Throughout
this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,”
“the Company” and “the Registrant” refer to Beyond Commerce, Inc., a Nevada
corporation formerly known as Boomj, Inc. and Reel Estate Services, Inc., and,
unless the context indicates otherwise, also include our wholly-owned
subsidiaries. As of the date of this Annual Report, we only have one
wholly-owned subsidiary ( Boomj.com), Inc., a Nevada
corporation). During the fiscal years covered by this Annual Report,
KaChing KaChing, Inc., a Nevada corporation we formed in the third quarter of
2009, and LocalAdLink, Inc., a Nevada corporation, whose business we
sold to a third party in October, 2009, were wholly owns
subsidiaries. Accordingly, the operations of LocalAdLink and KaChing
KaChing are included herein during the periods that those subsidiaries were
operating as our subsidiaries.
“Safe Harbor”
Statement
From time
to time, we make oral and written statements that may constitute
“forward-looking statements” (rather than historical facts) as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ”SEC”) in its rules, regulations and releases,
including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We
desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements made
from time to time, including the forward-looking statements made in this Annual
Report, as well as those made in our other filings with the SEC.
All
statements in this Annual Report, including under the captions “Description of
Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” other than statements of
historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of these provisions,
including statements of our current views with respect to our business strategy,
business plan and research and development activities, our future financial
results, and other future events. These statements include
forward-looking statements both with respect to us, specifically, and the
Internet and on-line e-commerce industries, in general. In some
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology
such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“potential” or “could” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such
expectations or any of the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct,
and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in
the forward-looking statements.
All
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and there
are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated in these statements. If one or more
of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying
assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what
we anticipate. Please consider our forward-looking statements in
light of those risks as you read this Annual Report. We undertake no
obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS
|
Beyond
Commerce, Inc., formerly known as BOOMj, Inc. (the “Company”, and “we”), is an
Internet company that has two interrelated business models aimed at generating
revenues primarily from Web site advertising and E-commerce
transactions. These two business models consist of advertising and
merchandise sales through a social networking website, and E-commerce services
and advertising through E-commerce solutions.
Our
initial business was BOOMj.com,
Inc. , www.BOOMj.com , a
niche portal and social networking site for Baby Boomers and Generation
Jones. Our BOOMj.com Web site provides social, political, financial,
and lifestyle content to the Baby Boomer/Generation Jones target audience as a
platform for our advertising and E-commerce businesses.
During
the second quarter of 2009 we re-launched i-SUPPLY, www.i-SUPPLY.com,
an online storefront that offers easy to use, fully customizable E-commerce
services, and revenue solutions for any third party Web site large or small, and
hosts local ads, providing extensive reach for our proprietary advertising
partner network platform.
~ 3
~
During
the third quarter of 2009 we formed another subsidiary, KaChing KaChing,
Inc. This subsidiary is an E-commerce platform that provides a
complete turn-key E-commerce solution. Individual KaChing KaChing on line store
owners have the ability to create, manage and earn money from product sales
generated from their individual Web stores. Until
October 9, 2009, we also operated a website, a local search directory and local
advertising network geo-targeted to local consumers through our LocalAdLink,
Inc. wholly-owned subsidiary. On October 9, 2009, LocalAdLink Inc.
sold its LocalAdLink Software (the “Software”) and all of their assets related
to the Software including the rights to the name LocalAdLink, the LocalAdLink
trademark, the Website, www.LocalAdLink.com ,
and a local search directory and advertising network that brings local
advertising to geo-targeted consumers. We will continue to sell
advertising as we had prior to inception of Local Ad Link, Inc., however on a
smaller scale with a greater emphasis on business to business
sales.
History
of the Company
The
Company, formerly known as Reel Estate Services, Inc. (“RES”), was incorporated
in Nevada on January 12, 2006. As of December 28, 2007, RES was a
public shell company, defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
inactive, publicly quoted company with nominal assets and
liabilities.
In
December 2008, the Company changed its name from BOOMj, Inc. to Beyond Commerce,
Inc. to more accurately reflect the new structure of the Company that included
new operating divisions (i.e. i-SUPPLY and until its assets were sold,
LocalAdLink, Inc.)
On
October 9, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned, LocalAdLink, Inc. entered
into an asset purchase agreement (the “LocalAdLink Purchase Agreement”) with
OmniReliant Holdings, Inc. (“Omni”), pursuant to which, on October 9, 2009, the
Company and LocalAdLink sold to Omni the assets relating to the LocalAdLink
software, the Web site,
www.LocalAdLink.com , and a local search directory and advertising
network that brings local advertising to geo-targeted consumers. The assets sold
under the LocalAdLink Purchase Agreement include the assets relating to the
LocalAdLink source codes, as updated, name rights, the LocalAdLink trademark,
any additional third party codes that have been modified or integrated into the
source codes to enable the business process operations of LocalAdLink, including
but not limited to the domain URL assets, and all creative materials,
advertising and promotional materials, marketing materials, conference
materials, database materials, supplier lists, equipment repair, maintenance or
service records, and all other printed or written materials whether written or
electronically stored or otherwise recorded, as they relate to the foregoing
assets.
The
Company currently maintains its corporate office in Henderson,
Nevada.
Our
Businesses
Our
continuing business operations are (i) i-SUPPLY, and (ii) BOOMj. As
noted above, on October 9, 2009, we sold the assets relating to the software,
name rights, and trademark of a third division of the Company, LocalAdLink, an
online advertising service that enables local businesses to reach local
customers. The Company will continue to sell advertising as it had prior to
inception of Local Ad Link, Inc., however on a different scale with a greater
emphasis on business to business sales. In particular, the Company will make
sales directly through experienced professional sales representatives rather
than through a multi-level marketing system, and such advertising will continue
to be presented on the Company’s Boomj social network and i-SUPPLY store
network. In addition, through such professional sales representatives, we will
seek to continue to expand sales of our preparatory widget technology, which
allows any Web site that is operated by a third party to use our
online storefront tool to monetize visitors of their Web site by simply
cutting and pasting a few lines of code to instantly create a
online storefront on their site.
During
the third quarter of 2009 the Company started another subsidiary, KaChing
KaChing, Inc. This subsidiary is a progressive e-commerce business dedicated to
offering of an e-commerce solution that provides individual store owners (“Store
Owners”) the ability to create, manage and earn money from product sales
generated from their individual online web stores. KaChing manages all product
selection, on-site merchandising, shipping, returns, refunds, customer service
and pricing. KaChing offers back office dashboard that allows Store Owners to
easily manage their stores and track commissions, basically a complete turn-key
operation. A Store Owner is principally charged with marketing and managing his
website.
i-SUPPLY
Our
i-SUPPLY division specializes in providing state of the art E-commerce tools and
solutions for high traffic Web sites. The i-SUPPLY widget online
store will allow any Web site that is operated by a third party to use our
online storefront tool to monetize visitors of their Web site by
simply cutting and pasting a few lines of code to instantly create a
online storefront on their site. Using the i-SUPPLY tool,
participating Web sites will be able to offer 1.8 million brand name products on
their Web site and will be able to customize the look and feel of their
storefront. i-SUPPLY creates a value-add to these owners by handling
product selection, pricing, customer support, billing and shipping for any sales
generated by its widget. In March 2009, we launched the beta
version of the i-SUPPLY store front tool. The advanced version of the
storefront tool with additional functionality and features was released during
the second quarter of 2009.
~ 4
~
i-SUPPLY
offers E-commerce solutions that combine the best features of today’s hottest
online storefronts with social shopping platforms, offering users
of i-SUPPLY highly valuable technology, products and information to
monetize their traffic. For example, a third party site dedicated to
a specific interest (such as photography, gardening, electronics, etc.) can now
use the i-SUPPLY storefront to offer a store on that site that offers thousands
of products related to that interest (such as photo equipment, gardening tools,
or electronic products). Users of the tool will be able to generate
sales from their Web site without having to set up and operate an online store.
i-Supply has over 4,800 member affiliate agreements and over 2,600
stores. The Company is in the process of creating stores for the member
affiliate agreements that do not yet have corresponding stores. i-SUPPLY is not
dependent on one or more major customers.
The core
of i-SUPPLY is our proprietary Widget store technology. This technology allows
users to instantly create a store that is hosted on their platform by simply
copying and pasting a few lines of code into a blank page on their site. This
means that third party Web sites will retain traffic and be able to record
statistics through our innovative live reporting and sales tools. This unique
service allows any Web site to integrate customizable Web stores with tailored
assortments of products from over 1.8 million brand names. i-SUPPLY’s team
completely manages all backend fulfillment issues following a sale of any of the
products, including shipping, customer service, returns, and
refunds.
i-SUPPLY
provides us with the potential to generate revenue from product sales on third
party Web sites. In addition, the third party storefronts are built with
customized advertising space dedicated to local advertising. This ad
inventory is filled by our former LocalAdLink division, thereby providing the
Company with the ability to extend its advertising reach to the hundreds of
thousands of Web properties who use the i-SUPPLY platform.
BOOMj.com
The BOOMj
subsidiary operates BOOMj.com, the leading online community for Baby Boomers and
Generation Jones, both born during the big 20-year post-World War II boom in
births from the mid-1940's to mid-1960's. “Baby Boomer” is a term
used to describe a person who was born between 1942 and 1953, while “Generation
Jones” is a term generally used to describe people born between 1954 and
1965. Together they consist of almost 80 million people, arguably at
the prime of their lives.
BOOMj.com’s
membership is absolutely free and offers a rich integrated online experience
through easy to use social networking and shopping tools for members to network,
as well as share common interests with others, including their friends, family
and colleagues. BOOMj.com members will be able to take advantage of
the innovative technologies incorporated from i-SUPPLY, offering over 1.8
Million brand name products at affordable prices.
Currently,
BOOMj.com’s traditional social-networking features include that of creating a
personal and business profile, uploading and sharing images and videos.
Community features include blogs, groups and messaging between friends as well
as the ability to create posts and leave messages on individual profile pages.
The BOOMj Expert Network features over sixty experts in categories ranging from
retirement and financial planning to fitness and health. BOOMj Experts interact
with our community of members by providing advice and insight on these important
and relevant topics. Members are also able to reach out to experts for opinions
and recommendations. BOOMj.com also offers content from respected third parties,
such as Tribune Media, in the areas of current events, health and lifestyle.
This additional news and information offers incremental value to members and
often acts as the starting point for debate and interaction.
As a way
of showing our appreciation to our community and incentivizing interaction, we
award our members with reward points for all of their activity on the site.
Whether they read an article, upload new photos, take a quiz, comment on a blog,
write a product review, and invite friends to join or even respond to a survey,
our members accrue reward points. These BOOMj Reward Points are redeemable
as discounts towards purchases in the BOOMj store and are a valuable tool for
increasing our brand loyalty.
The BOOMj
store currently offers over 1.8 million brand name products at affordable
prices. The store is available to both our members and the general public and
offers best selling products across major categories including but not limited
to beauty, garden and patio, Books, kitchen, music, camera and photo, office
supplies, computers, pets, consumer electronics, wellness, DVDs and more.
BOOMj.com has registered over 85,000 members since commencing the site. Boomj is
not dependent on one or more major customers.

