SEAWAY VALLEY CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. When reading the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report, reference should be made to the financial statements, schedule and notes contained in the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 2- GOING CONCERN
 
The financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern, which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has generated revenues of $13.5 million but has incurred a net loss of approximately $2.68 million. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving sales growth, reduction of operation expenses and ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, and upon profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through an increase of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company's ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that these plans for additional financing will be successful. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require the Company to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company's common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and may require the Company to relinquish valuable rights.
 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Deferred Financing Fees and Debt Discounts

Deferred finance costs represent costs which may include direct costs paid to or warrants issued to third parties in order to obtain long-term financing and have been reflected as other assets. Costs incurred with parties who are providing the actual long-term financing, which generally may  include  the value of warrants,  fair value of the  derivative  conversion  feature,  or the intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features associated with the underlying debt, are reflected as a debt discount.  These costs and discounts are generally amortized over the life of the related debt.  In connection with debt issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded debt discounts totaling $3,132,382. Amortization expense related to these costs and discounts were $1,100,947 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, including $964,148 in debt discount amortization included in interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" require all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The embedded derivatives are separately valued and accounted for on our balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At September 30, 2008, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
 
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, long term debt, line of credit, convertible debt and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and debt instruments at September 30, 2008 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments. Fair value of due to related parties cannot be determined due to lack of similar instruments available to the Company.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted for income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares from contracts that may be settled in stock or cash by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The Company had 35,247,200 and 327,200 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The inclusion of the warrants and potential common shares to be issued in connection with convertible debt have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted loss per share because under the treasury stock method the average market price of the Company's common stock was less than the exercise prices of the warrants, and therefore they are not included in the calculation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT
 
On March 4, 2008, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WiseBuys Stores, Inc. and Patrick Hackett Hardware Company (collectively "Seaway" or the "Company"), consummated a five million dollar ($5,000,000) credit and security agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division (the "Line of Credit"). The funds available under Line of Credit are based on the Company's current inventory with adjustments based on items such as accounts payable. The term of the Line of Credit is three years. The interest rate on the Line of Credit is equal to the sum of the Wells Fargo prime rate plus one and one-quarter percent (1.25%), which interest rate shall change when and as the Wells Fargo prime rate changes. These funds will be used for general working capital at the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the subsidiaries are required to maintain certain financial covenants including tangible net worth, net income and net cash flow amounts. At June 30, 2008 these covenants were not met. The Company notified the bank and received a conditional waiver. The Company was required to meet the terms of the conditional waiver as follows:
 
 
·
The base borrowing rate will increase by 3% to Prime + 4.25% from Prime + 1.25%. The difference between the rate as of April 1 (Prime + 1.25%) and the rate as of the date of the closing of the waiver (Prime + 4.25%) will be accrued and charged upon the last installment of the required $860,000 of capital funds (see below).
 
·
Rate will be reset to a level to be determined based upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
 
o
Provide $75,000 of capital immediately to satisfy conditions of the 1st quarter waiver.
 
o
Prepare revised monthly projections for the 4th quarter 2008 (subject to WFBC review)
 
o
Provide $860,000 of capital by October 31, 2008, as follows:
 
§
$200,000 by August 31, 2008,
 
§
$150,000 by September 15, 2008,
 
§
$150,000 by September 30, 2008,
 
§
$360,000 by October 31, 2008.
 
o
Pay $20,000 fee.

As of September 30, 2008, some of the above terms had not yet been met. Specifically, the Company has raised additional capital of approximately $620,000, which is $315,000 below the $935,000 required above. As a result of the foregoing, the Company was not in compliance of the debt agreement at September 30, 2008. Due to the default, certain other long term obligations that may be callable by the holders have been classified as current in the accompanying financial statements.

