Notes to Condensed Financial Statements | |
September 30, 2010 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2009 |
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, 2009 Annual Report on | ||
Form 10-K. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not | ||
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, | ||
2010. | ||
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 1989. The | ||
Company was in the development stage from 1989 to 1991. The Company was an operating | ||
company from 1992 to December 8, 1993 when it filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 | ||
bankruptcy. The Company was inactive until July 5, 1996 when the Company merged with | ||
Klever Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger and changed its name to Klever Marketing, Inc. The | ||
Company has been in the development stage since the reverse merger occurred. | ||
The Company was formed for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain capital, to file and | ||
acquire patents, to seek out, investigate, develop, manufacture, market and distribute an | ||
electronic shopping cart for in-store advertising, promotion and media content and retail | ||
shopper services, which have potential for profit. | ||
NOTE 2 - | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Loss Per Share | ||
In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) (formerly SFAS No. 128), the | ||
computations of basic and fully diluted loss per share of common stock are based on the | ||
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period of the financial | ||
statements, plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock | ||
options and warrants outstanding during the period, or the exercise of convertible debentures. | ||
Common stock equivalents have not been included in the computations for the periods ended | ||
September 30, 2010 and 2009 because they are anti-dilutive. |

Income Taxes | ||
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) | ||
(formerly SFAS No. 109). Under this accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities | ||
are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and | ||
liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and | ||
liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and | ||
liabilities generating the differences. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance with | ||
respect to any deferred tax assets. |

September 30, 2010 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2009 |
NOTE 2 - | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
Income Taxes (Continued) | ||
ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position | ||
will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more- | ||
likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the | ||
amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, | ||
the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with and | ||
measurement standards established by ASC 740. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the | ||
Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax rate if | ||
recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit through | ||
September 30, 2010. The Company also estimates that the unrecognized tax benefit will not | ||
change significantly within the next twelve months. | ||
The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing | ||
the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Companys financial position and | ||
results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit | ||
depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the | ||
Federal tax laws. | ||
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a | ||
change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the | ||
valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate. | ||
There are no tax positions included in the accompanying financial statements at September 30, | ||
2010 or December 31, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which | ||
there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax | ||
accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility | ||
period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash | ||
to the taxing authority to an earlier period. | ||
As the Company has significant net operating loss carry forwards, even if certain of the | ||
Companys tax positions were disallowed, it is not foreseen that the Company would have to | ||
pay any taxes in the near future. Consequently, the Company does not calculate the impact of | ||
interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed. | ||
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Utah jurisdictions. Tax years | ||
2008 to current remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. | ||
From inception through September 30, 2010, the Company has incurred net losses and, | ||
therefore, had no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward | ||
has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carryforward is approximately $18.3 | ||
million as of September 30, 2010, and will expire in the years 2026 through 2029. | ||
Research and Development | ||
Research and development of the Klever-Kart System began with the sole purpose of reducing | ||
thefts of shopping carts. A voice-activated alarm system was envisioned. As time and | ||
technology progressed, the present embodiment of the Klever-Kart System evolved into a | ||
"product specific" point-of-purchase advertising system consisting of an easily readable | ||
electronic display that attaches to any shopping cart, a shelf mounted message sending unit | ||
that automatically sends featured products' ad-message to the display and a host computer |

using proprietary software. The Company is currently developing mobile smart phone | ||
technology that will provide similar functionality to the Klever-Kart System. | ||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company expended $96,894 | ||
and $0, respectively, for research and development of the technology involved with its patents. | ||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||
The Company has adopted ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines | ||
fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value | ||
measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels | ||
are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices | ||
(unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation | ||
methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs | ||
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full | ||
term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and | ||
significant to the fair measurement. | ||
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets as of September 30, 2010 | ||
and December 31, 2009 for cash and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and | ||
are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the | ||
origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of | ||
interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms | ||
and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of September 30, 2010 and | ||
December 31, 2009. | ||
Deferred Stock Offering Costs | ||
During 2009, the Company paid a non-refundable investment banking fee of $20,000 to an | ||
investment banking firm to assist the Company in raising $2,500,000 in additional capital to | ||
support its growth and working capital requirements. The amount was intended to be offset | ||
against the proceeds received once the funds were raised. During the second quarter of 2010, | ||
the Company terminated the agreement with the investment banking firm and has elected to try | ||
and raise funds through a different source. Accordingly, the $20,000 deferred cost amount was | ||
expensed during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. | ||
NOTE 3 - | GOING CONCERN | |
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of | ||
$308,253 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and, as of that date, the | ||
Companys current and total liabilities exceeded its current and total assets by $1,033,960. | ||
These factors, as well as the uncertain conditions that the Company faces relative to capital | ||
raising activities, create substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going | ||
concern. The Company is seeking to raise additional capital through private placement | ||
offerings and is targeting strategic partners in an effort to finalize the development of its | ||
products and begin generating revenues. 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 accompanying financial statements do not | ||
include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as | ||
a going concern. |

