1. BUSINESS.
Corporate
History
Global
Investor Services, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, and “GISV”)
was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 1, 2005. Effective September
18, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.com, Inc., and
on October 1, 2008 the Company changed its name to Global Investor Services,
Inc. The Company was initially formed to market portfolios of stocks via
subscription. In 2007, a new chief executive officer was installed and a
strategy was developed to create and market a diverse portfolio of products and
services for the financial education and financial information industry. This
strategy included strategic acquisitions, such as the acquisitions of Razor
Data, LLC and Investment Tools and Training, LLC, which have provided the
Company with an integrated platform in which it can market and deliver investor
education products and investor services. The stock symbol is GISV.
Industry
Overview
In recent
years, many investors have taken greater personal control of their investment
activities, bypassing traditional brokers to trade with online brokerage firms
and performing their own financial and investment research, often using the
Internet. The Internet provides retail investors with easy access to information
that once was readily available only to investment professionals, such as timely
market news, intraday and historical quotes, charts, company filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, equity research and analysts’ earnings
estimates. However, while vast quantities of investment information are now
available, insight and expertise to make sense of it remains essential and not
readily available to small retail investors.
Additionally,
during these past years the business environment for financial services and
financial education has been in a phase of growth and expansion. Significantly,
according to a Securities and Exchange Commission Special Study: On-Line
Brokerage: Keeping Apace of Cyberspace
(http://www.sec.gov/news/studies/cyberspace.htm ) “Recent advances in
information technology - particularly the Internet - are revolutionizing
commerce. The securities industry, most significantly on-line brokerage, is at
the forefront of this revolution. We believe on-line brokerage has
significantly changed the dynamics of the marketplace, causing one of the
biggest shifts in individual investors' relationships with their brokers since
the invention of the telephone. For the first time ever, investors can - from
the comfort of their own homes - access a wealth of financial information on the
same terms as market professionals, including breaking news developments and
market data. In addition, on-line brokerage provides investors with tools to
analyze this information, such as research reports, calculators, and portfolio
analyzers. Finally, on-line brokerage enables investors to act quickly on this
information.”
Supporting
this growing demand is efficient access to financial information and tools
driven by advancements in information technology and lower costs of acquiring
the necessary tools. In our opinion, this sector contains three main categories:
financial information, financial education and data.
We
believe that the number of U.S. households that own stocks, either directly or
through a mutual fund or retirement plan, has increased proportionally since
1983. Financial information is readily accessed from sources such as cable TV
channels and online news providers, while financial education can be accessed
from the likes of online brokers. While it is difficult to quantify the size of
the addressable market for financial education and financial information, we
believe it is likely to keep growing into the future as more and more investors
elect to make their own financial decisions.

Business Overview
The
Company’s business structure is to generate revenue from several distinct
and related sources; marketing and sales of investor education products under
the InvestView brand; financial information delivery services through its Razor
Data subscription based business and tutorial, mentoring and advisory services
that enable customers to apply the information they obtain in the Company’s
courses in the real world. The Company believes that by offering
financial information and financial education in one integrated operating
platform is a viable business strategy.
The
Company’s products align a complete range of educational tools, research,
analysis, financial news and financial information so that customers can more
effectively control their personal finances and develop trading strategies for
investing in the stock market. The Company believes that its integrated business
model broadens client reach, increases customer retention and creates recurring
revenue from our customer base.
The
Company’s unique offerings include:
· A
comprehensive program of successively complex financial educational
courses that are sold to customers on a subscription basis and are
delivered on line through the Company’s website;
· In–house
developed trading tools with actionable trading indicators;
·
|
Blogs,
newsletters and other reference materials that describe investment
strategies; and
|
·
|
Mentoring,
coaching and advisory services that are available on a subscription
basis.

