this registration statement. We are also registering shares of common stock underlying the new options to purchase common stock as described above.. We are required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part. If we fail to meet these time frames, we are subject to liquidated damages payable either in cash or Series A Warrants (as determined by dividing the amount of liquidated damages by the fixed conversion price as defined in the note, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of the note and Series A Warrants for each calendar month or portion thereof until the registration statement is declared effective). In no event shall the amount of liquidated damages exceed nine percent (9%) of the amount of the initial investment in the note. Our failure to timely file and have declared effective a selling shareholder registration statement will have an adverse effect on our operations due to the amount of liquidated damages that we will incur for failure to fulfill our registration rights obligations with respect to these investors. See “Circumstances under which Selling Stockholders Acquired Securities”.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

In November 2005, VICIS was issued the following warrants in connection with their purchase of certain convertible notes payable:

 

Series A - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

Series B - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

Series C - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

As mentioned below, in May of 2006, the exercise price per share for the Series A warrants was reduced to nominal value and the expiration date of such warrants was extended.

 

In addition, we issued the placement agent and finders in the transaction discussed above, the following warrants as a finder’s fee, which are convertible to shares of our common stock as follows:

 

800,000 warrants, expiring March 31, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.20/share.

 

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

 

46

 



 

 

All of these placement agent and finder warrants have cashless exercise and piggyback registration rights.

 

On May 5, 2006, we closed a $550,000 funding agreement with VICIS We agreed to (i) reprice the Series A-1 Warrants for 5,000,000 common shares from $.45 to $.001 and extend the term thereof for six (6) years; (ii) issue a new Series A-2 Warrant for 5,000,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term; (iii) reprice a placement agreement Warrant for 500,000 common shares originally with an exercise price of $.45 to $.001 with a six (6) year term; and (iv) issue a new placement agent Warrant for 500,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term. The net charge to operations as a result of the re-pricing agreement is expected to approximate $1,000,000.

 

These shares were initially registered in February 2006 and we are updating such registration through this filing. We are required to register the shares underlying these outstanding common stock purchase warrants and maintain an effective registration statement as long as VICIS owns the shares. Our failure to maintain the effectiveness of our registration statement could result in liquidated damages. The holders of these warrants have cashless exercise provisions and most favored nation’s status anti-dilution protection.

Penny Stock Considerations

Penny Stock Regulation Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “Penny Stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risk associated with the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer must make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.

 

In Touch’s securities will likely have a trading price of less than $5.00 per share and will not be traded on any exchanges, therefore we will be subject to Penny Stock Rules. As a result of the aforesaid rules regulating penny stocks, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of shareholders sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

47

 



 

 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

As of June 8, 2006 we had 2,973,391 common shares that were freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, unless such shares are purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Shares that cannot be traded without restriction are referred to as “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered of if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or group of person whose shares are aggregated), including affiliates of the Company, who have beneficially owned shares of our Common Stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any three-month period, an amount of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of:

 

 

 

1% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding (approximately 150,360 shares as of June 30, 2005); or

 

 

 

 

the average weekly trading volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

 

 

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

 

Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any that market sales of In Touch’s Common Stock, or the availability of the Common Stock for sale, will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities. See “Risk Factors — Future Sales of our Common Stock may depress our stock price.”

 

The registration of the shares under this Prospectus plus future other additional shares as we may be required to include in such registration statements, will result in a substantial number of our shares being eligible for future sale without Rule 144 restrictions, assuming the subject registration statements are declared effective. Sales of shares pursuant to any future registration statement could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

 

(a)

Previous independent accountants:

 

(i)           On January 24, 2006, we dismissed Michael Johnson & Co., LLC, Denver, Colorado (“Johnson”), as our independent accountants and on the same date engaged Kingery & Crouse, P.A., Tampa, Florida (“Kingery”), as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

 

(ii)         The reports of Johnson on the financial statements of Universal for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. However, Johnson’s report for the year ended December 31, 2004 included an explanatory paragraph noting Universal’s limited liquid resources, recurring losses from operations and its need to raise additional capital, all of which raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

(iii)        The Board of Directors made the decision to change independent accountants. Kingery was the independent certified public accountant for Data Resources (predecessor to Universal and In Touch) and is located in the same metropolitan area of In Touch. This change of independent accountant was deemed prudent in connection with the merger between Universal and In Touch.

 

(iv)        In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through January 24, 2006, there were no disagreements with Johnson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Johnson, would have caused them to make reference to such disagreements in their report on the financial statements for such years.

 

(v)         During the two most recent fiscal years and through January 24, 2006, Johnson did not advise us of any of the events described in Item 304(a)(1)(B) of Regulation S-B.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a)         Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. In Touch is evaluating, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. We are only in the initial phases of establishing compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. There is no assurance that we will be able to timely comply with the Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley controls and procedure requirements in connection with the audit of our fiscal 2007 financial statements.

 

(b)         Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. In connection with the new rules, we are in the process of further reviewing and documenting our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes designed to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. In connection with our ongoing evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, certain internal control matters were noted that require corrective actions.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and will require a significant amount of capital to proceed with its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In Touch Media Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was initially incorporated in 2002 under the laws of the state of Florida as Data Resources Consulting, Inc. (“DRC”). The Company, which is located in Clearwater, Florida, provides marketing services, including targeted market research, search engine marketing and design, e-mail broadcasts, website development, blogs, and other related services to customers worldwide.

