Forward-Looking Statements
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Recently BayHill Capital Corporation, formerly Cognigen Networks, Inc. (“we,” “us”, “Company”, or “BHCC”) announced its intention to enter into the oil and gas business on transactions that must still be negotiated, documented and closed. As of June 30, 2009, we had only signed non-binding letters
of intent to acquire various oil and gas properties in Utah. None of our historic or current business is in the oil and gas industry. References to our future plans involve forward-looking statements.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such
as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other words of similar import, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy
and plans or objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the broader description of forward-looking statements above, we specifically note that statements regarding future developments or results of operations are all forward-looking in nature. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the forward-looking statements, and you should be aware that actual results and events will differ, and may differ materially and adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
You should also consider carefully the statements set forth in this report under “Risk Factors” which address these and additional factors that could cause results or events to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations, including without limitation (i) in our Commission River business, our possible inability to become certified as a reseller in all jurisdictions in which we apply, our possible inability to obtain additional financing, the possible lack of producing agent growth, our possible lack of revenue growth and our possible inability to add new products and services that would generate increased sales, (ii) in our proposed oil and gas business, our possible inability to complete
the transactions we recently announced, our possible inability to extract value for oil and gas leases we may acquire, our failure to generate adequate cash-flow and/or profits from the oil and gas business, and (iii) in any and all of our current or prospective businesses our possible lack of cash flows, our possible loss of key personnel, the possibility of marketplace rate changes and technological changes, the possibility of increased competition and the possibility that any new subsidiary or subsidiaries
will not be successful. Many of these risks are beyond our control.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable cautionary statements. In addition, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of
such risk factors on our business. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements.
BHCC was incorporated in May 1983 in the State of Colorado. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Commission River Corporation (“Commission River”) we market and sell services and products through independent commission-based marketing agents who use the Internet as a platform to provide
customers and subscribers with a variety of telecommunications and technology-based products and services. Historically, we have generated revenues in two ways:
First, we have generated marketing commission revenues from vendors who are represented on web sites operated by independent agents and for whom we sell products and services via contractual agreements. Generally, we enter into contractual agreements with these vendors, who pay us commissions
based on the volume of products and services sold by our independent sales agents. We then pay a portion of those commission revenues to the independent sales agents responsible for making the sales upon which the commissions were based. A significant portion of our commission revenues is attributable to the sale of domestic long distance services and commercial telecommunications services; however, we also generate commission revenues from the sale of wireless communications, residential broadband services,
Voice over Internet (VoIP) services and prepaid calling cards/PINs.
Second, we have, at times also generated revenues from sales of proprietary products and services. Generally, we have acquired or developed these proprietary products and services with the intention of marketing such products and services through our independent agent network. These products and services have included long distance telecommunication
services, online shopping websites and broadband voice, data, video and management communication and control support services. Most of these products have been sold by independent agents, and we have generally paid commissions to independent agents based on the dollar volume of products sold. Currently we do not offer any proprietary products or services. We regularly look for opportunities to acquire or develop proprietary products or services. If we identify any proprietary products or services which we believe
we could market profitably, we may offer proprietary products or services in the future.
On March 31, 2008, we held a special meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved a series of proposals previously approved by our Board of Directors. These proposals consisted of (i) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the outstanding shares of our common stock pursuant to which each
50 shares of our pre-split common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the reverse split would be exchanged for one share of our post-split common stock, (ii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 300,000,000 shares, $.001 par value per share, to 100,000,000 shares, $.0001 par value per share, and the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 20,000,000 shares, no par value per share, to 400,000 shares,
$.0001 par value per share, (iii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to BayHill Capital Corporation and make other changes necessary to facilitate the foregoing actions and the reincorporation of BHCC, (iv) a proposal to reincorporate BHCC under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (v) a proposal to adopt the Cognigen Networks, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
Based upon the approval of our shareholders at the March 31, 2008 special meeting, effective April 23, 2008 our management completed the actions necessary to effect the name change, reverse stock split, Delaware reincorporation and reduction in the number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock. Our common stock began trading on April 23, 2008 on a post-split basis under the symbol "BYHL." All
share and per-share amounts reflected in this report have been restated to reflect the 1 for 50 reverse stock split unless otherwise indicated
Through our network of independent agents, we have previously sold our own proprietary products and services and, as agent, we sell third party or outside vendor products and services, to customers and subscribers worldwide. Long distance and commercial telecommunications services make up the major portion of our sales with wireless communications,
residential broadband services, VoIP services, and other products in our sales mix. As an agent, we have contractual agreements with a variety of product and service vendors that provide us with a commission percentage of any sales made through one of our supported web sites. As agent, we sell the products and services of industry product and service providers such as, AccuLinq, Simplexity, Telarus, Packet8, Lingo, Pioneer Telephone, TCI, and PowerNet Global,. Our operations are, in large part, dependent on our
continued affiliation with the third-party providers of the products and services that our independent agents sell.
Commission River
In November 2007, we acquired the assets of Commission River, Inc., an online marketing and distribution platform company. Using the marketing platform and programs we acquired from Commission River, Inc., we transitioned our marketing strategy to utilize the Commission River platform to promote
and sell products and services online for third party product vendors who want to build brand awareness, generate sales leads, and expand their customer reach. We believe the Commission River platform makes it easier for product vendors to access and manage multiple marketing channels and product distribution points online by using our marketing platform. The founders of Commission River, Inc., are now the executives of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Commission River Corporation (“Commission River”
or “CR”), and continue to manage and direct Commission River’s business, which now also includes our historic business, such that all of our current business operations are conducted through Commission River.
Strategy to add Additional Business – Oil and Gas Line of Business
Recently, we decided to move forward with a strategy that includes oil and gas development and exploration and the acquisition of reserves in Eastern Utah. The Board and Management have examined many opportunities to build a valuable, growing, and long term asset base. We have chosen this
strategy for Bayhill because we see a compelling mix of internal and external factors that are particularly suitable for a small public company like Bayhill. We have signed Letters of Intent (“LOIs”) to acquire over 12,600 gross acres of oil and gas leases and to consolidate the operations of several entities in order to pool their proven and possible reserves to create significant revenues and increase operating efficiencies. Following these acquisitions, we will have approximately 27 million shares
of common stock issued and outstanding. Our five new shareholders will own approximately 23.3 million shares or 86% of the outstanding stock of the Company.
Discontinued Operations
Cognigen Business Systems, Inc.
On September 14, 2007, we sold Cognigen Business Systems, Inc. (“CBSi”). See also Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Discontinued Operations,” set forth in Item 8 of this report, for additional information regarding CBSi
Revenue Concentration
Commission River’s commission revenue from our two largest vendors generated approximately 61% and 60%, respectively, of our total revenue for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Of the above percentages, 47% and 45% of our revenue respectively, were generated from Telarus which is owned by two executive officers of Commission River.
Our vendor arrangements are generally cancelable by our vendors on short-term notice. Our loss of a significant amount of business with either of our two largest vendors, or the collective loss of a substantial amount of business with our other vendors, would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations. In addition, our future revenue growth is largely dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional vendors and to generate additional revenues from existing vendors.
Competition
In our Commission River business we compete with all of the companies for whom we sell products as an agent, with a number of companies that are network marketing telecommunication companies, and with outside vendors who sell telecommunications, personal communications and other products directly and over the Internet.
Competitors and alternatives in the market for Internet merchandising and distribution come from several different established fronts. As the adoption of third party selling models continues to increase, we anticipate new competitors will enter the market.
Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater selling and marketing, technical, financial, customer support, professional services and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of
their products. Moreover, our competitors may foresee the course of market developments more accurately than we do and could develop new technologies that would compete with us or even render our services obsolete. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make the investments or achieve the technological advances necessary to compete successfully with existing or new competitors. In addition, due to the rapidly evolving markets in which we compete, additional competitors with significant market presence
and financial resources, including large telecommunications companies, may enter the markets in which we compete, thereby further intensifying competition.
The markets in which we compete are characterized by increasing consolidation. We cannot predict how industry consolidation will affect our competitors and we may not be able to compete successfully in an increasingly consolidating industry. Additionally, because we may be dependent on strategic relationships with third parties in our industry,
any consolidation involving these parties could reduce the demand for our products and otherwise harm our business prospects. Our competitors that have large market capitalizations or cash reserves are also better positioned than we are to acquire other companies, including our competitors, thereby obtaining new technologies or products that may displace our product lines. Any of these acquisitions could give our competitors a strategic advantage that would materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, many of our competitors have much greater name recognition and have a more extensive customer base, broader customer relationships, significant financing programs, and broader product offerings than we do. These companies could adopt aggressive pricing policies and leverage their customer bases and broader product offerings to
gain market share.