Acquisitions
Investment
Tools & Training, LLC
On
January 15th, 2008
the Company acquired Investment Tools & Training, LLC, which brings a
highly experienced management team into the Company and an on-line investor
education and distribution system as well as traditional distribution through
partners. The Company benefits by having acquired experienced management
immediately, which assures a deep bench of talent with a successful multi-year
track record in this industry.
Razor
Data,Corp
The
Company, on January 15th 2008,
also acquired Razor Data, which brings a robust technology platform into the
Company where virtually no capital needs to be invested in the execution of the
Company’s business strategy. Razor Data brings experienced technology and
operations management and a highly capable development team. Since it began
operations five years ago, Razor Data has realized dramatic growth in its
subscriber base as a low cost provider, and has achieved profitability in each
year of its operations. In addition to its active user base, it has a marketing
database of 90,000 potential product customers.
Competition
The
company faces competition for subscribers from all forms of financial news and
information sources, including print publications, television and radio, and
other internet information services providers. The financial services sector is
diverse, growing and characterized by rapid change where there are no dominant
players. Competitors in this sector have unique attributes and a dominant player
has yet to emerge. Despite rapid expansion, the broad sector penetration is
still relatively in the early stages, competitors offer different products and
services and success is characterized by speed to market and uniqueness of its
offering. There are a multitude of providers for online financial information,
each using their own analysis methods and research tools. Our competitors
include Edgar Online, BankRate.com, TheStreet.com and Morningstar, Swim group,
optionsXpress and others. Competition may result in price reductions, decreased
gross margins and loss of market share. Certain of our competitors have greater
financial and other resources than we have.
3
Intellectual Property
Our
success depends in part on our proprietary technology and know-how and to a
great degree on our ability to broadly market our products to our potential
customers and gain their acceptance of those products. The Company owns, through
its acquisitions of Investment
Tools & Training and Razor Data (1) all the financial education
products and education and teaching modules in both on-line and physical forms
which it markets, sells and delivers through its businesses, (2) all technical
tools, presentations, charts, analyses, strategies, customer teaching and
support methodologies, subscription services delivery content and systems, and
(3) all marketing know-how, product names and brands, logos, names descriptors,
url’s and private labeling capability.
Government
Regulation
We do not
provide securities brokerage or investment advisory services and do not require
any representative distributing the services of StockDiagnostics.com to conduct
itself as an investment advisor or broker. We in fact encourage all
representatives and users of our information services to seek unrelated
investment professionals for securities related activities. Because we have
positioned the Company as a knowledge provider and educator which seeks to
augment a user’s informed decision-making process rather than act as a conductor
of investment decisions or a representative of investment services, our
activities do not fall within the scope of securities industry
regulation.
We are
subject to government regulation in connection with securities laws and
regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, as well as laws and
regulations applicable to businesses generally. We are also increasingly subject
to government regulation and legislation specifically targeting Internet
companies, such as privacy regulations adopted at the local, state, national and
international levels and taxes levied at the state level. Due to the increasing
popularity and use of the Internet, enforcement of existing laws, such as
consumer protection regulations, in connection with Web-based activities has
become more aggressive, and it is expected that new laws and regulations will
continue to be enacted at the local, state, national and international levels.
Such new legislation, alone or combined with increasingly aggressive enforcement
of existing laws, could inhibit the growth in use of the Internet and decrease
the acceptance of the Internet as a communications and commercial medium, which
could in turn decrease the demand for our services or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on our future operating performance and business.
Employees
GISV has
24 employees. The Company has not experienced any work stoppages and considers
relations with its employees to be good.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the following material risk factors as well as all
other information set forth or referred to in this report before purchasing
shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree
of risk. The Company believes all material risk factors have been presented
below. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business
operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the
trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of
the money you paid to purchase our common stock.
Risks
Related to our Business
We have a limited
operating history, and therefore there is a high risk of
potential business failure unless we can overcome the various obstacles inherent
to an early stage business.
We have
only limited prior business operations. Because of our limited operating
history, you may not have adequate information on which you can base an
evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the
difficulties, delays and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its
early stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated
research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative
expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as
described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able
to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.
We
have incurred substantial operating losses since inception (August 1, 2005) and
we may never achieve profitability.
From our
inception on August 1, 2005 through March 31, 2010, we have incurred cumulative
losses of $29,550,899 plus an additional loss of $27,233,173 resulting from the
full impairment of the Goodwill being carried from our acquisitions. As a result
of the start-up nature of our business, we expect to continue to incur
substantial expenses. There can be no assurance that we will achieve
profitability in the immediate future or at any time. We do not expect to be
profitable in 2010, during which we will engage primarily in marketing our
products. Our cash balance on March 31, 2010 was $48,828 and our average
cash burn for the year ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $96,497 per month.
As of the date of this filing, we have minimal operating capital to continue our
business and marketing initiatives for the next twelve months. As a result, the
Company is actively seeking to secure additional working capital through the
sale of its securities.
4
Our
independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
In their
audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheets as of
March 31, 2010 and our related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2010, our
auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from
operations and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet. We have
prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in
the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue in existence.
Given our
historical financial losses and current financial condition we
will need additional financing to execute our business plan for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2011. Our inability to obtain sufficient additional capital
could reduce the value the market currently places on our common
stock.
We have
no current commitment for such future funding and there can be no assurance that
additional capital will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Selling additional stock would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders.
Further, if we sell stock at a price lower than the conversion price of the
Notes held by the selling stockholders, the number of shares of our common stock
issuable upon conversion of those Notes will automatically increase; thereby
further diluting the equity interests of our stockholders. If we are unable to
secure additional capital, we will be forced to reduce our investment in
development and commercialization efforts, which will impair our ability to
execute our plans. We used cash of $1,157,964 in operating activities
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and, expect to generate positive cash
from operations in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
The
Company is currently in default under a portion its convertible promissory notes
and the investors have the right to commence an action to collect the amounts
due.
In
connection with a private placement the Company completed on May 8, 2007, the
Company issued convertible promissory notes to the investors which matured on
August 31, 2007. The Company has failed to make payment of the amounts
outstanding for the principal and has been paying the interest in stock. The
investors therefore have the right to bring an action to collect the outstanding
amounts under such convertible promissory notes. As of the date of this filing,
seven of the ten investors have extended these notes until May 11, 2011 for an
aggregate of $650,000 leaving $200,000 in default.
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company was in default on certain notes and convertible
debentures totaling approximately $421,000. The investors have not declared a
default by the Company, although there can be no assurance that they will not
declare a default in the future.
We
may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could slow or prevent
our ability to achieve profitability.
The
ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and
growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could
strain our internal resources and delay or prevent our efforts to achieve
profitability. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant
strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure and other resources.
Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to
successfully attract, train, motivate, retain and manage new employees and
continue to update and improve our operational, financial and management
controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively slower
growth is likely to occur and thereby slowing or negating our ability to achieve
and sustain profitability.
We
may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the
proprietary rights of others which could result in costly
litigation.
Our
future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary
rights related to our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology
without our authorization. The Company intends to pursue aggressively all
efforts to obtain patent protection for our technology. The Company also relies
on trade secrets, common law trademark rights and trademark registrations, as
well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment and license
agreements with employees, consultants, third party developers, licensees and
customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only
limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.
Policing
unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not
provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary
in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade
secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of
the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our
future operating results.
5
In recent
years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving
patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an
increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property
rights, which pressure defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly
to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or
individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights.
Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly
and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we
could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our
use of the subject matter in question or obtain a license to use those rights or
develop non-infringing alternatives.
The
industry in which the Company operates is highly competitive and has low
barriers to entry. Increased competition would make profitability even more
difficult to achieve.
The
Company competes with many providers of business and financial information
including INVESTools, optionsXpress, Bloomberg, S&P’s Capital IQ,
Dun & Bradstreet, Reuters, Standard & Poor’s, Thompson
