1. Description of Business
Organization
a. Corporate
History.
CoConnect,
Inc. (formerly known as Advanced Wireless Communications, Inc.) (the "Company")
was incorporated in Alabama in December 1997 to take over the assets of related
business involved in reorganizations through bankruptcies. In 1997, we acquired
Mobile Limited Liability Company as part of the confirmation by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas of a Plan of Reorganization
of Mobile Limited Liability Company. We acquired all of the assets of Digital
Wireless Systems ("DWSI") on August 6, 2000, as part of the consummation of
DWSI's confirmed Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. Lack of funding forced us to abandon plans to revive the operations of
both companies.
In 2000,
we acquired three operating subsidiaries, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc., Rap
Group and Voltage Vehicles. In 2002, we rescinded these acquisitions, and in
October 2004 cancelled the common shares that were to be issued for the
acquisitions, which shares had been held in escrow. During 2002 and 2003, the
Company had no operations other than to continue its efforts to liquidate
certain telecommunications licenses, the only assets of the Company, in order to
pay creditors who had judgments arising out of the bankruptcies.
In August
of 2004, we moved our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Advanced
Wireless Communications, Inc.
On
October 5, 2004, we signed a definitive agreement with Heritage Communications,
Inc. ("Heritage") and acquired an exclusive license for the marketing and
distribution of products over Heritage's proprietary high-speed wireless
network.
On
January 28, 2005, we executed a share exchange agreement with Heritage and its
stockholders. The share exchange agreement closed on February 23, 2005 and
superseded the exclusive license with Heritage by making Heritage our wholly
owned subsidiary.
In
February 2005, we changed our name to CoConnect, Inc.
On July
14, 2005, we rescinded the Share Exchange Agreement with Heritage due to
material omissions and misrepresentations had been made by Heritage. As a result
of the rescission, the Company cancelled the 30 million shares of common stock
previously issued to the shareholders of Heritage.
On
December 21, 2005, we purchased through our newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, Phoenix Asset Acquisition Corporation, selected assets of Phoenix
Systems Corp. (“Phoenix”). The terms of the purchase include the issuance of 8
million shares of our common stock, 2 million of which are being held in escrow
until certain performance measures are achieved; a $50,000 cash payment and the
assumption of approximately $374,000 of Phoenix liabilities and approximately
$49,000 in real property leases. At December 31, 2005, the Phoenix
acquisition was mutually rescinded. The financial statements have
been stated as if the transaction never happened.
On December 12, 2008, a majority of the
holders of our common shares voted to authorize a reverse split of our common
shares at a rate of 1 share for every 12,000 shares held. On March
10, 2009, Nasdaq notified us that the reverse split shareholder action of
December 12, 2008, which took effect on January 12, 2009, would effect our stock
trading symbol as of March 10, 2009 and that our new trading stock symbol would
be “CCON.”
b. Current Business
Operations.
Our
previous business model focused on the exploration of VoIP technology. VoIP is
the delivery of voice information in the language of the Internet, i.e., as
digital packets instead of the current circuit protocols of the copper-based
phone networks. In VoIP systems analog voice messages are digitized and
transmitted as a stream of data (not sound) packets that are reassembled and
converted back into a voice signal at their destination. VoIP allows telephony
users to bypass long-distance carrier charges by transporting those data packets
just like other Internet information.
Although
we are still investigating the profitability of pursuing the VoIP Technology
business, management is of the belief that there may be more value for our
shareholders if we were able to (i) attract a more substantial operating company
and engage in a merger or business combination of some kind, or (ii) acquire
assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates
revenues. We have several acquisitions in mind and are investigating the
candidates to determine whether or not they will add value to the Company for
the benefit of our shareholders. Our Board of Directors intends to obtain
certain assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating
such a transaction. Any business combination or transaction will likely result
in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present
stockholders.
We do not
intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry
segment, and we may consider, among others, finance, brokerage, insurance,
transportation, communications, research and development, service, natural
resources, manufacturing or high-technology business. Of course, because we have
limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with,
will be limited accordingly. Because we may participate in a business
opportunity with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new
phase of growth, it should be emphasized that we may incur further risk due to
the failure of the target's management to have proven its abilities or
effectiveness, or the failure to establish a market for the target’s products or
services, or the failure to prove or predict profitability.
Personnel
As of
December 31, 2007, we had no employees.
Item
2. Description of Properties
We
currently do not own any real property nor do we lease any real
property. We receive mail at the office of Mr. Baum, our interim CEO
at 2038 Corte Del Nogal, Suite 110, Carlsbad, California, 92011.
Item
3. Legal Proceedings
During
2006, the Company was involved in several lawsuits. As disclosed in our 8-K
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2007, the
Company and Heritage Communications, Inc., parties to consolidated lawsuits in
the State of Utah, Third District Court, Civ. Nos. 05-091-1718 and 05-091-2224,
agreed that all allegations about the parties made in prior filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and all allegations made in lawsuits between
the parties have been completely settled and resolved by all parties, and the
lawsuits have been settled with prejudice.

