Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Our sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 vs. three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 69% to $1,806,282 from $1,070,085 primarily due to an increase in online marketing campaigns, especially with respect to increasing our visibility on search engine rankings. This is a result of our extensive internal search engine optimization campaign and pay per performance search engine efforts. Additionally, an increased expenditure and its corresponding exposure in certain jewelry and general retail internet portals, like pricegrabber.com and pricescope.com, assisted in this increase in revenue.
Our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007 vs. three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 71% to $1,672,173 from $975,951 due to the corresponding increase in the amount of diamonds and jewelry sold for the period and diamond costs incurred from the previous quarter. This corresponding increase in costs is consistent with the increase in additional sales for the period.
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months September 30, 2007 vs. three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 169% to $442,531 from $164,583 due primarily to $177,464 related to increased spending on internet related advertising including search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, and portal advertising cost.
Our interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 vs. three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased 51% to $754. This was a result of a reduction in average outstanding principal liability owed to our major stockholder Oscar Rodriguez during this period.
Accordingly, our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 vs. three months ended September 30, 2006 increased 329% to $309,176 from $71,986 due primarily increased spending on internet related advertising including: search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, and portal advertising related cost.
Nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
Our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 58% to $5,148,649 from,$3,250,020 primarily due to an increase in online marketing campaigns, especially with respect to increasing our visibility on search engine rankings. This is a result of our extensive internal search engine optimization campaign. Additionally, an increased expenditure and its corresponding exposure in certain jewelry and general retail internet portals, like pricegrabber.com and pricescope.com, assisted in this increase in revenue.
Our cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 61% to $4,567,564 from $2,838,250 due to the corresponding increase in the amount of diamonds and jewelry sold for the period. This corresponding increase in costs is consistent with the increase in additional sales for the period.
Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 324% to $2,246,030 from $530,224 due primarily to $316,040 related to increased spending on internet related advertising including search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, and portal advertising cost and $1,144,069 of common stock and options issue for services.
Our interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2006 decreased 42% to $2,699. This was a result of a reduction in the average outstanding principal liability owed to our major stockholder Oscar Rodriguez during this period.
Accordingly, our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 vs. nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 1,255% to $1,667,644 from $123,112 due primarily to $151,260 in increased spending on internet related advertising including: search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, and portal advertising related cost and $1,144,069 of common stock and options issued for services.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2007 we had assets of:
Cash | | $ | 266,141 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 320,554 | |
Inventory | | | 281,861 | |
Total current assets | | | 868,556 | |

Total Assets | | $ | 888,382 | |
| | | | |
At September 30, 2007 we had current liabilities as follows: | | | | |
| | | | |
Current Liabilities | | | | |
Accounts payable | | $ | 700,909 | |
Stock Payable | | | 50,000 | |
Loans from stockholders | | | 112,031 | |
Deferred revenues | | | 33,563 | |
Total Current Liabilities | | | 896,503 | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we had average monthly gross profit of $64,565 and average monthly cash used on operation activities of $44,582. Accordingly, we had a monthly cash loss of $56,327 for this period.
We expect that our average cash revenues to increase over the next twelve months based on recent historical trends. We also expect expenses to increase over the same period. We anticipate that this will result in an increase in gross profit should compensate for the current negative cash flow position, primarily because a significant portion of our expenses are fixed. While this may not always compensate for negative cash flow on a quarter by quarter basis due to the timing or certain large payables (ie. diamond vendors), over a larger period of time we expect this to be the case. We intend to raise additional funds from an offering of our stock in the future. Except for preliminary discussions, we have not taken any steps to effect this offering and we have no agreement, commitment or understanding for this financing. The offering may not occur, or if it occurs, may not generate the required funding. We may also consider securing debt financing.
Although this cash flow position is currently negative, management feels reasonably confident that it is in a position to maintain or increase the required level of sales, and/or reduce corresponding expenses as needed to fulfill its financial obligations from a cash flow perspective on an ongoing basis into the future, although there is no assurance we can do so. The majority stockholder advances money to Abazias on an as−needed basis. If needed, he has agreed to make further advances during fiscal 2007. The advances are due on demand, bear no interest and have no collateral. At September 30, 2007, the amount of the advance was $112,031. Our recent negative cash flow has been funded by previous stock issuances to accredited investors and the majority stockholder.
