Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

 

Note 1                    Nature of Operations

The operations of Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. (“AVRS” or the “Company”) commenced in 1994 with a predecessor entity called NCC, Inc. NCC, Inc. was incorporated on March 15, 1994 in the State of Ohio. NCC, Inc. operated as a software and hardware development company that marketed voice recognition and transcription products for commercial applications.

In May 2000, WG Investments, LLC acquired the assets of NCC, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to NCC, LLC. NCC, LLC (also a predecessor to AVRS) continued the operations of NCC, Inc. until approximately December 31, 2001, when shifts in the industry’s markets caused NCC, LLC to suspend its operations.

AVRS was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 7, 2005. In September 2005, the members of NCC, LLC transferred all of their membership interests in NCC, LLC to AVRS in exchange for 93,333,333 shares (post-recapitalization) of AVRS common stock. In December 2005, the Board of Directors approved a 1.5-to-1 stock split issuing 46,666,667 common shares (post-recapitalization), which increased the number of common shares outstanding to 140,000,000 shares (post-capitalization). Following the incorporation of AVRS, the Company initiated a new business plan and intends to continue its operations in the voice recognition and transcription industry.

AVRS specializes in creating interface and application solutions for speech recognition technologies. AVRS has successfully obtained patent protection of its proprietary technology (refer to Note 3, Intangible Assets). The Company is focusing its technologies for the medical profession because of the profession’s present extensive use of dictation and its need for multiple applications of speech recognition technology in the generation of reports, documents and medical bills.

The Company is a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company has been in the development stage since inception.

Stock Exchange Agreement

On April 28, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Samoyed Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Samoyed”), which resulted in a reverse acquisition.

The Stock Exchange Agreement provided for the reorganization of AVRS with Samoyed. In connection with the Stock Exchange Agreement, Samoyed acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AVRS in exchange for 140,000,000 shares of Samoyed’s common stock. At the closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement, the former shareholders of AVRS owned approximately 85% of the outstanding common stock of Samoyed, resulting in a change in control.

For accounting purposes, this acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of AVRS, with Samoyed the legal surviving entity. Since Samoyed had, prior to the recapitalization, minimal assets and limited operations, the recapitalization has been accounted for as the sale of 24,700,008 shares of AVRS common stock for the net liabilities of Samoyed. Therefore, the historical financial information prior to the date of the recapitalization is the financial information of AVRS. Costs of the transaction have been charged to the period in which they are incurred.

On May 19, 2008, pursuant to the Stock Exchange Agreement, the Company’s shareholders exchanged with, and transferred to Samoyed, all of the issued and outstanding shares of their capital stock. In exchange, Samoyed exchanged with, and issued to, the Company’s shareholders 85% (140,000,000 shares) of Samoyed’s common stock. In connection with the closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement:

 

