Renovo Holdings is a Development Stage Company that intends to capitalize upon the niche market opportunities within the commercial and residential restoration service markets. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 18, 2000 under the name First Impressions.
We have continuously incurred losses since inception. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004 we had a net loss of $299,476 as compared to a net loss of $103,166 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
Our original plan of operation has been to focus our efforts on positioning Renovo to provide complete loss management and restoration services to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. Initially, we were seeking to establish Renovo in the Florida market, with the ability to expedite the recovery process, with the eventual capability of responding to loss and restoration across the United States. However, as a result of our lack of revenue generation, we have not been satisfied with our business plan or original plan of operation. Therefore, during the next 12 months we plan to re-assess our business plan, and aggressively seek out other business opportunities. In an effort to substantiate stockholder value, we are seeking compatible business opportunities. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities. As of June 30, 2005, we have been in preliminary discussions with a private company interested in a potential merger with us. As of the date of this filing, there have been no definitive agreements reached with this company. If and when we enter into a definitive agreement with any company, we will file a current report on Form 8-K.
We plan on satisfying our cash obligations over the next twelve months through additional equity and/or third party financing. We do not anticipate generating revenues sufficient enough to satisfy our working capital requirements within the next twelve months.
A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing. We do not anticipate enough positive internal operating cash flow until such time as we complete an acquisition and can generate substantial revenues, which may take the next few years to fully realize, if ever. In the event we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to cease or significantly curtail our operations. This would materially impact our ability to continue operations.
Our near term cash requirements are anticipated to be offset through the receipt of funds from the Cornell convertible debenture, private placement offerings and loans obtained through private sources. We filed a registration statement (declared effective by the SEC on July 14, 2004) registering 368,687,500 shares of our common stock for the resale by all investors who purchase convertible debentures and to cover the $5,000,000 equity line under the Equity Distribution Agreement. We anticipate being able to use the line of credit to finance our operations. Since inception, we have financed cash flow requirements through debt financing
and issuance of common stock for cash and services. When, and if, we commence operational activities, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital.
Over the next twelve months we believe that existing capital and anticipated funds from operations will not be sufficient to sustain operations and planned expansion. However, the line of credit is anticipated to satisfy our working capital needs, but if it is not available, we will be required to seek additional capital in the future to fund our operations through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our Stockholders.
We anticipate incurring operating losses over the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, locate suitable acquisition targets, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of the Company as a going concern. The Company’s cash position may be inadequate to pay all of the costs associated with its intended business plan. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position, however no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.
Summary of any product and development that we will perform for the term of the plan.
We do not anticipate performing any significant product research and development under our plan of operation. In lieu of product research and development, we anticipate acquiring small renovation businesses.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment. |
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment, as such items are not required by us at this time or anticipated to be needed in the next twelve months; however, as the result of our plan for acquisitions of renovation businesses, we may acquire equipment, and in some cases plants, which relate to the renovation businesses.

Significant changes in the number of employees. |
As of June 30, 2005, we had 1 employee. We are dependent upon Steve W. Carnes our sole officer and director. We will need to hire full time operational staff as our operations commence and we complete anticipated acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR PLAN OF OPERATION
Renovo has historically lost money and losses may continue in the future, which may cause us to curtail operations.
Since our inception we have not been profitable and have lost money on both a cash and non-cash basis. For the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 we incurred net losses of $103,166 and $299,476 respectively. Our accumulated deficit at the end of June 30, 2005 was $1,721,110. Future losses are likely to occur, as we are dependent on spending money to pay for our operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations. Accordingly, we may experience liquidity and cash flow problems. If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted.
Renovo may need to raise additional capital or debt funding to sustain operations.
Unless we can become profitable with the existing sources of funds we have available and our operations, we will require additional capital to sustain operations and we may need access to additional capital or additional debt financing to grow our sales. In addition, to the extent that we have a working capital deficit and cannot offset the deficit from profitable sales or the Cornell line of credit we may have to raise capital to repay the deficit and provide more working capital to permit growth in revenues. We cannot be assured that financing, whether from external sources or related parties, will be available if needed or on favorable terms. Our inability to obtain adequate financing will result in the need to reduce the pace of business operations and the search for acquisition candidates. Any of these events could be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower stock price.
We have been the subject of a going concern opinion for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 from our independent auditors, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we can become profitable or obtain additional funding.
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinions issued in connection with our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, which states that the financial statements raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to make operations profitable or obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We expect to be able to continue operations for twelve months with the cash currently on hand, and from the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Equity Distribution Agreement entered into by the Company and Cornell Capital Partners, executed on April 14, 2004.
We are subject to a working capital deficit, which means that our current assets on December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, were not sufficient to satisfy our current liabilities and, therefore, our ability to continue operations is at risk.