 

Principles of Consolidation  

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Corium Marketing Group, Inc. (collectively “we”, “us”, “our”), a 50% owned joint venture that we control. Financial position and results of operations for this joint venture were minimal as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004; as such no minority interest has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

We also hold joint venture interests in various entities that have effectively been dormant since their inception and have minimal financial position and/or results of operations. Because we do not control the ventures, the investments are accounted for using the equity method. A detail of our investments in these joint ventures is as follows at December 31, 2005:

Merger

 

In April 2005, DRC consummated a merger and recapitalization with Universal Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. (“Universal”), a publicly held company incorporated in the state of Florida. From a legal perspective, Universal was the surviving company and thus continues its public reporting obligations. However, for financial statement purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization whereby DRC was deemed to be the acquirer, and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. In connection therewith, DRC succeeded to Universal’s name (which name was changed to In Touch Media Group, Inc. on May 2, 2005), and its shareholders received 21,297,573 shares of Universal’s common stock on the date of transaction (which amount was supposed to represent 82.5% of the

 

outstanding number of Universal’s shares after the merger). However, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective date of the merger, Universal settled certain liabilities by issuing 381,511 shares of its common stock and accordingly, immediately prior to the recapitalization Universal had 4,899,178 shares outstanding. During January 2006, management decided to restore the shareholders of DRC to the aforementioned 82.5% ownership position and issued an additional 1,798,552 shares to such shareholders. In addition to the issuance of stock, the Company assumed liabilities of $140,000 which had a remaining unpaid balance of $45,800 as of December 31, 2005, and were included in Due to Related Parties. On November 29, 2005 we agreed to issue 184,000 shares of our common stock to satisfy this liability, and we issued this stock on January 13, 2006. We also agreed that if the trading price of our stock is not above $.50

 

60

 



 

per share for 5 trading days during the period January 13, 2007 – February 12, 2007 we would issue an additional 276,000 shares of our common stock to this entity. Because the liability was satisfied for equity, the amount has been reflected as a non-current liability at December 31, 2005.

 

Contingency

 

In 2005, we determined that Universal had issued an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock prior to our merger. Because we believe that no consideration was ever tendered for the shares, we have filed suit to have the shares canceled. These shares, and any additional shares that may be issued to the predecessor shareholders of DRC to restore them to the aforementioned 82.5% ownership percentage, have not been reflected as issued and outstanding in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. However, the case is in the discovery stage and accordingly its ultimate resolution cannot be determined at this time. Accordingly, no effect has been given to any loss that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock Split

 

Immediately prior to this transaction, DRC increased its outstanding shares via a reverse stock split whereby the outstanding shares were increased to 21,297,573 shares. All references to the number of shares in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the stock split as though it occurred at the date of our incorporation.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.

 

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

 

Our revenue recognition policy is consistent with the criteria set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”) for determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 104 we recognize revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or

 

determinable; and (4) collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. As such, we recognize revenues as services are rendered.

 

Generally our fees for our services are paid in advance and/or upon completion of the services. However, alternative terms are negotiated periodically, and such receivables are presented in the balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectibility of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and we charge bad debts in the form of an allowance account in the period the receivables are deemed uncollectible. Receivables are written off when we abandon our collection efforts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial

 

61

 



 

statements relate principally to the determination and valuation of derivative financial instruments and the contingent issuance of shares discussed above, as well as the recoverability of long-lived assets. The markets for our services are characterized by intense competition which could impact the future realizability of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using either the straight-line method or an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable. We believe that all of our long-lived assets are recoverable as of December 31, 2005.

 

Income Taxes

 

We compute income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement carrying amounts. Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. There were no significant temporary differences between financial and taxable reporting at December 31, 2005 or 2004.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

We believe the book value of our financial instruments included in our current assets and liabilities, and the non-current balances of our due to related parties and other convertible notes payable approximates their fair values as they were (are) to be paid and/or satisfied in the short-term. In addition, we believe the book value of our capital lease obligation approximates its fair value as the interest rate on such obligation approximates rates at which similar types of arrangements could be currently negotiated by us. Finally, we believe the book values of our convertible note payable to VICIS and derivative financial instrument liabilities (see policy note below) approximates their fair values as such amounts were derived using a Black Scholes pricing model, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and receivables. We maintain all of our cash in deposit accounts with financial institutions, where deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Substantially all of our revenues and receivables arise primarily from marketing services agreements. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral as we believe we have certain collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses.

 

 

 

62

 



 

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion features. When the risks and rewards of an embedded derivative instrument are not "clearly and closely" related to the risks and rewards of the host instrument, the embedded derivative instrument is generally required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately. If the convertible instrument is debt, or has debt-like characteristics, the risks and rewards associated with the embedded conversion option are not "clearly and closely" related to that debt host instrument because the conversion option has the risks and rewards associated with an equity instrument rather than a debt instrument, because its value is related to the value of our stock.

