NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and
Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description
of Business
Worlds.com
Inc. (the "Company") designs and develops software content and related
technologies for the creation of interactive, three-dimensional ("3D") Internet
sites on the World Wide Web. Using in-house patented and proprietary technology
the Company creates its own Internet sites, as well as sites available through
third party on-line service providers.
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US
GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of us as a going concern. We have always
been considered a developmental stage business, have incurred significant losses
since our inception and have not always had significant revenues from
operations. We will require substantial additional funds for development and
marketing of our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain the substantial additional capital resources necessary to pursue our
business plan or that any assumptions relating to our business plan will prove
to be accurate. We have not been able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain
additional financing which has had a material adverse effect on us, including
requiring us to severely diminish operations in recent years and at times
halting them entirely. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. We have been operating at a significantly
reduced capacity in recent years with no full time employees and performing
primarily consulting services and licensing software using consultants to
perform any work that may be required.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market instruments which
have original maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase.
Property
and Equipment
Net
property and equipment owned by us as of June 30, 2008 total
$10,843.
Income
Recognition
We have
the following sources of revenue: (1) consulting/licensing revenue from the
performance of development work performed on our behalf or from the sale of
certain software to third parties; and (2) VIP subscriptions to our Worlds
Ultimate 3-D Chat service.
Deferred
revenue represents cash payments received in advance to be recorded as licensing
revenue as earned.
Income
Taxes
We use
the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are recognized based on the temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax bases of assets, liabilities and net operating loss
carry forwards using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established,
when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Notes
Payable
We have
no long term or short term notes outstanding at June 30, 2008.
As part
of a debt refinancing in 2000, $631,950 of debt was renegotiated to deferred
revenue representing future services to be provided by us.
Commitments
and Contingencies
During
2000, we were involved in a lawsuit relating to unpaid consulting services. On
March 20, 2001 a judgment against us was rendered for approximately $205,000. As
of June 30, 2008, we recorded a reserve of $205,000 for this lawsuit, which is
included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.
During
2003, a law firm obtained a judgment against us for unpaid legal fees and other
debt in the aggregate amount of $182,075. During the first quarter of 2008 we
settled the dispute by issuing common stock in settlement of the
debt.
Impairment
of Long Lived Assets
We review
the carrying value of long-lived assets to determine if circumstances exist
indicating whether there has been any impairment of the carrying value of
property and equipment or whether the depreciation periods should be modified.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be
fully recoverable. As of the date of the financial statements, we have no long
lived assets.
6
NOTE 2 -
GOING CONCERN
From
mid-2001 through most of 2007, we had to significantly curtail and at times
cease operations due to lack of resources. The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Since its
inception, we had periods wherewe had only minimal revenues from operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the substantial
additional capital resources necessary to pursue our business plan or that any
assumptions relating to our business plan will prove to be accurate. We are
pursuing sources of additional financing and there can be no assurance that any
such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at
all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will likely have a material
adverse effect on us, including possibly requiring us to reduce and/or cease
operations.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3 –
Deferred Revenue
Deferred
revenue represents advance payments for the license, the design and development
of the software, content and related technology for the creation of an
interactive, three-dimensional ("3D") entertainment portal on the
internet.

Operations
Forward
Looking Statements
When used
in this form 10-Q and in future filings by the Company with the Commission, the
words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend," "may," "plan," "predict," "project," "will" or similar expressions are
intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements,
each of which speak only as of the date made. Such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or
projected. The Company has no obligation to publicly release the
result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to
reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the
date of such statements.
These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different. These
factors include, but are not limited to, changes that may occur to general
economic and business conditions; changes in current pricing levels that we can
charge for our services or which we pay to our suppliers and business partners;
changes in political, social and economic conditions in the jurisdictions in
which we operate; changes to regulations that pertain to our operations; changes
in technology that render our technology relatively inferior, obsolete or more
expensive compared to others; foreign currency fluctuations; changes
in the business prospects of our business partners and customers; increased
competition, including from our business partners; delays in the delivery of
broadband capacity to the homes and offices of persons who use our services;
general disruptions to Internet service; and the loss of customer faith in the
Internet as a means of commerce. Additional risk factors pertaining to our
business and the value of our stock is contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is available for review at no
charge at www.sec.gov.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes which are included under Item 1.
We do not
undertake to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect
future events or circumstances.
Overview
General
Worlds.com is
a leading 3D entertainment portal which leverages its proprietary
technology to offer visitors a network of virtual, multi-user environments which
we call "worlds". These worlds are visually engaging online environments
featuring animation, motion and content where people can come together and, by
navigating through the website, shop, interact with others, attend events and be
entertained.