Financial, 10-K Wizard, MSN, Yahoo!, TheStreet.com among others. Its industry is
characterized by low barriers to entry, rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards, frequent new product and service introductions and changing
customer demands. Many of its existing competitors have longer operating
histories, name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does. Current
competitors or new market entrants could introduce products with features that
may render the Company’s products and services obsolete or uncompetitive. To be
competitive and to serve its customers effectively, the Company must respond on
a timely and cost-efficient basis to changes in technology, industry standards
and customer preferences. The cost to modify its products, services or
infrastructure in order to adapt to these changes could be substantial and the
Company cannot be sure that it will have the financial resources to fund these
expenses. Increased competition could result in reduced operating margins, as
well as a loss of market share and brand recognition. If these events occur,
they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
revenues.
Our
business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in
the securities markets and/or the economy in general.
We depend
on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities
trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions.
Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic
conditions may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment
decisions and thus decrease the demand for our products.
The
Company may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and
failures that could reduce the attractiveness of its sites and that could harm
its business.
Although
the Company has implemented various security mechanisms, its business is
vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar
disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays or loss of data. For
instance, because a portion of its revenue is based on individuals using credit
cards to purchase subscriptions over the Internet and a portion from advertisers
who seek to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or services,
the Company’s business could be adversely affected by these break-ins or
disruptions. Additionally, its operations depend on its ability to protect
systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications
failure, and other events beyond the Company’s control. Moreover, the Company’s
website may experience slower response times or other problems for a variety of
reasons, including hardware and communication line capacity restraints, software
failures or during significant increases in traffic when there have been
important business or financial news stories and during the seasonal periods of
peak SEC filing activity. These strains on its systems could cause customer
dissatisfaction and could discourage visitors from becoming paying subscribers.
The Company’s websites could experience disruptions or interruptions in service
due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of information from
Stockdiagnostics.com. These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive
its website and technology solutions as not functioning properly and cause them
to use other methods or services of its competitors. Any disruption resulting
from these actions may harm the Company’s business and may be very expensive to
remedy, may not be fully covered by our insurance and could damage its
reputation and discourage new and existing users from using its products and
services. Any disruptions could increase costs and make profitability even more
difficult to achieve.
6
The
Company could face liability and other costs relating to storage and use of
personal information about its users.
Users
provide the Company with personal information, including credit card
information, which it does not share without the user’s consent. Despite this
policy of obtaining consent, however, if third persons were able to penetrate
the Company’s network security or otherwise misappropriate its users’ personal
or credit card information, it could be subject to liability, including claims
for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other
similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for
unauthorized marketing purposes. New privacy legislation may further increase
this type of liability. Furthermore, the Company could incur additional expenses
if additional regulations regarding the use of personal information were
introduced or if federal or state agencies were to investigate our privacy
practices.
Legal
uncertainties and government regulation of the Internet could adversely affect
the Company’s business.
Many
legal questions relating to the Internet remain unclear and these areas of
uncertainty may be resolved in ways that damage the Company’s business. It may
take years to determine whether and how existing laws governing matters such as
intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation apply to the Internet. In
addition, new laws and regulations that apply directly to Internet
communications, commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent. As the use
of the Internet grows, there may be calls for further regulation, such as more
stringent consumer protection laws.
These
possibilities could affect the Company’s business adversely in a number of ways.
New regulations could make the Internet less attractive to users, resulting in
slower growth in its use and acceptance than is expected. The Company may be
affected indirectly by legislation that fundamentally alters the practicality or
cost-effectiveness of utilizing the Internet, including the cost of transmitting
over various forms of network architecture, such as telephone networks or cable
systems, or the imposition of various forms of taxation on Internet-related
activities. Complying with new regulations could result in additional cost to
the Company, which could reduce its profit margins or leave it at risk of
potentially costly legal action.
Our
future success depends on retaining our existing key employees and hiring and
assimilating new key employees. The loss of key employees or the inability to
attract new key employees could limit our ability to execute our growth
strategy, resulting in lost sales and a slower rate of growth.
Our
success depends in part on our ability to retain key employees including our
executive officers. Although we have certain employment agreements in effect
with our executives, each executive can terminate his or her agreement generally
with 90 days notice. It would be difficult for us to replace any one of these
individuals. In addition, as we grow we will need to hire additional key
personnel. We may not be able to identify and attract high quality employees or
successfully assimilate new employees into our existing management
structure.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
We
have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may
cause our stock price to decline.
For the
operating period since inception (August 1, 2005) through March 31, 2010, we
have incurred a net cumulative loss of $56,784,072 of which $27,233,173 was from
a onetime impairment of 100% of the goodwill associated with the recent
acquisitions. The Net Operating Loss for the year ending March 31, 2010 was
$7,099,072.
We expect to continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to market
our products and establish our infrastructure and organization to support
anticipated operations. We cannot be certain whether we will ever be
profitable, or if we do, that we will be able to continue to be profitable.
Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to market
our products. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and
result in you losing a portion or all of your investment.
We will need to
raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our
business may fail.
Because
our revenues are not yet sufficient to cover expenses or fund our growth, we
need to secure on-going funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional
financing, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our products, our
business operations will most likely be discontinued and we will cease to be
going concern. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or
sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure
additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Selling additional stock,
either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our
stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have
to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable
to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations which
would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely
result in a lower stock price.
7
Our
common stock has experienced in the past, and is expected to experience in the
future, significant price and volume volatility, which substantially increases
the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that
you pay for the shares.
Certain
factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to
fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to, the
following:
|
·
|
variations
in our quarterly operating results;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to complete the research and development of our
technologies;
|
|
·
|
the
development of a future market for our
products;
|
|
·
|
changes
in market valuations of similar
companies;
|
|
·
|
additions
or departures of key personnel; and
|
|
·
|
fluctuations
in stock market price and volume.
|
Additionally,
in recent years the stock market in general, and the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. In some cases these fluctuations are unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These
market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price
regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common
stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our
trading price as of the date of this prospectus is not necessarily an indicator
of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future. In the
past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following
periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If
we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in
substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which
could have a further negative effect on your investment in our
stock.
Shares
of our common stock may be subject to price illiquidity and volatility because
our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for
trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.
Although
a trading market for our common stock exists, the trading volume has not been
significant and an active trading market for our common stock may never develop.
There currently is no analyst coverage of our business. During the period from
March 31, 2009 through March 31, 2010 the average daily trading
volume of our common stock was approximately 260,000 shares (or
approximately 1% of the
shares currently available in the market as of March 31, 2010). The trading
volume of our shares will continue to be limited due to resale restrictions
under applicable securities laws and the fact that approximately 58% of our outstanding shares are held
by officers, directors and stockholders holding greater than a 5% interest in
the Company. As a result of the limited trading market for our common stock and
the lack of analyst coverage, the market price for our shares may continue to
fluctuate significantly and will likely be more volatile than the stock market
as a whole. There may be a limited demand for shares of our common stock due to
the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks quoted for
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, lack of analyst coverage of our common stock
and limited trading market for our common stock. As a result, even if prices
appear favorable, there may not be sufficient demand to complete a stockholder’s
sell order. Without an active public trading market or broader public ownership,
shares of our common stock are likely to be less liquid than the stock of public
companies with broad public ownership and an active trading market, and any of
our stockholders who attempt to sell their shares in any significant volumes may
not be able to do so at all, or without depressing the publicly quoted bid
prices for our shares.
While we
may, at some point, be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common
stock to be listed on the Nasdaq stock market or on another national securities
exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve such a listing. Listing
on one of the Nasdaq markets or one of the national securities exchanges is
subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and
minimum public “float” requirements. There are also continuing eligibility
requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges. If we are
unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such
market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result
in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell
your shares, which could result in you losing some or all of your
investments.

