INTERIM PRESENTATION
The December 31, 2008 balance sheet
data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009, its results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and its
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full year.
While the Company believes that the
disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and accompanying notes included in the Company's annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company has incurred accumulated losses totaling $19,423,684, has a working
capital deficit of $1,365,988 and is in default on several notes payable (see
Note 5).
Since inception (February 23, 1999)
through March 31, 2009, the Company has not generated any significant revenues.
Through the date of these financial statements viable operations have not been
achieved and the Company has been unsuccessful in raising all the capital that
it requires. Revenues have been minimal and the Company continues to require
substantial financing. Much of the financing has been provided by David
Reichman, the present Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and President. The
Company is dependent upon his ability and willingness to continue to provide
such financing which is required to meet reporting and filing requirements of a
public company.
In order for the Company to remain a
going concern, it will need to continue to receive funds from the exercise of
outstanding warrants and options or through other equity or debt financing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to receive any proceeds
from the exercise of warrants or options or that the Company will be able to
obtain the necessary funds to finance its operations. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Please refer to the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008 for its significant accounting
policies.
4.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes earnings or loss
per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
(SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share are computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share
are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, which includes convertible
debentures, stock options and warrants. The calculation of basic and diluted
income (loss) per share for the three months and six months is as
follows:

For 2009
and 2008, 9,875,000 and 3,875,000, common equivalent shares were considered and
excluded from the calculation as their effects are anti-dilutive.
5.
NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable consist of various notes
bearing interest at rates from 5% to 7%, all with original due dates between
August 2000, September 2002 and March 2009. $113,000 of the notes are unpaid to
date and are in default. At December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, notes payable
amounted to $113,000 and $173,000.
At March 31, 2009, accrued interest on
the notes was $54,222. Interest expense on the notes amounted to $1,732 and
$1,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
6.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Due to officers and directors consists
of advances and accrued compensation due primarily to David Reichman, CEO,
President and Chairman of the Company. The advances are due on demand and do not
bear interest. The balance owing to Mr. Reichman is $583,529
and $703,321 at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
7.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Effective January 1, 2008, the
Company's Board of Directors approved for issuance 250,000 stock options to each
of its four directors, to be issued effective January 1, 2008, with an exercise
price of $4.50 per share, expiring in 2018. The options vest 1/24th upon grant
and then 1/24th each subsequent month. The fair value of the options as
calculated under the Black-Scholes model totaled $3,787,174 which vested over a
2 year period. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized
$1,893,587 of compensation expense related to these options. The fair value of
these options was determined using the following assumptions: risk free rate of
3%, no dividend yield, an expected life of five years and a volatility factor of
202%.
The Company also recorded $473,396 of
compensation expense relating to the amortization of the January 1, 2008 options
issued to the Directors during the three months ended March 31, 2009. During the
three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded the value of 5,000,000
stock options issued to a shareholder with an exercise price of $1.20 per share,
expiring in 2019. The fair value of the options as calculated under the
Black-Scholes model totaled $2,550,000 which was recorded as compensation
expense. The fair value of these options was determined using the following
assumptions: risk free rate of 0.35%, no dividend yield, an expected life of ten
years and a volatility factor of 291%. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, the Company issued 12,500,000 shares of its common stock at
$0.51 per share for an aggregate value of $6,362,500.
A summary
of our stock option activity is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2008
and the three months ended March 31, 2009:

Cautionary
Statements
This Form 10-Q may contain
"forward-looking statements," as that term is
used in federal securities laws, about Tree Top Industries, Inc.'s financial condition, results
of operations and business. These statements include,
among others:
o
|
statements
concerning the potential benefits that Tree Top
Industries, Inc. ("TTI" or the "Company") may experience from its business activities
and certain transactions it contemplates or has
completed; and
|
o
|
statements
of TTI's expectations, beliefs, future plans and
strategies, anticipated developments and
other matters that are
not historical facts. These statements may be
made expressly in this Form 10-Q. You can find many of these
statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects,"
"anticipates," "estimates," "opines," or similar expressions used in
this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause TTI's actual
results to be materially different from any future results expressed
or implied by TTI in those statements. The most important facts
that could prevent TTI from achieving its stated goals include, but
are not limited to, the following:
|
(a) volatility or decline of TTI's stock
price;
(b) potential flucuation of quarterly
results;
(c) failure of TTI to earn revenues or
profits;
(d) inadequate capital to continue or expand
its business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to
implement its business plans;
(e) failure to commercialize TTI's technoloy
or to make sales;
(f) decline in demand for TTI's products and
services;
(g) rapid adverse changes in markets;
(h) litigation with or legal claims and
allegations by outside parties against TTi, including but not limited to
challenges to TTI's intellectual property rights;
(i) insufficient revenues to cover operating
costs;
10
(j) failure of NetThruster.com(R) to acquire
or develop and profitably operate a new business to replace its old content
delivery business model, which is no longer being implemented, and
(k) competition from other businesses and
technologies that materially adversely impact TTI's operations, financial
condition and business performance.
