CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date thereof.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, and levels of activity, performance or achievements. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date of this Quarterly Report. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in, but not limited to, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation”, “Business” and those listed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Report. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report.
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this Report.
Management cautions that these statements are qualified by their terms and/or important factors, many of which are outside of our control, and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from the statements made, including, but not limited to, the following:
● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results;
● actual or anticipated product constraints;
● decreased demand for our products resulting from changes in consumer preferences;
● product and services announcements by us or our competitors;
● loss of any of our key executives;
● regulatory announcements, proceedings or changes;
● announcements in the touch technology community;
● competitive product developments;
● intellectual property and legal developments;
● mergers or strategic alliances in the touch technology industry;
● any business combination we may propose or complete;
● any financing transactions we may propose or complete; or
● broader industry and market trends unrelated to its performance.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.
Plan of Operation
The ability of the Company to achieve its business objectives is contingent upon its success in raising additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations.
We are a manufacturer of touch based visual communication products for the education and corporate worldwide marketplaces. Our mission is to design and manufacture high quality technology products. We manufacture a large range of touch screen and touch board products to suite all types of application from pen input wireless tablets, to large enameled steel touch-sensitive interactive whiteboards and large interactive LCD displays. Our products stand out from the competition in terms of their design, functionality and price offering. Our customers seek our products as they provide them a different point of entry to the market in terms of price, quality of design and margin. Currently, demand for our products is exceeding our ability to supply.
5
We designed, manufactured, launched, developed and sold 4 new products as well as establishing the business from scratch and equipping a factory.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
TouchIT Technologies Inc manufactures touch-based visual communication products for the education and corporate worldwide marketplaces. Our products stand out from the competition in terms of their design, functionality and price offering. Our customers seek our products as they provide them a different point of entry to the market in terms of price, quality of design and margin.
In our first year of trading we exceeded revenues of $2m USD and we have designed, manufactured, launched and sold 4 new products as well as established the business and equipped a factory.
We believe that we are on target for annual revenue for 2010 of $5m USD. We achieved a Q1 2010 revenue of $1.046m and Q1 is renowned as being a weak quarter for our markets on a worldwide basis. We continued to work to our forecasts with a combined Q1 and Q2 revenue of $2,171,547 The strongest quarters for our markets are typically Q3 and Q4. Company results for 2009 comply with this trend.
1. Establishing and maintaining working relationships and contractual agreements with distribution and OEM customers;
2. Increasing our profit margin by lowering the import and raw material costs by bulk purchasing from vendors;
3. By increasing our purchasing power, increasing our stock holding and lowering delivery times to customers thus enabling further sales growth; and
4. Effectively communicating to current and potential customers, through targeted efforts, our position as a differentiated provider of the highest quality of margin laden touch-based communication products.
Recent Developments
On May 7, 2010, the Company (which at that time was called Hotel Management Systems, Inc.), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TouchIT Tech KS, the stockholders of TouchIT Tech KS, (TouchIT Ed and together with TouchIT Tech KS, “TouchIT”), and the stockholders of Touch Ed. Both TouchIT Tech and TouchIT Ed are corporations formed under the laws of Turkey and are based in Istanbul, Turkey. The closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) took place on May 7, 2010 (the “Closing Date”).
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 7, 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors for the sale of up to $1,500,000 (the "Purchase Price") of principal amount convertible promissory notes of the Company (“Note” or “Notes”) and share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”).
June the 1st saw TouchIT Technologies sign a rental agreement for the next 12 months for a further 1000m2 of factory space on floor 5 of the Interfarma building in TrakyaSerbestBolge, Catalca. Management deemed this necessary in order to meet the growing demand for our products and increase our capacity. The factory has also undergone a remodel with a canteen area having been installed; a new secure LCD production area installed on floor 6 and the Interactive Whiteboard production has moved to floor 5 of the building. There has also been a showroom build in the factory displaying a TouchIT Board and LCD with seating area plus two new offices have also been built. The changes will be completed to the building by the second week in July.
TouchIT Technologies has also increased its manufacturing staff (four new staff) and accounting staff (two new staff) during Q2. Management recognized the need for the extra manpower as the business continues to grow. The company is also in discussions with Sean Paradis for a consultancy role as Director of Business Development for North America. If an agreement can be reached Sean will join the team as a consultant (no board membership or voting rights) September 1, 2010.
Q2 saw new distribution partners being appointed in Morocco and Kuwait whilst the business in the USA continues to go from strength to strength. There a number of sales and OEM contracts that are being concluded presently and will be announced upon signing.