Competitive pressures could result in price reductions, reduced margin and loss of market share, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Technology and Intellectual Property
On November 30, 2007, we acquired the assets of Commission River, Inc. in an asset purchase transaction. The assets acquired consisted of intellectual property valued at $400,000 and employment and non-compete agreements valued at $400,000. We amortize these intangible assets over their estimated useful lives of three years on a straight-line
basis. See also Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” set forth in Item 8 of this report for additional information.
Regulation
We had been authorized pursuant to authority of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) to operate as an interstate and international resale carrier under Section 214 of the FCC rules. This part of our business has been sold and we no longer operate under these rules. Prior to the sale, we were regulated by various state
public utility commissions as a reseller of interstate and intrastate long distance telecommunications services. In conjunction with the sale of our FCC-regulated operations, we have
surrendered our state Certificates of Convenience and Necessity, in all states, as we are no longer serving as a reseller of regulated telecommunications services
Employees
As of June 30, 2009, we had five full-time employees. In addition, as of June 30, 2009, we engaged five part-time employees. We also engage temporary consultants from time to time. Three of the temporary consultants engaged through June 30, 2009 were employees of Telarus, one of our principal vendors, and their expenses were charged to Commission
River at their fully-burdened rates. Total consulting expenses charged to Commission River, by Telarus, for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, were $8,538 and $79,303. We do not anticipate that we will continue to use consulting support from Telarus.
Item 1A. Risk Factors Related to our Current Business.
The following information sets forth risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this report and those we may make from time to time. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operation, prospects or
financial condition could be harmed. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also affect our business operations.
Cash Flows from Operations May Not be Sufficient to Continue our Operations without Obtaining Additional Working Capital.
We have historically funded our operations primarily from sales of securities from debt financings and from operating cash flows. Cash generated from operations alone has not historically and may not, in the future, be sufficient to fund our operations in the coming fiscal year. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues and cash flow to
fund our operations, our ability to pursue our business plan will be severely limited and we will not be able to continue our anticipated operations unless we are able to obtain additional capital through equity or debt financings. Such additional capital may not be available. Even if it is available, the potential funding sources may require terms and conditions which we cannot satisfy or which may require substantial modifications to our business plan. In addition, if we are able to raise additional funds through
the sale of equity or convertible securities, such financing likely will result in significant dilution of the ownership percentage of existing shareholders.
The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
Our audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report were prepared on the assumption that we will be able to continue our operations as a going concern. In its report on our financial statements dated September 2, 2009, it was noted that we have experienced circumstances
which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate additional revenue from operations or attract additional equity or debt financing, we will likely not be able to continue our operations as a going concern.
Our Revenue and Growth will be Largely Dependent upon Sales Generated by Independent Agents.
We use a network of independent agents and affiliate groups, each utilizing their own customized website to sell third party or outside vendor products and services to customers and subscribers worldwide. As a result, our revenue is dependent on sales generated by our independent agents. Failure of these independent agents to achieve sustained
sales or to grow their sales, or our inability to attract and retain independent producing agents with an appropriate commission structure, will materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We Have a History of Losses and May Continue to Experience Losses.
We have historically experienced net losses. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we had net losses of $476,338 and $2,381,891, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $16,801,690 and $16,325,352. We will likely continue to incur net losses unless we
are able to attract additional independent marketing agents or affiliate groups or dramatically increase the revenues we generate from our existing agent network. We can give no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitable operations or that, if we achieve profitability, we will be able to maintain profitable operations.
We Market Products and Services of Third Party Vendors; However those Vendors are Under No Long-Term Obligation to Continue to Allow us to Market and Sell Their Products or Services.
A material portion of our revenue results from the sale and marketing of the products of third party vendors who own and control the rights to market and sell their products and services. Our ability to offer these products and services is dependent on our agreements with such vendors being renewed and not terminated. The non-renewal or termination
of a substantial number of these agreements would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In general, our vendors can cancel their contracts on short notice. It can take a significant amount of time to develop and obtain new vendors. Thus, the loss of any of our key vendors could have a significant effect on our revenues and cash flow. In addition, our future revenue growth is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain additional
vendors and to generate additional revenues through our existing vendors.
We Rely on Innovative Technology to Enable and Support the Marketing of Products and Services by our Independent Agents.
We use proprietary self-replicating web page technology to run our web-based operations. If another technology becomes the preferred industry standard, we may be at a competitive disadvantage which, in turn, may require us to make changes at substantially increased costs or could substantially disrupt our operations. If our technology becomes
obsolete at some time in the future and we are unable to develop or change to an alternate technology in a cost-effective manner, it could materially adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations.
The Traditional Markets in which we Compete are Marked by High Customer Turnover and Intense Competition.
The industries in which our independent agents traditionally resell have experienced high rates of customer turnover. The high rate of customer turnover is attributable to several factors including the non-use of customer contracts, pricing competition and customer care concerns. Our strategy to address customer turnover may not be successful
or the rate of customer turnover may be unacceptable. Price competition and other competitive factors could also cause increased customer turnover. A high rate of customer turnover could have a material adverse affect on our competitive position and results of operations or cause significant fluctuation in our results of operations from period to period.
Our Products and Services are Characterized by Consumer Tastes and Trends, Product Mix, and Technological Changes.
We are a multifaceted sales and marketing organization that utilizes the Internet as a platform to provide our customers and subscribers with a variety of telecommunications and technology-based products and services in markets that are characterized by high rates of customer turnover, shortening product life cycles, and rapid changes in
technology and customer preferences. If we are unable to accurately forecast customer preferences and demands or market and technological trends and transitions, or if we are unable to add new products and services that generate increased sales to our offered product and services mix, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
An Active Trading Market for our Securities has Not Developed and the Price of our Securities may be Volatile.
An active sustained trading market for our securities has not developed. As a result of our common stock not being quoted on a national exchange, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we are subject to rules promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission which impose various sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our common stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker/dealer has to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transactions prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may have an adverse effect on the ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock, which may
affect the ability of purchasers to sell our common stock in the open market. The price at which our securities trade is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, those discussed in the other risk factors described herein and the following:
|
· |
volatility in stock market prices and volumes, which is particularly common among smaller companies; |
|
· |
lack of research coverage for companies with small public floats; |
|
· |
failure to achieve sustainable financial performance; |
|
· |
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
|
· |
announcements of technological innovations by us or others; |
|
· |
entry of new or more powerful competitors into our markets or consolidation of existing competitors to create larger, more formidable competitors; |
|
· |
terrorist attacks either in the US or abroad; |
|
· |
general stock market conditions; and |
|
· |
the general state of the US and world economies. |
We do not Intend to Pay Dividends and You May Not Experience a Return on Investment Without Selling Your Securities.
We have never declared or paid, nor do we intend in the foreseeable future to declare or pay, any cash dividends on our common stock. Since we intend to retain all future earnings to finance the operation and growth of our business, you will likely need to sell your securities in order to realize a return on your investment, if any.
Our Executives are Part-Time Employees and Have Other Interests.
The executive officers of Commission River are also owners and executives of Telarus, which is engaged in a business similar to our business. The part-time nature of our executives may not be sufficient to accomplish the strategies and initiatives necessary for our successful execution of our business plan. The similar nature of the business
of Telarus and its ownership by two of our executives could create conflicts of interest which may not be in the best interest of BHCC.
Risk Factors for our Potential New Business
The following information sets forth potential risk factors that we would face if, in fact, we succeed in our intentions of entering into the oil and gas business. These additional risk factors, together with the above risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking
statements we have made in this report and those we may make from time to time. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operation, prospects or financial condition could be harmed. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also affect our business operations.
Oil and natural gas prices are volatile, and declines in prices may adversely affect our profitability, financial condition, cash flows, access to capital, and ability to grow.
Our revenues, operating results, profitability, future rate of growth, and the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties will depend heavily on the prices we receive for oil and natural gas sales. Oil and natural gas prices will also affect our cash flows available for capital expenditures and other items, our borrowing capacity, and
the amount and value of our oil and natural gas reserves.
Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Wide fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices may result from relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty, and other factors that are beyond our control, including:
|
· |
Global and domestic supplies of oil and natural gas, and the productive capacity of the industry as a whole |
|
|
|
· |
The level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas |
|
|
|
· |
Overall global and domestic economic conditions |
|
|
|
· |
Weather conditions |
|
· |
The availability and capacity of transportation or refining facilities in regional or localized areas that may affect the realized price for oil or natural gas |
|
|
|
· |
The price and level of foreign imports of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and liquefied natural gas |
|
|
|
· |
The price and availability of alternative fuels |
|
|
|
· |
Technological advances affecting energy consumption |
|
|
|
· |
The ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls |
|
|
|
· |
Political instability or armed conflict in oil or natural gas producing regions |
|
|
|
· |
Governmental regulations and taxes. |
|
|
These factors and the volatility of oil and natural gas markets make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil or natural gas prices would reduce our revenues and could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically, which could have a materially
adverse effect on us.
