NOTE 1 - |
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $399,993 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and, as of that date, the Company’s current and total liabilities exceeded its current and total assets by $1,167,827. These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions
that the Company faces relative to capital raising activities, create an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through public and/or private placement offerings, targeting strategic partners in an effort to increase revenues, and expanding revenues through strategic acquisitions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of capital offerings or alternative
financing arrangements and expansion of its operations. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,606. The Company will require additional funding during the next twelve months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve its strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing
additional sources of financing sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations through 2009 and 2010. However management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured.
NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718) (formerly, SFAS No. 123(R)). ASC 718 requires employee equity awards to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly,
share-based compensation is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award.
Under the modified prospective method of adoption for ASC 718, the compensation cost recognized by the Company beginning on January 1, 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of the accounting standards, and (b) compensation cost for all equity incentive awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs over the service period of the award. Upon exercise, cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of stock options, or upon vesting or forfeiture of restricted stock units, deferred tax assets
for options and restricted stock units with multiple vesting dates are eliminated for each vesting period on a first-in, first-out basis as if each vesting period was a separate award.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events and are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”,
“shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future
operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information
and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. We cannot guaranty that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation
to update any such forward-looking statements.
We advise anyone relying upon this report that any statement of earnings by the company for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, have been obtained solely through the reduction, adjustment or termination of various debt obligations and does not in any way reflect revenues
to the company. The company continues as a development company without revenues and with continuing substantial expenses, yielding a net loss from operations if considered apart from reduction of debt. The company continues to search for merger or acquisition candidates or possible entities to whom it may sell or license its patent interest, but makes no warranty or assurance that it will be successful in any of these endeavors. Further, there is no assurance that the company can continue to operate without cash
flows or revenues and during the past year has relied exclusively upon interim capital financing for its continuation.
Plan of Operation
The 3rd Quarter 2009 witnessed a milestone in Klever Marketing’s recent growth. The Market in Park City, Utah, began pilot operation of the new Giving Cart shopping cart device with the Chime-Time Awards Program ($5-$25 hourly merchandise awards
awarded randomly each hour), which is scheduled to run through mid-December 2009. Greeters offer the units stored in a kiosk to customers with a 70-80% acceptance rate. The feedback has been quite positive. This launch was successfully accomplished in the planned 6-month time period from product definition through development, prototype testing, installation and operation. The Time Domain location technology was successfully installed into the Giving Cart unit
and store infrastructure and is performing up to Company expectations. The offsite control of the devices through web-based, wireless access has also performed as planned, and we continue to enhance this monitoring and control software. The units are delivering advertisements to customers as they walk through the aisles and in front of the products advertised. As an incentive to the retailer, the device also advertises store specials provided by the retailer. The most
popular features have been the Chime Time Awards Program, the advertisements and the store directory for the time it saves customers in locating a product.
Following signing of an agreement with a Southern California investment banking firm, the Company is working with them to secure funding on a best efforts basis for the next level of supermarket installations planned for 2010. Funding of $2.5 million is being sought to be available in two tranches. No assurance can
be given that any funds will be raised under this agreement. If funds are realized, the Company will award a 5% fee, plus warrants for 250,000 common shares at a strike price of $.30 per share expiring in 2 years. In addition the Company has already paid a $20,000 retainer and a balance of $10,000-will be paid upon delivery of a term sheet and funding.
The Company is considering several opportunities in Southern California and Utah for expansion into the Phase 2 store operations with a goal of developing both POS and Frequent Shopper Loyalty Card capability into the Giving Cart and kiosk system. A decision on these opportunities expected during the next quarter.
Also notable during this quarter was the Company’s success in regaining qualification on the Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB). This upward move is expected to be quite beneficial to the Company as it seeks additional capital and growth since now institutional investors can invest and purchase stock in the Company. Along
with this move the Company has recapitalized the number of common shares from 50 million to 250 million shares.
13
To continue to protect the Company’s patent rights, our patent attorneys have filed for additional trademarks.
During the 3Q, 2009, the Company issued a net of 316,666 common shares for stock subscriptions for which the Company received new capital.
During the nine months ending September 30, 2009, the Line of Credit of $20,423 has been paid in full.
Anticipated Business Development in the Next 12 Months
Business development over the next year will attempt to implement the Company’s strategy to:
1. |
Continue to demonstrate the benefits of The Giving Cart shopping device to retailers and customers through the demonstration program at “The Market” in Park City, Utah. Analytics information will be developed on increased basket lift, effectiveness of “Point of Selection” advertising, convenience and services offered
to customers and overall viability of the Company technology and patents. |
2. |
Secure the next level of retail market customer in Southern California (approximately 20 stores) with additional stores in Utah. Expand the features and services offered by the Giving Cart and introduce the benefits of a loyalty program using targeted digital media that recognizes customer buying habits. |
3. |
Expand the Company’s marketing staff and branding in preparation for these new markets. |
4. |
Set in motion the steps for the 3rd level of store expansion in 2010 with a national grocery chain. |
No assurance or warranty can be given that the Company will be successful in these endeavors.
Results of Operations - For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $187,502 and $399,993 respectively. For the comparable three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $141,558 and $118,642. The
increased loss was due to final assembly and installation of the new shopping cart unit now installed in the pilot test market in Park City.
Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company requires working capital principally to fund its proposed research and development and operating expenses for which the Company has relied primarily on short-term borrowings and the issuance of restricted common stock. There
are no formal commitments from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings, but the Company has been able to raise minimal additional working capital that has been required to prevent the assets from wasting away. From time to time in the past, required short-term borrowings have been obtained from a principal shareholder or other related entities to obtain working capital through the issuance of restricted common stock to fund operations and fund its revised
business plan.
Cash flows. Operating and development activities used cash of approximately $381,822 and $4,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increased loss was also due to development expenditures for the new shopping cart unit to be installed in the pilot test market in August.
Investing activities have used cash of approximately $0 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Financing activities provided cash of approximately $328,577 and $9,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Financing activities represent sales of the Company’s restricted stock, and earlier borrowings.
At the present time the Company has no bank line of credit or other assured sources of capital, but has entered the best efforts funding commitments described above. The Company continues to explore merger, acquisition or other related business development activities with various parties.
Factors That May Affect Future Results - Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains information based on management’s beliefs and forward-looking statements that involved a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially for the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to the following:
1. |
The demonstration store may not yield the results anticipated |
2. |
The company may not be able to obtain the rights to place the technology in additional stores as presently anticipated, |
3. |
The company may not be able to obtain anticipated financing from investors. |
14
The foregoing statements are based upon management’s current assumptions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Not applicable.
