1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
follows:
General
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the
results from operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended March 31, 2010. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated March 31, 2009
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Business
and basis of Presentation
Global
Investor Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 10, 2005
under the laws of the State of Nevada. On September 16, 2006, the Company
changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. and on October 1, 2008 to
Global Investor Services, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and
through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and
services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective
customers and to its subscribers. During the year ended March 31, 2008, the
Company transitioned from a development stage enterprise to an
operating company. While the Company has generated revenues from its
sale of products, the Company has incurred expenses, and sustained losses.
Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the
establishment of a new business enterprise. As of December 31, 2009, the Company
has accumulated losses of $55,204,006.
On August
30, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with
Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive
corporation with no significant assets and liabilities. As a result of the
Agreement, there was a change in control of the public entity. In accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations
(“ASC 805-10), Voxpath was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the
Agreement is a recapitalization of Voxpath’s capital structure. For accounting
purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and
Voxpath is the surviving entity. The value of the net assets acquired was $0.
The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection
with the transaction. Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding
shares of common stock were exchanged for an aggregate of 99,999,998 shares of
the Company’s common stock. The value of the stock issued was the historical
cost of the Company’s net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from
their fair value. The total consideration paid was $86,135.
During
the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired Investment Tools and
Training, LLC (“ITT); a Utah limited liability company founded on November 9,
2006 and Razor Data, LLC (“Razor”); a Utah Limited Liability Company formed July
23, 2002.
All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (continued)
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue
Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the
selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably
assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's
judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products
delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and
rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments
are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company
defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to
refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that
the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10
incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element
Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements
that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services
and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's
financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Revenue
arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops
and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received
before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the
company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects
revenues in advance of rendering services. Instead, for all new customers,
a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and
courses and website/data during a given month. As all the products and
services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the
month it is delivered. All revenues collected in prior periods from
the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing
revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as
coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using
the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue
models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be
recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to
operate under either model as the business environment dictates.
We
sell our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple
deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops,
online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions,
along with other products and services. In accordance with 605-25, sales
arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of
accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria:
(i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is
objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and
(iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and
substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is
generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain
arrangements, we offer these products bundled together. If there is any
discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount
is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online
courses and training. As per 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements
in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element,
then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method,
the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of
the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the
delivered item) is recognized as revenue. The deferral policy for each of
the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

As of
December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company’s deferred revenue was $99,230
and $108,048, respectively
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Advertising Costs
The
Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $97,609
and $-0- for the nine months period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Property
and Equipment
Property

Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development
(“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be
charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development
costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are
expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results
have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to
both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. For the
nine month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s expenditures
on research and product development were immaterial.
Reclassification
Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year.
Intangible
Assets and Goodwill
The
Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with the provisions of ASC
805-10. The Company assigns to all identifiable assets acquired
(including intangible assets), and to all identifiable liabilities assumed, a
portion of the cost of the acquired company equal to the estimated fair value of
such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The Company records the
excess of the cost of the acquired company over the sum of the amounts assigned
to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed, if any, as
goodwill.
As a
result of the acquisitions of ITT and Razor on January 15, 2008, the Company
acquired intangible assets in the aggregate amount of $30,652,920.
The
Company allocated $2,920,000 and $499,747 to identifiable intangible assets
including a developed software and customer lists, respectively. The remaining
$27,233,173 was allocated to goodwill.
The
Company amortized its identifiable intangible assets using the straight-line
method over their estimated period of benefit. The estimated useful
lives of the developed software and the customer lists are three and six years.
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and
takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of
useful lives or indicate that impairment exists.
The
Company accounts for and reports acquired goodwill and other intangible assets
under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 305-10, Intangibles, Goodwill
and Other (“ASC 305-10”). In accordance with ASC 305-10, the Company tests its
intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and when there is reason to
suspect that their values have been diminished or impaired. Any write-downs will
be included in results from operations.
Total
identifiable intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of ITT and Razor and
their carrying values at December 31, 2009 are:

The
Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount
of $27,233,173 as a result of the acquisition of Razor Data & IT during
the year ended March 31, 2008.
During
the year ended March 31, 2009 the Company management performed an evaluation of
its goodwill for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at
March 31, 2009. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its
goodwill exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31,
2009. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management
recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $27,233,173, net of tax, or $0.11 per
share during the year ended March 31, 2009 to reduce the carrying value of the
goodwill to $0. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the
fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from
management’s estimates.
Impairment
of long lived assets
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property,
Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets
and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to
recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business
conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even
operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash
flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible
assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows
resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also
requires assets to be disposed of is reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Fair
value of financial instruments
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and
pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2009 and March
31, 2009. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include
cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying
values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their
carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on
demand.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and
trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments
with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of
the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables
in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. There were no trade
receivables as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009.
Website
Development Costs
The
Company recognizes website development costs in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 350-50, Website Development Costs ("ASC
350-50”). As such, the Company expenses all costs incurred that relate to the
planning and post implementation phases of development of its website. Direct
costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and recognized over the
estimated useful life. Costs associated with repair or maintenance for the
website are included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses.
During the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did
not capitalize any costs associated with the website development.
Software
Development Costs
The
Company accounts for software development costs intended for sale in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 985-20, Cost of Software to be
Sold, Leased or Marketed (“ASC 985-20”). ASC 985-20 requires product development
costs to be charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is
attained and all other research and development activities for the hardware
components of the product have been completed. Technological feasibility is
attained when the planning, design and testing phase related to the development
of the Company’s software has been completed and the software has been
determined viable for its intended use, which typically occurs when beta testing
commences.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee
stock options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase
Plan based on the estimated fair values.

fair value of options granted in previous years vesting during the nine month
periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $689,535 and $618,300
respectively was recorded as a current period charge to
earnings.
Segment
Information
Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”)
establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments
to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services
and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an
enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for
evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in
making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The
information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial
information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive
Income (“ASC 220-10”). ASC 220-10 establishes standards for the reporting and
displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is
defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all
changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by
owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive
income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Liquidity

in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the
Company incurred a net loss of $5,519,006 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 2009. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets
by $2,751,083 as of December 31, 2009.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents

purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving
accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.

Loss
per Share
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings
Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) that specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per
share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Stock options and warrants have been excluded as common
stock equivalents in the diluted earnings per share because they are either
antidilutive, or their effect is not material.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
With the
exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months
ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements
described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have
potential material significance, to the Company.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal
securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.
All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.
The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues
Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates
(“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information
about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have
been updated for the Codification.
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall (“ASC 820-10”) with respect to its financial assets
and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance related to
fair value measurements, which is included in the Codification in ASC 820-10-55,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations. The
updated guidance provided a one year deferral of the effective date of ASC
820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that
are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least
annually. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1,
2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information
(“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating
fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity
for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also
includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is
not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.

Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall –
Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC
825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial
statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all
interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall
(“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires
the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the
date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that
an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of
financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16,
2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments
to ASC 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of
liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU
2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a
reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in
an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the
quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active
market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are
Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU
2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include
Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) (“ASU
2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services
based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method
of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative
selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope
of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether
software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are
covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU
2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect
adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.

ADVANCES
The
Company received advances of $239,562 on July 7, 2008, $310,000 on September 4,
2008 and $450,000 on November 3, 2008 to finance future marketing activities.
The advances are payable at 120% from each marketing event of the Company with
the proceeds or if proceeds are insufficient, from other marketing events or
revenues of the Company each at six months from the date of the advance. In the
event the Company does not pay off the advances by January 9, 2009 and February
4, 2009; the remaining balance is converted to a six month, interest free
secured convertible notes. The notes are convertible into the Company’s common
stock at $0.10 per share and are secured by 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock.
The
financing costs of $199,912 are amortized ratably over a six month term. During
the nine month period ended December 31, 2009, the Company had charged to
current period operations $5,910 as amortization of financing costs
On March
31, 2009, the Company issued a convertible note of $1,000,000 as payment of the
above advances. The convertible note is due on July 31, 2011 with interest at
20% per annum, due at maturity. The note is convertible at $0.08, unsecured.
(See note 7 below)
6. NOTES PAYABLE
A summary
of notes payable at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009 are as
follows:
Convertible
Promissory Note
In August
2005, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $250,000 in exchange for a
Convertible Promissory Note (Convertible Note). The Convertible Note included
interest at 10% compounded semiannually, due and payable in five equal
installments of $50,000 through December 2005. At Noteholder’s option, the
Convertible Note could be convertible into 250,000 shares stock of the majority
shareholder of the Company (Parent) at the equivalent conversion price of $1.00
per share. In addition to the Convertible Note, the Noteholder was to be issued
warrants to purchase 250,000 shares (205,761 shares after pre-merger adjustment)
of the Parent’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per
share.
Under the
terms of the Convertible Note, if the existing president should resign or be
dismissed, the monies loaned to the Company, including all accrued interest,
would immediately be due and payable. The president resigned on February 19,
2006, thus accelerating the payment of the loan, plus accrued
interest.
On April
24, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with the Noteholder regarding
his forbearance of collecting the debt owed to him due to the resignation of its
former President. The Company will pay from the proceeds of a Private Placement,
10% of the first $500,000 of funds raised and 20% of the next $500,000 raised,
for a total of $150,000. The remaining balance will be due on December 31, 2007,
including interest at 10% compounding semi-annually. If the Private Placement
raises less than $1,000,000 by October 2006, the Company will pay 10% of all
additional capital raised by the Company. If no Private Placement Offering is
circulated, the balance will be due immediately. Additionally, as consideration

