EAGLE HOLDINGS, LTD.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1: ORGANIZATION
HISTORY
OF BUSINESS
Originally
incorporated in 1985, as Network Information Services, Inc., Network Systems
International, Inc. ("NESI"), a Nevada corporation, was the surviving
corporation of a reverse merger completed in April 1996. The Company became
a
publicly traded entity in connection with the re-organization. On July 10,
1998,
the Company's stock was officially approved for listing on the NASDAQ Small
Cap
market and the Company's common stock began trading on NASDAQ Small Cap under
the symbol NESI. As of April 2, 2002, the securities were de-listed from
the
NASDAQ Small Cap market and now trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
under the symbol DEGH.
Double
Eagle Holdings, Ltd. filed a notification under Form N54a with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”) on April 5, 2007, indicating its
election to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Accordingly, commencing with
the Form 10-Q for June 30, 2007, the Company began filing as a BDC.
On
November 25, 2006, pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,
the
Board of Directors proposed and recommended to the shareholders of the Company
that the Company change the name of the corporation to Double Eagle Holdings,
Ltd. (the “Company”) and increase the authorized common shares to 100,000,000
shares. The Amendments were approved by a majority of the shareholders of
the
Company with an effective date of January 2, 2007.
On
October 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation which authorized a one share for 11 share reverse
split of the authorized issued and unissued common shares. The amendment
was
effective November 6, 2006, and the authorized shares were reduced from
8,333,333 shares to 757,576 shares and the issued shares were reduced from
1,339,219 to 121,749 shares. The par value of the common stock was also reduced
from $.012 to $.001.
As
of
June 21, 2006, pursuant to a settlement agreement, substantially all of the
Company’s debt ($709,181) was forgiven or assumed by the Company’s former CEO
and other shareholders and the Company sold its remaining subsidiary, OnSpan
SmartHouse, Inc. The $709,181 in obligations was recorded as a contribution
to
capital of the Company in September 2006 when the settlement agreement was
finalized.
BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
financial statements at June 30, 2008 and 2007 include the accounts of the
Company.
11
The
financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting and
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These
financial statements have not been audited.
Although
the nature of the Company’s operations and its reported financial position,
results of operations, and its cash flows are dissimilar for the periods
prior
to and subsequent to its becoming an investment company, its financial position
as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and its operating results, cash
flows
and changes in net assets for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008
and
2007 are presented in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to Article
6 of Regulation S-X. In addition, the accompanying footnotes, although different
in nature as to the required disclosures and information reported therein,
are
also presented as they relate to each of the above referenced periods. The
period for the six months ended March 31, 2007, is presented in the same
format
as the periods subsequent to becoming a BDC.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim
reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended
September 30, 2007, which is included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year
ended September 30, 2007. The financial data for the interim periods presented
may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete
fiscal year.
The
operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and the
three months ended June 30, 2007, reflects the Company’s results as a BDC under
the 1940 Act, whereas the quarterly results for the six month period ended
March
31, 2007 reflects the Company’s results prior to operating as a BDC under the
1940 Act.
BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
Double
Eagle Holdings, Inc. filed a notification under Form N54a with the SEC on
April
5, 2007, indicating its election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940
Act.
Accordingly, commencing with the Form 10-Q for June 30, 2007, the Company
began
filing as a BDC. In connection with this election, the Company has adopted
corporate resolutions and intends to operate as a closed-end management
investment company as a BDC. The Company has conducted limited operations
to
date. Under this recent election, the Company has been organized to provide
investors with the opportunity to participate, with a modest amount in venture
capital, in investments that are generally not available to the public and
that
typically require substantially larger financial commitments. In addition,
the
Company will provide professional management and administration that might
otherwise be unavailable to investors if they were to engage directly in
venture
capital investing. The Company has decided to be regulated as a BDC under
the
1940 Act, and will operate as a non-diversified company as that term is defined
in Section 5(b)(2) of the 1940 Act. The Company will at all times conduct
its
business so as to retain its status as a BDC. The Company may not change
the
nature of its business so as to cease to be, or withdraw its election as,
a BDC
without the approval of the holders of a majority of its outstanding voting
stock as defined under the 1940 Act.