The current economic and financial crisis may have impacts on our business that we cannot predict.
The continued economic downturn and credit related turmoil in the global and domestic financial systems may have an impact on our oil and gas business, and we may face challenges if economic and credit conditions do not improve. The recent general economic slowdown has affected the demand for oil and natural gas and may negatively impact
our planned operating cash flows and may ultimately affect our access to the capital markets.
If we are not able to replace reserves, we will not be able to sustain production.
Our future operations depend on our ability to find, develop, or acquire oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable. The properties we propose to acquire and operate may produce oil and natural gas at a declining rate over time. In order to maintain current production rates, we must further develop the properties we have
proposed to acquire and/or we must acquire new oil and natural gas reserves to replace those being depleted by production. In addition, competition for the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties is intense and many of our competitors have financial and other resources needed to evaluate and integrate acquisitions that are substantially greater than those available to us. Therefore, we may not be able to acquire oil and natural gas properties that contain economically recoverable reserves, or
we may not be able to acquire such properties at prices acceptable to us. Without successful drilling or acquisition activities, our reserves, production, and revenues will decline over time.
Substantial capital is required to operate in the oil and gas business.
If and when we enter the oil and gas business, we may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to find, acquire, develop, and produce oil and natural gas reserves. Future cash flows and the availability of financing are subject to a number of factors, such as the level of production from existing wells, prices received for oil
and natural gas sales, our success in locating and acquiring new reserves, and the orderly functioning of credit and capital markets. If we encounter operating difficulties that result in our cash flows from operations being less than expected, we would be required to reduce our capital expenditures unless we can raise additional funds through debt or equity financing or the divestment of assets. Debt or equity financing may not always be available to us in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, and the proceeds
offered to us for potential divestitures may not always be of acceptable value to us.
When our revenues decrease due to lower oil or natural gas prices, decreased production, or other reasons, and if we cannot obtain capital through acceptable debt or equity financing arrangements, or the sale of non-core assets, our ability to execute development plans, replace our reserves, or maintain production levels could be greatly
limited.
The debt and equity financing markets are currently very constrained due to the global and domestic economic and financial crisis. Continued adverse conditions in the credit markets may increase the cost of borrowings and decrease our ability to access new sources of capital.
Competition in the oil and gas business is intense, and many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, and human resources than we do.
We face intense competition from major oil companies, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, financial buyers, and institutional and individual investors who seek oil and natural gas property investments throughout the world, as well as the equipment, expertise, labor, and materials required to operate oil and
natural gas properties. Many of our competitors have financial, technical, and other resources vastly exceeding those available to us, and many oil and natural gas properties are sold in a competitive bidding process in which our competitors may be able and willing to pay more for development prospects and productive properties, or in which our competitors have technological information or expertise that is not available to us to evaluate and successfully bid for the properties. In addition, shortages of equipment,
labor, or materials as a result of intense competition may result in increased costs or the inability to obtain those resources as needed. We may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition.
We must also compete for human resources. Over the last few years, the need for talented people across all disciplines in the oil and gas industry has grown, while the number of people available has been constrained.
Our property acquisitions may not be worth what we paid due to uncertainties in evaluating recoverable reserves and other expected benefits, as well as potential liabilities.
Successful property acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors beyond our control. These factors include exploration potential, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, and potential environmental and other liabilities. These assessments are not precise and their accuracy is inherently uncertain.
In addition, significant acquisitions can change the nature of our operations and business if the acquired properties have substantially different operating and geological characteristics or are in different geographic locations than our first proposed properties in Eastern Utah.
Integrating acquired properties and businesses involves a number of other special risks, including the risk that management may be distracted from normal business concerns by the need to integrate operations and systems as well as retain and assimilate additional employees. Therefore, we may not be able to realize all of the anticipated benefits
of our first proposed acquisitions or any subsequent acquisitions.
Exploration and development drilling may not result in commercially productive reserves.
Oil and natural gas drilling and production activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas will be found. The cost of drilling and completing wells is often uncertain, and oil
and natural gas drilling and production activities may be shortened, delayed, or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
· Unexpected drilling conditions
· Title problems
· Pressure or geologic irregularities in formations
· Equipment failures or accidents
· Adverse weather conditions
· Compliance with environmental and other governmental requirements
|
· |
Shortages or delays in the availability of or increases in the cost of drilling rigs and crews, fracture stimulation crews and equipment, chemicals, and supplies. |
The prevailing prices of oil and natural gas affect the cost of and the demand for drilling rigs, production equipment, and related services. However, changes in costs may not occur simultaneously with corresponding changes in prices. The availability of drilling rigs can vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. Although
land drilling rigs can be moved from one region to another in response to changes in levels of demand, an undersupply of rigs in any region may result in drilling delays and higher drilling costs for the rigs that are available in that region. In addition, the current economic and financial downturn may adversely affect the financial condition of some drilling contractors, which may constrain the availability of drilling services in some areas.
Another significant risk inherent in our drilling plans is the need to obtain drilling permits from state, local, and other governmental authorities. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and drilling permits, including delays which jeopardize our ability to realize the potential benefits from leased properties within the applicable lease
periods, the failure to obtain a drilling permit for a well, or the receipt of a permit with unreasonable conditions or costs could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to explore on or develop our first proposed properties in Eastern Utah or any subsequent acquisitions.
The wells we may drill may not be productive and we may not recover all or any portion of our investment in such wells. The seismic data and other technologies we use do not allow us to know conclusively prior to drilling a well if oil or natural gas is present, or whether it can be produced economically. The cost of drilling, completing,
and operating a well is often uncertain, and cost factors can adversely affect the economics of a project. Drilling activities can result in dry holes or wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues after operating and other costs to cover initial drilling and completion costs.
Future oil and natural gas price declines or unsuccessful exploration efforts may result in write-downs of the carrying values of the initial properties we propose to acquire in Eastern Utah.
We expect to follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and natural gas properties. Under this approach, we expect that all property acquisition costs and costs of exploratory and development wells would be capitalized when incurred, pending the determination of whether proved reserves have been discovered. If proved reserves
are not discovered with an exploratory well, the costs of drilling the well would be expensed.
We expect that the capitalized costs of our oil and natural gas properties cannot exceed the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of the applicable field. If net capitalized costs exceed undiscounted future net revenues, we must write down the costs of each such field to our estimate of its fair value. We expect that unproved properties
will be evaluated at the lower of cost or fair value. Significant declines in oil or natural gas prices in the future or unsuccessful exploration efforts could cause further impairment write-downs of capitalized costs.
We expect that our oil and gas business will be subject to operating and environmental risks and hazards that could result in substantial losses.
Oil and natural gas operations are subject to many risks, including well blowouts, craterings, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, or well fluids, fires, adverse weather, freezing conditions, formations with abnormal pressures, pipeline ruptures or spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas, and other environmental risks
and hazards. If any of these types of events occurs, we could sustain substantial losses.
Under certain limited circumstances we may be liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners or operators of properties that we own, lease, or operate. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities which could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development, or acquisitions,
or cause us to incur losses.
We expect to maintain some limited level of insurance against some, but not all, of these potential risks and losses, but insurance is costly and we may have inadequate insurance. We do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability that could be caused by sudden environmental damages or insurance coverage for environmental
damage that occurs over time is available at a reasonable cost. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. Further, we may elect not to obtain other insurance coverage under circumstances where we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. Accordingly, we may be subject to liability or may lose substantial portions of certain properties in the event of environmental or other damages. If a significant accident or other event
were to occur and if it were not fully covered by insurance, we could suffer a material loss.
Our proposed oil and gas operations would be subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental regulations that result in substantial costs and other risks.
Federal, state, and local authorities extensively regulate the oil and natural gas industry. Legislation and regulations affecting the industry are under constant review for amendment or expansion, raising the possibility of changes that may
affect, among other things, the pricing or marketing of oil and natural gas production. Noncompliance with statutes and regulations may lead to substantial penalties and the overall regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and, in turn, decreases profitability.
Governmental authorities regulate various aspects of oil and natural gas drilling and production, including the drilling of wells (through permit and bonding requirements), the spacing of wells, the unitization or pooling of interests in oil and natural gas properties, environmental matters, safety standards, the sharing of markets, production
limitations, plugging and abandonment standards, and restoration. Under limited circumstances, federal authorities may require any of our ongoing or planned operations on federal leases to be delayed, suspended, or terminated. Any such delay, suspension, or termination could have a materially adverse effect on our operations.
