COCONNECT, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

At March 31, 2012

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.


Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses, had negative operating cash flows and has not generated any significant revenues in recent fiscal years. In addition, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $11.8 million at March 31, 2012. These factors raise 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, restructuring its financial obligations, and obtaining additional outside financing.  The Company has funded losses from operations primarily from the issuance of debt, issuance of common stock 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.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


A financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk is cash.  The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits to $250,000 per owner.  In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012, there were no uninsured deposits.


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. Estimates and assumptions principally relate to the fair value and forfeiture rates of stock based transactions, and long-lived asset depreciation and amortization, and potential impairment.


Income Taxes


Income tax expense is provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.  The differences relate primarily to the effects of net operating loss carry forwards and differing basis, depreciation methods, and lives of depreciable assets. The deferred tax assets represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be deductible when the assets are recovered.

 



6




No income tax benefit (expense) was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of tax losses in this period and because deferred tax benefits, derived from the Company’s prior net operating losses, were previously fully reserved.  The Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.0 million.


The Company currently has tax return periods open beginning with December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2010.


Basic Net Loss per Share of Common Stock


Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented.  Diluted earnings per share are computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.  At March 31, 2012 there was no common stock equivalents issued.  


Financial Instruments


Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:


Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.


Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.


Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.


The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents accounts payable, other payables and accrued expenses, approximate their market values as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance


On January 1, 2012, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 3.  OTHER PAYABLES


The Company began capital raising efforts during the year ended December 31, 2011 to cover certain cash obligations regarding possible acquisition targets and other capital funding needs.  At December 31, 2011 we had raised $209,977 and have recorded these cash receipts as other payables on the Balance Sheets.  The Company is in the process of creating financing documentation (“Financing Offer”) related to these payables and once finalized will roll these amounts into a bridge promissory note and/or future share issuances that are consistent with our Financing Offer, of which the terms have not been finalized.  In March 2012, the Company determined it did not raise the required funds to close on our capital raising effort, and began returning amounts to the prospective investors on a pro-rata basis.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had $114,977 due to these prospective investors, and subsequently returned to them as described in Note 7.  


NOTE 4.  PREFERRED STOCK


At March 31, 2012 preferred stock of the Company consisted of: $0.001 par value: 1,000,000 shares authorized. 100,000 shares issued and outstanding



7




NOTE 5.  COMMON STOCK


At March 31, 2012 common stock of the Company consisted of: $0.001 par value: 4,999,000,000 shares authorized and 2,750,000 shares issued and outstanding.


On January 20, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a law firm for professional services provided, valued at $61,000.  Services by the law firm were never performed, as a result these shares were subsequently returned to the Company and retired in its treasury and no expense was recorded.  


NOTE 6.  WARRANTS – RELATED PARTY


65,000 warrants were issued to Brad Bingham, our director, and 15,000 warrants were issued to Dave Hunt, the managing member of RVCA, a principal owner of the Company, during the year ended December 31, 2011, for services provided.  The warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  The variables used in this option-pricing model included: (1) discount rates of .24% (2) expected warrant life is two years, (3) expected volatility of 345% and (4) zero expected dividends.  These warrants expire on December 19, 2013.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This discussion and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We review our estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in ‘‘Critical Accounting Policies,’’ and have not changed significantly.

 

In addition, certain statements made in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continues" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us.  Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Forward-looking statements are only predictions.  The forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly 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.  The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing.


OVERVIEW AND PLAN OF OPERATION


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. We are no longer 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.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


Changes in Management


On April 8, 2012, Mr. Marc Applbaum, Esq. resigned from his position as a director of the Company. Mr. Applbaum’s resignation was not because of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.



9




On April 8, 2012, Mr. Robert K. Bench resigned from his position as President and Director of the Company. Mr. Bench’s resignation was not because of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.


Immediately following their resignations, on April 8, 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Mark L. Baum, Esq. as the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Director. The Company and Mr. Baum currently maintain no material plan, contract or arrangement relating to Mr. Baum’s positions with the Company or related compensation.

Total costs and expenses of $4,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of $4,000 in professional fees and $708 in consulting and other general and administrative expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sustained net losses of $5,495 as compared with net losses of $14,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.


For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring a loss as a result of legal and accounting expenses, and consulting expenses associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates. The Company anticipates that until a business combination is completed with an acquisition candidate, it will not generate substantial revenues, and may continue to operate at a loss after completing a business combination, depending upon the performance of the acquired business.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


At March 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $114,453 and total liabilities of $160,517, resulting in a working capital deficiency of $46,064. The Company had a stockholders' deficit of $46,064 at March 31, 2012.


NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING


Additional funding will be required in order for the company to survive as a going concern and to finance growth and to achieve our strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing additional sources of funding. If we do not raise sufficient funds in the future, we may not be able to fund expansion, take advantage of future opportunities, meet our existing debt obligations or respond to unanticipated requirements. Financing transactions in the future may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.



10




The amount and timing of our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the level of funding received from possible future private placements of our common stock and the level of funding obtained through other financing sources, and the timing of such funding.


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.


GOING CONCERN


The Company has incurred recurring operating losses, had negative operating cash flows and has not generated any significant revenues in recent fiscal years. In addition, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $11.9 million at March 31, 2012. These factors raise 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, restructuring its financial obligations, and obtaining additional outside financing.  The Company has funded losses from operations primarily from the issuance of debt, issuance of common stock 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to them to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Such reasons for ineffectiveness were described in the Company’s Form 10-K, and subsequent amendments, for the period ending December 31, 2011 and continue to date.


During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  


At March 31, 2012, we do not have an audit committee, or a person serving on our Board of Directors who would qualify as a financial expert.