On July 11, 2008 the Company issued a $100,000 convertible 8% debenture to an individual for financing provided.  The debenture, due July 10, 2013, is convertible into common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.004 per share; (b) the amount of this note to be converted divided by 75% of the closing market price of the Maker’s common stock for the day prior to the date of the exercise of such conversion right; or (c) the lowest per share price of any common stock issued by the Company any time subsequent to the date of the note. Interest is payable in shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the convertible debenture represents an embedded derivative since the debenture is convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the assumed convertible debentures are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. The embedded derivative feature created by the variable conversion meets the criteria of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and should be accounted for as a separate derivative. At September 30, 2008 the fair value of the conversion derivative liability created by the assumed debentures calculated using the Black-Scholes model was $0. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 the unrealized gain on the derivative instrument created by this debenture was $26,667.
 
On August 1, 2008 the Company issued two convertible debentures totaling $457,174 to two individuals for financing provided.  The debentures, due July 31, 2013, are convertible into common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $0.0025 per share; (b) the amount of these notes to be converted divided by 75% of the closing market price of the Maker’s common stock for the day prior to the date of the exercise of such conversion right; or (c) the lowest per share price of any common stock issued by the Company any time subsequent to the date of the note.

OVERVIEW
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation is a venture capital and leveraged buyout investment company that focuses primarily on equity and equity-related investments in companies that require expansion capital and in companies pursuing acquisition strategies. Seaway Valley will consider investment opportunities in a number of different industries, including retail, consumer products, restaurants, media, business services, and manufacturing. The Company will also consider select technology investments.  Returns are intended to be in the form of the eventual share appreciation and dispossession of those equity stakes and income from loans made to businesses.
 
RETAIL HOLDINGS
 
On October 23, 2007, Seaway Valley acquired all of the capital stock of WiseBuys Stores, Inc.  WiseBuys was organized in 2003 and owned and operated five retail stores in central and northern New York.  On November 7, 2007, Seaway Valley purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Patrick Hackett Hardware Company, a New York corporation.  Hackett’s, one of the nation’s oldest retailers, with roots dating back to 1830, is a full line department store specializing in premium, name brand merchandise and full service hardware.  At the time of the acquisition, Hackett’s had locations in five towns in upstate New York.  Each store features brand name clothing for men, women, and children, and a large selection of athletic, casual, and work footwear.  Hackett’s also carries domestics, home décor, gifts, seasonal merchandise and sporting goods.  Hackett’s full service hardware department features traditional hardware, tool, plumbing, paint and electrical departments. WiseBuys will contribute its retail assets to Hackett’s, and management intends to convert the five WiseBuys stores into the Hackett’s brand stores.  After the store conversions and one closure and one new store, the Company will operate ten Hackett’s locations - Canton, Gouverneur, Hamilton, Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Pulaski, Sackets Harbor, Tupper Lake, and Watertown – all in New York.   
 
Hackett’s maintains strong vendor relationships with some of the industry’s premier clothing providers including: The North Face, Carhartt, Patagonia, Levi’s, Columbia, Woolrich and many other similar companies.  These brands command premium prices and maintain strong customer loyalty in the marketplace based on years of consumer preference based on both style and the quality of the merchandise.  Hackett’s also carries premier footwear from providers including Nike, Asics, New Balance, Red Wing, Georgia Boot, Crocs, and Timberland.  These brands also command premium prices in the marketplace based on years of consumer preference based on both style and the quality of the merchandise.
 
Hackett’s, which in 2007 operated five stores with approximately 138,000 square feet of retail sales floor, averaged sales per square foot of approximately $108.18 for the year.  After taking over the WiseBuys stores in 2008 and with the Sackets Harbor new store openings, Hackett’s will operate locations with total sales floor square footage of 326,700 square feet.   
 
We expect Hackett’s to transition each former WiseBuys store throughout 2008 and 2009.  Seaway Valley will continue to financially and operationally support Hackett’s, whether through company or asset acquisitions or general expansion.
 