12
The
1940
Act defines a BDC as a closed-end management investment company that provides
small businesses that qualify as “eligible portfolio companies” with investment
capital and also significant managerial assistance. As a business development
company, the Company is required to invest at least 70% of its total assets
in
qualifying assets, which, generally, are securities of private companies
or
securities of public companies whose securities are not eligible for purchase
on
margin (which includes many companies with thinly traded securities that
are
quoted in the pink sheets or the NASD Electronic Quotation Service.) The
Company
must also offer to provide significant managerial assistance to these portfolio
companies. Qualifying assets may also include:
·
|
cash,
|
·
|
cash
equivalents,
|
·
|
U.S.
Government securities, or
|
·
|
high-quality
debt investments maturing in one year or less from the date of
investment.
|
The
Company may invest a portion of the remaining 30% of its total assets in
debt
and/or equity securities of companies that may be larger or more stabilized
than
target portfolio companies.
An
eligible portfolio company generally is a United States company that is not
an
investment company and that:
·
|
does
not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included
in
the Federal Reserve Board's over-the-counter margin list;
|
·
|
is
actively controlled by a BDC and has an affiliate of a BDC on its
Board of
Directors; or
|
·
|
meets
such other criteria as may be established by the SEC.
|
Control
under the 1940 Act is presumed to exist where a BDC owns more than 25% of
the
outstanding voting securities of the eligible portfolio company. The Company
may
or may not control its portfolio companies.
An
example of an eligible portfolio company is a new start up company or a
privately owned company that has not yet gone public by selling its shares
in
the open market and has not applied for having its shares listed on a nationally
recognized exchange such as the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange, National
Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System, or the National
Market System. An eligible portfolio company can also be one which is subject
to
filing, has filed, or has recently emerged from reorganization protection
under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act.
A
BDC may
invest the remaining 30% of its total assets in non-qualifying assets, including
companies that are not eligible portfolio companies. The foregoing percentages
will be determined, in the case of financings in which a BDC commits to provide
financing prior to funding the commitment, by the amount of the BDC's total
assets represented by the value of the maximum amount of securities to be
issued
by the borrower or lessee to the BDC pursuant to such commitment.
13
BDC’s
are
required to implement certain accounting provisions that are different from
those to which other reporting companies are required to comply. These
requirements may result in presentation of financial information in a manner
that is more or less favorable than the manner permitted by other reporting
companies. In connection with the implementation of accounting changes to
comply
with the required reporting of financial information, we must also comply
with
SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS
154”).
Prior
to
April 5, 2007, the date the Company began operating as a BDC, the Company’s only
operations during the periods presented included ownership of marketable
investment securities. The Company followed Financial Accounting Standard
No.
115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“FAS
115”) for its marketable investment securities. The Company classified its
marketable investment securities as trading securities, for which FAS 115
provides that unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities
shall
be included in earnings. Since this method of accounting for investments
is the
same as the valuation method required when operating as a BDC, there is no
cumulative effect recognition in the accompanying financial statements upon
becoming an investment company.
BDC’s,
as
governed under the 1940 Act may not avail themselves of any of the provisions
of
Regulation S-B, including any of the streamlined reporting permitted thereunder.
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the presentation of the comparative amounts
to conform to the current presentation.
FISCAL
YEAR
Fiscal
2008 refers to periods in the year ending September 30, 2008. Fiscal 2007
refers
to periods in the year ended September 30, 2007.
NOTE
2: INVESTMENTS
VALUATION
OF INVESTMENTS
As
required by the SEC's Accounting Series Release ("ASR") 118, the investment
committee of the Company is required to assign a fair value to all investments.
To comply with Section 2(a) (41) and Rule 2a-4 under the 1940 Act, it is
incumbent upon the Board of Directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate
factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are
not
readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving
at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary,
the
Board of Directors may appoint persons to assist them in the determination
of
such value and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the Board of
Directors’ direction. The Board of Directors must also, consistent with this
responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used
in
valuing each issue of security in the Company's portfolio. The Directors
must
recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical
assistance is requested from individuals who are not Directors, the findings
of
such individuals must be carefully reviewed by the Directors in order to
satisfy
themselves that the resulting valuations are fair.