There is no assurance that TTI will be
profitable, TTI may not be able to successfully develop, manage
or market its products and services, TTI may not be able to attract or
retain qualified executives and technology personnel, TTI may
not be able to obtain customers for its products or services, TTI's
products and services may
become obsolete, government regulation may hinder TTI's business,
additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to
the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock
options, or the exercise
of outstanding warrants and
stock options, and other risks
inherent in TTI's businesses.
Because the statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. TTI cautions you
not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the
date of this Form 10-Q. The cautionary statements contained or
referred to in this section should
be considered in connection with any subsequent
written or oral forward-looking statements that TTI
or persons acting on its behalf
may issue. TTI does
not undertake any obligation to review
or confirm analysts' expectations or estimates or
to release publicly any revisions to
any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of
this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.
Current
Overview
NetThruster Inc. (formerly known as
Ludicrous, Inc.) is in the process of reevaluating and reorienting its
business. It has successfully broadcast live streaming video of
events for its customers pursuant to event based contracts resulting in minimal
revenue to date. This capability may be used by another TTII subsidiary, MLN,
Inc., in the operation of that Company’s new Internet
website. NetThruster also has worked out the necessary hardware
equipment designs to support the Internet background logistics of the My Lord’s
Network Internet website to be established by MLN. NetThruster may be employed
to implement and maintain the website’s operational equipment.
The primary business of MLN, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TTII (MLN), is the
operation of the My Lord’s Network™ website. MLN has completed the
research and planning necessary to create the website and its supporting
business. The focus of the website is the worldwide Christian
community but with the initial enrollment emphasis on Christians in the United
States. The website is designed to facilitate interaction between enrolled
individual members and, in addition, provide information about Christian
churches, both their location and events. MLN plans to contract for
creation of the initial website and expects to make its revenues through the
ongoing operation of the website (through subscriptions fees and
advertising).
My Lord’s Network will be designed to
bring together members of the Christian community in an arena that provides an
opportunity for online social networking and information about church activities
across the community. It will strive to provide up-to-date
information from its church and ministry members to the individual
members. It plans to offer Christian-oriented contemporary news as
well.
The primary business model is a
content-based Internet website. Individual members will join for free and
receive the basic website services. Individual members may enroll
with optional yearly fees for additional premium website services. Individual
churches will pay a yearly membership fee for services that will enable a church
to upload and update church information including a current event schedule and,
for an additional amount, weekly videos of the pastor’s sermon. There are
several sources for the site’s actual content. Some sources are simple
information pages plus there may be on-demand video downloads. The website plans
to have three basic kinds of information pages: each enrolled individual will
have his/her own page; each enrolled church will have its own page; and each
enrolled ministry will have its own page. The information contained on each type
of page is unique. If a sufficient number of people have joined, it will become
profitable to sell advertising since a guaranteed audience will exist.
Advertising may be either nationwide (or even worldwide) or local since the
website will have geographical information about its members and can target
advertising based upon that information.
11
My Lord’s Network also plans to offer
live streaming video of selected events of particular interest to Christians.
Another TTII subsidiary, NetThruster, Inc., has already demonstrated the
capability to capture and broadcast live streaming video at high-definition
standards. Because of the costs associated with this feature, these broadcasts
will be available either only to those members who have paid a nominal yearly
membership fee or perhaps for a one-time special charge.
There are both products and services
that will be provided as well as marketed on the site. Each church page will
have location and activity information for that church. Each church has the
ability to continually update its activity or event schedule so that when its
page is visited, the information will be topical. Each enrolled church will be
able to continuously update the church’s web page with topical information. The
ministry pages will be customized for each ministry and feature information
unique to each particular ministry. Many ministries sell products such as books
and videos on their own websites and My Lord’s Network plans to offer these same
products on its site. Advertising revenues can be realized once a sufficient
number of individuals have joined the site and provided their demographic
information.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results
of operations are based upon 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 judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
monitor our estimates on an on-going basis for changes in facts and
circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could ccur in
the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in
which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and
other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if
past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially
accurate.