HOSPITALITY HOLDINGS
 
On June 1, 2008, Seaway Valley acquired the assets and companies of North Country Hospitality, Inc.  “North Country” was formed in 2005 and acquired and developed hospitality assets such as restaurants, lodging and other consumer product companies in northern New York.   At the time of the acquisition, North Country owned the following businesses:
 
Alteri Bakery
 
Alteri Bakery has serviced the North Country region with quality baked goods since 1971.  Alteri’s is located in a state of the art baking facility in the heart of Watertown’s business district, and is one of the last traditional Italian bakeries in the area.  Alteri's produces the area’s only "true" Italian breads and specialty pastry items, such as cakes, cookies, muffins, bagels, and specialty gift baskets.  Alteri’s products can be found at local restaurants, grocery stores, schools, and its own store.  In addition, Alteri’s recently assumed the production of sub rolls for the entire Jreck Subs franchise chain of 47 locations, which alone includes approximately two million five hundred thousand rolls baked and shipped annually.

Result of Operations
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
 
The Company’s net sales increased to $5,715,048 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 from $0 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $5,715,048.  The increase in sales was the result of the acquisition of WiseBuys, Hackett’s and North Country Hospitality which took place on October 23, 2007, November 7, 2007 and June 1, 2008, respectively.  
 
The Company’s cost of goods sold also increased from $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $3,580,699 during the same period in 2008. This led to a $2,134,349 increase in our gross margin to $2,134,349 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 from $0 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007.
 
Net realized and unrealized loss on the sale of securities was $154 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008 versus $0 for the same period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $154.
 
Our general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $3,623,187 versus $0 for the same period in 2007. The increase of $3,623,187 was driven by the acquisitions of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, WiseBuys, Hackett’s and North Country Hospitality.
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation had an operating loss of $1,488,992 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 versus $0 for the same period ended September 30, 2007. This is related to the fact that the Company had no operations in the third quarter of 2007 while it had a full three months of operations in 2008.
 
We recognized income from continuing operations of $3,121,026 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a net income of $3,283,609 for the same period in 2007.  The primary driver of the 2008 income was a non-cash unrealized gain on derivative instruments. That gain more than offset our increase in SG&A expenses, the expenses associated with the conversion of WiseBuys stores to Hackett’s stores, and the loss of potential revenues while these stores are being converted.  Management feels that these conversions will be completed in 2009.
 
On July 1, 2007, when Seaway Capital, Inc. acquired control of the Company from GreenShift Corporation, the Company sold its operating businesses to GS CleanTech Corporation, an affiliate of GreenShift, in return for the assumption by GS CleanTech of a $1,125,000 convertible debenture owed by the Company.  These operations – considered “discontinued operations” - resulted in a gain of $2,234,974 during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Net income for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were $3,119,087 and $5,518,583, respectively.  The primary drivers for the income were a gain on the disposal discontinued operations of $2,234,974 in 2007 and the non-cash recognition of an unrealized gain on derivative instruments in 2008. The gain in 2008 more than offset the expenses relating to the increased overhead associated with Hackett’s, the expenses related to the WiseBuys store conversions, and the reduced sales revenues suffered during store conversions.
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
 
The Company’s net sales increased to $13,533,715 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 from $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $13,533,715.  The increase in sales was the result of the acquisition of WiseBuys, Hackett’s and North Country Hospitality, which took place on October 23, 2007 and November 7, 2007, respectively.  
 
The Company’s cost of goods sold also increased from $0 for the first nine months of 2007 to $8,953,729 during the same period in 2008. This led to a $4,579,986 increase in our gross margin to $4,579,986 for fiscal period ended September 30, 2008 from $0 for fiscal period ended September 30, 2007.
 
Net realized and unrealized loss on the sale of securities was $106,556 during the period ended September 30, 2008 versus $0 for the same period ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $106,556.
 