Our initial proposed operations in Eastern Utah may be subject to complex and constantly changing environmental laws and regulations adopted by federal, state, and local governmental. New laws or regulations, or changes to current requirements, could result in material costs or claims with respect to properties we own or have owned. We expect
to continue to be subject to uncertainty associated with new regulatory interpretations and inconsistent interpretations between state and federal agencies. Under existing or future environmental laws and regulations, we could face significant liability to governmental authorities and third parties, including joint and several as well as strict liability, for discharges of oil, natural gas, or other pollutants into the air, soil, or water, and we could be required to spend substantial amounts on investigations,
litigation, and remediation. Existing environmental laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or enforced, or as they may be interpreted, enforced, or altered in the future, may have a materially adverse effect on us.
Possible regulations related to global warming and climate change could have an adverse effect on our operations and the demand for oil and natural gas.
Recent scientific studies have suggested that emissions of certain gases, commonly referred to as “greenhouse gases,” may be contributing to the warming of the Earth’s atmosphere. Methane, a primary component of natural gas, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of refined oil products and natural gas, are examples
of greenhouse gases. The U.S. Congress is considering climate-related legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. In addition, we are advised that several states in the West have developed initiatives to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emissions inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is separately considering whether it will regulate greenhouse gases as “air pollutants”
under the existing federal Clean Air Act. Passage of climate change legislation or other regulatory initiatives by Congress or various states or the adoption of regulations by the EPA or analogous state agencies that regulate or restrict emissions of greenhouse gases, including methane or carbon dioxide, in areas in which we expect initially to conduct our oil and gas business could have an adverse effect our operations and the demand for oil and natural gas.
We expect that our proposed oil and gas business will depend on transportation facilities owned by others.
We expect that the marketability of our initial proposed oil and natural gas production depends in part on the availability, proximity, and capacity of pipeline transportation systems owned by third parties. The lack of available transportation capacity on
these systems and facilities could result in the shutting-in of producing wells, the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties, or lower price realizations. Federal and state regulation of oil and natural gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand, pipeline pressures, damage to
or destruction of pipelines, and general economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to produce, gather, and transport oil and natural gas.
The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which may result in losses for investors.
We expect our stock to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include:
|
· |
Changes in oil or natural gas prices |
|
· |
Variations in quarterly drilling, recompletions, acquisitions, and operating results |
|
· |
Changes in financial estimates by securities analysts |
|
· |
Changes in market valuations of comparable companies |
|
· |
Additions or departures of key personnel |
|
· |
Future sales of our common stock |
|
· |
Changes in the national and global economic outlook. |
We may fail to meet expectations of our stockholders and/or of securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock price could decline as a result.

Item 2. Properties.
We currently lease approximately 160 square feet of furnished space at 10757 S. Riverfront Parkway, Suite 125, South Jordan, Utah, on a month to month basis at approximately $1,100 per month.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time we may become subject to certain legal proceedings which we consider routine to our business activities. As of June 30, 2009, we were not engaged in any legal proceedings which our management believed were likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.

Historically, our common stock has not traded in high volumes. An active or liquid trading market in our common stock may not develop or, if it does develop, it may not continue.
The market price for our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors, or our failure to achieve operating results consistent with securities analysts’ projections of
our performance.
The securities markets for developing companies like BHCC have been characterized by extreme price and volume fluctuations and volatility. Such fluctuations and volatility have affected the market price of many emerging growth and development stage companies. Such fluctuations and volatility have often been unrelated or disproportionate to
the operating performance of such companies. Factors such as announcements of the introduction of new or enhanced services or related products by us or our competition, announcements of joint development efforts or corporate partnerships in the telecommunications market, market conditions in the technology, telecommunications and other emerging growth sectors or rumors relating to us or our competitors may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2009, there were approximately 290 holders of record of our common stock. The number of holders of record does not include holders whose securities are held in street name.
We have never paid and do not, in the foreseeable future, anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our business operations and in the expansion of our business.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Overview – Current Business
Over the past ten years, our subsidiary, Commission River has established itself as a leading affiliate marketing company focused almost exclusively on telecommunications products and services. We have developed an alternate marketing channel for communications vendors giving them an online
presence to generate leads and sales for these vendors. We have developed a specialized affiliate marketing platform comprised of technologies, programs, and services such as: marketing tools, training and sales tracking that gives us and our online marketing partners (e.g., affiliate marketers) the ability to drive leads using blogs, paid search, and organic search engine optimization techniques. We also create software designed to enable affiliates to coordinate and share ideas with each other in a close-knit
on-line community whose emphasis is on mutual success.
We are now positioning Commission River’s operations to expand into additional vertical markets. We believe this repositioning will enable us to transition from Commission River’s specialization in telecommunication products and services to become a specialty affiliate marketing company for a broader range of products and services.
Our vision is to provide affiliate distribution channels to companies seeking to develop their online marketing presence and sales. We believe our focus on specific verticals will allow us to create specialized tools and marketing methods for affiliates that may result in increased online exposure and sales for our vendors.
Overview – Proposed Oil and Gas Business
On June 9, 2009, we announced that we entered into non-binding letters of intent under which we propose to acquire up to 12,600 gross acres of oil and gas leases in Eastern Utah. A copy of the press release was filed under Form 8-K on July 9, 2009 and is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.35. Following is an additional general
statement of the Company’s plan of operations for such possible new business. Refer to the foregoing for more details.
We will need to raise additional capital. We plan to issue additional shares of common stock for such purpose in one or more private placement financing or public financing rounds. This may result in the possible issuance of several million additional shares of BHCC common stock. We can give no assurance that this money can be raised at the
prices we propose or at any price. Without this additional funding we may not be able to close the proposed lease acquisitions and/or to operate the leases even if acquired.
Under our oil and gas strategy we will need to drill additional oil and gas wells, some of which will be deemed exploratory. We may drill wells on leases with proven reserves and/or on leases with possible but unproven reserves. We can give no assurances that such drilling programs will be successful, that we will discover and/or produce
any additional oil or gas reserves, or that we can operate the leases profitably and with positive cash flow.
Our CEO has experience in the oil and gas business. We expect to engage additional employees and/or consultants, which will be a material increase to our present staff and increase operating overhead substantially The additional revenues generated by the oil and gas operations may not be sufficient to cover these increases in costs.
This proposed oil and gas business presents many risks and uncertainties to the Company and to its shareholders. Some of these risks and uncertainties are unknown. A general statement of our oil and gas risk factors is presented above.
Year Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2008
Total revenue for 2009 was $2,963,188 compared to $4,122,517 for 2008. This represents a decrease of $1,159,329 from that of 2008, or 28%. This decrease reflects decreases in sales of long distance products and cell phones as well as the loss of residual commission payments from several companies that have ceased to pay commissions.
Marketing commissions expense decreased from $2,671,217 for 2008 to $1,900,523 for 2009, a decrease of $770,694, or 29%. This decrease correlates to a decrease in marketing commissions revenue explained above. The higher percentage decrease in marketing commissions expense compared to marketing commissions revenue was attributable to a change
in product mix between the periods and a change in the commission override structure to certain Independent master sales agents.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2,006,785 or 63% for 2009 compared to 2008. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in expenses relating to restructure activities that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2008. In addition we experienced fewer bad debts related to non-payment from customers during
the year ended June 30, 2009.
Interest expense for 2009 of $67,660 was lower than the $461,721 for 2008 due primarily to beneficial conversion features of approximately $266,000 relating to convertible promissory notes and short term loans recorded during 2008. The notes and short term loans were subsequently paid or converted to shares of our common stock and are
reflected in our consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit for the period ending June 30, 2009.
The decrease of $44,590 in the loss from discontinued operations from 2008 to 2009 reflects that the operations of the discontinued businesses were concluded in the early part of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
Seasonality and Economic Conditions
We do not believe that our current revenue is affected by seasons of the year.
Inflation and recession
The recession during the past two years may have added to the decrease in revenues from the year ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the revenues for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows generated from operations, advances pursuant to our financing arrangements and cash from the issuance of notes payable to Robert K. Bench and James U. Jensen, an executive officer and board chairman, respectively, were sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the year ended June 30, 2009, but will not likely be sufficient
to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future or provide for expansion opportunities. We incurred $476,338 in losses from continuing operations, and we generated $3,601 in cash flows from operations for the year ended June 30, 2009. Net cash generated from financing arrangements for the year ended June 30, 2009 was $65,886. As of June 30, 2009, our current liabilities of $902,811 exceeded our current assets of $464,034 by $438,777. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we settled outstanding accounts payable and accrued liabilities to vendors and service providers for savings to the Company of $18,320, in addition we wrote off $27,557 of accounts payable that we either disputed or had no documentation of delivery of good or services relating to the amounts outstanding. These
amounts are included in Other Income in our Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2009.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we obtained advances of $150,000 in cash funds for use as working capital as follows: (a) $100,000 from Little Hollow Farms, Inc., a company that is affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, (b) $25,000 from Vector Capital, a company that is affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, and (c)
$25,000 from James U. Jensen, chairman of our board of directors. These advances, together with accrued interest, were converted into 404,351 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable documents. See also, Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stockholders Equity” for additional information regarding the issuance of such shares of our common stock.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, BayHill Capital, LC, an entity which is affiliated with two of our executive officers, and Vector Capital LLC, an entity which is affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, extended to us a series of loans in the form of short-term and convertible notes in the amount of $695,000. All of these
notes, together with $250,000 of notes outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and accrued interest, were converted into 744,330 shares of our common stock in multiple transactions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the applicable documents. See also, Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Stockholders’ Equity” for additional information regarding the issuance of such shares of our common stock.