	•	A shareholder of Samoyed holding an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of Samoyed’s common stock agreed to pay to Samoyed an amount equal to $1,750,000 within 90 days of the closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement, or in the alternative, tender to Samoyed for cancellation two shares of Samoyed’s common stock for every $1 not paid. On September 29, 2008, the Company and the shareholder agreed to modify this arrangement to provide that the shareholder would deliver to the Company an aggregate of $1,400,000 on or before November 15, 2008, or in the alternative, tender to the Company for cancellation two and one-half shares (2 ½) of the Company’s common stock for every $1 not paid.  On January 13, 2009, the Company and the shareholder agreed to further modify this arrangement such that the shareholder is required to deliver to the Company an aggregate of $875,000 on or before March 31, 2009 or in the alternative tender to the Company for cancellation four shares of the Company’s stock for every $1 not paid. As of March 31, 2009, the shareholder has paid $15,210 and has not tendered any of the shares of the Company’s common stock held by him for cancellation.   The Company expects to extend the agreement.
	•	Certain shareholders of Samoyed holding shares of Samoyed’s common stock agreed that, commencing on the date the Stock Exchange Agreement closed, and ending on a date one year later, the shareholders will not, without the written consent of Samoyed, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, hedge, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, certain of their shares of Samoyed’s common stock owned directly by them, or with respect to which they have beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of  those shares of Samoyed’s common stock owned directly by them, or with respect to which they have beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stock Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a Purchase Agreement dated September 24, 2008 with Lion Share Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, pursuant to which Lion Share made a promissory note to the Company in the amount of $5,000,000 in exchange for 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Lion Share is required to pay the principal amount of the promissory note, together with all interest thereon in three installments. Lion Share pledged to the Company the shares of common stock issued to it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as collateral to secure Lion Share’s satisfaction of its obligations under the promissory note. Portions of the shares of common stock pledged as collateral are to be released to Lion Share Capital upon the Company’s receipt of the periodic principal and interest payments. As of March 31, 2009, no funds have been received from Lion Share Capital, and the 16,000,000 shares remain held by the Company.  Lion Share Capital has informed the Company that it intends to make a payment to the Company, but there is no assurance that this will occur.  The 16,000,000 shares are not considered outstanding for financial statement purposes at March 31, 2009. 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On March 25, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement and Plan of Merger”) with its wholly-owned subsidiary, NCC, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, whereby NCC, LLC merged with and into the Company pursuant to Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Business Corporations Act. Upon consummation of the Agreement and Plan of Merger: (i) NCC, LLC ceased to exist; (ii) the Company’s member interests in NCC, LLC automatically were canceled or retired and ceased to exist, without any consideration delivered in exchange thereof; (iii) the title to all estate, property rights privileges, powers and franchise assets and/or other rights owned by NCC, LLC became vested in the Company without reversion or impairment; and (iv) all liabilities of any kind of NCC, LLC became vested in the Company.

 

Note 2                    Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying financial information as of March 31, 2009 and for the three months and ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from March 15, 1994 (inception) through March 31, 2009, is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2009 and its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from March 15, 1994 (inception) through March 31, 2009, have been made.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 is not necessarily an indication of the results to be expected for the year.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is a development stage enterprise with losses since inception and a net capital deficit. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for reasonable period of time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s president has loaned or advanced the Company funds for working capital on an “as needed” basis.  There is no assurance that these loans or advances will continue in the future. As a condition to closing the Stock Exchange Agreement with Samoyed on May 19, 2008, the Company and one of its shareholders agreed that the shareholder would provide funds to the Company, or in the alternative, tender certain of his shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation.  On September 25, 2008 the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Lion Share Capital, LLC to provide funding for its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining substantial funding either from this shareholder or from Lion Share Capital.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2009 of $4,655 and at December 31, 2008 of $2,627.

6

---

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

Fixed assets consist of the following:

Depreciation expense totaled $341 and $-0-, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

7

---

Patents, Deferred Costs and Amortization

Patents consist of costs incurred to acquire issued patents. Amortization commences once a patent is granted. Costs incurred to acquire patents that have not been issued are reported as deferred costs. If a patent application is denied or expires, the costs incurred are charged to operations in the year the application is denied or expires. The Company amortizes its patent over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Amortization expense totaled $1,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

 

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Statement No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

Loss per Common Share

The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Note 3                    Intangible Assets

 

Intangible Assets

On November 13, 1995, the Company filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which was granted on September 28, 1999 as patent #5,960,447, “Word Tagging and Editing system for Speech Recognition”. In accordance with 35 USC 154, the term for the above referenced patent shall be for a period beginning on the date on which the patent issues and ending 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States. The above referenced U.S. Patent will expire on November 13, 2015.

The Company monitors the anticipated outcome of legal actions, and if it determines that the success of the defense of a patent is probable, and so long as the Company believes that the future economic benefit of the patent will be increased, the Company capitalizes external legal costs incurred in the defense of the patent. Upon successful defense of litigation, the amounts previously capitalized are amortized over the remaining life of the patent.