Our general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $9,277,908 versus $2,036,704 for the same period in 2007. The increase to $7,096,204 was driven by the acquisitions of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, WiseBuys and Hackett’s.
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation had an operating loss of $4,804,478 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 versus a loss of $2,036,704 for the same period ended September 30, 2007.
 
We incurred a loss from continuing operations of $2,679,501 for the first nine months in fiscal 2008, compared to a loss of $1,909,785 for the same period in 2007.  The primary drivers of the 2008 loss were the increases in SG&A expenses, the expenses associated with the conversion of WiseBuys stores to Hackett’s stores, and the loss of potential revenues while these stores are being converted.  Management feels that these conversions will be completed in 2009.
 
On July 1, 2007, when Seaway Capital, Inc. acquired control of the Company from GreenShift Corporation, the Company sold its operating businesses to GS CleanTech Corporation, an affiliate of GreenShift, in return for the assumption by GS CleanTech of a $1,125,000 convertible debenture owed by the Company.  These operations – considered “discontinued operations” - resulted in a loss of $2,013,836 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Net losses for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were $2,682,636 and $3,923,621, respectively.  The primary drivers for the losses in 2008 were expenses relating to the increased overhead associated with Hackett’s, the expenses related to the WiseBuys store conversions, and the reduced sales revenues suffered during store conversions.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our operations have been funded to date primarily by loans (both bank loans and more recently convertible debentures), contributions by our founders and their associates, and profitable securities sales at Seaway Valley Fund, LLC.  The net amount of the bank loans is reflected on our September 30, 2008 balance sheet in the aggregate amount of $12,926,642. The net amount of the convertible debentures is reflected on our September 30, 2008 balance sheet in the aggregate amount of $5,464,017.  
 
As a result, to increase the Company’s liquidity and to help fund operations, the Company secured a $5 million inventory-based line of credit from Wells Fargo in March 2008.  Concurrently, YA Global Investments, LP acquired over $2.249 million of the Company’s legacy senior bank debt, most of which was due at that time.  The purchase and exchange of this debt into convertible debentures by YA Global materially lowered that Company’s immediate cash needs by $2.249 million and also allowed the Company to maintain significantly more available capital under the Wells Fargo line of credit.  In addition, the Company expects to receive capital from Golden Gate Investors, Inc. and JMJ Financial to satisfy its Promissory Note asset of $2.125 million during 2008 and 2009.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the Company was in breach of certain loan covenants of the Wells Fargo line of credit.  As a result conditional terms were outlined by Wells Fargo, and to date certain of those conditional terms had not yet been met.  Specifically, the Company has raised additional capital of approximately $620,000, which is $315,000 below the $935,000 required by Wells Fargo.  Although the Company continues to seek out additional capital, no guarantee can be made of our ultimate success in doing so.  As a result of the foregoing, the Company was not in compliance of the debt agreement at September 30, 2008.  Due to the default, certain other long term obligations that may be callable by the holders have been classified as current in the accompanying financial statements.
 
We have the capital resources necessary to carry on operations for the next period, despite continuing losses and the line of credit covenant breach.  In order to implement our revised business plan, however, we will need substantial additional capital, including the funds associated with any of the Company’s notes receivable outstanding.
 
The Company expects to fund its operations and capital expenditures from internally generated funds as well as additional outside capital, which may come in the form of equity or debt.  Management believes that its existing cash balances will be sufficient to meet its short term working capital, capital expenditures, and investment requirements for at least the next 6 to 12 months. Hackett’s or the Company may require additional funds for other purposes, such as acquisitions of complementary businesses, and may seek to raise such additional funds through public and private equity financings or from other sources. However, management cannot assure you that additional financing will be available at all or that, if available, such financing will be obtainable on terms favorable to us or that any additional financing will not be dilutive.

BUSINESS RISK FACTORS
 
There are many important factors that have affected, and in the future could affect, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation's business, including but not limited to the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond our control and future trends are difficult to predict.
 
The issuance of shares under our convertible debentures agreements could increase the total common shares outstanding significantly.
 
