WEIGHT LOSS FOREVER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2004
(1)Summary of Significant Policies
(a)Nature of Operations
Weight Loss Forever International, Inc., (the “Company”) a Nevada corporation, franchises weight loss centers under the trade names Weight Loss Forever® and Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness®, through subsidiary corporations, Weight Loss Management, Inc. and Beverly Hills Franchising Corp.
At March 31, 2004, the Company franchised 20 Weight Loss Forever® centers and 21 Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® clinics. At December 31, 2002, the Company franchised 20 Weight Loss Forever® centers and 20 Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® clinics. The Company, in addition to being a franchisor, had previously operated company-owned locations. As of May 31, 2002, the Company disposed of all its company-owned locations to concentrate on franchising. The franchised locations are primarily in Virginia, North Carolina, New England and Florida. The Company receives a non-refundable franchise fee, generally $20,000, from entities which enter into an agreement with the Company to own and operate a retail location. The franchisees are required to purchase the necessary furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory either from the Company, from an affil iate of the Company, or from a source approved by the Company. During the term of the agreement, the Company receives a service fee equal to six percent of gross sales, payable weekly. Area developers receive a rebate on their units’ royalty fees and a discount on product orders. New agreements provide for a franchise term of ten years subject to renewal. The agreements provide for other fees and charges based on various conditions and circumstances. The Company provides operational assistance, training, periodic inspections, and continuing new product development. The Company also has the right to establish an advertising fund to which the franchisees would contribute. This fund has not yet been established.
(b)Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Weight Loss Forever International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Weight Loss Management, Inc., from the date of its incorporation, June 4, 2002, and Beverly Hills Franchising Corp., from the date of its incorporation, October 31, 2002. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c)Inventories
The Company holds no inventory.
(d)Property and Equipment
The Company owns an internet website valued at cost, $3,840. The Company provides depreciation for machinery and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to 39 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the improvements.
(e)Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged against income in the year incurred.
(f)Revenue Recognition
The principal sources of revenue are derived from the collection of franchise royalties based on a percentage of the franchisee gross receipts and franchisee licensing fees and purchase rebates. Income from royalties is recognized as earned. Revenue from franchisee licensing and revenue from area franchise agreements are recognized as the initial agreements are signed. Product rebates are recognized as products are purchased.
(g)Advertising Costs
Advertising expenditures relating to product distribution and marketing efforts consisting primarily of franchise materials, product presentation material, catalog preparation, printing and postage expenses are expensed as incurred.
(h)Use of Estimates
The Company’s management has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(i)Financial Instruments Fair Value, Concentration of Business and Credit Risks
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying balance sheet for convertible debentures approximates fair value because the actual interest rate does not significantly differ from current rates offered for instruments with similar characteristics. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade and royalty accounts receivable which amount to approximately $10,000. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its franchisees and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains its cash balances at certain financial institutions in which balances are insured by the Fed eral Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
(j)Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”; (SFAS 123) which sets forth accounting and disclosure requirements for stock-based compensation arrangements. The new statement encourages but does not require, companies to measure stock-based compensation using a fair value method, rather than the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”;.) The Company has adopted disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 and has elected to continue to record stock-based compensation expense using the intrinsic value approach prescribed by APB No. 25. Accordingly, the Company computes compensation cost for each employee stock option granted as the amount by which the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant exceeds the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. The amount of compensation cost, if any, will be charged to operations over the vesting period. SFAS 123 requires companies electing to continue using the intrinsic value method to make certain pro forma disclosures (see note 7).
(k)Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(l)Cash Flows
For purposes of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(m)Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years presented. Common stock equivalents resulting from the issuance of the stock options and warrants have not been included in the calculations because such inclusion would be antidilutive.
(2)History and Corporate Developments
Reverse Merger with youticket.com, inc.
Weight Loss Forever International, Inc. (WLFI-VA) was incorporated in 1995, in the state of Virginia. WLFI-VA franchised the right to own and operate retail centers selling weight loss products under the Weight Loss Forever® trade name. WLFI-VA began selling franchises in June 1996, and granting area development requests, whereby area developers may operate multiple stores within a geographic territory. It is also the sole source supplier of products associated with the Weight Loss Forever® program.
On September 30, 2001, WLFI-VA agreed to exchange shares with youticket.com, inc. (YTIX), a Nevada public company. Accordingly, WLFI increased its authorized share capital to facilitate, and to effectuate, the exchange of 10,304,200 shares of WLFI-VA stock for 26,004,716 shares of youticket.com, inc. stock in a business combination accounted for as a reverse acquisition. During the period youticket.com was in existence, prior to the reverse acquisition, it had minimal operations. For accounting purposes, the reverse acquisition is reflected as if WLFI-VA issued its stock for the net assets of YTIX. The net assets of YTIX were not adjusted in connection with the reverse acquisition since they were monetary in nature. Subsequent to the reverse acquisition, youticket.com, inc. changed its name to Weight Loss Forever International, Inc.
Saleof WLFI-VA
On May 31, 2002, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company’s subsidiary WLFI-VA to a corporation owned by the Company’s president. The transaction resulted in a gain to the Company of approximately $209,000. The Company also acquired from WLFI-VA all rights to franchise the Weight Loss Forever® concept and all related intellectual property. The Company also changed its operations so as to only franchise weight loss centers and no longer own and operate them. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated to reflect WLFI-VA as a discontinued operation.
Acquisition of Assets of Advanced Wellness Corp.
In June 2002, the Company acquired various franchising rights and intellectual property from Advanced Wellness Corp., located in South Florida.
Formation of Weight Loss Management, Inc.
On June 4, 2002, the Company formed Weight Loss Management, Inc., a wholly owned Florida corporation to hold the franchising assets of the Weight Loss Forever® concept and to conduct the business of selling and servicing Weight Loss Forever® franchises which are presently located in Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.
Acquisition of Assets ofBeverly HillsWeight Loss & Wellness and Formation ofBeverly HillsFranchising Corp.
Beverly Hills Franchising Corp., was formed on October 31, 2002 as a Florida corporation. From inception, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Weight Loss Forever International, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Beverly Hills Franchising Corp. was organized to hold the franchising assets of the Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® concept and to conduct the business of selling and servicing Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness franchises. Beverly Hills Franchising Corp. acquired franchise agreements with 22 clinics located in North Carolina, Virginia, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Kentucky and Colorado and is presently offering franchises in those and other states pursuant to the Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® Uniform Offering Circular.
(3)Goodwill
As a consequence of the sale by the Company, on May 31, 2002, of its subsidiary WLFI-VA, the Company disposed of all recorded goodwill resulting from prior acquisitions made by the subsidiary. Although, as of December 31, 2002, the Company did not include goodwill as a corporate asset, it has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and will not, in the future, amortize goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives. The Company plans to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
(4)Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of the following at December 31, 2003 and 2002:
| | 2003 | 2002 |

