HOLDINGS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
March
31, 2009
NOTE
1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2009 and for all
periods presented have been made.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2008 audited
financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended
March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full years.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. The Company has had no revenues and has generated losses
from operations.
In order
to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the
Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources and to
develop a consistent source of revenues. Management’s plans include
of investing in and developing all types of businesses related to the
entertainment industry.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph
and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if
the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
John
Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310 Holdings,
Inc. on April 24, 2009. Subsequently, John Bordynuik was
appointed President and CEO of the Company. The Company’s revised
objective is to develop new technologies and to acquire assets.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow
sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”,
“believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions,
identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including
but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets,
market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of
relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key
personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be
beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s
discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most
astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of revenue. The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set
forth therein.
In
addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of
operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Plan
of Operations
310
Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 20, 2006. We are
a startup company and have not yet realized any significant, consistent
revenues. Our efforts, to date, have focused primarily on the development and
implementation of our business plan.
Management
has started to commence operations with Plastic2Oil, a process and service
that extracts fuel from plastic.
John
Bordynuik purchased 63% of the issued and outstanding shares of 310 Holdings on
April 24, 2009. Subsequently, John Bordynuik was appointed
President and CEO of the Company. Our revised objective is to develop
new technologies and to acquire assets.
Management
is transitioning our company to become a global technology leader whose purpose
is to mine data from Bordynuik’s large information archive, find
under-productive entities to inject our superior proprietary technologies into,
and benefit from increased productivity and profitability, beginning with
Plastic2Oil.
Mr.
Bordynuik designed hardware and software to recover planetary and sensor data
from old magnetic media for various government and institutional archives for
more than 20 years, amassing what is believed by management to be the world's
largest solution and algorithm archive. We have access to terabytes of this
normalized earth sensor data (heat budget, solar radiation, gravitational,
magnetic, and vibration information), algorithms, massive research archive, and
other related information.
While
mining through the research archive, John Bordynuik found the solution, catalyst
and process to a break down plastics to liquid hydrocarbons. Mr. Bordynuik had
explored Plastic to Oil conversion when employed at the Ontario,
Canada legislature but there was no research available at that time
to make the conversion commercially viable. This recently mined research was
conducted when plastic was not as widespread as today and oil prices were very
low. It appears to our management that the research was conducted for
non-commercial purposes and it had no commercial value at the
time.
Our
research has revealed that this process and catalyst is not presently
commercialized. By integrating this technology into a large batch processor we
believe, but cannot guarantee, that we can accomplish the
following:
·
|
Approximately
one liter of fuel is extracted for every pound of
plastic.
|
·
|
Some
fuel byproduct provides the energy necessary to fuel the process thereby
eliminating energy costs.
|
·
|
Due
to our catalyst and a highly optimized process, fuel can be extracted in
four hours from a large source of raw unwashed, mixed
plastics.
|
·
|
The process
will be highly automated.
|
·
|
Raw
materials cost approximately $0.10/lbs which produce approximately one
liter of fuel.
|
·
|
There
is no residue.
|
Our
management believes that this technology has significant advantages over
biodiesel operations due to their high operating costs, the high costs of raw
materials, and the high energy requirements by their processes.
Alan
Barnett, our Head Chemist, will oversee the optimization and deployment of our
first volume Plastic2Oil processor anticipated in July, 2009.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, we did not generate any revenues, and
incurred a net loss of $4,056 compared with no net revenues and a net loss
of $5,564 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The cumulative
net loss was attributable solely to general and administrative expenses related
to the costs of operations.
Generating
sales in the next 12 months is imperative for us to continue as a going concern.
We believe that we will be required to generate a minimum of approximately
$2,000,000 in revenues over the next 12 months in order for us to support
ongoing operations. If we do not generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses over the next
12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in
exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern. There are no formal
or informal agreements to attain such financing. We can not assure you that any
financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to
continue as a going concern.