14
No
single
standard for determining "fair value in good faith" can be established, since
fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general
principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued
by
the Board of Directors would appear to be the amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods that
use
this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a
discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity
with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.
Some
of the general factors that the Board of Directors should consider in
determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include:
1)
the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature
and
duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation
of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased
and sold. Among the more specific factors which are to be considered are:
type
of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding,
discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at
time
of purchase, special reports prepared by analysts, information as to any
transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger
proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and extent of
public
trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies and other
relevant matters.
The
Board
of Directors has arrived at the following valuation method for its investments.
Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market
value
of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded or
is
thinly traded and in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the investment
shall be based on the following criteria:
· |
Total
amount of the Company's actual investment. This amount shall include
all
loans, purchase price of securities and fair value of securities
given at
the time of exchange;
|
· |
Total
revenues for the preceding twelve months;
|
· |
Earnings
before interest, taxes and
depreciation;
|
· |
Estimate
of likely sale price of investment;
|
· |
Net
assets of investment; and
|
· |
Likelihood
of investment generating positive returns (going concern).
|
The
estimated value of each investment shall be determined as follows:
·
|
Where
no or limited revenues or earnings are present, then the value
shall be
the greater of net assets, estimated sales price, or total cost
for each
investment;
|
·
|
Where
revenues and/or earnings are present, then the value shall be the
greater
of one-times (1x) revenues or three-times (3x) earnings, plus the
greater
of the net assets of the investment or the total amount of the
actual
investment; or
|
·
|
Under
both scenarios, the value of the investment shall be adjusted down
if
there is a reasonable expectation that the Company will not be
able to
recoup the investment or if there is reasonable doubt about the
investment’s ability to continue as a going concern.
|
Utilizing
the foregoing method, the Company has valued its investments as
follows:
UNAFFILIATED

AFFILIATED
PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
The
Company acquired 60,000 shares (60%) of Ultimate Social Network, Inc. (“USN”) in
December 2007 in exchange for 6,400,000 shares of its common stock. The

pursuant to its 1-E of $0.05 per share. In addition the Company has a 6%
line-of-credit with USN with a balance of $145,522 at June 30, 2008. USN
presently owns “The Ultimate College Model” contest website which has been
operating since March 2007. The Ultimate College Model contest allows men and

NOTE
3: STOCKHOLDERS’
EQUITY
PREFERRED
STOCK
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had 2,713 shares outstanding of its Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A"). Series A had a stated liquidation
preference value of $100 per share redeemable at the Company's option, had
no
voting rights, and each preferred share was convertible into one share of the
Company's common stock as adjusted for stock splits. Dividends on the Series
A
were to be paid monthly in cash at a rate of 12% of the original issue. The
Company's Board of Directors, elected to suspend the payment of Series A
dividends. This decision was made in light of the general economic conditions
and to preserve the Company's working capital in order to help maintain the
continued viability of the Company. As of December 31, 2007 the amount of
accumulated unpaid dividends on the preferred stock was approximately $193,726
of which $162,780 had not been declared.
In
January 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors declared all prior undeclared
preferred dividends in the amount of $162,780. The Company redeemed the
preferred stock at its liquidation value of $271,300 and paid all accumulated
dividends of $193,726 with $67,500 in cash and 25,150,000 shares of its
restricted common stock.
COMMON
STOCK
On
October 25, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation which authorized a one share for 11 share reverse
split of the authorized issued and unissued common shares. The amendment was
effective November 6, 2006, and the authorized shares were reduced from
8,333,333 shares to 757,576 shares and the issued shares were reduced from
1,339,219 to 121,749 shares. All share transactions in this Form 10-Q have
been
adjusted to reflect the reverse split. The par value of the common stock was
also reduced from $.012 to $.001.