The holders of the debentures could convert such debentures into approximately 12,487,714,741 shares based on the market price on September 30, 2008. Such issuances would reduce the percentage of ownership of our existing common stockholders. This result could detrimentally affect our ability to raise additional equity capital. In addition, the sale of these additional shares of common stock may cause the market price of our stock to decrease.
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation is not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the next few years.
 
Delaware corporation law provides that members of the board of directors retain authority to act until they are removed or replaced at a meeting of the shareholders. A shareholder may petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to direct that a shareholders meeting be held. But absent such a legal action, the board has no obligation to call a shareholders meeting. Unless a shareholders meeting is held, the existing directors elect directors to fill any vacancy that occurs on the board of directors. The shareholders, therefore, have no control over the constitution of the board of directors, unless a shareholders meeting is held. Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the next few years, due to the expense involved. Thomas Scozzafava, who is currently the sole director of
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation, was appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that Mr. Scozzafava will appoint them. As a result, the shareholders of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation will have no effective means of exercising control over the operations of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation.
 
Investing in our stock is highly speculative and you could lose some or all of your investment.
 
The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies generally and very small capitalization companies such as us in particular.
 
The volatility of the market for Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a fair price for his shares.
 
The common stock of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is impossible to say that the market price on any given day reflects the fair value of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation, since the price sometimes moves up or down by 50% or more in a week's time. A shareholder in Seaway Valley Capital Corporation who wants to sell his shares, therefore, runs the risk that at the time he wants to sell, the market price may be much less than the price he would consider to be fair.

The absence of independent directors on our board of directors may limit the quality of management decision making.

Tom Scozzafava, Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Swartz, Chief Operating Officer, are the only member of our Board of Directors. There is no audit committee of the board and no compensation committee. This situation means that Mr. Scozzafava and Mr. Swartz will determine the direction of our company without the benefit of an objective perspective and without the contribution of insights from outside observers.  This may limit the quality of the decisions that are made.  In addition, the absence of independent directors in the determination of compensation may result in the payment of inappropriate levels of compensation.
 
Our common stock qualifies as a "penny stock" under SEC rules which may make it more difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares of our common stock.
 
Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations concerning the market value of the stock. Stockholders also may experience greater difficulties in attempting to sell the stock than if it were listed on a stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market. Because our common stock does not trade on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market, and the market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock qualifies as a "penny stock." SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the 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 on the appropriateness of investments in penny stocks for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customer concerning the risks of penny stocks. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock affects the market liquidity of the shares, which in turn may affect the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the stock.
 
 
16

 
 
Only a small portion of the investment community will purchase "penny stocks" such as our common stock.
 
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock is defined by the SEC as a "penny stock" because it trades at a price less than $5.00 per share. Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock also meets most common definitions of a "penny stock," since it trades for less than $1.00 per share. Many brokerage firms will discourage their customers from purchasing penny stocks, and even more brokerage firms will not recommend a penny stock to their customers. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not consider a purchase of a penny stock due, among other things, to the negative reputation that attends the penny stock market. As a result of this widespread disdain for penny stocks, there will be a limited market for Seaway Valley Capital Corporation common stock as long as it remains a "penny stock." This situation may limit the liquidity of your shares.
 
Hackett’s growth strategy of new store openings and acquisitions could create challenges Hackett’s may not be able to adequately meet.  
 
Hackett’s intends to continue to pursue growth for the foreseeable future, and to evolve existing business to promote growth.  Hackett’s future operating results will depend largely upon its ability to open and operate stores successfully and to profitably manage a larger business. Operation of a greater number of new stores, moving or expanding store locations and expansion into new markets may present competitive and merchandising challenges that are different from those currently encountered by Hackett’s in existing stores and markets. There can be no assurance that Hackett’s expansion will not adversely affect the individual financial performance of its existing stores or the overall results of operations.  Further, as the number of stores increases, Hackett’s may face risks associated with market saturation of its products and concepts. Finally, there can be no assurance that Hackett’s will successfully achieve expansion targets or, if achieved, that planned expansion will result in profitable operations.
 