 

Nonetheless, if the host instrument is considered to be "conventional convertible debt" (or "conventional convertible preferred stock"), bifurcation of the embedded

conversion option is generally not required. However, if the instrument is not considered to be conventional convertible debt (or conventional convertible preferred stock) because the conversion feature is not based on a fixed number of shares, it is not considered to be “conventional convertible debt” as that term is used in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”) and bifurcation of the embedded conversion option may be required in certain circumstances. Generally, when the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be beyond our control, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.

 

In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may also issue freestanding options or warrants. Additionally, we may issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide. Although the terms of the options and warrants may not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within our control and, accordingly, we are required to account for these freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

 

Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and freestanding options and warrants, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock. The existence of these potential cash penalties may also require that the embedded conversion option and the freestanding options or warrants be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to results of operations. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the derivative instruments.

 

To the extent that the initial fair values of the bifurcated and/or freestanding derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to operations is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt resulting from allocating part or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to operations, using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

 

63

 



 

 

Advertising

 

We expense advertising costs as they are incurred. These expenses approximated $158,100 and $65,600 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

We compute net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (“SFAS No. 128”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There were no common stock equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, common stock equivalent shares arise from options and warrants (see Notes E and F). Because of our net losses in 2005, none of these common stock equivalent shares are dilutive; accordingly basic and diluted net loss per share are identical for each of the periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company used Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS No. 148) to account for its stock based compensation arrangements. This statement amended the disclosure provision of FASB statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company would have used the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account for any of its stock-based employee compensation arrangements (no such arrangements were applicable through December 31, 2005).

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (“FAS 123 (R)”), Share-Based Payments, which is effective for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2006. The statement will require the Company to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. Since the Company has not had any share-based payments through December 31, 2005, the statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Pronouncements

 

We have reviewed all new accounting pronouncements and have determined that only the following pronouncements could have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations:

 

SFAS 155 – ‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’

 

This Statement, issued in February 2006, amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation

 

64

 



 

Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement:

 

 

a.

Permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation

 

b.

Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133

 

c.

Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation

 

d.

Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives

 

e.

Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

 

This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of our first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

 

The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

 

We are currently reviewing the effects of adoption of this statement but it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

SFAS 154 'Accounting Changes and Error Corrections--a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3

 

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 154. This Statement replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and

changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed.

 

SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. It will only affect our financial statements if we change any of our accounting principles. At this time, other than SFAS 123® which has specific transaction provisions, no such changes are contemplated or anticipated.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

 

 

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and

 

65

 



 

liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from operations and at December 31, 2005 have a stockholders’ deficit. Furthermore, we will require a significant amount of capital to proceed with our business plan. As such, our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon us being able to secure an adequate amount of debt or equity capital to enable us to meet our operating cash requirements and successfully implement our business plan. In addition, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

 

Prior to becoming a public company, we funded our cash requirements through our operations. With respect to this matter, we became a public company through the merger discussed at Note A, and in 2005 we sold various convertible notes, primarily to fund (1) the additional costs of being a public company and (2) infrastructure needed to support our planned growth. We believe that as a public company we will have better access to additional debt or equity capital, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing. As discussed in Note E, we issued various convertible debt securities and warrants in 2005 for net cash proceeds of $1,021,500, and at December 31, 2005, we have cash of approximately $364,000. We believe this amount, coupled with improved cash flow from operations that we are projecting in 2006, will provide sufficient cash flow to meet our cash commitments through the end of 2006.

 

However, there can be no assurance that our plans discussed above will materialize and/or that we will be successful in raising required capital to grow our business and/or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time

Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE C – INCOME TAXES

 

We recognized losses for both financial and tax reporting purposes during both of the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, no provisions for income taxes and/or deferred income taxes payable have been provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Assuming our net operating loss carryforwards are not disallowed by taxing authorities because of certain “change in control” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, at December 31, 2005 we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $754,000 for income tax purposes (the significant difference between our net operating carryforwards and our deficit arises primarily from the loss on derivative financial instruments and stock issued to consultants that are considered to be permanent differences between book and tax reporting) . These carryforwards expire in various years through the year ended December 31, 2025. Components of our non-current deferred income tax asset, assuming an effective income tax rate of 39.5%, are approximately as follows at December 31, 2005:

Our non-current deferred income tax asset is not recorded in the accompanying 2005 consolidated balance sheet because we established a valuation allowance to fully reserve such asset as its realization did not meet the required asset recognition standard established by SFAS 109. The total valuation allowance increased by approximately $223,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.

NOTE D – COMMON STOCK

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

On November 30, 2005 we established the “In Touch Media Group, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”). The plan allows for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of stock to be issued to employees, officers, directors, independent contractors and advisors, in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock awards. The board will designate the administrator of the plan who will have full authority to grant stock incentives and related terms, as well as the authority to interpret and amend the plan. As of December 31, 2005 there were no stock incentives granted under the plan.

On November 30, 2005, we issued a $1,000,000 9% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due May 31, 2007, unless sooner converted as discussed below (the "Note") and 15,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”), for aggregate consideration of $1,000,000. The Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share. Semi-annual interest payments are due on May 31 and November 30, however, and assuming certain conditions exist, we may elect to pay such interest in registered shares of our common stock, at an amount equal to the interest accrued divided by 85% of the average of the closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the interest payment date.