(5)Contract Payable
As part of the consideration for the assets acquired by it, the Company entered into a five-year consulting agreement with Bolianites Enterprises, LLC, which is owned by the president of the seller of the franchising assets referred to in Note 2 above. The total to be paid pursuant to the agreement is $375,000, payable in 60 monthly payments of $6,250. The consulting agreement does not provide for any specific obligations on the part of Bolianites Enterprises, LLC other than the requirement that its managing member, Mr. Charles Bolianites, serve on the Board of Directors of Weight Loss Forever International, Inc. The Company has treated the discounted value of the contract as an additional cost of the assets acquired. The contract payable in the total amount of $375,000 has been discounted to its present value of $285,000, based on an interest rate of 12%. As monthly payments are m ade in the future, approximately 76% will be applied to the contract payable and the balance would be interest expense.
(6)Convertible Debentures
Series A Debentures
On September 30, 2001, the Company issued $101,000 of one-year 12% convertible debentures. During 2002, $15,000 of principal amount of the debentures were converted into 375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The maturity date of the remaining $86,000 of debentures was extended to December 31, 2004. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holders at the conversion price of $0.04 per share or a total of 2,150,000 shares.
Series B Debentures
In June 2002, the Company issued $50,000 of one-year 12% convertible debentures. As of December 31, 2002, the debentures were converted into 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Also, as of December 31, 2002, accrued interest on the debentures in the amount of $3,000 was converted into 75,000 shares of common stock.
(7)Stockholders’ Equity

Investment
The Company invested in Tammy Philips Fitness Boot Camp, LLC, a 50% interest, for a value of $66,000, or .33 per share as noted above with the issuance of 200,000 common shares of Company stock. The value of the stock issued was based on the trading value of the Company’s stock in a public market and approximates the fair value of the investment. The investment may be considered temporary by the Company’s management and therefore is accounted for at its fair value. The method of accounting for this investment may change depending on management’s future plans regarding this investment and therefore the equity method and consolidation method may be future options. The Company applies Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, for its investments.
ReverseSplit
On June 4, 2001, the Company’s shareholders approved a 1-for-30 reverse split of the common stock. All references to shares have been adjusted retroactively.
Stock Options and Warrants
During 1999, YTIX granted options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock. These options were granted with an exercise price of $0.25 with a term of five years.
During 2000, YTIX granted options to employees to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock. These options were granted with an average exercise price of $0.21 with a term of five and one half years. No options were granted in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
In June 2001, the board of directors of the Company approved the 2001 Stock Option Plan that authorized up to 3,000,000 shares to be issued. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under this plan.
The Company has also granted options under non-qualified option agreements.
Activity under the performance equity plan and non-qualified option agreements is as follows:
| | Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price |
| | |
| | |
| |
Outstanding at December 31, 2002 | | | 42,750 | | $ | 8.71 | |
Granted | | | - | | | - | |