5: Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
(a)
Market Information.
The
common stock of the Company, $.001 par value, is currently traded over the
counter and is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CCNN" The
availability of historical trading prices of our common stock is limited, with
periods of little or no trading activity. The following table sets forth the
available approximate range of high and low closing prices for the common stock
of the Company during the periods indicated. The quotations presented are split
adjusted and reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup,
markdown, or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions
in the common stock.

On March
18, 2009 the closing quotation for our common stock was $1.54 per share. As
reflected by the high and low prices on the foregoing table, the trading price
of the common stock of the Company can be volatile with dramatic changes over
short periods. The trading price may reflect imbalances in the supply and demand
for shares of the Company, market reaction to perceived changes in the industry
in which the Company sells products and services, general economic conditions,
and other factors. Investors are cautioned that the trading price of the common
stock can change dramatically based on changing market perceptions that may be
unrelated to the Company and its activities.
(b) Approximate number of equity
security holders.
The
approximate number of record holders of the Company's common stock as of March
18, 2009 was 4,688, which does not include shareholders whose stock is held
through securities position listings.

The
Company did not declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock during the
past two fiscal years.
(d)

6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this
report. This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
statements contained in this report that are not historic in nature,
particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” or “plans” or comparable
terminology are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and
assumptions.
The
forward-looking events discussed in this report, the documents to which we refer
you and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives,
may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. For these
statements, we claim the protection of the “bespeaks caution”
doctrine. All forward-looking statements in this document are based
on information currently available to us as of the date of this report, and we
assume no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results to
differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting
Policies.
Our
critical and significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and
judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial
Statements. These policies have been consistently applied in all
material respects and address such matters as revenue recognition and
depreciation methods. The preparation of the 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 of 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. The accounting treatment of a
particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles,
generally accepted in the United States of America, with no need for
management’s judgment in their application. There are also areas in
which management’s judgment in selecting any viable alternative would not
produce a materially different result. See our audited financial
statements and notes thereto which contain accounting policies and other
disclosures required by accounting principles, generally accepted in the United
States of America.

Total
costs and expenses of $590,071 for the year ended December 31, 2007 consisted of

For the
year ended December 31, 2008, we sustained net losses of $15,296 as compared
with net losses of $179,360 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
No
provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements due to the net losses of the Company. Because of the bankruptcy
proceedings and significant changes in ownership of its common stock, the
Company has not determined the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that
may be available to offset future taxable income of the Company. If there have
been substantial changes in the Company's ownership, as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code and related Regulations, there may be substantial annual
limitations of the amount of net operating loss carryforwards, which could be
utilized by the Company.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had assets of $0. There were
liabilities of $104,149 comprised of $49,149 in accounts payable and $55,000 in
notes payable. Current assets of $0 and current liabilities of $88,853, resulted
in a working capital deficiency of $88,853. The Company reported total
stockholders’ deficit of $88,853 at December 31, 2007.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Because of recurring
operating losses and the excess of current liabilities over current assets,
there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on attaining
profitable operations through business acquisitions, restructuring its financial
arrangements, and obtaining additional outside financing as needed.
We intend
to retain any future earnings to retire any existing debt, finance the expansion
of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for general
corporate purposes.
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
Company, from time to time, may publish forward-looking statements relating to
such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological development, new products, research and development activities and
similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a
safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of
the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the
Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed in any of the Company's
forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance, development and results of the Company's business
include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the failure to obtain
additional borrowed and/or equity capital on favorable terms for acquisitions
and expansion; (b) adverse changes in federal and state laws, or other matters
affecting the Company's business; (c) the demand for the Company's products and
services; and (d) other risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings.
This Form
10-K contains and incorporates by reference certain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act with respect to results of operations and businesses of the
Company. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in
this Form 10-K, including those regarding market trends, the Company's financial
position, business strategy, projected costs, and plans and objectives of
management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In general,
such statements are identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases
including, but not limited to, "intended, will, should, may, expect, anticipate,
estimates, projects" or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar
terminology.
Forward-looking
statements are based on the Company's current expectations. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Because forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, the
Company's actual results could differ materially. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are
disclosed hereunder and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. These forward-looking
statements represent the Company's judgment as of the date of this Form 10-K.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the
Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.
The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update its
forward-looking statements.

Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
CoConnect,
Inc.
(A
Development Stage Company)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of CoConnect, Inc., (A Development Stage
Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of income,
changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conduct our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As
discussed in Note 2d the Company has not generated significant revenues or
profits to date. This factor among others raises substantial doubt
the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The
Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain
additional sources of capital and financing. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plans concerning this
matter are also discussed in Note 2d.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2008
and 2007, and the results of its operations and it cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting standards.

December

Note 1
- Organization And History of
the Company
CoConnect,
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Alabama in December 1997 to take over
the assets of related businesses involved in reorganizations through
bankruptcies. In 1997, the Company acquired Mobile Limited Liability
Company (Mobile) as part of the confirmation by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Texas of a Plan of Reorganization of Mobile. The
Company acquired all of the assets of Digital Wireless Systems (“DSWI”) on
August 6, 2000, as part of the consummation of DSWI’s confirmed Plan of
Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Lack of
funding forced the Company to abandon plans to revive the operations of both
companies.
In 2000,
the Company acquired three operating subsidiaries, Daybreak Auto Recovery, Inc.,
Rap Group, and Voltage Vehicles. In 2002, the Company rescinded these
acquisitions and in October 2004 cancelled the common shares that were issued
for the acquisitions, which shares had been held in escrow. During 2002
and 2003, the Company had no operations other than to continue its efforts to
liquidate certain telecommunications licenses, the only assets of the Company,
in order to pay creditors who had judgments arising out of the
bankruptcies.
In August
2004, the Company changed its domicile to Nevada, and changed its name to
Advanced Wireless Communications, Inc.
On
October 5, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Heritage
Communications, Inc. (“Heritage”) and acquired an exclusive license for the
marketing and distribution of telecommunications products over Heritage’s
proprietary high-speed wireless network.
The
Company changed its name to CoConnect, Inc. on January 31, 2005.
Acquisition of Heritage
Communications, Inc. and Rescission of Agreement
On
January 28, 2005, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Heritage Communications, Inc. (“Heritage”) and its
shareholders. The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Heritage in exchange for 30 million shares of the Company’s common stock as
provided by the Agreement.
As part
of the Agreement, Heritage provided warranties and representations that, among
other items, it had no undisclosed outstanding indebtedness and that it had
filed all federal, state and local tax returns which were required and that
Heritage had paid all taxes, interest and penalties, if any, due and payable
related to its tax liabilities. Subsequent to the Agreement being
executed, the Company determined that material omissions and misrepresentations
had been made by Heritage. As a result of these omissions and
misrepresentations, the Company rescinded the Agreement on July 14, 2005.
As a result of the rescission, the Company issued a cancel order to the
transfer agent on the 30 million shares of common stock previously issued to the
shareholders of Heritage. The stock has been recorded at par
value.
Acquisition of Phoenix Asset
Systems Corp and Rescission of the Agreement
On
December 17, 2005, the Company executed a Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Phoenix Asset Systems Corp. (“Phoenix”) and its shareholders. The
Company acquired assets of Phoenix and assumed liabilities in exchange $50,000
in cash and 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The
Companies mutually rescinded the Agreement and the shares were returned to the
Company’s office for cancellation.
Failed Plan of Merger with
Boomj.com, Inc.
On March
23, 2007, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Richard
Ferguson (“Ferguson”) and David O. Black (“Black”) whereby Ferguson and Black
were to provide $25,000 each to pay the Company’s debts. It was agreed that upon
a successful merger or acquisition Ferguson and Black would be repaid out of
proceeds received from the merger or acquisition together with 10% interest. In
the event there was not a merger or acquisition acceptable to a majority of the
Board of Directors within 180 days of the Loan Agreement, Ferguson and Black
were to be immediately issued 50% of the authorized but unissued common stock of
the Company; half of the shares to be issued to Ferguson and half of the shares
to be issued to Black.
On August
7, 2007 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”)
with CoConnect Sub, Inc., a newly-formed Nevada corporation (hereinafter
“CoConnect Sub”) and
Boomj.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter “BOOMJ”), pursuant to which
CoConnect Sub agreed to merge with and into BOOMJ (the “Merger”). The
proposed closing date for the Merger was August 31, 2007. BOOMJ was granted an
extension to September 20, 2007 in which to send a non-refundable deposit. Said
deposit was never received. On September 21, 2007, the merger between BOOMJ and
the Company was cancelled due to lack of performance and failure to meet any of
the objectives set forth in the Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the March 23,
2007 Loan Agreement, on September 23, 2007 Ferguson and Black were each issued
37,500,000 shares of our common stock.
Note 2
- Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
a. Accounting
Method
The
financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
b. Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
c. Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash
equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less at the time of acquisition.
d. Going
Concern Considerations
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. Because of the recurring operating losses and
the excess of current liabilities over current assets, there is substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of
December 31, 2008 the company had convertible notes payable of $55,000 that were
in default status, due to an inability to make required payments. The
Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on attaining profitable
operations, restructuring its financial obligations, and obtaining additional
outside financing. The Company has funded losses from operations primarily
from the issuance of debt and the sale of the Company’s common stock. The
Company believes that the issuance of debt and the sale of the Company’s common
stock will continue to fund operating losses in the short-term until the Company
can generate revenues sufficient to fund its operations.
e. Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, using the
liability method. The estimated future tax effect of differences between
the basis in assets and liabilities for tax and accounting purposes is accounted
for as deferred taxes. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
a valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets if it
were more likely than not that all or some portion of such deferred tax assets
would not be realized. A full allowance against deferred tax assets was
provided as of December 31, 2008.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $11,454,989 that may be offset against future taxable income
through 2025. No tax benefits have been reported in the financial
statements, because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry
forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Net
deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following
components:

Due to
the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating
loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to
annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited as to use in the future.
g. Basic Net Loss per Share of
Common Stock
In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,”
basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive
common share equivalents outstanding during the period. There is a total
of $55,000 in convertible bonds currently outstanding, which are convertible
into common stock at $.09 per share, the common stock equivalents resulting from
the issuance of these stock options have not been included in the per share
calculations because such inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Pursuant
to a 1-for-12,000 reverse split occurring on December 12, 2008 the earnings per
share amounts have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to
reflect the reverse split.

h. Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In March
2008, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on
an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged. We do not anticipate a material impact upon
adoption.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles." SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles
used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity
with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed
to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level
of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below
industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are
not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be
directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is
responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that
are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following
the SEC's approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of
Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60." Diversity
exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by
insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and
measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance
enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured
event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an
insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about
financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided
to users of financial statements. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial position
Note 3 -Financial
Instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), “Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of
financial instruments held by the Company. SFAS 107 defines the fair value
of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The following
methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:
The
carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses
approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
Note 4 - Commitments and
Contingencies
Lawsuits
In
January 2007, the Company and Heritage Communications, Inc., parties to
consolidated lawsuits in the State of Utah, Third District Court, Civ. Nos.
05-091-1718 and 05-091-2224, have agreed that all allegations about the parties
made in prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and all
allegations made in lawsuits between the parties have been completely settled
and resolved by all parties, and the lawsuits have been settled with
prejudice. Included in the settlement was a note issued to a previous
noteholder for $137,000 plus accrued interest. However, this
liability was not removed from the books until a resolution of claims was signed
specifically releasing this claim in the 4th quarter
of the year ended 2007.
Note 5
- Statute of
Limitations
On May
21, 1997 the Company issued a note for the amount of $100,000. An
additional note was issued for $75,000 on March 31, 1998 to the same
noteholder. Statute of Limitations in the state of Utah for contracts
and writings is six years. Therefore, any claim against the company
relating to these notes would be barred by the Utah Statute of
Limitations. As a result, the company removed the notes from its
books and accrued interest.
Note
6
- 0% Convertible Debenture –
Related Party
A $55,000
0% convertible debenture was issued on October 25, 2007. The note is
payable on the first day of the month, beginning on November 1, 2007 and ending
on February 1, 2008, the amount of $13,750 per month. At the time of
this note was issued it was convertible into common stock at
$0.09. This note was issued to serve as a compensation for consulting
services provided and to be provided by a third party. As of December
31, 2008 this note was in default due to the non-payment of the required
principal payment in excess of $20,000 for more than twenty days after the due
date.
This note
was later purchased from the third party it was originally issued to by a
related party, the Noctua Fund, LP. The Noctua Fund, LP is managed by
the Noctua Fund Manager, LLC. Mark Baum, CoConnect’s president, is
also a managing member of the Noctua Fund Manager, LLC. As of
December 31, 2008 no payments have been made to the Noctua Fund,
LP.
Debt
issue with the variable conversion features are considered to be embedded
derivatives and are accountable in accordance with FASB 133; Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The fair value of the
embedded derivative is recorded to derivative liability. This
liability is required to be marked each reporting period. The
resulting discount on the debt is amortized to interest expense over the life of
the related debt. The embedded derivatives issued with the
convertible notes payable had no value at date of issuance on October 25, 2007
and at December 31, 2008.
Note 7 -

when the consultant signed a statement specifically releasing all debts owed to
him from the Company. Included in this resolution was an advancement

company recorded miscellaneous income of $50,000 for previous amounts owed to
the consultant.