 

In connection with the Note and the Warrants, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchasers, requiring us to file a registration statement registering 120% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon repayment of the principal amount of the Note, including any interest accrued thereon, and 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The required registration statement was filed on January 25, 2006 and became effective on February 9, 2006. While we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares, we may receive proceeds from the Selling Stockholders if they exercise their warrants.

 

We are required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all registered securities have been sold or until they may be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k). In the event that we fail to do so, we are obligated to pay, to the holders of the Note, damages of 1% of the face amount of the Notes per month, up to an aggregate maximum of 9%.

 

As long as the Note is outstanding, if the Company enters into any subsequent financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Notes, then the holders of the Notes may exchange the Notes, valued at their stated value, together with accrued but unpaid interest (which interest payments are payable, at the option of the holders, in cash or in the form of the new securities to be issued in the subsequent financing), for the securities to be issued in the subsequent financing. Additionally, if we issue common stock or other securities convertible into common stock at a

price per share lower than the conversion price of the Note, the conversion price of the Note will be reduced to that lower conversion price.

 

67

 



 

 

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, occurs and is continuing, the holders of the Note may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, together with all interest accrued, due and payable.

 

The 15,000,000 common stock warrants, which are exercisable at any time, are designated as series A, B and C, and are convertible to shares of our common stock as follows:

 

Series A - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

Series B - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

Series C - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

In connection with the Note and the Warrants, we also issued 3,200,000 warrants as a finder’s fee. These warrants, which may be exercised on a cashless basis, are convertible to shares of our common stock as follows:

 

800,000 warrants, expiring March 31, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.20/share.

 

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

All of the Warrants require that, if we issue common stock or other securities convertible into common stock at a price per share lower than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to that lower price.

 

Because the conversion price of the Note and the exercise price of the Warrants will be lowered if we sell securities at a lower conversion or exercise price, the number of shares that we may have to issue on conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants is not fixed or determinable. As a result, the Note is not considered to be “conventional convertible debt”, as that term is used by EITF Issue 00-19. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in the Note is subject to the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19. Because the number of shares we may have to issue is indeterminate, we are required by EITF Issue 00-19 to bifurcate the embedded conversion option of the Note and account for it, as well as the Warrants, as derivative financial instrument liabilities. The derivative financial instrument liabilities are initially recorded at their fair value and are then adjusted to fair value at the end of each subsequent period, with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.

 

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the Warrants, and the embedded conversion option component of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument. In valuing these

derivative instruments, at the time they were issued and at December 31, 2005, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of 0%, and the remaining period to the expiration date of the warrants or repayment date of the Note. Because of the limited historical trading period of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock over the remaining life of the Warrants and the Note has been estimated at 35%, by comparison to the average volatility of companies considered by management as comparable. The risk-free rates of return used ranged from 4.34% to 4.49%, based on constant maturity rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, applicable to the remaining life of the Warrants and the Note.

 

The fair value of the Warrants issued to the purchasers of the Note, together with the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument, initially exceeded the face amount of the Note. As a result, the Note was initially recorded at zero and is being accreted using an effective interest method, to its redemption value of $1,000,000 over the 18 month period to its maturity on May 31, 2007.

 

At December 31, 2005, the following derivative instrument liabilities related to the Warrants and the embedded derivative instrument in the Note were outstanding:

Other convertible notes payable

 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we borrowed $194,000 under other convertible note agreements (including $150,000 owed to an entity affiliated with one of our joint venture partners, and $20,000 owed to an employee that was personally guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer). The notes (including accrued interest payable of $8,486), which were scheduled to mature at various times through July 2006, were converted to 1,649,167 shares of our common stock in January 2006. Because of this, the notes have been reflected as non-current at December 31, 2005. We granted these note holders piggyback registration rights and the shares of common stock were included in the registration statement related to the Note and Warrants, which, as discussed above, became effective on February 9, 2006.

 

NOTE F – COMMITMENTS

 

Management Agreements

 

During the periods through June 23, 2005, we paid management fees to our primary officers and stockholders under a verbal arrangement. Effective June 23, 2005 we entered into the following management agreements:

 

 

An agreement with The RC&A Group, Inc. (“RCA”), an entity controlled by two of our officers, to provide us with sales and marketing, new business development and administration services. This agreement, which is expected to be converted to separate employment agreements for these officers in 2006 that

 

69

 



 

will have similar terms, expires June 11, 2008 and is renewable for successive one year terms (unless the agreement is canceled by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the agreement’s expiration). Compensation under this arrangement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first date of each successive renewal. RCA will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to other executive officers.

 

 

In addition, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2005, on a quarterly basis, RCA shall receive options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain profitability and revenue measures during the respective quarter. These profitability and revenue measures were not met, and accordingly, we have no obligation to issue such stock options under this agreement as of December 31, 2005.

 

 

An agreement with Steve and Laura Show, Inc. (“SLS”), an entity controlled by one of our officers, to provide us with executive officer, research and development and other consulting services. This agreement, which is expected to be converted to separate employment agreements for these officers in 2006 that will have similar terms, expires June 11, 2008 and is renewable for successive one year terms (unless the agreement is canceled by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the agreement’s expiration).