The company has begun the development of a new range of Interactive LCD products which are planned for launch in Q3 2010. These will include a 42” and 55” and a 65” LCD. All will be Full HD and touch-based, we’re looking at options of multiple input “multi-touch” that we are hoping to include on these models. These models will replace the 57” which we will send end of life during the same period. Management took the decision to broaden the LCD range due to feedback and growing demand from the markets.
6
The company has almost finished the development of the TouchIT Transcribe annotation software that is aimed at the corporate market. This is scheduled to be released September 1 2010. It will be a free download for all existing TouchIT Board and TouchIT LCD users.
The company is also looking into the viability of an OEM offering of a content software that is suitable for both 7-11 and 11-16 age groups. If concluded, the software will be sold in conjunction with our existing products to strengthen the product line.
The company also filed for a Ticker Symbol change with FINRA, which was issued as TUCN during the quarter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of TouchIT Tech KS and TouchIT Ed. Although not significant, it should be noted that inter-company transactions and balances do exist and have not been consolidated. TouchIT Tech KS and TouchIT Ed together are referred to as the Company.
This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the financial statements of both TouchIT Tech and TouchIT Ed, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we will evaluate these estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis:
Basis of presentation financial statements:
The Company maintains its books of account and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting principles in the Turkish Commercial Code and tax legislation. The accompanying financial statements are based on the statutory records, with adjustments and reclassifications, for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”).
There are inter-company transactions that have not been consolidated on these financial statements.
Revenue recognition:
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for customer returns, rebates, and other similar allowances.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventories held by the method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory being valued on the weighted average basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to deliver service.
Property, plant and equipment:
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and construction in progress, over their estimated useful lives, using straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
7
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
–
|
Machinery and equipments 2-6 years;
|
–
|
Motor vehicles 4 years; and
|
–
|
Furniture, fixtures and office equipments 4-5 years.
|
Shipping and handling:
Shipping and handling costs related to costs of the raw material purchased is included in cost of revenues.
Research and development costs:
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of material and equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities, and have alternative future uses, either in research and development, marketing, or sales, are classified as property and equipment or depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Company reporting year end:
The company uses a calendar year as its fiscal year ending December 31.

NET SALES (REVENUE) – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, revenue has increased 445% or by $1,683,482.22 from $448,129 to $2,171,612. This increase can be attributed to an increase in sales activities from all customers on a worldwide basis, both distribution and original equipment manufacture (OEM). We are also operating in markets where we did not have any activity in 2009, for example the USA. In Q2 2009 the company was operating on a much smaller customer base. There were no tenders or similar large ‘one-off’ sales during this period in 2010; it was regular run-rate business, which we expect to continue to grow during the remainder of 2010.
GROSS PROFIT – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, gross profit has increased by 947% or $672,714.07 from $79,408 to $752,123. This is primarily due to an increase in sales revenue, but also the fact that costs have been stabilized and production streamlined now that the product development for our core four products has been completed. We expect to continue to develop our product range throughout the course of 2010, most notably with the introduction of the new LCD range.
LOSS FROM OPERATIONS – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, loss from operations has decreased by 164% or $455,708.37. This can be attributed to the setup of the factory being complete (it was still being equipped from being a shell in Q2 2009) but also product development costs were still being incurred in Q2 2009 for the core products whereas these costs have been reduced and ongoing research and development costs have been streamlined. As previously mentioned, sales efforts have increased and the number of customers on a worldwide basis for quarter ended June 30 2010 was greater than the number of customers in the same period in 2009.
NET INCOME FOR THE PERIOD – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30 2009, NET income for the period has increased by $451,740.46. This was and increase from $(179,953) to $271,788 This increase can be attributed to the maintenance of margin whilst increasing sales revenue.

CURRENT ASSETS – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, total current assets have increased by 401% or $1,412,407.07. This increase is due to an increase in inventory holding, but also due to an increase in receivables as the sales revenue has grown. We still have to offer our customers credit to win the business. Monies due from related parties has also increased. There are some inter-company sales but also the monies due from EmkoEmaye who purchase our electronics form a large proportion of this.
NON-CURRENT ASSETS – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, total non-current assets have increased by 126% or $14,534.69. $20,683 of this increase can be attributed to plant equipment in the factory where extra production stations have been created as the factory has continued to develop to meet the sales increase. There have also been two new offices constructed, a computer server added, a show room equipped and constructed and a new LCD production area fitted out. This is to meet future demand for the products.
