PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
ForgeHouse, Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), is a corporation that was formed in Nevada on November 19, 2004. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, ForgeHouse, LLC (“ForgeHouse”), is a limited liability company that was organized in Georgia on June 24, 2002. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Exchange, dated January 31, 2008 (the “Exchange Agreement”), we acquired ForgeHouse. Our principal place of business is located at 4625 Alexander Drive, Suite 150, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005. We develop, market, sell, and distribute software for both the commercial and governmental marketplace.
Products
Our products include a web-based software application product called “OneVision®” (referred to herein as “OneVision”), which offers solutions for clients requiring compliance standards to automate best practices, policies, and procedures.
OneVision is a software application that acts as a virtual command and control system for security, safety, and maintenance operations. The architecture of OneVision enables minute-by-minute monitoring of policies and procedures across the entire organization, with constant monitoring and process improvement. OneVision is highly configurable and scaleable and is suited for the government, the military, critical infrastructures, Fortune 1000 corporations, and commercial markets. OneVision is highly flexible and can be configured for facilities and organizations with single and multiple sites world-wide.
We have also developed software that enables access and data collection to the OneVision application via mobile technologies (“PDA”). This software, known as MORe, enables security officers, maintenance engineers, and other field operatives to download and undertake mobile tours and inspections scheduled in OneVision and to report directly into the OneVision server from internet enabled PDAs for incident reporting and compliance.
Sales, Marketing, and Distribution
We are a customer-oriented business. To this end, we plan to build internal sales and support capabilities through a direct sales force to implement our go-to-market strategies and tactical implementation plans for new account acquisition, existing partner growth, and marketing “best practices.” As we establish our modes of selling, we will seek to build an indirect sales channel through key distributors, value-added resellers, and original equipment manufacturers. Currently, we are working to enhance the capabilities of our software platform to meet additional needs as identified or requested by our customers. These additional feature-sets will be included in new version releases, which are currently not available. Once they are available, we expect to assemble a direct sales force, and eventually an indirect sales force, to assist with distributing the new product to current and new customers.
Real Property
We lease property at 4625 Alexander Drive, Suite 150, Alpharetta, Georgia 30005. The fair market value for our office space is $3,622.50 per month. We believe that our office space is adequate for our current operations and expected future needs.
Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding.
Competition
The software development industry is highly competitive. The principal areas of competition are price, delivery time, customer service, and ability to meet customer needs. Our products compete with a wide range of products produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers, most of which have substantially greater financial, marketing, and distribution resources than we do.
As consolidation in the software industry continues, fewer companies dominate particular markets, changing the nature of the market and potentially providing consumers with fewer choices. Also, many of these companies offer a broader range of products than ours, so we may not be able to compete effectively against these competitors. Furthermore, we may use strategic acquisitions, as necessary, to acquire technology, people and products for our overall product strategy. The trend toward consolidation in this industry may result in increased competition in acquiring these technologies, people or products, resulting in increased acquisition costs or the inability to acquire the desired technologies, people or products. Any of these changes may have a material adverse effect on future revenues and operating results.
Price competition is often intense in the software market, especially for security software products. Many of our competitors have significantly reduced the price of their products. Price competition may continue to increase and become even more significant in the future, resulting in reduced profit margins. Competitive pressures in the security software category could also cause our products to be unable to gain or lose market-share or result in price erosion, which could have a material adverse affect on business and results.
To date, our significant competition includes the following companies: D3 Security Management Systems, Tiscor, PPM 2000, Siebel Field Service (Oracle), Flexguard, Send Word Now.
Our unique software solution offers a comprehensive security and safety software platform. Most of the companies providing security software focus on incident management, broadcast alert, and/or tour verification. We have created a solution that combines seamless incident management/mobile reporting and tour verification, and, in addition, we added a task scheduler, officer guidance through incidents, threat level management, automatic emergency alert notification, tenant services, procedure management, extensive reports, and trend analysis into one software platform. The competitors generally offer only a portion of OneVision’s following features:
| · | Departmentalized regional management, customizable even on a per-site basis from global to local management; |
| · | Threat level management from global to local sites; |
| · | Direct-automated emergency alerts to key personnel (versus alerts sent by dispatcher); |
| · | Compliance-driven alert if task is not completed, with user, time and date stamp; |
| · | Alternate schedules functionality (threat level management); |
| · | Managing by exceptions (incomplete and irregularities found by officers while on tour are reported automatically); |
| · | Built-in task scheduler with confirmation; |
| · | Integration with smart cameras, sensors, access control, and other legacy systems; |
| · | Managers have one login to review all security and maintenance issues throughout their sites or clients; |
| · | Best practices and compliance platform; and |
| · | Sold as a hosted or enterprise solution. |
Dependence on One Major Customer
Effective as of April 15, 2007, we entered into a three-year Service and Software License Agreement (the “Software License”) with Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., pursuant to which Securitas became a licensee of certain of our software. The Software License initially was exclusive with respect to private sector security guard companies in the United States; however, during the year ended December 31, 2008, Securitas did not purchase sufficient licenses from us for it to maintain such exclusivity. Further, the Software License was always non-exclusive with respect to governmental entities and to companies that utilize third-party vendors to provide their security guard services. The Software License is subject to early termination upon the “Default” of either party, which is defined as any of a bankruptcy proceeding, a dissolution, an inability to pay obligations as they come due (in conjunction with a written acknowledgement thereof), or a material breach under the Software License. The Software License consisted of a non-transferable limited license in favor of Securitas to use the licensed software at specified locations solely for the purpose of Securitas providing facility security services to its customers. Pursuant to the terms of the Software License, Securitas is to pay certain fees to us, consisting of a base monthly service fee and additional annual service fees, as required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we derived sufficient revenues resulting from the Software License for us no longer to be considered to be a “development stage” company. Notwithstanding such change in accounting treatment, we cannot provide any assurance that the Software License will be expanded nor that we will receive sufficient revenues therefrom to effectuate our business plan or to generate profitable operations. Further, the Software License constituted the source of substantially all of our revenues.
