Note 1. Description of Business
National Health Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on March 10, 1989 as “Spectrum Vision Systems of Indiana, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Indiana. The Company changed its name to “National Health Partners, Inc.” on March 13, 2001.
The Company sells membership programs that encompass all aspects of healthcare, including physicians, hospitals, ancillary services, dentists, prescription drugs and vision care through a national healthcare savings network called “CARExpress.” The Company derives almost all of its revenue from the monthly membership fees it receives from its members. It markets its programs through a direct sales force, brokers and agents, unions and associations, chambers of commerce, and a variety of other organizations. The Company typically pays these organizations commissions on the sale price of the membership programs. These organizations typically offer and sell the Company’s membership programs on a part-time basis and may engage in other related or unrelated business activities, including selling the products or services of the Company’s competitors. The Company’s agreements with these organizations are generally for a term of one year and renew automatically for additional one-year terms unless written notice of termination is delivered by either party to the other at least 30 days prior to the then-current term.
The Company contracts with preferred provider organizations and other provider networks for access to the discounted rates they have negotiated with their healthcare providers. The principal suppliers of the healthcare providers that comprise CARExpress are CareMark, Aetna, Optum, Outlook Vision, Integrated Health, Three Rivers. Aetna (Aetna Dental Access) is the actual network name and it is administered through National Benefit Builders. Aetna does not contract directly for this network and instead requires users to contract with their administrator for access to their network. Likewise, Integrated Health and Three Rivers are also networks and are contracted through First Access, Inc., who is the administrator for these networks.The Company selects and utilizes only those provider networks that it believes can deliver adequate savings to its members while providing adequate support for its membership programs with the healthcare providers. It typically pays a per member per month fee for use of the provider networks that is determined in part based on the number of providers participating in the network, the number of members accessing the network, and the particular products or services offered by the providers. The Company’s agreements with the provider networks are generally for a term of between one and two years, may be terminated by either party on between 45 and 180 days’ prior written notice, and renew automatically for additional terms unless so terminated. Most of these agreements are non-exclusive and contain confidentiality provisions.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent quarter or full fiscal year.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation (Continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements include the balances of National Health Partners, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has historically incurred significant losses, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. These reclassifications did not result in any change to the previously reported total assets, net loss or stockholder’s equity.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, have not changed materially.
Note 3. Stock Compensation Expense
The Company records employee stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) using the modified prospective transition method, and records non-employee stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 505. In accordance therewith, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of zero and $18,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 4. Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the applicable period, and is calculated by dividing the reported net loss for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company calculates diluted loss per share by dividing the reported net loss for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to the exercise of all potentially dilutive options and warrants outstanding at the end of the period. A total of 12,825,000 and 4,125,000 shares of common stock underlying options and warrants that were outstanding on March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive. As a result, basic loss per share was equal to diluted loss per share for each period.

The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included above in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
Overview
We are a national healthcare membership organization that was formed to address the need for affordable healthcare nationwide. We create, market and sell membership programs to predominantly underserved markets in the healthcare industry through a national healthcare savings network called CARExpressTM. CARExpressTM is a network of hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and other healthcare providers comprised of over 1,000,000 healthcare providers that render their services and products to CARExpressTM members at discounted prices. CARExpressTM enables people to engage in point-of-service transactions directly with these healthcare providers and pay discounted prices to the providers.
Our membership programs offer savings on healthcare services to persons who are uninsured or underinsured by providing them with access to the same PPOs that are utilized by employers that self-fund at least a portion of their employees’ healthcare costs. Our membership programs are also used to supplement benefit plans and fill in the gaps created by the need to reduce health benefits to keep the costs of health insurance reasonable. We sell our membership programs directly through our sales force and indirectly through brokers and agents, unions and associations, small businesses and other organizations.
We are actively engaged in marketing our membership programs to the public. Our primary objective is to generate increased sales of our membership programs while expanding our position as a provider of unique healthcare membership service programs. The target market for our membership programs is comprised of individuals who have either limited health benefits or no health benefits. Our share of this market is currently less than one percent and has been less than one percent since our inception. Since we are not currently large enough to pursue and support the entire market, we intend to continue to pursue specific opportunities that we identify in this market through our various marketing and distribution channels. Through product design, competitive membership pricing, and a variety of marketing and distribution partners, we are pursuing opportunities in the healthcare market that insurance companies have not addressed.
