1. BUSINESS
Overview
of our Business and its History
We are a
web-assisted real estate services company primarily focused
on residential home buyers and sellers. We utilize the Internet,
proprietary technology and efficient business processes to attempt to deliver
significant savings to our home sellers and rewards to our home buyers over the
traditional “full commission” real estate brokerage model. We attempt
to emphasize client service, when and as needed or requested by our
clients, to separate us from other real estate services
and discount brokerage models; and we attempt to provide efficiency and
cost savings that will differentiate us from traditional brokerage
models.
We
operate under three brands. Webdigs.com, our first brand, is our full-service
discounted real estate brokerage. Webdigs offers rebates to its customers
of up to 1% of the sales price of the home they purchase through us and offers
listing services below the price of traditional full-service brokerages as
well. We do not mandate that our Webdigs real estate agents charge a
pre-determined price for listing a seller’s home, but believe that all of our
agents offer listings to their customers for less than other traditional
brokerages, who we believe most often charge 5-7% for listing
services.
Our
second brand, IggysHouse.com, which launched in January 2010, is a
month-to-month listing service that allows home sellers to list their home on
their local MLS through our licensed real estate broker partners (who,
pursuant to the rules of the MLS, are the only parties eligible to submit
listings on the MLS) and on IggysHouse.com for a flat fee of $49.95 per
month, with various other ala carte services available for
purchase.
Our third
brand, theMLSDirect.com, offers a $299 fixed price six month MLS listing,
utilizing our licensed real estate broker partners, to consumers not wishing to
engage the services of a listing real estate agent.
Currently,
we market to potential customers principally through internet ad campaigns,
limited but highly targeted e-mail, and direct mail. Our most consistent
source of business, however, has been referrals from previous satisfied
customers of our businesses.
Background
and Industry Trends
We
believe that the real estate market is undergoing a dramatic change not
dissimilar to that previously experienced by traditional stock
brokerages. We believe that the most critical aspect driving this
change is the advent of the Internet as a tool for searching for and researching
real estate, eliminating the commitments of time and expense involved with
visiting multiple properties in person. According to the National
Association of Realtors’ 2010 “Member Profile,” 74% of home buyers use the
internet to search for a home. This actually exceeds the 69% who use a
realtor for their search. Note: many buyers use both the internet and a
realtor in their search. In addition, home sellers can use the Internet to
check home valuations, track the housing market and research comparable sales
information.
The
increased use of technology throughout the entire process of a typical
residential real estate transaction is an important development in the real
estate market. For instance, electronic communication and electronic data
storage permits a real estate brokerage to quickly reproduce standard real
estate transaction documents, store such documents and store other important
information about customers and properties, and communicate quickly with other
parties involved in real estate transactions (e.g., title companies, insurers,
surveyors, inspectors and governmental agencies), all of which permits increased
efficiencies in the process of buying and selling a home. The technological
changes and developments generally make it possible to effect a greater volume
of transactions with less effort and expense.
1
We
believe the technological developments in the real estate market and the
increased amount of information available to and used by ordinary consumers
appear to be circumstances that are similar to those developments that
eventually gave rise to the non-traditional stock brokerages which have intruded
upon the market dominance of traditional stock brokerages over the past two
decades. For example, we note that the non-traditional stock brokerages
developed their services and products to compete primarily on the bases of
price, consumer effort and technology. Their websites, such as TD Ameritrade or
e-Trade, provide not only trading capacity for the average consumer, but also a
tremendous amount of information about companies. In this regard, we note that
there has recently been a proliferation of various Internet-related real estate
businesses that seek to provide either specific and limited services or
information relating to residential real estate transactions (e.g.,
ForSaleByOwner.com, BuyOwner.com and Zillow.com). Like the non-traditional
stock brokerages, these businesses typically rely on consumer effort, technology
and price as the bases for competition. This is the model Webdigs has based its
business practices on.
Further
affecting the real estate industry over the last 4+ years has been the highly
publicized financial crisis and resulting “housing bubble”. Nationally,
according to Zillow, Inc. residential real estate prices peaked in June 2006 and
have not yet rebounded. In the city of Minneapolis, the average sale
price for a single family home has dropped 24% in the three years since October
2007 from $260,701 to $197,381 in October 2010. Seasonally adjusted
12 month home sales have dropped by 42% in the Twin Cities Northstar Multiple
Listing Service in the six years from October 2004 to October 2010. Over
the past twelve months home sales have dropped by 21,200 on a seasonally
adjusted annual basis. This drop from 52,100 as of October 2009 to
30,900 in October 2010 results from the drop off from the bump the housing
market received last year from the federal government’s home buyer tax
credit.
Our
Business Model, Products and Services
Services
for Home Buyers
We
provide home buyers with a number of services. Through our website at
Webdigs.com, home buyers can search our database of MLS listings, view open
house schedules, schedule home visits, make offers and monitor the offer and
counteroffer process. Our licensed real estate agents assist buyers by preparing
offers, counteroffers and other real estate documents, negotiating purchase
contracts, setting up inspections, arranging for financing, and preparing for
closings. Our agents support the buyer at each step of this process, until
the transaction has closed.
After a
closing, we pay our clients their rebate check within 14 days for their portion
of our buy-side commission. Our rebate payments are generally 1% of the sale
price of the home.
Using a
generally accepted industry average fee of 2.7% (our estimate using informal
data collected by our agents in Minnesota and Florida) for buyer representation,
any customer purchasing a home for a price exceeding $111,000 may benefit
financially from using Webdigs.com as the brokerage. After
collecting our minimum $3,000 fee per transaction, our buyers receive a cash
rebate check of up to 1% of the purchase price of the home they have acquired
through us. We believe this gives buyers a financial incentive to use our
services.
Since our
inception in July 2007 and as of November 30, 2010, our Webdigs.com home buying
clients have:
|
·
|
closed
235 purchases of properties, and
|
|
·
|
collectively
received $819,000 in cash rebates for their purchases (an average of
$3,489 per transaction)
|
Services
for Home Sellers
In our
Minnesota and Wisconsin markets, Webdigs.com offers our home sellers a full
service listing, including a listing on the Northstar MLS, for a fee below the
price of other full service brokerages. At times, our agents will offer a
full service listing for a commission as low as 4.5% of the final sale price at
closing of which 1.7% is paid to Webdigs, and the standard 2.7% goes to the
buyer’s brokerage. This represents a 25% savings compared to the average
real estate fee of 6% of sales price. Assuming a sales price of $300,000,
a Webdigs listing customer could save 1.5% of the sales price ($4,500) by using
Webdigs as their listing brokerage. To ensure that our customers receive the
same attention from non-Webdigs agents representing potential buyers of a home
listed by Webdigs, we typically offer the standard 2.7% of sales price
commission to non-Webdigs brokerages who represent buyers purchasing a home
listed by Webdigs. The Northstar MLS contains listings from Minnesota,
portions of western Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and eastern North and South
Dakota. Our listings also appear on Realtor.com and 14 other national
home-listing websites. In addition to providing home sellers with a home
listing, Webdigs may arrange for virtual home tours of our sellers’ homes so
that the resulting virtual tour may become a part of the listing on our website.
To assist with the pricing of a seller’s home, we provide a comparative market
analysis to the seller and individual consultation on pricing strategies.
Finally, we also provide a range of individual strategies for readying a
seller’s home for sale. We support these services with marketing and
advertising campaigns designed to drive traffic to our website. As of
November 30, 2010, our home selling clients have sold over 110 homes with
us since inception.
2
Our
second brand is IggysHouse.com, which began operating in January 2010.
Iggys provides the value conscious consumer the ability to tightly control their
expenditures and avoid the traditional percentage fee costs charged to sellers
(based upon our observations the fee typically is 3.3% to seller + 2.7% for
buyers brokerage = 6.0% total). For a basic MLS listing, utilizing
one of our licensed real estate broker partners, IggysHouse.com charges a
flat fee of $149.95 for a three month listing, or $249.95 for a six month
listing, which can be continued at the election of the consumer.
If the customer chooses, they may still offer the buyer’s agent a
commission (usually 2.7%). As noted above, IggysHouse.com
offers a full menu of add-on services which a customer can choose to purchase on
an ala carte basis. These menu selections include yard signs, enhanced
photo tours, favored listing placements on selected national realtor websites
and additional options which provides more exposure to the seller’s
home.
To date,
IggysHouse.com has been a disappointment. We still remain convinced that
the seller controlled low cost MLS listing model will continue to
gain traction as time passes – the advancement of technology will continue to
empower consumers to actively manage their own home selling process. Over
the near term, however, our own investment priorities will not afford us the
opportunity to continue supporting an aggressive growth strategy for
Iggys. We have scaled back our marketing support for IggysHouse.com in our
primary Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida markets. Additionally, we have
discontinued using the Iggys House website we purchased due to the higher
operating costs. Instead, we have found a low cost internet provider to support
the small Iggys House operations for now. Results of our scaled back
operating philosophy have been encouraging and we will continue to monitor Iggys
House closely in the months ahead.
The
financial struggles of IggysHouse.com forced us to record an impairment charge
of $1,251,455 in our third quarter ended July 31, 2010.
The only remaining intangible asset relating to IggysHouse.com
is the website and associated database. We have re-valued these together
at $100,000. If we choose not to use this asset in the future, we
believe it has some value potentially to another real estate
company.
Our third
brand for selling homes, utilizing our licensed real estate broker partners, is
the MLSDirect.com The MLSDirect.com website fills a void between our Webdigs.com
and IggysHouse.com listing programs. It offers a flat fee MLS listing for
prices starting as low as $299. Like IggysHouse.com, there is also a full menu
of add-on services on the website that the customer can choose to
purchase. MLSDirect.com net revenue is still very low at only $20,262 for
fiscal 2010.
Additional
Services
We also
work with preferred partners in the mortgage brokerage industry who help support
marketing that is beneficial in helping to attract customers to
Webdigs.
Our
Strategy
Our
long-term goal is to become the leader in comprehensive web-assisted real estate
(brokerage) services for buyers and sellers of residential real estate in the
United States and Canada. Initially, however, we are focused on pursuing the
following broad strategic initiatives:
|
·
|
Focus on finding buyers and
sellers for Webdigs.com. We have narrowed our marketing focus to
lead generation. We are engaged in marketing to find consumers who
could potentially benefit from the services we offer. Our own
research indicates to us that our consumers have found the Webdigs.com
product offering to their liking. As indicated previously, we
generate a large proportion of our revenue from referrals of previously
satisfied customers. Therefore, we are marketing specifically
to individuals who are or will be in the market to buy or sell their homes
in the very near future using internet advertising, targeted e-email and
direct mail.
|
3
|
·
|
Develop a larger agent
base. To grow, we will need more agents. We
believe that the positive consumer experience that Webdigs’ past customers
report will assist in bringing additional real estate agents into our
Company. Furthermore, we further enhanced our
compensation plan in the fourth quarter of the year ended October 31,
2010. We believe that our compensation plan, along with a
newly launched third party supported website, and a renewed focus on low
cost methods of marketing directly to home buyers and sellers has
increased our overall attractiveness to experienced agents
substantially. We are confident that we will be able to compete
successfully with larger brokerages in the recruitment of top performing
agents.
|
|
·
|
Attain
profitability in our current markets. There are a number of
Internet-based real estate brokerages presently attempting to capitalize
on perceived market, demographic, trade/industry and economic changes. To
our knowledge, none of these businesses have reached the sustained
profitability needed to validate the discounted Internet-based real estate
brokerage and real estate services models. Therefore, we believe
that an initial critical strategic goal is for Webdigs, Iggyshouse.com and
The MLSDiect.com to attain overall profitability across our current
markets in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. We believe that
profitability—especially sustained profitability—will buoy consumer
confidence in our services and lead to further
successes.
|
If we can
attain profitability, we believe that our business model, being predicated on
greater efficiency and volume than the traditional models but with an emphasis
on expertise and extensive client service, will facilitate our expansion into
additional markets and the growth of our business.
Industry
Segments
We
currently operate in one primary operating segment: web-assisted real estate
services (brokerage).
Competition
The
residential real estate market is highly fragmented and we have numerous
competitors, many of which have greater name recognition, longer operating
histories, larger client bases, and significantly greater financial, technical
and marketing resources than we do. We anticipate that the most critical
competitive factors in our business and industry include price, service and the
ease of using website tools.
Some of
our competitors in the residential real estate brokerage market are traditional
brokerage firms, including large national brokerage firms or franchisors, such
as Prudential Financial, Inc., RE/MAX International Inc., and Edina
Realty. We compete with these brokerages primarily on price, service and
the ease of use of our website interfaces. Although our commissions are
generally lower than other brokerages, consumers may be attracted to traditional
brokerages because they offer or are perceived to offer higher levels of
individual attention and service.
We also
compete with non-traditional real estate brokerage firms including Zip
Realty, Inc., and Redfin Corporation, each of which pays cash rebates to
clients and relies to a large extent on the efficiencies of the Internet. We
believe that these competitors generally have greater financial resources than
we do, and also have a longer operating history in the realm of online discount
real estate brokerage. Here too, we compete with these non-traditional
brokerages primarily on price, service and on the ease of use of our website
interface. Our commissions are generally competitive with these non-traditional
brokerages. For example, ZipRealty and Redfin respectively rebate approximately
20% and 50% of their commissions to home buyers. We generally rebate
up to 1% of the purchase price of the home (usually in the neighborhood of 35%
of the commission we receive) with a minimum fee for Webdigs of
$3,000.
4
IggysHouse.com
competes with multiple flat fee discount real estate listing services across a
broad spectrum of pricing models, such as ForSaleByOwner.com and BuyOwner.com.
We compete with these discount service providers primarily on level of service.
Although with Webdigs, we offer traditional services to our clients at a
discounted price, highly self-motivated consumers may be attracted to
IggysHouse.com or other discount listing services because they are less
expensive than our Webdigs branded services. For example, we currently believe
that a consumer can obtain an MLS listing through ForSaleByOwner.com for
anywhere from $90 per month to a $900 flat fee.
We
compete or may in the future compete with various online services, including
Move, Inc., Zillow.com, HouseValues, Inc., HomeGain.com,
Yahoo!, Inc., Google Inc. and Trulia, Inc. that also look to
attract and monetize home buyers and sellers using the Internet. For instance,
Move, Inc. operates the www.realtor.com website. Move, Inc. is
affiliated with the National Association of Realtors, the National Association
of Home Builders, the Manufactured Housing Institute and hundreds of MLSs, which
may provide Move, Inc. with preferred access to listing information and
other competitive advantages. We compete with these service providers primarily
on the basis of service and the ease of use of our website interface. Many of
these currently limited competitors and future competitors have significantly
more resources than we do.
Environmental
Regulation
We are
not subject to environmental regulations that have a material effect upon our
capital expenditures or otherwise.
Other
Regulation
We are
subject to governmental regulation by federal, state and local regulatory
authorities with respect to our real estate operations.
Federal Regulation. Federal
laws and regulations govern the real estate brokerage business. These include
the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, or RESPA, and federal fair
housing laws. RESPA requires disclosures to home buyers and sellers of
settlement costs and restricts the payment of kickback or referral fees for
settlement services. RESPA does not prohibit referral fees paid by one real
estate brokerage to another brokerage. Federal fair housing laws generally make
it illegal to discriminate against protected classes of individuals in housing
or brokerage services. Other federal regulations protect the privacy rights of
consumers and affect our opportunities to solicit new clients.
Like real
estate brokerage, mortgage brokerage is subject to RESPA and federal fair
housing laws. Mortgage brokerage is also regulated by other federal laws such as
the Truth in Lending Act, Regulation Z and the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act. The provision of title insurance is also highly regulated.
State Regulation. Real estate
licensing laws vary from state to state, but generally all individuals and
entities acting as real estate brokers or salespersons must be licensed in the
state in which they conduct business. A person licensed as a broker may either
work independently or may work for another broker in the role of an associate
broker, conducting business on behalf of the sponsoring broker. A person
licensed as a salesperson must be affiliated with a brokerage in order to engage
in licensed real estate brokerage activities. Generally, a corporation engaged
in the real estate brokerage business must obtain a corporate real estate broker
license. In order to obtain this license, most jurisdictions require that an
officer of the corporation be licensed individually as a real estate broker in
that jurisdiction. If applicable, this officer-broker is responsible for
supervising the licensees and the corporation’s real estate brokerage activities
within the state.
5
Real
estate licensees, whether they are brokers, salespersons, individuals or
entities, must follow the state’s real estate licensing laws and regulations.
These laws and regulations generally prescribe minimum duties and obligations of
these licensees to their clients and the public, as well as standards for the
conduct of business, including contract and disclosure requirements, record
keeping requirements, requirements for local offices, trust fund handling,
agency representation, advertising regulations and fair housing requirements.
Although payment of rebates or credits to real estate purchasers of the type we
offer are permitted in most states, some states either do not permit these
rebates or credits or do not permit them in the form that we currently provide
them. Eight states have “minimum service laws” that require realtors to provide
a level of service that purely web-assisted real estate businesses typically do
not provide (Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and Wisconsin). We presently operate in the State of Florida and we
believe the services we offer to residential real estate consumers comply with
Florida’s minimum service law because: (i) for our clients buying homes, we show
them homes, draw up the related offer paperwork, negotiate the purchase, answer
all questions, and close the purchase transaction; and (ii) for our clients
selling homes, we help the seller price the home (through a competitive market
analysis or otherwise), draw up the listing agreement, negotiate the sale, and
coordinate a closing of the sale. Nevertheless, we have not obtained any
independent or governmental opinion relating to our compliance with Florida
minimum-service laws. Eleven states prohibit rebates of real estate commissions
(Alabama, Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey,
Oklahoma and Tennessee).
Governmental
bodies may change the regulatory framework within which we intend to operate,
without providing any recourse for adverse effects that the change may have on
our business. In Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida (i.e., the states where we
currently have operations), we have designated one of our employees as the
individually licensed lead broker and we hold a corporate real estate broker’s
license where required by law. In addition to state laws regarding real estate
brokerage, we must comply with state laws regarding mortgage brokerage,
including laws that regulate the timing and content of disclosures.
Local Regulation. Local
regulations also govern the conduct of our business. Local regulations generally
require additional disclosures by the parties to a real estate transaction or
their agents, or the receipt of reports or certifications, often from the local
governmental authority, prior to the closing or settlement of a real estate
transaction.
Trade Regulation. In addition
to governmental regulations, we are subject to rules and regulations established
by private real estate trade organizations, including, among others, local MLSs,
the National Association of Realtors, and state and local associations of
realtors. The rules and regulations of the various MLSs to which we belong vary,
and specify, among other things, how we as a broker-member can use MLS listing
data, including the use and display of such data on our website.
In 2008,
the United States Department of Justice agreed to settle claims it had brought
against the National Association of Realtors relating to the ability to access
MLS listings. The settlement decree addressed two areas of particular concern to
non-traditional real estate brokerage firms such as Webdigs. First, the decree
prohibits “selective opt-outs,” which enable a broker involved in a MLS to
selectively prohibit certain MLS participants from displaying that broker’s MLS
listings on the participants’ website. Second, the decree prohibits “blanket
opt-outs,” which enable a broker involved in a MLS to prohibit all other MLS
participants from displaying that broker’s MLS listings, even though traditional
real estate brokerage firms could easily display or otherwise convey these same
listings in other manners. Presently, we are optimistic that the settlement will
prohibit conduct that is unfair and potentially harmful to our
business.
The
National Association of Realtors, as well as the state and local associations of
realtors, also have codes of ethics, rules and regulations governing the actions
of members in dealings with other members, clients and the public. We are
required to comply with these codes of ethics, rules and regulations by virtue
of our membership in these organizations.
Intellectual
Property
Our
success depends significantly upon our ability to protect our core technology
and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of
intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, copyrights and
trademarks, as well as customary contractual protections.
We
possess the rights to over 50 website domain names and numerous trademarks and
tradenames. Some of the most prominent include:

Our
ability to enforce our intellectual-property rights is subject to general
litigation risks. Typically, when a party seeks to enforce its
intellectual-property rights, it is often subjected to claims that the
intellectual-property right is invalid, or is licensed to the party against whom
the claim is being asserted. We cannot be certain that our intellectual-property
rights will not be infringed upon, that others will not develop products in
violation of our intellectual-property rights, or that others may assert,
rightly or wrongly, that our intellectual-property rights are invalid or
unenforceable. In instances where we will rely on trade secrets for the
protection of our confidential and proprietary business information, we cannot
be certain that we would have adequate remedies for any such breach or that our
trade secrets will not otherwise become discovered or independently developed by
competitors. In general, defending intellectual-property rights is expensive and
consumes considerable time and attention of management. Our involvement in
intellectual-property litigation would likely have a materially adverse effect
on our business, even if we were ultimately successful in defending our
intellectual-property rights.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
An
investment in our common stock involves significant risks. Before deciding to
invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider each of the following
risk factors and all of the other information set forth in this document. The
following risks could materially harm our business, financial condition or
future results. If any such risks materialize, the value of our common stock
could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We
are a recently formed company with no history of profitability.
We began
operations in July 2007 and to date have not generated a yearly profit.
In addition, annual revenues remain under $1 million and are not
growing. As a young company, we are subject to all of the risks
associated with a new business enterprise. Our prospects must be considered in
light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by
companies in their early stages of development, especially in challenging and
competitive industries such as residential real estate and mortgage brokerage
and particularly in light of current general economic, real estate and credit
market conditions.
We do not
yet have a significant operating history which would provide you with meaningful
information about our past or future operations. The Company is
developing plans to become cash flow positive on a monthly basis before the end
of the current fiscal year ending October 31, 2011, however, there is
significant risk associated with achievement of that goal including the ability
of key executive officers to continue to work while receiving no cash
salary.
7
We
will require additional financing in the future, but such financing may not be
available to us.
We will
require significant additional capital to continue our operations. To date, our
revenues from operations have not generated cash flow sufficient to finance our
operations and growth. As a result, we have periodically since our inception
sought financing and we will likely continue to require additional financing in
the foreseeable future. Since August, 1, 2009 our Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer has invested $100,000 as equity and has additionally loaned
the Company $528,500. We expect that we will need approximately
$150,000 in additional financing prior to the end of October 2011 to cover
salaries, contracted website maintenance and development and other basic working
capital needs. This amount is based on our assumption that our
CEO and CFO will continue to work without receiving any form of cash
compensation and that the vendors to whom we owe significant past due payables
will continue to be patient with us. There remains the risk however,
that our Chairman and CEO may not be willing to continue funding our
losses.
Additional
financing could be sought from a number of sources, including but not limited to
additional sales of equity or debt securities, or loans from banks, other
financial institutions or our affiliates. If additional funds are raised by the
issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance of stock,
convertible securities, or the issuance and exercise of warrants, then the
ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If additional
funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may
become subject to certain operational limitations (e.g., negative operating
covenants), and such securities may have rights senior to those of the existing
holders of common stock.
If
adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund
the operation of our business. As a result, we would likely be forced to
dramatically alter or cease operations.
We
critically rely on our executive management, and the loss of certain members of
management would materially and negatively affect us.
Our
success materially depends upon the efforts of our management and other key
personnel, including but not limited to Robert A. Buntz, Jr., our Chief
Executive Officer. If we lose the services of Mr. Buntz or any other executive
managers or significant employees, our business would be materially and
adversely affected. We have entered into a formal services and non-competition
agreement with Mr. Buntz in the form of a Member Services Agreement between Mr.
Buntz. Nevertheless, agreements do not ensure the continued availability
to us of Mr. Buntz or any other manager or employee. Furthermore, we do not have
“key person” life insurance insuring the life of Mr. Buntz, and we do not
presently intend to purchase such insurance.
Our
future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly
qualified management personnel and other employees. Any difficulties in
obtaining, retaining and training qualified employees could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition. The process
of identifying such personnel with the combination of skills and attributes
required to carry out our strategy is often lengthy. Any difficulties in
obtaining and retaining qualified managers and employees could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
There
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
We have
had net losses attributed to common shareholders for the years ended October 31,
2010 and 2009 of $3,080,671 and $1,084,815 respectively. Furthermore, we had a
working capital deficit as of October 31, 2010 of $1,575,521. Since the
financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going
concern, these conditions coupled with our current liquidity position raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore,
since we are pursuing new business, this diminishes our ability to accurately
forecast our revenues and expenses. We expect that our ability to continue as a
going concern depends, in large part, on our ability to generate sufficient
revenues, limit our expenses without sacrificing customer service, and obtain
necessary financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be
forced to discontinue our business.
8
We
may be unable to obtain sufficient market acceptance of our
services.
The
market for residential real estate sales is well-established. However, the
market for non-traditional residential real estate sales is relatively new,
developing and even more uncertain. As is typical in the case of a new and
rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for products and
services are subject to tremendous uncertainty. Our future growth and financial
performance will almost entirely depend upon consumers’ acceptance of our
“Webdigs solution” to purchase and sell homes at discounted rates. In this
regard, the failure of purchasers and sellers of residential property to accept
our model or the inability of our services to satisfy consumer expectations,
would have a material adverse effect on our business, and could cause us to
cease operations.
Our
officers and directors, together with certain affiliates, possess controlling
voting power with respect to our common stock, which could limit your influence
on corporate matters.
Our
officers and directors collectively possess beneficial ownership of
approximately 67,318,392 shares representing beneficial ownership of
approximately 72.4% of our common stock. As a result, our directors and
officers have or could have the ability to greatly influence, if not outrightly
control, our management and affairs through the election and removal of our
directors, and all other matters requiring stockholder approval, including the
future merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our
assets.
This
concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential
merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be
beneficial to our stockholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will
limit the practical effect of your participation in our corporate matters,
through stockholder votes and otherwise. As a result, the return on your
investment in our common stock through the sale of your shares or our business
could be adversely affected.
We
rely on third parties for key aspects of the process of providing services to
our customers, and any failure or interruption in the services provided by these
third parties could harm our ability to operate our business and damage our
reputation.
We rely
on third-party vendors, including website providers and licensed real estate
brokers. Any disruption in access to the websites developed and hosted by these
third-party providers or any failure of these third-party providers to handle
current or higher volumes of use could significantly harm our business.
Any financial or other difficulties our providers face may have negative effects
on our business, the nature and extent of which we cannot predict. We exercise
little or no control over all of these third-party vendors, which increases our
vulnerability to problems with the services they provide.
In
addition, we license technology and related databases from third parties to
facilitate aspects of our website and connectivity operations, including, among
other things, internet home search services. Any errors, failures, interruptions
or delays experienced in connection with these third-party technologies and
information services could materially and negatively impact our relationship
with our customers and adversely affect our brand and our business. It is
possible that such errors, failures, interruptions or delays could even expose
us to liabilities to our customers or other third parties.
Interruption
or failure of our information technology and communications systems would impair
our ability to effectively provide our services, which could in turn damage our
reputation and harm our business.
Our
ability to provide our services critically depends on the continuing operation
of our information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or
failure of our systems would likely result in interruptions in our service to
customers and the closings of real estate transactions from which we principally
derive revenue. Accordingly, interruptions in our service would likely reduce
our revenues and profits, and our brand could be damaged, perhaps irreparably,
if people believe our system and services are unreliable.
9
To our
knowledge, our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from terrorist
or malicious attacks, floods, tornados, fires, power loss, telecommunications
failures, computer viruses and other attempts to harm our systems, and similar
types of events. Our data centers are subject to break-ins, sabotage and
intentional acts of vandalism, and to other potential disruptions. Some of our
systems are not fully redundant (i.e., backed up), and our disaster recovery
planning cannot account for all eventualities. The occurrence of a natural
disaster, or a decision to close a facility we are using without adequate notice
for financial reasons or other unanticipated problems at our data centers, could
result in lengthy interruptions in our service. Any unscheduled interruption in
our service would likely place a burden on our entire organization and result in
an immediate loss of revenue. The steps we have taken to increase the
reliability and redundancy of our systems are expensive, reduce our operating
margin and even then may not be successful in reducing the frequency or duration
of unscheduled downtime.
Our
certificate of incorporation grants our Board of Directors, without any action
or approval by our stockholders, the power to issue additional shares of capital
stock, including the power to designate additional classes of common and
preferred stock.
Our
authorized capital consists of 250,000,000 shares of capital stock. Pursuant to
authority granted by our certificate of incorporation and applicable state law,
our Board of Directors, without any action or approval by our stockholders, may
designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including other classes or
series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights,
preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and
voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of capital
stock, including preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the
rights of the shares of common stock offered hereby. The designation and
issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely
affect other rights appurtenant to the shares of our common stock. Finally, any
issuances of additional capital stock (common or preferred) will dilute the
percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute the
per-share book value of the Company.
There
is limited public market for our common stock.
We
commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board on December 19, 2008 and
there are currently over 6 million shares registered and eligible for sale via
the OTCQB (a market tier on the over-the-counter Pink Sheets market). To
date, however, our stock has been thinly traded with some days having no shares
sold. We cannot guarantee that a highly liquid market will exist in
the near future.
We
are required to comply with governmental regulations, which will increase our
costs and could prohibit us from conducting business in certain
jurisdictions.
We are
subject to governmental regulation by federal, state and local regulatory
authorities with respect to our real estate brokerage and mortgage lending
operations. As is standard in the residential real estate brokerage industry,
our real estate agents must be licensed. In some states, our proposed business
activities are prohibited and we may not operate in those states. Eight states
have “minimum service laws” that require realtors to provide a level of service
that web-assisted real estate businesses typically do not provide. Eleven states
outrightly prohibit rebates of real estate commissions. Governmental bodies may
change the regulatory framework within which we intend to operate, without
providing any recourse for adverse effects that the change may have on our
business.
We can
give no assurance that we will be able to comply with existing laws and
regulations, that additional regulations that harm our business will not be
adopted, or that we will continue to maintain our licenses, approvals or
authorizations. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or
the adoption of new laws and regulations restricting our intended operations,
could have a material adverse effect on our business and could cause us to cease
operations.
10
The
efforts of the National Association of Realtors or other organizations could
prevent us from operating our business, and could lead to the imposition of
significant restrictions on our operations.
The
online residential real estate sales model generally, and the Webdigs business
model specifically, is based on the assertion that full-commission real estate
brokerages and agents do not provide an acceptable level of value to consumers
and that consumers are willing to engage in online home search activities via
the internet if they can reduce the dollar amount of commissions paid on home
sales and purchases. This model is a direct and significant threat to
traditional residential real estate brokerages and agents.
In
response to previous and ongoing efforts by discount web-assisted real estate
companies, the National Association of Realtors, which represents real estate
brokerages, has issued rules that attempt to block access of web-assisted real
estate companies to the Multiple Listing System (MLS) and may adopt additional
rules intended to reduce or eliminate competition from web-assisted (online)
discount real estate businesses such as Webdigs. Our business is dependent upon
the ability to access the MLS to be competitive. We can give no assurance that
the National Association of Realtors will not be successful in preventing our
access to the MLS, or that it or another organization will not be successful in
adopting rules or imposing other restrictions on web-assisted real estate
businesses such as Webdigs. Such adoption or imposition of regulations or
restrictions would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Competition
in the traditional and online residential real estate industry is
intense.
The
residential real estate industry is highly competitive. We believe that
important competitive factors in this industry include (but are not limited to)
price, service, and ease of use. We presently face competition from numerous
companies engaged in traditional residential real estate brokerage services and
several online residential real estate sales companies, and we expect online
competition to increase in the future from existing and new competitors. Most of
our current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial,
marketing and technical resources than us, as well as significant operating
histories. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete successfully against new
or existing competitors. Furthermore, competition may reduce the prices we are
able to charge for our services, thereby potentially lowering revenues and
margins, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of
operation and financial condition.
The
online residential real estate industry is subject to significant and rapid
technological change.
The
online residential real estate industry is subject to rapid innovation and
technological change, shifting customer preferences, new service introductions
and competition from traditional real estate brokerage firms. Competitors in
this market have frequently taken different strategic approaches and have
launched substantially different products or services in order to exploit the
same perceived market opportunity. Although we believe that we are offering a
unique solution, there can be no assurance that our services will be competitive
technologically or otherwise, or that any other services developed by us will be
competitive.
Our
ability to compete in this industry will depend upon, among other things, broad
acceptance of our services and on our ability to continually improve current and
future services we may develop to meet changing customer requirements. There can
be no assurance that we will successfully identify new service or product
opportunities and develop and bring to the market new and enhanced solutions in
a timely manner, that such products or services will be commercially successful,
that we will benefit from such development, or that products and services
developed by others will not render our products and services noncompetitive or
obsolete. If we are unable to penetrate markets in a timely manner in response
to changing market conditions or customer requirements, or if new or enhanced
products or services do not achieve a significant degree of market acceptance,
our business would be materially and adversely affected.
11
Consumer
access to mortgage financing has been affordable and widely available by
historic standards and any tightening in the availability of credit will have
the potential to negatively impact our operating results.
The
affordability and availability of mortgage financing is influenced by a number
of factors, including interest rates, lender underwriting criteria, loan product
availability and the performance of mortgage backed securities in the secondary
market. While the federal government has supported programs to make loans
easier to obtain in recent months, we believe that the mortgage market still
remains tight despite these efforts and near record low interest rates.
Real estate transaction volume remains significantly below levels of
the market’s peak in 2006.
We
may be impacted by general economic conditions within the United States
residential real estate market.
The
residential real estate market has experienced vast fluctuations in recent
times. In some years, real estate home sales are brisk, while in other years the
residential real estate market has been stagnant. Our ability to attract home
sellers and buyers to use our website will, in part, depend upon consumers’
willingness in general to buy or sell a home. When consumers sense that the
overall economy is not doing well, they are less likely to make an expensive
purchase such as a home.
In
addition, unemployment remains at the high levels by historical standards.
There also remains an enormous inventory of unsold and vacant
homes. In the first quarter of 2010, the US Census Bureau reported there
were 19 million vacant homes in the United States.
Failure to achieve and maintain
effective internal controls could limit our ability to detect and prevent fraud
and thereby adversely affect our business and stock price.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation. Our most recent evaluation of our internal controls resulted in
our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
due to a lack of segregation of duties in our accounting and financial
functions, including financial reporting and our quarterly closing process. In
our case, our failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control
environment could cause us to be unable to produce reliable financial reports or
prevent fraud. This may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our
stock price.
Important
Note: The foregoing risks are not a complete list of all risks that do or
may affect the results of operation, financial condition or business prospects
of Webdigs, but do represent management’s understanding and belief of the
material risks associated with the Company, its business and any investment in
securities of the Company. In addition to the above risks, businesses are often
subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. In reviewing
this document, potential investors should keep in mind other possible risks that
could be important. In sum, investors are urged to make their own evaluation of
Webdigs.