Warrants
granted during the year ended March 31, 2009 totaling 2,000,000 were issued in
connection with promissory note payable. The warrants are exercisable
until five years after the date of issuance at a purchase price of $0.01 per
share. The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance was
determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Method with the following
assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%; volatility: 138.87%, risk free interest rate:
1.48%
On
July 31, 2009, warrants totaling 17,150,006 were issued in connection with
issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes. The warrants are exercisable for three
years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per
share. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option
pricing method with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-,
volatility of 149.90% and risk free rate from 2.53%. As described in
Note 9 above, these warrants contain certain reset provisions which require the
Company to classify the market value of the warrants outside of
equity.
On
December 17, 2009, warrants totaling 500,000 were issued in connection with
issuance of a Convertible Promissory Note. The warrants are exercisable for five
years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.05 per
share. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option
pricing method with the following assumptions: dividend yield $-0-,
volatility of 154.99% and risk free rate from 2.24%. As described in
Note 9 above, these warrants contain certain reset provisions which require the
Company to classify the market value of the warrants outside of

15. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENT
The
Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10
defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value
measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at
fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in
which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer
restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10
establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or
infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in
which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from
or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the
measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the
extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or
unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more
judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure
purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement.
Upon
adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning
retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
The
carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, short-term borrowings (Including convertible notes payable),
and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their
short-term maturity.
Items
recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the cash,
other current assets, warrant liability and reset derivative liability.
Convertible notes were determined at a net discount rate of 2% per annum for the
terms of the notes:

16. GOING CONCERN
MATTERS
The
Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared
using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern
which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses which
have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $55,204,006 at December 31, 2009
which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Continuation
as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional capital and upon the
Company’s attaining profitable operations. The Company will require a
substantial amount of additional funds to complete the development of its
products, to build a sales and marketing organization, and to fund additional
losses which the Company expects to incur over the next few years. The
management of the Company intends to seek additional funding through a Private
Placement Offering which will be utilized to fund product development and
continue operations. The Company recognizes that, if it is unable to raise
additional capital, it may find it necessary to substantially reduce or cease
operations.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
January 2010 the Company issued 464,000 shares for consulting services
rendered.
Subsequent
events have been evaluated through February 10, 2010, a date that the financial
statements were issued.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of
Financial condition and results of Operations.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q, including this discussion and analysis by
management, contains or incorporates forward-looking statements. All statements
other than statements of historical fact made in report are forward looking. In
particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future
results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as

“projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar
words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the