TOTAL ASSETS– For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, total assets have increased by 374% or $1,426,941.77 from $521,676 to $1,948,618
CURRENT LIABILITIES – For the first six months of the financial year, quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009, total current liabilities have increased by 182% or $501,755.00 from $606,855 to $1,108,610. Borrowings for the quarter ended 2010 have increased by 124% or $1,619 compared to quarter ended June 30, 2009. Trade payables have increased by 368% or $37,246.00 which can be attributed to an increase in inventory required to service the sales demand. Monies due to related parties have increased by 207% or $507,981.00 which can be attributed to an increase in raw materials purchased from EmkoEmaye to service growing sales demand, along with inter-company transactions. Other current liabilities have increased by 394% or $11,863.00.

Net cash used for operating activities was $(552,213) compared to $(30,610) which is an increase of $521,603.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Financial risk factors
The Company’s activities expose it to variety of financial risks; including, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks on the Company’s overall financial performance.
Market risk
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Foreign currency risk management
The Company undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk primarily arises from the fact that the Company may not receive funds from its counterparties at the expected time. This risk is managed by maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of overdrafts and trade receivables.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a “smaller reporting company” (as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
13
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following three material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have review and supervision procedures for financial reporting functions. The review and supervision function of internal control relates to the accuracy of financial information reported. The failure to review and supervise could allow the reporting of inaccurate or incomplete financial information. Due to our size and nature, review and supervision may not always be possible or economically feasible. Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has not made any changes to internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition or operating results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to Our Business
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF OUR SUCCESS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PROBLEMS, EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A SMALL DEVELOPING COMPANY.
We were incorporated in Nevada in November 2008, under the name “Hotel Management Systems, Inc.” Following the transactions described herein, we are now a manufacturer of touch based communication products for the education and corporate marketplaces. As such, we have a limited operating history, and historical operating results may not provide a meaningful basis for evaluating the business, financial performance and prospects. We have limited assets or financial resources and/or limited operating history. Therefore, the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we will operate.
14
WE NEED TO MANAGE GROWTH IN OPERATIONS TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND ACHIEVE OUR EXPECTED REVENUES AND OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH WILL CAUSE A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE REVENUE.
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth will disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
In order to achieve the above mentioned targets, the general strategies of our company are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative initiatives; on the other hands, our company will also keep a close eye on expanding opportunities.
IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
If adequate additional financing is not available on favorable terms or we are unable to secure additional financing, we may not be able to undertake expansion, continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us or financing on favorable terms.
In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES.
The Company’s future success also depends upon its continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of the Company’s business and the management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and the success of the Company will be highly dependent on the Company’s ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel.
Competition for skilled personnel in our industry is significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees. The Company’s inability to attract skilled management personnel and other employees as needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The Company’s arrangement with its current employees is at will, meaning its employees may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time. The Company anticipates that the use of stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, and phantom stock awards will be valuable in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. However, the effects of such plan cannot be certain.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM.
We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Andrew Brabin, Ronald Murphy, and RecepTanisman, our management team. The loss of services of Mr. Brabin, Mr. Murphy, or Mr. Tanisman could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.
WE ARE IN AN INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COMPETITORS WHO MAY HAVE GREATER RESOURCES.
The Company could face strong competition within the local area by competitors in the touch technology industry who could duplicate the model. These competitors may have substantially greater financial resources and marketing, development and other capabilities than the Company. In addition, there are very few barriers to enter into the market for our products. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our competitors, many of whom have far greater resources will not independently develop products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our products. Therefore, an investment in the Company is very risky and speculative due to the competitive environment in which the Company intends to operate.
15
OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND OUR PRODUCT OFFERINGS TO ADDRESS EMERGING CONSUMER DEMANDS AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS WILL IMPACT OUR FUTURE GROWTH. IF WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN MEETING THESE BUSINESS CHALLENGES, OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS WILL BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our ability to implement solutions for our customers incorporating new developments and improvements in technology which translate into productivity improvements for our customers and to develop product offerings that meet the current and prospective customers’ needs are critical to our success. The markets we serve are highly competitive. Our competitors may develop solutions or products which make our offerings obsolete. Our ability to develop and implement up to date solutions utilizing new technologies which meet evolving customer needs in touch technology solutions will impact our future revenue growth and earnings.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
The Company may not be able to protect unauthorized use of its intellectual property and take appropriate steps to enforce its rights. Although management does not believe that its products infringe on the intellectual rights of others, there is no assurance that the Company may not be the target of infringement or other claims. Such claims, even if not true, could result in significant legal and other costs associated and may be a distraction to management. We plan to rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark laws and non-disclosure and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights. We use and intend to use the trademark “TouchIT Technology” name and logo. We intend to file federal trademark applications for “TouchIT Technology” and to secure the Internet trade domain “TouchITtechnologies.com” and related logo. There can be no assurance that the registrations applied for will be accepted. Because the policing of intellectual and intangible rights may be difficult and the ideas and other aspects underlying our business model may not in all cases be protectable under intellectual property laws, there can be assurance that we can prevent competitors from marketing the same or similar products and services.