NOTE 3 - | GOING CONCERN (Continued) | |
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $4,374 of cash available on hand. 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 | ||
2010. However, management cannot make any assurances that such financing will be secured. | ||
NOTE 4 - | PREFERRED STOCK | |
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all of the outstanding preferred stock was | ||
owned by PSF Inc. which is a company controlled by the Companys CEO. Historically, the | ||
Company has paid dividends on the preferred stock by issuing additional shares of preferred | ||
stock and the dividends have been recorded at the time the shares were issued. The Company | ||
has paid dividends on the preferred stock through December 31, 2008. No dividends for | ||
preferred stock have been accrued or paid since December 31, 2008. | ||
On February 7, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized and established Class A Voting | ||
Preferred Stock (Class A Shares) as a class of its $.01 par value, 2,000,000 shares | ||
authorized, preferred stock. Class A Shares consisted of 1,000,000 shares with 125,000 | ||
shares thereof designated as Series 1 shares. On May 20, 2002, the Board of Directors | ||
amended the number of authorized shares of Class A voting preferred stock to 55,000 shares. | ||
Class A Shares are convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.60 | ||
(subject to adjustment). | ||

NOTE 6 - | STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | |||
The shareholders approved, by a majority vote, the adoption of the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan | ||||
(the Plan). As amended on August 11, 2003, the Plan reserves 20,000,000 shares of | ||||
common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options which may be granted from time-to- | ||||
time to officers, directors and certain employees and consultants of the Company or its | ||||
subsidiaries. The Plan permits the award of both qualified and non-qualified incentive stock | ||||
options. On August 18, 2003, the Company registered its Amended Stock Incentive Plan of | ||||
Klever Marketing, Inc. on Form S-8. | ||||
Effective December 29, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors granted certain consultants | ||||
options to purchase a total of 50,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.25 per share, | ||||
which expire on December 29, 2010. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock | ||||
award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model pursuant to ASC 718. | ||||
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of exercise behavior data and the use | ||||
of a number of assumptions including volatility of the Companys stock price, the weighted | ||||
average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the warrants. | ||||
Because the Company did not pay any dividends during 2009 and 2010, the dividend rate | ||||
variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero. | ||||
On January 13, 2010, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement for a term of | ||||
five (5) months commencing on January 15, 2010 and ending on June 15, 2010. In | ||||
consideration for such services, the Company originally agreed to pay the investor relations | ||||
firm $5,000 per month. In addition, the Company was to issue a total of 200,000 warrants to | ||||
purchase shares of common stock at $0.30 per share, with an expiration date of two (2) years | ||||
from the date of issuance. 100,000 of the warrants vested on February 1, 2010. The remaining | ||||
100,000 warrants were to be issued upon renewal of the agreement, if completed, on | ||||
September 15, 2010, and were to vest on September 30, 2010. The warrants include a | ||||
Cashless Exercise Provision, as well as Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company | ||||
recorded an expense of $3,870 during the first quarter of 2010 based upon the valuation of the | ||||
first 100,000 warrants that vested on February 1, 2010. After the second month and payment | ||||
of $10,000, this agreement was cancelled, by mutual consent, as being too premature to | ||||
continue at the present time. The second 100,000 warrants, therefore, were never issued. | ||||
During 2010, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants based on the following | ||||
weighted average assumptions: | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.97% | |||
Expected life | 2 years | |||
Expected volatility | 352.41% | |||
Dividend yield | 0.0% | |||
The following table sets forth the options and warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2010 | ||||
and December 31, 2009. |

not required to initiate a successful funding in order to retain the shares. | ||
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued 160,000 shares to various | ||
consultants including the son of the founding shareholder in exchange for services provided. | ||

of the shares. | ||
As more fully described in Note 5, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company | ||
issued 150,000 shares of common stock as full settlement of all outstanding debts the | ||
Company owed Arthur Portugal, a former officer of the Company. | ||
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued 50,000 shares of stock to | ||