Intellectual Property
We have been granted patents in India, Australia, and South Africa. We also have patents pending in the United States, Canada, Israel, and Europe.

Regulation
We are subject to various state and local statutes and regulations, including those relating to the export of technology outside the United States. Compliance with these provisions has not had, and we do not expect such compliance to have, any material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, net income, or competitive position. Regulatory guidelines, however, are constantly changing, and there can be no assurance that our products will be able to comply with ongoing government regulations. We acknowledge ongoing litigation in the intellectual property arena. If adverse decisions are handed down, compliance may have an effect on our capital expenditures, net income, or competitive position.
Government mandates and new legislation are driving enterprises to improve the security of their networks. Mandates and laws affecting systems security include:
| | Executive Order 13231: Critical Infrastructure Protection in the Information Age, October 2001 - This order directs a senior executive branch board to work with State and local governments, industry and others to create and manage systems for cyber security threat warning and incident analysis. |
| | Title III of the 2002 E-Gov Act - The Federal Information Security Management Act (“FISMA”) mandates that each government agency perform a risk assessment of the security of their information systems and mitigate the risk of attack. |
| | Presidential Directive 63 (PDD 63), May 1998 - This White Paper explains key elements of the Clinton Administration’s policy on critical infrastructure protection. |
| | Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act Of 1996 (“HIPAA”) - Certain provisions of HIPAA require the organizations protect the privacy of the patient data. |
| | Security of Federal Automated Information Systems, November 2000 - This OMB memorandum is issued as a reminder to Federal agencies and Departments of their responsibilities for the security of their respective automation resources. |
| | Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 - Section 404 of the act requires that auditors of public companies assess the effectiveness of management’s assessment of internal controls. A part of internal controls is the security against loss of data or unauthorized access to data. |
| | Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLB”) includes provisions to protect consumers’ personal financial information held by financial institutions. |
Research & Development
Our research and development expenses for the fiscal years 2007 and 2008 amounted to approximately $284,442 and $131,147, respectively. Research and development is paramount for us as a method to maintain a competitive advantage. None of our research and development costs was borne directly by our customers.
Employees
We currently have five employees, all of whom are full-time. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, nor is any represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider relations with our employees to be good.
RISK FACTORS
This Annual Report and the documents accompanying or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements about equity exchange transaction and us within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements generally include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to our future economic performance, and can generally be identified by the use of the words “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “forecast,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “pro forma,” “goal,” “estimates,” “continues,” “anticipate,” and similar words.
These forward-looking statements necessarily depend upon assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect. Although we believe that the assumptions and estimates reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that we will achieve our plans, intentions or expectations. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ in significant ways from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Such statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” below and to be contained in our subsequent periodic filings pursuant to our obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such risks, uncertainties and changes in condition, significance, value and effect could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated events. Except as may be required under federal law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur.
Please refer to the cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements” immediately above. The discussion below highlights some important risks we have identified in connection with the proposed equity exchange transaction and related transactions, but these should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect our future performance and condition, financial or otherwise. We do not have a policy of updating or revising forward-looking statements, and silence by management over time should not be assumed to mean that actual events are bearing out as estimated in such forward-looking statements.
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase or sell our securities, you should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Current Report, before making a decision to purchase our securities; however, as stated above, the risks below should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect our future performance and condition, financial and otherwise. You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Our Marketplace
We have a limited history as a provider of security software products. As a result, it is difficult to evaluate our business and prospects.
ForgeHouse was formed in 2002, and, therefore, has a limited operating and financial history available to help our stockholders evaluate our past performance. Moreover, our limited historical financial results may not accurately predict our future performance. Companies in their initial stages of development present substantial business and financial risks and may suffer significant losses. As a result of the risks specific to our new business and those associated with new companies in general, it is possible that we may not be successful in implementing our business strategy.
ForgeHouse has a history of losses and accumulated deficits that may continue in the future and, along with “going concern” reports, may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price by, among other things, making it more difficult to obtain debt or equity financing.
