NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Interim Financial Information – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair and comparable presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Co mpany’s most recent audited financial statements.
The Company is considered to be a development stage company with its activities to date consisting of developing a network of “members’ only” resorts by acquiring or controlling boutique style resorts located in the Caribbean. The Company acquired its first resort, a 24 room property located in Barbuda West Indies, in September 2003. The Barbuda property commenced operations in April 2004. The Company plans to sell memberships which entitle the member to use the resorts under a membership plan.
Reclassifications – The financial statements for the prior period have been reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss.
Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share —At September 30, 2005, there were 9,112,153 options/warrants outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effects would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
Stock Based Compensation —The Company accounts for stock options/warrants issued to directors, officers and employees under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations (“APB 25”). Under APB 25, compensation expense is recognized if an option’s exercise price on the measurement date is below the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Company accounts for options and warrants issued to non-employees at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The Company granted 11,000 options to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Business Condition –The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements for the period from January 11, 2001 (date of inception) through September 30, 2005, the Company incurred a net loss of $14,809,755. The lack of material revenues and the loss from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amount and classification of liabilities which might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain successful operations. The Company’s management has raised capital and acquired operating resort properties in the Caribbean in anticipation of ultimately attaining successful operations; however, there is no assurance that this will occur.
NOTE 2 – NOTES PAYABLE
Subordinated Notes Payable
On September 1, 2003, the Company commenced a private placement of subordinated notes payable, with a minimum offering of $450,000 and a maximum offering of $10,000,000. The notes are offered at 100% of the face or principal amount in the minimum denomination of $25,000, with $1,000 increments thereafter. The notes mature on August 31, 2008 and will be payable in full at maturity. Interest on the notes accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. Each note is redeemable at the election of the Company at any time at a price of 106% of the principal amount of each note.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued notes totaling $1,695,100. The Company received $1,525,590 net of offering costs of $169,510. From the commencement of the offering through September 30, 2005, the Company has issued notes totaling $6,869,800. Interest payable relating to the notes was $733,242 at September 30, 2005.
The notes contain an immediately detachable stock purchase warrant which enables the holder to acquire common stock of the Company. The warrants enable the holder to purchase 300 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 in face value of the notes subscribed. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The per share exercise price for the warrant shares will be the lesser of: $1 or 50% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the termination date of the offering. The Company issued 508,530 warrants relating to the notes payable issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 at exercise prices ranging from $0.55 to $0.75.
The proceeds from the offering for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were allocated to the financial instruments issued, based upon their relative fair values and resulted in an allocation of $1,489,260 to the notes before deferred financing costs of $148,936 and $185,166 (which includes $20,574 of offering costs) to the warrants. While the allocated value of the warrants was less than their fair value of $241,607, the fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.80%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 52.45%, and expected lives of 5 years.
The total deferred financing costs at September 30, 2005 of $1,265,265 and the discount on the notes of $1,470,204 will be amortized as interest expense through August 31, 2008. Amortization expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $500,760.
Laurus Transaction.
On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Island company (Laurus). Under the agreement, the Company issued to Laurus a convertible term note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000. The term of the note is three years and bears interest at the rate of prime plus two percent, subject to a minimum rate and adjustments. The funds received from the note, less a $349,500 fee payable to Laurus, were placed in a restricted bank account under the sole dominion and control of Laurus. The ability to use the funds was subject to limitations and restrictions. The Company has the right to prepay all amounts drawn down by paying 101% of such amount in cash. The note is convertible into common stock at a fixed price of $1.37 per share subject to certain conditions.
On April 21, 2005, the Company paid the entirety of their lease payments remaining under their existing sub-lease for the Barbuda resort. The Company also exercised their option to acquire all of the assets to the resort and to receive the assignment of the underlying lease agreement with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda. The Company entered into the sublease agreement in September 2003 with Impresa Guffanti Constructioni Edili SRL, an Italian company. Guffanti Constructioni received the leasehold rights to 90 acres of land where the resort is situated from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in 1989. The term of the lease is 99 years. As a result of the assignment, the Company is now the lessee of the governmental lease. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has approved the assignment of the lease to the Company. The lease requires the Company to pay the government the sum of approximately $7,000 as an annual lease payment. The rental amount is subje ct to review in 10 year intervals.