There
Is No Assurance Of An Established Public Trading Market, Which Would Adversely
Affect The Ability Of Investors In Our Company To Sell Their Securities In The
Public Markets.
Although
our common stock trades on the OTCBB, a regular trading market for our common
stock may not be sustained in the future. The National Association of Securities
Dealers (the “NASD”) limits quotation on the OTCBB to securities of issuers that
are current in their reports filed with the SEC. If we fail to be current in the
filing of our reports with the SEC, our common stock will not be able to be
traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is an inter-dealer market that
provides significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange or
automated quotation system. Quotes for stocks included on the OTCBB are not
listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for stocks listed on
national securities exchanges or automated quotation systems. Therefore, prices
for securities traded solely on the OTCBB may be difficult to obtain and holders
of common stock may be unable to resell their securities at or near their
original offering price or at any price. Market prices for our common stock may
be influenced by a number of factors, including:
|
·
|
the
issuance of new equity securities;
|
|
·
|
changes
in interest rates;
|
|
·
|
competitive
developments, including announcements by competitors of new products or
services or significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships,
joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
|
·
|
variations
in quarterly operating results;
|
|
·
|
change
in financial estimates by securities
analysts;
|
|
·
|
the
depth and liquidity of the market for our common
stock;
|
|
·
|
investor
perceptions of our company and the technologies industries generally;
and
|
|
·
|
general
economic and other national
conditions.
|
Our
Common Stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
|
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
|
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Failure
To Achieve And Maintain Internal Controls In Accordance With Sections 302 And
404(A) Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On
Our Business And Stock Price.
If we
fail to maintain adequate internal controls or fail to implement required new or
improved controls, as such control standards are modified, supplemented or
amended from time to time; we may not be able to assert that we can conclude on
an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial
reporting. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable
financial reports and are important in the prevention of financial
fraud. If we cannot produce reliable financial reports or prevent
fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose
confidence in our reported financial information, and there could be a material
adverse effect on our stock price. We have examined and evaluated our internal
control procedures, including controls over financial reporting to satisfy the
requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as required for our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, and noted
weaknesses that need to be addresses during the current reporting period in
order for our internal controls to be effective. Failure to implement and
maintain internal controls in accordance with sections 302 and 404(a) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business
and stock price.