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |
Forward Looking Statements | |
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, 2010, 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 stage 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 | |
intellectual property interests, 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 | |
As discussed in the last quarterly report, the developments in mobile technology have moved ahead so | |
rapidly that the Company has been able to accelerate its plans to move its technology to a mobile | |
platform. Research on this change was conducted during the 2nd quarter of 2010 and a decision by the | |
Board was made to move forward with developing this technology. During the 3rd quarter of 2010, the | |
Company took the following steps to implement this new direction. | |
First the Company CEO, Paul G. Begum, moved the Company headquarters to Los Angeles where it | |
could be closer to the emerging mobile technology and the supermarket industry. Mr. Begum also moved | |
to Los Angeles. | |
Second, the Company hired Briabe Media, Inc., a mobile phone media and technology company located | |
in Venice, California, to develop a requirements study for the Companys mobile phone application and | |
backend database. Briabe was an excellent choice for this work due both to their high level of mobile | |
technology and marketing expertise and as a small, flexible company who could work well with Klever. | |
Briabe finished their requirements document in July, 2010. After Klever reviewed the final document, | |
both parties confirmed the direction the Company was heading and this document became the basis for | |
proceeding into implementation. |
17 |
Third, Innovus, Inc. was engaged to help advance and calibrate the Companys vision and strategy. That | |
effort not only provided proof of concept of the Briabe recommended direction, but helped to profoundly | |
shift the Companys view of the market by revealing previously unseen opportunities. Further, it elevated | |
the excitement and confidence that Klever Marketing is uniquely positioned to deliver a highly | |
differentiated solution to the market. Innovus continues to be an integral part of the team and is working to | |
ensure the rapid adoption of the Companys products and services by CPG companies and grocery | |
retailers. | |
Fourth, the Company hired Qualzoom, Inc. located in San Diego, California to develop its mobile phone | |
application and backend database. Qualzoom, Inc. is a company with close ties to Qualcomm. | |
Qualzoom is a very capable company for implementation of Klevers new technology products and to | |
extend the capabilities of these products into the future to bring together the consumer, product | |
manufacturer (CPGs) and retailers into one integrated database that the Company anticipates will be a | |
long-term niche in Klevers future products. | |
Completion of our Beta Test product remains on schedule for delivery by the end of 2010. We expect to | |
test and roll out the technology during the half of 2011. The Company has been effective in executing its | |
new product releases in the past, and is confident we will be able to repeat that with our mobile product, | |
although there are no guarantees this timeline will be met. | |
The new product line will combine the best features of our previous shopping cart technology with the | |
new mobile, cloud computing and database technologies that could lead to fundamental changes in how | |
impressions are made that entice customers to buy products. The Klever shopping experience begins | |
with the creation of the shopping list. Whether they are items scanned in the home or items identified | |
using an electronic shopping list template or through a downloaded recipe, the consumer can easily build | |
a shopping list. We believe that the Klever system will make building a shopping list efficient and fun for | |
the consumer while simultaneously creating the first touch point to learn their preference and needs. With | |
the initial shopping list complete, the consumer will no longer need to wade through an ocean of coupons | |
looking for the few they want. Instead, the coupons they want and need will come to them automatically. | |
Additionally, CPG companies and retailers will have the opportunity to up sell their products and make a | |
direct and targeted impression on the consumer which should significantly contribute to basket up lift. | |
This not only will save the consumer valuable time, but the simplicity of this process which is a key | |
differentiator for Klever Marketing, is expected to save the CPG companies and retailers time and money. | |
Using GPS capabilities, consumers can identify, select and check into the grocery store of their choice. | |
Once in the grocery store, the consumers mobile device will become an indispensable shopping tool. Key | |
features that consumers with benefit from with the Klever system include receiving personalized | |
messages and special offers, taking advantage of in-store services such as placing deli and | |
pharmaceutical orders, and redeeming coupons at checkout. With a simple scan or on-line retrieval, the | |
consumer will be able to receive important information about a product while being empowered to make | |
informed buying decisions. All of these features will help make the consumer more efficient and effective | |
during his shopping experience. | |
Beyond the initial product release, plans are already being made to incorporate additional features and | |
capabilities that promise to keep Klever Marketing in the vanguard of the shopping experience. Some of | |
these include an intuitive and intelligent shopping list that learns what a consumer wants from their | |
historic buying habits. Tell-a-Friend options that, through blogs and social networks such as Facebook, | |
allows a consumer to share and receive recommendations and experiences. This form of viral marketing | |
should prove to be an extremely valuable tool for CPG companies and grocery retailers to strengthen | |
consumer loyalty and increase store sales. Also, integrating redemption and loyalty programs at checkout | |
promises even more convenience for consumers in addition to generating tremendous savings. | |
To this end, an investment banker, Torrey Hills Capital from Del Mar California, has been hired to secure | |
additional capital and they have identified a potential lender. A term sheet has been executed to arrange | |
financing within a one month period subject to completion of their due diligence. While there can be no | |
guarantee this funding will be obtained, the Company has been working diligently to arrange this next | |
level of funding, and we are optimistic this funding will be arranged. To continue to protect the | |
Companys patent rights, our patent attorneys have filed for additional trademarks on our software. |
18 |