management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual
results may differ significantly from management’s expectations. For factors
that may cause actual results to differ from management’s expectations,
reference should be made to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our other periodic
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed
to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the
future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of
actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best
present assessment of our management.
Background
The
Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 1, 2005. On August 30,
2006, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with
Voxpath Holdings, Inc. (“Voxpath”). Prior to the merger, Voxpath was an inactive
corporation with no significant assets and liabilities. On September
16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com,
Inc. Effective October 1, 2008, the Company changed its name to
Global Investor Services, Inc.
The
Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as
online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and
educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.
During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company transitioned from a
development stage enterprise to an operating company.
On
January 15, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of all the outstanding
membership interests of ITT. The total purchase price was $18,650,000,
consisting of an aggregate of 66,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of $2,000,000. On January 15,
2008, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of
Razor Data and assumed specified liabilities. The total purchase price was
$12,500,000, consisting of an aggregate of 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock and the issuance of convertible promissory notes of
$3,000,000.
Plan
of Operations
The
Company is executing its marketing strategy through direct-to-market campaigns
with its marketing partners and through the internet where it delivers investor
products and services. The Company’s target market is comprised of a large base
of entry level investors, active investors in the on-line brokerage sector and
higher-end users of financial information, services and financial
news.
The
Company’s marketing strategy is designed to grow the business and to deliver
high customer value in education and investor services at the lowest possible
cost. These goals will be achieved through on-line customer acquisition, product
sales and customer service, and on-line education and services
delivery.
37
Customer
acquisition is realized via the company’s marketing partners and through on-line
marketing. Our partners have the marketing and operations capability to attract
customers by way of low cost introductory courses and products which
then allows for upsell opportunities to a complete on-line education curriculum
and expanded investor services. Customer service is supported by a comprehensive
client management system that tracks the customer throughout the purchase,
education and added services cycle which also includes live data feeds, news and
investment letters.
On-line
education delivery is completed starting with early stage courses through a
complete curriculum of learning modules, podcasts, webinars and webisodes. In
addition, our customer management system follows every student at this level in
the form of surveys, competency assessments, learning assignments, hotline,
coaching and mentoring.
The
Company has a number of different delivery formats that is focused on a
structured investing methodology that focuses on searching for an investment,
industry group analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and portfolio
management. The objective is to provide a complete investor education experience
for both beginning and experienced investors and to help them better understand
the investment decision process.
The
company’s longer term goals include the expansion to other markets beyond the
United States. The comprehensive investor education curriculum and related
investor services will be marketed and delivered on-line in target markets
principally via joint venture arrangements in other countries.
Investor
Information Services
The
Company provides a complete turnkey solution to its clients in the financial
community by providing a broad array of information services that include stock
market information and tools, comprehensive database creation and management,
distributed web hosting and network environments, and complete e-content
creation, management and delivery. Razor Data provides technology and data

company, and the TRES portfolios to stay focused on their core competencies to
expand product offerings and acquire new customers.

Revenue
for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $301,148 which represented a
$210,232 decrease from revenue of $511,380 for the three months ended December
31, 2008. Revenue in the past quarter was below forecast primarily
due to the continuation of the economic crisis and the upheaval in the markets.
While the company was able to attract consumers to its direct marketing efforts
in the past months, there appeared to be a general lack of consumer confidence
as we observed that potential clients at our events were reluctant to spend on
Investor Education during this difficult and unsettled period.
In this
reporting quarter the company also emerged from its concerted effort, which it
began in earnest last December 2008 and which it completed in April 2009, to
re-structure and convert all marketing activities, course content and delivery,
investor tools and customer service to an On-Line Business Model. Our business
strategy is now based on GIS’s broad based online capability to effectively
execute our direct marketing as well as our partner campaigns
on-line.
Our
revenue model has been transformed from a single point-of-sale event to a
recurring revenue stream via subscriptions. By eliminating both the high cost
event based marketing model and the high logistics costs of supporting live
events, our operating margins are expected to be substantially
higher. This on-line offering reduces the up-front customer cost,
produces higher buyer conversion rates, increases retention rates and further
increases customer value since we give immediate full access to all our products
and services.
Having
completed the conversion to full online capability, we began executing our
online customer campaigns in May and we continue to see positive consumer
response through December 2009. The campaigns are continuing along with new
online webinar initiatives and we look forward to building on what we believe is
a robust online business system.
Cost
of sales:
Cost of
sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 was $241,408 (80.2% of
sales) as compared to $453,387 (88.7% of sales) for the same period last
year. The primary reason for this decrease was the transition to our
online business model. Our gross profit was $59,740 as compared to $57,993
for same period last year. The primary reason for the improved
margins is from this transition.

selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended
December 31, 2009 was $663,719 as compared to $1,141,593 for the three months
ended December 31, 2008. The primary reason for this decrease is a
result of less operating and overhead costs associated with the online business
model that the Company has adopted and operated under during the period ending
December 31, 2009 as opposed to the seminar based model that the Company
operated under during the three month period ending December 31,
2008..

During
the three months ended December 31, 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes
and related warrants that contain certain reset provisions requiring s to fair
value both the warrants and reset derivative each reporting period and mark to
market as a non cash adjustment to our current period
operations. This resulted in a gain to our current period operations
of $1,376,172.
Our net
interest and other decreased from $513,834 to $238,591 due to debt conversions
and lower interest rates with any replacement notes.