KACHING KACHING
INC.
KaChing
is an early-stage business with a limited operating history that launched its
website www.kachingkaching.com in September 2009. KaChing is a progressive
e-commerce company dedicated to offering of an e-commerce solution that provides
individual store owners (“Store Owners”) the ability to create, manage and earn
money from product sales generated from their individual online web stores. This
business model is basically a retail chain of online stores serving consumers on
the Internet. Store product categories include: Books, DVDs, Computers,
Software, Kitchen, Home & Garden, Pet Supplies, Cosmetics & Fragrance,
Health & Wellness, Consumer Electronics, Cameras, Office Supplies and other
items. KaChing manages all product selection, on-site merchandising, shipping,
returns, refunds, customer service and pricing. KaChing offers back office
dashboard that allows Store Owners to easily manage their stores and track
commissions, basically a complete turn-key operation. A Store Owner is
principally charged with marketing and managing his website. In addition, a
Store Owner can, depending on his license, recruit other store owners and
receive a recruiting bonus.
KaChing
leverages today’s social shopping trends by allowing customers to contribute
reviews and ratings on each product sold in the store. These reviews are
aggregated across KaChing storefronts. Our Store Owners can also participate in
the Store Owners community which provides in-depth training, tips and advice on
how to grow their business virally.
Store
Owners subscribe to a monthly license, with 3 levels of membership - $30 / $50 /
$100 per month. Each Store Owner can sell products from its individual website
and earn a commission. Also, as noted above, the Store Owner can sell store
licenses and earn a commission including the potential to earn override
commissions on store licenses sold and may qualify for bonuses based upon
defined performance levels. Premium membership at $50 and $100 allows
Store Owners to give-away “free” non-member stores and earn a commission on
sales from those stores.
Competition
BOOMj.com
social network has intense competition in the social network and niche community
space. Many internet users belong to more than one social network and
divide their time between those networks. We expect this competition to continue
to increase as new social networking sites open. As a result, we face
formidable competition in every aspect of our social networking business, and
particularly from other companies that seek to connect people with information
and entertainment on the Web. Competitors include Eons.com,
TeeBeeDee.com, AARP.com, Facebook.com, Myspace.com, Boomergirl.com and
Boomer411.com. In addition, we will continue to compete with large
portals like Yahoo.com, MSN.com, Aol.com and professional social communities
like LinkedIn and Plaxo. We also expect competition from traditional magazine
and newspaper publishers, as they begin to integrate social networking features
into their current digital properties.
BOOMj.com
media and advertising competes for both the
national and local advertisers. While advertising on the Web
continues to grow, so does the competition for the national and local
advertising dollars. Large web advertisers, such as Google and Yahoo,
dominate major advertising. In order to avoid head-to-head
competition with these larger competitors, we are trying to foster both agency
and direct brand relationships while still offering competitive and unique
advertising and sponsorship packages. In addition, we will also be
competing for advertising revenues with other E-commerce companies, with general
purpose consumer online services such as America Online and Microsoft Network,
with websites that target specific markets in which we also provide content
(such as, for example, business and financial needs that are served by
TheStreet.com and Motley Fool and other web “portal” companies, such as Excite,
Infoseek, Yahoo! and Lycos).
There are
many competitors on the Internet selling similar e-commerce membership programs
and products. We believe the most effective way to be successful against this
competition is a combination of quality products with independent store owners
having exceptional customer service and backend office support. Our experience
tells us that there are many companies selling inferior e-commerce programs and
very few companies willing to truly put their signature on customer service and
back office support.
We
believe that both i-SUPPLY and KaChing KaChing and its Store Owners must compete
against some of the major Internet online websites including Shopping.com and
Amazon.com as they become retail store owners in this sector of the Internet –
E-Commerce. Retail sales on the Internet have grown at a blistering pace of 20%
a year for the past 12 years and now exceeds $150,000,000,000 of annual online
retail sales in the U.S. Marketers are projected to continue to make social
networks a priority for 2010, but a significant portion of their spending will
go toward building and maintaining a social network presence.
~ 6
~
i-SUPPLY
and KaChing Store Owners on the Internet are able to become a real store owner
and buy and sell products directly from manufacturers and wholesalers. This is a
home based business that can be attractive to grow in a full-time or part-time
basis by marketing individual stores on the Internet, to friends and family and
through personal consumption. The business model reflects a retail chain concept
of online stores serving consumers on the Internet. This revolutionary idea was
created to compete with the brick-and-mortar and e-commerce worlds with the
expert knowledge in retail strategies, sourcing and pricing products, supply
chain distribution. The market consists of billions of dollars in retail
revenues.
We
believe that both i-SUPPLY and KaChing KaChing provide unique value for third
party websites that use our storefront. However other large
E-commerce platforms, such as Amazon.com and Buy.com may be able to create
similar opportunities. Our i-SUPPLY and KaChing KaChing product
offering competes against other E-commerce stores and against traditional brick
and mortar retailers that have the advantage of the brand awareness inherent
with their brick and mortar presence. In today’s economic climate
brick and mortar retailers are expanding their sales outreach, not by adding
physical locations, but by investing in the E-commerce strategy.
Marketing
Strategy
The
i-SUPPLY marketing strategy includes a commerce platform that is available for a
licensing fee to our brand builders. This allows the licensee to create an
unlimited affiliate program with other Web sites to create a store front of
brand name products. The brand builder and the affiliates will share in a
sliding scale commission structure from a minimum of 3% to a maximum of 10%.
Additionally i-SUPPLY will offer other Web partners its E-commerce solution.
This process will allow i-SUPPLY to grow virally throughout the Internet, thus
creating tens of thousands of Web sites carrying the i-SUPPLY E-commerce
solution. The Company also sells advertising on a business to business
basis in which the Boomj and i-SUPPLY platforms are utilized as targeted
advertising networks.
BOOMj
has implemented a variety of results driven and cost effective online and
offline marketing strategies in order to drive brand awareness, customer
generation and retention, and revenue for BOOMj.com. Such marketing
strategies include e-mail marketing, search engine marketing (both paid search
and search engine optimization), social media marketing, incentive/loyalty
marketing, comparison shopping engine marketing, Expert Network outreach, public
relations, participation in community, not-for-profit and industry related
events. With the transformation of BOOMj.com from a pure social community to a
social commerce community, customer, site traffic and revenue generation will
mainly be driven through the support of the viral marketing efforts of the
i-SUPPLY business property.
Government
Regulation
We are
subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect
companies conducting business on the Internet, including laws and regulations
relating to user privacy, freedom of expression, content, advertising,
information security and intellectual property rights. In the U.S.,
laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of
their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of
claims, which include actions for defamation, libel, invasion of privacy and
other data protection claims, tort, unlawful activity, copyright or trademark
infringement and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials
searched, the ads posted or the content generated by users. Certain foreign
jurisdictions are also testing the liability of providers of online services for
activities of their users and other third parties. Any court ruling that imposes
liability on providers of online services for activities of their users and
other third parties could harm our business. Likewise, a range of other laws and
new interpretations of existing laws could have an impact on our business. For
example, in the U.S. the Digital Millennium Copyright Act has provisions that
limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our liability for listing, linking or
hosting third-party content that includes materials that infringe copyrights or
other rights. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future
as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part
to comply with these laws may subject us to significant
liabilities.
Similarly,
the application of existing laws prohibiting, regulating or requiring licenses
for certain businesses of our advertisers, including, for example, online
gambling, distribution of pharmaceuticals, adult content, financial services,
alcohol or firearms, can be unclear. Application of these laws in an
unanticipated manner could expose us to substantial liability and restrict our
ability to deliver services to our users. For example, some French courts have
interpreted French trademark laws in ways that would, if upheld, limit the
ability of competitors to advertise in connection with generic
keywords.
We are
also subject to federal, state and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection
of user data. We post on our Web site our privacy policies and practices
concerning the use and disclosure of user data. Any failure by us to comply with
our posted privacy policies or privacy-related laws and regulations could result
in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could
potentially harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of data
protection laws, and their application to the Internet, in Europe and other
foreign jurisdictions is unclear and in a state of flux. There is a risk that
these laws may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways from country to
country and in a manner that is not consistent with our current data protection
practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could cause
us to incur additional costs and to have to change our business practices.
Further, any failure by us to protect our users’ privacy and data could result
in a loss of user confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of users,
which could adversely affect our business.
~ 7
~
In
addition, because our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign
jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, even
where we have no local entity, employees or infrastructure.
Intellectual
Property
Our
trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are
important assets for us. We believe that we own the trademarks to

EMPLOYEES
AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
As of
April 15, 2010 we have 16 full-time employees, including our three executive
officers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not
experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to
be fair as many of these employees have not been paid since the beginning of the
year.
ITEM 1A.
|
RISK
FACTORS.
|
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding to invest in
or maintain your investment in our company. The risks described below
are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of all of the potential risks
relating to an investment in our securities. If any of the following
or other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating
results and the trading price or value of our securities could be materially and
adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
We
have had operating losses since formation and expect to incur net losses for the
near term.
We
reported net losses of $11,656,030 and $13,595,294 for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Although we generate
revenues (we generated $1,843,231 in 2008 and $13,953,470 during 2009 from
continuing and discontinued operations), our revenues and gross profits
currently are not sufficient to cover our operating
expenses. Substantially all of our revenues in 2009 were derived from
our LocalAdLink operations, which we sold in October 2009. We
anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses in the near term, and we
may never be able to achieve profitability. In order to achieve
profitable operations we need to significantly increase our revenues from
product sales, store licenses and advertising and reduce operating
expenses. We cannot be certain that our business will ever be
successful or that we will generate significant revenues and become
profitable.
As
of December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $13,072,314 and a
negative net worth of $12,476,123, which put our ability to operate in the
future, and our ability to raise additional financing, in jeopardy.
As of
December 31, 2009, we only had $608,149 of current assets, but had $13,680,463
of current liabilities, as a result of which we had a working capital deficit of
$13,072,314. In addition, we had a negative net worth of $12,476,123. Since we
do not have sufficient current assets to pay our current liabilities, our
ability to operate in the future is in jeopardy unless we obtain additional
financing. However, our negative net worth, working capital deficit, and history
of losses will make it difficult to obtain the financing that we will need to
operate in the future. No assurance can be given that we will be able to
continue to operate as planned, or at all.
~ 8
~
We
will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to
obtain.
We
currently do not have sufficient cash available to fund our working capital
needs. In addition, we do not generate sufficient cash from
operations to fund our operating expenses, nor do we have any credit facilities
available to us from which we can fund our operating deficits. Our
capital requirements in connection with our commercial operations have been and
will continue to be significant. Also, we have to date funded many of
our operating expenses from short-term loans, of which $5,023,322 has already
matured and is in default or is currently in default due to cross-default
provisions and an additional $1,333,333 that will mature during the second
quarter of 2010. Accordingly, we will need to obtain a significant
amount of additional capital (from operations or from investors) to continue to
fund our operating expenses and to repay our outstanding obligations within the
next 30 days. However, in order to generate more sales from our
E-commerce stores, we need to obtain additional credit from our vendor credit
lines with the suppliers of the products that we sell. Because of our
current financial position, we have not received the amount of vendor credit
that we need to generate significant sales from our E-commerce
sales. Accordingly, we will need to obtain a minimum of approximately
$4,000,000 of funding until revenues increase to continue to finance our
operations and to repay our currently outstanding obligations for the next
twelve months.
We have
not identified the sources for the additional financing that we will require,
and we do not have commitments from any third parties to provide this
financing. Certain investors may be unwilling to invest in our
securities since we are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and not on a national
securities exchange, particularly if there is only limited trading in our common
stock on the OTC Bulletin Board at the time we seek financing. There
is no assurance that sufficient funding through a financing will be available to
us at acceptable terms or at all. Any additional funding that we
obtain in a financing is likely to reduce the percentage ownership of the
Company held by our existing security-holders. The amount of this
dilution may be substantially increased if the trading price of our common stock
has declined at the time of any financing from its current
levels. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to
obtain the needed additional funding, we will have to reduce or even totally
discontinue our operations, which would result in a total loss to all of our
equity investors and a significant loss to our promissory note
holders.
Our
independent auditors’ report has included an explanatory paragraph in
its report stating that there is a substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.
Because
we have incurred losses of approximately $11,656,030 and $13,595,294 in 2009 and
2008, respectively and will need to raise additional capital to fund our
operations in 2010, our auditor included in its report for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, an explanatory paragraph stating that
there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
If we continue to generate significant losses we may not be able to continue as
a going concern.
We
currently have outstanding potentially convertible promissory notes that are in
technical default that are secured by a lien on all of this company’s assets.
Accordingly, should the noteholders declare the notes in default, it - could
result in the foreclosure of all of our assets and the termination of our
business.
We
initially issued $4,280,000 (of which $2,210,000 is still outstanding) of
convertible promissory notes that are secured by a first priority security
interest on all of our assets. These notes were scheduled to mature on March 31,
2009. The holders of those notes had extended the maturity date
of those notes to January 31, 2010. As a result of this extension,
all $2,210,000 of the notes now mature and in technical default (no holders have
as yet exercised their rights to call the note in default, however they may do
so at any time) and must be repaid in full, both principal and
interest. The holders of the convertible promissory notes currently
have the right to foreclose on all of our assets, which would materially and
adversely affect our ability to continue our operations and could terminate our
existence. No assurance can be given that we will be able to make all payments
as required or that we will be able to repay the convertible promissory
notes.
We
have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can
be made. For that reason, it is difficult to judge our prospects.
We have a
limited operating history, and as a result investors do not have access to the
same type of information in assessing their proposed investment as would be
available to investors in a company with a more extensive history of prior
operations. Although we have operated our BOOMj.com Web site for
the past two years, because of our lack of funding we have not been able to
maintain vendor credit lines with the suppliers of our online
products. As a result, we have not been able to maintain and generate
sales through the online store on our BOOMj.com Web site. In
addition, our LocalAdLink product was introduced late in the fourth quarter of
2008 (in October 2009, we sold the assets relating to the software, name rights,
and trademark of the LocalAdLink product), and the formal launch of the fully
functional i-SUPPLY online storefront occurred late in the second quarter of
2009. Accordingly, to date, we have operated as an early stage
company that is developing and now introducing its business. As a
developing new company, we face all the risks inherent in a new business,
including the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently
encountered in connection with commencing new operations, including capital
requirements and management’s potential underestimation of initial and ongoing
costs. We also face the risk that we may not be able to effectively implement
our business plan or successfully roll out new products. If we are
not effective in addressing these risks, we may not develop a viable business or
may not operate profitably. We expect to incur operating losses for
the near future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate
revenues or that any revenues generated will be sufficient for us to become
profitable or thereafter maintain profitability.