Because
We Have No Plans To Pay Dividends On Our Common Stock, Stockholders Must Look
Solely To Appreciation Of Our Common Stock To Realize A Gain On Their
Investments.
We do not
anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion
of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our
board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business,
financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and investment
opportunities. In addition, our senior credit facility limits the payment of
dividends without the prior written consent of the lenders. Accordingly,
stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a
gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.
Certain
provisions of Nevada law and of our corporate charter may inhibit a potential
acquisition of our Company, and this could depress our
stock price.
Nevada
corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in
control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage
information contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders
to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these
provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future
for shares of our common stock. For example:
(i)
|
without
prior stockholder approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to
issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those
of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges and inference of
that preferred stock;
|
(ii)
|
there
is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would
otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director
candidates; and
|
(iii)
|
stockholders
cannot call a special meeting of
stockholders.

2. PROPERTIES
The
Company leases its principal executive offices, which are located at 708 3rd Avenue,
6th
Floor, New York, New York. The lease is on a month to month basis and is in a
shared executive office facility at a cost of approximately $2000 per
month.
The
Operations of the Company, including marketing, sales, customer service,
accounting, technical support, education delivery, product and software
development are located in the Salt Lake City Utah area in two separate
facilities of approximately 2000 square feet each. Since the company
scaled back its operations and headcount in the past year during the business
conversion process to online operations, the company has been operating out of
shared facilities in Utah through affiliates of the Company, rent free, up to
March 31, 2010. As of April 1, 2010 the Company will pay approximately $3,000
per month for both facilities on a month to month basis until such time that a
larger single facility is needed.
The
Company believes that its current properties are adequate for its current and
immediately foreseeable operating needs. The Company does not have any policies
regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of
property.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which
arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is
subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other
matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. As of March 31,
2010 the Company was engaged in one legal matter: On July 16, 2009, a petition
for judgment was filed with the Civil Court of the City of New York naming the
Company as a defendant relating to property leased by the Company from the
defendant for recovery of past due rent payments, interest and legal
costs. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accrued their
obligation under the lease. On March 30, 2010, the Company settled for
$156,720. In additional the Company may be obligated to additional
monies due on the primary lease of $67,600. As of March 31,
2010, the Company has accrued their obligations under the lease.

RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On July
31, 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July
2009 Agreement”) with accredited investors (the “July 2009 Investors”) pursuant
to which the July 2009 Investors purchased an aggregate principal amount of
$850,000 of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes for an aggregate purchase price of
$850,000 (the “July 2009 Notes”). In addition, for every $1.00 in
July 2009 Notes purchased, the July 2009 Investors received a common stock
purchase warrant to acquire approximately sixteen and two thirds (16 2/3) shares
of common stock (the “July 2009 Warrants”) resulting in the issuance of July
2009 Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 14,166,677 shares of common stock of
the Company.
The July
2009 Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares
of common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.03 per share. The
conversion price of the July 2009 Notes is subject to weighted average
anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent lower price issuances by the Company, as
well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations and the like. The full principal amount of
the July 2009 Notes is due upon a default under the terms of the July 2009
Notes. The July 2009 Notes is secured by all of the assets of the Company,
including, but not limited to, the list of the Company’s subscribers, contracts
with the subscribers and all intellectual property and source
codes. The July 2009 Notes bear interest at 8% and mature three
years from the date of issuance. The Company may pay interest in cash or shares
of common stock of the Company, at the option of the holder. If the
Company pays interest in shares of common stock, then the amount of
shares to be delivered shall be equal to the dollar amount of the interest owed
divided by the average closing price for the Company’s common stock during the
30 calendar days immediately prior to the interest due date of the July 2009
Notes.
The July
2009 Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of
issuance at a price of $0.05 per share. In the event that the
Company’s volume weighted average price is greater than $0.25 for a period of 30
consecutive days, then the Company, within 30 days of such event occurring, may
send notice to the July 2009 Investors advising that the warrants must be
exercised within 30 days of such notice. The July 2009 Warrants are
subject to weighted average anti-dilution adjustment for subsequent issuances by
the Company at a price less than the conversion price of the July 2009 Notes, as
well as customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations and the like.
The
securities were offered and sold to the July 2009 Investors in a private
placement transaction made in reliance upon exemptions from registration
pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506
promulgated under Regulation D thereunder. The July 2009 Investors are
accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933.
On
December 17, 2009, the Company issued $30,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes (
the “December 2009 Notes”) that matures December 17, 2012. The December 2009
Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% and will be convertible into 34,300,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion rate of $.03 per share and
are subject to certain dilutive issuance provisions. Interest will also be
converted into common stock at the conversion rate of $.003 per share. In
connection with the issuance of the December 2009 Notes, the Company issued
500,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $0.050 per share over
five years and is subject to certain dilutive issuance provisions.
On March
31, 2010, the Company issued $754,473 in Convertible Promissory Notes that
mature March 31, 2013 in exchange for accrued and unpaid salaries. These notes
bear interest at a rate of 8% and will be convertible into 25,149,100 shares of
the Company’s common stock, at a conversion rate of $.03 per share. Interest
will also be converted into common stock at the conversion rate of $.003 per
share. In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company issued

over five years.

rate of $.03 per share. Interest will also be converted into common stock at the

Company’s common stock, at a conversion rate of $.05 per share. Interest will

of its common stock.

Background
The
Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 1, 2005. Effective
September 18, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.com,
Inc., and on October 1 2008 changed its name to Global Investor Services,
Inc.
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.
14
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.
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 investors 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.

The
Variance in Revenue from the year ending March 31, 2010 and the prior year
ending March 31 2009 was due to the restructuring of the Company’s business
operations from a seminar and physical classroom based business model that was
marketed through, primarily traditional print media to an On Line based business
model that provides subscription based services and training through live and
recorded webinars and is marketed through a number of On Line media channels.
This restructuring to online operations required most of the year to complete
and in the process the seminar and classroom presentation of training and
enlistment of new subscribers was suspended by management until the On Line
model was ready to launch. During this restructuring period the
primary revenue was derived from legacy subscribers who continued to utilize
training received under the seminar model by retaining their subscriptions to
the Company’s Internet based stock analysis tools such as Marketpoint, Star
Trader, etc. Normal, expected attrition of subscribers to the
stock analysis tools accounts for the majority of the reduced subscription
revenue of 35% from $1,543,903 in 2009 to $1,006,984 for the year ending March
31, 2010.; whereas, the suspension of training during this transition to online
accounts for the reduction of Training revenue of 87% from $1,031,903 in 2009 to
$134,703 for the year ending March 31, 2010.
During
the year ended March 31, 2010, our cost of revenue was $918,159 or 80% of
revenue as compared to $2,431,115 or 94% of revenue. The improvement
in margin rate is a result of our transition from the higher
cost physical seminar and classroom business model to the
company’s On Line based business model..

