NOTE 1 - |
BACKGROUND
|
The
unaudited financial statements have been prepared by The OLB Group, Inc.
(the
“Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in
the
opinion of management; necessary to fairly present the operating results
for the
respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should
be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for
the
year ended December 31, 2007 included on the Company’s Form 10-KSB. The results
of the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the
results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.
NOTE 2 - |
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase to be a cash
equivalent.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit
risk, consist of accounts receivable and cash deposits. The Company maintains
cash with various major financial institutions. The Company performs periodic
evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. To reduce
risk, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income
taxes
In
July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Deferred
income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax
assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and
tax
credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred
tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for
the
effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of
enactment.

The
OLB Group, Inc.
Notes
to
the Financial Statements
March
31,
2008 and December 31, 2007
When
tax
returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be
sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject
to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the
position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position
is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based
on all
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the
position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of
appeals
or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount
of
tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits
associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as
described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits
in the
accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties
that
would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest
and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as
additional income taxes in the statement of income.
The
Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and New York. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer
subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations
by
tax authorities for years before 2004. The Company has not filed a tax return
since the 2005 year. Minimum state tax payments have accrued in states for
which
the company has operated. Upon filing all amounts paid will be subject to
penalties and interest according to the state of New York. The statue of
limitations remains open on all years from 2006 going forward. The statute
will
not begin to run until the Company files the tax return. Once the return
has
been filed the IRS will have 3 years to examine and adjust the amounts
reported.
The
company operates at a loss and will only be liable for minimum state tax
payments once returns are filed. No unrecognized liability will be added
to the
Company’s balance sheet for the un-filed returns as the amounts reported are an
immaterial amount.
At
December 31, 2007, there are no tax positions for which the ultimate
deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about
the
timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting,
other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility
period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate
the
payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax
benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
NOTE 3 - |
RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
In
February 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its
founder
and President that expires on February 28, 2009.
The
agreement provides for an annual salary of $250,000 plus fringe benefits
and an
incentive bonus based on the achievement of certain performance criteria.
During
2007 the company converted $284,570 of accrued salary and loans owed to the
Company’s President into 2,060,534 shares of common stock.
During
the first three months of 2008 the company converted $83,600 of accrued salary
and loans into 491,765 shares of common stock.
On
February 20, 2008 the company extended the employment agreement with its
founder
and president for another 5 years commencing April 1, 2008 that expires on
February 28, 2014. The agreement
F-8
The
OLB Group, Inc.
Notes
to
the Financial Statements
March
31,
2008 and December 31, 2007
provides
for an annual salary of $275,000 plus fringe benefits and an incentive bonus
based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. The employment
agreement also includes a covenant not to compete with the Company for a
period
of one (1) year after employment ceases as to the renewal of this
agreement.
NOTE 4 - |
GOING
CONCERN
|
The
financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going
concern. A gofing concern contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable
length of time. The Company has incurred significant losses from operations,
and
has a working capital deficit of approximately $290,800 which together raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management
is presently pursuing financing and investment opportunities with investment
bankers and private investors. The ability of the Company to achieve its
operating goals and to obtain such additional finances, however, is uncertain.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount
and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and
plan of operation together with our consolidated financial statements and the
related notes appearing at the end of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. Some of the information contained in this discussion and
analysis or set forth elsewhere in this form 10-Q, including information with
respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing,
includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You
should review the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007 for a discussion of important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied
by
the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and
analysis.
This
Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to our
expectations for future events and future financial performance.
Generally, the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, and future events and circumstances could differ
significantly from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ
materially. Factors which could affect our financial results are described
in the “Risk Factors” included herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor
any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of
the
forward-looking statements. We undertake no duty to update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform such
statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
Forward-Looking
Statements
The
information in this report contains forward-looking statements. All statements
other than statements of historical fact made in report are forward looking.
In
particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future
results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such
as
“believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,”
“projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar
words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the
forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect
management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual
results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed
to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the
future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative
of
actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the
best
present assessment of our management.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of financial statements require management to make estimates and disclosures
on
the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our
estimates including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition.
We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience and other assumptions
as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect
our
more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial
statements.
Revenue
Recognition.
The
Company has had no revenues from operations since inception. Revenues will
be
recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer and the
earnings process is complete. In general, title passes to our customers upon
the
customer's receipt of the merchandise. Revenue is accounted for in accordance
with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue No. 99-19, reporting revenue gross as
a
principal versus net as an agent. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis since
our company has the risks and rewards of ownership, latitude in selection of
vendors and pricing, and bears all credit risk. Our company records all shipping
and handling fees billed to customers as revenues, and related costs as cost
of
goods sold, when incurred, in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force Issue
No. 00-10, accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs.
3
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts.