During the third quarter of 2010, 1,860,000 new shares of the Companys common stock were issued | |
consisting of 1,000,000 shares being issued to Torrey Hills Capital for their role in helping the Company | |
find financing, 150,000 shares were issued to a former employee to settle a dispute and all outstanding | |
obligations to that individual, 210,000 shares were issued to consultants and other service providers, and | |
500,000 were issued to an investor for $75,000 in cash. | |
Anticipated Business Development in the Next 12 Months | |
During the next twelve months, the Company will work diligently to complete its KleverSHOP, KleverNET | |
and Klever MANAGEMENT development. Testing and rollout are on schedule for launch during the first | |
half of 2011. Beginning in the 4th quarter 2010 the Company will also be implementing its comprehensive | |
marketing plan to bring this new opportunity to the attention of consumers, CPGs and retailers through a | |
number of medias some traditional and many on the new wave of market penetration in the mobile era. | |
During the launch period, the Company plans to add staff to transition to full operations in preparation for | |
our Phase 2 development. No assurance or warranty can be given that the Company will be successful | |
in these endeavors. | |
Results of Operations - For the three months ending September 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss | |
of $177,784 versus a loss of $187,502 for the comparable period in 2009. The reduced loss was due | |
primarily to lower costs for salaries and travel coupled with lower consulting costs. | |
For the nine months ending September 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $308,253 as compared | |
to a net loss of $399,993 for the nine months ended September 30, 3009. The decreased loss was due | |
primarily due to less general and administrative payroll costs as the Company replaced and down sized | |
its management team during 2009. | |
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 keep the | |
Company moving forward. From time to time, 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 in order to fund operations in accordance with the Companys revised business plan. | |
Cash flows. Operating activities used cash of approximately $102,117 and $321,822 for the nine months | |
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The improvement in cash flow was due primarily to | |
reduced salaries and overhead costs. | |
The Company did not engage in any investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, | |
2010 and 2009, respectively. | |
Financing activities provided cash of approximately $85,450 and $328,577 for the nine months ended | |
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Financing activities are comprised of sales of the | |
Companys restricted stock, and additional borrowings. Cash flows from stock issuance activity totaled | |
$64,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $349,000 for the same period in the | |
prior year. The down turn in the economy has made raising capital more difficult. At the present time the | |
Company has no bank line of credit or other assured sources of capital, but has entered into 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 - Managements Discussion and Analysis contains information | |||
based on managements 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 company may not obtain adequate funding to fully develop and implement its mobile phone | ||
application | |||
2. | The company may not achieve the forecasted revenue growth from sales to CPGs and retailers | ||
3. | The company may face unforeseen competition from other mobile companies. | ||
The foregoing statements are based upon managements current assumptions. | |||
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. | |||
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk | |||
Not applicable. | |||
Item 4. Controls and Procedures | |||
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures | |||
During the fiscal period covered in this report, management has conducted an evaluation of the | |||
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule, | |||
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer | |||
and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective | |||
as of September 30, 2010 due to material weaknesses. | |||
Managements assessment identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial | |||
reporting: | |||
| The small size of our Company limits our ability to achieve the desired level of segregation of | ||
duties within our internal controls and financial reporting. We do have a separate CEO and CFO, | |||
plus an Audit Committee to review and oversee the financial policies and procedures of the | |||
Company, which helps us achieve some segregation of duties. However, until such time as the | |||
Company is able to hire additional financial personnel, we do not meet the optimum segregation | |||
of duties desired. In the interim, we will continue to strengthen the role of our Audit Committee | |||
and their review of our internal control procedures. | |||
| We have not achieved the desired level of documentation of our internal controls and procedures. | ||
This documentation will be strengthened to limit the possibility of any lapse in controls occurring. | |||
In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post- | |||
closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally | |||
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this | |||
report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows | |||
for the periods presented. | |||
Management intends to further remediate the material weaknesses going forward by utilizing external | |||
financial consulting services in a more effective manner. Prior to the review by our principal independent | |||
accounting firm, management, with the help of outside consultants, will review the Companys financial | |||
information to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or | |||
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within | |||
the time periods specified in the Commissions rule and forms. |
20 |
The Company plans to engage an outside consulting firm to assist them with implementing a SOX | |
compliance program. In addition, we intend to engage a CFO at a future date who will help with our | |
segregation of duties and internal control issues going forward. | |
Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, these material | |
weaknesses may not be overcome in the near term due to our limited financial resources. Until such | |
remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the advice of outside Professionals and | |
Consultants. | |
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting | |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13(a)15(f) and | |
15(d)15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that | |
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial | |
reporting. | |