In order for us to continue as a going concern, we hope to obtain additional debt or equity financing, increase revenues, and increase cash flows from operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity financing, that we will be able to increase revenues or cash flows from our operations, or
that, if we are successful in any of those actions, those actions will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations or to be able to expand. All of our existing financing arrangements are short-term. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.
Financing Arrangements
As of June 30, 2009, our third-party financing arrangements consisted of the following:
Note Payable to Cardelco |
$4,000 |
Secured Term Loan with VenCore Solutions, Inc.
At June 30, 2009 we had no further obligations to VenCore Solutions, Inc. (“VenCore”). See also Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Financing Arrangements” set forth in Item 8 of this report for additional information regarding the VenCore transactions.
The following paragraph describes the history of our financial relations with VenCore.
On October 10, 2006, we entered into an agreement with VenCore to borrow $250,000 under a term loan to be repaid by making monthly payments of $9,000, which included interest at 16.7% per annum. The loan was fully amortizable over 36 months. The
loan documents contained certain covenants, which included the requirement of VenCore’s approval of the disposition of any of our material assets, a prohibition against our incurrence of additional liens on our assets or the change of creditors. As part of our agreement with VenCore, we issued to VenCore warrants to purchase 1,500 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $5,093. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 per share and are exercisable for up to seven years from date of grant. We
granted VenCore a lien on substantially all of our assets. We also paid to VenCore commitment and documentation fees of $5,500. These fees were amortized over three years as an adjustment to interest expense. As of June 30, 2008 the remaining principal and accrued interest balance was $166,614. In July 2008 we entered in to a “Payment Restructure Agreement” with VenCore whereby VenCore converted $83,500 of the term loan into an unsecured 12% convertible note due September 30, 2009 which was convertible,
at the option of VenCore, into no more than 66,800 shares of our common stock. In addition, VenCore was granted a two-year warrant to purchase 20,875 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The remaining original note balance of $83,321, along with interest at 16.7%, is to be paid in monthly payments of an amount equal to the greater of $5,000 per month or 10% of any debt or equity funding we receive in any given month. We paid VenCore $1,000 for documentation fees in relation to the Payment
Restructure Agreement, which was expensed. During the year ended June 30, 2009 the conversion feature within this convertible promissory note and warrants resulted in the Company recording a beneficial conversion feature of $13,058 and an increase to debt discount, which was recorded as interest expense. In April 2009, when the balance of the original note was $65,000 and the balance on the convertible note was $91,015, we entered into a settlement agreement
with VenCore whereby we paid to VenCore $65,000 and issued to them 98,307 unregistered shares of our common stock in full settlement of all obligations and for their cancellation of all warrants. As the common stock was trading at $0.51 per share on the settlement date, the Company recognized a $40,878 gain on conversion of debt which is included in Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2009 we have no further obligations to VenCore.
Note Payable to Cardelco
As of June 30, 2009, we were in default and $4,000 remained unpaid on our short-term promissory note with Cardelco, LLC (“Cardelco”). See also Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Financing Arrangements” set forth in Item 8 of this report for additional information
regarding the Cardelco transactions. The following paragraph describes the history of our financial relations with Cardelco.
On December 31, 2007, we entered into a short-term promissory note with Cardelco in the amount of $25,000. The note obligated us to make payments in the amount of $5,000 per month starting February 1, 2008 until fully paid. The note did not bear interest unless default occurred, at which time
interest would accrue at 10% per annum. This note was part of a lease termination agreement we executed with Cardelco relating to a lease for office space in San Diego, California. The termination agreement consisted of paying $45,000 to Cardelco, $20,000 of which was paid upon agreeing to the termination agreement and $25,000 was paid in form of a short-term promissory note.
Receivables Purchase Agreement
On May 12, 2008, we repaid the full amount owing to Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Receivables Purchase Agreement was terminated. See also Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Financing Arrangements” set forth in Item 8 of this report, for additional information on the
Receivables Purchase Agreement.
Commissions Payable-Interest Bearing
As part of verbal agreements with certain of our independent marketing agents, we periodically place commissions payable on a deferred payment schedule. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 we had placed $276,065 and $200,000, respectively, of commissions payable on a deferred payment schedule with interest accumulating at a rate of 10% per annum.
These independent marketing agents have agreed to allow us to retain accrued commissions that normally would have been paid to them and use those amounts for our working capital purposes. We have verbally agreed to repay these commissions plus interest when requested by the participating independent agents. Accrued interest expense, relating to these commissions payable, as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $14,383 and
$2,180 respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies – Current Business
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results will differ, and could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the accurate portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Our critical accounting policies are as follows:
|
· |
marketing commissions receivable; |
|
· |
valuation of long-lived assets; |
|
· |
commissions payable; and |
|
· |
revenue recognition. |
|
· |
share-based compensation expense |
Marketing Commissions Receivable
Marketing commissions receivable represent amounts due from outside vendors of telecommunication products . Typically outside vendors pay commissions due to us 45 to 60 days after the usage month-end. As indicated below, we recognize these commissions receivable at the time they are earned. Marketing commissions receivable balance at June
30, 2009 and 2008 was $395,087 and $437,752 respectively, net of allowance for bad debt of $29,661 and $164,604 for the years ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Our intangible assets consist of intellectual property and employment and non-compete agreements relating to the acquisition of the assets of Commission River, Inc. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based upon the lower of discounted future cash flow projections or the amount paid in an arm’s length transaction.
These intangible assets have been and are being amortized over 3 years on a straight-line basis. Amortization expense totaled $274,952 and $155,554 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The remaining useful life of the intangible assets was 17 months as of June 30, 2009.
We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets and review these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The determination of impairment is based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows over the remaining economic
life of the related asset. If an intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment will be equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. Given the adverse financial market conditions, the current and projected economic conditions, and the decrease in revenues and cash flows experience by our business, we evaluated the recoverability of the Intangible Assets at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying value of the
Employee and non-compete agreements was greater than the fair value which was determined by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows generated by the Employee and non-compete agreements over the remaining life of the related contracts. As a result of this evaluation, we impaired $188,891, which was the entire remaining balance of the Intangible Assets relating to the Employment and non-compete agreements. The impairment takes into account management’s projection that undiscounted cash flows
generated by the business over the remaining life of the employment and non-compete agreements were not sufficient to cover any carrying value for these Intangible Assets.
Commissions Payable
Commissions payable represent amounts due to independent agents for commissions related to the usage or sales for which we are due marketing commissions revenue from our outside vendors. It is our policy to pay commissions to our independent agents only after receiving commissions due from our outside vendors, although we book the obligation
to pay such commissions at the time of the sale. This policy results in approximately two months of commissions payable being included in the balance at any point in time.
Revenue Recognition
Marketing commissions revenue is recognized at the time the customer has been accepted by the vendor and/or received the product from the vendor or is under contract with the vendor and receiving the services. In those cases where services continue over
future periods, revenue is recognized when delivery of the service to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection by the vendor from the customer has been made or is probable and the vendor payment of commissions to us is probable.
Management has determined that the Company is acting as a principal under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 99-19, Reporting revenue gross as a participant versus net as an agent, and as such, recorded the marketing commission revenue and expense
on a gross basis. This is principally due to the Company maintaining the credit risk with the independent agents.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards
(including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included the cost for options
which were granted prior to January 1, 2007, as determined under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. See Note 6 below.
The Company records compensation expense related to non-employees under the provisions of SFAS 123R and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services ("EITF 96-18"), and recognizes compensation expenses over the vesting period
of such awards.
Critical Accounting Policies – Proposed Oil and Gas Business
We are now considering, but have not yet established any critical accounting policies for the proposed oil and gas business.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, recognizes
and measures the goodwill acquired in a business combination, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. Our adoption of SFAS No. 141R related to our proposed entry into the oil and gas business may have a material impact on our 2010 consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling ownership interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity,
not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. In addition, it requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the statement of operations. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect our adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on our 2010 consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This standard applies to derivative instruments, nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as
hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133. It does not change the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities, but requires enhanced disclosures concerning the effect on the financial statements from their use. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, we do not have any instruments that would be impacted by this standard.