Sites
using our technology allow numerous simultaneous visitors to enter, navigate and
share interactive "worlds". Our 3D Internet sites are designed to promote
frequent, repeat and prolonged visitation by users by providing them with unique
online communities featuring dynamic graphics, highly useful and entertaining
information content, and interactive capabilities. We believe that our sites are
highly attractive to advertisers because they offer access to
demographic-specific user bases comprised of people that visit the site
frequently and stay for relatively long periods of time.
Starting
in mid-2001 we were not able to generate enough revenue to sustain full
operations and other sources of capital were not available. As a result, we have
had to significantly curtail our operations since that time and at times halt
them all together.
Revenues
We
generated significantly increased revenue during the quarter as we
have begun ramping up operations which have been in quasi hibernation
since mid-2001. The revenue that was generated was generated in the following
manner:
·
|
VIP
subscriptions to our Worlds Ultimate 3-D Chat service;
and
|
·
|
Software
development to provide and pilot a Demo site for a 3-D
world.
|
7
Expenses
We
classify our expenses into two broad groups:
o cost
of revenues; and
o selling,
general and administration.
During
the quarter, our operations became more active so our expenses
increased.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We have
had to severely diminish our operations from mid-since 2001 until the last half
of 2007 due to a lack of liquidity. We were able to issue equity in the last
year and raise capital that will help us to be better positioned to compete for
new business. We continue to pursue additional sources of capital. We have no
current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing and
there can be no assurance that any such financing would become
available. If we cannot start to generate sufficient revenues, we may
need to halt operations.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Our net
revenues for each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $777 and
$1,470, respectively. Our net revenues for each of the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007 were $91,876 and $3,024, respectively. Management believes that
this increase was due to the software development project in 2008 to provide a
demo 3-D world for a client. While this amount of business from operations is
still relatively inconsequential, we believe it is indicative of our recent
awakening and return to active operations.
Three
and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three and six months ended June
30, 2007
Revenue
decreased by $693, to $777 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $1,470
in the prior year. Revenue increased by $88,852 to $91,876 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 from $3,024 in the prior year. The business has been running
in a severely diminished mode due to the lack of liquidity during the comparable
quarters in 2007. We expect increased, though not necessarily
sufficient, operating results until such time that we can raise a sufficient
amount of capital to provide the resources required that would enable us to
generate significant sales.
Our cost
of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are primarily
comprised of (1) cost of goods sold: greater than 100% and -0-%, respectively,
and (2) selling general and administrative expenses: greater than 100% and
greater than 100%, respectively. Cost of sales on a consolidated basis increased
$30,771 to $30,771 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $-0- in the
three months ended March 31, 2007, reflecting the increased business
activities following the financing in 2007 and the software development project
in 2008.
Our cost
of revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are primarily
comprised of (1) cost of goods sold: greater than 100% and greater than 100%,
respectively, and (2) selling general and administrative expenses: greater than
100% and greater than 100%, respectively. Cost of sales on a consolidated basis
increased $111,800 to $120,319 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, from
$8,519 in the six months ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the increased business
activities following the financing in 2007 and the software development project
in 2008.
Selling
general and administrative expenses increased by $106,798, from $1,723 to
$108,521 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Selling general and administrative expenses increased by $211,125, from $6,901
to $218,026 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The
balances increased due to our operations increasing thereby resulting in
increased payroll, increased contract labor and increased legal and accounting
services.
Extraordinary
gains of $1,005,763 and $-0- were recorded in the six months ended 2008 and
2007, respectively. This activity occurred only in the first quarter of 2008 and
pertained to debt that was legally extinguished due to expiration of the statute
of limitations for such debts under state laws.
As a
result of the foregoing we had a net (loss) of $(138,515) for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to a (loss) of $(38,714) in the three months ended
June 30, 2007 although as disclosed above the gain resulted from non-operational
bookkeeping entries from the extinguishment of debt.
We
had net income of $759,294 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a
loss of $(89,318) in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Our
financial and liquidity position improved as exhibited by our cash and cash
equivalents of $51,649 at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2007, cash and cash
equivalents was $3,145. This increase of $48,504 was the result of equity
financing in the second half of 2007. There were capital expenditures of $3,031
in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0 for 2007.
Historically,
our primary cash requirements have been to fund the cost of operations,
development of our products and patent protection, with additional funds having
been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of
new business lines.
We have
had to severely diminish our operations due to a lack of liquidity from mid-2001
through most of 2007. We were able to find a small source of
additional capital in 2007. We have no current arrangements with respect to
additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing would
become available. The additional capital that we did secure enabled us to bid on
new business. There can be no assurance that any such new business would be sold
in the future.
Item
3. Controls And Procedures
As of
June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June
30, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
During
the second quarter of 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