We had a working capital deficit for the year ended December 31, 2004 and quarter ended June 30, 2005, which means that our current liabilities exceeded our current assets on December 31, 2004 by $608,161 and $486,807 on June 30, 2005. Current assets are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within one year and, therefore, may be used to pay current liabilities as they become due. Our working capital deficit means that our current assets on December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, were not sufficient to satisfy all of our current liabilities on those dates. If our ongoing operations do not begin to provide sufficient profitability to offset the working capital deficit, we may have to raise capital or debt to fund the deficit or curtail future operations.
Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly, which may affect our stockholders’ ability to sell shares of our common stock.
Prior to this filing, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that a more active trading market for our common stock will develop. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to enter the market from time to time in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our stock will be stable or appreciate over time. These factors may negatively impact our stockholders' ability to sell shares of our common stock.
Our common stock is deemed to be a low priced “Penny Stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.
Our common stock is deemed to be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:
• | With a price of less than $5.00 per share; | |
• | That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; |
• | Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
10
• | In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.
We could fail to attract or retain key personnel, which could be detrimental to our operations.
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of Stephen W. Carnes, our sole Officer and Director. The loss of the services of Mr. Carnes could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find a successor. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain key-man life insurance policies on Mr. Carnes. We do not have other key employees who manage our operations. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources, we may not be able to attract a sufficient number and quality of staff, when required.
We may acquire assets or other businesses in the future.
We may consider acquisitions of other assets or other business. Any acquisition involves a number of risks that could fail to meet our expectations and adversely affect our profitability. For example:
• | The acquired assets or business may not achieve expected results; |
• | We may incur substantial, unanticipated costs, delays or other operational or financial problems when integrating the acquired assets; |
• | We may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired business; |
• | Our management’s attention may be diverted; or | |
• | Our management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or combined entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our business internally at the same time. |
If these problems arise we may not realize the expected benefits of an acquisition.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to forecast our future results.
As a result of our limited operating history, our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could force us to curtail or cause us to terminate our business operations.

Risks Associated with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.
Our obligations under the secured convertible debentures are secured by all of our assets.
Our obligations under the secured debentures, issued to Cornell Capital Partners are secured by all of our assets. As a result, if we default under the terms of the secured debentures, Cornell Capital Partners could foreclose its security interest and liquidate all of the assets of the Company. This would cease operations.
Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
The sale of shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result our net income per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue in order to receive the maximum cash advance allowed under the Equity Distribution Agreement. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.
The sale of our stock under our equity distribution agreement could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.
In many circumstances the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market's ability to take up the increased stock or if the Company has not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow the Company. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of common stock. Under the terms of our Equity Distribution Agreement, we may request numerous cash advances. Even if we use the cash advances to grow our revenues and profits or invest in assets that are materially beneficial to us, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more so which in turn may cause long holders of the stock to sell their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market. If there is an imbalance on the sell side of the market for the stock the price will decline. It is not possible to predict if the circumstances whereby short sales could materialize or to what the share price could drop. In some companies that have been subjected to short sales the stock price has dropped to near zero. This could happen to our stock.
We may not be able to access sufficient funds under the Equity Line of Credit when needed.
We are dependent on external financing to fund our operations. Our financing needs are expected to be partially provided from the Equity Distribution Agreement and the additional secured convertible debentures to be purchased by Cornell Capital Partners. No assurances can be given that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts or at all when needed, in part, because we are limited to a maximum cash advance of $200,000 during any seven trading day
12
period. In addition, based on an assumed offering price of $0.016 per share, we will only be able to draw a total net amount of $3,667,500 under the Equity Distribution Agreement. This net amount will utilize all of the 250,000,000 shares of our common stock registered for the Equity Distribution Agreement under our registration statement filed on June 30, 2004. If the actual average price at which we sell shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement is less than $0.016 per share, we would need to register additional shares to fully utilize the funds available under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Based on the assumed offering price of $0.016 per share, we would have to issue to Cornell Capital Partners 315,565,566 shares in order to receive the entire $5,000,000 available to us under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
We may not be able to obtain a cash advance under the equity distribution agreement if Cornell Capital Partners holds more than 9.9% of our common stock.
In the event Cornell Capital Partners holds more than 9.9% of our then-outstanding common stock, we will be unable to obtain a cash advance under the Equity Distribution Agreement. A possibility exists that Cornell Capital Partners may own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock at a time when we would otherwise plan to make an advance under the Equity Distribution Agreement. In that event, if we are unable to obtain additional external funding or generate revenues from operations, we could be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. As of the end of the period covered by this report, Steven W. Carnes, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, Mr. Carnes, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