In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency
between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure such asset’s fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact, if any, of FSP 142-3 on its financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument
(or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF No. 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all of the characteristics of a derivative or freestanding instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock. To meet the definition of “indexed to own stock,” an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions must not be based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for the issuer’s stock (if
applicable), or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to the issuer’s own operations, and the variables that could affect the settlement amount must be inputs to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” forward or option on equity shares. EITF No. 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF 07-5
on our financial position and results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). This standard requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were
available to be issued. This standard is not expected to result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in its financial statements. The provisions for SFAS 165 were effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard on June 30, 2009, and the impact of the adoption was not significant. Subsequent events through September 2, 2009 were evaluated.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (year ending June 30, 2010 for the Company).

We do not have any transactions, obligations, or relationships that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
BayHill Capital Corporation
South Jordan, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BayHill Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that 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 BayHill Capital Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced circumstances which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding
those matters also are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Immediately following the repurchase of these common shares, we cancelled such shares which we deemed to have a net value of $42,984. (See Note 2 to these consolidated
financial statements.)
On December 31, 2007, we entered into a lease termination agreement with an unrelated third party, pursuant to which we agreed to pay to the landlord $45,000 (See Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements).
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BayHill Capital Corporation (“we”, “us”, “Company” or “BHCC”), formerly Cognigen Networks, Inc., was incorporated in May 1983 in the State of Colorado. We market and sell services and products through independent commission-based marketing agents
who use the Internet as a platform to provide customers and subscribers with a variety of telecommunications and technology-based products and services. Historically, we have generated revenues in two ways:
First, we have generated marketing commission revenues from vendors who are represented on web sites operated by independent agents and for whom we sell products and services via contractual agreements. Generally, we enter into contractual agreements with these vendors, who pay us commissions
based on the volume of products and services sold by our independent sales agents. We then pay a portion of those commission revenues to the independent sales agents responsible for making the sales upon which the commissions were based. A significant portion of our commission revenues is attributable to the sale of domestic long distance services and commercial telecommunications services; however, we also generate commission revenues from the sale of wireless communications, residential broadband services,
Voice over Internet (“VoIP”) services and prepaid calling cards/PINs.
Second, we have, at times also generated revenues from sales of proprietary products and services. Generally, we have acquired or developed these proprietary products and services with the intention of marketing such products and services through our independent agent network. These products and services have included long distance telecommunication
services, online shopping websites and broadband voice, data, video and management communication and control support services. Most of these products have been sold by independent agents, and we have generally paid commissions to independent agents based on the dollar volume of products sold. Currently we do not offer any proprietary products or services. We regularly look for opportunities to acquire or develop proprietary products or services. If we identify any proprietary products or services which we believe
we could market profitably, we may offer proprietary products or services in the future.
On March 31, 2008, we held a special meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved a series of proposals previously approved by our Board of Directors. These proposals consisted of (i) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the outstanding shares of our common stock pursuant to which each
50 shares of our pre-split common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the reverse split would be exchanged for one share of our post-split common stock, (ii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 300,000,000 shares, $.001 par value per share, to 100,000,000 shares, $.0001 par value per share, and the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 20,000,000 shares, no par value per share, to 400,000 shares,
$.0001 par value per share, (iii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to BayHill Capital Corporation and make other changes necessary to facilitate the foregoing actions and the reincorporation of BHCC, (iv) a proposal to reincorporate BHCC under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (v) a proposal to adopt the Cognigen Networks, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
Based upon the approval of our shareholders at the March 31, 2008 special meeting, effective April 23, 2008 our management completed the actions necessary to effect the name change, reverse stock split, Delaware reincorporation and reduction in the number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock. Our common stock began trading on
April 23, 2008 on a post-split basis under the symbol "BYHL." All share and per-share amounts reflected in this report have been restated to reflect the 1 for 50 reverse stock split unless otherwise indicated.
Through our network of independent agents, we sell third party or outside vendor products and services, to customers and subscribers worldwide. Long distance and commercial telecommunications services make up the major portion of our sales with wireless communications, residential broadband services, VoIP services, and other products in our
sales mix. As an agent, we have contractual agreements with a variety of product and service vendors that provide us with a commission percentage of any sales made through one of our supported web sites. As agent, we sell the products and services of industry product and service providers such as, AccuLinq, Simplexity, Telarus, Packet8, Lingo, Pioneer Telephone, TCI, and PowerNet Global,. Our operations are, in large part, dependent on our continued affiliation with the third-party providers of the products and
services that our independent agents sell.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued to BayHill Capital, LC, which was managed by two of our executives, 703,930 shares of common stock for conversions of a series of notes. In addition, the Company issued to Commission River, Inc., which is owned by two executives of our wholly owned subsidiary, 320,000 shares of
common stock pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. These shares represented approximately 37% and 17% respectively of the outstanding common stock at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Principles of Consolidation
Our accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BHCC, Commission River and two former subsidiaries, LowestCostMall.com (“LCM”) and Cognigen Business Systems, Inc. (“CBSi”). For purposes of the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
LCM and CBSi have been treated as discontinued operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation (see Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements).
Marketing Commissions Receivable
Marketing commissions receivable represent amounts due from outside vendors of telecommunication products. Typically outside vendors pay commissions due to us 45 to 60 days after the usage month-end.
We established an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2009 to provide for potential uncollectible accounts receivable determined to be uncollectible. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $29,661 and $164,604 respectively.
Commission revenue from our two largest vendors generated approximately 61% and 60%, respectively, of our total revenue for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Of the above percentages, 47% and 45% of our revenue respectively, were generated from Telarus, Inc. which is owned by two executive officers of Commission River.
Intangible Assets
On November 30, 2007, we acquired the assets of Commission River, Inc. in an asset purchase transaction. The assets acquired consisted of intellectual property valued at $400,000 and employment and non-compete agreements valued at $400,000. The net carrying amount and future estimated amortization expense as of June 30, 2009 was as follows:

The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based upon the lower of discounted future cash flow projections or the net intangible balance. These intangible assets have been, and are being, amortized over 3 years on a straight-line basis, since this was the combined time of the employment and non-complete agreements, the software will
have been replaced through attrition, and the marketing value of the Company will have received the benefit from the value of the name. Amortization expense, based on the 3 year straight-line basis totaled $266,664 and $155,554 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted-average remaining useful life of the intangible assets was 17 months as of June 30, 2009.
We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets and review these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The determination of impairment is based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows over the remaining economic
life of the related asset. If an intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment will be equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset shall be its new accounting basis. Given the adverse financial market conditions, the current and projected economic conditions, and the decrease in revenues
and cash flows experience by our business, we evaluated the recoverability of the Intangible Assets at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the carrying value of the Employee and non-compete agreements was greater than the fair value which was determined by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows generated by the Employee and non-compete agreements over the remaining life of the related contracts. As a result of this evaluation, we impaired $188,891, which was the entire
remaining balance of the Intangible Assets relating to the Employment and non-compete agreements and therefore reduced the carrying amount of the asset to $211,109.
The impairment takes into account management’s projection that undiscounted cash flows generated by the business over the remaining life of the employment and non-compete agreements were not sufficient to cover any carrying value for these Intangible Assets.
Commissions Payable
Commissions payable represent amounts due to independent agents for commissions related to the usage or sales for which we are due marketing commissions revenue from its outside vendors. It is our current policy to pay commissions to our independent agents only after receiving commissions due from its outside vendors. This policy results
in approximately two months commission payable at any point in time.
Share-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards
(including stock options) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included the cost for options
which were granted prior to January 1, 2007, as determined under the provisions of SFAS No. 123. See Note 6 below.
The Company records compensation expense related to non-employees under the provisions of SFAS 123R and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services ("EITF 96-18"), and recognizes compensation expenses over the vesting period
of such awards.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We analyze convertible debentures under the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, (“EITF
00-19”) and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 05-02, Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument” in Issue No. 00-19, (“EITF 05-02”) and review the appropriate classification under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (“SFAS 133”), and EITF
00-19.
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity
instruments, we may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and the freestanding warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments, may be subject to registration rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a defined date. These potential penalties are accounted
for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, (“SFAS 5”).
When the embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument is not required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument, we review the terms of the instrument to determine whether it is necessary to record a beneficial conversion feature, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-05, Accounting
for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, (“EITF 98-05”), and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, (“EITF 00-27”). When the effective conversion rate of the instrument at the time it is issued is less than the fair value of the common stock into which it is convertible, we recognize
a beneficial conversion feature, which is credited to equity and reduces the initial carrying value of the instrument.
When convertible debt is initially recorded at less than its face value as a result of allocating some or all of the proceeds received in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants, (“APB 14”), to derivative instrument liabilities, to a beneficial conversion feature or to other
instruments, the discount from the face amount, together with the stated interest on the convertible debt, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. All allowances against deferred income tax assets are recorded in whole or in part, when it is more likely than not those deferred income tax assets will not be realized.