Our
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $6,057,215 to
$4,733,989 or $1323,226 (22%). The decrease is a result of reductions in
overhead and operating costs as compared to prior year, due to the change to the
On Line business model which reduced personnel, marketing, travel, and
facilities costs
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.

Interest
expense decreased from $1,947,635 to $999,001, a $948,634 or 49%
decrease. The decrease is primarily due to a lower amortization of
the recorded beneficial conversion feature from $1,206,895 to
$409,114.
During
the year ended March 31, 2010, we issued promissory notes and related warrants
that contain certain reset provisions. As such, we are required to
record these reset provisions as a liability and mark to market each reporting
period. For the year ended March 31, 2010, we recorded a loss of
$686,613 in change in the fair value of these reset provisions.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,280,381. The
Company generated a deficit in cash flow from operating activities of $1,157,964
for the year ended March 31, 2010. This deficit is primarily attributable to the
Company's net loss from operations of $7,078,045 and is partially offset by
following:
|
·
|
Loss
due to change in fair value of warrant and reset derivatives of
$686,613;
|
|
·
|
a
charge for the value of options issued for services of
$785,420;
|
|
·
|
a
charge for re-pricing of employee options of
$9,381;
|
|
·
|
recognition
of an imbedded beneficial conversion of convertible debentures of
$409,114;
|
|
·
|
stock
issued for services of $1,574,759, (including amortization of
deferred compensation costs of
$862,789);
|
|
·
|
amortization
and depreciation expense of $1,005,743;
and
|
|
·
|
changes
in the balances of current assets and
liabilities.
|
Deferred
costs, employee advances and other assets decreased by
$67,169. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by
$1,431,324 and deferred revenue decreased by $28,415.
The
Company met its cash requirements during the year ended March 31, 2010 through
net proceeds from convertible debt of $1,230,970, net with payments to related
parties of $99,437.
Additional
financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow
deficits from operations and development. We estimate that during the next
twelve months we will need approximately $2,000,000 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, and we
will have to adjust our planned operations and development on a more limited
scale.
17
We
presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external
sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to
expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need
to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private
lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining
additional funding.
We will
still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able
to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but
we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing
transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining
credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of
our common stock and a downturn in the equity and debt markets could make it
more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt
securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that
we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant
amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force
us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or
debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of
existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available
or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our
operations.
Auditor’s
Opinion Expresses Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a “Going
Concern”
The
independent auditors report on our March 31, 2010 financial statements states
that the Company's historical losses and accumulated deficiency raise
substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,
due to the losses incurred and deficiency. If we are unable to develop our
business, we will have to reduce, discontinue operations or cease to exist,
which would be detrimental to the value of the Company's common stock. We can
make no assurances that our business operations will develop and provide us with
significant cash to continue operations.
Addressing
the Going Concern Issues
In order
to improve the Company's liquidity, the Company's management is actively
pursuing additional financing through discussions with investment bankers,
financial institutions and private investors. There can be no assurance the
Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional
financing.
We
continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is subject to our ability to develop profitable operations. We are
devoting substantially all of our efforts to developing our business and raising
capital. Our net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals
and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove
successful.
The
primary issues management will focus on in the immediate future to address this
matter include:
|
·
|
seeking
institutional investors for debt or equity investments in our
company;
|
|
·
|
implementing
the new sales and marketing strategy of direct on-line based recruitment
of subscribers to thereby increase revenues and the resultant increased
cash flow; and
|
|
·
|
initiating
negotiations to secure short term financing through promissory notes or
other debt instruments on an as needed
basis.
|
We will
need to raise additional capital through a private placement of our securities.
We are planning to raise up to $2,000,000 during the next twelve months. This
should allow ample cash resources in order to maintain operations for at least
12 months, provided we can reach our objectives in growing our customer base and
operating revenue. If we can achieve our revenue objective, management believes
we would be able to break even during the next 12 months.
18
Inflation
The
impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost
increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The
Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant
impact on the Company's operations over the past quarter, and the Company does
not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on
future operations.
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) collectability 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 collectability 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.
19
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
March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s deferred revenue was $79,633 and
$108,048, respectively
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 350-10, Intangibles, Goodwill
and Other (“ASC 350-10”). In accordance with ASC 350-10, 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.
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.
20
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 is included in cost of net revenues in the current period expenses.
During the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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
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 an 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.
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
years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 years ended March 31, 2010
and 2009 of $794,801 and $785,425 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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 on
Consolidation to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with
variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information
to users of financial statements. The guidance is effective as of the
beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Earlier
adoption is prohibited. The adoption of the guidance did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
21
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”).
2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value
measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and
liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position.
This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 “Compensation—Stock
Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation”
(“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange
Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain
shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05
further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position
different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this
pronouncement will have any material impact on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 “Accounting for Various
Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs” (“2010-04”). 2010-04 represents
technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the
Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have
any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an
update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with
respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a subsidiary or
group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is
transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a
group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a
non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture.
Management, does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 “Accounting for Distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force” (“2010-03”) an update of ASC 505 “Equity.” 2010-03 clarifies
the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their
affect on the computation of earnings per shares. Management does not expect
adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or operating cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 820 on
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The guidance requires some
new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair
value measurement. The guidance requires a reporting entity to use
judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to
provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure
fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As this standard
relates to disclosures, the adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855)”
(“2010-09”). 2010-09 clarifies the interaction of Accounting Standards
Codification 855 “Subsequent Events” (“Topic 855”) with guidance issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as the intended breadth
of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events found in
paragraph 855-10-50-4 in Topic 855. This update is effective for annual or
interim periods ending after June 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating
whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
22
In
February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 “Technical Corrections to
Various Topics” (“2010-08”). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC
paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently
evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March
2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue
Recognition. This standard provides that the milestone method is a
valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition
if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about
whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a
milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception
of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a substantive
milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to
be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the
milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have
to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to
all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No bifurcation
of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone
in an arrangement. The standard is effective for interim and annual
periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
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,
and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Trends,
Risks and Uncertainties
We have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors
before making an investment decision with respect to our Common
Stock.
Cautionary
Factors That May Affect Future Results
We have
sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but we
cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor
can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might
arise.
Potential Fluctuations in Annual
Operating Results
Our
annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result
of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: the
demand for our products and services; seasonal trends in purchasing, the amount
and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the commercial
and consumer financing; price competition or pricing changes in the market;
technical difficulties or system downtime; general economic conditions and
economic conditions specific to the consumer financing sector.
Our
annual results may also be significantly impacted by the impact of the
accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters.
Particularly at our early stage of development, such accounting treatment can
have a material impact on the results for any quarter. Due to the foregoing
factors, among others, it is likely that our operating results may fall below
our expectations or those of investors in some future quarter.
Dependence
Upon Management
Our
future performance and success is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of
our Management. To a very significant degree, we are dependent upon the
continued services of Nicholas S. Maturo, our Chief Executive Officer and member
of our Board of Directors, and William Kosoff, our President and Chief Financial
Officer and member of our Board of Directors. If we lost the services of Mr.
Maturo, Mr. Kosoff, or other key employees before we could get qualified
replacements, the loss could materially adversely affect our
business.
23
Our
officers and directors are required to exercise good faith and high integrity in
our Management affairs. Our bylaws provide, however, that our directors shall
have no liability to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director except with respect to (1) a breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) liability which may be specifically defined by law or (4)
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Management
of Growth
We may
experience growth, which will place a strain on our managerial, operational and
financial systems resources. To accommodate our current size and manage growth
if it occurs, we must devote management attention and resources to improve our
financial strength and our operational systems. Further, we will need to expand,
train and manage our sales and distribution base. There is no guarantee that we
will be able to effectively manage our existing operations or the growth of our
operations, or that our facilities, systems, procedures or controls will be
adequate to support any future growth. Our ability to manage our operations and
any future growth will have a material effect on our stockholders.
If we
fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from
the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the
secondary market.
Companies
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be
current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation
privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our
reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a
result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely
affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and
the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary
market.

