The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Robocom Systems Internatonal Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “our company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Robocom Systems International Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1982. Our company was organized to develop, market and support advanced warehouse management software solutions that enable companies to realize significant cost savings by automating their warehouse operations and providing inventory visibility throughout the supply chain. On October 11, 2005, we sold substantially all of our assets to Avantce RSI, LLC (“Avantce”), a Delaware limited liability company, for $2,970,000 in cash, plus a $200,000 promissory note payable over two years. In July 2006, we paid a dividend to our shareholders totaling approximately $2,760,000, which represented approximately 87% of our total assets at that time.
Since the asset sale on October 11, 2005, we have not engaged in any operations and our business has been dormant. As such, we may presently be defined as a “shell” company, whose sole purpose, at this time, is to locate and consummate a merger with or an acquisition of a private entity.
We will continue our filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of reporting documentation and reports in an effort to maximize shareholder value. We believe our best use and primary attraction, as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle, will be our status as a reporting public company. Any business combination or transaction may potentially result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders.
The balance sheet at May 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but, as presented, does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended November 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2007.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Certain statements in this Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of our company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions, intense competition for the acquisition of businesses, and domestic and foreign government regulations. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend” and “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.
Overview
On October 11, 2005, we sold substantially all of our assets to Avantce RSI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for $2,970,000 in cash, plus a $200,000 promissory note payable over two years. On July 28, 2006, we paid a dividend to our shareholders totaling approximately $2,760,000, which represented approximately 87% of our total assets at that time.
Since the asset sale on October 11, 2005, we have not engaged in any operations and the business has been dormant. As such, our company may presently be defined as a “shell” company, whose sole purpose, at this time, is to locate and consummate a merger with or an acquisition of a private entity.
We will continue our filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of reporting documentation and reports in an effort to maximize shareholder value. We believe our best use and primary attraction, as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle, will be our status as a reporting public company. Any business combination or transaction may potentially result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders.
The proposed business activities described herein classify us as a “blank check” company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any offering of our securities, either debt or equity, until such time as we have successfully implemented our business plan described herein.
At this time, our purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to us by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of a corporation whose securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature.
This discussion of our proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that we may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to our shareholders because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
Our company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms that engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we have. In view of our combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

Three Months ended November 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of fees for financial personnel, professional fees and insurances, as well as other miscellaneous administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4,355 to $36,301 in the three months ended November 30, 2007, as compared to $40,656 in the three months ended November 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to decreased professional and consulting fees related to the dividend distribution completed on July 28, 2006.
Interest Income, Net. Interest income increased by $1,214 to $4,656 in the three months ended November 30, 2007, as compared to $3,442 in the three months ended November 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cash on hand during the three months ended November 30, 2007.
Income Taxes. No provision for or benefit of income taxes was reflected in the 2008 or 2007 periods, as the benefits of operating loss carryforwards have been reserved.
Six Months ended November 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended November 30, 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of fees for financial personnel, professional fees and insurances, as well as other miscellaneous administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $12,040 to $72,119 in the six months ended November 30, 2007, as compared to $84,159 in the six months ended November 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to decreased professional and consulting fees related to the dividend distribution completed on July 28, 2006.
Interest Income, Net. Interest income decreased by $14,761 to $9,811 in the six months ended November 30, 2007, as compared to $24,572 in the six months ended November 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash on hand as a result of the dividend paid and the type of short-term investments held.
Income Taxes. No provision for or benefit of income taxes was reflected in the 2008 or 2007 periods, as the benefits of operating loss carryforwards have been reserved.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2007, we funded our operations from cash on hand derived from the sale of substantially all of our assets on October 11, 2005. As of November 30, 2007, we had $450,622 in cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash used in operating activities was $72,258 for the six months ended November 30, 2007. Net cash used in operating activities was $104,950 for the six months ended November 30, 2006. During the six months ended November 30, 2007, we were not engaged in any revenue-generating operations. Cash used in operations was higher in the 2006 period primarily as a result of increased costs related to the dividend distribution completed on July 28, 2006.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our legal, accounting and reporting requirements as a publicly-held “shell” company over the next twelve months.
