If all warrants are exercised, 8,376,924 shares will be issued under this private placement for gross proceeds of $8,567,308.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Caution about Forward-Looking Statements
This management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of C-Chip Technologies Corporation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2003 and the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2004. Because of the nature of a relatively new and growing company the reported results will not necessarily reflect the future.
This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Overview
Since our acquisition of the C-Chip technology in January 2003, we now develop and market products and provide services which use integrated wireless communications technology, transaction processing, software applications and the Internet, and when location is required, Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to enable users to efficiently access, control and manage remote assets. Our products and services are designed to be easy-to-use and cost-effective. We allow our customers to use our website to remotely access, control, locate and monitor different types of equipment or services. Our products and services allow users to selectively enable, disable (on/off) targeted equipment, or send other commands at will, from anywhere to almost anywhere in North America. We believe our technology provides significant value to business users by increasing the efficiency of their operations and lowering their costs.
Currently, our basic automotive product, the Credit Manager, is a one-way communications tool enabling users to remotely activate / deactivate a vehicle through a starter interrupt module. Our second line of products, the SHADOW series, offers two-way communication and the added ability to determine location (GPS) as well as monitor and control some of the vehicles' functions. Our third line of products, the HAWK and the FALCON, are effective anti-theft devices for automobile and power sport vehicles based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. Whereas the HAWK specifically targets the power sport market, the FALCON addresses the automobile industry. Our different products are targeted to financial institutions for credit management solutions, insurance companies for security management solutions and urban fleets, car rental companies, and car dealerships for asset management solutions, all of which have a demonstrable need for these devices but which remains vastly underserved by much more expensive offerings.
Our products and services are within the "Telematics" industry. Telematics refers to the ability to remotely access, control, locate and manage different products or services. The telematics sector is a new and emerging industry poised for explosive growth over the next 3-5 years. Available and planned applications include location-based and navigation services, info-tainment services, automatic emergency callout in the event of an accident, security and anti-theft systems, remote diagnostics and repair, logistics and fleet management, and office applications.
- 15 -
Our core technology is readily applicable to the credit asset, security and asset management industries. Because there is a large, readily available market for telematics applications for automotive products, we have positioned our initial product development effort toward this industry. Yet, contrary to most competitors in the field who tend to offer extensive and highly priced solutions, our goal is to develop practical solutions at low prices. This has largely been achieved. Further, contrary to most products and services currently available on the market today, our solutions are offered to users on a pay-per-use basis.
We have targeted our initial products and services to the large automotive sector, but our basic technology has applications to a variety of assets which span several business sectors including industrial equipment, office equipment and consumer electronic products.
In January 2003, we began the development of wireless telemetry devices offering, through a Web-based application, the ability to remotely access, control and manage consumer electronic products, including plasma screens, TVs and other home appliances. Currently branded as the MPP and the MP2, our devices will enable credit grantors to use the Internet to access, monitor and control the use of consumer electronic products that they leased or financed to consumers. The MP2, in addition to the above features, also offers security elements such as motion detection to alert a central monitoring center in case of theft, or unauthorized movement. Both the MPP and the MP2 are currently being tested and we expect their commercial introduction to the Rent-to-Own marketplace later this summer. Within this market segment, we will directly be targeting approximately 30 retail companies and actual sales results are expected to be accomplished promptly.
In early March, at the request of potentially large North American distributor, we initiated the development of a solution to monitor and secure stand-alone assets with no power source. The first commercial application for this innovative product is for a Canadian company that is expected to use our device to monitor the movement and protect dumpsters used by the construction industry, garbage collection companies and other applications. Currently branded as the SPP, whenever our device is attached to an asset that is being moved by any party, a signal is sent in real time to our security center indicating its path, speed, direction and location within a few feet so that the authorized party can take necessary action, or know with precision the whereabouts of the asset to determine the efficiency of its movements. Our SPP has been thoroughly field tested to the satisfaction of a potential customer and we expect an initial order shortly.
In March, we also launched our e-store,www.cchipstore.com, a virtual gateway for our agents, resellers and distributors offering credit, security and asset management solutions. Our e-store is now accessible 24/7 for all to visit. Agents, resellers and distributors have access to a restricted area for online volume buying and the public area allows consumers to order our products and services directly. Our e-store is a fully secure transactional website developed to give our resellers and distributors added value and to increase our presence on the Web. Different marketing strategies to increase our traffic on our e-store have been implemented and we are now seeing a significant increase in the number of daily visitors and the volume of transactions processed online.