The Company paid the sum of $4,048,695 to the former sub-lessor representing the remainder of the Company’s lease payments under the sub-lease agreement. The Company used funds from their exiting credit facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. to make this payment. The Company drew down a total of $4,700,000 from the Laurus facility. Funds remaining from the drawdown were used to pay legal and recording fees and are to be used for working capital purposes. The Company paid McGinn Smith, Inc. a registered broker dealer, a fee of $220,000 in connection with their October 19, 2002 agreement with the broker dealer. Of that amount, Mr. Casolo, the Company’s Chairman who also is the former officer of the broker dealer, is expected to receive a fee of $110,000 under an arrangement which pre-dated his role as Chairman.
Under the Laurus credit facility, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal (amortized over a seven year term) plus accrued interest commencing on August 1, 2005. A final balloon payment is due at maturity on July 29, 2007. Interest accrues on the principal amount at the rate of prime plus 2%. The Company granted Laurus a priority lien on the assets at the resort including a priority lien on their ownership rights to the governmental lease. As of April 22, 2005, the Company drew down a total of $5,049,500.00 from the Laurus credit facility, which amount is comprised of a $349,500 fee paid to Laurus at closing and the above described $4,700,000 draw down. On April 27, 2005, the Company notified Laurus of their intention to return to Laurus the funds remaining in the restricted account. The Company is also required to pay Laurus 1% of the amount returned plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such sum.
NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK WARRANTS
Warrants-As discussed in Note 2, the Company has entered into an agreement relating to the private placement offering of subordinated notes payable which began in September 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the company issued warrants to purchase 508,350 shares of common stock. Also discussed in Note 2, the Company entered into a financing agreement in which the Company issued options and warrants to purchase 3,594,633 shares of common stock.
On June 23, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with Westrock Advisors, Inc. for broker and financial advisor services to assist the Company in obtaining financing. As compensation for these services, Westrock is to receive 11% of the capital raised and receive 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The agreement expires December 23, 2005. The warrants have a fair value of $170,448 as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: risk free interest rate of 3.74%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 51.64%, and expected lives of 5 years. The fair value of he warrants have been recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as proceeds are raised or the agreement expires at which time it will be used to offset proceeds or expensed. The Company Chairman is also an employee and officer of Westrock Advisors, Inc. We have been advised that Mr. Casolo is expect ed to receive 60% of the compensation received by Westrock under the described agreement.
At September 30, 2005, the Company had 9,112,153 options/warrants outstanding.
Series A Preferred Stock. On July 1, 2005, the Company commenced a private placement offering of a class of its preferred stock designated as its Series A Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 600,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, and has no voting rights. Each share is convertible into 50 shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder, or under certain conditions by the Company. Annual dividends accrue on the preferred stock at the rate of prime during the first two years, prime plus 2% during year three, and prime plus 3% thereafter. The funds raised from the offering will be used for working capital purposes. The Company can redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of 106% of the stated value per share. The funds raised from the offering will be used for working capital purposes. As of September 3 0, 2005, the Company has received $445,000 in gross offering proceeds.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
St. James Club Acquisition
On June 2, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of two companies which, through a subsidiary wholly owned by the two entities, own and operate a resort located in Antigua, West Indies, known as theSt. James Club, Antigua. The purchase price for the transaction is $31,000,000, of which $27,000,000 is payable at closing and the balance is payable under a promissory note in favor of the seller. The five year note will bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum, and principal and interest will be payable monthly throughout the term based on a five year amortization. The note will be secured by a second mortgage on the resort. The Company placed $250,000 in escrow which will be applied towards the total purchase price at closing. The Company also agreed to purchase outstanding timeshare receivables of the seller at a rate of 90% of the amount due at closing, which is believed to be approximat ely $3,000,000. The transaction was terminated by the parties and the Company forfeited the funds in escrow.
Lawsuit with Independent Financial Services
On June 15, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Independent Financial Services, Inc. (“IFS”) in which IFS agreed to act as an agent for CCI to obtain financing for the Company. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to pay a commission consisting of a) common shares equal to 2% of the common stock on the date of closing and if the lender/investor does not require equity participation, then 4% and b) 4% of the gross loan amount payable in cash, which includes any mezzanine, equity funds or sale/leaseback proceeds. This agreement expired on August 17, 2004. If the Company obtains funding from a source introduced by IFS during the original term of the agreement, within five years of the expiration of the agreement, the Company is required to pay the above fees to IFS.
On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus. Under the agreement, the Company issued to Laurus a convertible term note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 plus options and warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. On September 1, 2004, IFS filed a lawsuit against CCI claiming breach of contract and seeking the payment of fees under the agreement. IFS is also seeking an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, interest, costs and such other relief as provided by law and deemed just by the Court. The Company filed an answer to the lawsuit stating in part that IFS fraudulently induced the Company to enter into the agreement knowing they (IFS) were not a registered broker-dealer. The Company also believes that the nature of the underlying transaction with Laurus would require IFS to be a registered broker-dealer in order to receive such fees or commissions.
Currently, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain. If the Company were to lose the lawsuit the Company may be required to pay $420,000 representing the 4% commission and the issuance of 2% of CCI’s common stock on July 29, 2004.
In March 2004, the Company and its subsidiary filed a complaint in the Supreme Court for the State of New York against the former president of the Company’s subsidiary seeking declaratory relief against certain claims made by the former president. The former president filed an answer and counter claim alleging he was entitled to participate in the November 2002 stock exchange agreement between the Company and its Subsidiary and is entitled to 3,544,170 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the former president alleges he was terminated without sufficient cause under his employment agreement and is entitled to additional compensation of approximately $48,000. Currently, the outcome of the litigation is uncertain. If the Company were to lose the lawsuit the Company may be required to issue the common stock and make the cash payment sought in the counter claim.
Other Litigation
In February 2005, a third party filed suit in The Superior Court of the Virgin Islands Division of St. Croix for breach of contract. The plaintiff is seeking consulting fees of $25,000, plus interest at a rate of 9% and associated legal fees.
Consulting Agreement
The Company has a consulting agreement in place which provides for a finders fee equal to 5% of the purchase price of any properties the Company purchases that were introduced by the consultant. Under this agreement, the Company will pay $250,000 to the consultant for the purchase of the Palmetto Beach Hotel.
On January 6, 2005, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with a consulting firm, Inc. to provide investor relations services to the Company. The Agreement is effective for six months with an automatic six month renewal option if not canceled in writing 30 days prior to the expiration of the first term. As compensation for this agreement, the Company is to pay $6,000 per month and issue 60,000 shares of common stock each three-month period the agreement is in place. The Company also agreed to register the shares issued under this agreement in connection with the Company’s next registration of shares.

Overview.
We are CCI Group, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries are Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Beach Properties Barbuda Limited, an Antiguan company. Unless the context indicates otherwise, any reference to “our” or “we” includes our subsidiaries.
We were incorporated in Utah on February 1, 2000 under the name of Kinship Communications, Inc. We changed our name to Kinship Systems, Inc. on March 2, 2000. CCI-Delaware was incorporated on January 11, 2001, and on August 13, 2003, Beach Properties Barbuda Limited was incorporated.
Effective November 18, 2002, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Caribbean Clubs International, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, all of the shareholders of CCI-Delaware exchanged their common shares for our common shares on a 1 for 11.8139 ratio (rounded to whole shares). The transaction was approved by the majority of our shareholders. As part of that transaction, our then officers and directors resigned and were replaced by our current officers and directors.
On August 29, 2003, we changed our name to CCI Group, Inc.
On September 18, 2003, we acquired a sub-lease to our first resort property located on the island of Barbuda, West Indies. The resort features 23 oceanfront junior suites and one villa situated on a pristine, isolated Caribbean beach. The property is located on 90 acres and is the subject of a 99 year lease agreement with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda which began in 1989. In December 2003 we commenced a $1,300,000 renovation of the resort. The renovations were completed in April 2004 and which transformed the resort to a five star destination. Our resort is now called “The Beach House-Barbuda.” The resort commenced operations in April 2004. On April 22, 2005, using funds from the transaction with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., we paid the entirety of our lease payments remaining under the original sub-lease agreement. We are now the lessee of the governmental lease. We have delayed the full scale promotion of our membersh ip plan for the foreseeable future, and are concentrating our management efforts on the marketing and operations of our existing resort. We intend to acquire or operate other boutique style resort hotels located in the Caribbean and sell memberships to our acquired properties. We expect to re-initiate our membership marketing efforts when we have acquired at least one more operating resort.
Nine Month Period Ending September 30, 2005 Compared With Nine Month Period Ending September 30, 2004.
Results of Operations.
Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $1,268,700 compared with $75,015 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The increase of $1,193,685 is due to the effect of our resort promotion reflecting higher occupancy rates of our Barbuda resort compared with the limited operations of the resort, which opened for business in April 2004, for the same period in 2004.
Total operating costs, consisting of cost of sales, direct and operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses, were $3,491,533 for the 2005 period compared with $2,718,509 for the comparable 2004 period. Cost of sales which represents principally food and beverage costs for our Barbuda resort was $175,690 for the 2005 period compared with $0 for the comparable 2004 period. The increase in the 2005 reflects the higher operating activity for the period compared with the limited operations during the 2004 period. Direct and operating expenses which represents non managerial employee related costs, and other direct charges at our resort such as fuel and utilities, was $1,054,375 compared with $0 for the comparable 2004 period. The increase in the 2005 also reflects the higher operating activity for the period compared with the limited operations during the 2004 period. General and administrative which represents managerial costs at our Barbuda resort, consulting and employee related charges for our New York operations and depreciation and amortization charges, was $2,261,468 for the 2005 period, reflecting a decrease of $457,041 from $2,718,509 for the comparable period in 2004.
Loss from operations of the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $2,222,833 reflecting a decrease of $420,661 from $2,643,494 for the comparable period in 2004 for the reasons discussed above.
Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $2,846,958 reflecting an increase of $1,756,263 from $1,090,695 for the comparable period in 2004. Interest expense, in addition to interest which we paid on our outstanding notes payables, includes the amortization of deferred loan costs related to stock warrants issued in connection with our financings, including warrants issued with our 12% subordinated notes, warrants issued to a broker dealer, and warrants issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. During 2005, we recorded $1,641,047 in the amortization of deferred loan costs related to stock warrants compared with $471,886 for the 2004 period. The increase in interest expenses also is due to interest on an additional $2,389,200 of subordinated notes which we issued in the ensuing period after June 30, 2004. Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $83,184 reflecting an increase of $81,477 from $1,707 for the comparab le period in 2004. Interest income is amounts, generally from the proceeds of the sale of our 12% subordinated notes, held in interest bearing accounts. The increase in interest reflects the additional funds received from the sale of the 12% subordinated notes during the nine month period in 2005. Foreign currency exchange gain for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $4,844 reflecting a decrease of $35,303 from $40,147 for the comparable period in 2004. We receive revenues in currencies other than Eastern Caribbean (EC) and United States dollars. Foreign currency exchange gain reflects the impact of converting such other amounts to EC or US dollars.
Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $4,981,763 (or $0.51 per common share) compared with a net loss of $3,692,335 (or $0.39 per common share) for the same period in 2004. The increase in net loss of $1,289,428 for the 2005 period is due to the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2005, we had working capital deficit of $2,733,752. Working capital deficit as of December 31, 2004 was $2,120,786. The decrease in working capital deficit is principally a result of increasing debt due to financing activities and decreasing cash due to operations.
Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, as of September 30, 2005 totaled $3,723,376, which consists of our resort property located in Barbuda. Property, plant and equipment of the Company, net of accumulated depreciation, as of December 31, 2004 totaled $3,910,659. The reduction is due to amortization that occurred during the period.
As of December 31, 2004, our long term notes payable was $5,591,770 and capital lease payment, which reflected payments due under our sublease arrangement for our Barbuda resort, was $4,190,098. As of September 30, 2005, we had $11,977,905 in long term notes payable, which includes the note payable to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. in the amount of $5,049,500. The balance of notes payable reflects our outstanding long term notes payable including our 12% subordinated notes. The note payable to Laurus reflects our payoff of the lease payments under the sublease arrangement for our Barbuda resort.