As of September 30, 2007, we had $700,909 of trade accounts payable and receivables of $320,554 additionally we have $281,861 in inventory. .
Certain Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
a) Return Policy- For most of our products, we offer an unconditional 10-day return policy, under which customers desiring to return a product receive a return authorization by calling our customer service center. We have, based on historical return figures, been able to determine that returns have never had any material impact on our financial statements, and historically been less then than 5% of total sales, based on analyzing historical return rates. We therefore expect no more than 5% of sales to be returned which can only occur within 10 days after the sale is made. Returned products are treated as merchandise credits and are subject to the same inventory accountability. Revenue is recognized when the diamonds are shipped, and returns immediately debited against current sales upon any return.
b) Since our inventory is purchased at the time of sale,, we have reviewed EITF 99-19, to clarify if we might be deemed a diamond agent and have to report sales on a net basis. We clearly do not fit under the appropriate definition as an agent for several reasons. We purchase all of our diamonds under our credit facilities with our various wholesalers. This varies between many dealers and in same cases, requires us to wire funds before a diamond is shipped, to many dealers offering us credit terms of net 30 for payment. The customer that purchases a diamond or other product, does so with us solely, and is never even aware of our wholesaler relationships, and even at any time we’re aware, could not purchase from them. Consequently, regardless of whether we are paid or not for the diamond or other products we sell, we are obligated to pay our wholesaler for said product once shipped. We have purchased the diamond or product, and the responsibility of said product solely rests with us, including accepting a return from a customer, even when we in turn might not be able to return the same diamond to our wholesaler. Regardless of whether or not the company is deemed an agent, which we clearly are not, we would still fulfill all the indicators under EITF 99-19 for gross revenue reporting. We are the primary obligator in the arrangement, we maintain inventory risk in the event the product is returned, price establishment rests solely with us, we can and do modify the product frequently by mounting diamonds, as well as finishing them and other products, we can and do choose among many suppliers, all products sold are determined by us, we have physical loss risk, and additionally shoulder credit risk. Based on these reasons, we clearly are not an agent, and should report revenues on a gross basis.
Trade up policy
We have a lifetime trade up policy which provides a guaranteed trade up of 80% of the price of the original diamond purchase. This provides our customers with the ability and incentive to become and remain our customers for many years to come. This affords our customers an option that many of our competitors will not extend to them. If the buyer exercised his/her trade-in right (functionally an option written by us), we would exchange a new diamond in for the original. Under normal circumstances, any trade up policy exercised would be even more profitable than a sale not including an exercised policy. This is because, on average we would make our normal markup, in addition to getting a discount that is greater than our cost on the diamond traded. It is conceivably possible, in a catastrophic event to the diamond markets which caused the value of diamonds to drop, customers would want to take advantage of this policy. Our policy is limited to the value of the diamond traded in, being close to the value when purchased. As such, we are protected from the functional price guarantee as mentioned in EITF 00-24 and FIN 45. Specifically our policy is only valid when, the diamond is at least 80% of the wholesale per carat price at time of purchase, based on published wholesale prices in the Rappaport industry publication, which is the de-facto standard for diamond pricing. To date, no customers have exercised this policy with us. After reviewing EITF 00-24 and FIN 45, we would not have any potential financial exposure to account for as a result of this policy, since our trade in value requirements based on current market conditions at the time of trade in, require the diamond to be worth 80% of the wholesale carat price, and if it does not, no trade up policy is valid.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-QSB, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-QSBthat the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure by the Company; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
The deficiencies in our internal controls relate to receivables and certain equity transactions. Receivables were understated by amounts collected for items that were not shipped by the end of the period, causing unearned revenues to be incorrect for the period. The adjustment was to increase receivables and reclassify to deferred revenues. Other adjustments were to record certain equity transactions for which cash was received for the purchase of stock, but as of the end of the period the stock was not yet authorized or issued.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