Currently
we have no accounts receivable. We are required to make judgments based on
historical experience and future expectations, as to the realizability of our
accounts receivable. We make these assessments based on the following factors:
(a) historical experience, (b) customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, (d) current economic conditions, and (e) changes in customer payment
terms.
Overview.
We
are
e-commerce service provider, which enables a business desiring to sell goods
and
services on the internet to utilize the our e-commerce resources and support
services, thus creating economies of scale and cost efficiencies for e-commerce
sellers throughout the entire e-commerce process.
The
products that we plan to distribute over the next year and will account for
most
of our business are as follows:
· |
ShopFast
PC
|
· |
ShopFast
DSD
|
There
are
a number of trends in the eCommerce/direct response marketing industry, the
most
significant of which is the trend toward integrated marketing strategies.
Integrated marketing campaigns involve not only advertising, but also sales
promotions, internal communications, public relations, social networking, and
other disciplines. The objectives of integrated marketing are to promote our
products and services,
Price
is
no longer the sole motivator of purchasing behavior for our potential customers.
With the availability of similar products from multiple sources, customers
are
increasingly looking for distributors who provide a tangible value-added to
their products. As a result, we provide a broad range of products and related
services. Specifically, we will provide research and consultancy services,
artwork and design services, and fulfillment services to our customers. These
services will be provided in-house as well as outsourced by our current
suppliers.
We
can
provide no assurances that our expectations described above will be
realized.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted the following accounting
pronouncements which had no impact on the financial statements or results of
operations:
FASB
154
- Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
In
May
2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, which replaces APB Opinion No.20
and FASB No. 3. This Statement provides guidance on the reporting of accounting
changes and error corrections. It established, unless impracticable
retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in
accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements to
a
newly adopted accounting principle. The Statement also provides guidance when
the retrospective application for reporting of a change in accounting principle
is impracticable. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating
previously issued financial statements is also addressed by this Statement.
This
Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after
December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes
and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date the
Statement is issued. Management believes this Statement will have no impact
on
the financial statements of the Company once adopted.
4
FASB
155 – Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
In
February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, which is an amendment
of
FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement (a) permits fair value
re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded
derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (b) clarifies which
interest-only strip and principal-only strip are not subject to the requirements
of Statement 133, (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in
securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding
derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded
derivative requiring bifurcation, (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit
risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, (e) amends
Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This
Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after
September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption of this Statement is permitted as of the
beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued any
financial statements for that fiscal year. Management believes this Statement
will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once
adopted.
FIN
48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48
contains a two step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109. The first step is
to
evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of
available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will
be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation
processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest
amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
This provision is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006,
which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2008. The Company is evaluating the
impact, if any; the adoption of this statement will have on its results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows. Given the Company’s substantial
loss carry-forward, it does not, in the near term, expect to have any impact
of
the Company’s tax position with the adoption of FIN 48.
FASB
157 – Fair Value Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No.
157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, rather it applies under existing accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007, which will be the Company’s fiscal year
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its
financial statements.
FASB
158 – Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting
for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. SFAS 158
requires us to record the funded status of its defined benefit pension and
other
postretirement plans in its financial statements. We are required to record
an
asset in its financial statements if a plan is overfunded or record a liability
in its financial statements if a plan is underfunded with a corresponding offset
to shareholders’ equity. Previously unrecognized assets and liabilities are
recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. SFAS 158 also
requires us to measure the value of our assets and liabilities as of the end
of
our fiscal year ending after December 15, 2008. We have implemented
SFAS 158 using the required prospective method. The recognition provisions
of SFAS 158 are effective for the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. We do not expect that adoption of this new standard to
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash
flows.
FASB
159 – Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value.
SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007.
The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on our
financial condition or results of operations.
EITF
00-19-2 - Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements
In
December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for
Registration Payment Arrangements ("FSP 00-19-2") which addresses accounting
for
registration payment arrangements. FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent
obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under
a
registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or
included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should
be
separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies. FSP 00-19-2 further clarifies that a financial
instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement
5
SAB
108 – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements
In
September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) “Considering the Effects of Prior Year
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 provides guidance
on quantifying financial statement misstatements, including the effects of
prior
year errors on current year financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006, which will be the Company’s
fiscal year 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources.
We
anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will require a need to obtain
additional financing. The Company’s primary sources of funding to date consists
of loans from its Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder, Ronny
Yakov. Although Mr., Yakov has provided financing in the past, he has no binding
commitment to continue such financing. We may not be able to obtain such
additional financing or, if obtained, such financing may not be available and/or
not be on terms favorable to us.
PLAN
OF OPERATION.
Our
plan
of operation is to launch the marketing of the software component of our
ShopFast PC product by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2008, to produce
a 30 minute infomercial to promote this product, as well as short form two
minute commercials after completing the longer infomercial, depending on the
funds available to the Company for such purposes. We intend to run the
advertisements for a period of time and to use focus groups to determine the
prices at which we can obtain the highest level of reseller orders and
then
to launch a full scale media campaign. If the ratio of media spending to product
orders is at least $1.50 return in orders on $1.00 spent on advertising, we
would continue such advertising. Otherwise, we would consider alternatives
to
the advertising methods tried. After adjustments to the marketing plan and
getting a satisfactory return rate on the media expenditures, we intend to
launch a nationwide television distribution campaign.