The Company applied for an additional patent on September 15, 2008. On March 6, 2009, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued an allowance for the patent titled “Speech Recognition and Transcription Among Users Having Heterogeneous Protocols”. The Company capitalized the additional deferred costs associated with the application and will begin amortization in 2009. As of March 31, 2009 additional costs of $5,926 have been deferred.  The deferred fees will be capitalized in 2009 when the patent is issued.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of cost incurred to purchase assets.  Depreciation expense totaled $341 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 4                    Related Party Transactions

 

Contributed Services

 

During the years from 2000 through 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s officers and employees contributed research and development services and administrative services.  The fair value of those services was recorded in the accompanying financial statements based on the prevailing rates for such services, with a corresponding credit to Additional paid-in capital.   Contributed services recorded in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following:

 

 

 

Indebtedness to Related Parties

 

During the years from 2000 through 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, certain officers advanced the Company working capital to maintain the Company’s operations.  In May 2008, the Company made a promissory note to its president in the original principal amount of $225,544 to reflect the Company’s obligation to repay the working capital advances made by its president.  At March 31, 2009, as well as December 31, 2008, the Company outstanding principal balance of the promissory note was $220,544.  The note carries a 4 percent annual interest rate and matures on July 6, 2009.   Accrued interest as of March 31, 2009 is $2,175.

 

Note 5                    Income Taxes

 

A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate is as follows:

 

The Company is considered a start-up company for income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had not commenced its trade operations, so all costs were capitalized under Section 195. Accordingly, the Company had no net operating loss carry forwards at March 31, 2009.

 

Note 6                Concentration of Risk

 

On March 31, 2009, the Company had cash balances at one financial institution of $4,655, which amount does not exceed the related federal deposit insurance.

 

Note 7                    Prepaid Expenses

 

During 2008, the Company paid a $15,000 retainer to a law firm in connection with the Company’s anticipated filing of a patent interference in the third quarter of 2008. This anticipated interference filing involves the Company’s claim of ownership of the subject matter of a third party’s patent. The interference application was filed on December 8, 2008.

During 2008, the Company paid a $5,000 retainer to a law firm in connection with the anticipated filing of an additional patent. The patent application was filed on September 15, 2008.

Overview

Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 31, 2005 as Samoyed Energy Corp., an oil and gas exploration, development, production and acquisition company. In May 2008, we consummated a stock exchange with the shareholders of Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“AVRS”), and consequently, AVRS became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On May 20, 2008, we transferred our oil and gas assets to Stone Canyon Resources, Inc. In June 2008, AVRS merged with and into us and we changed our name to “Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.” As a result of the stock exchange and the transfer of our oil and gas assets, our current operations are those of AVRS, and our fiscal year became that of AVRS and now ends on December 31^st.

Our common stock has been quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, also referred to as the OTCBB, since April 2007. Prior to June 19, 2008, our ticker symbol was “SMYD”, and on June 19, 2008, following our name change, our ticker symbol changed to “AVOI”.

AVRS was incorporated on July 7, 2005. In May 2000, WG Investments, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company formed that same year, acquired all of the assets of NCC, Inc., an Ohio corporation, and all rights, title and interests in and to U.S. Patent #5,960,447. Promptly following the acquisition, the members of WG Investments, LLC voted to change its name to NCC, LLC. In 2005, the members of NCC, LLC exchanged their membership interests in NCC, LLC for shares of common stock of AVRS.

On March 25, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, NCC, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, whereby NCC, LLC merged with and into us pursuant to Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Business Corporations Act. Upon consummation of the Agreement and Plan of Merger: (i) NCC, LLC ceased to exist; (ii) our member interests in NCC, LLC automatically were canceled or retired and ceased to exist, without any consideration delivered in exchange thereof; (iii) the title to all estate, property rights privileges, powers and franchise assets and/or other rights owned by NCC, LLC became vested in us without reversion or impairment; and (iv) all liabilities of any kind of NCC, LLC became vested in us. As a result, we own U.S. Patent #5,960,447.

We are a software development company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with an office in Mitchell, South Dakota. We specialize in creating interface and application solutions for speech recognition technologies. Our speech recognition software and related firmware was first introduced in 1994 at an industry trade show.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Results of Operations

We completed a stock exchange on May 19, 2008 and changed our business model. We have not generated any revenue since inception and do not have any cash generating product or licensing sales. We are a development stage enterprise that has incurred losses since inception.

