NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
(Unaudited)
|
NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying interim period financial statements of Universal Capital
Management, Inc. (the “Company”) are unaudited pursuant to certain rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include,
in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results
for the
periods indicated. Such results, however, are not necessarily indicative
of results that may be expected for the full year. Certain information
and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in
the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules
and regulations. The financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005
as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
Nature
of Business
|
The
Company is a newly organized (inception date of August 16, 2004),
closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has
elected
to be treated as a business development company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The Company is primarily engaged in the business
of
furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to
companies
that do not have ready access to capital through conventional channels.
The Company refers to companies in which it invests as “portfolio
companies.”
|
Security
Valuations
|
Investments
in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported
on the
Nasdaq National Market) are stated at the last reported sales price
on the
day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter
market
(such as OTC BB, Pink Sheets, etc.) and listed securities for which
no
sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid
price.
Restricted securities and other securities (small, privately held
companies) for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at
fair value as determined by the board of directors.
|
Investment
securities are exposed to various risks, such as overall market
volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with the securities
of
certain portfolio companies, it is likely that changes in their values
will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially
affect
the amounts reported in the statement of assets and liabilities at
future
dates.
|
Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to
make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and
liabilities and disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at
the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from
those estimates.
|
Cash
and Equivalents
|
For
purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all
investment instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less
to be cash and cash equivalents.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
(Unaudited)
|
Note
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
CONTINUED
|
Property
and Equipment
|
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
For
financial accounting purposes, depreciation is generally computed
by the
straight-line method over the following useful lives:
|
Furniture
and fixtures 5 to 7 years
|
Computer
and office equipment 3 to 7 years
|
Income
Taxes
|
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences
between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that
will
result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted
tax
laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are
expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes arise principally
from the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from appreciation
in
investment value for financial statement purposes, while for income
tax
purposes, gains or losses are only recognized when realized (i.e.,
on
disposition). When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized
loss, provision is made for a deferred tax asset. When unrealized
gains
and losses result in a net unrealized gain, provision is made for
a
deferred tax liability. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to
be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for
the
period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax
assets
or liabilities.
|
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
|
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of
credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At times, the Company’s
balances with financial institutions may exceed the insured amount
provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
|
Recently
issued Accounting Pronouncements
|
In
December 2004, the FASB revised SFAS 123, “Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation”
to require all companies to expense the fair value of employee stock
options. SFAS 123R is effective at the beginning of the next fiscal
year
that begins after December 15, 2005 for a small business
issuer.

2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion contains forward-looking statements. The words
“anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,”
“will,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views
with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and
uncertainties. Should one or more risks or uncertainties occur, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
and
adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended,
estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. Readers should not place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The
following discussion is qualified by reference to, and should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the notes thereto, and
the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section for the fiscal year ended April
30, 2005 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
Business
Overview
The
Company’s primary business is to invest in emerging growth companies. The
Company intends to assist these companies in strategic and financial planning,
in market strategies and to assist them in trying to achieve prudent and
profitable growth. Management is devoting most of its efforts to general
business planning, raising capital, and seeking appropriate investments.
The
Company’s primary investment objective is to increase its net assets by adding
value to the portfolio companies and thus, to shareholder value. Management
believes that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives by
concentrating on investments in companies which are most likely to benefit
from
management’s expertise in finance, strategic planning, operations, and
technology.
The
income that the Company derives from investments in portfolio companies consists
of management fees, interest income, and appreciation (net of depreciation)
in
the values of portfolio companies. At the time of disposition, the disposition
proceeds of these securities of portfolio companies will most likely make up
most of the Company’s revenues. Consequently, the Company’s success or failure
will depend on investing in portfolio companies the securities of which
appreciate in value more than the sum of Company operating expenses and the
amount by which portfolio company securities depreciate in value. There is
no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the
Board
of Directors is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value of
the
securities and assets held by the Company for which market quotations are not
readily available. In making its determination, the Board of Directors may
consider valuation appraisals provided by independent financial experts although
doing so does not relieve the Board of its obligations to determine fair value.
With respect to private equity securities,
each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks, and then the
value may be assigned a discount reflecting the particular nature of the
investment.
The
Board
of Directors bases its determination on, among other things, applicable
quantitative and qualitative factors. These factors may include, but are
not
limited to, the type of securities, the nature of the business of the portfolio
company, the marketability of the valuation of securities of publicly traded
companies in the same or similar industries, current financial conditions
and
operating results of the portfolio company, sales and earnings growth of
the
portfolio company, operating revenues of the portfolio company, competitive
conditions, and current and prospective conditions in the overall stock market.
12
Without
a
readily recognized market value, the estimated value of some portfolio
securities may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on
the
portfolio if there existed a ready market for such equity
securities.
The
Company may retain a professional valuation consulting firm to provide it with
valuations of the securities of portfolio companies. The Company expects to
pay
a professional fee each time such a valuation is provided.