ITEM
9(A). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010
we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal
financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in
Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of
the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of
March 31, 2010.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial
reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the
Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
With the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
(principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2010 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below,
management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 based on the COSO
framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the
lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control
environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses
are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The
small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in
the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such
remediation.
To
mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on
direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and
accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of
employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties
within the internal control framework.
These
control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that
would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our
consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as
described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light
of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in
order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2010 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in
accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our
material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2010 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with
US GAAP.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
25
Limitations
on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
(principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and
procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of
controls 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. Over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes
in Internal Controls
During
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, there have been no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial
reporting.

Employment
Agreements
On
January 23, 2007 the Company entered into a three year employment contract with
Nicholas Maturo as CEO (the “Maturo Agreement”). In addition,
the Company elected him to the Board of Directors and appointed him Chairman of
the Board. The Maturo Agreement provides a first year annual salary of $225,000
with annual increases and certain performance-based bonuses. In addition, the
Maturo Agreement awards stock options of 6,000,000 shares with 1,500,000 vesting
upon signing and the balance vesting over the life of the contract.
On June
30, 2008, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
with Nicholas S. Maturo (the “Amended Maturo Agreement”), the Company’s Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Company since January 23,
2007.
The
Amended Maturo Agreement extends the term of Mr. Maturo’s employment for five
(5) years, as may be extended or earlier terminated pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Amended Maturo Agreement and provides for automatic renewals
for successive three (3) year periods unless, prior to the 90th
calendar day preceding the expiration of the then existing term, either the
Company or Mr. Maturo provide written notice to the other that it elects not to
renew the term
Based on
performance criteria to be agreed upon between the Board of Directors and Mr.
Maturo at the beginning of each operating year and for the duration of the term,
Mr. Maturo’s salary will be increased to $300,000, effective January 23, 2008,
$400,000, effective January 23, 2009 and $500,000, effective January 23, 2010
for the duration of the term, subject to any additional increases on the
recommendations of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the
Board of Directors, as applicable.
On
February 1, 2009 the Board of Directors and Mr. Maturo agreed to freeze his
compensation at $225,000 per year (the “Salary”) until the Company can generate
revenues to attain positive cash flow on an ongoing basis and it is deemed
feasible to increase the base salary upwards. The additional salaries
contained in the Amended Maturo Agreement over and above the $225,000 annual
rate are not being accrued.
Additionally,
Mr. Maturo receives the following equity compensation from Company
(collectively, the “Equity Compensation”) upon execution of the Amended Maturo
Agreement:
(a)
|
an
option to purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, with
options to purchase 3,000,000 fully vested shares, options to purchase
1,500,000 shares vesting on January 23, 2009 and the remaining options to
purchase 1,500,000 shares vesting on January 23, 2010, with a exercise
price of $0.06 per share and a cashless exercise
feature;
|
(b)
|
5,000,000
shares of restricted common stock of the Company granted and fully-vested
as of the date of the Amended Maturo Agreement, with the Company paying
all associated tax obligations on behalf of the
Employee;
|
(c)
|
In
addition to Salary and Equity Compensation, Mr. Maturo will be entitled to
receive an annual cash bonus equal to at least 50% and up to 100% of the
Salary, subject to the recommendations of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors, as applicable, based
upon performance criteria to be agreed upon between the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors, as
applicable, and Mr. Maturo at the beginning of each operating year of the
Company during the term; and
|
(d)
|
Mr.
Maturo also shall be entitled to receive incentive bonuses upon the
closing of strategic acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic
transactions and/or relationships which are intended to accrue a
significant benefit to the Company, by the Company, as recommended by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of
Directors, as applicable, to be agreed upon between the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors, as
applicable, and Mr. Maturo during the
Term.