Operational Metrics
Our revenue consists almost exclusively of recurring monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs. Our members pay us membership fees each month for the duration of their membership. The average membership fee per member per month that we receive for our CARExpressTM health discount programs is approximately $35. Approximately 95% of the CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of our Comprehensive Care Program which is currently sold at a monthly retail price of $39.95. The remaining CARExpressTM health discount programs that we have sold to our current members consist of a mix of our less expensive programs. Approximately 90% of the CARExpress PlusTM membership programs that we have sold to our current members consist of our CARExpress PlusTM Gold Program which is currently sold at a monthly retail price of $137. The remaining CARExpress PlusTM membership programs that we have sold to our current members consist of a mix of our other programs.
We receive each member’s initial monthly payment and billing information at the beginning of the first monthly membership period. Monthly payments for subsequent periods are received at the beginning of the applicable period. The monthly membership fees that we receive are recognized as revenue evenly over the applicable monthly membership period. As a result, there is a delay of four weeks between the date we receive a monthly membership fee and the date we recognize the entire fee as revenue.
A key metric that we use to evaluate our success is our member retention rates. Member retention rates represent the percentage of new members that we acquire that we are able to retain for a specified period of time. Since we incur a large portion of our costs up front and receive recurring membership fees throughout the term of the membership, the longer we are able to retain the members we acquire, the greater the revenue potential of the membership programs that we sell. We believe that the key to obtaining a high member retention rate is to target our marketing campaigns towards those individuals and organizations that are most in need of our programs, most capable of paying for our programs, and most loyal to us and our programs. Member retention rates can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
· | the type of membership programs being sold; |
· | the marketing campaign being used to sell our membership programs; |
· | the financial condition and loyalty of our members; |
· | the distribution channel selling our membership programs; and |
· | the type and amount of compensation being paid to our marketing and distribution partners to sell our membership programs. |
We have obtained valuable information regarding member demographics through the marketing and advertising campaigns that we have conducted and are focusing our marketing and advertising campaigns on members and member groups that we have identified as being most suitable for our membership programs. As a result, we expect our retention rates to continue to improve over the next 12 months as we pursue these opportunities through our various marketing and distribution channels.
Financial Results and Outlook
Our strategy is to continue to expand our position as a provider of unique discount healthcare membership programs. We have implemented several strategic growth initiatives during the past 12 months through which we achieved new contracts and strategic partnerships with a number of organizations, the most profound of which involved a shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and “affinity groups.” An “affinity group” is a group of people who share interests, issues, and a common bond or background, and offer support for each other. Examples of the types of affinity groups that we are working with include unions, associations, chambers of commerce and small business networks. These organizations typically have a large number of members and thus, each one provides us with the opportunity to obtain a large number of sales. In addition, it is far less costly for us to sell our CARExpressTM programs through these organizations than it is for us to engage in expensive, nation-wide marketing and advertising campaigns through marketing companies, and the members that we obtain through these sources tend to remain members for a much longer period of time.
We experienced a decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was lower than our gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was higher than our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our cost-cutting initiatives resulted in a decrease in net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
We generated revenue of $308,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to revenue of $459,543 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We achieved a gross profit of $158,172 and gross profit percentage of 51% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a gross profit of $195,301 and gross profit margin of 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We recognized a net loss of $169,004, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $158,783, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net cash used by operating activities was $36,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $104,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, representing a decrease of 65%.
We will generate future revenue and members primarily through sales of our CARExpressTM health discount programs and our CARExpress PlusTM membership programs to employees and members of affinity groups through our marketing and distribution partners, and various marketing and advertising campaigns. We have entered into agreements with several affinity groups through which we are generating sales of our CARExpressTM membership programs and are currently in discussions with several other organizations regarding the sale of our CARExpressTM membership programs. We intend to finance each of these projects through cash on hand, internally generated cash flows from operating activities and, if necessary, proceeds from the issuance of equity securities and promissory notes. We will use any additional investments that we receive to accelerate the expansion of each of our advertising campaigns and programs and increase sales of our membership programs.
We expect the number of CARExpressTM members generated each month to increase during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as a number of deals that we have either recently closed or that we expect to close begin to generate members for us. We also expect the number of CARExpressTM members generated each month to increase throughout the year and expect our retention rates to improve over the next 12 months since members generated through affinity groups have historically remained members of CARExpressTM for a much longer period of time than members generated through marketing companies. As a result, we expect to generate an increasing amount of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that this increase in revenue combined with the various cost-cutting initiatives that we implemented over the past several quarters will enable us to generate positive cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 as the recurring membership fees from our increasing membership base overtake the costs associated with retaining existing members and obtaining new members. We can provide no assurance, however, that our membership base will increase as projected, that our member retention rates will improve over the next 12 months, that we will generate the aforementioned projected revenue, or that we will generate positive cash flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Critical Accounting Policies
For information regarding our critical accounting policies, please refer to the discussion provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 under the caption “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” and our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included therein.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our business, please refer to the discussion provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 under the caption “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Accounting Pronouncements” and our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included therein.