ForgeHouse has incurred net losses each fiscal year since its formation in 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2008, it recorded a net loss of approximately $2,488,000, as compared to a net loss of approximately $1,645,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our accumulated deficit through December 31, 2008, was approximately $7,110,000.
Our recurring losses from operations, limited cash resources and continued negative cash flow from operations, and accumulated deficit, among other factors, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and led our independent registered public accounting firm to include an explanatory paragraph related to our ability to continue as a going concern in their report for the year-ended December 31, 2008.
Reports of independent auditors questioning a company’s ability to continue as a going concern generally are viewed unfavorably by analysts and investors. This may make it difficult for us to raise additional debt or equity financing needed for our continued operations or for planned expansion, particularly if we are unable to attain and maintain profitable operations in the future. Consequently, future losses may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. You should review the reports of our independent registered public accounting firm and its financial statements and unaudited pro forma financial information before making any investment decision.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in future periods, and we may fail to meet expectations.
Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors. In future quarters, our operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and the price of our common stock may fall. Factors that could cause quarterly fluctuations include:
| · | the timing and volume of orders for our software. Customers typically order our products and services only after other vendors have provided the infrastructure for their network. There can be delays in that process. It is therefore difficult for us to predict the timing of orders for products and services by customers; |
| · | the ability of our customers to expand their operations and increase their subscriber base, including their ability to obtain financing; |
| · | Changes in our pricing policies or competitive pricing by our competitors; |
| · | the timing of releases of new products by manufacturers of equipment with which our products operate; and |
| · | the timing of product introductions by competitors. |
We have difficulty predicting the volume and timing of orders from new customers.
Due to the foregoing factors, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating results are not a good indication of our future performance.
Our lengthy sales cycle makes it difficult to anticipate the timing of sales, and revenue may vary from period to period.
The sales cycle associated with the purchase or license of our products is lengthy, and the time between the initial proposal to a prospective customer and the signing of a license agreement can be as long as one year. Our products involve a commitment of capital, time and internal resources that may be significant to the customer. In addition, market conditions have lengthened the sales cycles associated with our products. These delays may reduce our revenue in a particular period without a corresponding reduction in our costs, which could hurt our results of operations for that period.
We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis and expect to continue to incur net losses in future quarters.
In order to become profitable, we must increase our revenues or decrease expenses. We may not be able to increase or even maintain our revenues, and we may not achieve sufficient revenues or profitability in any future period. We could continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.
We will need to generate additional revenues from the sales of our products and services or take steps to further reduce operating costs to achieve and maintain profitability. We expect that we will face increased competition, which will make it more difficult to increase our revenues. Even if we are able to increase revenues, we may experience price competition that will lower our gross margins and our profitability. Any increase in the percentage of our revenues attributed to indirect channels and services, both of which generally have lower margins, will lower our gross margins.
If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.
We face intense competition from companies that may have greater resources than we do, and if we are unable to compete with them effectively, our business may suffer.
The market for our products is very competitive. Many of our current and future competitors may have advantages over us, including:
| · | longer operating histories; |
| · | substantially greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources; and |
| · | greater name recognition. |
This may enable our competitors to:
| · | develop and expand their delivery infrastructure and service offerings more quickly; |
| · | adapt better to new or emerging technologies and changing client needs; |
| · | take advantage of acquisitions and other opportunities more readily; |
| · | devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their services; and |
| · | adopt more aggressive pricing policies. |
Our current and potential competitors have established, and may continue to establish in the future, cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that would increase their ability to compete with us. In addition, competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer needs, or to devote more resources to promoting and selling their products. Furthermore, some of our competitors may also be able or willing to provide their clients with additional benefits at lower overall costs. If we fail to adapt to market demands and to compete successfully with existing and new competitors, our business and financial performance would suffer.
Our future growth and profitability will depend in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing expenditures and our ability to select the right markets and media in which to advertise.
| · | create greater awareness of our brand; |
| · | identify the most effective and efficient level of spending in each market, media and specific media vehicle; |
| · | determine the appropriate creative message and media mix for advertising, marketing and promotional expenditures; |
| · | effectively manage marketing costs (including creative and media) in order to maintain acceptable customer acquisition costs; |
| · | select the right market, media and specific media vehicle in which to advertise; and |
| · | convert prospect inquiries into actual orders. |
Our planned marketing expenditures may not result in increased revenue or generate sufficient levels of brand name and program awareness. We may not be able to manage our marketing expenditures on a cost-effective basis whereby our customer acquisition cost may exceed the contribution profit generated from each additional customer.
If we do not increase market awareness of our products, our business may not grow.
We sell our software products primarily through our direct sales force. Our financial success and our ability to increase revenues in the future may depend considerably upon the productivity of our direct sales force. Our ability to increase revenues significantly will suffer if we fail to attract and retain qualified sales personnel.
If we do not continue to improve our software products and develop new software products that keep pace with competitive product introductions and technological developments, satisfy diverse and rapidly evolving customer requirements and achieve market acceptance, we may be unable to maintain existing customers and/or attract new customers.