Financial
Condition
The
Company’s total assets were $4,021,824 and its net assets were $2,304,214 at
January 31, 2006, compared to $3,010,892 and $2,296,038, respectively, at April
30, 2005. Net assets increased by $8,176 for the nine months ended January
31,
2006, and net asset value per share was $0.48 per share at January 31, 2006
and
$0.48 per share at April 30, 2005.
The
changes in total assets and net assets during the nine months ended January
31,
2006 were primarily attributable to:
· |
The
decrease in unrealized appreciation on investments of approximately
$784,000 mainly due to a decrease in value of shares of PSI-TEC Holdings,
Inc., Gelstat Corporation, and Neptune Industries, Inc. offset in
part by
an increase in the value of the shares of Theater Xtreme Entertainment
Group, Inc and BroadRelay Holdings, Inc.
|
· |
The
increase of 200,000 shares in the Company’s investment in PSI-TEC
Holdings, Inc.
|
· |
The
Company’s investment in 964,401 shares of BroadRelay Holdings,
Inc.
|
· |
The
Company’s investment in 1,000,000 shares of AccelaPure Corporation.
|
· |
The
increase in deferred revenue of
$1,252,284.
|
· |
The
decrease in deferred taxes of
$363,400.
|
· |
The
sale of 321,759 of the Company’s common shares for proceeds of
$559,915.
|
The
Company’s unrealized appreciation (depreciation) varies significantly from
period to period as a result of the wide fluctuations in value of the Company’s
portfolio securities. For example, the Company suffered an unrealized loss
of
$1,111,250 on its holdings of PSI-TEC Holdings, Inc. in the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 as a result of a decline in the value of the portfolio shares
from $2,232,500 to $1,121,250 during such time period. By contrast, the Company
incurred an unrealized gain as a result of the listing of the shares of
BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. for trading on the Pink Sheets and the increase in
the
price of the portfolio shares to $1,148,194 on January 31, 2006.
The
Company had unrealized appreciation of $834,036, net of taxes, at January
31,
2006 compared to unrealized appreciation of $497,354, net of taxes, at January
31, 2005.
The
Company’s financial condition is dependent on a number of factors including the
ability of each portfolio company to effectuate its respective strategies
with
the Company’s help. The Company has invested a substantial portion of its assets
in development stage or start-up companies. These businesses are frequently
thinly capitalized, unproven, small companies that may lack management depth,
and may be dependent on new or commercially unproven technologies, and may
have
no operating history.
13
At
January 31, 2006, $3,923,936 or 98.0% of the Company’s assets consisted of
investments, of which net unrealized gains before the income tax effect was
$1,384,336. Deferred taxes on account of unrealized gains have been estimated
at
approximately $550,300. At January 31, 2006, the Company’s holdings of PSI-TEC
Holdings, Inc., BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. and AccelaPure Corporation were valued
at $1,121,250, $1,148,194 and $1,000,000 respectively, which represented in
the
aggregate approximately 83% of the total Company portfolio at that
date.
Because
the portfolio companies tend to be at early stages of their business
development, and because there are no markets for the securities of some
portfolio companies, the Company does not expect to liquidate any of its
investments in the near future.
Results
of Operations
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. On this basis, the principal measure
of an investment company’s financial performance during a time period is the net
change in net assets during such period. Such change results from (i) income
from operations, net of operating expenses, (ii) net realized gain or loss
on
investment, which is the difference between the proceeds received from
dispositions of portfolio securities and their cost, and (iii) increase
(decrease) in unrealized appreciation on investments.
Company
expenses include salaries and wages, professional fees, office expenses and
supplies, rent, travel, and other normal business expenses. General and
administrative costs include rent, depreciation, office, investor relations
and
other overhead costs.
Three
months ended January 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended January 31,
2005.
The
Company generated revenue for services of $329,517 for the three months ended

of $15,673. These expenses compared to $162,291 for the three months ended
January 31, 2005, the principal components of which were payroll of $104,500,
and professional fees of $32,066.
The
Company realized income from operations of $107,611 for the three months ended
January 31, 2006 compared to a loss from operations of ($162,291) for the three
months ended January 31, 2005.
Nine
months ended January 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended January 31,
2005.
The
Company generated revenue for services of $572,817 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 compared to $10,000 for the period August 16, 2004 (date of
inception) to January 31, 2005. 100% of the Company’s revenue for services was
received in the form of equity securities for the nine months ended January
31,
2006 and for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to January 31,
2005.
Total
operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2006 were $703,816,
the
principal components of which were payroll of $341,653, professional fees
of
$189,225, insurance of $47,763 and travel and entertainment of $45,011. These
expenses compared to $194,430 for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception)
to January 31, 2005 the principal components of which were payroll of $104,500
and professional fees of $45,971.
14
The
Company realized a loss from operations of ($130,999) for the nine months ended
January 31, 2006 compared to a loss from operations of ($184,430) for the period
August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to January 31, 2005.
The
Company had unrealized depreciation of $(420,740), net of taxes, for the nine
months ended January 31, 2006 compared to unrealized appreciation of $497,354,
net of taxes, for the period August 16, 2004 (date of inception) to January
31,
2005.
On
January 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of
approximately $656,060 which, if not used, will expire in 2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
From
inception, the Company has relied for liquidity on the infusion of capital
through capital share transactions.