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011
Revenue
Revenue consists almost exclusively of the monthly membership fees that we receive from members of our membership programs. Revenue decreased $151,280 to $308,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $459,543 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
The decrease of $151,280 resulted primarily from a decrease in sales through employers and affinity groups in connection with the shift in our sales strategy from sales through marketing companies to sales through employers and affinity groups. The remainder of the revenue that we generated during these periods was derived from existing members. We expect revenue to increase over the next 12 months as a result of increased sales to employees and members of affinity groups through our marketing and distribution partners and our various marketing and advertising campaigns.
Direct Costs
Direct costs consist of sales commissions that we pay to our marketing and distribution partners and fees that we pay to our PPOs and provider networks for access to their networks. Direct costs decreased $114,151 to $150,091 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $264,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease of $114,151 was due to decreases of $69,767 for sales commissions and $44,384 for PPO and provider network costs. We expect cost of sales to increase over the next 12 months as increased sales of our membership programs result in higher overall sales commission expenses and provider network costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.
Employee Compensation Expense. Employee compensation expense consists of all salaries and other cash compensation, equity-based compensation, 401(k) contributions and other compensation that we pay to our employees and the related payroll taxes. Employee compensation expense decreased $29,482 to $130,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $159,739 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease of $29,482 was due primarily to decreases of $29,482 for salary and equity expenses and related payroll taxes. We expect employee compensation expense to increase over the next 12 months as we begin to hire additional employees to support the growth of our business.
Professional Fees. Professional fees consist of fees paid to our independent accountants, lawyers, technology consultants and other professionals and consultants. Professional fees increased $7,390 to $78,742 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $71,352 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $7,390 was due primarily to an increase of $25,686 for the amount of expense recognized in connection with equity-based compensation paid to service providers and consultants for various services, offset by a decrease of $18,396 for legal and accounting fees. We expect professional fees to increase over the next 12 months as we incur additional legal, accounting and technology fees in connection with the general expansion of our business and operations.
Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses consist of office supplies expense, computer hardware and system costs, bank service charges, filing fees and dues, non-employee customer service representative expense, rent expense, health insurance and other related benefit costs, financial printer costs, transfer agent costs, the costs of investor relations campaigns and activities, postage and delivery expenses, marketing, general business expenses and miscellaneous general and administrative expenses that are not associated with our employee compensation and professional fees. Other general and administrative expenses decreased $15,359 to $107,634 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $122,993 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease of $15,359 resulted primarily from decreases of $4,264 for supplies, $1,370 for postage, $2,268 for telephone and $2,337 for investor relations as well as decrease in other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses. We expect other general and administrative expenses to increase over the next 12 months as we continue to incur expenses for bank service charges, financial printer services, investor relations campaigns and activities, transfer agent fees, health insurance, rent, non-employee customer service representatives, supplies, computer hardware and systems, and other miscellaneous items associated with the general operation and growth of our business.
Net Loss
Our net loss increased $10,221 to $169,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $158,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $10,221 was due to decreases of $151,280 for revenue, increases of $7,390 for professional fees and $10,543 for other expenses, offset by decreases of $114,151 for direct costs incurred in connection with the sale of our membership programs, $29,482 for employee compensation expense and $15,359 for other general and administrative expenses. We expect to begin generating a net profit from operations during 2012 as the recurring membership fees from our increasing membership base overtake the costs associated with obtaining and retaining members.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities and promissory notes. As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,890.
Net cash used by operating activities was $36,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $104,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $68,495 decrease in cash used by operating activities was due primarily to increases of $7,097 for equity-based compensation expense and $60,157 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
We did not have any cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $80,800 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $40,800 decrease in cash provided by financing activities was due to a decrease of $80,800 in proceeds from the sale of stock and warrants, offset by an increase of $40,000 in proceeds from the sale of notes payable and warrants.
Our primary sources of capital for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are set forth below.
In January 2012, the Company completed a private placement of promissory notes of $30,000 and Class A warrants exercisable into 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor. The principal and interest of 15% of the amount loaned is due on or before the 180th day following the date of the promissory note The Class A warrants have an exercise price of $.002 per share, are exercisable during the period commencing on the date of the grant and ending December 31, 2012, and expire at the end of the exercise period.
In March 2012, the Company completed a private placement of promissory notes of $10,000 and Class A warrants exercisable into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to an accredited investor. The principal and interest of 15% of the amount loaned is due on or before the 180th day following the date of the promissory note The Class A warrants have an exercise price of $.002 per share, are exercisable during the period commencing on the date of the grant and ending December 31, 2012, and expire at the end of the exercise period.