We have in the past experienced delays in releasing new software products and product enhancements and may experience similar delays in the future. These delays or problems in the installation or implementation of our new releases may cause customers to forego purchasing or licensing our software products.
If we are unable to attract additional customers beyond our current limited number, our future success could be limited or adversely affected.
A substantial portion of our revenues has been, and is expected to continue to be, generated from a limited number of customers with large financial commitments. As a result, if a large contract is cancelled or deferred or an anticipated contract does not materialize, our business would be harmed. Our future success will depend on our ability to attract additional customers beyond our current limited number. The growth of our customer base could be adversely affected by one or more of the following:
| · | customer unwillingness to implement our software products; |
| · | any delays or difficulties that we may incur in completing the development and introduction of our planned products or product enhancements; |
| · | our customers’ inability to raise capital to finance their business plans and capital expenditures; |
| · | new product introductions by our competitors; |
| · | any failure of our products to perform as expected; |
| · | any difficulty we may incur in meeting customers’ delivery requirements; or |
| · | the market perception of our financial condition and/or current stock price. |
We depend on Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. for a significant portion of our revenues and if we lose this relationship, our revenues would decline.
Recently, a substantial portion of our net sales has been derived from sales to Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2008, 77% of our net sales were to Securitas. Securitas could look to another source for the software we provide. If Securitas were to reduce its orders of our software or if Securitas were to choose another software provider, it could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations substantially.
An increasing number of contracts we enter into are multiple years in length and include recurring fees related to licensing and services. If our customers exercise early termination provisions or experience a decline or lack of volume, our revenue could be harmed.
An increasing number of our contracts with new customers are multi-year agreements and include recurring license and service fees. Some of our contracts for new customers could include a recurring licensing and services component that may vary based on usage and volume throughout the duration of the contract. Also, some of our contracts include early termination clauses that enable customers to terminate those contracts without cause. If our customers exercise early termination or experience a decline or lack of volume, our revenue could be harmed.
Fixed-price services engagements can impact our profitability if we fail to complete them within the estimated budget.
We perform some of our professional services engagements on a fixed price basis. If the project requires more labor or products than was estimated by us in determining the fixed price agreed to with the customer, our margins and profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, failure to complete services as required or to obtain written acceptance of completed milestones may result in deferral of revenue until such completion or acceptance occurs and may cause revenues to be recognized in periods other than as initially expected or forecasted.
We may need additional financing to continue and grow operations, which financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
We may need to raise additional funds to fund our operations or grow our business. Additional financing may not be available on terms or at times favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue and grow our operations. In addition, such additional financing transactions, if successful, may result in additional dilution of our stockholders. They may also result in the issuance of securities with rights, preferences, and other characteristics superior to those of the common stock and, in the case of debt or preferred stock financings, may subject us to covenants that restrict our ability to freely operate our business.
We may not successfully manage our growth, if any.
Our success will depend upon the expansion of our operations and the effective management of our growth, if any, which would place a significant strain on our management and administrative, operational, and financial resources. To manage this growth, should there be any, we must expand our facilities, augment our operational, financial and management systems, and hire and train additional qualified personnel. If we are unable to manage our expected growth effectively, our business would be harmed. There is no assurance that we will be able to expand our operations or effectively manage any growth.
We may incur additional costs and experience impaired operating results if we are unable to retain an experienced management team.
We rely on the experience, expertise, industry knowledge and historical company knowledge of our executive officers. It would be extremely difficult to replace them if we were to lose the services of any of them. The loss of these officers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We will have employment agreements with each of our executive officers, but we do not have key person insurance on their lives.
We may be unable to attract and retain, or have access to, qualified personnel in our markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations by impairing our ability to grow and provide competitive services.
Our ability to provide our customers with competitive services and grow partially depends on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our customers in a cost-effective way. If we are unable to hire or otherwise obtain cost-effective access to skilled personnel in our markets, our operations may suffer. Furthermore, we expect to continue hiring sales, support, marketing and administrative personnel as needed. We may not be able to attract, assimilate or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. In particular, our financial success and our ability to increase revenues in the future depend considerably upon the productivity of our direct sales force that has historically generated a majority of our license revenues. This productivity will depend to a large degree on our success in recruiting, training and retaining qualified direct salespeople. Our business will be harmed if we fail to hire or retain qualified personnel, or if newly hired employees, particularly salespeople, fail to develop the necessary sales skills or develop these skills slower than anticipated.
Changes in technology in our industry could cause our business to lose money or could require us to invest additional capital in new technology.
The markets for our software change rapidly because of technological innovation, new product and service introductions, and changes in customer requirements, among other things. New products and services and new technology often render existing information services or technology infrastructure obsolete, costly, or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our success will depend on our ability to timely innovate and integrate new technologies into our service offerings. We cannot assure you that product developments and technology innovations by others will not adversely affect our competitive position or that we will be able to successfully anticipate or adapt to changing technology, industry standards or customer requirements on a timely basis.
If we fail to modify or improve our software products in response to evolving industry standards, our software products could rapidly become obsolete, which would harm our business.
Future versions of hardware and software platforms embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render our products obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new products and product enhancements to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers.