In the last quarter ended March 31, 2004, while we accomplished significant milestones relative to product development and testing, financing, sales and marketing, all at a time when our headcounts almost doubled to 27 full-time employees and consultants, although our actual revenue have grown substantially, they were nevertheless below our initial expectations. A number of factors have limited our effectiveness in selling our products and services in the latest quarter, including:
- 16 -
- Pay Technologies LLC ("PayTeck"), one of our US distributors for our Credit Manager branded under a white label agreement as the WebTeck Account Manager, has generated very limited revenue for our Company. As PayTeck is actually in a conflict of interest being both a distributor of our credit management solutions and also a manufacturer of its own credit management solution, we have come to the conclusion that PayTeck can not properly represent our products, or the best interest of our Company within the Buy-Here Pay-Here (BHPH) business market segment. Although our Company still entertains a business relationship with PayTeck, we expect minimal revenue from this business conduit in the future.
As a consequence to the above, we implemented alternative distribution measures for our different products and services in the last quarter. These measures could not immediately impact on our sales, but are expected to have a lasting positive contribution in a not too distant future. Among other, we have concluded 10 different non-exclusive agreements with automotive distributors and resellers in the US to cover all states and territories and, in Canada, we now have 2 non-exclusive agreements in place and more will be added shortly. Although our distributors and resellers do not present all the same potential, some offer a very significant upside. For instance, we announced recently a distribution agreement with Northland Auto Enterprise covering approximately 200,000 new and used car dealers across the US.
- On a number of occasions in the last quarter we were unfortunately not in a position to deliver on what could have been for us significant product orders due a lack of readily available inventory. Lead-time on the purchase of product components, but more importantly our financial condition did allow us to stock sufficient product or components as we began the last quarter and caused us to lose potential orders that would have brought our revenues to a very substantive level.
This situation has now largely been corrected with the equity financings that we were able to conclude in the quarter ended March 31 and subsequent to it. Our first private placement of common shares and share purchase warrants was completed in the quarter and a second private placement, for $1,650,000, was initiated; it was completed in April. If all share purchase warrants outstanding are exercised from both private placements, we could have an additional $12.3 million in cash proceeds. With such capital available to us, we believe our Company now has the ability to stock products and components in sufficient quantities so as not miss significant business opportunities.
- Although our policy is to offer our customers off-the-shelf solutions, some applications do require customization. In the last quarter, we encountered potential end-users or distributors who required customization to our off-the-shelf solutions. While this requirement for customization has delayed the processing of some potential orders in the last quarter, we believe the end result will be positive for our Company as in the process we have widened our offering of products and services and, at the same time, improved their ease-of-use and the benefits they offer to our business clientele.
- 17 -
Our technology is based on a platform that can be adapted to a wide number of products, including office equipment, industrial equipment and consumer electronics products. We are now beginning to market a comprehensive offering to the automotive sector with solutions encompassing the credit, asset and security management industry. With the progress that we have made in the last quarter on the development of products related to the consumer electronic market and industrial equipment, we expect to generate revenues from an expanding product base very shortly.
Within the credit management sector, we have now finished the development and completed extensive testing of the Credit Manager, a benefit-denial receiver that can be incorporated into any vehicle. We began commercial delivery of the Credit Manager last October and have so far delivered approximately 2,500 units. We are now putting significant efforts to increase our distribution network in the US and in Canada and, thus far, the reaction from the marketplace indicates a strong interest for the Credit Manager and our other credit management solutions. Our intent is to rapidly build a strong and effective distribution network in the US and in Canada. Once in place, our goal is to rapidly capture about 10% of the addressable BHPH market in the US. With a product that is cost-effective, as easy to use as a click of the mouse and that can reduce payment delinquency significantly, we believe this goal to be attainable.