If
our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders
could lose their investment.
There is
no guarantee that our strategy for developing our three Internet platforms and
websites will be successful or that if successfully developed, will result in
this company becoming profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we may fail
to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business
we pursue that may cause the value of Beyond Commerce, Inc. to decrease, thereby
potentially causing our stockholders to lose their investment.
We
may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, which would
negatively impact our operations.
If our
business and markets grow and develop it will be necessary for us to finance and
manage expansion in an orderly fashion. We recently re-launched our i-SUPPLY
businesses. These new product offerings and businesses will require
additional resources and personnel. We may face challenges in
managing these and other expanding product and service offerings and in
integrating these businesses with our other website operations. Such
eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and
facilities. Failure to satisfy increased demands could interrupt or adversely
affect our operations, restrain the potential growth of the two new businesses,
and cause administrative inefficiencies.
We
may be unable to successfully execute all of our identified business
opportunities, or other business opportunities that we determine to
pursue.
We
currently have limited resources with which to fully develop our existing
businesses opportunities. Our ability to successfully develop our
existing, and possible future, business opportunities will depend on one or more
of the following factors:
|
·
|
our ability to raise substantial
additional capital to fund the implementation of our business
plan;
|
|
·
|
our ability to execute our
business strategy;
|
|
·
|
the ability of our services to
achieve market acceptance;
|
|
·
|
our ability to manage the
expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which could
result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer
relationships;
|
|
·
|
our ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel;
|
|
·
|
our ability to manage our third
party relationships effectively;
and
|
|
·
|
our ability to accurately predict
and respond to the rapid technological changes in our industry and the
evolving demands of the markets we
serve.
|
Our
failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a
significant impact on our ability to implement our business plan and our ability
to pursue other opportunities that arise.
Our
businesses depend, to a large extent, on the development of strong brands, and
if we do not develop and enhance our brand, our ability to attract and retain
subscribers and customers may be impaired and our business and operating results
may be harmed.
We
believe that our brands are a critical part of our business. Developing and
enhancing our brand may require us to make substantial investments with no
assurance that these investments will be successful. If we fail to promote and
develop the “I-SUPPLY” or “BOOMj.com’’ brands, or if we incur significant
expenses in this effort, our business, prospects, operating results and
financial condition may be harmed. We anticipate that developing, maintaining
and enhancing our brands will become increasingly important, difficult and
expensive.
~ 10
~
Our
intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them
could reduce the value of our products, services and brand.
Our
trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are
important assets for us. Various events outside of our control pose a threat to
our intellectual property rights as well as to our products and services. For
example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in
every country in which our products and services are distributed or made
available through the internet. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our
proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant
impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our
ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly
and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual
property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating
results.
In
providing our services we could infringe on the intellectual property rights of
others, which may cause us to engage in costly litigation and, if we do not
prevail, could also cause us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from
selling our services.
Third
parties may assert infringement or other intellectual property claims against
us. We may have to pay substantial damages, if it is ultimately determined that
our services infringe a third party’s proprietary rights. Even if claims are
without merit, defending a lawsuit takes significant time, may be expensive and
may divert management’s attention from our other business concerns.
Traffic
Levels on our BOOMj.com website and other websites can fluctuate, which could
materially adversely affect our business.
Traffic
levels to our websites can fluctuate significantly as a result of social,
political and financial news events. The demand for advertising, cross promotion
and subscriptions on the Company’s Websites as well as on the Internet in
general can cause changes in rates paid for Internet
advertising. Fluctuating levels of visitors to our websites and to
websites for which we provide i-SUPPLY services, could harm our ability
marketing or advertising agreements, will result in lower sales and advertising
revenues, and could raise our budgeted marketing and advertising
costs.
Our
business may be adversely affected by malicious applications that interfere
with, or exploit security flaws in, our products and services.
Our
business may be adversely affected by malicious applications that make changes
to our users’ computers and interfere with the Internet products that we
provide. These applications attempt to change our users’ internet
experience or may interfere with the operation and functionality of our web
products. Malicious interference often occurs without disclosure to
or consent from users, resulting in a negative experience that users and
customers may associate with our company’s products and
services. These applications may be difficult or impossible to
uninstall or disable, may reinstall themselves and may circumvent other
applications’ efforts to block or remove them. In addition, we offer a number of
products and services that our users download to their computers or that they
rely on to store information and transmit information to others over the
internet. These products and services are subject to attack by viruses, worms
and other malicious software programs, which could jeopardize the security of
information stored in a user’s computer or in our computer systems and networks.
The ability to reach users and provide them with a superior experience is
critical to our success. If our efforts to combat these malicious
applications are unsuccessful, or if our products and services have actual or
perceived vulnerabilities, our reputation may be harmed and our user traffic
could decline, which would damage our business.
We
rely on bandwidth providers, data centers or others in providing products and
services to our users, and any failure or interruption in the services and
products provided by these third parties could harm our ability to operate our
business and damage our reputation.
We rely
on vendors, including data center and bandwidth providers. Any disruption in the
network access or collocation services provided by these providers or any
failure of these providers to handle current or higher volumes of use could
significantly harm our business. Any financial or other difficulties our
providers face may have negative effects on our business. We exercise little
control over these vendors, which increases our vulnerability to problems with
the services they provide. We license technology and related databases to
facilitate aspects of our data center and connectivity operations including
internet traffic management services. We have experienced and expect to continue
to experience interruptions and delays in service and availability for such
elements. Any errors, failures, interruptions or delays in connection with these
technologies and information services could harm our relationship with users,
adversely affect our brand and expose us to liabilities.
Our
systems are also heavily reliant on the availability of electricity. If we were
to experience a major power outage, we would have to rely on back-up generators.
These back-up generators may not operate properly and their fuel supply could be
inadequate during a major power outage. This could result in a disruption of our
business.
~ 11
~
Our
business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet by us and our
users. Internet access providers may be able to block, degrade or charge for
access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional
expenses and the loss of users and advertisers.
Our
products and services depend on the ability of our users to access the internet,
and certain of our products require significant bandwidth to work effectively.
Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant and
increasing market power in the broadband and internet access marketplace,
including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies and mobile
communications companies. Some of these providers have stated that they may take
measures that could degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of user access to
certain of our products by restricting or prohibiting the use of their
infrastructure to support or facilitate our offerings, or by charging increased
fees to us or our users to provide our offerings. These activities may be
permitted in the U.S. after recent regulatory changes, including recent
decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Communications Commission and
under legislation being considered by the U.S. Congress. While interference with
access to our popular products and services seems unlikely, such carrier
interference could result in a loss of existing users and advertisers, increased
costs, and impair our ability to attract new users and advertisers, thereby
harming our revenue and growth.
We
may be subject to recently enacted privacy legislation and regulation which
could reduce our potential revenues and profitability.
Entities
engaged in operations over the internet, particularly relating to the collection
of user information, are subject to limitations on their ability to utilize such
information under federal and state legislation and regulation. In
2000, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act required that the collection of identifiable
information regarding users of financial services be subject to stringent
disclosure and “opt-out” provisions. While this law and the
regulations enacted by the Federal Trade Commission and others relates primarily
to information relating to financial transactions and financial institutions,
the broad definitions of those terms may make the businesses entered into by the
Company and its strategic partners subject to the provisions of the Act, which
may, in turn, increase the cost of doing business and reduce our
revenues. Similarly, the Children On-line Privacy and Protection Act
(“COPPA”) imposes strict limitations on the ability of internet ventures to
collect information from minors. The impact of COPPA may be to increase the cost
of doing business on the internet and reduce potential revenue
sources. We may also be impacted by the USA Patriot Act, which
requires certain companies to collect and provide information to United States
governmental authorities. A number of state governments have also proposed or
enacted privacy legislation that reflects or, in some cases, extends the
limitations imposed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and COPPA. These
laws may further impact the cost of doing business on the internet.
Any attempt of federal or state
government to tax internet transactions could create uncertainty in our ability
to comply with varying, and potentially contradictory, requirements which could
negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
Currently,
the sale of goods and services on the internet is not subject to a uniform
system of taxation. A number of states, as well as the federal
government, have considered enacting legislation that would subject internet
transactions to sales, use or other taxes. Because there are a
variety of jurisdictions considering such actions, any attempt to tax internet
transactions could create uncertainty in the ability of internet-based companies
to comply with varying, and potentially contradictory,
requirements. We cannot predict whether any of the presently proposed
schemes will be adopted. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that
the adoption of such proposed schemes would have on our business with certainty;
however, they are likely to have a negative impact on our business, results of
operations or financial condition.
We
rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key
personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow
effectively
The
success of this company depends in large part upon the abilities and continued
service of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly Mr.
Robert J. McNulty, Chairman &, Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Mark V.
Noffke, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such officers and
employees. Our failure to retain the services of Messrs. McNulty and Noffke, and
other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and
future prospects. At the present time, we have no employment agreements and
no key person insurance policies in place for any of the above referenced
individuals. In order to support our business plan, we will be required to
recruit effectively, hire, train and retain additional qualified management
personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
~ 12
~
We
face intense competition from social networking sites and other Internet
businesses and may not be able to successfully compete.
We face
formidable competition in every aspect of our business, and particularly from
other companies that seek to connect people with information and entertainment
on the web. Such competitors include seniorjournal.com boomerwomenspeak.com,
aginghipsters.com, 50Plus.com, generationjones.com, Eons.com, AARP, YouTube, My
Space, Craig’s List, Evite, Shutterfly, Facebook and
YellowPages.com.
In
addition, we will be competing with other Internet companies, such as E-commerce
companies, general purpose consumer online services, such as America Online and
Microsoft Network; online services or Websites targeting business and financial
needs, such as TheStreet.com and Motley Fool; and other web “portal” companies,
such as Excite, Infoseek, Yahoo! and Lycos.
Many of
our competitors, particularly those in the advertising marketplace, have longer
operating histories and more established relationships with customers and end
users. They can use their experience and resources against us in a variety of
competitive ways, including by making acquisitions, investing more aggressively
in research and development and competing more aggressively for advertisers and
web sites. They may have a greater ability to attract and retain users than we
do because they operate internet portals with a broad range of content products
and services. If our competitors are successful in providing similar or better
web sites, more relevant advertisements or in leveraging their platforms or
products to make their web services easier to access, we could experience a
significant decline in user traffic or in the size of our network. Any such
decline could negatively affect our revenues.
We
face competition from traditional media companies, and we may not be included in
the advertising budgets of large advertisers, which could harm our operating
results.
In
addition to Internet companies, we face competition from companies that offer
traditional media advertising opportunities, including television, radio and
print. Most large advertisers have set advertising budgets, a very small portion
of which is allocated to internet advertising. We expect that large advertisers
will continue to focus most of their advertising efforts on traditional media.
If we fail to convince these companies to spend a portion of their advertising
budgets with us, or if our existing advertisers reduce the amount they spend on
our programs, our operating results would be harmed.
If
we do not continue to innovate and provide products and services that are useful
to users, we may not remain competitive, and our revenues and operating results
could suffer.
Our
success depends on providing products and services that make using the internet
a more useful and enjoyable experience for our users. Our competitors are
constantly developing innovations in web based products and services. As a
result, we must continue to invest significant resources in research and
development in order to enhance our existing products and services and introduce
new products and services that people can easily and effectively use. If we are
unable to provide quality products and services, then our users may become
dissatisfied and move to a competitor’s products and services. Our operating
results would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of
our users and members, are not appropriately timed with market opportunities or
are not effectively brought to market. As internet broadcasting technology and
social networks continue to develop, our competitors may be able to offer
products and services that are, or that are seen to be, substantially similar to
or better than ours. This may force us to compete in different ways and expend
significant resources in order to remain competitive.
We
need to enter into strategic relationships with other Websites. If we are unable
to do so, our revenues and operating results will suffer.
We will
need to establish and maintain strategic relationships with other Websites to
attract users, advertisers and compelling content. There is intense competition
for placements and cross promotion on these sites, and we may not be able to
enter into relationships on commercially reasonable terms or not at all. In
addition we may have to pay significant fees to establish and maintain these
relationships.
Changing laws,
rules and regulations and legal uncertainties could increase the regulation of
our business and therefore increase our operating costs.
We are
subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect
companies conducting business on the internet. In addition, laws and regulations
relating to user privacy, freedom of expression, content, advertising,
information security and intellectual property rights are being debated and
considered for adoption by many countries throughout the world. We face risks
from some of the proposed legislation that could be passed in the
future.
~ 13
~
In the
U.S., laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for
activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by
a number of claims, which include actions for defamation, libel, invasion of
privacy and other data protection claims, tort, unlawful activity, copyright or
trademark infringement and other theories based on the nature and content of the
materials searched, the ads posted or the content generated by users. Certain
foreign jurisdictions are also testing the liability of providers of online
services for activities of their users and other third parties. Any court ruling
that imposes liability on providers of online services for activities of their
users and other third parties could harm our business.
Likewise,
a range of other laws and new interpretations of existing laws could have an
impact on our business. For example, in the U.S. the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act has provisions that limit, but do not necessarily eliminate, our
liability for listing, linking or hosting third-party content that includes
materials that infringe copyrights or other rights. The costs of compliance with
these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation.
Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to
significant liabilities. Similarly, the application of existing laws
prohibiting, regulating or requiring licenses for certain businesses of our
advertisers, including, for example, online gambling, distribution of
pharmaceuticals, adult content, financial services, alcohol or firearms, can be
unclear. Application of these laws in an unanticipated manner could expose us to
substantial liability and restrict our ability to deliver services to our users.
For example, some French courts have interpreted French trademark laws in ways
that would, if upheld, limit the ability of competitors to advertise in
connection with generic keywords.
We are
also subject to federal, state and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection
of user data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or
privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by
governmental authorities or others, which could potentially harm our business.
In addition, the interpretation of data protection laws, and their application
to the internet, in Europe and other foreign jurisdictions is unclear and in a
state of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in
conflicting ways from country to country and in a manner that is not consistent
with our current data protection practices. Complying with these varying
international requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and to have
to change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to protect our
users’ privacy and data could result in a loss of user confidence in our
services and ultimately in a loss of users, which would adversely affect our
business.
Risks
Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
Our
stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the
quoted bid prices if you need to sell a significant number of your
shares.
The
shares of our common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning
that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near
bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This
situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are
a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase
of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a
consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity
in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which
has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support
continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you
any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common
shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be
sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will
be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or
otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
Our
current stockholders are subject to substantial dilution if all of the currently
outstanding convertible promissory notes are converted.
As of
April 19, 2010, we had approximately 59,493,311 shares of common stock
outstanding. However, another 56,366,550 shares of our common stock
are currently issuable upon conversion of currently outstanding convertible
promissory notes. Accordingly, if these convertible promissory notes
were to be converted, our current stockholders’ interest in our company would be
decreased by 48%.
~ 14
~
Certain
convertible bond holders may have in the past and may currently have sold our
stock short and may profit from a decline in our stock price.
The
holders of our convertible promissory notes and detachable warrants issued to
OmniReliant Holdings during the second and third quarter of 2009, of which
$1,623,322 of convertible debentures and remains outstanding and
48,852,741 warrants remain outstanding as of December 31, 2009, all with
conversion prices and exercise prices of $0.10 per share, made certain negative
covenants within the Securities Purchase Agreement which governs the terms of
the convertible promissory notes such that they would not covenant not to sell
short the Company’s shares of common stock after the Company announced the
transactions consummation back in June 2009. The convertible notes
and warrants that were issued in connection with the convertible notes have
reset provisions, such that should the Company issue any instrument with an
effective price below the then current conversion price and exercise price, the
conversion price of the convertible notes and the exercise of the warrants would
decrease to that lower price. In addition, the number of warrant
shares also increases such that the original amount of proceeds to be received
on exercise remains constant. Thus OmniReliant could benefit
significantly from decreases in our stock price from selling short our stock,
such that they could profit from those short sales even if they were unable to
recover from their remaining outstanding convertible promissory notes while
being protected from losing money should our shares increase in value due to
having shares readily available to them through conversion or
exercise.
If
a more active market for our common stock develops, there is a significant risk
that our stock price may fluctuate dramatically which could negatively impact
your investment in our common stock.
There is
only a limited market for our common stock and a viable market for our common
stock may never develop further. If a more active market for our
common stock develops, there is a significant risk that our stock price may
fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following
factors, some of which are beyond our control including:
|
·
|
variations in our quarterly
operating results;
|
|
·
|
announcements that our revenue or
income are below or that costs or losses are greater than analysts’
expectations;
|
|
·
|
general economic
slowdowns;
|
|
·
|
sales of large blocks of our
common stock;
|
|
·
|
announcements by us or our
competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
|
·
|
fluctuations in stock market
prices and volumes;
|
|
·
|
concern by potential investors
that the large number of shares of common stock which may be sold pursuant
to this prospectus may have a downward effect upon the market price of the
stock; and
|
|
·
|
the occurrence of any of the
risks described in this
report.
|
Dramatic
fluctuations in the price of our common stock may make it difficult to sell our
common stock.
Failure
to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our
financial reporting.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or
prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. We may be required to
document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires increased
control over financial reporting requirements, including annual management
assessments of the effectiveness of such internal controls and a report by our
independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments.
Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment,
regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls, could also
cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which
could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
Because we are
subject to the “penny stock” rules, you may have difficulty in selling our
common stock.
Our
common stock is subject to regulations of the SEC relating to the market for
penny stocks. Penny stock, as defined by the Penny Stock Reform Act, is any
equity security not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on any
market of the NASDAQ Stock Market that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share. The penny stock regulations generally require that a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith be
delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose various sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors. The broker-dealer must make a
suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written
agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain
mandated disclosures, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid
offer quotations, as well as the compensation to be received by the
broker-dealer and certain associated persons. The regulations applicable to
penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for your common stock and
could limit your ability to sell your securities in the secondary
market.