At March 31, 2009, we had current assets of $24,655 and current liabilities of $331,863, as compared to current assets of $22,627and $297,559 in current liabilities at December 31, 2008. Our increase in current assets is attributable to funds we received from a shareholder, as described in Note 1 to our financial statements. Our increase in current liabilities primarily is due to an increase in accounts payable resulting from ongoing operations.

We had a net loss of $94,272 and $73,941for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The increase in net loss is attributable to increased contributed services and professional fees incurred in conjunction with the May 2008 stock exchange and our efforts to implement our business plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we used $7,255 of cash in operating activities and $5,927 of cash in investing activities, and received $15,210 of cash provided by financing activities. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized a $2,028 net increase in cash on hand. For the three months ended March 31 2008, we used $31,401 of cash in operating activities and no cash in investing activities, and received $31,401 of cash provided by financing activities, resulting in no change in cash on hand for the year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the funds we received were attributable to a shareholder obligated to provide such funding, or in the alternative, tender certain of his shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation.  Historically, our president has loaned or advanced to us funds for working capital on an “as needed” basis. There is no assurance that these funds, loans or advances will continue in the future. Because of our history of losses, net capital deficit and lack of assurance of additional financing, the audit report on our financial statements contains a “going concern” opinion regarding doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In an attempt to address our financing needs, on September 25, 2008 we entered into an agreement with Lion Share Capital, LLC for the sale to Lion Share Capital of 16,000,000 shares of our common stock, and we received a $5,000,000 note from Lion Share. As of March 31, 2009, no funds have been received from Lion Share Capital, and the 16,000,000 shares remain pledged to us as collateral.  Lion Share Capital has informed the Company that it intends to make payments to the Company.  If we receive payments on the note, our liquidity may increase. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining payments on the note from Lion Share Capital.

U.S. Patent #5,960,447 includes 42 claims that we believe cover an extremely broad base of features applicable to existing ASR products and markets. We intend to use our patent protection to our advantage by licensing or otherwise. If our licensing and other efforts prove successful, our liquidity may increase.

The legal fees associated with current prosecution for enhancing our existing patent rights, which are estimated at approximately $30,000, are currently deferred costs; however, if this activity proves successful, these fees will be capitalized. The associated legal fees for our additional filed U.S. patent application (allowed on March 6, 2009) are deferred at March 31, 2009.  The deferred fees totaling $5,926 at March 31, 2009 will be capitalized in 2009 when the patent is issued.

We will require additional debt or equity financing or a combination of both in order to carry out our business plan. We plan to raise additional funds through future sales of our common stock, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations. Our board of directors may attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations that may consist of restricted shares of our common stock. These actions would result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute our common stock book value.

Historically, our officers and employees have contributed research, development, administrative and other services without compensation.  If we are successful in obtaining funding, we expect to pay salaries in cash to our officers and employees for their services provided to us.

To obtain sufficient funds to meet our future needs for capital, we will from time to time, evaluate opportunities to raise financing through some combination of the private sale of equity, or issuance of convertible debt securities. However, future equity or debt financing may not be available to us at all, or if available, may not be on terms acceptable to us. We do not intend to pay dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future.

In order for our operations to continue, we will need to generate revenues from our intended operations sufficient to meet our anticipated cost structure. We may encounter difficulties in establishing these operations due to our inability to successfully prosecute any patent enforcement actions or our inability to effectively execute our business plan.

If we do not raise additional capital, or we are unable to obtain additional financing, or begin to generate revenues from our intended operations, we may have to scale back or postpone the development and marketing of our products or the enforcement of our patent rights until such financing is available.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:  

        (1)    pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;  

        (2)    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management and directors; and  

        (3)    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.   

Our management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this assessment, our management believes that, as of March 31, 2009, our internal control over financing reporting is effective based on those criteria. 

This Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Form 10-Q.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