In September 2001, the Company granted warrants to purchase 3,398,440 shares of common stock to an investor relations firm which has entered into a consulting agreement with the Company. The warrants, which expire at various dates between June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2004, were granted at exercise prices ranging from $.035 - $.08 which were below the market value of the underlying stock at the date of the grant. Accordingly, the Company, in 2001, recorded consulting fee expense of $144,433 in connection with this transaction. In addition, the Agreement provided for the issuance of a total of 3,228,518 shares of common stock in exchange for consulting services. At December 31, 2001, 2,208,986 shares had been issued in connection with the consulting agreement described herein. In September 2002, the consulting agreement was extended for an additional year. The extended agreement provi des for payment of 3,398,440 shares of common stock of which 1,019,652, valued at $101,965, were issued as of December 31, 2002. No shares were issued during the year ended December 31, 2003.
All other stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and in accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic value method, there is no related compensation expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If compensation cost for stock-based compensation had been determined based on the fair market value of the stock options and stock purchase warrants on their dates of grant in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 would have been:
| | 2003 | 2002 |
| |
|
|
Net loss: | | | |
As reported | | $ | (1,389,289 | ) | $ | (76,310 | ) |

As reported | | $ | ( 0.027 | ) | $ | ( 0.002 | ) |

Additional information relating to stock options and warrants outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2003, summarized by exercise price follows:
Outstanding Weighted Average | | Exercisable Weighted Average |

The computation of the effect on net earnings and earnings per share with respect to outstanding options and warrants in accordance with SFAS 123 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which included the following significant assumptions:
| | Options | | Purchase Warrants |
| |
| |
|
Risk-free interest rate | | 7.0% | | 5.0% |
Expected volatility | | 5.0% | | 5.0% |
Expected dividend yield | | 0.0% | | 0.0% |
Expected life | | 6.5 years | | 2 years |
The weighted average fair value at the date of grant of the options granted during 2000 and 1999 was $0.21 and $0.28 per option, respectively.
Acquisition of Franchise Rights of Advanced Wellness
In June 2002, the Company issued 3,204,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.04 per share for total of $128,160 for the acquisition of the franchise rights and intellectual property of Advanced Wellness Corp.
Acquisition of Franchise Contract Rights ofBeverly HillsWeight Loss & Wellness
On October 30, 2002, the Company acquired intellectual property, franchise agreements, trademarks and the rights to the names Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® and Roseglen Weight Loss and Wellness® for 6,200,000 shares of the Company’s stock, valued at $620,000 or $0.10 per share. As additional consideration, the Company entered into a five-year consulting agreement with Bolianites Enterprises, LLC at $75,000 per year. (See Contract Payable - Note 5.)
(8)Income Taxes
At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2,145,548 for financial statement and income tax purposes which will expire in varying amounts through 2023. Due to change in ownership, the losses will be limited in their use and management has not determined the amount of losses that may ultimately be utilized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. A valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit of the net operating losses has been established since it is uncertain that future taxable income will be realized during the carryforward period. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes had not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
(9)Lease Commitments
Office facilities have been provided, without charge, to the Company by shareholder, Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. This arrangement is not covered by a lease. The Company may be required to pay rent in the future. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was not obligated under any lease commitments.
Total lease and rental expense for continuing operations was $0 in 2003 and 2002.
(10)Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has balances due from affiliates amounting to $0 and $100, respectively. The Company has received advances from certain related parties during the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2002. The balances at December 31, 2003 and 2002 amount to $89,610 and $68,600, respectively. The advances are due on demand and are non-interest bearing.
In June 2002, a firm, which was owned at that time by two Company directors, acquired $50,000 of the Company’s convertible debentures. As of December 31, 2002, the debentures, together with accrued interest, were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.
On May 31, 2002, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, WLFI-VA to a corporation owned by the Company’s president. Pursuant to that agreement, the Company’s president is now the area developer for Weight Loss Forever for the states of Virginia and North Carolina and the owner of several franchises in those states.
In June 2002, the Company acquired certain franchise contract and royalty rights from Advance Wellness Corporation (AWC). After that acquisition, an employee of AWC became a director of the Company.
In October 2002, the Company acquired the assets of Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness from Charles Bolianites. Upon completion of the acquisition, Mr. Bolianites, became a director of the Company. As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into a consulting agreement whereby Mr. Bolianites is scheduled to receive $6,250 per month for 60 months. (See Consulting Agreement- Note 5)
(11)Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As more fully described below, the liquidity of the Company has been adversely affected by significant losses from operations. The Company reported net losses of $1,398,289 and $76,310 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, there is a working capital deficit of $335,685 at December 31, 2003.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital contributions and/or achieving profitable operations. Management’s plans are to generate revenue from the sale of new franchises and to raise additional capital through either debt or equity instruments.

Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Overview
We franchise weight loss and nutrition retail clinics offering all-natural herbal dietary supplements. As of March 31, 2004, we have franchised 20 Weight Loss Forever® centers, 19 Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness® clinics, and we have 3 Tammy Phillips Fitness Boot Camps opened and another 30 under contract. We generate revenue through royalty agreements, and we generally receive 6% of the revenues of our franchised locations, payable on a weekly basis.
We have historically grown by selling additional franchises, and we have done several acquisitions. We anticipate continuing to grow using these methods. We have 30 Tammy Phillips Boot Camps under contract, which we anticipate will increase our revenues in the next fiscal year.
Explanatory Paragraph in Report of Our Independent Certified Public Accountants
Our independent accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in their most recent report, stating that our audited financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2003 were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. However, they note that we have not yet generated significant revenues, that we have experienced net losses, that we continue to have a large accumulated working capital deficit, and that there are no assurances that we will be able to meet our financial obligations in the future.
Our independent accountants included the explanatory paragraph based primarily on an objective test of our historical financial results. Our going concern paragraph may be viewed by some shareholders and investors as an indication of financial instability, and it may impair our ability to raise capital.

Results of Operations
Introduction
Our operations for the first quarter of 2004 were essentially the same as for the same quarter in 2003. Since 2002, we disposed of all of our company-owned locations and have focused our business plan only on being a franchisor and on targeting one or more acquisition candidates.
Revenues and Loss from Operations
Our revenue, general and administrative expenses, and loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 are as follows:
| | Quarter Ended March 31, 2004 | Quarter Ended March 31, 2003 | Quarter Ended December 31, 2003 |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Revenue | | $ | 7,570 | | $ | 42,604 | | $ | 13,783 | |
General & Administrative Expenses | | | 69,169 | | | 63,072 | | | 1,126,679 | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Loss from Operations | | | (61,599 | ) | | (10,203 | ) | | (1,145,391 | ) |
Our revenue for the first quarter of 2004 is significantly less than the first quarter of 2003 because discounted royalties were granted to franchisees to assist in expanding the number of their clinic locations. Our Revenue for the first quarter of 2004 is significantly less than the immediately preceding quarter, the fourth quarter of 2003, because of this same plan being continued by management.
Our general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2004 are relatively similar to the expenses for the first quarter of 2003, $69,169 compared to $63,072, respectively. Our general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 were significantly more than the other quarters because of consulting fees for franchise development and expansion.
Interest Expense, Taxes, and Net Loss
Our interest expense, taxes, and net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and the quarter ended December 31, 2003 are as follows:
| | Quarter Ended March 31, 2004 | Quarter Ended March 31, 2003 | Quarter Ended December 31, 2003 |

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the first quarter of 2004, as with all of 2003, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. As the Tammy Phillips Boot Camps are opened, and as our franchise stores increase operations, we anticipate an increase in our operating cash flow. We also anticipate that one-time and transaction related expenses will decrease, as they have during the first quarter of 2004. However, we will likely not achieve positive operating cash flow during 2004. To date, we have funded operations primarily through the issuance of equity securities, and anticipate continuing to do so in 2004.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of March 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 were:
| | As of March 31, 2004 | As of December 31, 2003 | Change |
| |
|
|
|
Cash | | $ | 3,025 | | $ | 1,131 | | $ | 1,894 | |
Total current assets | | | 14,562 | | | 12,668 | | | 1,894 | |
Total assets | | | 1,148,162 | | | 1,146,268 | | | 1,894 | |
Total current liabilities | | | 415,331 | | | 348,353 | | | 66,978 | |
Total liabilities | | | 680,248 | | | 605,500 | | | 74,748 | |
Cash Requirements
For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 our net cash used in operating activities was ($56,841), as compared to ($3,688) for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Negative operating cash flows during the first quarter of 2004 were primarily created by a net loss from operations of $72,854, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $16,013.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash used in investing activities was $zero for both quarters. Net cash provided by financing activities was $58,735 and $(6,000), respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We are not generating sufficient cash flow from operations to cover our working capital expenses or to fund our growth. If we can successfully complete one or more capital raises, and one or more acquisitions of profitable businesses, then we anticipate that we can operate at a profitable level. Until such time, however, and in order to complete the acquisitions, we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising the required capital, we may have to curtail operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with its Board of Directors, the Company has identified accounting policies related to the valuation of stock issued for services that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
ITEM 3 Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (or those persons performing similar functions), after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could sig nificantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