Presently, we

self-regulatory agency (e.g., the OTCQB, NASD, AMEX or NYSE) to obtain the
approval of our security holders prior to issuing any such compensatory
options, warrants or other rights to purchase our securities.
Potential
Anti-Takeover Effects
Certain
provisions set forth in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended, in our bylaws and in Delaware law, which are summarized below, may
be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a
tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its
best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid
over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.
Blank Check Preferred Stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that permit us to
issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 125,000,000
shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such
series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation
of the series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of the series, and the
preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if
any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such
series.
Special Meetings of
Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders
may be called only by the chairman or by our board. Stockholders are not
permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders, to require that the board
call such a special meeting, or to require that our board request the calling of
a special meeting of stockholders.
While the
foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware
law may have an anti-takeover effect, these provisions are intended to enhance
the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board of
Directors and in the policies formulated by the Board of Directors and to
discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or
threatened change of control. In that regard, these provisions are designed to
reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions
also are intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy
fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others
from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may
inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could result
from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the
effect of preventing changes in our management.
Delaware
Takeover Statute
In
general, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a
Delaware corporation that is a public company from engaging in any “business
combination” (as defined below) with any “interested stockholder” (defined
generally as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated
with such entity or person) for a period of three years following the date that
such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: (1) prior to such
date, the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the business
combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder; (2) on consummation of the transaction that resulted in
the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the
time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number
of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are directors and
also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do
not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to
the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or (3) on or subsequent
to such date, the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and
authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written
consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding
voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
14
Section
203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines “business combination” to
include: (1) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the
interested stockholder; (2) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of
ten percent or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested
stockholder; (3) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in
the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to
the interested stockholder; (4) any transaction involving the corporation that
has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class
or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder;
or (5) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through
the corporation.

Sales
of Unregistered Securities
In May
2010, we granted 100,000 shares of treasury stock to an employee as
compensation. The shares were valued at $4,000 ($0.04 per share). We
did not sell any shares nor did we issue any additional shares for the year
ended October 31, 2010.
During
the year ended October 31, 2009, we sold 3,136,091 shares (which include 909,091
of shares purchased via conversion of a portion of convertible note proceeds
received from our CEO) in a series of private placements for aggregate proceeds
of $435,500 at effective prices ranging between $0.10 and $0.40 per share.
We also issued additional shares as follows: 7,262,500 to acquire selected
assets of Iggys House, Inc., 273,244 to vendors for services, 200,000 shares to
Lantern Advisors, LLC as part of the cost to Webdigs of entering into a
promissory note agreement, 100,000 to acquire assets of the MLSDirect.com,
157,143 to officers of the company in lieu of cash compensation, 50,000 shares
to a new employee as an incentive to join our company , and 150,000 shares to
Webdigs’ CEO as compensation to him for the personal guarantee he offered to
Lantern Advisors, LLC to repay the $250,000 convertible promissory note.
In total, we issued 11,328,978 new shares during the 12 months ended October 31,
2009. In summary:

For these
issuances of common stock, we relied on the exemption from federal registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and, in those instances where
the issuances were made to affiliates or accredited investors, upon Rule 506
promulgated thereunder. In that regard, we relied on Rule 506 based on the fact
that the investors who purchased these securities qualified as an “accredited
investors” under Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933. In all cases,
investors had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such
that they were capable of evaluating the risks of the investment. The securities
offered and sold in the transactions were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.

General
Overview
General
Overview
Our
business as a web-assisted real estate services company has been operational for
slightly greater than three years. We launched our services for buyers and
sellers via Webdigs in October 2007. In May, 2009, we added our second
brand – The MLSDirect.com. In January 2010, we added a third brand to our
portfolio via the launch of IggysHouse.com. Despite the introduction of
Iggyshouse.com and the presence of theMLSDirect.com for a full fiscal year, for
the year ended October 31, 2010, over 94% of our real estate revenue was
produced by our Webdigs brand in our Minnesota and Florida markets.
Unfortunately,
our January 2010 re-launch of Iggys has not proven to be as successful as we had
expected. We re-launched Iggys full of optimism in the future as the “pay
as you go” real estate service for sellers who want to have their home listed on
a local real estate Multiple Listing Service for a minimal monthly fee.
Our confidence caused us to invest a significant sum in our IggysHouse.com
business. However, in the first seven months of operation, from January
2010 through July 2010, Iggyshouse.com generated $2,026 in total revenue.
Without funding specifically designated for Iggyshouse.com, the prospects for
the brand reaching a breakeven point seem dim. As a result of Iggy’s
performance, we took a $1,262,705 impairment charge in July 2010 to adjust the
intangible assets to fair market value as defined by Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). We determined that the net realizable value
of the Iggys assets as of July 31, 2010 was $100,000, which sum was attributable
to the Iggyshouse.com website technology. Due to the significant costs in
operating this website, the Company has for the immediate future chosen to
discontinue using the website. Instead, we are using a low-cost
third-party hosted website to support the operations we currently have with the
Iggys House operations. We are currently reassessing our strategic
alternatives with this business.
Significant
Trends and Uncertainties
Our core
Webdigs business plateaued in the year ended October 31, 2010. We recorded
$441,944 in net sales from business generated under our www.webdigs.com real
estate brand in the 12 months ended October 31, 2010. This represents a
12% drop from the $501,995 revenue we enjoyed in our fiscal year ended October
31, 2009. While this decline is significant, data provided by the
Northstar MLS, the Twin Cities multiple listing service, indicates that the
overall number of real estate closings in the Twin Cities, our largest market,
dropped by over 17% during the same 12-month period. This suggests to us
that our experience was generally consistent in comparison with the general
market.
17
We
believe that our year-over-year revenue will grow in our current fiscal year
thanks to an improved agent compensation plan, and a full offering of
personalized websites for our agents. With renewed efforts towards agent
recruitment, we look to 2011 with excitement and anticipation. These
growth efforts will require additional funding of at least $150,000, subject to
our ability to maintain the support of key executives and patient vendors in
limiting amounts payable to them. Our CEO and CFO have both indicated a
willingness to continue to forgo cash compensation for the time being.
Fortunately, certain vendors to whom we owe large sums of money have also been
allowing us to pursue growth without insisting on current payment.