On
November 25, 2006, pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,
the
Board of Directors proposed and recommended to the shareholders of the Company
that the Company change the name of the corporation to Double Eagle Holdings,
Ltd. and increase the authorized common shares to 100,000,000 shares. The
Amendments were approved by a majority of the shareholders of the Company with
an effective date of January 2, 2007.
On
May 3,
2007, the Company filed an Offering Circular under Regulation E promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933 to sell from 4,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares

FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
From
time
to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements relative to such
matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological
developments and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act
of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. All statements
other than statements of historical fact included in this section or elsewhere
in this report are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the
Exchange Act of 1934. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements
include: 1. General economic factors including, but not limited to, changes
in
interest rates and trends in disposable income; 2. Information and technological
advances; 3. Competition; and 4. Success of marketing, advertising and
promotional campaigns.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND POLICIES
Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate
our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition,
valuation of investments in portfolio companies, accrued expenses, financing
operations, contingencies and litigation. We will base our estimates and
judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are
believed to be 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. The most significant
accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements
include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and
liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, such as the
investments in portfolio companies. These accounting policies are described
at

Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended
September 30, 2007.
PLAN
OF OPERATION
On
April
5, 2007, we filed a notification under Form N54a with the SEC indicating our
election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
On
May 3,
2007, we filed an Offering Circular under Regulation E promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933 to sell from 4,000,000 to 50,000,000 shares of our common
stock and raise up to $5,000,000 at prices ranging from $.05 to $1.25 per share.
The offering was completed on May 3, 2008, at which time the Company had sold
14,920,666 shares for total proceeds of $773,283 ($629,583 during the current
fiscal year).
18
We
have
acquired a number of investments (Note 2) and plan to continue to raise funds
and make additional investments.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During
the nine months ended June 30, 2008, working capital, including investments,
increased to $788,070 from $116,964 at September 30, 2007. The primary reasons
for the increases are the sale of common stock for $629,583 during the period,
the exchange of our common stock to acquire a portfolio company investment
valued at $320,000, the issuance of 25,150,000 common shares and payment of
$67,500 in cash to redeem all of our outstanding preferred stock in the amount
of $271,300 and for payment of all accrued preferred dividends in the amount
of
$193,726, and less the net decrease in net assets from operations of $384,757.
Net decrease in net assets from operations in 2008 includes an unrealized loss
on our portfolio investments in the amount of $63,750. We plan to continue
making investments during 2008 and expect to raise funds as needed from sales
of
our common stock pursuant to a 1-E which we expect to issue in the near
future.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Comparison

Company sold one investment in the 2008 period and realized a gain of $5,000.
The Company also recognized unrealized depreciation of $63,750 on one if its
portfolio company investments.
Net
Asset Value
As
a BDC,
certain of our activities and disclosures are made in reference to Net Asset
Value (“NAV”) which is the value of our portfolio assets less debt and preferred
stock. This may be viewed, simply and generalized, as the value of our assets
available to our common stock holders. As of the date of the financial
information in this report, the value of our portfolio of assets including
investments and securities in portfolio companies and cash is $805,524 and
from
this, are subtracted liabilities and debts of $17,454. The preferred stock
was
redeemed during the previous quarter; accordingly, there is no amount to
subtract for the rights of preferred shareholders. The NAV is therefore
$788,070. The Net Asset Value per Share (“NAV/S”) is calculated by dividing the
NAV by the number of common shares outstanding (50,092,487). The NAV/S is
$0.0157.
Our
Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
Management’s
Analysis of Business
We
will
have significant relative flexibility in selecting and structuring our
investments. We will not be subject to many of the regulatory limitations that
govern traditional lending institutions such as banks. We will seek to structure
our investments so as to take into account the uncertain and potentially
variable financial performance of our portfolio companies. This should enable
our portfolio companies to retain access to committed capital at different
stages in their development and eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding
their capital allocation decisions. We will calculate rates of return on
invested capital based on a combination of up-front commitment fees, current
and
deferred interest rates and residual values, which may take the form of common
stock, warrants, equity appreciation rights or future contract payments. We
believe that this flexible approach to structuring investments will facilitate
positive, long-term relationships with our portfolio companies and enable us
to
become a preferred source of capital to them. We also believe our approach
should enable debt financing to develop into a viable alternative capital source
for funding the growth of target companies that wish to avoid the dilutive
effects of equity financings for existing equity holders.