This growth strategy requires improving Hackett’s operations, and Hackett’s may not be able to do this sufficiently to effectively prevent negative impact on its business and financial results.   
 
In order to manage Hackett’s planned expansion, among other things, Hackett’s will need to locate suitable store sites, negotiate acceptable lease terms, obtain or maintain adequate capital resources on acceptable terms, source sufficient levels of inventory, hire and train store managers and sales associates, integrate new stores into existing operations and maintain adequate distribution center space and information technology and other operations systems.  If Hackett’s is unable to accomplish all of these tasks in a cost-effective manner, its business plan will not be successful.
 
Hackett’s needs to continually evaluate the adequacy of its management information and distribution systems.
 
Implementing new systems and changes made to existing systems could present challenges management does not anticipate and could negatively impact Hackett’s business. Hackett’s management cannot anticipate all of the changing demands that expanding and changing operations will impose on business, systems and procedures, and the failure to adapt to such changing demands could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and financial condition. Failure to timely implement initiatives necessary to support expanding and changing operations could materially impact business.
 
The success of Hackett’s business depends on establishing and maintaining good relationships with mall operators and developers, and problems with those relationships could make it more difficult for Hackett’s to expand to certain sites or offer certain products.  
 
Any restrictions on Hackett’s ability to expand to new store sites, remodel or relocate stores where management feels it necessary or to offer a broad assortment of merchandise could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition. If relations with mall operators or developers become strained, or Hackett’s otherwise encounters difficulties in leasing store sites, Hackett’s may not grow as planned and may not reach certain revenue levels and other operating targets.  Risks associated with these relationships are more acute given recent consolidation in the retail store industry, and Hackett’s has seen certain increases in expenses as a result of such consolidation that could continue.
 
If Hackett’s fails to offer a broad selection of products and brands that customers find attractive, Hackett’s revenues could decrease.  
 
In order to meet its strategic goals, Hackett’s must successfully offer, on a continuous basis, a broad selection of appealing products that reflect customers’ preferences. Consumer tastes are subject to frequent, significant and sometimes unpredictable changes. To be successful in Hackett’s line of business, product offerings must be broad and deep in scope and affordable to a wide range of consumers whose preferences may change regularly. Management cannot predict with certainty that Hackett’s will be successful in offering products that meet these requirements. If Hackett’s product offerings fail to satisfy customers’ tastes or respond to changes in customer preferences, revenues could decline. In addition, any failure to offer products that satisfy customers’ preferences could allow competitors to gain market share.
 
Hackett’s comparable store sales are subject to fluctuation resulting from factors within and outside Hackett’s control, and lower than expected comparable store sales could impact business and Seaway’s stock price.  
 
A variety of factors affects comparable store sales including, among others, the timing of new product releases and fashion trends; the general retail sales environment and the effect of the overall economic environment; Hackett’s ability to efficiently source and distribute products; changes in Hackett’s merchandise mix; ability to attain exclusivity and certain related licenses; competition from other retailers; opening of new stores in existing markets and Hackett’s ability to execute its business strategy efficiently. To date, Hackett’s comparable store sales results have fluctuated significantly in the past, and management believes that such fluctuations will continue.
 
 
17

 
 
Economic conditions could change in ways that reduce Hackett’s sales or increase Hackett’s expenses.
 
Certain economic conditions affect the level of consumer spending on merchandise Hackett’s offers, including, among others, employment levels, salary and wage levels, interest rates, taxation and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Hackett’s is also dependent upon the continued popularity of malls and strip malls as a shopping destination, the ability of other mall tenants and other attractions to generate customer traffic and the development of new malls. A slowdown in the United States economy or an uncertain economic outlook could lower consumer spending levels and cause a decrease in mall traffic or new mall development, each of which would adversely affect growth, sales results and financial performance.
 