Consolidated
net revenues for the year ended October 31, 2010 totaled $468,152, representing
a 7% decrease over the $503,777 in net revenues for the year ended October 31,
2009. During fiscal 2010, we closed 104 transactions in
representation of 63 buyers and 41 transactions representing sellers, in
comparison to having closed 131 transactions during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2009. Looked at on a percentage basis, our net real
estate brokerage transactions decreased by 21% for the fiscal year ended October
31, 2009. However, our revenue per transaction went up due to
revised pricing policies (lower cash rebates per transaction and higher fees
charged for a full service listing). As noted above, we remain satisfied with
our performance relative to the market especially in light of our 32% decrease
in selling, general and administrative spending.
We
incurred total selling general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2010 of
$888,102 compared to $1,298,223 for fiscal 2009, a 32% year-to-year
decrease.
18
Selling
expenses consisted of advertising and promotion, information technology,
selling-related compensation expense, depreciation expense, and other general
selling expenses, all of which aggregated to $429,984 for fiscal 2010 compared
to $666,025 for fiscal 2009, a 35% decrease. Fiscal year 2010 marked a
continuation of a turnaround in our marketing focus which we began in the year
ended October 31, 2009. We further moved away from broad advertising
expenses such as billboards, print and TV advertising, and focused on targeted
marketing to consumers who are likely to buy or sell their home in the near
future. Our main vehicle for reaching our target customer was via the use
of internet “adword” marketing. We cut advertising and promotion spending
from $88,311 in the year ended October 31, 2009 to $20,638 for year ended
October 31, 2010. The other critical reductions in achieving the $236,041
selling expense decrease were wages and salaries (down $157,561 to $28,300),
office supplies and other selling expenses (down $46,679 to $29,263) with
smaller reductions in IT support and maintenance ($10,082) and travel
($5,036). The large $157,561 decrease in wages and salaries comes from the
elimination of our only two full-time salaried sales and marketing positions and
the effects of moving our other sales team to a performance-based commission pay
structure in April 2009. In the current fiscal year, there were no salary
expenses for our real estate agents. Finally, we also now fully classify
100% of our CEO’s compensation as general and administrative expense. In
fiscal 2009, 60% of his compensation ($6,000 accrued per month) was classified
as selling expense. It became clear to us in the year ended October
31, 2010 that our CEO and Chairman was fully engaged as CEO directing the entire
day to day operation and setting strategy for us. Originally,
he had expected to have some time to participate directly in some sales and
sales management activities. Our decision to classify 100% of his
compensation as general and administrative expense is based upon these
facts. We achieved the $46,679 in office expense reductions
from drastic cuts to unneeded real estate software subscriptions ($19,474) and
extra discounts totaling $13,582 on payables due from selected
vendors received in the year ended October 31, 2010 for purchases made in the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 or October 31, 2007.
Offsetting
expense reductions in selling expense were small increases of $30,728 in sales
commissions and $16,283 in consulting expense. The sales commission
increases results from the fact that two of the founders of the Company, who
received a fixed salary for the first six months of our prior fiscal year ended
October 31, 2009 were paid sales commissions for the full fiscal year ended
October 31, 2010. The $16,283 increase in consulting fees results
from incurring a full 12 months consulting fee for the contractor who runs our
MLSDirect.com business for $2,500 per month. In the prior fiscal year, he
received this fee for only six months (due to the acquisition occurring in May
2009 – midway through our fiscal year).
We
incurred $458,118 in general and administrative (G&A) expenses for the year
ended October 31, 2010 compared to $632,198 for the year ended October 31, 2009,
representing a $174,080 period-to-period decrease. By far the biggest
factor in the 28% year over year G&A expense decrease was a reduction in
non-cash share based compensation expense of $193,117. In prior years, we
had been accruing expense for restricted share grants made to our company’s
founders in October 2007 and our May 2008 award of stock options to our
non-employee directors. The restricted share grant cost accruals for these
founder grants finished in the prior year and the director option grants
produced only $8,763 expense in our most recent fiscal year ended October 31,
2010. Supporting our cut in non-cash share based compensation costs were
reductions in other professional fees of $98,589, audit fees of $13,398, legal
fees of $10,855. The big element driving the $98,589 decrease in other
professional fees was a $95,000 expense reduction due to the fact that in the
prior fiscal year our grant of restricted shares to investor relations
professionals resulted in a charge to income. In the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2010, we incurred no such expenses.
The
decreases in G&A expense were partially offset by an increase of $148,754 in
wage and salary expense. Of the $148,754 increase, over $84,000 comes from
the switch previously mentioned to record 100% of our CEO’s monthly compensation
as G&A expense. In addition, we employed a full-time degreed
accountant for the entire fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, compared to only
three months last year. No other significant changes in G&A spending
occurred in the year ended October 31, 2010.
Amortization
expense from continuing operations was $755,012 for the year ended October 31,
2010 compared to $193,010 for fiscal 2009. Amortization expense increased
due primarily to the fact that we placed in service all of ssthe different
intangible assets acquired in the Iggyshouse.com (Iggys House, Inc.) purchase in
June 2009 during January 2010. The only significant amortization
that occurred in fiscal 2009 was related to the www.webdigs.com
website.
As noted
above, due to slow sales and difficulties in starting the new IggysHouse.com
revenue model in January 2010, we took a $1,262,705 impairment charge for the
intangible assets related to the June 2009 Iggys House purchase in the year
ended October 31, 2010.
19
For the
year ended October 31, 2010, we recorded interest expense of $643,004.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, we incurred only
$332,139 of interest expense. In a large part, the interest expense
reflects the cost of borrowing $528,500 from our CEO. For the year ended
October 31, 2010 interest expense included a non-cash beneficial conversion
feature amounting to $580,424 as a result of a conversion modification of our
convertible note payable to our CEO. For the year ended October 31, 2010
interest expense included a non-cash beneficial conversion feature amounting to
$580,424 as a result of a conversion modification of our convertible note
payable to the CEO. Of the remaining $62,580 expense, $50,508 was accrued
interest for the convertible note with our CEO. The other $12,072
was vendor interest charges. For fiscal 2009, approximately $311,000 of
the $332,139 total resulted from a convertible promissory note we had issued to
Lantern Advisers, LLC. The remainder of last year’s interest costs, not
related to the Lantern promissory note, came from interest on officer loans,
capital lease, and vendor interest charges.
In
addition to the above-mentioned interest costs related to the convertible
promissory note issued to Lantern Advisors, LLC, in fiscal 2009 we also recorded
a loss on the change in fair value of derivatives and warrants related to the
convertible debt of $63,708. There were no such charges in fiscal 2010
because the Lantern promissory note was paid off prior to October 31,
2009.
For the
year ended October 31, 2009, we also recorded income of $13,279 from our
discontinued joint venture Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC. This
investment was discontinued as of October 26, 2009.
Again for
the year ended October 31, 2009, we recorded a gain of $297,412 on the sale of
our Marquest Financial, Inc., mortgage subsidiary which was partially offset by
operating expenses of $13,003. In total, we recorded income from
discontinued operations of $284,409 for our prior fiscal year.
Assets
and Employees; Research and Development
We do not
anticipate purchasing any significant equipment or other assets in the near term
nor do we anticipate staffing changes at our corporate office. As stated
previously, we are looking at potential strategic alternatives for the
Iggyshouse.com assets. We do expect to add more non-employee
independent real estate agents to represent our www.webdigs.com
brands in the year ahead. We plan no investments in internally developed
website technology.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources; Anticipated Financing Needs
For the
year ended October 31, 2010, we incurred an operating loss from continuing
operations of $2,437,667. These losses funded cash expenses such as
marketing and advertising, business development and sales agent commission in
addition to significant non-cash amortization and asset impairment charges as
discussed above. For the year ended October 31, 2009, our operating losses
from continuing operations were $987,456. In the most recent year ended
October 31, 2010, we funded operating losses primarily through cash of $355,500
received from a convertible note from our CEO. In the prior year ended
October 31, 2009, operating losses were funded through $335,500 in sales of our
Webdigs common stock through private placements, cash proceeds of $226,000
through the issuance of convertible debentures, and $273,000 from a loan from
our Chairman and CEO. As of October 31, 2010, we had $5,236 of cash and
cash equivalents, and current liabilities of $1,595,617.
On an
aggregate level, cash used in operations was $343,345 for the year ended October
31, 2010 and $431,758 for the same period last year. Offsetting the
operating loss for the year ended October 31, 2010 were various non-cash
expenses for depreciation, amortization, beneficial conversion feature charges,
impairment charges and share-based compensation. For the year ended
October 31, 2010, these non-cash items totaled $2,635,015. For the year
ended October 31, 2010, we were able to make progress on reducing balances owed
to key vendors, thereby using $143,709 of cash for a reduction in accounts
payable. In the prior year ended October 31, 2009, we used $71,780 in cash
to reduce accounts payable. As we continued to conserve cash, our CEO and
CFO have accepted to defer the cash element of their payroll. This
resulted in an increase in accrued expenses of $161,219. We
also have agreed with our CEO to accrue the monthly interest on his convertible
note with the Company. This loan, for which we accrued $50,508 in interest
for the year ended October 31, 2010, is the main factor behind the increase in
cash flow from other liabilities of $48,231.
20
Cash
outflows from investing activities were $21,760 in the year ended October 31,
2010 compared to $182,025 for the same period last year. Our only
investments in the year ended October 31, 2010 was third party contracted
software development for our IggysHouse.com website. For the year ended
October 31, 2009, our major investments were payments of $160,005 in connection
with the purchase of Iggys House Inc. intangible assets and $22,080 used for web
development of the IggysHouse.com website. We also used $5,000
for the business acquisition of the MLSDirect.com. In the prior
year, we also received proceeds of $5,064 from the dissolution of the
Marketplace Home Mortgage – Webdigs joint venture.
Financing
activities provided $334,318 and $612,000 for the years ended October 31, 2010
and 2009, respectively. For the current fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, we
generated $355,500 in loan proceeds from our CEO. We also were able to
reduce balances due to our officers by $16,986. In the prior fiscal
year ended October 31, 2009, we generated $335,500 from common stock issuances
and $226,000 from a promissory note we issued in December 2008. Our CEO
convertible note provided $273,000 in cash during the fiscal year ended October
31, 2009. A substantial portion of the CEO loan proceeds were used to
repay $250,000 on the 2008 promissory note.
Given our
low cash position, our near term focus in fiscal 2011 continues to be to create
positive operating cash flow from our web-assisted real estate brokerage (our
Webdigs brand). We strive in the current year to add revenues while
holding expenses relatively flat. We believe that our new agent friendly
compensation plan, and enhanced website tools for our agents will help produce
more revenue without extensive outlays of cash. We also have moved from
operating with internally developed websites to sites that are developed and
hosted by third parties. We expect this change will have a significantly
positive effect on our expenses without compromising our technology and customer
service. We believe that we will be able to fund operations for the
current fiscal with minimal cash infusions. We are working hard to put
plans in place to generate positive operating cash flow on a monthly basis prior
to the end of our current fiscal year ending October 31, 2011, and believe that
we will need at least $120,000 (in addition to the $30,000 we obtained in
November 2010 through the issuance of a convertible note) of additional
financing to allow us to complete the current year with sufficient operating
capital.
Certain
vendors have been inquiring about when to expect past due payments in the past
12 months. The cash requirements mentioned above assumes that these
vendors will continue to work with us patiently to allow our business to operate
until we generate sufficient cash to settle past balances. In most cases,
we do not have an express agreement with vendors on the exact timing of expected
payment of past due invoices. Therefore, it is possible that a vendor may
demand payment or refuse to provide services that are critical to the ability of