Our products are designed to work on a variety of hardware and software platforms used by our customers. However, our products may not operate correctly on evolving versions of hardware and software platforms, programming languages, database environments, accounting, and other systems that our customers use. We must constantly modify and improve our products to keep pace with changes made to these platforms and to back-office applications and other Internet-related applications. This may result in uncertainty relating to the timing and nature of new product announcements, introductions, or modifications, which may harm our business.
We cannot be certain that our research and development activities will be successful.
While management is committed to enhancing our current product offerings and introducing new products, we cannot be certain that our research and development activities will be successful. Furthermore, we may not have sufficient financial resources to identify and develop new technologies and bring new products to market in a timely and cost effective manner, and we cannot ensure that any such products will be commercially successful if and when they are introduced.
We depend on our intellectual property, and litigation regarding our intellectual property could harm our business.
Unauthorized use or misappropriation of our intellectual property could seriously harm our business. Our intellectual property includes our proprietary technology, our trade secrets, patents, copyrights in our software products, and our trademarks. Our copyrights and patents are important to the protection of our software, and our trademarks are important to the protection of our company and product names. These copyrights, patents and trademarks discourage unauthorized use of our software and our company and product names and provide us with a way to enforce our rights in the event that this unauthorized use occurs. Third parties may infringe upon our intellectual property rights, and we may be unable to detect this unauthorized use or effectively enforce our rights. In addition, any legal action that we may bring to protect our intellectual property rights could be expensive and distract management from day-to-day operations.
Failure to protect our trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property and know-how could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
We may not have confidentiality agreements with all of our employees, consultants and third-parties, and cannot guarantee that the confidentiality agreements that are in place with our employees, consultants and third parties will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for a breach, or that our trade secrets will not become known to or be independently developed by our competitors. Although we are not currently aware of any parties currently intending to pursue any infringement claims against us, the loss of trade secret protection for technologies or know-how could adversely affect our business.
The costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters could adversely affect our financial position and result of operations.
We may be involved from time to time in a variety of litigation, investigations, or similar matters arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. If the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation or investigation significantly exceed insurance coverage, they could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. In addition, we may be unable to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future.
Claims by others that we infringe their proprietary technology could divert our resources, result in unexpected license fees, and harm our business.
Third parties could claim that our current or future products or technology infringe their proprietary rights. An infringement claim against us could be costly even if the claim is invalid and could distract our management from the operation of our business. Furthermore, a judgment against us could require us to pay substantial damages and could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from selling or licensing our product offering. If we faced a claim relating to proprietary technology or information, we might seek to license technology or information, or develop our own, but we might not be able to do so. Our failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights or to develop non-infringing technology could prevent us from selling or licensing our products and could seriously harm our business.
If our software contains errors or our software product development is delayed, our business will suffer.
We face possible claims and higher costs as a result of the complexity of our software products and the potential for undetected errors. Due to the importance of our products to our customers’ operations, undetected errors are of particular concern. Computer software such as ours always contains undetected errors. The implementation of our products, which we accomplish through our services division, typically involves working with sophisticated software, computing, and communications systems. If we experience difficulties with an implementation or do not meet project milestones in a timely manner, we could be obligated to devote more customer support, engineering and other resources to a particular project and to provide these services at reduced or no cost. If our software contains significant undetected errors or we fail to meet our customers’ expectations or project milestones in a timely manner, we could experience loss of or delay in revenues, loss of customers, injury to our reputation, legal actions by customers against us, and increased service and warranty costs.
Our license agreements with our customers generally contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, such as disclaimers of warranties and limitations on liability for special, consequential and incidental damages. In addition, our license agreements generally cap the amounts recoverable for damages to the amount paid by the licensee to us for the product or service, giving rise to the damages. However, all domestic and international jurisdictions may not enforce these limitations. We may encounter product liability claims in the future. Product liability claims, whether or not successful, brought against us could divert the attention of management and key personnel, could be expensive to defend, and may result in adverse settlements and judgments.
If we acquire additional companies in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, or adversely affect our operating results.
We may decide to make other investments in complementary companies. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any other acquisition or investment. The success of our acquisition program will depend on our ability to overcome substantial obstacles, such as the availability of acquisition candidates, our ability to compete successfully with other acquirers seeking similar acquisition candidates, the availability of funds to finance acquisitions, and the availability of management resources to oversee the operation of acquired businesses. Furthermore, we may have to incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any additional future acquisitions or investments, the issuance of which could be dilutive to us or our existing stockholders. In addition, any profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or future impairment costs for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. We have limited resources, and we can offer no assurance that we will succeed in consummating any additional acquisitions or that we will be able to integrate and manage any acquisitions successfully.
We have no present commitments, understandings, or plans to acquire other companies.
Risks Associated with Investing in our Common Stock
The equity exchange transaction may be dilutive to our existing stockholders and will subject our stockholders to the prior rights and preferences of preferred stockholders.