Over
the
next twelve months, we do not expect to purchase or sell any significant
equipment. We are currently redesigning ShopFast PC so that the Internet
Storefront can be created by a client having limited computer expertise without
our assistance. In previous versions of ShopFast DSD, the Internet Storefront
would have had to have been created by an administrator employed by us. We
are
redesigning ShopFast PC so that the client can create the Internet Storefront
on
the client’s own, in the following five steps:
Step
1:
Choose
the categories of items to be sold on the store.
Step
2:
Design
the store by choosing layouts, fonts, colors and a logo.
Step
3:
Personalize the store by adding descriptive text
Step
4:
Account
information to facilitate payments for the store subscription as well as payment
of commissions
Step
5:
Final
store confirmation and immediate store generation.
If
we
successfully test our ShopFast PC product, we are planning to develop or acquire
additional products to complement our e-commerce products. We anticipate
that we will also need to make expenditures in the following areas: to expand
our existing ecommerce platform and replace some of the existing hardware and
servers to service the volume of transactions we anticipate and to add more
marketing and administrative personnel, although our initial plan is outsource
significant services to third party providers. The additional products to be
developed and/or acquired have not yet been identified, but are expected to
be
the result of requests by clients and/or their customers for additional
functionality, services, payment methods and/or product
availability.
We
are
currently in the quality assurance testing phase for our re-developed ShopFast
DSD software, which is based on a different design platform than the prior
versions, allowing it to operate faster and under all computer operating systems
that can fully support Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher. ShopFast DSD will have
be a customized product to the needs of the particular clients. The immediately
prior paragraph is also applicable to the successful testing of our re-developed
ShopFast DSD product.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Some
of
the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements
by forward-looking words such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that
contain these words carefully because they:
· |
discuss
our future expectations;
|
· |
contain
projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
condition; and
|
· |
state
other "forward-looking"
information.
|
We
believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may
be
events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which
we
have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as
a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors,"
"Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
OVERVIEW
We
are an
e-commerce service provider engaged in the development of software products
and
other services designed to help businesses sell products over the internet.
We
are currently developing two software products: ShopFast
Direct Shopping Database™
(“ShopFast DSD”), and ShopFast
Profit Center™
(“ShopFast PC”). Each of these software products enables the user of the
software to create an internet website from which such user can sell products
located on a database maintained by us (the “OLB Database”).
GENERAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General
and administrative ("G&A") expenses decreased by $845,065 or 1140% to
$74,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease in G&A expenses was the result of
a decrease in professional fees and services for the software
development.
NET
LOSS
Net
loss
decreased by $844,865 or to $138,405 for the three months ended March 31,
2008
as compared to three months ended March 31, 2007.
This
decrease in net loss was the result of the decrease in G&A expenses for
professional fees & software development.
During
the
three
months ended March 31, 2008,
the
Company used $35,505 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $11,680
cash used through three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in the use
of
cash for operating activities was a result of increase in legal and consulting
fees.
Cash
provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31,
2008
was $36,100 as compared to $16,366 through three months ended March 31, 2007.
Our capital needs have primarily been met from the proceeds of Reg-A offering,
and loans from our president.
Our
financial statements as of the three months ended March 31, 2008 have been
prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern through
December 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued
their report that included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial
doubt
in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital
becoming available. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is
dependent on our ability to generate a profit which is dependent upon our
ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating
efficiencies and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
this uncertainty.
7
PLAN
OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
We
are
engaged in developing eCommerce software.
Our
plan
of operation within the next twelve months is to utilize our cash balances
to
continue research and development of our software. We believe that
our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support
development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next twelve
months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources
during 2008, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We will be
investigating additional financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt
financing. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available
to
us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are
unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next twelve months, we may be
forced to reduce the size of our organization, which could have a material
adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease the development of our
products.

ITEM 3. |
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
Prior
to
the filing of our Form 10-QSB for the second quarter of 2008, our management
intends to complete an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design,
maintenance and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and to
implement any corrective actions. We intend to maintain disclosure controls
and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities an Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to
our management, including its chief executive officer as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition
of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We
are
aware of the following material weaknesses in internal control that could
adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial date:
Due
to
the size of the Company there is a lack of adequate personnel and the expertise
that is required to (1) prepare an accurate analysis of cash flows and
ultimately the Statement of Cash Flows included in the financial statements,
(2)
properly account for stock for service transactions and (3) properly prepare
the
cash reconciliation.
In
addition, the Company has a material weakness in the adequacy of its ability
to
complete notes to the financial statements.
This
quarterly report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding
internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the
Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period
established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for new public
companies.