POLICY ON
AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF

the Company's Board of Directors' policy is to pre-approve all audit and
permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These
services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and
other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any
pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services
and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and
management are required to periodically report to the Company's Board of
Directors regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors
in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to
date. The Board of Directors may also pre-approve particular services on a
case-by-case basis.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board
of Directors,
Global
Investor Services, Inc.
(Formerly
TheRetirementSolution.com, Inc.)
New York,
New York
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Investor
Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly TheRetirementSolution.com,
Inc., the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, (deficiency in) stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2010. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based upon
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31,
2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the two years in the period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Note 2, the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net accumulated
deficiency as of March 31, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this
matter are described in Note 2. The accompanying statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements follows:
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 which 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 March 31, 2010, the Company
has accumulated losses of $56,784,072.
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 or liabilities. As a result of the
Agreement, there was a change in control of the public entity. In accordance
with SFAS No. 141, 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.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiaries, Voxpath Holdings, Inc., ITT and Razor. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
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.

MARCH

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) collectability 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 collectability 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 ASC 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 ASC 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:

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 350-10, Intangibles, Goodwill
and Other (“ASC 350-10”). In accordance with ASC 350-10, 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.

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 March 31, 2010 and 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.

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 March 31, 2010 and 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 years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10,
Compensation-Stock 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 an 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.
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
years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 years ended March 31, 2010
and 2009 of $794,801 and $785,425 respectively was recorded as a current
period charge to earnings.

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
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.
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.
Income
Taxes
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income
Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for
financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. The
adoption of ASC 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Net Loss per
Share
The
Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings
Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been
calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Convertible debt, stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock
equivalents in the diluted loss per share because there effect is anti-dilutive
on the computation.

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Reliance on Key Personnel
and Consultants
The
Company has only 24 full-time employees and no part-time
employees. Additionally, there are approximately 6 consultants
performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily
dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive
officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior
management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the
business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in
place.
Recent accounting
pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 on
Consolidation to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with
variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information
to users of financial statements. The guidance is effective as of the beginning
of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after
November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting
period, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“2010-06”).
2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1
and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value
measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and
liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position.
This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-05 “Compensation—Stock
Compensation—Escrowed Share Arrangements and Presumption of Compensation”
(“2010-05”). 2010-05 re-asserts that the Staff of the Securities Exchange
Commission (the “SEC Staff”) has stated the presumption that for certain
shareholders escrowed share represent a compensatory arrangement. 2010-05
further clarifies the criteria required to be met to establish a position
different from the SEC Staff’s position. The Company does not believe this
pronouncement will have any material impact on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-04 “Accounting for Various
Topics—Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs” (“2010-04”). 2010-04 represents
technical corrections to SEC paragraphs within various sections of the
Codification. Management is currently evaluating whether these changes will have
any material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-02 “Accounting and Reporting for
Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary—a Scope Clarification” (“2010-02”) an
update of ASC 810 “Consolidation.” 2010-02 clarifies the scope of ASC 810 with
respect to decreases in ownership in a subsidiary to those of a subsidiary or
group of assets that are a business or nonprofit, a subsidiary that is
transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture, and an exchange of a
group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity to a
non-controlling interest including an equity method investee or a joint venture.
Management, does not expect adoption of this standard to have any material
impact on its financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows.
Management does not intend to decrease its ownership in any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements (continued)
In
January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-01 “Accounting for Distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash—a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force” (“2010-03”) an update of ASC 505 “Equity.” 2010-03 clarifies
the treatment of stock distributions as dividends to shareholders and their
affect on the computation of earnings per shares. Management does not expect
adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or operating cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 820 on
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The guidance requires some new
disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value
measurement. The guidance requires a reporting entity to use judgment in
determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide
disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value
for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2009. As this standard relates to disclosures, the adoption did not have a
material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855)”
(“2010-09”). 2010-09 clarifies the interaction of Accounting Standards
Codification 855 “Subsequent Events” (“Topic 855”) with guidance issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as the intended breadth
of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events found in
paragraph 855-10-50-4 in Topic 855. This update is effective for annual or
interim periods ending after June 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating
whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In
February 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-08 “Technical Corrections to
Various Topics” (“2010-08”). 2010-08 represents technical corrections to SEC
paragraphs within various sections of the Codification. Management is currently
evaluating whether these changes will have any material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March
2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue
Recognition. This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid
application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the
milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether
the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive
requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To
meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by
achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level
of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of
the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3)
should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the
arrangement. No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can
be more than one milestone in an arrangement. The standard is effective for
interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its
condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. GOING CONCERN
MATTERS
The
Company’s 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 $56,784,072 at March 31, 2010 which raises substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying 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

financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting
purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit,
since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the
Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Due
to possible significant changes in the Company's ownership, the future use of
its existing net operating losses may be limited. All or portion of the
remaining valuation allowance may be reduced in future years based on an
assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax
benefits.

MARCH

17. 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
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:
