NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2008
Unaudited
Note 1 | Interim Financial Statements |
The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the Form 10-KSB of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
Note 2 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
Synthenol Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989 as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27, 1998. The name was changed to Thermal Ablation Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. The Company’s business to December 31, 2003 was primarily related to the operations of online gaming. In 2004, the Company discontinued the online gaming operations and redirected its business strategy to acquisition of new poker software and market the software to on-line gaming sites worldwide. The Company is a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Development Stage Enterprises.”
At the Annual General Meeting on October 31, 2006, the shareholders of the Company ratified the Purchase Agreement and the decision to change the Company’s name to Synthenol Inc. effective December 18, 2006.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $1,097,327 during its development stage and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synthenol Inc., a company organized under the laws of Florida, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: general economic and business conditions; competition; success of operating initiatives; our ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; changes in business strategy or development plans; future rental revenues; the continuity, experience and quality of our management; changes in or failure to comply with government regulations or the lack of government authorization to continue our projects; and other factors referenced in the Form 10-Q.
The use in this Form 10-Q of such words as "believes", "plans", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. The success of the Company is dependent on our efforts, the employees and many other factors including, primarily, our ability to raise additional capital.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and estimates of our management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to us at the time such statements were made. Forward looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward looking statements, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and other risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, either as a result of the matters set forth or incorporated in this Report generally and certain economic and business factors, some of which may be beyond our control.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company is analyzing the economics of setting up a website and viewing the probability of raising capital to launch such a business model. The Company proposes to charge a monthly subscription fee and will initially offer daily prizes of $1,000 and weekly prizes of $5,000. The projected prize budget is $150,000 per month and the infrastructure costs and licensing fees will be in the range of $50,000 per month.
If the Company decides to pursue this business model they will have to raise approximately $2,500,000 to cover costs for one year. We estimate that the Company will in time have 50,000 paying subscribers and generate approximately $12 million per year.
In the event the company proceeds with this project they will apply to change their corporate name back to LegalPlay which is appropriate for the business they wish to enact.
On May 5, 2008, the Company passed a resolution to terminate the 1998 Combined Incentive and Non-qualified Stock Option Plan including (i) all options previously granted thereunder and which remain outstanding and unexercised and (ii) all unexpired or unterminated stock option agreements previously entered by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Plan.
We are in immediate need of further working capital and are considering options with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to three months ended March 31, 2007
REVENUES. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $nil.
EXPENSES. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $40,022 compared to $41,102 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The major expense item for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was the $8,958 interest and finance charges on notes payable, as compared to $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to money borrowed for general office and accounting services. The decrease of professional fees from $14,130 in 2007 to $6,000 in 2008 was due to reduction of legal fee.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Our cash position was $38,585 at March 31, 2008 and was $66,273 at December 31, 2007.
Our working capital deficit at March 31, 2007 was $406,958 as compared to 376,314 at December 31, 2007.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and fund operations through the remainder of 2008 is contingent upon its ability to raise funds through equity or debt financing.
The Company has arranged loans from third party lenders in order to fund the on going operations of the business. These loans have been secured by way of Promissory Notes.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us, which have a material impact on our financial condition and results. Management believes its critical accounting policies reflect its most significant estimates and assumptions used in the presentation of our financial statements. Our critical accounting policies include debt management and accounting for stock-based compensation. We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities".
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
There are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Synthenol Inc. in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Synthenol Inc. in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Synthenol Inc. has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2007, and, based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, management took steps to improve the internal controls over financial reporting by (1) searching for outside directors to establish an effective audit committee, (2) utilizing existing office staff in order to remedy the segregation of duties deficiencies, (3) writing accounting and financial reporting procedures to comply with the requirements of US GAAP and SEC disclosures, and (4) following the newly written accounting and financial reporting procedures in (3) which tightens the control over the period ends.
Management and directors will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