20
Longer
Investment Horizon - We will not be subject to periodic capital return
requirements. These requirements, which are standard for most private equity
and
venture capital funds, typically require that these funds return to investors
the initial capital investment after a pre-agreed time, together with any
capital gains on such capital investment. These provisions often force such
funds to seek the return of their investments in portfolio companies through
mergers, public equity offerings or other liquidity events more quickly than
they otherwise might, which can result in a lower overall return to investors
and adversely affect the ultimate viability of the affected portfolio companies.
Because we may invest in the same portfolio companies as these funds, we are
subject to these risks if these funds demand a return on their investments
in
the portfolio companies. We believe that our flexibility to take a longer-term
view should help us to maximize returns on our invested capital while still
meeting the needs of our portfolio companies.
Established
Deal Sourcing Network - We believe that, through our management and directors,
we have solid contacts and sources from which to generate investment
opportunities. These contacts and sources include:
·
|
public
and private companies,
|
·
|
investment
bankers,
|
·
|
attorneys,
|
·
|
accountants,
|
·
|
consultants,
and
|
·
|
commercial
bankers.
|
However,
we cannot assure you that such relationships will lead to the origination of
debt or other investments.
Investment
Criteria
As
a
matter of policy, we will not purchase or sell real estate or interests in
real
estate or real estate investment trusts except that we may:
·
|
purchase
and sell real estate or interests in real estate in connection with
the
orderly liquidation of investments, or in connection with foreclosure
on
collateral;
|
·
|
own
the securities of companies that are in the business of buying, selling
or
developing real estate; or
|
·
|
finance
the purchase of real estate by our portfolio
companies.
|
We
will
limit our investments in more traditional securities (stock and debt
instruments) and will not, as a matter of policy:
·
|
sell
securities short except with regard to managing the risks associated
with
publicly-traded securities issued by our portfolio
companies;
|
·
|
purchase
securities on margin (except to the extent that we may purchase securities
with borrowed money); or
|
21
·
|
engage
in the purchase or sale of commodities or commodity contracts, including
futures contracts except where necessary in working out a distressed
loan;
or in those investment situations where hedging the risks associated
with
interest rate fluctuations is appropriate, and, in such cases, only
after
all necessary registrations or exemptions from registration with
the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission have been
obtained.
|
Prospective
Portfolio Company Characteristics - We have identified several criteria that
we
believe will prove important in seeking our investment objective with respect
to
target companies. These criteria will provide general guidelines for our
investment decisions; however, we caution readers that not all of these criteria
will be met by each prospective portfolio company in which we choose to invest.
Experienced
Management - We will generally require that our portfolio companies have an
experienced president or management team. We will also require the portfolio
companies to have in place proper incentives to induce management to succeed
and
to act in concert with our interests as investors, including having significant
equity interests. We intend to provide assistance in this area either
supervising management or providing management for our portfolio
companies.
Products
or Services - We will seek companies that are involved in products or services
that do not require significant additional capital or research expenditures.
In
general, we will seek target companies that make innovative use of proven
technologies or methods.
Proprietary
Advantage - We expect to favor companies that can demonstrate some kind of
proprietary sustainable advantage with respect to their competition. Proprietary
advantages include, but are not limited to:
·
|
patents
or trade secrets with respect to owning or manufacturing its products,
and
|
·
|
a
demonstrable and sustainable marketing advantage over its
competition
|
Marketing
strategies impose unusual burdens on management to be continuously ahead of
its
competition, either through some kind of technological advantage or by being
continuously more creative than its competition.
Profitable
or Nearly Profitable Operations Based on Cash Flow from Operations - We will
focus on target companies that are profitable or nearly profitable on an
operating cash flow basis. Typically, we would not expect to invest in start-up
companies unless there is a clear exit strategy in place.