As
an issuer of “penny stock”, the protection provided by the federal securities
laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although
federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements
made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws,
this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we
are a penny stock, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection
in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided
by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any
material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to
make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial
condition.
The
stock market in general has experienced volatility that often has been unrelated
to the operating performance of listed companies. These broad fluctuations may
be the result of unscrupulous practices that may adversely affect the price of
our stock, regardless of our operating performance.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17,
1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of
fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the
security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter
or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases
and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices
involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential
and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same
securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to
a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices
and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or
practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Our management
and directors, together with their family members, may control a sufficient
number of shares of our common stock to be able to prevent a change in
control.
Mr.
Robert J. McNulty, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mark V. Noffke,
our Executive Vice President of Finance and CFO, Mr. Jimmy White our Executive
Vice President of operations along with Mr. Murray Williams and Mr. Barry Falk
members of our board of directors collectively beneficially own approximately
1.6% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. However,
approximately 18.5% of our issued and outstanding stock is held by Linlithgow
Holdings LLC, an entity owned and controlled by the immediate family members of
Mr. Robert J. McNulty. Mr. McNulty is not a member or manager of Linlithgow
Holdings LLC and he disclaims any beneficial interests in these shares. Mr.
McNulty does not exercise any voting rights in respect of these shares nor does
he have any right to dispose of these shares. Nevertheless,
Linlithgow Holdings LLC could resist any change of control that would remove Mr.
McNulty or any of the other officers or directors and, together with Mr.
McNulty, Ms. Johnson, Mr. Noffke and Mr. Williams if they act in concert, can
exercise substantial influence over our business by virtue of their voting power
with respect to the election of directors and all other matters requiring action
by stockholders. Such concentration of share ownership may have the effect of
discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of this
company.
Substantial sales of our common stock
could cause our common stock price to fall.
Currently,
approximately 59,493,311 shares of our currently outstanding common
stock and another 56,366,550 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion
of currently outstanding convertible promissory notes are eligible to be sold
pursuant to Rule 144. The sale of these shares, or even the
possibility that substantial amounts of these shares of our common stock may be
sold in the public market, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our
common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of
our equity securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
The
following information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form
10-K.
Overview
This
company, formerly known as Reel Estate Services Inc. was incorporated in Nevada
as a development stage company on January 12, 2006 to create a web-based service
that lists properties across the globe that are available for rental and/or use
by film and television companies as filming locations. We never earned any
revenue from our former Reel Estate Services internet site, and in September
2007 prior management terminated those operations.
On
December 28, 2007 Reel Estate Services, Inc. acquired BoomJ.com, Inc. through a
triangular merger (the “Merger”) in which it issued 34,458,067 shares of common
stock to the former shareholders of BoomJ.com, Inc. For financial statement
purposes, our acquisition of Boomj.com, Inc. was treated as a reverse
acquisition as though BoomJ.com, Inc. had acquired us since the prior
shareholders’ of BoomJ.com, Inc. ended up with a majority ownership in our
stock.
During
the fourth quarter of 2009, we started a new company, KaChing KaChing and have
consolidated the operations of this entity into our fiscal 2009 operating
results. In November of 2008 we changed our name from Boomj, Inc. to
Beyond Commerce, Inc.
The goal
of this company is to generate revenues primarily from E-commerce transactions,
store licenses and website advertising. Throughout 2009, we operated BOOMj, www.BOOMj.com, the leading
niche portal and social networking site for Baby Boomers and Generation
Jones. Revenues from this website were derived from advertising sales
and E-commerce transactions effected through the on-line store on that
website. Our LocalAdLink subsidiary operated a website, www.LocalAdLink.com, and
a local search directory and advertising network that brings local advertising
to geo-targeted consumers. We started to generate revenues from sales
of local advertising through LocalAdLink after that product was released in
October 2008. On October 9, 2009, LocalAdLink Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, sold its LocalAdLink Software (the “Software”) and
all of their assets related to the Software including the rights to the name
LocalAdLink, the LocalAdLink trademark, the Web site, www.LocalAdLink.com
, and a local search directory and advertising network that brings local
advertising to geo-targeted consumers, (see Note 16). We will continue to
sell advertising as it had prior to inception of Local Ad Link, Inc., however on
a different scale with a greater emphasis on business to business
sales.
Another revenue
source, i-SUPPLY, www.i-SUPPLY.com, is a retail
storefront for any third party Websites that we commercially released in March
2009. A major component of our business strategy in 2009 was to
maximize revenues from E-commerce sales made through our BOOMj
Store. In order to be able to offer and sell products through that
website, we needed to obtain credit from the vendors of the products offered on
the website. Because of our weak financial condition in 2009,
we did not receive the amount of credit from vendors that we needed and, as a
result, we were not able to effectively operate the BOOMj Store (in fact, the
BOOMj Store had limited operations during the later part of
2009).
Our final
source of revenue in 2009 was KaChing KaChing, an early-stage
development company with a limited operating history that we launched its
website www.kachingkaching.com in September 2009. KaChing is a
progressive e-commerce company dedicated to offering of an e-commerce solution
that provides individual store owners the ability to create, manage and earn
money from product sales generated from their individual online web stores. This
business model is basically a retail chain of online stores serving consumers on
the Internet. KaChing offers back office that allows Store Owners to easily
manage their stores and track commissions, basically a complete turn-key
operation. A Store Owner is principally charged with marketing and managing his
website. In addition, a Store Owner can, depending on his license,
recruit other store owners and receive a recruiting
bonus.
We
reported a consolidated net loss of $11,656,030 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2009, a consolidated net loss of $13,595,294 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2008. The loss in 2009 was principally
attributable to increase in operating costs, as more fully explained in
“Operating Expenses” below.
We sold
our LocalAdLink operations in October 2009 and revenue and expenses related to
LocalAdLink have been segregated into one line item in the statement of
operations titled “Loss from discontinued operations before income
taxes.”
Results
of Operations — Revenues
Our goal
is to generate revenues from the sale of various products to our website users
and from advertising fees. We operated our Boomj.com website throughout
2009. However, we only commenced our i-SUPPLY operations during the second
quarter of 2009 and our KaChing KaChing operations during the end of the third
quarter of 2009. Our revenues decreased from $1,060,272 to $903,852. This
decrease in merchandise sales from $1,060,272 to $95,595 resulted from a
restriction in the credit lines with our sundry vendors and the timing of the
relaunching of the i-SUPPLY E-commerce social selling platform which occured
late in the third quarter 2009. However, a new product offering was
established within i-SUPPLYand KaChing KaChing, Inc. reflecting store licensing
and membership revenue of $808,257 compared to zero in 2008.
Throughout
2009 until October we had $13,049,619 in revenue which was derived from
LocalAdLink operations which is reflected in “Loss
from discontinued operations before income taxes.” Because we sold
LocalAdLink we will not generate revenues from this entity. Accordingly,
we anticipate that our revenues in 2010 will be less than the revenues derived
in 2009.

Operating
Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses (SG&A), including related party
expenditures, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 (“fiscal
2009”) were $5,328,193. This reflects a decrease of $911,763 in SG&A
expenses from the $6,239,956 reported for the twelve month period ended December
31, 2008 (“fiscal 2008). The change in SG&A expenses is attributable to
decreased advertising and marketing and promotional costs from fiscal
2008. There
were also increases in administrative, technical and marketing personnel,
related payroll costs, and an increase in travel related costs as well as
computer and internet and merchant fees. Our SG&A expenses are expected to
decrease during the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 as we decrease
our operations and advertising due to a large extent, to the disposition of
LocalAdLink, and as we streamline our operations. Professional fees for the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 were $2,058,914. The largest
component of professional fees consists of services rendered in connection with
the design and establishment of our websites and Internet related activities, as
well as legal and accounting fees. This reflects an increase of $738,568 in
professional fees as compared to $1,320,346 for fiscal 2008. Included in the
professional fees and SG&A are non-cash items of $1,795,397 for the year
ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $1,703,459 for fiscal 2008 in stock
issued in exchange for a variety of consulting services and employee
options.
Depreciation
and amortization expense for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 was
$198,873. This reflects an increase of $73,739 in depreciation and amortization
expense from the $181,134 reported for the period ended December 31, 2008. The
increase in expense is attributable to the amortization of the asset additions
during the period ended December 31, 2009. Interest expense, of $8,585,204
for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 reflects an increase of
$5,259,542 from the interest expense of $3,325,662 of which $2,177,051 was to a
related party in fiscal 2009.The loan discount relates to the sundry loans
procured by us during the year ended December 31, 2007, fiscal 2008 and fiscal
2009. Interest expense also includes non-cash expenses related to the value of
warrants issued to investors who invested in our convertible notes and the
related debt discounts from beneficial conversion features or allocating the
loan proceeds between the debt and equity issued. Our increase in interest
expense is due to loan fees and loan discount amortization expenses of
$7,791,100. The loan discount relates to the sundry loans procured by us during
2007, 2008 and 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of
$13,072,314. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 were only
$7,205, a decrease of $92,881 from the balance of $100,086 at December 31,
2008. Much of our liquidity and capital resources during fiscal 2009
were derived through the sale of convertible debt and equity securities. No
assurance can be made that we will have access to the capital markets in future,
or that financing will be available on acceptable terms to satisfy our future
and on-going cash requirements that we need to implement its business
strategies. Our inability to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable
financing could have a material adverse affect on its results of operations and
financial condition, and could severely threaten our ability to continue as a
going concern.
As shown
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we incurred a loss of
$11,656,030 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009. Our current
liabilities less debt and derivatives exceeded current assets by $4,814,258 at
December 31, 2009, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activities
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $2,241,398. In
addition, on January 31, 2010 we were unable to pay our secured convertible
promissory note holders the amounts due to them as the notes had
matured. Under the terms of the notes, the holders may at any time
elect to notify us of the default and foreclose on essentially all of our
assets. In addition, the OmniReliant notes contain cross default
provisions, such that those notes are also in default due to our being in
default of the secured convertible promissory notes. The total amount
outstanding on these notes as of December 31, 2009 was
$5,023.322. These factors, and our lack of ability to meet our
obligations from current operations, and the need to raise additional capital to
accomplish our objectives, create a substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
~ 20
~
We
currently do not have sufficient funds on hand to fund our on-going day to day
operating expenses. We have been unable to pay our employees since the fourth
quarter of 2009, and a limited amount of money has gone to
vendors. In February 2010, we temporarily move out of our office
space. We do not have any bank credit lines. Accordingly, we will
have to obtain additional funding in the near future in order to continue our
operations. Although the amount of revenues that we are now generating from our
existing operations (excluding LocalAdLink, which we sold in 2009) is increasing
gradually on a monthly basis, we do not anticipate that we will generate
sufficient cash from operations to fund our working capital needs until the
second half of 2010, at the earliest. (Although LocalAdLink generated
approximately $13,050,000 of revenues in fiscal 2009, those operations also had
a net loss of $7,580,839.) Also, as noted above, we currently have in excess of
$5 million of secured promissory notes that are in default and thus immediately
due and payable. In addition, in February 2010, the US Treasury
placed a lien on essentially all of the assets of Boomj.com Inc. because of
approximately $700,000 of unpaid payroll taxes. Accordingly to
continue operating and to fund operations for the next twelve months, we
will have to continue to seek additional financing from various sources in the
immediate future, including from the sale of convertible debt or equity
securities and possibly from joint ventures, partnerships, and other strategic
relationships. We have not yet identified, and cannot be sure that we
will be able to obtain any additional funding from either of these sources, or
that the terms under which we may be able to obtain such funding will be
beneficial to us. In addition we are maximizing the margins in our remaining
product lines and expanding the capabilities of the widget technologies
of our i-SUPPLY division along with identifying some strategic
partners to assist in the distribution channels through product and operating
lines of credit. If we do not obtain sufficient additional funds in the
immediate future, we will have to suspend some of our operations, scale down our
current and proposed future operations or, if those actions are not sufficient,
terminate our operations. Should we obtain financing at a price below $0.10 per
share of our common stock, additional substantial dilution to our existing
shareholders will occur. Although our revenues will be less, we
believe that our cash flow from operations may improve in 2010 because
LocalAdLink utilized substantial resources, which we no longer have to support,
We believe the KaChing KaChing, revenue stream to have higher margins and be
more cost effective as it ramps up.
All of
the convertible notes that we have issued during the past year in order to fund
our working capital needs mature during 2010 (most of which matured on January
31, 2010). Accordingly, in addition to having to raise funds to
continue to operate, we also will have to raise funds to repay these convertible
notes (to the extent that such notes are not converted by the
holders). Alternatively, we will have to try to obtain loan
extensions or forbearances from the noteholders. As of December 31,
2009, the total amount of our short-term borrowings was
$6,356,655. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain
extensions or forbearances from all of our note holders should we be unable to
raise the necessary capital to retire the debt currently
outstanding.
If we are unable to obtain additional funds through debt or equity
financing or if funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we will be
required to delay, scale back or eliminate our plans to develop and expand
operations or in the extreme situation, cease operations altogether.
Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in continuing operating activities for the twelve months period ended
December 31, 2009 was $2,241,398. This was mainly attributable from the use of
cash in operations as we established new businesses and operations. Accounts
Receivable decreased $21,274 to $10,697 on December 31, 2009. This decrease was
attributable to collection of old advertising sales. The credit card payments
for prior year sales were subsequently captured during 2009. Accounts Payable on
December 31, 2009 was $2,278,347, an increase of $355,144 from the balance on
December 31, 2008. The increase is attributed mainly to professional fees
incurred and unpaid.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in continuing investing activities for the twelve month period ended
December 31, 2009 was $96,155, a decrease of $26,155 compared to
the $112,310 used in continuing investing activities for the twelve
month period ended December 31, 2008. The company expended cash for purchase of
computer and office equipment and expenditures related to its business
development.
Financing
Activities
Net cash
provided by continuing financing activities for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2009 was $7,342,053, an increase of $1,490,355 from the net
cash provided by continuing financing activities for the twelve month period
ended December 31, 2008. The cash provided during 2009 is due
primarily to net cash received from the sale of debt securities of
$8,930,000. During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009,
we repaid $1,657,947 of debt securities and converted $2,400,000 of secured debt
into shares of common stock. We also received $820,000 from the
issuance of 8,025,000 shares of Company common stock.
As a
result of the above activities, we experienced a net decrease in cash of $92,881
for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009. Our ability to continue as
a going concern is dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing
from investors through the sale of its securities and through a continued
increase in revenues.

Other
We do not
believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business or
operations.
We are
not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, and we do not engage in
trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In addition, we have
no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or other arrangements that
could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value
of our assets
Going
Concern
This
company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the company has an
accumulated deficit of $30,279,715 on December 31, 2009 and will need to raise
additional capital, or obtain financing to continue operations. The enclosed
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should this company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Management
is taking steps to address our operating and financial cash requirements, which
steps, if successful, will, we believe, l be sufficient to provide the company
with the ability to continue operations in next twelve months. Management has
devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital and improving the
company’s operations, while reducing operating expenses. However, the
company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising funds
through debt and equity financing and generating revenue. There are no
assurances this company will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue
necessary to fund operations. This raises substantial doubt about this Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Application
of Critical Accounting Policies

All
sources of revenue are recorded in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“FASC”) 605-45-45, Revenue Recognition - Principal
Agent Considerations when persuasive evidence of arrangement exists,
delivery of services has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Beginning
July 1, 2007, we began accounting for stock options under the provisions of ASC
718, Stock
Compensation, which requires the recognition of the fair value of
stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions for ASC
718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the
fair value of the awards expected to vest and is recognized as expense ratably
over the requisite service period of the award. We have used the Black-Scholes
valuation model to estimate fair value of our stock-based awards which require
various judgmental assumptions including estimating price volatility and
expected life. Our computation of expected volatility is based on a combination
of historic and market-based implied volatility. In addition, we consider many
factors when estimating expected life, including types of awards and historical
experience. If any of these assumptions used in the Black-Scholes valuation
model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ
materially in the future from what is recorded in the current
period.
The
Company follows the guidance of FASC 505-50 share based payments to non
employees Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services” for transactions in which equity instruments are
issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services to non
employees.
Issuance
of Shares for Service
The
Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and
services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of
the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably
measurable.

In May
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May
Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement), or
FSP APB 14-1. FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt
instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should separately
account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect
the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized
in subsequent periods. We are required to adopt FSP APB 14-1 at the beginning of
2009 and apply FSP APB 14-1 retrospectively to all periods
presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP APB
14-1 on our results of operations and financial condition.

Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer (“Certifying Officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon such evaluation, the Certifying
Officers have concluded that, as of the end of such period, December 31, 2009,
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, to allow timely
decisions regarding such disclosure.
Management’s
report on internal control over financial reporting
Management
of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of
the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company maintains processes designed by,
or under the supervision of the Company’s management, including but not limited
to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Accounting Officer, or
persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of
directors, management and other personnel, 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 including policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and disposition of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are
being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of
the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The
Company has an Audit Committee that meets periodically with management to review
the manner in which they are performing their responsibilities and to discuss
auditing, internal accounting controls and financial reporting
matters.
Management
has conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting using the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as a basis to
evaluate effectiveness and determined that internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive and Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
is not effective due to
the material weakness noted below. A
material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The
following material weakness has been identified. The Company downsized its
workforce in 2009 and at December 31, 2009 did not have sufficient people to
support its internal control over financial reporting which impacted its
financial close process.
~ 24
~
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our
internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the
company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in internal controls over financial reporting
Due to
significant reductions in the number of employees we did not have sufficient
people to meet the requirements of our internal control over financial
reporting. Other than the significant decrease in employees,there were no
other significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter
ended December 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.