Continuing with credit management applications, but for consumer electronic related products, our MPP and MP2 are currently being tested and we expect their commercial introduction to the Rent-to-Own marketplace later this summer. Within this market segment, we will directly be targeting approximately 30 retail companies and actual sales results are expected to be accomplished promptly. The MPP offers credit grantors, using the Internet, the ability to remotely access, monitor and control the use of consumer electronic products that they leased or financed to consumers. The MP2, in addition to the above features, also offers as a security element, motion detection to alert a central monitoring center in case of theft, or unauthorized movement.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we have completed extensive field tests for the SHADOW, a device offering wireless vehicle control, monitoring and tracking features. In all, we have tested over 300 units of the SHADOW. Different potential customers, including resellers, distributors, car dealers, wireless carriers and OEM equipment manufacturers, have conducted field tests of the device. Market response has been very positive. The commercial launch of the SHADOW has commenced and our intent is to offer our tracking solution at a very competitive price point to enable a potentially large distribution within the business segment that we are targeting. We believe the Shadow will appeal the credit management industry, but also to the security and asset management sector.
Acquisition of Canadian Security Agency (2004) Inc.
In February 2004, to ensure that we would be able to provide turnkey security packages to consumers and businesses, we purchased Canadian Security Agency (2004) Inc., a private Montreal-based business established in 1984 that provides security services to large corporate accounts, including courier and trucking companies. With this acquisition our intent is to be able to offer a complete infrastructure to monitor our tracking devices from a central point, alerting car owners, police authorities and insurance companies when car thefts occur. Further, the addition of Canadian Security Agency to our basic business provides us instant mass in a field we are very actively targeting as well as increasing our credibility in the provision of security and asset management applications. Canadian Security Agency is performing as expected with the cost cutting measures that we have implemented since the closing of the acquisition and we expect this new segment of our business to contribute positively to our overall g rowth.
- 18 -
To enable our distributors sell our products and services more effectively as a security management application, we have marketed to a number of large insurance companies different wireless solutions aimed at preventing the theft of cars and power sport vehicles. Specifically, in the last quarter, we have sought to have the HAWK, the FALCON and the SHADOW as products recognized by the insurance industry as solutions preventing theft of vehicles, or contributing to their rapid recovery if ever stolen. While further work is to be done, significant milestones were achieved on that front. For instance, Allstate who is offering a discount of up to 25% on the insurance premium charged to any policyholder who has installed our ultimate security solutions on their vehicle now recognizes our anti-theft solutions. In the power sport vehicle market, Jevco is an example of an insurance company offering discounts to policyholders once one of our solutions has been installed. We believe recognition for our product offe rings by insurance companies can only enhance their attractiveness in the marketplace and our intent is to continue to pursue obtaining more recognition by insurance companies.
In February we announced a strategic alliance and licensing agreement with 7Bridge Capital Partners Limited ("7Bridge"), a sister company, for the marketing of our family of products and services in Asia with an immediate emphasis on opening the China market. This venture is progressing as expected. 7Bridge is currently focusing on establishing in-roads to market and distribute the HAWK and the FALCON in China and positive results are expected down the road. At this point, we consider our penetration of the Chinese market as a long term goal.
Plan of Operation For the Next Twelve Months
Until we are able to generate positive cash flow, we will continue to fund our operations through the issuance of common stock, the issuance of short and long-term debt, and loans from shareholders and directors. In the three months ended March 31, 2004 the company: issued common shares as follows:
| * | 872,727 in a private placement for net proceeds of $432,681 |
| * | 374,263 common shares for stock options for proceeds of $81,816 |
| * | 180,000 common shares for services valued at $66,200 |
| * | 1,600,000 common shares for the acquisition of CSA |
In the nine months ended March 31, 2004 the company issued a total of 10,734,425 shares of common stock:
| * | 3,655,214 for cash proceeds of $1,656,500 |
| * | 909,091 for redemption of a $500,000 Promissory Note |
| * | 3,910,120 for conversion of a Debenture Payable with a face value of $2,000,000 |
| * | 660,000 for consulting services valued at $203,200 |
| * | 1,600,000 common shares for the acquisition of CSA . |
- 19 -
As of March 31, 2004, our principal capital resources have been acquired through a combination of short and long-term debt, and the issuance of our common stock. We have a $300,000 credit line available for CSA operations. Our ability to emerge from our current development stage with respect to our planned business activity is dependent upon our successful efforts to commercialize our current and future products, thus attaining profitable business operations, and/or to obtain additional equity financing. Our first private placement of common shares included the issue of 3,873,637 common share purchase warrants expiring in two years and having an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
We have set ourselves the goal to be recognized as a leading provider of credit, asset and security management solutions for financial and leasing institutions, insurance companies and different vertical markets touching the management of urban fleets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred revenue. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and resu lts of operations are discussed below.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's C-Chip technology is still in the development stage and has generated limited commercial sales of products. The Company developed prototypes for testing by potential customers which were billed for a portion of the costs incurred. The Company recorded these cost recoveries when paid as a credit to the respective expense in the statement of operations.