Risks Associated with Our Shares of Common Stock
BROAD DISCRETION OF MANAGEMENT TO USE OF PROCEEDS FROM FINANCING.
The Company’s management will have broad discretion with respect to the expenditure of the net proceeds from the financing that closed in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, Subscribers will be entrusting their funds to the Company’s management, upon whose judgment they must depend, with limited information concerning the specific working capital requirements and general corporate purposes to which the funds will be ultimately applied.
THE SECURITIES BEING ISSUED IN CONNECTION WITH AND FOLLOWING THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT ARE RESTRICTED SECURITIES AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR THE AVAILABILITY OF A RESALE EXEMPTION.
The shares of Common Stock, Notes and Warrants being issued in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement and financing described herein are being issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Consequently, these securities will be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and may not be transferred in the absence of registration or the availability of a resale exemption. In particular, in the absence of registration, such securities cannot be resold to the public until certain requirements under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act have been satisfied, including certain holding period requirements. Furthermore, we are under no obligation to file a resale registration statement with respect to those securities except in connection with an unrelated secondary offering. As a result, a purchaser who receives any such securities issued in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement or the financing may be unable to sell such securities at the time, or at the price or upon such other terms and conditions, as the purchaser desires, and the terms of such sale may be less favorable to the purchaser than might be obtainable in the absence of such limitations and restrictions.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES; LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY.
Purchase of the Securities should be considered a long-term, illiquid investment. The Securities have not been registered under the Act, are being offered by reason of a specific exemption from registration and are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, and cannot be sold without registration under the Act or any exemption from registration. In addition, the Securities will not be registered under any state securities laws that would permit their transfer. Because of these restrictions and the absence of a trading market for the Securities, a Subscriber will likely be unable to liquidate an investment even though other personal financial circumstances would dictate such liquidation.
16
OUR COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD WHICH MAY HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE AND LIQUIDITY.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”). The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY OR TO PREVENT FRAUD. ANY INABILITY TO REPORT AND FILE OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY AND TIMELY COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if in the past un-discovered failures of internal controls exist, and may in the future discover areas of our internal control that need improvement.
OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE VERY THINLY TRADED, AND THE PRICE MAY NOT REFLECT OUR VALUE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price if traded may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO LIQUID TRADING MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND WE CANNOT ENSURE THAT ONE WILL EVER DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED.
To date there has been no liquid trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. We anticipate having our common stock continue to be quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, however, we cannot be sure that such quotations will continue. We currently do not satisfy the initial listing standards, and cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remain listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or suspended from the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.
Furthermore, for companies whose securities are traded in the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital.
In addition, the price at which our common stock may be sold is very unpredictable because there are very few trades in our common stock. Because our common stock is so thinly traded, a large block of shares traded can lead to a dramatic fluctuation in the share price.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
-
|
limited “public float” following the Share Exchange, in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
|
-
|
sales of our common stock; and
|
-
|
our ability to execute our business plan.

Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our value and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, only a small percentage of our common stock is available to be traded and is held by a small number of holders and the price, if traded, may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate consultants with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of our company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of low priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LIMITED PUBLIC FLOAT HELD BY A LIMITED NUMBER OF PERSONS.
Of our 67,230,001 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, only 12,900,000 shares are presently eligible for resale without further registration by the holders thereof or pursuant to an exemption from registration. In addition, these 12,900,000 shares are presently held by a limited number of shareholders. As a result of the relatively small size of our public float and its initial concentration in the hands of only a few people, the liquidity of the market for our common stock may be both severely limited and subject to high levels of volatility.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On May 7, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TouchIT Tech KS, the stockholders of TouchIT Tech KS, TouchIT Education, (“TouchIT Ed” and together with TouchIT Tech KS, “TouchIT”), and the stockholders of Touch Ed , pursuant to which we issued 48,330,000 shares of our Common Stock to the shareholders of TouchIT Tech KS and TouchIT Ed in exchange for all shares held by these shareholders in TouchIT Tech KS and TouchIT Ed. The issuance of these shares was exempted from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 . The terms of the Share Exchange Agreement are discussed more fully in Item 1.01 and 2.01 of our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on May 12, 2010.
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 7, 2010, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors for the sale of up to $1,500,000 (the "Purchase Price") of principal amount convertible promissory notes of the Company convertible into up to 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (“Note” or “Notes”) and share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.