Changes in laws, including employment laws and laws related to Hackett’s merchandise, could make conducting Hackett’s business more expensive or change the way Hackett’s does business.
 
In addition to increased regulatory compliance requirements, changes in laws could make ordinary conduct of Hackett’s business more expensive or require Hackett’s to change the way it does business.  For example, changes in federal and state minimum wage laws could raise the wage requirements for certain of Hackett’s associates, which would likely cause management to reexamine Hackett’s entire wage structure for stores. Other laws related to employee benefits and treatment of employees, and privacy, could also negatively impact Hackett’s such as by increasing benefits costs like medical expenses. Moreover, changes in product safety or other consumer protection laws could lead to increased costs for certain merchandise, or additional labor costs associated with readying merchandise for sale. It is often difficult to plan and prepare for potential changes to applicable laws.
 
Timing and seasonal issues could negatively impact Hackett’s financial performance for given periods.
 
Hackett’s quarterly results of operations fluctuate materially depending on, among other things, the timing of store openings and related pre-opening and other startup expenses, net sales contributed by new stores, increases or decreases in comparable store sales, releases of new products ,and shifts in timing of certain holidays, changes in merchandise mix and overall economic and political conditions.  Hackett’s business is also subject to seasonal influences, with heavier concentrations of sales during the back-to-school, Halloween and holiday (defined as the week of Thanksgiving through the first few days of January) seasons and other periods when schools are not in session. The holiday season has historically been the single most important selling season. Management believes that in the locations where its stores are located, the importance of the summer vacation and back-to-school seasons and to a lesser extent, the spring break season as well as Halloween, all reduce the dependence on the holiday selling season, but this will not always be the case to the same degree. As is the case with many retailers of apparel, accessories and related merchandise, Hackett’s typically experiences lower net sales in the first fiscal quarter relative to other quarters.
 
Hackett’s has many important vendor and license partner relationships, and Hackett’s ability to obtain merchandise or provide it through license agreements could be hurt by changes in those relationships, and events harmful to Hackett’s vendors or license partners could impact results of operations.
 
Hackett’s financial performance depends on Hackett’s ability to purchase desired merchandise in sufficient quantities at competitive prices. Although Hackett’s has many sources of merchandise, substantially all of Hackett’s music/pop culture-licensed products are available only from vendors that have exclusive license rights. In addition, small, specialized vendors, some of which create unique products primarily for us, supply certain of Hackett’s products. Hackett’s smaller vendors generally have limited resources, production capacities and operating histories and some of Hackett’s vendors have restricted the distribution of their merchandise in the past. Hackett’s generally has no long-term purchase contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply, pricing or access to new products. There can be no assurance that Hackett’s will be able to acquire desired merchandise in sufficient quantities on acceptable terms in the future. Any inability to acquire suitable merchandise, or the loss of one or more key vendors, may have a material adverse effect on Hackett’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Competitors’ Internet sales could hinder Hackett’s overall financial performance.
 
Hackett’s sells merchandise that also can be purchased over the Internet through the other retail websites. Hackett’s Internet operations do not yet include commerce, and not having such operations could pose risks to Hackett’s overall business.
 
Hackett’s is dependent for success on a few key executive officers. Its inability to retain those officers would impede its business plan and growth strategies, which would have a negative impact on business and the potential value of any investment in Seaway.   Loss of key people or an inability to hire necessary and significant personnel could hurt Hackett’s business.
 
Hackett’s performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of senior management. The sudden loss of either’s services or the services of other members of Hackett’s management team could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Mr. Scozzafava or the existing Hackett’s management team will be able to manage growth or be able to attract and retain additional qualified personnel as needed in the future.  Hackett’s can give no assurance that it can find satisfactory replacements for these key executive officers at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome to Hackett’s.  Although Hackett’s intends to issue stock options or other equity-based compensation to attract and retain employees, such incentives may not be sufficient to attract and retain key personnel.
 