Equity
Incentive Plan
On
September 11, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted Beyond Commerce’s 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan, and on June 12, 2009 the Board amended the plan to increase the
number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan from
3,500,000 to 7,000,000. Effective April 1, 2010, the Board of
Directors further increased the number of shares issuable under the 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan by 10,000,000 to a total of 17,000,000 shares. On July
24, 2009 the Plan was submitted to, and approval by our stockholders
at the 2009 Annual Meeting of stockholders. Under the 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan, we are currently authorized to grant options, restricted stock
and stock appreciation rights to purchase up to 17,000,000 shares of common
stock to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisors. Awards under the plan may consist of stock options (both
non- qualified options and options intended to qualify as “Incentive Stock
Options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended),
restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights.
~ 29
~
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or a committee
appointed by the Board, which determines the persons to whom awards will be
granted, the type of award to be granted, the number of awards to be granted and
the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the
provisions of the plan.
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan provides that the exercise price of each incentive stock
option may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding
more than 10% of our outstanding common stock). The exercise price of
a non-qualified stock option shall be no less than the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The maximum number of options that
may be granted in any fiscal year to any participant is 5,000,000.
The plan
also permits the grant of freestanding stock appreciation rights or in tandem
with option awards. The grant price of a stock appreciation right shall be no
less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant of the stock
appreciation right. No stock appreciation right shall be exercisable later than
the tenth anniversary of its grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation
right, a participant shall be entitled to receive common stock at a fair market
value equal to the benefit to be received by the exercise.
The plan
also provides us with the ability to grant or sell shares of common stock that
are subject to certain transferability, forfeiture, repurchase or other
restrictions. The type of restriction, the number of shares of
restricted stock granted and other such provisions shall be determined by our
Board of Directors or its committee.
Unless
otherwise determined by our Board of Directors or its committee, awards granted
under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan are not transferable other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan provides that, except as set forth in an individual award
agreement, upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction: (1) our Board of
Directors or its committee shall notify each participant at least thirty (30)
days prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction or as soon as may be
practicable and (2) all options and stock appreciation rights shall terminate
and all restricted stock shall be forfeited immediately prior to the
consummation of such corporate transaction unless the committee determines
otherwise in its sole discretion. A “corporate transaction” means (1)
a liquidation or dissolution of the company; (2) a merger or consolidation of
the company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger with
a wholly-owned subsidiary); or (3) a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the company.
Our Board
of Directors may alter, amend or terminate the plan in any respect at any time,
but no alteration, amendment or termination will adversely affect in any
material way any award previously granted under the plan, without the written
consent of the participant holding such award.
Long-Term

ITEM 13. CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Our full
board of directors is responsible for reviewing and approving or ratifying all
related party transactions. Although there is no written policy in
this regard, it is the practice of our board to review all material facts of
interested transactions and take into account, among other factors it determines
appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable
than terms generally available to any similarly situated, unrelated third
parties under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the person’s
interest in the transaction. Additionally, board approval of any
interested party transaction must include the affirmative vote of at least a
majority of our non-employee directors. We have since January
1, 2009 been involved in the following related party transactions, each of which
was reviewed and approved by our full board of directors:
Related
Party Transactions
We have
related party transaction with Linlithgow Holdings, LLC, an entity that owns
approximately 19% of our outstanding common stock. Linlithgow Holdings is a
family trust of the McNulty family. Mr. McNulty, our Chief Executive Officer has
no voting control over the holdings of Linlithgow Holdings and disclaims
beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Linlithgow Holdings.

·

The
Company permits TAC Financial, Inc. to use some of its facilities at its
Nevada headquarters. TAC Financial has not paid the Company for
the use of the facilities. In 2009, the Company commenced
paying the commissions it owed to its LocalAdLink independent consultants
through the use TAC Financials VISA debit card. The Company
does not pay TAC Financial for loading payments onto the debit cards,
although the card holders are charged fees for the use of the debit
cards. Linlithgow Holdings, LLC currently owns over 85% of the
issued and outstanding shares of TAC Financial. Linlithgow
Holdings, LLC is the largest shareholder of this Company and is a family
trust of the McNulty family. Mr. McNulty, our Chief Executive

disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Linlithgow
Holdings. Two members of TAC Financials Board of Directors are
the sons of Robert McNulty (our Chief Executive Officer). We no
longer own LocalAdLink and, as a result, no longer engage in any
transactions with TAC Financial.

On May 20, 2009, the Company
executed a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal
amount of $1,600,000 payable to Linlithgow Holdings. Pursuant
to the Note, the Company promises to pay to Linlithgow Holdings $1,600,000
in cash on November 20, 2009. A principal payment was made on July 21,
2009 of $266,667 leaving a balance of $1,333,333. The Note is convertible
at any time at a conversion price of $1.00 per share which was reset to
$0.70 due to a subsequent offering. The Note bears an initial
interest rate of 1.5% for the first month and increases by 1.5% per month
until maturity. After the maturity date, the default rate of interest
becomes 18% per month or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is
lower, until the date the Note amount is actually paid. Further, as part
of the consideration provided to the holder for the Note, the Holder also
received a warrant for the purchase of up to 1,782,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. The
warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part, any time from and after the
date of issuance of the warrant. Due to a subsequent ratchet adjustment
based on the issuance of warrants at a lower per share price, the exercise
price of these warrants has been adjusted to $0.70. and the convertible
note ratcheted down to $0.10 per share. This note was subsequently
extended by mutual agreement until May 20, 2010. As part of the extension
the interest rate was reduced to 6.0% and the conversion price was
ratcheted down to $0.10 per share. In consideration for this extension, we
granted Linlithgow 6,400,000 warrants to purchase our common stock at
$0.10.
|
|
·
|
During 2009 and 2008, we paid
Linlithgow Holdings a total of $215,213 and $53,450 respectively for
consulting services and advertising commissions rendered to
us.
|
|
·
|
In 2009 & 2008, we paid FA
Corp. a total of $37,114 and $102,673 respectively for various
services provided to us by Mr. Murray Williams. Mr. Williams is
a member of our Board of Directors and the principal stockholder of FA
Corp. Another one of our directors Mr. Barry Falk is a partner in
the law firm Irvine Venture Law Firm. The
Company paid $425 in 2009 and $336 in 2008 for legal services provided to
the Company by Mr. Falk’s firm.
|

transactions with the Omni group and Zurvita, which the two have related
ownership. In 2009 we sold 8,000,000 shares of the Company
common stock to Zurvita for $800,000 giving them a 13.6% ownership in the
Company. This transaction was part of the asset sale of
LocalAdLink. (Exhibit 10.37). We have an
outstanding secured promissory note at December 31,
2009 with the Omni Group (who has common ownership with
Zurvita) of $1,623,322.

Director
Independence
Although
a majority of our Board of Directors is comprised of non-employee directors,
only one half of our board is comprised of “independent” directors as defined in
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Market place Rules of the NASDAQ Stock
Market. Our independent directors are Barry Falk, Michael Warsinske
and Ron Loveless. Through FA Corp., a consulting company affiliated
with Murray Williams, we paid Mr. Williams a total of $37,114 in
2009. We also paid $425 in 2009 for legal services provided to the
Company by Mr. Falk’s firm. However, our board determined that the
small amount of fees we paid to Mr. Falk’s law firm during 2009 did not prevent
it from reaching a determination that Mr. Falk is independent. Robert
McNulty, our chief executive officer, is not an independent
director.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Beyond Commerce, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Beyond Commerce, Inc. as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Beyond Commerce, Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company reflected a loss of approximately $11,656,030
and $13,595,294 in 2009 and 2008, respectively and will need to raise additional
capital to fund operations in 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding
those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
As
discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, management changed its policy
for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to the
Company’s own stock. As required by generally accepted accounting principles the
Company retroactively applied the accounting change to 2008.

TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
Beyond
Commerce, Inc., formerly known as BOOMj, Inc. (the “Company”, and “we”), is an
Internet company that has two interrelated business models aimed at generating
revenues primarily from Web site advertising and E-commerce transactions.
Our initial business was
BOOMj.com, Inc., www.BOOMj.com , a
niche portal and social networking site for Baby Boomers and Generation
Jones. Our BOOMj.com Web site provides social, political, financial, and
lifestyle content to the Baby Boomer/Generation Jones target audience as a
platform for our advertising and E-commerce businesses. Our LocalAdLink subsidiary
operates a website, a local search directory and advertising network that brings
local advertising to geo-targeted consumers. On October 9, 2009,
LocalAdLink Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company sold its LocalAdLink
Software (the “Software”) and all of their assets related to the Software
including the rights to the name LocalAdLink, the LocalAdLink trademark,
the Web site,
www.LocalAdLink.com , and a local search directory
and advertising network that brings local advertising to geo-targeted
consumers. The Company will continue to sell advertising as it had prior
to inception of Local Ad Link, Inc., however on a different scale with a greater
emphasis on business to business sales.
During
the second quarter we relaunched i-SUPPLY, www.i-SUPPLY.com,
an online storefront that offers easy to use, fully customizable E-commerce
services, and revenue solutions for any third party Web site large or small, and
hosts local ads, providing extensive reach for our proprietary advertising
partner network platform. During the third quarter of 2009 the Company
started another subsidiary, KaChing KaChing, which is an E-commerce platform

History
of the Company
The
Company, formerly known as Reel Estate Services, Inc. (“RES”), was incorporated
in Nevada on January 12, 2006. As of December 28, 2007, RES was a public
shell company, defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as an inactive,
publicly quoted company with nominal assets and liabilities. Subsequent to
the Merger, RES changed its name to Boomj, Inc.
In
December 2008, the Company changed its name once again from BOOMj, Inc. to
Beyond Commerce, Inc. to more accurately reflect the new structure of the
Company consisting at that point in time of two operating divisions:
BOOMj.com dba i-SUPPLY and until its assets were sold, LocalAdLink,
Inc. (see Note 18).
The
Company currently maintains its corporate office in Henderson,
Nevada.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
Management
is responsible for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements,
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
and principles of consolidations.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries: Local Ad Link, Inc., Boomj.com and KaChing KaChing, Inc. All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon
consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in the
determination of depreciation and amortization and the valuation for non-cash
issuances of equity instruments, and the website, income taxes and
contingencies, among others.
F-6
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents amounts on deposit in banks and
cash temporarily in various instruments with original maturities of three months
or less at the time of purchase. The Company’s cash management system is
integrated within three separate banking institutions.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consists primarily of credit card charges which are collected within
one to five days.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of the current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due
to their relatively short maturities except for certain of the short-term
borrowings which are net of a $776,122 debt discount in 2009 and
$2,527,945 in 2008.
Reclassifications
Certain
comparative amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation. These changes did not affect previously reported
net loss.
Segment
Information
The
Company’s Operations Are Classified Into three Principal Reportable Segments:
Internet retail store, its e-commerce operations (BOOMj.com
dba i-SUPPLY), an e-commerce Store Licensing business KaChing
KaChing, Inc. and internet advertising (Local Ad Link)
Property,
Website and Computer Equipment
Property,
website and computer equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
income as incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements that
extend the life of the asset are capitalized. The initial cost of the Boomj.com
website has been capitalized. Once the site began operating, costs to maintain
the site are expensed as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation
and amortization related to assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts
and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income in the period of
disposal.
The
Company accounts for web site costs in accordance FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (“FASC”). Costs
associated with the web site application and infrastructure development stage
are capitalized. Amortization of costs commences once the web site is
ready for its intended use which occurred when the website was launched in
2007.
For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization is provided on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable
assets. Financial reporting provisions for depreciation and amortization
are generally based on the following annual rates and estimated useful
lives:

