NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2008
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 six months ended June 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
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 six months ended
June 30, 2008, the Company recorded debt discounts totaling $2,951,869.
Amortization expense related to these costs and discounts were $677,498 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, including $592,809 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.
6
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
June 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 and accounts payable at June 30, 2008
approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance sheets due to the
short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value of due to related parties
cannot be determined due to lack of similar instruments available to the
Company.
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 loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
dividing net 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 176,236,000 and 1,636,000 warrants outstanding at June
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.

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 has notified the bank and has received a conditional waiver of
compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2008. The Company must 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 3rd
and 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,

On April
1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the former Hacketts
shareholders to amend the terms of the original loans relating to the purchase.
The amended agreement replaces three original notes payable with a $2,000,000
Convertible Debenture with $600,000 due December 30, 2008, $600,000 due December
30, 2009 and $800,000 due December 30, 2010, bearing interest at the rate of 8%
per annum. The note is convertible at 85% of the Average Closing Prices on the 5
trading days immediately preceding the holder's election to
convert.
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 June 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 the
unrealized gain on the derivative instrument created by this debenture was
$635,930.
On May
15, 2008 the Company issued a $50,000 convertible debenture to an individual for
financing provided. The debenture, due May 14, 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 Maker any time subsequent from the May 15, 2008.

NOTE
9 - ACQUISITIONS
North
Country Hospitality Inc.
On June
1, 2008 Seaway Valley Capital Corporation acquired all of the assets of North
Country Hospitality, Inc. (“NCHI”) by merging Harbor Acquisitions, LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NCHI, into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seaway Valley
Capital Corporation. The new subsidiary, which will operate under the
tradename “North Country Hospitality,” is a holding company with several
subsidiaries involved in the operation of hotels, restaurants and other
businesses in northern New York State. The acquisition was completed
under the terms of an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, which modified the
Merger Agreement described in the Current Report dated April 17,
2008.
In
exchange for the assets of NCHI, Seaway Valley Capital Corporation issued to
NCHI 1,050,000 shares of a newly designated Series D Preferred Stock issued by
Seaway Valley Capital Corporation. Each Series D Preferred share has
a liquidation preference of $5.00 (i.e. $5,250,000 in total). The
holder of Series D Preferred shares will be entitled to convert them into Seaway
Valley Capital Corporation common stock. The number of common shares
to be issued on conversion of a share of Series D Preferred Stock will equal the
$5.00 liquidation preference divided by 85% of the average closing bid price for
the common stock for the five days preceding conversion.
Seaway
Valley Capital Corporation also agreed that it will indemnify NCHI against
liability for any of the debts of Harbor Acquisitions, LLC, which included all
of the debts of NCHI as of the closing date.

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 relationship 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. 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

traditional Italian bakeries in the area. Alteri's produces the

Result
of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30,
2008 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2007
The
Company’s net sales increased to $4,682,455 for the three month period ended
June 30, 2008 from $0 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $4,682,455. 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
June 30, 2007 to $2,975,190 during the same period in 2008. This led to a
$1,707,265 increase in our gross margin to $1,707,265 for the three month period
ended June 30, 2008 from $0 for the three month period ended June 30,
2007.
Net
realized and unrealized loss on the sale of securities was $159,334 during the
three month period ended June 30, 2008 versus $0 for the same period ended June
30, 2007, an increase of $159,334.
Our
general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2008
were $3,372,259 versus $226,050 for the same period in 2007. The increase of
$3,146,209 was driven by the acquisitions of the Company’s operating
subsidiaries, WiseBuy, Hackett’s and North Country Hospitality.
Seaway
Valley Capital Corporation had an operating loss of $1,824,328 for the first
three months of fiscal 2008 versus a loss of $226,050 for the same period ended
June 30, 2007.
We
incurred a loss from continuing operations of $2,870,171 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $2,111,939 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 prior to the fourth quarter 2008 or the first quarter of
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 $100,881 during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
15
Net
losses for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $2,871,368and
$2,212,820, 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.
Six Months Ended June 30,
2008 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2007
The
Company’s net sales increased to $7,818,667 for the six month period ended June
30, 2008 from $0 for the six months ended ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$7,818,667. 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 six months of
2007 to $5,373,031 during the same period in 2008. This led to a $2,445,636
increase in our gross margin to $2,445,636 for fiscal period ended June 30, 2008
from $0 for fiscal period ended June 30, 2007.
Net
realized and unrealized loss on the sale of securities was $106,402 during the
period ended June 30, 2008 versus $0 for the same period ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $106,402.
Our
general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2008
were $5,654,721 versus $2,036,704 for the same period in 2007. The increase to
$3,618,017 was driven by the acquisitions of the Company’s operating
subsidiaries, WiseBuys and Hackett’s.
Seaway
Valley Capital Corporation had an operating loss of $3,315,487 for the first six
months of fiscal 2008 versus a loss of $2,036,704 for the same period ended June
30, 2007.
We
incurred a loss from continuing operations of $5,800,527 for the first six
months in fiscal 2008, compared to a loss of $4,906,048 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 prior to the fourth quarter 2008 or the first quarter of
2009.
On July

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
$2,129,031 during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Net
losses for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $5,801,724 and
$7,035,079, 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 June 30, 2008 balance
sheet in the aggregate amount of $14,226,383. The net amount of the convertible
debentures is reflected on our June 30, 2008 balance sheet in the aggregate
amount of $4,783,883.
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. to satisfy its
Promissory Note asset of $1.1 million during 2008.
As a
result, we have the capital resources necessary to carry on operations for the
next period, despite continuing losses. 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.
16
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
7,362,992,498 shares based on the market price on June 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 is 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 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.
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.
17
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.
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.
18
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.
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.
19
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.
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.

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 second fiscal quarter that has materially affected
or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