Since our
incorporation, we have raised a total of $105,500 through private sales of our
common equity. Additionally, a shareholder (a prior Officer and Director)
advanced $141,600 to us. In May 2006, we issued 5,750,000 shares of our common
stock to Nicole Wright, an officer and director, in exchange for cash in the
amount of $20,000 and on March 2, 2006 we issued 350,000 shares of our common
stock to Nevada Business Development Corporation for services in the amount of
$350. Additionally, in August and September 2006, we sold an aggregate of
3,000,000 shares of our common stock to 26 unrelated third parties for cash
proceeds of $90,000. John Bordynuik, our appointed President and CEO, has
advanced our company $50,000 since April 24, 2009.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these
financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management
periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or
conditions.
Stock Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123(R)")
that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to
be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the
amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value
of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards
will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized
over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123 and is effective as of the beginning of
January 1, 2006. Based on the number of shares and awards outstanding as of
December 31, 2005 (and without giving effect to any awards which may be granted
in 2006), we do not expect our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in January 2006 to
have a material impact on the financial statements.
FSP FAS
123(R)-5 was issued on October 10, 2006. The FSP provides that instruments that
were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, and that
modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity
restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees, then no
change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in classification)
of those instruments will result if both of the following conditions are met:
(a). There is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic
value to the exercise price of the award is preserved, that is, the holder is
made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the
award in contemplation of an equity restructuring; and (b). All holders of the
same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the
same manner. The provisions in this FSP shall be applied in the first reporting
period beginning after the date the FSP is posted to the FASB website. The
Company has adopted SP FAS 123(R)-5 but it did not have a material impact on its
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Accounting Policies and
Estimates
The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to
make certain 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. Our management periodically
evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and
judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions. As such,
in accordance with the use of accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, our actual realized results may differ from
management’s initial estimates as reported. A summary of significant
accounting policies are detailed in notes to the financial statements which are
an integral component of this filing.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures.
Our
management team, under the supervision and with the participation of our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last
day of the fiscal period covered by this report, March 31, 2009. The term
disclosure controls and procedures means our controls and other procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive
and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our
principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, are responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f).
Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control
framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework, is known as the COSO Report. Our principal executive officer
and our principal financial officer, have has chosen the COSO framework on which
to base its assessment. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009.
It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of
these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently
completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Lack
Of Segregation Of Duties
Management
is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the
small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial
matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the
abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the
risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential
benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the
substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will
periodically reevaluate this situation
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
We are
not a party to any legal proceedings, there are no known judgments against the
Company, nor are there any known actions or suits filed or threatened against it
or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such. We are
not aware of any disputes involving the Company and the Company has no known
claim, actions or inquiries from any federal, state or other government agency.
We are not aware of any claims against the Company or any
reputed claims against it at this time.
There
have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
However, the following risk factors, in addition to risk factors previously
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008 should be considered
BECAUSE
WE ARE QUOTED ON THE OTCBB INSTEAD OF AN EXCHANGE OR NATIONAL QUOTATION SYSTEM,
OUR INVESTORS MAY HAVE A TOUGHER TIME SELLING THEIR STOCK OR EXPERIENCE NEGATIVE
VOLATILITY ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Our
common stock is traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid, in part
because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential
investors can follow the market price of shares except through information
received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets
in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities
that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system.
This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of
readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative
supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market
conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in
the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These
fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for
our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair
price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold
them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock
improves.
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATION
Our
shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly
referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain
requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates
the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has
a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule
3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless
that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange
meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on
the NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded
from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the
registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the
Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the
shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on
broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors.
FINRA SALES PRACTICE
REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR
STOCK.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending
an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for
believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to
recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that
there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which
may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on
the market for our shares.
FAILURE
TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL
ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS.
It may be
time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the
additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal
auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate
additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are
unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not
be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
If we
fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to
remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify,
such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements,
cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and
have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations,
beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending
December 31, 2007, we will be required to prepare assessments regarding
internal controls over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report
on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending December 31, 2008, furnish a
report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We
have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control
procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in
increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and
attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our
management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this
important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our
objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors
will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to
achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our
Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our
stock price.
In
addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses”
in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB
defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or
detected.
In the
event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel
and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material
weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing
effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to
anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory
environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of
internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a
public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will
remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement
and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the
future.