We have issued 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to certain persons, which issuances amount to approximately six percent of all outstanding stock on an as-converted basis. Furthermore, an additional eight million preferred shares are authorized for issuance at the discretion of our Board, which, if issued, could represent approximately 20 percent of our outstanding stock.
Series A Convertible Preferred stockholders may elect a disproportionately high number of directors.
The holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two members of our Board. We have five authorized members for our Board, two of whom are electable by the Series A Convertible Preferred stockholders voting as a class, two of whom are electable by the common stockholders voting as a class, and one of whom will initially be agreed upon by the other four directors. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have two directors, one of whom was elected by our Series A Convertible Preferred stockholders and the other of whom was elected by the common stockholders.
If a trading market for our common shares does develop, trading prices may be volatile.
In the event that a trading market develops for our common shares, the market price of such shares may be based on factors that may not be indicative of future market performance. Consequently, the market price of our shares may vary greatly. If a market for our shares develops, there is a significant risk that our share price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
| · | variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| · | announcements that our revenue or income/loss levels are below analysts’ expectations; |
| · | general economic slowdowns; |
| · | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| · | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts; or |
| · | acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments. |
Because ForgeHouse became “public” by means of a reverse acquisition, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist since ForgeHouse became “public” through a reverse acquisition. Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common shares. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our company in the future.
We are not required to meet or maintain any listing standards for our common stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink OTC Markets, which could affect our stockholders’ ability to access trading information about our common stock.
The OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink OTC Markets are each separate and distinct from the Nasdaq Stock Market and any national stock exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE AlterNext US. Although the OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service operated by the NASD, that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity securities like our common stock, and although Pink OTC Markets’ Electronic Quotation Service is an Internet-based, real-time quotation service for OTC equities for market makers and brokers that provides pricing and financial information for the OTC securities markets, we are not required to meet or maintain any qualitative or quantitative standards for our common stock to be quoted on either the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink OTC Markets. Our common stock does not presently meet the minimum listing standards for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any national securities exchange, which could affect our stockholders’ ability to access trading information about our common stock. We are required, however, to satisfy the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. If we fail to do so, our shares may no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the historic lack of any material business and the current status of our prospective acquisitions. Accordingly, we have neither generated any material revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is no likelihood little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits unless after we have closed one or more of our prospective acquisitions. Since we have not generated any material revenues, we expect that we will need to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to effectuate our business plan and continue our business operations.
Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the SEC’s “Penny Stock” regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our common stock has been thinly traded and, as a result, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to liquidate your shares.
The shares of our common stock have been, and may continue to be, thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing shares at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume and, that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares of common stock until such time as we close one or more of our prospective acquisitions and became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares of common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our shares of common stock will develop or be sustained or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we cannot provide any assurances that our stockholders will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
The price of our common stock could be highly volatile.
It is likely that our common stock will be subject to price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices quoted by market makers. Due to the low volume of shares that may be traded on any trading day, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our common stock. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our stock to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our common stock may also not be able to liquidate their investment readily or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. If high spreads between the bid and ask prices of our common stock exist at the time of a purchase, the price of the common stock would need to appreciate substantially on a relative percentage basis for an investor to recoup an investment in our shares. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. No assurance can be given that an orderly and active market in our common stock will develop or be sustained. If an orderly and active market does not develop, holders of our common stock may be unable to sell their shares, if at all.
Investors’ interests in us will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.
In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in us will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Item 2. Properties.
We lease our office space and believe that it is adequate for our current operations and expected future needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Our common stock, par value $.001, has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “FOHE” since November 7, 2005, and, prior to that, under the symbol “MBTL” since January 5, 2006; however, our common stock did not commence virtually any trading until subsequent to the closing of the Exchange Agreement on January 31, 2008. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock for the periods indicated, as reported by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. Such quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

On May 10, 2009, we had had 19 stockholders of record.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we expect to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business.
The common stock issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the options granted under the Employment Agreements, and the common stock underlying such options are all subject to a two-year restriction (that expires January 31, 2010) on any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other derivation of economic value by the holders thereof. If, during such two-year period, a member of our management who owns such securities is dismissed for “cause” or terminates employment without “good reason” (as those terms are defined in the Exchange Agreement), then such securities owned by such individual will be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of all other members of our management and, in respect of such securities remaining unpurchased, thereafter in favor of the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (which shares were issued in a private placement financing that closed concurrently with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement). Notwithstanding the term of such lock-up, if the holder is an employee and is terminated without cause or terminates his or her employment for good reason, such holder may, during each calendar quarter of the lock-up, sell, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise derive economic value from an amount of such shares equivalent to not more $25,000, as particularly stated in the holder’s Lock-Up Agreement.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF OUR MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2008, and for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 2 to the financial statements.
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included herein. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
ForgeHouse is in the business-to-business arena and is focused on providing scalable, Enterprise-class web-based solutions that increase productivity and accountability by workflow optimization. Our markets range from Fortune 1000 companies to Government to Small and Medium Enterprises and Businesses (SMEs and SMBs). During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, we continued to market our software solution to targeted prospects.