the Company to either continue to operate or to timely file required reports
with the SEC. If any such risk materializes, it would possibly decrease
our likelihood of obtaining financing on terms acceptable to us, if at
all. In addition, if we fail to reach sales revenue objectives (for any
reason, including due to continued poor real estate and credit market conditions
beyond our control), additional financing may not be available on terms
favorable to us, if at all.
If
additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, such as
through the issuance and exercise of common stock, then existing stockholders
will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are
raised by the issuance of debt or other types of (typically preferred) equity
instruments, then we may be subject to certain limitations in our
operations. Issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of
the then existing holders of our common stock. If adequate funds are not
available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund
expansion, develop or enhance products or respond to competitive
pressures.
Given the
financing needs of the Company’s business, as conducted under its three separate
brands, the Company is actively reviewing possible strategic alternatives for
some or all of its brands with a view to (i) presenting a clearer business and
financial picture to potential financiers, thereby increasing the likelihood of
obtaining financing, (ii) diminishing the chance of liabilities of one brand
adversely affecting another, and, ultimately, (iii) providing increased
shareholder value.
21
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate these estimates on an on-going
basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. Our significant estimates are determining some of the
inputs for our stock option fair value calculation and assessing the valuation
allowance for income taxes.
We
consider the following accounting policies to be those most important to the
portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition:
Revenue
Recognition. Real estate brokerage revenues are recognized at the
closing of a real estate transaction. Commissions and rebates due to third
party real estate agents or clients are accrued at the time of closing and
treated as an offset to gross revenues.
Income Taxes. The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to
financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred
tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an
asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial
statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates
expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds
received, as provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax
payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in
deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company has
recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of
October 31, 2010 and 2009 because realization of those assets is not reasonably
assured.
The
Company will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only
after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not
sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the
more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial
statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax
authority.
The
Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be
sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals
for interest and penalties has been recorded at October 31, 2010 and
2009.
Share-Based
Compensation. The Company accounts for stock incentive plans by
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards
based on estimated fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based
compensation expense recognized for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009
includes compensation cost for restricted stock awards and stock options.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair
value of options granted as of the grant date.
Intangible
Assets. We have two types of intangible assets:
Website
Development
The
primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate brokerage
operation is the Webdigs.com website. Certain costs incurred in
development of this website have been capitalized. Amortization is on a
straight-line method over the estimated three year useful life of the
website. As of October 31, 2010, the Company’s principal www.webdigs.com
website has been fully amortized and the Iggyshouse.com website technology,
which is not currently being used, is being held at an estimated fair value of
$100,000 with no monthly amortization.
Website Domain
Names
The
Company capitalizes the fair value of website domain names acquired through
business combinations or asset acquisitions. The Company purchased 17
domain names in 17 states in May 2009 from theMLSDirect.com and are amortizing
these names over a 2 year estimated useful life.
22
The
Company reviews the carrying values of its intangible asset whenever facts and
circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to
future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an
asset is considered impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount the asset exceeds the fair value.
Commissions and Fees
Receivable. Real estate commissions and fees receivable are
recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect from real estate
transactions closed. These receivables represent brokerage commission
balances due the Company from clients or listing real estate brokerages and
usually are settled within 1 to 10 days after closing.
The
Company reviews the outstanding receivables on a monthly basis and receivables
are considered past due when payment has not been received 30 days after a
transaction closes. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts
through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its
assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are
still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are
written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit
to receivables. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant
losses related to receivables from individual customers. At October 31,
2010 and 2009, the Company considers its accounts receivable to be fully
collectible and therefore, has not recorded an allowance for doubtful
accounts.
Office Equipment and
Fixtures. Office equipment and fixtures are recorded at cost.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and
betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold
or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.
Depreciation
is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets as follows:
Office
equipment
|
2
to 5 years
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
3
to 7 years
|
Segment
Information
The
Company operates and manages the business under one reporting
segment.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820). ASU 2010-06 provides additional disclosure
requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009,
except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in
the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.
Disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods
within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The portion of
ASU 2010-06 that was effective beginning after December 15, 2009 did not
have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company. Additionally, the Company does not anticipate that
the disclosure requirements applicable to Level 3 transactions that are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 will have a
material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.
Seasonality
of Business
The
residential real estate market has traditionally experienced seasonality, with a
peak in the spring and summer seasons and a decrease in activity during the fall
and winter seasons. We expect revenues in each quarter to be significantly
affected by activity during the prior quarter, given the time lag between
contract execution and closing. A typical real estate
transaction has a 30 day lag between contract signing and closing of the
transaction.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Audit Committee, Stockholders and Board of Directors
Webdigs,
Inc.
Minneapolis,
Minnesota
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Webdigs, Inc. as of
October 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Webdigs, Inc. as of October 31,
2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the Company has suffered losses from operations since its inception on May 1,
2007. This factor raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature of
Business
Webdigs,
Inc. (“the Company”), a Delaware corporation, became a public company in October
2007 after a reverse shell transaction with Select Video, Inc. which was
incorporated in Delaware in 1994. Our business is dedicated to web-assisted
residential real estate brokerage services. This is done through our
wholly-owned subsidiary Webdigs, LLC.
All of
the Company’s real estate brokerage operations are operated under Webdigs, LLC.
Webdigs.com is a web-assisted real estate website and brokerage, offering a
similar customer experience as a full service brokerage utilizing a discounted
percentage fee structure for listing services to their selling customers and a
graduated fee structure for their buying customers by rebating up to 1% of the
sale price of the home to the buyer. IggysHouse.com and theMLSDirect.com are
website domains operated by Webdigs, LLC that offer customers the chance to list
their homes through Webdigs, LLC for a flat fee.
Basis of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009
include the accounts of Webdigs, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Webdigs,
LLC, which includes the dormant wholly owned subsidiaries of Home Equity
Advisors, LLC, and Credit Garage, LLC. The consolidated financial statements for
Webdigs, Inc. for the year ended October 31, 2009 also include its former
wholly-owned subsidiary of Marquest Financial Inc. (Marquest). The Company
divested Marquest on June 4, 2009 (see Note 5). The net results from Marquest
have been segregated for all periods presented in the consolidated statement of
operations. Additionally, the Company’s previous investment in Marketplace Home
Mortgage – Webdigs, LLC (49% ownership) was recorded on the equity method. This
unconsolidated joint venture was dissolved on October 26, 2009 (see Note 6). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidation.
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Debt Issuance
Costs
The
Company accounts for debt issuance costs and other debt discounts by amortizing
the amounts using the effective interest method over the term of the related
debt instrument.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
commissions and fees receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes
payable and capital lease obligations. The carrying amounts of such financial
instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the
short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these
instruments.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company
considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid
debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and
cash equivalents.
Commissions and Fees
Receivable
Real
estate commissions and fees receivable are recorded at the amount the Company
expects to collect from real estate transactions closed. These receivables
represent broker commission balances due the Company from clients or listing
real estate brokers and usually are settled within 1 to 10 days after
closing.
The
Company reviews the outstanding receivables on a monthly basis and receivables
are considered past due when payment has not been received 30 days after a
transaction closes. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts
through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its
assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still
outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written
off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to
receivables. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant losses
related to receivables from individual customers. At October 31, 2010 and 2009,
the Company considers its accounts receivable to be fully collectible and
therefore, has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Intangible
Assets
The
Company has two types of intangible assets:
Website
Development
The
primary interface with the customer in our web-assisted real estate broker
operation is the Webdigs.com website. Certain costs incurred in development of
this website have been capitalized. Amortization is on a straight-line method
over the estimated three year useful life of the website. As of October 31,
2010, the Company’s principal www.webdigs.com
website has been fully amortized and the Iggyshouse.com website technology,
which is not currently being used, is being held at a written down estimated
fair value of $100,000 with no monthly amortization.
Website Domain
Names
The
Company capitalizes the fair value of website domain names acquired through
business combinations or asset acquisitions. The Company purchased 17 domain
names in 17 states in May 2009 from theMLSDirect.com and are amortizing these
names over a 2 year estimated useful life.
Office Equipment and
Fixtures
Office
equipment and fixtures are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When
items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in operating income.
Depreciation
is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets as follows:
Office
equipment
|
2
to 5 years
|
|
Furniture
and fixtures
|
3
to 7 years
|
Segment
Reporting
The
Company operates and manages the business under one reporting
segment.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, such as
website development costs, customer lists, non-compete agreements, website
domain names, contractual agreements, furniture and equipment by reviewing for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
The
Company has assessed impairment of its long-lived assets as of July 31, 2010,
and determined that an impairment charge was required (see Note 3). In our
re-assesment as of October 31, 2010, we determined that there was no additional
impairment charge required. The Company will retest for impairment again on
October 31, 2011 or sooner if circumstances change.