Any
failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to
implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the
periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a
failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would
adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required
under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls
could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our
common stock.
RISKS
RELATING TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Although
there is presently a market for our common stock, the price of our common stack
may be extremely volatile and investors may not be able to sell their shares at
or above their purchase price, or at all. We anticipate that the market may be
potentially highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially because
of:
·
|
Actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our future business and operating
results;
|
·
|
Changes
in or failure to meet market
expectations;
|
·
|
Fluctuations
in stock market price and
volume

WE
DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are
legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole
discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any
future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and
will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows
and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors
our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will
pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are rapid, there is no
assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
OPERATING
HISTORY AND LACK OF PROFITS COULD LEAD TO WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR SHARE PRICE.
THE PRICE AT WHICH YOU PURCHASE OUR COMMON SHARES MAY NOT BE INDICATIVE OF THE
PRICE THAT WILL PREVAIL IN THE TRADING MARKET. YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL YOUR
COMMON SHARES AT OR ABOVE YOUR PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL
LOSSES TO YOU. THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON SHARES IS PARTICULARLY
VOLATILE GIVEN OUR STATUS AS A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN COMPANY WITH A SMALL AND
THINLY TRADED PUBLIC FLOAT.
The
market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will
continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First,
as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the
price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common
shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on
its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our
limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future
market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced
risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of
their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more
inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of
these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our
common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any
predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common
shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will
sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of
shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on
the prevailing market price.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such
patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few
broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
(2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices
involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask
differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale
dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have
been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable
collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is
aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.
Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the
market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will
strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described
patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence
of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share
price.
OUR
BUSINESS PLAN CALLS FOR EXTENSIVE AMOUNTS OF FUNDING AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
OBTAIN SUCH FUNDING WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, OPERATIONS, AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
We will
be relying on additional financing and funding. We are currently in discussions
with potential sources of financing but no definitive agreements are in place.
If we cannot achieve the requisite financing or complete the projects as
anticipated, this could adversely affect our business, the results of our
operations, prospects, and financial condition.
OUR
BUSINESS PLAN RELIES ON SIGNIFICANT REVENUE FROM NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND REDUCTION IN GOVERNMENT REVENUE COULD EFFECT OUR BUSINESS
PLAN
A
significant portion of our business plan relies upon our ability to successfully
charge licensing and other fees to governmental agencies for our
services. The recent worldwide financial crisis, coupled with
dramatic reductions in state revenues due to reduced property values and the
economic downturn, creates substantial additional uncertainty in both the size
and administration of governmental budgets. In turn, our business plan may
be adversely affected if governmental budgets are reduced, if any limitations or
restrictions are placed upon the acquisition of new products or services like
ours (such as a “freeze” on new products or services) or if expenditure
priorities are changed, particularly if budgets available for emergency
management services are reduced. We believe that our services
provide a key benefit to emergency managers and the general public, and
that we will ultimately be able to successfully market our services on a
widespread basis but we have no control over general economic conditions
or the administration of public funds, so the actual timing of the rate of
adoption is subject to additional uncertainty. Should such
uncertainties otherwise adversely affect the execution of our business plan, we
will make appropriate adjustments to our plan, generally, and/or to the
execution of our plan, specifically, in light of the then-available resources,
existing prospects, and rapidly changing conditions. By way of
example, if our adoption rates in the governmental sector are significantly
reduced, we may elect to curtail the growth of our operations, divert more
resources toward the pursuit of private sector (rather than governmental)
enterprises, adjust the pricing or terms of our offerings, or any combination of
the foregoing. In anticipation of the potential for a reduction in
the short-term revenue from our services, particularly from our governmental
prospects, we have already scaled back expenditures beyond previously planned
levels.
SHOULD
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES MATERIALIZE, OR SHOULD THE
UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY
FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, EXPECTED, INTENDED OR
PLANNED.
There
were no changes in securities and small business issuer purchase of equity
securities during the period ended March 31, 2009.
There
were no defaults upon senior securities of during the period ended March 31,
2009.
There
were no matters submitted to the vote of securities holders during the period