Income
Taxes
The
Company will account for income taxes under FASC 740-10-30. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between
the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the
assets will not be realized. 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 the statements of operations in the period that includes
the enactment date.
F-7
The
Company follows the guidance of FASC 740-10-25 in determinating
whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be
recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the
tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent
(50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The
Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income
tax benefits.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates its revenue from products, store licensing and advertising
sold on its internet websites. The BOOMj.com store’s and i-SUPPLY’s database has
available close to two million name brand products. These items include books,
digital cameras, kitchen and bath items and office supplies. Revenue from Store
Licenses allows members to access and display on their individual website the
Company’s proprietary database I- supply. This retail storefront
environment offers easy to use, fully customizable E-commerce services, and
revenue solutions for any third party website large or small, and hosts local
ads, providing extensive reach for our proprietary advertising partner network
platform.
Revenue
is also generated from advertising products consist of web-banner advertising,
which are continuous or rotating. Delivery of these profiles is based on the
number of impressions of an advertisement that
a customer purchases. An impression is a single instance of an Internet user
viewing the page that contains a customer's name and/or logo. Revenue is
recognized on such advertising programs based on the proportionate units of
advertising delivered over the period of a media campaign. The Company also sold
a marketing kit through their Local Ad Link division. The kit was
comprised of ten one month duration ads. The sales reps had the option to sell
the ten ads as a commissionable sale or to give them away as a free promotional
tool.
The
Company follows FASC 605-10-S99-1 for revenue recognition. The
Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.
The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all
of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to
the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv)
collectability is reasonably assured. In
connection with advertising revenue, the Company receives certain upfront fees a
portion of which they defer recognition in accordance with FASB accounting
guidance and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104.
Corresponding
revenue origination costs are accounted for under the guidance provided in SAB
104.
Revenue
is recorded net of discounts, allowances, and estimated returns.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company from time to time, may issue compensatory stock options or shares to
employees, consultants, and other service providers under its 2008 Equity
incentive plan. In some cases, it has issued compensatory warrants to service
providers outside the 2008 Equity incentive plan. The Company issues new shares
of its Common stock when employees or service providers exercise options or
warrants. All
equity-based compensation awarded has been determined under the fair value
provisions of ASC 718. This compensation is then expensed over the vesting
period of the underlying award. Additionally, for all equity-based compensation
awarded prior to the adoption date, compensation for the portion of awards for
which the requisite service is performed after the adoption date is recognized
as service is rendered.
Stock-based
compensation for awards granted to non-employees is periodically remeasured as
the underlying options and warrants vest. The Company recognizes an expense for
such awards throughout the performance period as the services are provided by
the non-employees, based on the fair value of these options and warrants at each
reporting period.
F-8
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock issuances based on the closing market
value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consists principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At
various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured
limits. To mitigate this risk, the Company places its cash deposits only with
high credit quality institutions. Management believes the risk of loss is
minimal.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASC
360-10-35-21, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. This statement
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be 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
amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are determined based on
quoted market value, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals,
as applicable. During 2009 and 2008, the Company did not recognize any
impairment charges.
Employee
Benefits
The
Company currently offers employees vacation benefits and recently began offering
a healthcare plan. During 2009, the shareholders approved the 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan at the shareholder annual meeting held on July 24,
2009.
Inventories
The
Company does not carry any inventory and has its vendors or distributors ship
directly to the consumer based on confirmed orders provided electronically by
the Company.
Valuation
of Derivative Instruments
US
GAAP requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and
assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants and
non-employee stock-options to determine whether they should be considered a
derivative liability and subject to re-measurement at their fair value. In
estimating the appropriate fair value, the Company uses both binomial and
Black Scholes models, depending on the complexity and terms of the specific
embedded or free-standing derivative.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company applies the fair value hierarchy as established by US
GAAP. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the
consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment
associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value as
follows.
|
·
|
Level 1 – quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
|
|
·
|
Level 2 – other significant
observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with
market data at the measurement
date.
|
|
·
|
Level 3 – significant
unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market
participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the
measurement date.
|
Management
considers all of its derivative liabilities to be Level 3
liabilities. There were no movements between levels during 2009 or
2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company had outstanding
derivative liabilities, including those from related parties (see Notes 8, 9 and
18) of $2,606,105and $3,396,935.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and related
disclosures. This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We
adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2008, as required for our financial
assets and financial liabilities. However, the FASB deferred the effective date
of this new guidance for one year as it relates to fair value measurement
requirements for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not
recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. We adopted these
remaining provisions on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this accounting
guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting
requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative
arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. It
also establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and
classification for joint operating activities and payments between participants,
as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related to those arrangements.
This new accounting guidance was effective for us on January 1, 2009, and
its adoption did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the
accounting for non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements.
This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. This guidance requires that non-controlling interests in
subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the controlling company’s
balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the
subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income
statement. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009, and it
had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to business
combinations. The guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an
acquirer entity recognized and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable asset acquired, the liabilities assumed and any controlling
interests in the acquired entity; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired
in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. Costs of the acquisition will be recognized separately from
the business combination. The new guidance was effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company has considered this standard when
evaluating current and potential transactions to which it would
apply.
F-9
In June
2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying that non-forfeitable
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities prior to vesting and, therefore, should be included in the earnings
allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The
two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats participating
securities as having the same rights to earnings as available to common
shareholders. The adoption of the new guidance in first quarter 2009 did not
impact reported basic and diluted earnings per share amounts because the company
did not have any non-forfeitable instruments granted in share based payment
transactions.
In
November 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on equity method
investment accounting considerations. The new guidance generally continues
existing practices under the equity method of accounting for investments in
common stock including the use of a cost-accumulation approach to initial
measurement of the investment. The new guidance does not require the investor to
perform a separate impairment test on the underlying assets of an equity method
investment. However, an equity-method investor is required to recognize its
proportionate share of impairment charges recognized by the investee, adjusted
for basis differences, if any, between the investee’s carrying amount for the
impaired assets and the cost allocated to such assets by the investor. The new
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years and shall be applied
prospectively. We adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2009, the
result of which did not have a material impact on the Company since we currently
have no equity method investments.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance concerning
disclosures about transfers of financial assets and interests in variable
interest entities. The new guidance includes disclosure objectives and requires
public entities to provide additional year-end and interim disclosures about
transfers of financial assets and involvement with variable interest entities.
The requirements apply to transferors, sponsors, servicers, primary
beneficiaries, and holders of significant variable interests in a
variable-interest entity or qualifying special purpose entity. The new guidance
is effective for the first interim period or fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2008. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the guidance.
Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on fair value
measurements. The new guidance impacts certain aspects of fair value measurement
and related disclosures. The new guidance was effective beginning in the second
quarter of 2009. The impact of adopting this new guidance did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the accounting
and disclosures of subsequent events. This guidance incorporates the subsequent
events guidance contained in the auditing standards literature into
authoritative accounting literature. It also requires entities to disclose the
date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date
corresponds with the release of their financial statements. This guidance is
effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We
adopted this guidance upon its issuance and it is discussed in these
consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the
accounting and disclosures for transfers of financial assets. This guidance will
require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized
financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains
some risk with respect to the assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance
on January 1, 2010 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to improve financial
reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities and to provide
more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This
guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will
have on our consolidated financial statements.
F-10
In
June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new
accounting guidance entitled, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of
FASB Statement No. 162” (“ASC”), which identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP. This new guidance is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009 and was adopted by the Company during the third quarter of 2009. The
adoption of this guidance has changed how we reference various elements of GAAP
when preparing our financial statement disclosures, but did not have an impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2009, the accounting standard regarding arrangements that include
software elements was updated to require tangible products that contain software
and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential
functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple
deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be adopted no later than
January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or
retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. We are
currently evaluating the impact this new standard update will have on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2009, the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable
arrangements was updated to require the use of the relative selling price method
when allocating revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows
a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific
objective evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when
evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update must be
adopted no later than January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for
revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of
adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods
presented. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard update will have
on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance regarding improving disclosures about
fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures related to
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 as well as activity in Level 3 fair
value measurements. The guidance also provides clarification to existing
disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our
effective date for the new disclosures and clarifications is the quarter ending
March 31, 2010. Our effective date for the disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements is January 1, 2011. When effective, we will comply with the
disclosure provisions of this new guidance.
NOTE
3 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended December 31,
2009, the Company generated a consolidated net loss of $11,656,030 (2008 -
$13,595,294) and realized a negative cash flow from operating activities of
$6,828,844 (2008 - $5,740,549). At the end of 2009, there is an
accumulated deficit of $30,279,715 (2008 - $18,623,685) and a working capital
deficiency of $13,072,314 (2008 - $8,097,026). The Company will need to raise
additional capital and/or obtain financing in the second quarter of 2010 to
continue operations in 2010. In
addition, on January 31, 2010 we were unable to pay our secured convertible
promissory note holders the amounts due to them as the notes had
matured. Under the terms of the notes, the holders may at any time
elect to notify us of the default and foreclose on essentially all of our
assets. In addition, the OmniReliant notes contain cross default
provisions, such that those notes are also in default due to our being in
default of the secured convertible promissory notes. The total amount
outstanding on these notes as of December 31, 2009 was
$5,023,322. These factors, and our lack of ability to meet our
obligations from current operations, and the need to raise additional capital to
accomplish our objectives, create a substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management
is taking steps to raise additional funds to address its operating and financial
cash requirements to continue operations in the next twelve months. Management
has devoted a significant amount of time in the raising of capital from
additional debt and equity financing. However, the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional funds through debt and
equity financing and generating revenue. There are no assurances the Company
will receive the necessary funding or generate revenue necessary to fund
operations. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, or if the funds cannot
be obtained on terms favorable to us, we will be required to delay, scale
back or eliminate our plans to continue to develop and expand our operations or
in the extreme situation, cease operations altogether.