Compensation under this arrangement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first date of each successive renewal. SLS will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to our executive officers.

 

 

In addition, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2005, on a quarterly basis, SLS shall receive options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain profitability and revenue measures during the respective quarter. These profitability and revenue measures were not met, and accordingly, we have no obligation to issue such stock options under this agreement as of December 31, 2005.

 

Total management fees incurred to these officers during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 approximated $504,300 and $316,300, respectively. At December 31, 2005 due to related parties includes $55,650 owed under these arrangements.

 

Capital Lease

Operating Lease  

 

At December 31, 2004, we leased our operating facility under an operating lease that terminated on June 30, 2005. Payments required under this lease approximated $1,660 per month.

 

In July 2005, we entered into certain operating leases for our facilities. These leases terminate on June 30, 2007 and require the following approximate future minimum payments:

NOTE G – OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On December 16, 2004, the Company entered a one-year consulting agreement with a principal of one of the joint venture partners. As consideration for assisting with business development, increasing shareholder base, assisting in locating mezzanine financing and identifying a merger target, we have agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to this individual. The stock had a fair value of approximately $0.32 per share on the date of the merger and accordingly, a charge of $960,000 was recorded. Through December 31, 2005, $960,000 has been reflected as stock based consulting expenses. The stock was issued on January 13, 2006; accordingly it has been reflected as common stock subscribed as of December 31, 2005.

 

NOTE H – GAIN ON LIABILITY EXTINGUISHMENT

 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, various unsecured liabilities having a carrying value of approximately $80,000 were extinguished. The transactions resulted because the age of the payables led management and its legal counsel to conclude that the Company had no further legal liability to pay the liabilities. Because none of the liabilities were to related parties, the extinguishments are included in other income in the accompanying 2005 consolidated statement of operations.

 

NOTE I – OTHER SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 11, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Compass International Consulting (“CIC”) to purchase marketing and communication services related to our shareholders and prospective investors. The Company agreed to issue CIC 1,250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock. The term of this agreement is one year and it is cancelable by either party for cause. On January 13, 2006 we issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock in connection with this agreement.

 

On January 13, 2006, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to our attorney as consideration for services having a value of approximately $6,000.

 

 

71

 



 

 

On March 3, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a customer to provide certain acquisition and management services relating to a celebrity endorsement campaign. Under that agreement we will receive 3,000,000 shares of the customer’s common stock and will provide 1,500,000 of those shares to the celebrity entertainer. The shares of stock received are restricted because the customer is a non-reporting public entity.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE A – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In Touch Media Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was initially incorporated in 2002 under the laws of the state of Florida as Data Resources Consulting, Inc. (“DRC”). The Company, which is located in Clearwater, Florida, provides marketing services, including targeted market research, search engine marketing and design, e-mail broadcasts, website development, blogs, and other related services to customers worldwide.

 

Principles of Consolidation  

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Corium Marketing Group, Inc. (collectively “we”, “us”, “our”), a 50% owned joint venture that we control. Financial position and results of operations for this joint venture have been minimal through March 31, 2006; as such no minority interest has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

We also hold joint venture interests in various entities that have effectively been dormant since their inception and have minimal financial position and/or results of operations. Because we do not control the ventures, the investments are accounted for using the equity method. A detail of our investments in these joint ventures is as follows at March 31, 2006:

Merger

 

In April 2005, DRC consummated a merger and recapitalization with Universal Healthcare Management Systems, Inc. (“Universal”), a publicly held company incorporated in the state of Florida. From a legal perspective, Universal was the surviving company and thus continues its public reporting obligations. However, for financial statement purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger

 

78

 



 

and recapitalization whereby DRC was deemed to be the acquirer, and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. In connection therewith, DRC succeeded to Universal’s name (which name was changed to In Touch Media Group, Inc. on May 2, 2005), and its shareholders received 21,297,573 shares of Universal’s common stock on the date of transaction (which amount was supposed to represent 82.5% of the outstanding number of Universal’s shares after the merger). However, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective date of the merger, Universal settled certain liabilities by issuing 381,511 shares of its common stock and accordingly, immediately prior to the recapitalization Universal had 4,899,178 shares outstanding.

 

During January 2006, management decided to restore the shareholders of DRC to the aforementioned 82.5% ownership position and issued an additional 1,798,552 shares to such shareholders.

 

In addition to the issuance of stock, the Company assumed liabilities of $140,000 which had a remaining unpaid balance of $45,800 as of December 31, 2005. On November 29, 2005 we agreed to issue 184,000 shares of our common stock to certain former shareholders of Universal to satisfy this liability, and we issued this stock on January 13, 2006. We also agreed that (i) if the trading price of our stock is not above $.50 per share for 5 trading days during the period between January 13, 2007 and February 12, 2007 and (ii) if we do not have a minimum daily trading volume of at least forty thousand shares during such period, then we would issue an additional 276,000 shares of our common stock to these individuals.