To date, our capital needs have been met primarily through sales of equity securities, promissory notes and proceeds received upon the exercise of warrants held by our security holders. We do not currently maintain a line of credit or term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution. We have used the proceeds from the exercise of warrants and our private offerings of securities to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses we have incurred. These costs and expenses were comprised of operating expenses, which consisted of the employee compensation expenses, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses discussed above, and the costs of sales discussed above to the extent such costs of sales exceeded our revenue.
We believe that our current cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our current operations for the next 12 months. We will need to obtain additional cash resources within the next 12 months to enable us to pay our ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred and finance the growth of our business. We intend to obtain these funds through internally generated cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities and promissory notes. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan or pay our costs and expenses as they are incurred, which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s authorized capital consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 202,803,252 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2012. The total of warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 12,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and stock options exercisable into an aggregate of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2012 equal a total 12,825,000 shares of common stock underlying options and warrants that were outstanding at March 31, 2012. The combination of the 202,803,252 shares of common stock outstanding and the 12,825,000 shares of potentially dilutive options and warrants outstanding at March 31, 2012 gives effect to a potential outstanding total of 215,628,252 of the authorized capital of 250,000,000 shares of common stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet management's objectives.
As of March 31, 2012, we carried out the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management used the framework set forth in the report entitled, “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at March 31, 2012 due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that material weaknesses existed in the following areas as of December 31, 2011 in the areas described below. We have not remediated such material weaknesses through March 31, 2012.
(1) | Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as the sole member of our board of directors. As a result, there are no independent directors monitoring the actions of our senior management. One of the responsibilities of a company’s board of directors is to act as an independent source for monitoring the actions of a company’s senior management. The lack of independent directors on our board of directors constituted a material weakness in our internal controls. |
(2) | Our Chief Executive Officer and sole member of our board of directors resides in the state of Florida and did not visit our sole business office located in Horsham, Pennsylvania during 2011 or in 2012. Senior management has the responsibility to monitor the quality of a company’s internal controls. This is most often performed through the regular management and supervisory activities of the company’s day-to-day operations. The lack of monitoring by our Chief Executive Officer constituted a material weakness in the ability of top management to effectively monitor the quality of our internal controls. |
We are actively seeking to remediate these material weaknesses in the following manner:
(1) | We are currently seeking additional, independent directors to join our board of directors. The addition of such board members would provide us with independent directors who would be monitoring the actions of our top management. Our efforts to do so have been hindered substantially by the fact that we do not have a directors and officers insurance policy in place. Because such policies are very expensive, we believe it is in our best interest to forego the purchase of such a policy and instead focus the use of our financial resources on our development and growth. |
(2) | Our Chief Executive Officer is currently seeking to obtain a residence close in proximity to our Horsham, Pennsylvania business office. This will enable him to engage in the regular management and supervisory activities of the company’s day-to-day operations and, accordingly, adequately monitor the quality of our internal controls. |
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal controls, we believe that our consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with GAAP.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
WE HAVE NOT HELD AN ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS EVEN THOUGH INDIANA CORPORATION LAW REQUIRES US TO HOLD AN ANNUAL MEETING EVERY YEAR. OUR FAILURE TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETINGS COULD RESULT IN A COURT-ORDERED ANNUAL MEETING THAT COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY IN THE EVENT OUR CURRENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS WAS NOT RE-ELECTED.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana. Indiana Code 23-1-29-1 provides that an Indiana corporation shall hold a meeting of the shareholders annually. We have not held a meeting of shareholders for several years. The last time we held an annual meeting of shareholders was February 4, 2004. The last time we held an election of Directors was February 3, 2005 when two Directors were removed from the Board of Directors and two people were elected to serve on the Board of Directors. We do not plan on holding an annual meeting of shareholders during 2012. However, we do plan to hold an annual meeting of shareholders in May or June of 2013.
Indiana Code 23-1-29-3 provides a procedure for a court-ordered meeting of shareholders by stating that the circuit or superior court of the county where our registered office is located may order a meeting to be held and may fix the time and place of the meeting, which shall be conducted in accordance with our articles of incorporation or bylaws: (1) on application of any shareholder of the corporation entitled to participate in an annual meeting, if an annual meeting has not been held within the earlier of six (6) months after the end of the corporation’s fiscal year or fifteen (15) months after our last annual meeting.
Therefore, since all of our shareholders would be entitled to vote at an annual meeting, any one of our shareholders could make application with a circuit or superior court in Marion County, Indiana (the county in which our registered office is located) to force us to call a meeting of the shareholders. The result of such a meeting could be that our current directors could be replaced by new directors, thereby resulting in a change of control of our company.