Potential
for Future Growth - We will generally require that a prospective target company,
in addition to generating sufficient cash flow to cover its operating costs
and
service its debt, demonstrate an ability to increase its revenues and operating
cash flow over time. The anticipated growth rate of a prospective target company
will be a key factor in determining the value that we ascribe to any warrants
or
other equity securities that we may acquire in connection with an investment
in
debt securities.
22
Exit
Strategy - Prior to making an investment in a portfolio company, we will analyze
the potential for that company to increase the liquidity of its common equity
through a future event that would enable us to realize appreciation, if any,
in
the value of our equity interest. Liquidity events may include:
·
|
an
initial public offering,
|
·
|
a
private sale of our equity interest to a third party,
|
·
|
a
merger or an acquisition of the portfolio company, or
|
·
|
a
purchase of our equity position by the portfolio company or one of
its
stockholders.
|
We
may
acquire warrants to purchase equity securities and/or convertible preferred
stock of the eligible portfolio companies in connection with providing
financing. The terms of the warrants, including the expiration date, exercise
price and terms of the equity security for which the warrant may be exercised,
will be negotiated individually with each eligible portfolio company, and will
likely be affected by the price and terms of securities issued by the eligible
portfolio company to other venture capitalists and other holders. We anticipate
that most warrants will be for a term of five to ten years, and will have an
exercise price based upon the price at which the eligible portfolio company
most
recently issued its equity securities or, if a new equity offering is imminent,
the price at which such new equity securities will be offered. The equity
securities for which the warrant will be exercised generally will be common
stock of which there may be one or more classes or convertible preferred stock.
Substantially all the warrants and underlying equity securities will be
restricted securities under the 1933 Act at the time of the issuance. We will
generally negotiate for registration rights with the issuer that may
provide:
·
|
“piggyback"
registration rights, which will permit us under certain circumstances,
to
include some or all of the securities owned by us in a registration
statement filed by the eligible portfolio company, or
|
·
|
in
circumstances, "demand" registration rights permitting us under certain
circumstances, to require the eligible portfolio company to register
the
securities under the 1933 Act, in some cases at our expense. We will
generally negotiate net issuance provisions in the warrants, which
will
allow us to receive upon exercise of the warrant without payment
of any
cash a net amount of shares determined by the increase in the value
of the
issuer's stock above the exercise price stated in the warrant.
|
Liquidation
Value of Assets - Although we do not intend to operate as an asset-based lender,
the prospective liquidation value of the assets, if any, collateralizing any
debt securities that we hold will be an important factor in our credit analysis.
We will emphasize both tangible assets, such as:
·
|
accounts
receivable,
|
·
|
inventory,
and
|
·
|
equipment,
|
and
intangible assets, such as:
·
|
intellectual
property,
|
·
|
customer
lists,
|
·
|
networks,
and
|
·
|
databases.
|
23
Investment
Process
Due
Diligence - If a target company generally meets the characteristics described
above, we will perform initial due diligence, including:
·
|
company
and technology assessments,
|
·
|
evaluation
of existing management team,
|
·
|
market
analysis,
|
·
|
competitive
analysis,
|
·
|
evaluation
of management, risk analysis and transaction size,
|
·
|
pricing,
and
|
·
|
structure
analysis.
|
Much
of
this work will be done by management and professionals who are well known by
management. The criteria delineated above provide general parameters for our
investment decisions. We intend to pursue an investment strategy by further
imposing such criteria and reviews that best insures the value of our
investments. As unique circumstances may arise or be uncovered, not all of
such
criteria will be followed in each instance but the process provides a guideline
by which investments can be prudently made and managed. Upon successful
completion of the preliminary evaluation, we will decide whether to deliver
a
non-binding letter of intent and move forward towards the completion of a
transaction.