On June 2, 2005, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an unaffiliated third party to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of two companies which, through a subsidiary wholly owned by the two entities, own and operate a resort located in Antigua, West Indies, known as theSt. James Club, Antigua. The purchase price for the transaction is $31,000,000, of which $27,000,000 is payable at closing and the balance is payable under a promissory note in favor of the seller. The five year note will bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum, and principal and interest will be payable monthly throughout the term based on a five year amortization. The note will be secured by a second mortgage on the resort. We have placed $250,000 in escrow which will be applied towards the total purchase price at closing. We will forfeit our deposit if we fail to close the transaction on the closing date of June 31, 2005. We also agreed to purchase outsta nding timeshare receivables of the seller at a rate of 90% of the amount due at closing. On August 20, 2005, the parties terminate the agreement, and we forfeited our escrow deposit.
The Company continues to experience significant losses from operations. The Company is uncertain as to when it will achieve profitable operations. As discussed in our other SEC filings, our cash requirements for the next 12 months will be significant. Due to our cash requirements, our independent auditors in their audit report for fiscal year end December 31, 2004, contained an explanatory paragraph concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. We will require additional funds to meet our working capital needs at our New York office, which includes the payment of our outstanding debt instruments including amounts past due in favor of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., and from time to time our Barbuda resort. We also will require additional funds for any resort acquisition. Finally, if acquired resorts have a negative cash flow from operations, we may be required to raise additional funds to satisfy these working capital needs. We intend to raise the required funds through the private placement of our debt or equity securities or through bank financing. On June 23, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Westrock Advisors, Inc. for broker and financial advisor services to assist us in obtaining financing. The Company’s chairman is an employee and officer of Westrock. During fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and in the first quarter of 2005, a broker dealer formerly affiliated with our Chairman has acted as our placement agent in the sale of our subordinated notes. These funds were used to satisfy our working capital requirements during these periods. At this time, however, we do not have any firm commitments to raise the additional funds described above. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds to meet our cash requirements as described above, we may be required to curtail, suspend, or discontinue our operations, as well as suspend or discontinue acquisition of additional resorts. Our inability to raise additional funds as described above may forced us to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could adversely impact our business and business strategy, and the value of our capital stock.
During fiscal years 2003 and through December 31, 2004, we raised approximately $5,174,700 in gross proceeds through the private placement offerings of our subordinated notes. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we raised approximately $1,525,590 net of offering costs of $169,510 in connection with the private placement offering of our subordinated notes. The notes were offered at 100% of the face or principal amount in minimum denomination is $25,000 with $1,000 increments thereafter. The notes mature between August 31, 2008 and May 1, 2009, and are payable in full at maturity. Interest accrues at the rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly. Each note contains an immediately detachable stock purchase warrant. The warrant enables the holder to purchase 300 shares of our common stock for each $1,000 in face value of the Notes subscribed. The exercise period of the warrants is five years from the date of issuance. In addition, during 2 004, we issued $1,054,390 in demand notes to a party related to the broker dealer formerly affiliated with our Chairman. The notes bear interest at 12%, and are due and payable on October 1, 2005.
We do not expect to incur research and development costs within the next 12 months.
On July 1, 2005, we commenced a private placement offering of a class of our preferred stock, designated as the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, and has no voting rights. Each share is convertible into 50 shares of common stock of the Company at the option of the holder, or under certain conditions at our option. Annual dividends accrue on the preferred stock at the rate of prime during the first two years, prime plus 2% during year three, and prime plus 3% thereafter. The funds raised from the offering will be used for working capital. We can redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of 106% of the stated value per share. As of the date of this filing, we have received $445,000 in gross offering proceeds.
In connection with our credit facility with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., on or about May 1, 2005, we drew down $5,049,500.00 from the credit facility and returned to Laurus the remainder of the funds held in the restricted account. Under our agreements with Laurus, we were obligated to pay Laurus on the date that we returned the funds remaining in the restricted account interest which accrued on the funds while they were held in the restricted account, plus a fee of 1% of the amount returned. In addition, the Company incurs interest and principal on the outstanding amount which are due and payable monthly. As of the date of this report, the amount that the Company owes Laurus as described above is approximately $441,000, which amount is past due. The Company currently is in negotiations with Laurus to restructure its outstanding debt and past due amounts. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to successfully restructure such debt a rrangement on terms beneficial to the equity holders of the Company.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.
------------------------------
We have no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