Revenue
Recognition
Real
estate brokerage revenues are recognized at the closing of a real estate
transaction. Commissions and rebates due to third party real estate agents or
clients are accrued at the time of closing and treated as an offset to gross
revenues.
Comprehensive Income
(Loss)
Comprehensive
income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other
comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss)
include items such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized
gains and losses on certain marketable securities. For the years ended October
31, 2010 and 2009, there were no adjustments to net loss to arrive at
comprehensive loss.
Accounting for Convertible
Debentures, Warrants and Derivative Instruments
The
Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management
or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts
that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but
that include embedded derivative features.
The
Company accounts for its embedded conversion features and freestanding warrants
that are settled in a company’s own stock to be designated as an equity
instrument, asset, or a liability. A contract designated as an asset or a
liability is carried at fair value on a Company’s
balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in the results of
operations.
The
Company accounts for certain warrants to purchase common stock and embedded
conversion options as liabilities at fair value and the unrealized changes in
the values of these derivatives are recorded in the statement of operations as
“gain or loss on warrants and derivatives”. Contingent conversion features that
reduce the conversion price of warrants and conversion features are included in
the valuation of the warrants and the conversion features. The recognition of
the fair value of derivative liabilities (i.e. warrants and embedded conversion
options) at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The
excess fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is
recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of operations as interest
expense. The value of warrants or derivatives associated with a debt instrument
is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument. This discount
is amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest
method. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of
the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has
been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification
and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.

The
Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine fair values of its
derivatives. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal
verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest
rates, exchange rates, and option volatilities. Selection of these inputs
involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (loss). The fair value
of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of
the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the bid price of the
Company’s stock at the balance sheet date, the amount of shares converted by
note holders and/or exercised by warrant holders, and changes in the
determination of market-sourced inputs. Consequently, the Company’s financial
position and results of operations may vary materially from quarter-to-quarter
based on conditions other than its operating revenues and expenses.
As of
October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no remaining derivatives recorded on
its balance sheet.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to
financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax
assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an
asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial
statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined using the tax rates expected to
be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as
provided under currently enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable,
respectively, for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and
liabilities during the period. The Company has recorded a full valuation
allowance for its net deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2010 and 2009
because realization of those assets is not reasonably assured.
The
Company will recognize a financial statement benefit of a tax position only
after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not
sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the
more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial
statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax
authority.
The
Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be
sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals
for interest and penalties has been recorded at October 31, 2010 and
2009.

Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock incentive plans by measurement and recognition of
compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values,
net of estimated forfeitures. Share-based compensation expense recognized for
the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 includes compensation cost for
restricted stock awards and stock options. The Company uses the Black- Scholes
option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted as of the
grant date.
Advertising
The
Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to
$20,638 and $88,312 for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Concentrations, Risks and
Uncertainties
Instability
of the Housing Sector in the Company’s Regional Markets:
The
Company’s operations are concentrated within the real estate brokerage industry
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Florida and its prospects for success are tied
indirectly to interest rates and the general housing and business climates in
these regions.
Cash
Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits:
The
Company maintains cash balances at three financial institutions. Accounts at
each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at
varying amounts. At times, the cash balances in these accounts may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts and believes they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on
cash and cash equivalents.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820). ASU 2010-06 provides additional disclosure requirements
related to fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Disclosure requirements
applicable to Level 3 transactions are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with
early adoption permitted. The portion of ASU 2010-06 that was effective
beginning after December 15, 2009 did not have a material effect on the
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Additionally, the Company does not anticipate that the disclosure requirements
applicable to Level 3 transactions that are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2010 will have a material effect on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

GOING
CONCERN
|
The
Company has incurred significant operating losses for the years ended October
31, 2010 and 2009. At October 31, 2010, the Company reports a negative working
capital position of $1,575,521, and an accumulated deficit of $6,879,434. It is
management’s opinion that these facts raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional debt or
equity financing.
In order
to meet its working capital needs through the next twelve months, the Company
plans to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional shares of
common stock and debt through private placements. Although we intend to obtain
additional financing to meet our cash needs, we may be unable to secure any
additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.
The Company began reducing operating expenditures during the year ended October
31, 2008 and has continued with further expense reductions in the years ended
October 31, 2009 and 2010. The Company is hopeful that it can increase revenues
through its existing Webdigs.com customer base in the upcoming fiscal year. The
Company is also potentially looking at other strategic alternatives for its
three business units.

FIXED
ASSETS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
|
On June
12, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Iggys House,
Inc. (Iggys House) to acquire selected assets of Iggys House in consideration of
$150,000 in cash and the issuance of 7,262,500 shares of Webdigs common stock to
the former owners of Iggys House. Iggys House was a dormant entity that
previously had operated as a web-assisted real estate broker in 38 states. The
transaction was determined not to be a business combination and therefore was
accounted for as an asset purchase. In connection with this transaction, the
Company incurred legal costs of $10,005.
The
Company calculated total consideration given for the asset purchase at
$1,975,630 using a per share fair value of $0.25 for the 7,262,500 ($1,815,625)
issued as part of the transaction, the $150,000 in cash paid, and legal costs of
$10,005. The Company allocated the fair value of the purchase consistent with
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures. The fair values of the assets acquired were valued internally by
the Company based upon numerous methods including discounted cash flows,
annualized revenues and original costs.

Since the
Company’s purchase of the Iggys House assets, the Company has experienced
limited revenue from the IggysHouse.com website since it went live on January 6,
2010. A continued lack of growth from this website has resulted in the Company’s
management evaluating the intangible assets acquired from IggysHouse.com with
respect to future financial results and cash flows. As a result of this review,
the Company’s management determined that the fair value and future undiscounted
cash flows were less than their carrying value. The fair value of the Iggys
House software assets originally capitalized at $1,336,041 as of the June 9,
2009 acquisition date was reduced to $100,000 during the year ended October 31,
2010. All other intangible assets acquired as part of the Iggys House
acquisition were fully impaired in the year ended October 31, 2010. As a result,
the Company recognized a total impairment charge of $1,251,455 during the year
ended October 31, 2010 for the Iggys House intangible assets.
A
separate impairment test for the intangible assets acquired in the May 2009
acquisition of theMLSDirect.com (see Note 4), also produced an impairment charge
of $11,250. The Company’s re-evaluation of the 17 affiliate broker relationships
acquired as part of the acquisition revealed that none of the 17 affiliates were
acting as brokers for the MLSDirect.com as of July 31, 2010.

ACQUISITION
|
The
Company acquired the intangible assets, including a series of exclusive website
domain names and operations from the owners of theMLSDirect.com on May 13, 2009.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price
was allocated to the assets acquired based on the estimated fair values
determined by the Company’s management based upon information then currently
available and on assumptions as to future operations. The Company gave
consideration consisting of $5,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of restricted
common stock to complete the transaction. The share issuance was valued at $0.47
per common share based upon the quoted OTC Bulletin Board price on the date of
closing for a total share value of $47,000. The business operations of
theMLSDirect.com have been integrated into the existing Webdigs, LLC operating
entity.
The total
purchase consideration of $52,000 was allocated to the acquired identifiable
intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.
The Company used internally estimated replacement costs to determine the fair
values of the assets acquired. The estimated allocation of the purchase
consideration was as follows:

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS

On June
4, 2009, the Company sold its 100% equity interest in Marquest Financial, Inc.,
a non-operating entity at the time which, until August 2008, had been the
Company’s principal mortgage brokerage operation, back to its former owner and
founder.
Marquest
was sold back to its founder, Mr. Edward Graca for 1,063,628 shares of the
Company’s common stock which was fair valued at $0.25 per share which took into
account the large number of shares involved compared to the average trading
volume. The shares had a total value of $265,907 and the net carrying value of
the Marquest entity was a negative $31,505 at the date of closing. Accordingly,
the transaction resulted in a gain of $297,412. The shares received by the
Company were the shares provided to Mr. Graca back when it was originally
purchased from him in October 2007 and included shares earned through a stock
compensation arrangement. As of the closing date, there were 240,970 shares of
unvested common stock remaining under this compensation arrangement and those
were forfeited as part of this transaction. The shares returned in this
divestiture were retained by the Company as treasury stock.

INVESTMENT
IN MARKETPLACE HOME MORTGAGE – WEBDIGS,

On August
1, 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Marketplace

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
Company accounts for income taxes taking into account deferred tax assets and
liabilities which represent the future tax consequences of the differences
between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus
the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. 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. The impact of tax rate changes
on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year the change is
enacted.
The
provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following for the years
ended October 31, 2010 and 2009:

In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will
be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon
the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those
temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded
a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not
currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets
will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable
could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during
the carryforward period are increased.
The
Company has a total net operating loss carryforward of approximately $3,064,000
of which expires beginning in 2028 through 2030. Under the Internal Revenue Code
Section 382 (IRC 382), certain stock transactions which significantly change
ownership, including the sale of stock to new investors, the exercise of options
to purchase stock, or other transactions between shareholders could limit the
amount of net operating loss carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual
basis to offset taxable income in future periods.
The
Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31,
2010 and 2009. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. To
the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax
positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the
overall income tax provision. The Company recorded no interest and penalties
during the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company is subject to U.S.
federal tax examinations by tax authorities for all tax years since inception
(May 1, 2007). The Company is open to state tax audits until the applicable
statute of limitations expires.

Stock
Options
|
In May
2008, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of incentive stock options
totaling 600,000 shares to its non-employee directors. The exercise price of the
options to purchase common stock was at the fair market value of such shares on
the date of the grant. Options generally become exercisable ratably on the
anniversary of the date of the grant over a period of up to 2 years. There are
no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for any outstanding
options. Vesting for all outstanding options is based solely on continued
service as a director of the Company and vest one-half on the grant date and
one-quarter on each of the next two yearly anniversaries of the grant. Options
to purchase shares expire not later than five years after the grant of the
option. An additional 200,000 options were granted to a new director on October
31, 2009 under the same 2 year vesting period.
In
October 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 200,000
non-qualified stock options to an employee of the Company. The options were
issued on October 31, 2009 and shall vest annually (50,000 options each) on each
of the four anniversary dates of the granting of the options. The exercise price
of the shares purchased under these options shall be $0.25 per share. The
options will expire five years after the original grant date.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option grants over the
requisite service period for vesting of the award. Total stock-option
compensation expense included in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 was $8,763 and $25,738,
respectively. This expense is included in general and administrative expense.
The compensation expense had less than a $0.01 per share impact on the basic
loss per common share for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. As of
October 31, 2010, the Company had $1,562 of unrecognized compensation expense
related to the outstanding stock options, which will be recognized over a
weighted average period of 9 months.
The fair
value of each option grant was estimated as of the date of the grant using the
Black-Scholes pricing model. The resulting compensation expense is amortized on
a straight line basis over the vesting period of the grant. The expected term of
the options granted is determined utilizing an average of public company proxies
with similar grants as the Company does not have sufficient option exercise
history from its employees/directors. Likewise, as the Company has only limited
public trading history, the expected volatility rate used is also determined
from an average of public company proxies in the same industry and business
operations as the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on US Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Expected pre-vesting option
forfeitures are estimated to be zero based on the small population of the
individuals who have options, and the nature of the positions held by those
individuals.

Accounts Payable – Minority
Stockholder
The
Company’s principal advertising agency/website developer was owed $583,708 and
$562,858 at October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The two principals of this
advertising company are also minority stockholders in the Company – holding
approximately 1.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares at October 31, 2010. For
the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred $70,850 and
$152,652 in services and rent from this related party,
respectively.
Included
in the $70,850 and $152,652 are $42,000 in office rent expense for the Company
for each of the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company informally
rents office space for its headquarters and real estate operation in Minneapolis
from the related party on a month to month basis. The Company is currently in
negotiations with the website developer to settle this debt with cash and some
form of the Company’s equity.
Due to
Officers
As of
October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, the Company was indebted to its officers
for amounts totaling $8,345 and $25,331, respectively, for unreimbursed business
expenses. All of the indebtedness represents non-interest bearing payables due
on demand.
Convertible Note Payable –
Officer/Stockholder
During
the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company borrowed $355,500 from its CEO
under a
convertible promissory note accruing interest at an annual rate of 12%. At
October 31, 2010 and 2009, the balances due under this note were $528,500 and
$173,000, respectively. On October 12, 2010, these notes were modified to allow
the CEO to convert to the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share instead of a
previous conversion price of $0.11. This modification resulted in a beneficial
conversion charge to interest expense of $580,424 because the stock was trading
at $0.03 on that date. For the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, the
Company incurred $630,932 and $1,416 of interest expense in connection with this
note, respectively. Accrued interest included in accrued expenses due under the
note as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 was $51,924 and $1,416, respectively. The
accrued interest is also convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.01
per share.

BASIC
AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

The
Company computes earnings per share under two different methods, basic and
diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of
operations are presented. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common stock and common stock equivalent shares
outstanding.