 

Contingency

 

In 2005, we determined that Universal had issued an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock prior to our merger. Because we believe that no consideration was ever tendered for the shares, we have filed suit to have the shares canceled and we have been successful in obtaining a preliminary injunction precluding the sale and/or transfer of these shares. Because of this, these shares have not been reflected as issued and outstanding in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, no effect has been given to any loss that may result from the resolution of this matter in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock Split

 

Immediately prior to the merger, DRC increased its outstanding shares via a reverse stock split whereby its outstanding shares were increased to 21,297,573 shares. All references to the number of shares in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the stock split as though it occurred at the date of our incorporation.

 

 

 

79

 



 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 10-1 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 contained in our Form 10-KSB.

 

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

 

Our revenue recognition policy is consistent with the criteria set forth in Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 – Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB 104”) for determining when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. In accordance with the requirements of SAB 104 we recognize revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of our services has occurred; (3) our price to our customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured. As such, we recognize revenues as services are rendered.

 

Generally our fees for our services are paid in advance and/or upon completion of the services. However, alternative terms are negotiated periodically, and such receivables are presented in the balance sheets net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectibility of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently payments have been received and we charge bad debts in the form of an allowance account in the period the receivables are deemed uncollectible. Receivables are written off when we abandon our collection efforts.

 

 

80

 



 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate principally to the determination and valuation of derivative financial instruments and the contingent issuance of shares discussed above, as well as valuation of securities received for services and the recoverability of long-lived assets. The markets for our services are characterized by intense competition which could impact the future realizability of our assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. It is at least reasonably possible that our estimates could change in the near term with respect to these matters.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” requires that long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets in question may not be recoverable. We believe that all of our long-lived assets are recoverable as of March 31, 2006.

 

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

We believe the book value of the financial instruments included in our current assets and liabilities approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature. In addition, we believe the book value of our capital lease obligation approximates its fair value as the interest rate on such obligation approximates rates at which similar types of arrangements could be currently negotiated by us. Finally, we believe the book values of our convertible note payable and derivative financial instrument liabilities (see policy note below) approximates their fair values as such amounts were derived using a Black Scholes pricing model and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, and receivables. We maintain all of our cash in deposit accounts with financial institutions, where deposit accounts at times may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Substantially all of our revenues and receivables arise primarily from marketing services agreements. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral as we believe we have certain collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses.

 

81

 



 

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion features. When the risks and rewards of an embedded derivative instrument are not "clearly and closely" related to the risks and rewards of the host instrument, the embedded derivative instrument is generally required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately. If the convertible instrument is debt, or has debt-like characteristics, the risks and rewards associated with the embedded conversion option are not "clearly and closely" related to that debt host instrument because the conversion option has the risks and rewards associated with an equity instrument rather than a debt instrument, because its value is related to the value of our stock.

 

Nonetheless, if the host instrument is considered to be "conventional convertible debt" (or "conventional convertible preferred stock"), bifurcation of the embedded conversion option is generally not required. However, if the instrument is not considered to be conventional convertible debt (or conventional convertible preferred stock) because the conversion feature is not based on a fixed number of shares, it is not considered to be “conventional convertible debt” as that term is used in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-19 (“EITF 00-19”) and bifurcation of the embedded conversion option may be required in certain circumstances. Generally, when the ability to physical or net-share settle the conversion option is deemed to be beyond our control, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability.

 

In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may also issue freestanding options or warrants. Additionally, we may issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services they provide. Although the terms of the options and warrants may not provide for net-cash settlement, in certain circumstances, physical or net-share settlement is deemed to not be within our control and, accordingly, we are required to account for these freestanding options and warrants as derivative financial instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

 

Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and freestanding options and warrants, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock. The existence of these potential cash penalties may also require that the embedded conversion option and the freestanding options or warrants be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to

 

82

 



 

results of operations. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to value the derivative instruments.

 

To the extent that the initial fair values of the bifurcated and/or freestanding derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to operations is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt resulting from allocating part or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to operations, using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

We compute net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (“SFAS No. 128”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB 98"). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There were no common stock equivalents outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, common stock equivalent shares arose from the warrants discussed at Notes C and F. Because of our net losses in 2005, these warrants are anti-dilutive; accordingly basic and diluted net loss per share are identical for each of the periods in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation  

 

Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company used Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" (SFAS No. 148) to account for its stock based compensation arrangements. This statement amended the disclosure provision of FASB statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 and amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company would have used the intrinsic value

 

83

 



 

method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account for any of its stock-based employee compensation arrangements (no such arrangements were applicable through December 31, 2005).

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement Number 123 (“FAS 123 (R)”), Share-Based Payments, which is effective for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2006. The statement will require the Company to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. Since the Company has not had any share-based payments through December 31, 2005, the statement did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Loan Acquisition Costs

 

Loan acquisition costs, which arose from the origination of the convertible note payable -discussed at Note C , are being amortized over the terms of the indebtedness (18 months) using the straight line method.