We will need to obtain additional operating capital to fund continuing software development and to increase our sales team to penetrate and gain traction in the markets identified as critical to our business success. Although we are considering various debt or equity financings, there can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us on terms acceptable to us or at the time that we that we would require such financing, or at all. Failure to obtain any such financing will result in our inability to effectuate our business plan. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not entered into any agreements and have not received any commitments to obtain any such financing.
For the Year Ended December 31, 2008 in Comparison to the Year Ended December 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, contain information of both ForgeHouse, combined with GS Security Group, a variable interest entity; financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, contain information of ForgeHouse (through January 31, 2008, the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement) and of ForgeHouse (combined with GS Security Group through February 2008, when a bank loan owed by ForgeHouse was repaid).
Net Revenue
The increase in revenues for the current periods in comparison to the prior periods was the result of higher sales of the ASP service, hardware sales and lower commissions on sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the prior year.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of Server Hosting Cost and Cost of Hardware purchased for resale. Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, decreased from $97,000 in comparison with $101,000 in the prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 32% for the year ended December 31, 2008, and 46% for the prior period. The lower cost of revenue was due to one- time inventory adjustment.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating expenses increased to $2,475,000 from $1,076,000. The expense breakdown is as follows:
| | Twelve Months Ending December 31 | |
Operating Expenses | | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | Var B(W) | | | Var B(W) | |
| | $ 000 | | | $000 | | | $000 | | | % | |
Payroll related expenses | | | 850 | | | | 415 | | | | (435 | ) | | | (105 | %) |
Professional fees | | | 396 | | | | 462 | | | | 66 | | | | 14 | % |
Depreciation and Amortization | | | 44 | | | | 37 | | | | (7 | ) | | | (19 | %) |
Stock-based charges | | | 1,148 | | | | 0 | | | | (1,148 | ) | | | N/A | |
General and Administrative | | | 306 | | | | 162 | | | | (144 | ) | | | (89 | %) |
Total | | | 2,745 | | | | 1,076 | | | | (1,669 | ) | | | (155 | %) |
| · | Payroll related expenses were attributable to salaries, benefits, related taxes and group health insurance for our officers and employees. For the year ended December 31, 2008, payroll expenses increased to $850,000 from $415,000. Substantially all of such increases were due to our hiring a Chief Technology Officer, Chief Strategic Officer and Vice President of Sales in late 2007 and a Chief Financial Officer in 2008. |
| · | Professional fees represent both accounting and legal fees. |
| · | Depreciation and Amortization expenses represent depreciation of fixed assets over three years and amortization of software development over five years. |
| · | Stock-Based Charges represent the amortization of stock options issued to management and certain of our other employees. We did not issue any stock options in our 2007 year. |
| | General and Administrative expenses are primarily comprised of Occupancy & Equipment, Travel & Entertainment, Printing & Stationary, Postage & Delivery, Office Supplies, and Fees. Higher general and administrative expenses in year ending December 31, 2008 compared to prior year are attributable to an increase in Travel & Entertainment Expenses. |
Other Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2008, interest expense amounted to $168,000 and was attributable to two notes payable. These notes were renegotiated in January 2008 as described in Liquidity and Capital Resources, below.
Net Loss
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we reported a loss from operations of $2,489,000 (or a loss per share of $0.09), compared to a loss of $1,645,000 for the prior year. The overall net loss increased in comparison with last year due to the increases in Operating Expenses described above, notwithstanding a one-time gain on restructuring of debt of $365,000 that was offset by stock-based charges of $1,148,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2008, we had a cash balance of $1,705 and a working capital deficit of $2,660,000. Our balance sheet at December 31, 2008 reflects long-term notes payable of $832,000.
Net cash flows used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, amounted to $1,651,000 and were primarily attributable to our net loss of $1,662,000 (Net of Depreciation, Stock and Asset Amortization, and Gain debt restructuring). Net cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, amounted to $200,000 and were primarily used for the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement that closed on January 31, 2008. Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, amounted to $1,853,000 and were primarily attributable to the $1,850,000 net proceeds of a Preferred Stock financing that closed in connection with the Exchange Agreement, and $290,000 in proceeds from the equity private placement, as offset by repayment of a short-term loan in the amount of $300,000, repayment of the Operating Company’s bank loan in the amount of $220,000, and a partial prepayment of the long-term loan in the amount of $58,000.
At December 31, 2008, we had cash of $1,705, which cash balance represented an increase of $1,705 in comparison with our cash balance at December 31, 2007. We have no currently planned material commitments for capital expenditures; however, we presently have no other alternative source of operating capital, without which we may be unable to continue software development, to increase our sales team to penetrate and gain traction in the markets identified as critical to our business success, or to have the capital necessary to fund our ongoing operations and obligations. Although we are considering various debt or equity financings, there can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us on terms acceptable to us or at the time that we that we would require such financing, or at all. Failure to obtain any such financing will result in our inability to effectuate our business plan. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not entered into any agreements and have not received any commitments to obtain any such financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2008.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our financial statements required to be included in Item 8 are set forth in the Index to Financial Statements set forth on page F-1 of this Annual Report.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There have been no disagreements in the applicable period.