On March
21, 2008 the Company issued a 12% Convertible Note to Carole Harder, an
accredited investor in exchange for $140,000 originally due March 20, 2009. In
connection with the note, the Company issued to the investor a five-year warrant
to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.93 per share.
This warrant was valued using the Black–Scholes method at $0.136 per share,
resulting in a total value of $27,288 assuming a fair value per share of $0.30,
risk-free interest rate of 2.50% and 83% volatility index. In addition there is
a conversion option to exchange the amount outstanding into the shares of the
Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. We allocated
the proceeds from the issuance of this note and the warrants based on the
relative fair value for each item. Consequently, we recorded a discount of
$22,837 on the note, which is being amortized over the term of the note using
the effective interest method resulting in an effective interest rate of
approximately 25%. The maturity date of this note has been extended
until January 31, 2010. The company is currently in technical default on
this note.
On
December 28, 2007, RES raised $500,000 in a private offering to accredited
investors of its 12% Secured Convertible one-year promissory notes. These notes
have a voluntary conversion feature to convert into a unit from a contemplated
offering, each unit comprised of (i) one share of stock at $0.70 per unit and
(ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.93 per share. In addition, on December 28, 2007, the Company issued warrants
to the placement agent as financing fees to purchase 71,429 shares of its common
stock at an exercise price of $0.93 per share. The warrant vested
immediately and expires in five years. It was valued by the Company at $12,853.
Additional promissory notes in conjunction with this same offering were sold by
the Company on January 25, 2008 and February 8, 2008 for $1,230,000 and
$550,000, respectively. The promissory notes were scheduled to mature on March
31, 2009 which was extended until January 31, 2010. The company is
currently in technical default of this note. The purchasers of the December 28,
2007, January and February 2008 promissory notes also received warrants to
purchase 3,257,143 shares of our common stock exercisable at $0.93 per share
expiring in 2013, which was valued using the Black–Scholes method at $0.177 per
share. This resulted in a total value of $577,769 assuming a fair value per
share of $0.30, risk-free interest rate range of 3.25% to 5.25% based on the
note issuance and 100% volatility index. Consequently, we recorded a discount of
$460,952 on the notes, which is being amortized over the term of these
notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate
between 26% and 27%. In addition, on January 25, 2008 and February 8, 2008, the
Company issued warrants to the placement agent as financing fees to purchase
175,714 and 78,571 respectively, shares of its common stock at an exercise price
of $0.93 per share. The warrant vested immediately and expires in five
years. These warrants were valued by the Company at $44,882. The Company has
also granted, to these investors, a security interest in all its
assets.
F-13
In
addition to the above terms of the 12% secured convertible promissory notes, the
Company granted to the January and February 2008 note-holders “piggyback”
registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable under those notes and warrants. The Company also agreed with the
note-holders that in the event all of the shares underlying their warrants have
not otherwise been included in a registration statement filed by the Company
with the SEC on or prior to May 1, 2008, other than for certain specified
reasons, then, as partial relief for the damages to the investors, the Company
shall pay to the noteholders an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of
the original cash consideration invested by the noteholders for each 30 day
period during which the registration statement is not effective. Since a
registration statement was not filed by June 30, 2008, the Company accrued
$45,000 as a penalty charge. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008,
this registration obligation and the requirement to pay penalties was waived by
the majority of noteholders and the accrual was reversed.
In
addition, during 2008, the Company raised $2,025,000, in a private offering from
accredited investors. The securities sold by the Company consisted of its
12% secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase 2,892,858
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.93 per
share. The notes are convertible at a price of $0.70 per share, are
secured by a lien on the Company’s assets and on the assets of Boomj.com, Inc.,
and mature on July 31, 2009. The warrants were valued using the
Black–Scholes method at $0.767per share. This resulted in a total value of
$2,218,822 assuming a fair value per share of $1.00, risk-free interest rate of
3.32% and 100% volatility index. We allocated the proceeds from
issuance of these notes and warrants based on the relative fair value for each
item. Consequently, we recorded a discount of $1,135,980 on the notes,
which is being amortized over the term of these notes using the effective
interest rate method. A discount was also recorded on these convertible
notes based on the requirement to bifurcate the conversion feature as noted
below. As a result, those convertible notes were recorded with additional
discounts in the total amount of $770,903. The combined value of the note
discount and discount related to the conversion feature on the convertible notes
is being amortized over the term of the respective convertible note using the
effective interest method. The amortization of the discounts was recorded as
interest expense. Since the discounts represent near 100% of the loan
proceeds from these notes, the effective periodic interest rate for these notes
ranges from between 77% and 86%. As a result, the majority
of amortization expense will be incurred at the end of the term of the
note.
In 2008,
the Company recorded $316,127 of interest expense related to the amortization of
the discounts and an additional interest expense of $108,208 which was for the
stated interest rate on these notes. The notes were fully amortized as of
9/30/09. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, we recorded
interest expense of approximately $1,725,000 related to amortization of the
discounts. We also recorded an additional interest expense of $148,149 in 2009,
which was for the stated interest rate on these notes.
In
addition the Notes contained several provisions which if triggered would reset
the conversion price of the Notes including; (1) in the event the Company failed
to timely convert or deliver the conversion shares, the Notes went into default
as defined under the agreement or a change of control event, as defined in the
Note agreement, occurred, the holders of the Note could demand immediate cash
payment of the greater of 120% of the outstanding principal plus accrued
interest or the dollar amount equivalent of the number of shares convertible
into at the time of the triggering event multiplied by the closing stock price
of the Company’s common shares; (2) a reset provision such that should the
Company issue in the future any common stock or instruments convertible or
exchangeable into common stock of the Company at a per share price lower than
the then in effect conversion price, would automatically reset the conversion
price of the Notes to that lower price and (3) the Company agreed to reset the
conversion price of the notes based on a formula of meeting certain sales and
income targets in the twelve month period ending June 30, 2009, such that the
conversion price would reset lower by 1% for every 1% of either the revenue or
income targets missed by the Company, with a cap such that the reduction in
price per share could not exceed 50%.
Because
of these provisions, the Company determined that the conversion feature was not
clearly and closely related to the Note host contract and under the FASB
accounting guidance it has bifurcated the conversion feature. Because the
conversion feature is not considered to be conventional convertible and note
holders have the ability to demand cash settlement of the conversion feature,
the amount recorded has been shown as a liability at December 31, 2009 of
approximately $161,000. Under the requirements of FASB accounting
guidance, the Company has remeasured the fair value of the conversion feature at
each reporting period after inception, with those changes in fair value being
recorded in the statement of operations.
F-14
The
warrants issued under this Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement also contained
several provisions which if triggered would reset the strike price of the
warrants and also possibly the number of warrant shares to be issued, including
(1) a reset provision such that should the Company issue in the future any
common stock or instruments convertible or exchangeable into common stock of the
Company at a per share price lower than the then in effect conversion price,
would automatically reset the conversion price of the Notes to that lower price
and would also increase the number of shares exercisable and (2) the Company
agreed to reset the conversion price of the notes based on a formula of meeting
certain sales and income targets in the twelve month period ending June 30,
2009, such that the conversion price would reset lower by 1% for every 1% of
either the revenue or income targets missed by the Company, with a cap such that
the reduction in price per share could not exceed 50%.
Because
of these provisions, the Company in 2008 determined that the provisions within
the warrants that could result in the issuance of a variable number of shares
preclude amounts ascribed to the warrants from being included in permanent
equity so long as those provisions are outstanding. Under the guidance of
Accounting Series Release (“ASR”) 268 and Topic D-98 the Company recorded the
amounts for the warrants under Temporary Equity as of December 31, 2008.
The Company believes as of the issuance date and the date of these financial
statements that the provisions which would trigger the reset to be remote and
thus has not remeasured the warrants after the date of issuance. Should
the trigger events become probable, the Company will remeasure the warrants and
any changes will be reported in expense at that time. Both the Notes and
Warrants also contained standard anti-dilution provisions. In 2009, in
accordance with FASB guidance, the company reclassified the value of the
warrants from Temporary Equity in to the derivative liability (See footnote
18).
The
Company in August 2008 issued warrants to the placement agent to purchase
289,286 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.93 per
share. The warrants vested immediately and expire in five years. These
warrants were valued by the Company using the Black-Scholes method at $831,872
using a fair value per share of $1.00, risk-free interest rate of 3.32% based on
the note issuance and 100% volatility.
In
October 2008 the Company issued detachable warrants along with a note agreement
with an exercise price of $0.70 per share. This issuance triggered the
reset provision contained within the warrants above such that the warrant
exercise price reset to $0.70 from $0.93 and the number of shares exercisable
increased to 3,843,364 from 2,892,858. The Company recorded an additional
discount of $118,000 in 2008 which is being amortized using the effective
interest method
On May
29, 2008, one of the note-holders from the January 2008 investment converted a
$25,000 note including accrued interest of $1,028 into 37,182 shares of the
Company’s common stock.
During
August 2008, the Company paid off a zero coupon note to one of its investors of
$110,000 which $95,000 represented cash received from the prior quarter.
On
September 23, 2008 the Company received $50,000 from an accredited investor as a
90 day Zero Coupon note in which $55,000 was due in December 2008. The
Company made payments of $26,500 in December 2008, and paid the balance in
incremental payments during the first quarter of 2009.
During
2008, the Company entered into several short term (ninety-day) unsecured, 12%
promissory notes with certain accredited investors for a total of $1,508,232.
Along with these notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 754,116 shares
of common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 expiring in 2013, which was valued
using the Black–Scholes method at $0.192 per share. This resulted in a value
of approximately $144,000 assuming a fair value per share of $0.30,
risk-free interest rate of 3.32% and a 100% volatility index. Consequently, the
Company recorded a discount of $131,865 on the notes, based on the relative fair
value of the warrants, which is being amortized over the term of these notes.
During 2008, all notes plus interest accrued of $36,598 were converted into
1,542,457 shares of common stock. On August 22, 2008 the Company issued
327,126 shares of the Company’s common stock to another one of our placement
agents as part of their commission in connection with this convertible note
private placement. In accordance with an agreement with the
placement agent, the number of shares were determined by converting the cost of
services to common stock at $.70 per share. However, at the time of
settlement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
company used the trading price of the stock, which ranged between $2.24 and
$3.27 per share, to convert the liability. Since the Company initially
recorded an expense of approximately $325,000 for these services, this
settlement resulted in additional expense
of $583,893.
During
the third quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued short term
(ninety-day) unsecured, 12% promissory notes to four accredited investors for a
total of $170,000. Along with these notes, the Company issued warrants to
note holders to purchase 57,500 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.70 per
share expiring in 2013, which was valued using the Black–Scholes method at $0.39
per share. This resulted in a Black–Scholes value of $32,000 using a market
price per share of $1.00, risk-free interest rate of 3.32% and a 100% volatility
index. Consequently, the Company recorded a discount of $64,857 on the notes,
based on the relative fair value of the warrants, which is being amortized over
the term of these notes. These notes also contain a conversion feature in which
the holder may convert their respective principal and accrued interest into
shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. During the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2008; $90,000 of principal from the notes were
converted into 90,000 shares of common stock and accrued interest of $770 was
converted into 770 shares of common stock.
F-15
In the
fourth quarter of 2008, the company raised $450,000 in a private offering from
accredited investors. The securities sold by the Company consisted of its 12%
secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase 450,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock , at an exercise price ranging between $0.70 and
$1.00. The warrants were valued using the Black–Scholes method. This
resulted in a total value of $203,966 assuming a fair value per share of $1.00,
risk-free interest rates ranging from 2.06% to 2.75% based on the note issuance
and 100% volatility index. Under FASB accounting guidance, we
allocated the proceeds from issuance of these notes and warrants based on the
proportional fair value for each item. Consequently, we recorded a
discount of $209,966 which is being amortized over the term of these notes using
the effective interest rate ranging from 3.815% to 5.329%. A beneficial
conversion discount was also recorded on these convertible notes since these
notes were convertible into shares of common stock at an effective conversion
price lower than the fair value of the common stock. The beneficial
conversion amount was limited to the portion of the cash proceeds allocated to
those convertible notes.
On
October 22, 2008 the company received $25,000 from an accredited investor as a
90 day zero coupon note in which $30,000 was due in January 2009. Payments
on the $30,000 note through March 31, 2009 were $16,500 and the balance was
paid in full during April 2009.
In
January and February 2009 the Company raised $160,000 in a private offering
from accredited investors. The securities sold by the Company consisted of its
12% secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase 160,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock, respectively at an exercise price of $1.00. The
warrants were valued using the Black–Scholes method. This resulted in a total
value of $117,885 assuming a fair value per share of $1.00, risk-free interest
rates ranging of 1.50% to 1.74% respectively, based on the note issuance and
100% volatility index. Under FASB guidance, we allocated the proceeds from
issuance of these notes and warrants based on the proportional fair value for
each item. Consequently, we recorded a discount of $131,894 which is being
amortized over the term of these notes using an effective periodic interest rate
of between 46 and 63,146%. A beneficial conversion discount was recorded on
these convertible notes since these notes were convertible into shares of common
stock at an effective conversion price lower than the fair value of the common
stock. The beneficial conversion amount was limited to the portion of the
cash proceeds allocated to those convertible notes.
In the
first quarter of 2009, three of our 12% convertible note holders converted their
notes of $205,000, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of
$0.70. This resulted in an issuance of 292,858 shares of common
stock. In addition the three note holders also converted their accumulated
interest on their respective notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at
a conversion rate of $0.70. The total interest converted was $23,627 and
converted into 33,752 of the Company’s common shares.
During
March 2009, the holders of $2,025,000 of our secured convertible promissory
notes that were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2009 agreed to extend the
maturity date to July 31, 2009. As consideration for their agreement to
extend the maturity date, we issued three-year warrants to the note holders
granting them the right to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our common
stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company recorded these
warrants at a value of $149,675 which is being amortized over the term of the
loan extensions. During July 2009, the note holders, who had not yet
converted their notes into common shares, along with our July and August
noteholders having this same July 31st
maturity date agreed to extend the maturity date to January 31, 2010. These
holders have an aggregate of $2,380,000 of our secured convertible
promissory notes. We issued three-year warrants to the note holders granting
them the right to purchase an aggregate of 680,000 shares of our common stock,
at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company recorded these warrants at
a value of $115,600 which is being amortized over the term of the loan
extensions.
On April
9, 2009, the Company entered into a financing transaction with
OmniReliant Holdings, Inc. (“Omni”) pursuant to a purchase agreement whereby it
sold to Omni a convertible original issue discount promissory note in the
principal amount of $550,000 (the “First Note”), with the Company receiving
proceeds of $500,000. The First Note is convertible at any time at the
option of Omni at a conversion price of $1.00 and is due on May 9, 2009.
Omni also received warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s
Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.00. There was a reset provision
associated with the note in regards to subsequent equity sales affecting the
note and warrants. Based on subsequent financing transactions in,
October 2009 the exercise price of the warrants and the conversion
price of the debt was reset to $0.10. In accordance with FASB accounting
guidance related to the valuation of convertible notes and warrants with
conversion features and/or exercise features that can reset the conversion
and/or exercise price based on future equity transactions, the Company valued
the warrants and conversion feature of this note and bifurcated them from the
host contract as a derivative by recognizing an additional liability for the
fair value assigned to those derivative features of
approximately $92,000. The value of this derivative at December 31,
2009 was approximately $21,000. The change in the derivative was reported in the
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. The company
also recorded a discount on this note of approximately $216,000 related to the
value of the note conversion feature to be amortized over the term of the
note. Since this note was paid off on May 7, 2009, the discount related to
the conversion feature was expensed and the derivative related to the
note was removed during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
F-16
During
April 2009, eight of our note holders converted the principal and interest of
their convertible promissory notes into shares of the Company common stock at a
conversion rate of $0.70 per share. Total principal converted was
$665,000, which was converted into 950,000 of the Company common shares.
Total accrued interest of $77,405 was converted into 110,590 of the Company
common shares.
On May 1,
2009, the Company issued a 120 day promissory note at 12% interest to an
accredited investor for $800,000. As a condition of the note, the company
issued the lender 400,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common shares at a
price of $1.00 per share. The warrants were valued using the Black–Scholes
method. This resulted in a total value of $363,965, assuming a fair value per
share of $1.00, risk-free interest rate of 1.98% and, based on the note issuance
and 100% volatility index. Under FASB accounting guidance, we allocated
the proceeds from issuance of this note and warrants based on the proportional
fair value for each item. The relative fair value of the warrant was
$250,160. A beneficial conversion discount was recorded on the convertible
note since the note is convertible into shares of common stock at an effective
conversion price lower than the fair value of the common stock. Consequently, we
recorded a total discount of $772,160 which is being amortized over the term of
these notes using an effective periodic interest rate of 436%. The note
was extended on July 15, 2009 in return for monthly cash interest payments with
the maturity date being moved to January 28, 2010. The broker received a cash
fee of $80,000
On May 7,
2009 one of our note holders converted the principal and interest of their
convertible promissory note into shares of the Company common stock at a
conversion rate of $1.00 per share. Total principal converted was $100,000,
which was converted into 100,000 shares of the Company common stock. Total
accrued interest converted was $4,000 into 4,000 of the Company common
shares.
On May
20, 2009, the Company executed a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the
principal amount of $1,600,000 payable to Linlithgow Holdings, LLC
(“Linlithgow”). Pursuant to the Note, the Company promises to pay to
Linlithgow $1,600,000 in cash on November 20, 2009. The Note is convertible at
any time at a conversion price of $1.00 per share which was reset to $0.70 due
to a subsequent offering. The Note bears an initial interest rate of 1.5%
for the first month and increases by 1.5% per month until maturity. After the
maturity date, the default rate of interest becomes 18% per month or the highest
rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, until the date the Note amount is
actually paid. Further, as part of the consideration provided to the Holder
for the Note, the Holder also received a warrant for the purchase of up to
1,782,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per
share. Due to subsequent issuances of stock at amounts less than $0.70 per
share in October 2009, the exercise price of these warrants has been
adjusted to $0.10. In accordance with FASB guidance, related to the valuation of
convertible notes and warrants with conversion features and/or exercise features
that can reset the conversion and/or exercise price based on future equity
transactions, the Company valued the warrants and conversion feature of this
note and bifurcated them from the host contract as a derivative by recognizing
an additional liability for the fair value assigned to those derivative features
of approximately $618,000 at inception of the agreement. At
December 31, 2009 the value of the derivative was approximately
$1,167,000. The change in the derivative was reported in the statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2009. The company recorded the
discount on this note of approximately $465,000 related to the value of the
warrants and derivative liability to be amortized over the term of the note at
an effective rate of approximately 50%. Additionally, the warrants issued
as costs of this financing were valued at approximately $1,125,000 and are being
amortized over the term of the note. The broker also received a cash
fee of $120,000 from the proceeds of this note. In October 2009, the
maturity date of this note was extended to May 16, 2010 in exchange for the
Company issuing 6,400,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.10. The
company valued these warrants using the Black-Scholes method at approximately
$509,000 and is amortizing them over the extended term of the note using the
effective interest method.
During
May 2009, seven of our note holders converted the principal and interest of
their convertible promissory notes into shares of the Company common stock at a
conversion rate of $.70 per share. Total
principal converted was $820,000, which was converted into 1,171,430 of the
Company common shares. Total accrued interest of $95,773 was converted
into 136,830 of the Company common shares.
F-17
On June
4, 2009 the Company sold a Convertible Original Issue Discounted (OID)
promissory note for $526,316 to an accredited investor which is due
1/15/2010. The Company paid the broker a cash fee of $50,000.
However, on June 19, 2009, the average trading volume of the common stock of the
Company was under $80,000 for the ten prior consecutive trading days, which
constituted a technical “Event of Default” under the Company’s Series 2009
Secured Convertible Original Issue Discount Note Due January 15, 2010, dated
June 4, 2009 (the “Note”), made by the Company, in favor of St. George
Investments, LLC (St. George). As a result of the Event of Default, the
principal amount of the Note, equal to $714,286, plus a penalty of $71,428.60
(equal to 10% of the principal amount), became immediately due and payable. At
any time following either the Maturity Date or occurrence of an Event of
Default, the note may be convertible into shares of the Common Stock of the
Company valued at the Market Price which is hundred percent (100%) of the lower
of (a) the closing bid price on the trading day on which the Share Conversion
Request is made or (b) the average of the volume weighted average prices as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P. during the ten (10) trading days in the primary
trading market for Common Shares prior to and including the trading day on which
the Share Conversion Request is made.
The St.
George Note was secured by an aggregate of 4,020,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock pledged by affiliates of the Company, pursuant to stock pledge
agreements entered into by the affiliates in favor of St. George, including
2,020,000 shares pledged by Mark Noffke, the Company’s chief financial officer.
Pursuant to the pledge agreement entered into by Mr. Noffke, shares pledged by
Mr. Noffke could be transferred to St. George and sold in full satisfaction of
the Company’s obligations under the Note.
Subsequently,
the Company and St. George Investments, LLC, entered into an agreement dated
July 30, 2009 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company would satisfy the
remaining outstanding balance of $420,593.40 on its Series 2009 Secured
Convertible Original Issue Discount Note, due June 15, 2010, issued to St.

Company and Omni entered into an amended and restated Securities Purchase
Agreement (the Purchase Agreement as amended and restated is referred to herein
as the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, Omni agreed to purchase up to $3,500,000 in principal amount
of the Company’s Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures (the
“Debentures”) for a purchase price of up to $3,000,000. As part of this
Agreement 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by Linlithgow
Holdings, LLC was pledged as collateral. . Under the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, Omni agreed to not engage in any short sales of
the Company’s common stock, as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the
Exchange Act, except to facilitate the transactions contemplated within the
Securities Purchase Agreement, until such time as the transaction was
consummated and disclosed to the public. After such time, the Securities
Purchase Agreement specifically states that Omni would make no such warranty or
covenant that it would not engage in short sales.
Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold Omni an aggregate of
$1,166,660 of Debentures and received gross proceeds of $1,000,000 and Omni
agreed to purchase an additional Debenture with a face value of up to $2,333,340
on or before July 30, 2009. Omni was also issued warrants to purchase
4,999,972 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.70
per share subject to a reset provision. The warrants are exercisable, for five
years from the date of issuance. The Debentures are convertible into
shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time at the option of the Holder at
a conversion price of $0.70 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion
Price”). Interest on the Debenture is 10% per annum. The first
Debenture was issued on June 29, 2009 and the second Debenture to be issued on
July 2, 2009. The principal amount of each of the Debentures is $583,350
and each has a maturity date of twelve months from the date of issuance.
The Debentures cannot be converted to common stock to the extent such conversion
would cause the holder of the Debenture, together with such holder’s affiliates,
to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or a maximum 9.99% in certain cases) of
the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following such
conversion.
Beginning
six months from the original issue date of the Debentures, on the 1st of
each month (the “Monthly Redemption Date”) the Company was required to redeem
the Monthly Redemption Amount ($97,221.66 for each $583,330 Debenture, plus
accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and any other amounts then owing
to the Holder under the Debenture). The Monthly Redemption Amount payable on
each Monthly Redemption Date was to be paid in cash at a rate of 110% of the
Monthly Redemption Amount or upon 30 trading days’ notice the Company may in
lieu of cash pay all or part of the Monthly Redemption Amount in conversion
shares.
Payment
of the Debentures issued to Omni is secured pursuant to a security interest and
pledge agreement (the “Security Interest and Pledge Agreement”) whereby, on June
29, 2009, Linlithgow Holdings LLC pledged 2,500,000 shares of BYOC common

and Pledge Agreement so that additional pledgors could pledge their respective
unpledged shares of BYOC Common Stock (the Security Interest and Pledge
Agreement, as amended and restated, is referred to herein as the “Security