 

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred losses from operations and at March 31, 2006 have significant working capital and stockholders’ deficits. In addition, we will require a significant amount of capital to proceed with our business plan. As discussed at Note A, in April 2005, we merged with a publicly held company, and we believe our status as a public company will continue to provide us with access to debt or equity capital. As discussed at Note G, in May of 2006, we closed a $550,000 funding agreement and we believe the net cash generated from this transaction (which will be somewhat less than $500,000 because of various holdbacks and payments of legal expenses), coupled with cash generated by operations, will be adequate to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance of such, nor can we assure you that we will be successful in raising additional debt or equity capital in the event our current and anticipated cash resources are not adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

84

 



 

 

NOTE C – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, COMMON STOCK WARRANTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INTRUMENTS

 

At March 31, 2006, the convertible note payable is comprised of the following:

 

9% Senior Secured Promissory Note, due May 31, 2007

$

1,000,000

 

 

 

Less: unamortized discount related to bifurcated embedded derivative

instruments and freestanding warrants

 

(989,697)

 

 

 

Convertible Note Payable

$

10,303

 

 

 

 

On November 30, 2005, we issued a $1,000,000 9% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due May 31, 2007, unless sooner converted as discussed below (the "Note") and 15,000,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Warrants”), for aggregate consideration of $1,000,000. The Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at $0.20 per share. Semi-annual interest payments are due on May 31 and November 30, however, and assuming certain conditions exist, we may elect to pay such interest in registered shares of our common stock, at an amount equal to the interest accrued divided by 85% of the average of the closing bid price for the five trading days immediately preceding the interest payment date.

 

In connection with the Note and the Warrants, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the purchasers, requiring us to file a registration statement registering 120% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon repayment of the principal amount of the Note, including any interest accrued thereon, and 100% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The required registration statement was filed on January 25, 2006 and became effective on February 9, 2006. While we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares, we may receive proceeds from the Selling Stockholders if they exercise their warrants.

 

We are required to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all registered securities have been sold or until they may be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k). In the event that we fail to do so, we are obligated to pay, to the holders of the Note, damages of 1% of the face amount of the Notes per month, up to an aggregate maximum of 9%.

 

As long as the Note is outstanding, if the Company enters into any subsequent financing on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Notes, then the holders of the Notes may exchange the Notes, valued at their stated value, together with accrued but unpaid interest (which interest payments are payable, at the option of the holders, in cash or in the form of the new securities to be

 

85

 



 

issued in the subsequent financing), for the securities to be issued in the subsequent financing. Additionally, if we issue common stock or other securities convertible into common stock at a price per share lower than the conversion price of the Note, the conversion price of the Note will be reduced to that lower conversion price.

 

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Note, occurs and is continuing, the holders of the Note may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note, together with all interest accrued, due and payable.

 

The 15,000,000 common stock warrants, which are exercisable at any time, are designated as series A, B and C, and are convertible to shares of our common stock as follows:

 

Series A - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

Series B - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

Series C - 5,000,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

As mentioned at Note G, in May of 2006, the exercise price per share for the Series A warrants was reduced to nominal value and the expiration date of such warrants was extended.

 

In connection with the Note and the Warrants, we also issued 3,200,000 warrants as a finder’s fee. These warrants, which may be exercised on a cashless basis, are convertible to shares of our common stock as follows:

 

            800,000 warrants, expiring March 31, 2007, at an exercise price of $0.20/share.

            800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2010, at an exercise price of $0.45/share.

            800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.70/share.

            800,000 warrants, expiring November 30, 2015, at an exercise price of $0.90/share.

 

All of the Warrants require that, if we issue common stock or other securities convertible into common stock at a price per share lower than the exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced to that lower price.

 

Because the conversion price of the Note and the exercise price of the Warrants will be lowered if we sell securities at a lower conversion or exercise price, the number of shares that we may have to issue on conversion of the Note or exercise of the Warrants is not fixed or determinable. As a result, the Note is not considered to be “conventional convertible debt”, as that term is used by EITF

 

86

 



 

Issue 00-19. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in the Note is subject to the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19. Because the number of shares we may have to issue is indeterminate, we are required by EITF Issue 00-19 to bifurcate the embedded conversion option of the Note and account for it, as well as the Warrants, as derivative financial instrument liabilities. The derivative financial instrument liabilities are initially recorded at their fair value and are then adjusted to fair value at the end of each subsequent period, with any changes in the fair value charged or credited to income in the period of change.

 

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the Warrants, and the embedded conversion option component of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument. In valuing these derivative instruments, at the time they were issued and at December 31, 2005, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of 0%, and the remaining period to the expiration date of the warrants or repayment date of the Note. Because of the limited historical trading period of our common stock, the expected volatility of our common stock over the remaining life of the Warrants and the Note has been estimated at 35%, by comparison to the average volatility of companies considered by management as comparable. The risk-free rates of return used ranged from 4.34% to 4.49%, based on constant maturity rates published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, applicable to the remaining life of the Warrants and the Note.

 

The fair value of the Warrants issued to the purchasers of the Note, together with the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instrument, initially exceeded the face amount of the Note. As a result, the Note was initially recorded at zero and is being accreted using an effective interest method, to its redemption value of $1,000,000 over the 18 month period to its maturity on May 31, 2007.