 
18

 

There is a risk Hackett’s could acquire merchandise without full rights to sell it, which could lead to disputes or litigation and hurt Hackett’s financial performance and stock price.  
 
Hackett’s and its partners purchase licensed merchandise from a number of suppliers who hold manufacturing and distribution rights under the terms of certain licenses. Hackett’s generally rely upon vendors’ representations concerning manufacturing and distribution rights and do not independently verify whether these vendors legally hold adequate rights to licensed properties they are manufacturing or distributing. If Hackett’s or its partners acquire unlicensed merchandise, Hackett’s could be obligated to remove such merchandise from stores, incur costs associated with destruction of merchandise if the distributor is unwilling or unable to reimburse Hackett’s, and be subject to liability under various civil and criminal causes of action, including actions to recover unpaid royalties and other damages. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Hackett’s faces intense competition, including competition from companies with significantly greater resources than Hackett’s.  If Hackett’s is unable to compete effectively with these companies, Hackett’s market share may decline and its business could be harmed.
 
The retail industry is highly competitive with numerous competitors, many of whom are well-established. Most of Hackett’s competitors have significantly greater financial, technological, managerial, marketing and distribution resources than does Hackett’s. Their greater capabilities in these areas may enable them to compete more effectively on the basis of price and more quickly offer new products. In addition, new companies may enter the markets in which Hackett’s competes, further increasing competition in the industry. Hackett’s may not be able to compete successfully in the future, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows that are sufficient to maintain or expand the number of Hackett’s stores, which would adversely impact the trading price of Seaway’s common shares.
 
Hackett’s future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of Seaway’s common stock to decline.  
 
Hackett’s expects that Hackett’s revenues and operating results will continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to various factors, many of which are beyond Hackett’s control. The factors that could cause Hackett’s operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:
 
 
·
seasonality of the business;
 
 
·
price competition from other retailers;
 
 
·
general price increases by suppliers and manufacturers;
 
 
·
Hackett’s ability to maintain and expand Hackett’s distribution relationships;
 
 
·
increases in the cost of advertising;
 
 
·
unexpected increases in shipping costs or delivery times;
 
 
·
Hackett’s ability to build and maintain customer loyalty;
 
 
·
the introduction of new services, products and strategic alliances by us and Hackett’s competitors;
 
 
·
the success of Hackett’s brand-building and marketing campaigns;
 
 
·
government regulations, changes in tariffs, duties, and taxes;
 
 
·
Hackett’s ability to maintain, upgrade and develop Hackett’s retail stores;
 
 
·
changes in Hackett’s store leasing costs;
 
 
·
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of Hackett’s business, operations and infrastructure; and
 
 
·
general economic conditions as well as economic conditions specific to the retail sector.
 
If Hackett’s revenues or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of Seaway Valley Capital Corporation’s common stock could significantly decline.

 
19

 
 
Hackett’s growth and operating results could be impaired if it is unable to meet its future capital needs.   
 
Hackett’s may need to raise additional capital in the future to:
 
 
·
fund more rapid expansion;
 
 
·
acquire or expand into new retail locations, warehousing facilities or office space;
 
 
·
maintain, enhance and further develop Hackett’s information technology systems;
 
 
·
develop new product categories or enhanced services;
 
 
·
fund acquisitions; or
 
 
·
respond to competitive pressures.
 
If Hackett’s raises additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of stockholders will be diluted. Furthermore, any new securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the common stock. Hackett’s currently does not have any commitments for additional financing. Hackett’s cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when and to the extent required or that, if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, Hackett’s may not be able to fund its expansion, develop or enhance Hackett’s products or services or respond to competitive pressures.
 
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not Applicable
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in and supervised the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, these controls and procedures are adequate and effective in alerting him in a timely manner to material information relating to the Company that are required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.
 
There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