Marketing Commissions Revenue
Marketing commissions revenue is recognized at the time the customer has been accepted by the vendor and/or received the product from the vendor or is under contract with the vendor and receiving the services. In those cases where services continue over future periods, revenue is
recognized when delivery of service to the customer has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection by the vendor from the customer has been made or is probable and the vendor payment of commissions to us is probable.
Management has determined that the Company is acting as a principal under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 99-19, Reporting revenue gross as a participant versus net as an agent, and as such, recorded the marketing commission revenue and expense
on a gross basis. This is principally due to the Company maintaining the credit risk with the independent agents.
Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $894 and $16,067, respectively.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share, where applicable, is computed giving effect to all dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily common stock
options and warrants. All potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect on diluted per share amounts are excluded in determining the diluted loss per common share. Stock options and warrants exercisable into 18,500 common shares as of June 30, 2008, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. During the year ended June 30, 2009, all outstanding options and warrants were cancelled.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures 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 will differ, and could differ materially from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” which establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, recognizes
and measures the goodwill acquired in a business combination, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. Our adoption of SFAS No. 141R related to our proposed entry into the oil and gas business may have a material impact on our 2010 consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling ownership interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity,
not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. In addition, it requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the statement of operations. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not expect our adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on our 2010 consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This standard applies to derivative instruments, nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as
hedging instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133. It does not change the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities, but requires enhanced disclosures concerning the effect on the financial statements from their use. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Currently, we do not have any instruments that would be impacted by this standard.
In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency
between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure such asset’s fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact, if any, of FSP 142-3 on its financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument
(or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF No. 07-5 applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all of the characteristics of a derivative or freestanding instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock. To meet the definition of “indexed to own stock,” an instrument’s contingent exercise provisions must not be based on (a) an observable market, other than the market for the issuer’s stock (if
applicable), or (b) an observable index, other than an index calculated or measured solely by reference to the issuer’s own operations, and the variables that could affect the settlement amount must be inputs to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” forward or option on equity shares. EITF No. 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of EITF 07-5
on our financial position and results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). This standard requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were
available to be issued. This standard is not expected to result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in its financial statements. The provisions for SFAS 165 were effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard on June 30, 2009, and the impact of the adoption was not significant. Subsequent events through September 2, 2009 were evaluated.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for
SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 (year ending January 2, 2010 for the Company).
NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Cognigen Business Systems, Inc.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, we generated revenue from CBSi’s operations in the amount of $58,463, $0 and $15,233, respectively. During the same period (July 1, 2005 through September 30, 2007), we incurred
in excess of $600,000 in expenses associated with the CBSi operations. After reviewing the activities and operations of CBSi, our Board of Directors concluded that the large losses generated by CBSi, and the projected amount of cash required to develop and market the intended CBSi products, did not warrant further investment in CBSi or continued marketing and sale of the CBSi products. Our Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of BHCC and our shareholders to focus our efforts on continuing
to develop its historical agent marketing business and, on August 31, 2007 we sold our its 100% ownership in CBSi to Carl Silva and ABP, for 24,921 shares of our common stock valued at $14,458 and the retention of $30,844 of CBSi-related accounts payable. In conjunction with this sale, the employment agreement and all benefits related thereto with Carl Silva were terminated and or relinquished. All other agreements with ABP were also terminated. The 24,921 shares of our common stock we received in the transaction
were cancelled.
The following is financial information as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 relative to discontinued operations described above.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
Cash flows generated from operations, advances pursuant to our financing arrangements and cash from advances by an officer and a director were sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the year ended June 30, 2009, but will not likely be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future or provide
for expansion opportunities. We had a working capital deficit of $438,777 as of June 30, 2009, incurred $476,338 in losses from continuing operations, and generated $3,061 in cash flows from operations for the year ended June 30, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, two persons, an officer and a director of the Company, advanced $150,000 to the Company. All of these notes and accrued interest, were converted into 404,351 shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (see Note 6 to these
consolidated financial statements).
In order to continue as a going concern, we plan to obtain additional debt or equity financing, increase revenues, and continue to decrease selling and administrative costs to increase cash flows from operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional debt or equity
financing, that we will be able to reduce our operating costs and expenses, or that cash flows from operations will produce adequate cash flow to enable us to meet all our future obligations or to be able to expand. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease operations.
NOTE 4 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Our financing arrangements as of June 30, 2009 consisted of:
Note Payable to Cardelco |
$ | 4,000 |
Secured Term Loan with VenCore Solutions, Inc.
On October 10, 2006, we entered into an agreement with VenCore Solutions, Inc. (“VenCore”) to borrow $250,000 under a term loan to be repaid by making monthly payments of $9,000, which included interest at 16.7% per annum. The loan was
fully amortizable over 36 months. The loan documents contained certain covenants, which included the requirement of VenCore’s approval of the disposition of any of our material assets, a prohibition against our incurrence of additional liens on our assets or the change of creditors. As part of our agreement with VenCore, we issued to VenCore warrants to purchase 1,500 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $5,093. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 per share and are exercisable for up
to seven years from date of grant. We granted VenCore a lien on substantially all of our assets. We also paid to VenCore commitment and documentation fees of $5,500. These fees were amortized over three years as an adjustment to interest expense. As of June 30, 2008 the remaining principal and accrued interest balance was $166,614. In July 2008 we entered in to a “Payment Restructure Agreement” with VenCore whereby VenCore converted $83,500 of the term loan into an unsecured 12% convertible note due
September 30, 2009 which was convertible, at the option of VenCore, into no more than 66,800 shares of our common stock. In addition, VenCore was granted a two-year warrant to purchase 20,875 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The remaining original note balance of $83,321, along with interest at 16.7%, is to be paid in monthly payments of an amount equal to the greater of $5,000 per month or 10% of any debt or equity funding we receive in any given month. We paid VenCore $1,000 for
documentation fees in relation to the Payment Restructure Agreement, which was expensed. During the year ended June 30, 2009 the conversion feature within this convertible promissory note and warrants resulted in the Company recording a beneficial conversion feature of $13,058 and an increase to debt discount, which was recorded as interest expense. In April 2009, when the balance of the original note was $65,000 and the balance on the convertible note was
$91,015, we entered into a settlement agreement with VenCore whereby we paid to VenCore $65,000 and issued to them 98,307 unregistered shares of our common stock in full settlement of all obligations and for their cancellation of all warrants. As the common stock was trading at $0.51 per share on the settlement date, the Company recognized a $40,878 gain on conversion of debt which is included in Other Income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2009 we have no further
obligations to VenCore.
Note Payable to Cardelco
On December 31, 2007, we entered into a short-term promissory note with Cardelco, LLC (“Cardelco”) in the amount of $25,000. The note obligated us to make payments in the amount of $5,000 per month starting February 1, 2008 until fully paid. The note did not bear interest unless
default occurred, at which time interest would accrue at 10% per annum. This note was part of a lease termination agreement we executed with Cardelco relating to a lease for office space in San Diego, California. The termination agreement consisted of paying $45,000 to Cardelco, $20,000 of which was paid upon agreeing to the termination agreement and
$25,000 was paid in form of a short-term promissory note. As of June 30, 2009, we were in default and $4,000 remained unpaid on the note.
Receivables Purchase Agreement
On December 26, 2003, we entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank which, as subsequently amended, provided for up to $1,000,000 in marketing commissions receivable to be used as collateral for advances under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, of which 80% of the
marketing commissions receivable balances were available in cash advances to us. Interest charges were 1.5% per month on the marketing commissions receivable balances used as collateral. Silicon Valley Bank was given a first-position security interest in our assets, including all of our copyrights, trademarks, patents and mask works, as a condition to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Purchase Agreement contains certain positive and negative covenants with respect to our business operations,
including but not limited to, the requirement of Silicon Valley Bank’s approval to the disposition of assets, change in ownership and additional indebtedness. We paid facility, audit and due diligence fees to Silicon Valley Bank upon renewal of the Receivables Purchase Agreement in March of 2007 of approximately $7,000 and extension fees in March 2008 of $2,500. These amounts were amortized into interest expense over one year. Silicon Valley Bank did not renew the Receivables Purchase Agreement and demanded
that we repay the outstanding balance by May 8, 2008. On May 12, 2008, we repaid the full amount owing to Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the Receivables Purchase Agreement was terminated.
Commissions Payable
As part of verbal agreements with certain of our independent marketing agents, we periodically place commissions payable on a deferred payment schedule. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 we had placed $276,065 and $200,000, respectively of commissions payable on a deferred payment schedule with interest
accumulating at a rate of 10% per annum. These independent marketing agents have agreed to allow us to use accrued commissions that normally would have been paid to them for our working capital purposes. We have verbally agreed to repay these commissions plus interest when requested by the participating independent agents. Accrued interest expense, relating to these commissions payable, as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $14,383 and $2,180 respectively.