Interest and Pledge Agreement, Linlithgow Holdings, LLC pledged an additional
3,982,000 shares of BYOC Common Stock, Wendy Borow-Johnson, the President of
Brand Management pledged 480,000 shares BYOC Common Stock, and Robert McNulty,
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pledged 505,000 shares of BYOC

3,500,000 to 7,000,000. Effective April 1, 2010, the Board of
Directors further increased the number of shares issuable under the 2008 Equity
Incentive Plan by 10,000,000 to a total of 17,000,000 shares. On July 24,
2009 the Plan was submitted to, and approved by our stockholders at
the 2009 Annual Meeting of stockholders. Under the 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan, we are currently authorized to grant options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights to purchase up to 17,000,000 shares of common stock to our
employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. Awards under the
plan may consist of stock options (both non- qualified options and options
intended to qualify as “Incentive Stock Options” under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), restricted stock awards and stock
appreciation rights.
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan is administered by our Board of Directors or a committee
appointed by the Board, which determines the persons to whom awards will be
granted, the type of award to be granted, the number of awards to be granted and
the specific terms of each grant, including the vesting thereof, subject to the
provisions of the plan.
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan provides that the exercise price of each incentive stock
option may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value in the case of a grantee holding
more than 10% of our outstanding common stock). The exercise price of a
non-qualified stock option shall be no less than the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of grant. The maximum number of options that may
be granted in any fiscal year to any participant is 5,000,000.
The plan
also permits the grant of freestanding stock appreciation rights or in tandem
with option awards. The grant price of a stock appreciation right shall be no
less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant of the stock
appreciation right. No stock appreciation right shall be exercisable later than
the tenth anniversary of its grant. Upon the exercise of a stock appreciation
right, a participant shall be entitled to receive common stock at a fair market
value equal to the benefit to be received by the exercise.
F-28
The plan
also provides us with the ability to grant or sell shares of common stock that
are subject to certain transferability, forfeiture, repurchase or other
restrictions. The type of restriction, the number of shares of restricted
stock granted and other such provisions shall be determined by our Board of
Directors or its committee.
Unless
otherwise determined by our Board of Directors or its committee, awards granted
under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan are not transferable other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.
The 2008
Equity Incentive Plan provides that, except as set forth in an individual award
agreement, upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction: (1) our Board of
Directors or its committee shall notify each participant at least thirty (30)
days prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction or as soon as may be
practicable and (2) all options and stock appreciation rights shall terminate
and all restricted stock shall be forfeited immediately prior to the
consummation of such corporate transaction unless the committee determines
otherwise in its sole discretion. A “corporate transaction” means (1) a
liquidation or dissolution of the company; (2) a merger or consolidation of the
company with or into another corporation or entity (other than a merger with a
wholly-owned subsidiary); or (3) a sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the company.
Our Board
of Directors may alter, amend or terminate the plan in any respect at any time,
but no alteration, amendment or termination will adversely affect in any
material way any award previously granted under the plan, without the written
consent of the participant holding such award.
Stock Options
Granted
On
September 11, 2008, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of stock
options as described below in accordance with the 2008 Equity Incentive
Plan. The employee options have a cliff vesting schedule over a three year
period that vest one third after one year of service and then 4.2% per month
over the remaining twenty-four months. Options issued to non-employees for
meeting performance-based goals vest immediately.

The
estimated fair value of the aforementioned options was calculated using the
Black-Scholes model. Consequently, the Company recorded a share-based
compensation expense of $1,883,702 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Total
compensation costs to be recognized over the next 2.4 weighted average number of
years will be $335,481 for all non-vested employee options as of December 31,
2009. The following table summarizes the weighted average of the assumptions

2008, respectively. No options have been exercised since the inception of the
plan.
Convertible
Securities
As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had an aggregate number of shares of common
stock issued as well as instruments convertible or exercisable into common
shares that exceeded the number of the Company’s total authorized common shares
by approximately 35,800,000 shares. The Company determined that the excess
shares were related to warrants issued in 2009. These excess shares were
triggered by the Company issuing shares of stock in October 2009 at $0.10 per
share. This caused all convertible instruments with reset provisions
to reset the exercise price and conversion price to $0.10, which triggered
provisions within the respective instruments that greatly increased the number
of potential shares issuable on their exercise or conversion. Based
upon FASB accounting guidance, the Company determined the fair value of these
excess shares using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Based upon the fair value
of these excess shares in October 2009, the Company recorded a liability of
approximately $4,600,000. The Company revalued this liability at
December 31, 2009 and determined the value to be approximately
$950,000. The change in fair value of approximately $3,660,000 for
the period ended December 31, 2009 was recognized in the statement of operations
under the income related to derivative line item.
Dividends
The
Company anticipates that all future earnings will be retained to finance future
growth. The payment of dividends, if any, in the future to the
Company’s common stockholders is within the discretion of the Board of Directors
of the Company and will depend upon the Company’s earnings, its capital
requirements and financial condition and other relevant factors. The
Company has not paid a dividend on its common stock and does not anticipate
paying any dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future but instead
intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company’s business
operations. The Company
is restricted from paying dividends in cash while any principal or accrued
interest is outstanding under the OmniReliant Holdings Convertible Notes (see
Note 8).

At
December 31, 2009 the Company had estimated U.S. federal net operating losses of
approximately $23,849,000 for income tax purposes which will expire between
2017 and 2019. For financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of
the net deferred tax assets has been offset by a valuation allowance due to
uncertainty regarding the realization of the assets. The net change
in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2009 was an
increase of $6,163,947. The Company follows FASC 740-10-25 P which
requires a company to evaluate whether a tax position taken by the company will
“more likely than not” be sustained upon examination by the appropriate tax
authority. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the
federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns,
as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company believes that
its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and
does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to
its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income
tax positions have been recorded.
The
Company may not be able to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards for its
US income taxes in future periods should it experience a change in ownership as
defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
(“IRC”). Under section 382, should the Company experience a more than
50% change in its ownership over a 3 year period, the Company would be limited
based on a formula as defined in the IRC to the amount per year it could utilize
in that year of the net operating loss carryforwards. As of
December 31, 2009 the Company had not performed an analysis to determine if the
Company was subject to the provisions of Section 382.
The
following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's gross
unrecognized tax benefits:

The
Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax including state and local
jurisdictions. Currently, no federal or state income tax returns are under
examination by the respective taxing jurisdictions.
The
Company's accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to
uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company has not accrued
interest for any periods.

NOTE
10 COMMITMENTS and
CONTINGENCIES
Legal
Matters
In 2008
the Company filed suit against its former President, CEO for breach of
confidentiality and non-compete while employed and also post employment, breach
of fiduciary duty and other matters, and the Company is seeking to enforce
certain non-compete agreements. The former CEO subsequently
counter-sued the Company for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing and other matters. The former CEO is
seeking to be awarded $75,000 in cash plus at least 3.3 million shares of stock
of the Company. As of December 31, 2009 no amounts had been recorded
by the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the date of these financial
statements.
Operating
Lease
The
Company leases certain office space, under operating leases which generally
require the Company to pay taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses related to
the leased property. The leases for office space have lease extension
renewal options for an added two to three years at fair market rent values. The
Company believes that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed
or replaced by other leases. In December 2007 the Company entered
into a four year lease for 4,560 square feet in Henderson, Nevada which houses
its corporate office.
Total
rent expense incurred by the Company, which includes the leases above and sundry
month to month rental expenditures was $329,002 and $225,006 for the
twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company signed an amendment to its lease in Henderson, Nevada in February
2009, effective March 16, 2009 for an additional 5,634 square feet of office
space adjacent to the current office. This amendment ties to the
expiration of the present lease and will expire January 31, 2012. The
Company closed its California office in May of 2009The Company has future
minimum lease obligations as follows:

NOTE 11 – SIGNIFICANT
CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS
The
Company will derive a significant portion of its revenue from e-commerce based
customers. This is a very competitive market with many suppliers for the
products the Company offers. The Company believes that it can replace any one
product line with another supplier without any disruptions in
activity.
NOTE 12 – SEGMENT
REPORTING
Beyond
Commerce, Inc managed its operations through three business segments:
BOOMj.com dba i-SUPPLY, Local Ad Link and KaChing KaChing . Each unit
owns and operates the segments under the respective names.
The
Company evaluates performance based on net operating profit. Administrative
functions such as finance, treasury, and information systems are centralized and
although they are not considered operating segments are presented below for
informative purposes. However, where applicable, portions of the administrative
function expenses are allocated between the operating segments. The operating
segments do share facilities in Henderson NV. In the event any supplies and/or
services are provided to one operating segment by the other, the transaction is
valued according to the company’s transfer policy, which approximates market
price. The costs of operating the segments are captured discretely within each
segment. The Company’s leasehold improvements, property, computer equipment,
inventory, and results of operations are captured and reported discretely within
each operating segment.

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTIES
(not described elsewhere)
Rhett
McNulty is the son of Robert J. McNulty, our CEO. Rhett McNulty owns Linlithgow
Holdings, LLC, which is the Company’s largest shareholder. Rhett McNulty is also
the Chief Operating Officer and an 18% owner of Hype/Swapin Networks, Inc. In
December 2006 Boomj.com, Inc. purchased its proprietary website software from
Hype/Swapin Networks, Inc. for 500,000 shares of Boomj Series A Preferred stock.
Prior to the acquisition of BOOMj these 500,000 Series A Preferred shares were
converted into 550,000 shares of Boomj.com’s common stock. In connection the
acquisition of BOOMj.com, we issued 1,111,000 shares of our common stock in
exchange for these 550,000 shares.
On May
20, 2009, the Company executed a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) in the
principal amount of $1,600,000 payable to Linlithgow
Holdings. Pursuant to the Note, the Company promises to pay to
Linlithgow Holdings $1,600,000 in cash on November 20, 2009. A principal payment
was made on July 21, 2009 of $266,667 leaving a balance of $1,333,333. The Note
is convertible at any time at a conversion price of $1.00 per share which was
reset to $0.70 due to a subsequent offering. The Note bears an
initial interest rate of 1.5% for the first month and increases by 1.5% per
month until maturity. After the maturity date, the default rate of interest
becomes 18% per month or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower,
until the date the Note amount is actually paid. Further, as part of the
consideration provided to the holder for the Note, the Holder also received a
warrant for the purchase of up to 1,782,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. The warrants are exercisable, in whole
or in part, any time from and after the date of issuance of the warrant. Due to
a subsequent ratchet adjustment based on the issuance of warrants at a lower per
share price, the exercise price of these warrants has been adjusted to $0.70.
and the convertible note ratcheted down to $0.10 per share. This note was
subsequently extended by mutual agreement until May 26, 2010. As part of the
extension the interest rate was reduced to 6.0% , an additional 6,400,000 five
year warrants to purchase our common stock at $0.10 per share and the conversion
price was ratcheted down to $0.10 per share.
During
2009 and 2008, we paid Linlithgow Holdings a total of $215,213 and
$53,450respectively for consulting services and advertising commissions rendered
to us. Also, our KaChing entity paid commissions $3,379 to ABV3
corporation an entity owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer Robert
McNulty.
In 2009
& 2008, we paid FA Corp. a total of $37,114 and $102,673 respectively for
various services provided to us by Mr. Murray Williams. Mr. Williams
is a member of our Board of Directors and the principal stockholder of FA Corp.
Another one of our directors, Mr. Barry Falk is a partner in the law firm Irvine
Venture Law Firm. The Company paid $425 and $336 in 2009 and 2008, respectively
for legal services provided to the Company by Mr. Falk’s firm.
In 2009,
we started using a debit card issued by TAC Financial, Inc., which as of
December 31, 2009 was 85% owned by Linlithgow Holdings, LLC. Additionally, one
of our employees, Clark McNulty, the son of Robert J. McNulty, sits on the Board
of TAC Financial, Inc. and two members of TAC Financials
Board of Directors are the sons, (one of which is an employee of the Company),
of Robert McNulty (our Chief Executive Officer). This company does
not pay TAC Financial for the use of the debit cards, but TAC Financial does
receive fees from the users of those cards. The Company used their VISA debit
card as a means to pay commissions to our Local Ad Link sales
representatives. As of March 13, 2009 Linlithgow Holdings, LLC
ownership percentage of TAC Financial, Inc. was reduced to approximately
75%.
In 2009
we sold 8,000,000 shares of the Company common stock to Zurvita for $800,000
giving them a 13.6% ownership in the Company. This transaction was
part of the asset sale of LocalAdLink. (Exhibit 10.37). We have an
outstanding secured promissory note at December 31, 2009 with the Omni Group
(who has common ownership with Zurvita) of $1,623,322.
NOTE 14 – NET LOSS PER SHARE
OF COMMON STOCK
The
Company follows FASC 260-10 which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS
on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS
computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share of
common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Basic net loss
per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury
stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be
exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later),
and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the
average market price during the period. However, shares associated with
convertible debt, stock options and stock warrants are not included because
the inclusion would be anti-dilutive (i.e. reduce the net loss per common
share). The total number of such stock options shares excluded from
the diluted net loss per common share presentation was 102,399,776 and
19,010,108 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
F-34
Warrants
outstanding exercisable into 116,500,567 shares of the Company’s common stock,
options exercisable into 4,117,551 shares of the Company’s common stock and
convertible debt that is convertible into 56,366,550 shares of the
Company’s common stock are not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the effect of these instruments would be anti-dilutive (i.e.,
reduce the loss per share) for the year ended December 31, 2009. The following
is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted
earnings per share computations for the period ended December 31, 2009 and the
year ended December 31, 2008:

NOTE 17 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 19, 2010, which is the
date they issued their financial statements, and concluded that the following
subsequent events have occurred that require recognition in the Financial
Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Financial Statements-
On
February 18, 2010 we issued 700,000 shares of Company common stock for
professional services.
NOTE 18 – CHANGE IN METHOD
OF ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN CONVERSION AND EXERCISE FEATURES
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF 07-5, “Determining Whether an
Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock” and
changed its accounting, as required, for valuation of convertible notes and
warrants with conversion features and/or exercise features in which either the
conversion or exercise price or the number of warrant shares issuable was
determined by formula with inputs based on the operations of the
Company. This change required the Company to bifurcate the features
from the host contracts as derivatives under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” by recognizing an additional liability for
the fair value assigned to those derivate features, whereas in the prior year
those convertible notes and warrants were accounted for using Emerging Issues
Task Force No. 01-6 “The Meaning of ‘Indexed to a Company's Own
Stock’". The new method of accounting for convertible notes and
warrants with these features requires that the Company revalue the instruments
at inception and each reporting date and to record the cumulative effect of the
changes in retained earnings into the opening period in which the standard is
adopted.
F-36
We
previously accounted for our convertible notes and warrants with these features
under EITF 01-6 which treated these features as if they were indexed to the
Company’s own stock and thus did not require separate accounting treatment or
bifurcation as derivatives.
Upon
implementing EITF 07-5 for all periods presented the Company recalculated and
replaced the original accounting by recognizing an additional liability for the
value of the bifurcated features. In addition, because these
instruments are now accounted for as derivatives under SFAS 133, the Company no
longer treats the warrants issued in conjunction with the 12% Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes as Temporary Equity and instead the values assigned
are now included in Note derivative liability.
The
following financial statement line items as of December 31, 2008 were affected
by the change in accounting principle -