Revenue
for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was $867,956 which represented a
$1,309,848 decrease from revenue of $2,177,804 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2008. Revenue in the past nine months was below forecast
primarily due to the continuation of the economic crisis and the upheaval in the
markets. While the company was able to attract consumers to its direct marketing
efforts in the past months, there appeared to be a general lack of consumer
confidence as we observed that potential clients at our events were reluctant to
spend on Investor Education during this difficult and unsettled
period.
In this
reporting quarter the company also emerged from its concerted effort, which it
began in earnest last December and which it completed in April, to re-structure
and convert all marketing activities, course content and delivery, investor
tools and customer service to an On-Line Business Model. Our business strategy
is now based on GIS’s broad based online capability to effectively execute our
direct marketing as well as our partner campaigns on-line.
Our
revenue model has been transformed from a single point-of-sale event to a
recurring revenue stream via subscriptions. By eliminating both the high cost
event based marketing model and the high logistics costs of supporting live
events, our operating margins are expected to be substantially
higher. This on-line offering reduces the up-front customer cost,
produces higher buyer conversion rates, increases retention rates and further
increases customer value since we give immediate full access to all our products
and services.
Having
completed the conversion to full online capability, we began executing our
online customer campaigns in May 2009. The campaigns are continuing along with
new online webinar initiatives and we look forward to building on what we
believe is a robust online business system.
Cost
of sales:
Cost of
sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 was $695,494 (80.1% of
sales) as compared to $2,007,095 (92.2% of sales) for the same period last
year. The primary reason for this decrease was the transition to the
online business model. Our gross profit was $172,462 as compared to
$170,709 for same period last year, approximately the same with less
revenue.

During
the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we issued convertible promissory notes
and related warrants that contain certain reset provisions requiring us to fair
value both the warrants and reset derivative each reporting period and mark to
market as a non cash adjustment to our current period
operations. This resulted in a charge to our current period
operations of $535,858.
Our net
interest and other decreased from $1,401,344 to $763,704 due to debt conversions
and lower interest rates with any replacement notes.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,751,083. The
Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operating activities of $941,290
for the nine month period December 31, 2009. This deficit is primarily
attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $5,519,006 and is
partially offset by following: A charge for the value of options issued for
services of $694,815, recognition of an imbedded beneficial conversion of
convertible notes of $277,806, change in fair value of warrant and derivative
liabilities of $535,859, stock issued for services of $698,050, amortization of
financing costs of $67,962, amortization and depreciation expense of $703,556,
and changes in the balances of current assets and liabilities. Employee
advances, unbilled revenue and other current assets decreased by $14,601, net.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $893,075 and deferred
revenue decreased by $8,818, net.
The
Company did not generate any cash flow from investing activities for the nine
months ended December 31, 2009.
The
Company’s generated a cash flow from financing activities for the nine month
period ended December 31, 2009 through proceeds from borrowing on convertible
promissory notes of $1,055,970, net with related party advance repayments of
$99,937.
While we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past,
additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash
flow deficits from operations and development. We are seeking financing, which
may take the form of debt, convertible debt or equity, in order to provide the
necessary working capital. There can be no assurance that future financings will
be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on
acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations.
42
We
estimate that during the next twelve months we will need approximately
$1,000,000 in additional capital to fully implement our business plan. Our
business plan encompasses investing behind our business development strategy,
our marketing campaigns and in building our business operations. As of the date
of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our business and
marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. If we are not successful in
generating sufficient cash flow from operations or in raising sufficient capital
resources to finance our growth, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and
financial condition, we will have to adjust our planned operations and
development on a more limited scale and, ultimately, may cease to continue our
business.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may
differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a
number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial
statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the
most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and
judgments.
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue
Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met
before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the
selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably
assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's
judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products
delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and
rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments
are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company
defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to
refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that
the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-10
incorporates Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-25, Multiple-Element
Arraignments (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 addresses accounting for arrangements
that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services
and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing 605-25 on the Company's
financial position and results of operations was not significant.
Revenue
arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops
and training and coaching/counseling services where the payments are received
before the service has been rendered. Beginning January 1, 2009, the
company changed its marketing strategy such that the company no longer collects
revenues in advance of rendering services. Instead, for all new customers,
a monthly subscription fee is received for access to the online training and
courses and website/data during a given month. As all the products and
services are delivered during the month, the revenues are recognized in the
month it is delivered. All revenues collected in prior periods from
the legacy marketing strategy are deferred and recognized as per the existing
revenue recognition policy. Additionally, any revenues from services such as
coaching/counseling that are sold in advance of delivery will be deferred using
the existing revenue recognition policy. Thus we have two distinct revenue
models that were used during FY 2009 and revenue under either model will be
recognized under its appropriate model. The company reserves the option to
operate under either model as the business environment
dictates.
43
We sell
our products separately and in various bundles that contain multiple
deliverables that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops,
online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions,
along with other products and services. In accordance with 605-25, sales
arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of
accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria:
(i) the product has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (ii) there is
objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and
(iii) delivery or performances of any undelivered item is probable and
substantially in our control. The fair value of each separate element is
generally determined by prices charged when sold separately. In certain
arrangements, we offer these products bundled together. If there is any
discount from the combined fair value of the individual elements, the discount
is allocated to the portion of the revenues that is attributed to the online
courses and training. As per 605-25, if fair value of all undelivered elements
in an arrangement exists, but fair value does not exist for a delivered element,
then revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method,
the fair value of undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of
the arrangement fee (after allocation of 100 percent of any discount to the
delivered item) is recognized as revenue. The deferral policy for each of
the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:

As of
December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company’s deferred revenue was $99,230
and $108,048, respectively
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee
stock options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase
Plan based on the estimated fair values.
The
company adopted ASC 718-10 using the modified prospective transition method,
which required the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006.
The company's Financial Statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007
reflects the impact of ASC 718-10. In accordance with the modified prospective
transition method, the company's Financial Statements for the prior periods have
not been restated to reflect, and do not include the impact of ASC 718-10. Stock
based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718-10 for the year ended March
31, 2007 was $1,440,776.
For the
nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted an
aggregate of 8,500,000 and -0- stock options to employees, respectively. The
fair value of options granted in previous years vesting during the nine month
periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $689,535 and $618,300
respectively was recorded as a current period charge to
earnings.
44
Segment
Information
Accounting
Standards Codification subtopic Segment Reporting 280-10 (“ASC 280-10”)
establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments
to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services
and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an
enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for
evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in
making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The
information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial
information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.
Derivative
Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have
evaluated the application of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”) to
certain freestanding warrants and convertible promissory notes that contain
exercise price adjustment features known as reset provisions. Based
on the guidance in ASC 815-40, we have concluded these instruments are required
to be accounted for as derivatives effective upon issuance on July 31,
2009.
We have
recorded the fair value of the warrants and reset provisions of the convertible
promissory notes and classified as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet
at fair value with changes in the value of these derivatives reflected in the
consolidated statements of operations as gain or loss on derivative
liabilities. These derivative instruments are not designated as
hedging instruments under ASC 815-10.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
With the
exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months
ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements
described in the Annual Report that are of material significance, or have
potential material significance, to the Company.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal
securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.
All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.
The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not
included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new
standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues
Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates
(“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information
about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have
been updated for the Codification.
45
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall (“ASC 820-10”) with respect to its financial assets
and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance related to
fair value measurements, which is included in the Codification in ASC 820-10-55,
Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations. The
updated guidance provided a one year deferral of the effective date of ASC
820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that
are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least
annually. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1,
2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information
(“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating
fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity
for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also
includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is
not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall –
Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC
825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial
instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial
statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all
interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events – Overall
(“ASC 855-10”). ASC 855-10 establishes general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires
the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent
events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the
date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. This disclosure should alert all users of financial statements that
an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of
financial statements being presented. Adoption of ASC 855-10 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 16,
2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments
to ASC 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of
liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a
reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU
2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a
reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the
transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in
an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the
quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active
market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are
Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
46
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU
2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include
Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) (“ASU
2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an
arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services
based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method
of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative
selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope
of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether
software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are
covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU
2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements
entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after
June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect
adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Off-Balance

The
Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues,
results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this
item.
ITEM
4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Control and Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act ”), that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported,
within the time periods specified in Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure
controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls
and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and
procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based
in part upon 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.
As of
December 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by
us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changed
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to material affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
In May
2007, the Company received $50,000 in exchange for a Convertible NOTE (Note)
that matured on August 31, 2007. The Note bears an interest rate of 12% and is
convertible into the Company's common stock at the greater of $0.25 per share or
67.5% of the average 10 previous trade days prior to conversion. This note was
intended to be a short term note with repayment upon the raising of additional
capital in a private offering with American Capital Partners as the placement
agent. This subsequent financing was not adequate to repay this note
as promised, and the company since has not had sufficient liquidity to repay
this note. To date the noteholder has taken no legal action
and has been collecting the default rate of interest (18% per annum)
in restricted common stock. It is the intention of the Company to repay
this note as soon as it is able from excess cash flow or additional
financing.