The
Company does not plan to dispose of any of its current portfolio securities
to
meet operational needs. However, despite its plans, the Company may be forced
to
dispose of a portion of these securities if it ever becomes short of cash.
Any
such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times and there is no
assurance that, in light of the lack of liquidity in such shares, they could
be
sold at all, or if sold, could bring values approximating the estimates of
fair
value set forth in the Company financial statements.
The
Company’s cash expenses approximate $70,000 per month. Because Company revenues,
when received, tend to be in the form of portfolio securities, such revenues
are
not of a type capable of being used to satisfy the Company’s ongoing monthly
expenses. Consequently, for the Company to be able to avoid having to defer
expenses or sell portfolio companies’ securities to raise cash to pay operating
expenses, it will need to sell at least $70,000 per month of common stock.
There
is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The Company will be
unable to make any new investments unless it succeeds in raising cash in excess
of the amounts needed for ongoing operations. At January 31, 2006 the Company
had approximately $30,000 in cash and liquid assets.
The
Company is currently offering to sell, on a best efforts basis, up to $4,000,000
of its common stock, $.001 par value per share at a price of not less than
$2.00
per share pursuant to Regulation E promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933.
The offering is open only to appropriate investors in states where the Company
has complied with the appropriate Blue Sky laws. Potential investors have been
referred to the Company by current shareholders and acquaintances of its Board
of Directors and Board of Advisors.
The
Company provides its prospective investors with its Offering Circular dated
March 15, 2006 and a Subscription Agreement governed by the laws of the State
of
Delaware. At the following dates the Company had sold the respective number
of
shares indicated pursuant to the offering:

Management
believes that the Company will continue to be successful in its fundraising
efforts and in attracting new portfolio companies because of expressions of
interest received by the Company from attractive development stage companies
seeking funding and because of the Company’s success in raising funds thus
far.
The
Company’s note payable to BroadRelay Holdings, Inc. in the face amount of
$100,000 comes due on May 31, 2006. The Company does not currently have the
cash
to pay its obligations under this note. The only means the Company has to obtain
such cash is through the sale of additional shares of Company common stock
or
the sale of portfolio securities. There is no assurance that the Company will
be
able to sell enough shares before the maturity date of the note to pay its
ongoing cash obligations and the amount due under the note.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Valuation
The
Investment Company Act of 1940 requires periodic valuation of each investment
in
the Company’s portfolio to determine the Company’s net asset value.
Under
the
Investment Company Act of 1940, unrestricted securities with readily available
market quotations are to be valued at the current market value; all other assets
must be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the Board of Directors.
The
Board
of Directors is responsible for (1) determining
overall valuation guidelines and (2) ensuring
the valuation of investments within the prescribed guidelines.
Fair
value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment could be sold
in an orderly disposition over a reasonable time. Generally, to increase
objectivity in valuing assets, external measures of value, such as public
markets or third-party transactions, are used whenever possible. Valuation
is
not based on long-term work-out value, or immediate liquidation value, or
incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future.
The
values assigned to Company investments are based on available information and
do
not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as such
amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined
until
the individual investments are actually liquidated.
The
Company’s valuation policy and methodology with respect to its portfolio
companies are as follows:
Cost:
The
cost method is based on the Company’s original cost. This method is generally
used in the early stages of a portfolio company’s development until significant
events occur subsequent to the date of the original investment that dictates
a
change to another valuation method. Some examples of these events are:
(1) a
major recapitalization; (2) a
major refinancing; (3) a
significant third-party transaction; (4) the
development of a meaningful public market for such company’s common stock; and
(5) significant
changes in such company’s business.
Private
Market: The private market method uses actual, executed, historical transactions
in a portfolio company’s securities by responsible third parties as a basis for
valuation.
The
private market method may also use, where applicable, unconditional firm
offers
by responsible third parties as a basis for valuation.
Public
Market: The public market method is used when there is an established public
market for the class of the portfolio company’s securities held by the Company.
However, the Company discounts market value for securities that are subject
to
significant legal or contractual restrictions. Other securities, for which
market quotations are readily available, are carried at market value as of
the
time of valuation. Market value for securities traded on a securities exchange
or on the Nasdaq National Market is the last reported sales price on the
day of
valuation. For other securities traded in the over-the-counter market
and
16
listed
securities for which no sale was reported on a day, market value is the last
quoted bid price on such day.
Analytical
Method: The analytical method is generally used to value an investment position
when there is no established public or private market in the portfolio company’s
securities or when the factual information available to the Company dictates
that an investment should no longer be valued under either the cost or private
market method. This valuation method is inherently imprecise and ultimately,
the
result of reconciling the judgments of our directors based on the data available
to them. The resulting valuation, although stated as a precise number, is
necessarily within a range of values that vary depending upon the significance
attributed to the various factors being considered. Some of the factors
considered may include the financial condition and operating results of the
portfolio company, the long-term potential of the business of such company,
the
values of similar securities issued by companies in similar businesses, the
proportion of the portfolio company’s securities owned by the Company and the
nature of any rights to require the portfolio company to register restricted
securities under applicable securities laws.