 

At March 31, 2006, the following derivative instrument liabilities related to the Warrants and the embedded derivative instrument in the Note were outstanding:

NOTE D – COMMITMENTS

 

Management Agreements

 

Through June 23, 2005, we paid management fees to our primary officers and stockholders under a verbal arrangement. Effective June 23, 2005 we entered into the following management agreements:

 

 

An agreement with The RC&A Group, Inc. (“RCA”), an entity controlled by two of our officers, to provide us with sales and marketing, new business development and administration services. This agreement, which is expected to be converted to separate employment agreements for these officers in 2006 that will have similar terms, expires June 11, 2008 and is renewable for successive one year terms (unless the agreement is canceled by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the agreement’s expiration). Compensation under this arrangement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first date of each successive renewal. RCA will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to other executive officers.

 

In addition, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2005, on a quarterly basis, RCA shall receive options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain profitability and revenue measures during the respective quarter. These profitability and revenue measures were not met, and accordingly, we have no obligation to issue such stock options under this agreement as of March 31, 2006.

 

 

An agreement with Steve and Laura Show, Inc. (“SLS”), an entity controlled by one of our officers, to provide us with executive officer, research and development and other consulting services. This agreement, which is expected to be converted to separate employment agreements for these officers in 2006 that will have similar terms, expires June 11, 2008 and is renewable for successive one year terms (unless the agreement is canceled by either party by providing written notice at least 45 days prior to the agreement’s expiration). Compensation under this arrangement is $6,000 per week and is to be increased by 6% on the first

date of each successive renewal. SLS will also be entitled to various fringe benefits that are provided by us to our executive officers.

 

In addition, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2005, on a quarterly basis, SLS shall receive options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our common stock each quarter, at a price equal to 50% of the price of such shares on the date of the execution of this agreement, provided certain profitability and revenue measures during the respective quarter. These profitability and revenue measures were not met, and accordingly, we have no obligation to issue such stock options under this agreement as of March 31, 2006.

 

Total management fees incurred to these officers during the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated $156,000 and $103,280, respectively. At March 31, 2006, due to related parties includes $108,126 owed under these arrangements.

 

NOTE E – CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

Effective December 16, 2004, we entered a one-year consulting agreement with a principal of one of our joint venture partners. As consideration for assisting us with our business development, increasing our shareholder base and assisting us in locating mezzanine financing and identifying a merger target, we agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to this individual. The stock had a fair value of approximately $.32 on the date of the consummation of our merger and accordingly, we initially recorded deferred compensation of $960,000. One quarter of this amount (or $240,000) was reflected as stock based consulting expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The stock was issued in January 2006.

 

NOTE F – OTHER SIGNIFICANT CURRENT QUARTER EVENTS

 

On January 11, 2006, we engaged Compass International Consulting (“CIC”) to provide various marketing and investor relations services to us. We initially agreed to issue CIC 1,250,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire an additional 1,200,000 shares of our common stock as consideration for such services. However, CIC subsequently agreed to accept 1,200,000 shares of our common stock and such shares were issued on January 13, 2006. These shares were valued at $360,000, of which $77,918 was expensed as stock based consulting expense and $282,082 was recorded as deferred stock compensation in the accompanying March 31, 2006 financial statements. The term of this agreement is one year and it is cancelable by either party for cause. In addition, we have the right to renew the agreement for an additional twelve months under the same terms as discussed herein. No effect has been given to any stock based consulting expense that may be applicable as a result of warrants in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as they have not yet been issued nor has the price of such warrants been determined.

 

On January 13, 2006, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to our attorney as consideration for services. The shares had a value of approximately $45,000 on the date the agreement was reached and accordingly, such amount was expensed as stock based consulting expense in the accompanying March 31, 2006 financial statements.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we borrowed $194,000 under other convertible note agreements (including $150,000 owed to an entity affiliated with one of our joint venture partners) The notes, which were scheduled to mature at various times through July 2006, were converted to 1,649,167 shares of our common stock in January 2006. We granted these note holders piggyback registration rights and the shares of common stock were included in the registration statement related to the Note and Warrants, which became effective on February 9, 2006.

 

On March 3, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a customer to provide certain acquisition and management services relating to a celebrity endorsement campaign. We received 3,000,000 shares of the customer’s common stock and immediately gave 1,500,000 of those shares to the celebrity entertainer. The shares of stock received are restricted and the customer is a non-reporting, public entity. We valued the stock at $1,200,000 based on the estimated value of the services we are to provide, and initially deferred 100% of the revenues. The deferred revenues are being amortized to revenues using the straight line method over the 24 month term of the agreement as we believe that services we provide will be fairly consistent during such period.

 

NOTE G– OTHER SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On May 5, 2006, we closed a $550,000 funding agreement with the current holder of our previously issued Convertible Note and related Warrants. We agreed to (i) reprice the Series A-1 Warrants for 5,000,000 common shares from $.45 to $.001 and extend the term thereof for six (6) years; (ii) issue a new Series A-2 Warrant for 5,000,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term; (iii) reprice a placement agreement Warrant for 500,000 common shares originally with an exercise price of $.45 to $.001 with a six (6) year term; and (iv) issue a new placement agent Warrant for 500,000 common shares with an exercise price of $.30 with a six (6) year term. The net charge to operations as a result of the re-pricing agreement is expected to approximate $1,000,000.