Private Placement
Loan
In
November 2010, the Company entered into a $30,000 loan agreement with a private
investor which has a maturity date of June 30, 2012. The loan will accrue
interest at a rate of 12% per annum. In addition to interest, the lender will be
permitted to convert the note into the Company’s common stock at a price of
$0.01 per share. Since the permitted conversion price is lower than the $.02
market price of the Company’s shares at the time of the loan agreement, the
Company will recognize and record an additional beneficial conversion feature
charge in its consolidated statement of operations of approximately $30,000 for
the fiscal year 2011.
Convertible Note Payable to
Officer/Shareholder
During
the period from November 1, 2010 to December 15, 2010, the Company repaid its
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer $29,000 of the convertible note payable
held on its consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2010.

9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of October 31, 2010 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on
this evaluation and taking into account that certain material weaknesses existed
as of October 31, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective. As a result of this conclusion, the financial statements for
the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K were prepared with
particular attention to the material weaknesses previously disclosed.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in internal controls that continue to
exist as of October 31, 2010, we have concluded that the financial statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP).
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), is a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and
effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
|
•
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
|
|
•
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
|
|
•
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter
how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation.
25
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of October 31, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management
has re-evaluated the control deficiencies identified in the prior fiscal
year.
Here is
an update to the control deficiencies identified last year.
(1)
|
In
2009, we recognized our small size and single person financial department
as a weakness that prohibited segregation of duties. We
now have had a full year working with our second full-time professional
accountant. This enables some segregation of duties on material
matters related to cash management.
|
(2)
|
We
have had some minor GAAP adjustments made to our interim financial
statements, although in reduced instances from prior years. We did
have a significant audit adjustment made at the year-end for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 2010.
|
Despite
the improvements in our control deficiencies as compared to last year, we still
conclude that, as of October 31, 2010, our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective based on the criteria in “Internal
Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO. We intend to further improve
our internal controls in our current fiscal year and add additional measures to
further mitigate our material internal control weaknesses as the Company grows
assuming our operating funds are sufficient.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC to
provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended
October 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management has concluded that the material weaknesses in internal control as
described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended October 31,
2010 have not been fully remediated.

Biographies
for the members of our Board of Directors and our management team are set forth
below:
Robert A. Buntz, Jr., has
served as a director of the Company, including Webdigs, LLC, since inception in
May 2007. Mr. Buntz has been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years and a real
estate broker for more than 25. In 1981, Mr. Buntz developed the award-winning
Bluefin Bay on Lake Superior, Tofte, Minnesota, and operated that resort until
2007. Among his achievements, Mr. Buntz’s development company donated the land,
time and funding to help create the North Shore Commercial Fishing Museum, and
Mr. Buntz created and developed one of the first rural affordable housing
projects, Tofte Homestead. From 1984 through 2006, and while he was
simultaneously operating Bluefin Bay, Mr. Buntz was the owner and operator of
Tofte Land Co., Inc., a real estate holding and brokerage firm. He now has more
than 25 years of hospitality experience as an owner-operator of destination
properties.
Mr. Buntz
has served on the board of directors of the Explore Minnesota Tourism Council
and the (Minnesota) Governor’s Tourism Advisory Committee for more than 15
years. Currently, Mr. Buntz is a board member and past-chair of the board
of the American Museum of Asmat Art. Mr. Buntz received the (Minnesota)
Governor’s Entrepreneurship Award from Governor Rudy Perpich and the Outstanding
Individual in Tourism Award from Governor Jesse Ventura. He is a graduate
of Grinnell College.
Joseph Fox was appointed as a
director of the Company on July 7, 2009. Back in the mid 1990s, Mr. Fox
identified the internet as a tool that would level the playing field for
consumers in the stock brokerage industry. He, along with brother Avi,
created Web Street Securities, a highly successful on-line investment brokerage
company. Web Street became a publicly traded company in 1999 before
merging with E*Trade Financial Group in 2001. In 2005, Mr. Fox’s desire to
leverage the internet to empower consumers in their financial decision making
process resulted in the forming of Iggys House Realty, Inc. (Iggys House and
Buyside Realty), where he served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Iggy's goal was to capture the power of the internet to facilitate consumers to
manage their own real estate sales and purchases, thereby saving themselves
thousands of dollars on commissions on their transactions. Iggys’
web-assisted real estate brokerage operated in 38 states within 2 years of its
startup.
Donald Miller was appointed
as a director of the Company on July 7, 2009. Mr. Miller worked
almost forty years at Schwan's Inc, primarily as CFO. During his
tenure, Schwan's grew from a small local home-delivery dairy service to a
multi-billion dollar consumer packaged goods giant. Throughout his
employment, he was involved in all of the acquisitions and divestitures of the
company. He currently serves as chairman of the finance committee at
Schwan's, as well as serving on the audit and risk committees. He is
also Chairman of the Board of Multiband Corp. In 2008, Mr. Miller was appointed
to the Board of Directors of FoodShacks, Inc.
27
Steven Sjoblad was appointed
as a director of the Company on October 25, 2007. Steve Sjoblad has more

advertising agencies, where he guided global strategy and marketing programs for
industry leaders and has worked in virtually every consumer and
business-to-business category (1981-1999). From 2001 through 2003, Mr.
Sjoblad ran Global Consumer Services for Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE: FIC),
originated the myFICO.com business and ran the Fair Isaac Marketing Services
business, transforming it into a “precision marketing
unit.” Additionally, he was a member of the Fair Isaac Executive
Committee and held the position of Chief Marketing Officer. From 2003
through 2006, Mr. Sjoblad worked as an independent business consultant. Since
2006, Mr. Sjoblad has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Captira Analytical, a software, data and analytics firm serving the criminal
justice vertical market based in Albany, NY. Mr. Sjoblad is also Chairman
of uBid.com (UBHI.OB), an online retailer, a board member of Schwan’s Foods, a

(2001-2002). Mr. Wicker also founded KMR Designs in 2002, which was a
niche supplier of ultra high performance custom winter accessories supplying
people who worked and played outdoors for long periods at below-zero
temperatures. Prior to these positions, Mr. Wicker had a long career at
personal care products maker Coty, Inc., where he served in several senior
finance executive positions. His final ten years with Coty were spent in
Europe, where he served as VP of Finance at Spanish and UK subsidiaries, as well
as controller of Coty’s global operations division. Prior to Europe, Mr.
Wicker served as finance director of Coty’s then sister company—Reckitt
Benckiser US Consumer Products Division. Prior to working at Reckitt, he
began his career at Ecolab, where he worked in internal audit and financial
analyst positions. Mr. Wicker holds undergraduate and MBA degrees from the
University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. Mr. Wicker is a

The
amounts shown are the aggregate grant date fair values of these awards
computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
guidance now codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) FASB
ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” (formerly under FASB Statement No.
123(R)). The assumptions and methodologies used to calculate these amounts
are discussed in Note 9 in the Notes to Financial Statements contained
elsewhere in this Annual Report. The SEC’s disclosure rules previously
required that we present stock award and option award information for
fiscal 2009 based on the amount recognized during the corresponding year
for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to these awards
(which meant, in effect, that in any given year we could recognize for
financial statement reporting purposes amounts with respect to grants made
in that year as well as with respect to grants from past years that vested
in or were still vesting during that year). However, recent changes in the
SEC’s disclosure rules require that we now present the stock award and
option award amounts in the applicable columns in the table above with
respect to fiscal 2009 on a similar basis as the fiscal 2010 presentation
using the grant date fair value of the awards granted during the
corresponding year, regardless of the period over which the awards are
scheduled to vest. Since this requirement differs from the SEC’s past
disclosure rules, the amounts reported in the table above for stock awards
and option awards for fiscal 2009 differ from the amounts previously
reported in our Summary Compensation Table for that year. As a result, to
the extent applicable, each named executive officer’s total compensation
amount for fiscal 2009 may differ from the amount previously reported in
our Summary Compensation Table for that
year.

Employment
Agreements with Executives and Key Personnel
We do not
currently have an employment agreement with Mr. Buntz. Nevertheless, our
wholly owned operating subsidiary, Webdigs, LLC, is party to a Members Services
Agreement with Mr. Buntz. In that agreement, Mr. Buntz has agreed not to
compete against Webdigs for a period of one year following any termination of
service, regardless of the reason for such termination, and has also agreed to
customary confidentiality and invention-assignment provisions. The Member
Services Agreement with Mr. Buntz provides that Mr. Buntz be paid an annual
salary of $120,000 for the year ended October 31, 2009. In October 2010,
Mr. Buntz’s annual salary was adjusted from $120,000 to $96,000. We anticipate
no change in compensation for the current fiscal year 2011 which began on
November 1, 2010.
We have
also entered into a Member Services Agreements with Mr. Edward Wicker, our Chief
Financial Officer through our wholly owned operating subsidiary, Webdigs,
LLC. In the Member Services Agreements we agreed to pay Mr.
Wicker an annual salary of $60,000, and Mr. Wicker agreed
not to compete against Webdigs for a period of one year following any
termination of service, regardless of the reason for such termination, and has
also agreed to customary confidentiality and invention-assignment
provisions. In October 2010, Mr. Wicker’s annual salary was adjusted from
$60,000 to $84,000. We anticipate no change in compensation for Mr. Wicker
for fiscal year 2011.
Currently,
the Company does not offer any executive bonus or incentive compensation plan
and there are no plans to put one in place for fiscal year 2011.
Outstanding
Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
There
were no outstanding equity awards for the executives as of October 31,
2010.
Director
Compensation
Our
non-employee directors have elected to forego any cash compensation for
participating in Board of Directors and committee meetings telephonically until
such time as we become profitable over the course of an entire fiscal year, at
which time the Board of Directors may reconsider the structure of its director
compensation. In general, director compensation will be subject to review and
adjustment from time to time at the discretion of our Board of
Directors.
In
October 2009, we granted options to a non-employee director; Donald Miller. Mr.
Miller was appointed as a director of the Company in July 2009, and as a means
to induce him to join our Board of Directors, he was granted 200,000 stock
options with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The estimated fair value of
these options was $8,321. 75% of the options were vested as of October 30,
2010, with the remaining rights scheduled to vest on July 07, 2011. The
options will expire on October 30, 2013.

the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to
options or warrants (or similar purchase rights) held by that person that
are presently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days
hereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other
person. As a result of the application of these SEC rules, the
number of shares reflected in the table exceeds the number of shares
outstanding as of the date of this
filing.

Director
Independence
The Board
of Directors is comprised of one-half “independent” directors as defined in Rule
4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The independent directors are identified
by name in the chart that appears in the “Management and Board of Directors”
section of this filing.
Our Board
of Directors has an Audit Committee consisting of a member who is independent as