Sales of security services commenced on the acquisition of CSA. Clients are provided ongoing personnel and products based upon service agreements and revenue is recognized as services are performed.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
- 20 -
Intangible Assets
Our company is in the development stage and all costs relating to research and development are charged to operations as incurred. An acquired intangible asset that represents technology that has reached technological feasibility is capitalized at cost. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over four years and recorded commencing in the first quarterly period following acquisition. Acquired in-process research and development will be expensed on acquisition. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets".
Amortization of Equipment and Property
Our company's equipment and property are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated on the declining balance method, except for the leasehold improvements where the straight-line method is used, at the following annual rates or period:
Computer equipment | | 30% |
Furniture | | 20% |
Leasehold improvements | | 5 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 20% |
Stock-Based Compensation
We have elected to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price of our employee stock options is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation for employees is recognized on the straight-line basis over the vesting period of the individual options. Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based awards, and recognizes compensation expense based on the fair market value of the stock award or fair market value of the goods and services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, companies that elec t to account for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 are required to disclose the pro forma net income (loss) that would have resulted from the use of the fair value based method under SFAS 123.
Acquisition of Business
The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Canadian Security Agency (2004) Inc., from the date of acquisition of February 17, 2004.
The Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of CSA in exchange for 1,600,000 restricted common shares of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, 600,000 shares were released on closing and 1,000,000 of the shares are held in escrow as contingent consideration related to revenue targets and repayment of a note receivable. The note receivable in the amount of $473,271 is due from the seller on or before February 17, 2005. The released shares were recorded at their fair value of $468,000.
- 21 -
Income Tax
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. We have adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" as of our inception. Pursuant to SFAS 109 we are required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because we cannot be assured it is more likely than not we will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Results of Operations
The results of our operations for the three and nine month periods ending March 31, 2004 are included in Item 1 herein.
On the January 2003 acquisition of all of the assets related to the C-Chip technology we discontinued our mineral exploration business and reallocated all relevant development costs, totaling $602,606 to Loss from Discontinued Operations. On February 16, 2004 we acquired Canadian Security Agency (2004) Inc. and have consolidated the results of their operations since acquisition.
Our company posted a net loss of $698,027 for the three months ending March 31, 2004. The net loss for the nine month period ending March 31, 2004 was $3,009,759. Significant non cash expenses incurred during the nine month period were: $1,418,451 for the discount on conversion of our Debenture; $203,200 for stock issued in payment of consulting fees; $297,606 for stock based compensation and $132,818 for depreciation and amortization. Had we determined stock based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant for employee stock options, the net loss would have increased to $811,578 for three months March 31, 2004 and to $3,342,250 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Reported losses for the three and nine month periods ending March 31, 2003 were $878,888 and $888,972, respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our acquisition of all of the assets related to the C-Chip technology in early 2003, our company has been engaged in the development and the marketing of wireless solutions that offer complete remote access, control and the management over targeted equipment and services. This business was expanded to include a range of security services with the acquisition of CSA in early 2004.
As of March 31, 2004 current assets were $1,108,982, including cash of $361,051and a Note Receivable of $473,271. This compares with our current assets of $20,281 at June 30, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, we had working capital of $477,482 compared to a deficiency of $828,127 at June 30, 2003. The substantial improvement in working capital is primarily attributable to proceeds from our private placement of common shares and conversion of a $500,000 Promissory Note to 909,090 shares and 909,090 share purchase warrants.
- 22 -
The Company continues to conduct research, develop its product line and grow its newly acquired security services business. Accordingly it is not profitable and in the near term will continue to rely on existing resources and additional loans and equity from shareholders. A second private placement of common shares and warrants, described in the Financial Statements accompanying this report, will largely meet the Company's requirements for the next year. It has realized gross proceeds of $1,650,000 in April and has share purchase warrants that, if all are exercised, will provide an additional $6,917,308.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The requirements of SFAS No. 150 apply to issuers' classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of non-p ublic entities. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The transition provisions did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS N o. 148 on January 1, 2003.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated under such Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
- 23 -
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management, including the President and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the President and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three month period ended March 31, 2004.