Certain of our accounting policies are
particularly important to the portrayal and understanding of our financial
position and results of operations and require us to apply significant
judgment in their application. As a result, these policies are
subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these
policies, we use our judgment in making certain assumption and
estimates. Our critical accounting policies are described in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of
March 31, 2009 and for the three months then ended.
Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months
Ended March 31, 2008
We had no revenues in the first three
months of 2009 or in the same period of 2008. Our operating expenses increased
from $1,229,710 in the first three months of 2008 to $9,623,645 in the same
period of 2009, primarily due to a increase in stock based compensation expense
to officers, directors and a shareholder. Stock based compensation
aggregated $923,963 in 2008 compared to $9,385,896 in 2009. Our net
loss was $1,231,786 in the first three months of 2008 compared to net loss of
$9,625,553 in the same period of 2009. Excluding this non cash expense our
net loss would have been $307,823 and $239,657 in 2008 and 2009,
respectively.
12
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Company's cash position was $4,243
at March 31, 2009 compared to $663 at December 31, 2008. The
increase in cash is attributable to cash proceeds from related party loans and
notes payable of $179,792, offset by repayments of bank overdrafts and cash
utilized in operating activities.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had
current assets of $4,243 and current liabilities of
$1,370,231.
Net cash used in operating activities
amounted to $170,087 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009, as
compared to $260,435 of net cash used in operations for the
three month period ended March 31, 2008. The primary reason for
the higher utilization of cash in 2008 was to fund the new software development
business of the Company. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted
to a $173,667 and $569,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The larger amount in 2008 resulted from the exercise of
stock options. The Company had net repayments of officers’ loans of $193,365 in
2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company did not use any
cash in investing activities. The Company used $17,977 of cash in during the
same period in 2008.
The Company does not have sufficient
capital to meet its current cash needs, which include the costs of
compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends to seek
additional capital and long-term debt financing to attempt to overcome its
working capital deficit. The Company will need between $150,000
and $200,000 annually to maintain its
reporting obligations. Financing options may be available
to the Company either via a private placement or through the public sale of
stock. The Company will seek to raise sufficient capital to
market NetThruster.com and to sustain monthly operations. There
is no assurance, however, that the available funds will be available or
adequate. Its need for additional financing is likely to
persist.
Going
Concern Qualification
The Company has incurred significant
losses from operations, and such losses are expected to
continue. The Company's auditors have included a "Going Concern
Qualification" in their report for the year ended December 31, 2008.
In addition, the Company has limited working capital. The
foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans include seeking additional capital
and/or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital and/or
debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that
if available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty. The "Going Concern
Qualification" may make it substantially more difficult to
raise capital.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about

4T. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are
controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms of the Commission. David Reichman, our Chief
Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer,
is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and
procedures.
Under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on
that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
Officer has concluded that, as of March
31,2009these
disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to
ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms;
and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
The term “internal control over financial reporting”is defined as a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions,
and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those
policies and procedures that:
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in
reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the
registrant;
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the registrant;
and
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
|
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
were no additional changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
14
Inherent Limitations over
Internal Controls
TTI’s management does
not expect that its disclosure controls or
its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
system’s objectives willbe met. The design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within TTI have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments indecision making
can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or management override of the
controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of
controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or
procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance
of that our reports will be accurate. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal
Accounting Officer concludes that our disclosure controls and procedures were
ineffective at that reasonable assurance level, as of the end of the period covered by this Form
10-Q. Our
future reports shall also indicate that our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed for this reason and shall indicate the related conclusion by the
Chief Executive Officer and Principal
Accounting Officer as to their effectiveness.
PART
II OTHER
INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal
Proceedings
In the recent past, one of the TTI’s
shareholders has harassed the Company both in private and in public, as well as
its officers and the officers of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, in an
apparent attempt to civilly extort money from the Company. To address
the allegedly libelous claims made by the shareholder, TTI has filed suit in
United States District Court. The suit seeks redress in the form of enjoining
the shareholder from any further harassment and in the form of damages from the
shareholder and others who have allegedly abetted the shareholder’s
actions. TTI is confident of prevailing in this suit although there
is no assurance regarding the results of litigation. This case was
dismissed in New York and we are currently evaluating if it would be productive
to file the claim in the Los Angeles County Federal Court.