Item
8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure
In
January 2005, the Company engaged Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC,
Certified Public Accountants, as its independent registered accountants to audit
its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004.
No services were rendered by other independent accountants during these
years.
In April,
2006, Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC terminated its services for the
Company due to a disagreement in the accounting treatment of assets and
liabilities associated with the pending Heritage litigation and due to the
filing of the quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2005 without
auditor review.
In April,
2006, the Company engaged Pollard-Kelley Auditing Services, Inc. as its
independent registered public accounting firm to audit its financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2005. Pollard-Kelley reviewed the quarterly
report for the period ended September 30, 2006 and determined that there were no
material defects that would require an amended filing for the
quarter.
Item
8A(T). Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting.
(A) Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures
We
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Disclosure
controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of
the Securities Exchange Act). Management assessed the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of
December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
was ineffective based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material
weakness listed below.
Material
Weaknesses Identified
In
connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2008, certain significant deficiencies in internal control became
evident to management that, in the aggregate, represent material weaknesses,
including,
Insufficient
segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited
personnel. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the company internally
performed all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not
limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability
to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the
financial statements. Due to the fact these duties were performed
oftentimes by the same people, a lack of review was created over the financial
reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in
spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial
statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control
deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Insufficient
corporate governance policies. Although we have a code of ethics which
provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance
activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically,
decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented
and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any
misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and
management.
Plan
for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend
to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to
remediate these deficiencies and we intend to consider the results of our
remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2008 assessment
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting.
(B) Changes in internal
controls
During
the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item
8B. Other Information.
Failed Plan of
Merger
On March
23, 2007, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Richard
Ferguson (“Ferguson”) and David O. Black (“Black”) whereby Ferguson and Black
were to provide $25,000 each to pay the Company’s debts. It was agreed that upon
a successful merger or acquisition Ferguson and Black would be repaid out of
proceeds received from the merger or acquisition together with 10% interest. In
the event there was not a merger or acquisition acceptable to a majority of the
Board of Directors within 180 days of the Loan Agreement, Ferguson and Black
were to be immediately issued 50% of the authorized but unissued common stock of
the Company; half of the shares to be issued to Ferguson and half of the shares
to be issued to Black.
On August
7, 2007 we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”)
with CoConnect Sub, Inc., a newly-formed Nevada corporation (hereinafter
“CoConnect Sub”) and
Boomj.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter “BOOMJ”), pursuant to which
CoConnect Sub agreed to merge with and into BOOMJ (the “Merger”). The
proposed closing date for the Merger was August 31, 2007. BOOMJ was granted an
extension to September 20, 2007 in which to send a non-refundable deposit. Said
deposit was never received. On September 21, 2007, the merger between BOOMJ and
the Company was cancelled due to lack of performance and failure to meet any of
the objectives set forth in the Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the March 23,
2007 Loan Agreement, on September 23, 2007 Ferguson and Black were each issued
37,500,000 shares of our common stock.
On
October 30, 2007, the Company entered into a release and indemnity agreement
with Mssrs. Ferguson and Black whereby they extinguished and released all claims
against the company for a total settlement amount of $2,000.
Changes in
Management
On
September 24, 2007, pursuant to a Special Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders,
Mr. Robert Thele was released from his position as Chairman of the Board and Mr.
Dean Becker was released from his positions as Director and Secretary of the
Company. Mr. Richard Ferguson was elected to fill the position of Chairman of
the Board in addition to maintaining his existing positions as President and
Chief Executive Officer. Mr. William Fischer was elected to fill the vacant
Director position on the Board of Directors. Mr. Brad Crawford was elected to
fill the positions of Secretary and Director vacated by Mr. Becker.
On
November 1, 2007, the Company received resignations from Mssrs. Ferguson,
Fischer and Crawford from all positions as Directors and Officers of the
Company. Concurrently with the resignations, the Company’s Board of Directors
appointed Mr. Mark L. Baum, Esq. to the positions of Director, President, Chief
Executive Officer and Secretary of the Company.
Additional
Events
On
October 25, 2007, the Company issued a Zero Interest Convertible Promissory Note
in the amount of $55,000 (the "Convertible Note”) to Richard Ferguson as a
settlement for services provided to the Company. The Convertible Note is
convertible into common stock at $0.09.