Related Party Borrowings
See Note 8 for a detail of borrowings with related parties that were both issued and converted during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in its financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates
in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.
Temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of our assets result primarily from differing depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful accounts, net operating loss carry forwards and the recognition of certain expenses for financial statement purposes and not for tax purposes. We had approximately $4,300,000
of net operating loss carry forwards as of June 30, 2009, which expire in varying amounts through 2028, if unused. A change in our ownership of more than 50% occurred during the year ended June 30, 2008. As such, according to the Internal Revenue Code, our net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to their utilization in future periods.
Temporary differences and carry forwards giving rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets (liabilities) at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

As discussed in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements, during the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company entered into a series of stock transactions that culminated in a 50% change in control in the ownership of our common stock. Our ability to utilize the full benefit or our net operating losses for tax purposes may be limited
under Section 382 due to the changes in control.
The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate applied to pre-tax accounting net loss compared to the income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations:

Effective July 1, 2007, we adopted the provision of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting of Uncertainty in Income Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Under FIN 48, we must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We measure the tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulation in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and
judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulation change over time and may result in changes to our subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements. The result of the assessment of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009. Our federal tax returns for all years
after June 30, 2005 and state tax returns after June 30, 2004 are subject to future examination by tax authorities for all our tax jurisdictions. It is our policy to record costs associated with interest and penalties related to tax in the selling, general and administrative line of the consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Special Meeting of the Shareholders
On March 31, 2008, we held a special meeting of shareholders at which our shareholders approved a series of proposals previously approved by our Board of Directors. These proposals consisted of (i) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the outstanding shares of our common stock pursuant to which each
50 shares of our pre-split common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the reverse split would be exchanged for one share of our post-split common stock, (ii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 300,000,000 shares, $.001 par value per share, to 100,000,000 shares, $.0001 par value per share, and the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 20,000,000 shares, no par value per share, to 400,000 shares,
$.0001 par value per share, (iii) a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to BayHill Capital Corporation and make other changes necessary to facilitate the foregoing actions and the reincorporation of BHCC, (iv) a proposal to reincorporate BHCC under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (v) a proposal to adopt the Cognigen Networks, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
Based upon the approval of our shareholders at the March 31, 2008 special meeting, effective April 23, 2008 our management completed the actions necessary to effect the name change, reverse stock split, Delaware reincorporation and reduction in the number of authorized shares of common and preferred stock. Our common stock began trading on
April 23, 2008 on a post-split basis under the symbol "BYHL." All share and per-share amounts reflected in this report have been restated to reflect the 1 for 50 reverse stock split unless otherwise indicated.
Preferred Stock
On October 17, 2002 we issued 10,000 shares of 8% Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to Stanford International Bank Limited for $500,000. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of our common stock for a period of five
years. After five years, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted to shares of our common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock did not have voting rights and had a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into 10,000 shares of our common stock on October 14, 2007 according to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and
the 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 we had authorized 400,000 shares of Preferred Stock. There were no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2009 or 2008.
Common Stock
Cash Advance from Affiliates
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we obtained advances of $150,000 in cash funds for use as working capital as follows: (a) $100,000 from Little Hollow Farms, Inc., a company that is affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, (b) $25,000 from Vector Capital, a company that is affiliated
with our Chief Executive Officer, and (c) $25,000 from James Jensen, chairman of our board of directors. During the year ended June 30, 2009, these advances together with accrued interest were converted into notes and the notes were converted into the Company’s common stock. See “Settlement of Accounts Payable and Notes” below.
BayHill Capital, LC (Related Party)
As set forth in the table below, on June 15, 2007 and June 28, 2007, BayHill Capital, LC, an entity which is affiliated with two of our executive officers (one of whom is also a director), extended to the Company short-term convertible notes in the amount of $100,000 and $150,000, respectively. Both of these notes, together with
accrued interest, were converted in October, 2007 into shares of the Company’s common stock. On September 26, 2007 and November 5, 2007 BayHill Capital, LC extended to the Company convertible notes in the amount of $30,000 and $150,000 respectively. Both or these notes, together with accrued interest, were converted on March 31, 2008 into shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion feature within these four notes resulted in the Company recording a beneficial conversion feature in stockholders
equity of $266,529 and a charge to interest expense for that amount, in the Company’s statement of operations. In addition to the above convertible notes, from December 5, 2007 through May 27, 2008, BayHill Capital, LC, extended to the Company a series of short-term, non-convertible notes totaling $465,000.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 our management, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2009, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. This report and our controls were reviewed by our audit committee with no further suggestions for changes.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures.
The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2009. Our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent 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.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to

Corporate Governance
Our Board of Directors has standing Audit and Compensation Committees. To date, our Board of Directors has not established a Nominating or Governance Committee, in part because our Board of Directors believes that, at this stage of our development, all of our directors should be actively involved in the matters which would be addressed by
such a committee. We may, in the future, establish a Nominating or Governance Committee. We believe each of the directors serving on our Audit and Compensation Committees is an independent director pursuant to NASD Rule 4200(a)(15) and that each of the directors serving on the Compensation Committee is an “independent director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In evaluating the independence of James U. Jensen, the Chairman of our Board of Directors,
and a member of our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors reviewed and considered the relationship between Clearwater Governance LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Jensen is a principal (“ClearWater”), a firm that provides administrative and corporate governance support to small publicly-traded companies, including BHCC. Based upon its review, our Board of Directors (with Mr. Jensen abstaining) concluded that the compensation we paid to ClearWater was fair and reasonable and priced
competitively and that the services ClearWater provides to us are in the best interests of BHCC and our shareholders. Our Board of Directors concluded that
the compensation we paid to ClearWater is substantially below the amount specified in regulations that would make Mr. Jensen a “non-independent” director and unanimously determined (with Mr. Jensen abstaining) that Mr. Jensen is an independent director.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, our Board of Directors held 7 meetings. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of any committee on which he served. It is our policy that our directors should attend annual meetings of
our shareholders. All of our current directors attended our annual meeting of shareholders held on October 15, 2008.
Audit Committee. John D. Thomas and James U. Jensen serve as members of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Thomas serving as Chair. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Thomas satisfies the criteria
for an audit committee financial expert under Rule 401(e) of Regulation S-B promulgated by the SEC. Each member of our Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. The functions of the Audit Committee are primarily to: (a) facilitate the integrity of our financial statements and internal controls, (b) oversee our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to accounting
and/or financial controls, (c) evaluate our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (d) oversee the performance of our internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm, and (e) review our systems of disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, and compliance with ethical standards related to accounting and/or financial controls we have adopted. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter
for our Audit Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website, www.bayhillcapital.com. Except as otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations or listing standards or our Audit Committee Charter, major decisions regarding our activities and operations are considered by our Board of Directors as a whole. Our Audit Committee met 4 times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Compensation Committee. John M. Knab and James U. Jensen serve as members of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, with Mr. Knab serving as Chair. The functions of our Compensation Committee are primarily to: (a) to oversee the discharge the responsibilities of the Board
relating to compensation, and (b) to ensure that our compensation plans, programs and values transferred through cash pay, stock and stock-based awards, whether immediate, deferred, or contingent are fair and appropriate to attract, retain and motivate management and are reasonable in view of company economics and of the relevant practices of other, similar companies. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for our Compensation Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website,
www.bayhillcapital.com. The Compensation Committee met 0 times during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
Director Nominations. Our Board of Directors will consider recommendations for director nominees by shareholders if the names of those nominees and relevant biographical information are submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary
in the manner described for shareholder nominations below under the heading “Proposals of Shareholders.” All director nominations, whether submitted by a shareholder or the Board of Directors, will be evaluated in the same manner.
Code of Ethics
On May 12, 2008, our Board of Directors adopted a new Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) to replace our previous Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. The Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing by our employees and to promote honest and ethical conduct, full, fair and accurate disclosure, compliance
with laws, prompt internal reporting and accountability to adherence to the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is applicable to all of our employees, as well as employees of our subsidiaries, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. A copy of the Code of Ethics was previously filed with the SEC and is posted on the Company’s website, www.bayhillcapital.com.
Compliance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors to file reports concerning their ownership of our common stock with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of such reports. Based solely upon our review of the reports required by Section 16 and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that all reports required
to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the annual reporting period of July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, were filed with the SCE on a timely basis. All reports during the annual reporting period of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, were filed with the SEC on a timely basis except as follows:

However, the Audit Committee intends to submit the selection of EKS&H to our shareholders for ratification at our upcoming annual meeting of shareholders as a matter of good corporate
governance. If our shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of BHCC and our shareholders.