In
our
review of the management team, we look at the following:
·
|
Interviews
with management and significant shareholders, including any financial
or
strategic sponsor;
|
·
|
Review
of financing history;
|
·
|
Review
of management's track record with respect
to:
|
o
|
product
development and marketing,
|
o
|
mergers
and acquisitions,
|
o
|
alliances,
|
o
|
collaborations,
|
o
|
research
and development outsourcing and other strategic activities;
|
·
|
Assessment
of competition; and
|
·
|
Review
of exit strategies.
|
In
our
review of the financial conditions, we look at the following:
·
|
Evaluation
of future financing needs and plans;
|
·
|
Detailed
analysis of financial performance;
|
·
|
Development
of pro forma financial projections; and
|
·
|
Review
of assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, if any,
and
legal and regulatory risks.
|
In
our
review of the products and services of the portfolio company, we look at the
following:
·
|
Evaluation
of intellectual property position;
|
·
|
Review
of existing customer or similar agreements and arrangements;
|
24
·
|
Analysis
of core technology;
|
·
|
Assessment
of collaborations;
|
·
|
Review
of sales and marketing procedures;
and
|
·
|
Assessment
of market and growth potential.
|
Upon
completion of these analyses, we will conduct on-site visits with the target
company's management team. Also, in cases in which a target company is at a
mature stage of development and if other matters that warrant such an
evaluation, we will obtain an independent appraisal of the target
company.
25
Ongoing
Relationships with Portfolio Companies
Monitoring
- We will continuously monitor our portfolio companies in order to determine
whether they are meeting our financing criteria and their respective business
plans. We may decline to make additional investments in portfolio companies
that
do not continue to meet our financing criteria. However, we may choose to make
additional investments in portfolio companies that do not do so, but we believe
that we will nevertheless perform well in the future.
We
will
monitor the financial trends of each portfolio company to assess the appropriate
course of action for each company and to evaluate overall portfolio quality.
Our
management team and consulting professionals, who are well known by our
management team, will closely monitor the status and performance of each
individual company on at least a quarterly and, in some cases, a monthly basis.
We
will
use several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value
of our debt and equity positions, including but not limited to the following:
·
|
Assessment
of business development success, including product development,
financings, profitability and the portfolio company's overall adherence
to
its business plan;
|
·
|
Periodic
and regular contact with portfolio company management to discuss
financial
position, requirements and
accomplishments;
|
·
|
Periodic
and regular formal update interviews with portfolio company management
and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor;
|
·
|
Attendance
at and participation in board
meetings;
|
·
|
Review
of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections
for portfolio companies.
|
Managerial
Assistance - As a business development company, we will offer, and in many
cases
may provide, significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.
This
assistance will typically involve:
·
|
monitoring
the operations of our portfolio companies,
|
·
|
participating
in their board and management meetings,
|
·
|
consulting
with and advising their officers, and
|
·
|
providing
other organizational and financial guidance.
|
Investment
Amounts
The
amount of funds committed to a portfolio company and the ownership percentage
received will vary depending on the maturity of the portfolio company, the
quality and completeness of the portfolio company's management team, the
perceived business opportunity, the capital required compared to existing
capital, and the potential return. Although investment amounts will vary
considerably, we expect that the average investment, including follow-on
investments, will be between $25,000 and $5,000,000.
26
Competition
Our
primary competitors to provide financing to target companies will include
private equity and venture capital funds, other equity and non-equity based
investment funds and investment banks and other sources of financing, including
traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and specialty
finance companies. Many of these entities have substantially greater financial
and managerial resources than we will have. We believe that our competitive
advantage with regard to quality target companies relates to our ability to
negotiate flexible terms and to complete our review process on a timely basis.
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in implementing our
strategies.

ITEM 3: |
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
Market
risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices. We
are
primarily exposed to equity price risk, which arises from exposure to securities
that represent an ownership interest in our portfolio companies. The value
of
our equity securities and our other investments are based on quoted market
prices or our Board of Directors’ good faith determination of their fair value
(which is based, in part, on quoted market prices). Market prices of common
equity securities, in general, are subject to fluctuations, which could cause
the amount to be realized upon the sale or exercise of the instruments to differ
significantly from the current reported value. The fluctuations may result
from
perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of our portfolio
companies, the relative price of alternative investments, general market
conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular
security.
ITEM 4: |
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) as of June 30, 2008. Based on that review and evaluation, which included
inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the CEO concluded
that
the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and
implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company
required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms, including insuring that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls
There
have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the
evaluation described above, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