As of February 6, 2008, we dismissed Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP (“Dale”) as our principal accountant effective on such date, and we appointed Kelly & Co. (“Kelly”) as our new principal accountant. Dale’s report on our financial statements for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with the exception of a qualification with respect to uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by our Board.
During fiscal years 2005 and 2006, and the subsequent interim period through the dismissal, there were no disagreements with Dale on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Dale, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report, nor were there any reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-K.
We engaged Kelly as our new independent accountant as of February 6, 2008. During fiscal years 2005 and 2006, and the subsequent interim period through February 6, 2008, we nor anyone on our behalf engaged Kelly regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event,” both as such terms are defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A(T). 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 under the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted a review to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There has been no change in internal controls during the most recent fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Item 9B. Other Information.
There is no other information required to be disclosed during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report.
PART III
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
The following table sets forth information concerning current executive officers and directors as of May 10, 2009:
Name | | Age | | Position |
John A. Britchford-Steel | | 65 | | Chief Executive Officer and Director |
Jose M. Alonso | | 42 | | Chief Operating Officer and Director |
Keith Ebert | | 42 | | Director |
John A. Britchford-Steel was President and Chief Executive Officer of ForgeHouse since 2002. He became chief executive officer and director of the Company at January 31, 2008. He was an owner of The GS Group, LLC, from 1992 to 2007, and he was a manager of GS Security Group, LLC, from 2002 to 2004. GS Security Group, LLC was an affiliate of ForgeHouse.
Jose M. Alonso was Chief Operating Officer of ForgeHouse since 2002. He became chief operating officer of the Company at January 31, 2008, and a director at February 1, 2009. He also served as manager of The GS Group, LLC, from 1992 to 2007 and as a manager of GS Security Group, LLC, from 2002 to 2004. GS Security Group, LLC was an affiliate of ForgeHouse.
Jorge Vargas was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer, effective February 15, 2008. Before joining the Company and since 1999, Mr. Vargas worked for American Express Company. From 2006 to 2008, he was the Director of Finance for their Global Network Services division, where he was in charge of investment optimization, long-range planning, forecasting, budgeting, and financial and management reporting processes. From 2003 to 2006, Mr. Vargas was a Finance Manager in the same division. In that position, in addition to his leadership roles, he worked with business development leaders to conduct pricing analysis for new bank partnerships. Prior to that, from 1999 to 2003, Mr. Vargas was a Finance Manager in the International Credit Card Services division.
Keith Ebert became our director at January 31, 2008. Since 2002, he has been, and continues to be, a partner at a private Canadian investment firm.
Our directors are elected by the stockholders to a term of one year and serve until their successor is elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the Board to a term of one year and serve until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office. There are no family relationships between or among our directors and executive officers, except Mr. Alonso is the son-in-law of Mr. Britchford-Steel.
Our Board has not had an audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating committee because, due to the Board’s composition and our relatively limited operations, the Board was able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by such committees.
Board Meetings
Our Board held five meetings during the 2008 fiscal year.
We do not have a nominating committee charter. The duties and responsibilities of our Board, which acts as the nominating committee, include (i) overseeing corporate governance matters and (ii) nominating new members to serve on the Board.
Our Board will consider board candidates recommended for consideration by our stockholders, provided the stockholders provide information regarding candidates as reasonably requested by us within the timeframe proscribed in Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and other applicable rules and regulations. Recommendation materials are required to be sent to the Board at our address listed in this Current Report. There are no specific minimum qualifications required to be met by a director nominee recommended for a position on the Board, nor are there any specific qualities or skills that are necessary for one or more of our Board to possess, other than as are necessary to meet any requirements under the rules and regulations applicable to us. Our Board considers a potential candidate’s experience, areas of expertise, and other factors relative to the overall composition of the Board.
The Board considers and evaluates director candidates that are suggested by members of the Board, as well as management and stockholders. Although it has not previously done so, the Board may also retain a third-party executive search firm to identify candidates. The process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including nominees recommended by stockholders, involves reviewing potentially eligible candidates, conducting background and reference checks, interviews with the candidate and others as schedules permit, meeting to consider and approve the candidate, and, as appropriate, preparing and presenting an analysis with regard to particular recommended candidates. The Board endeavors to identify director nominees who have the highest personal and professional integrity, have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment, and, together with other director nominees and members, are expected to serve the long-term interest of our stockholders and contribute to our overall corporate goals.
Committees
We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees of the board of directors, or committees performing similar functions, and, therefore, the entire board of directors performs such functions. Our common stock is not currently listed on any national exchange and are we not required to maintain such committees by any self-regulatory agency. Management does not believe it is necessary for the board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that currently and historically has come before the board of directors for consideration permits each director to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making.
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert. Management does not believe it is necessary to for the board of directors to designate an audit committee financial expert at this time due to our limited operating history and the limited volume of matters that come before the board of directors requiring such an expert.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our Board of Directors performs the functions of a compensation committee.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of any class of our securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on its review of copies of such reports, management believes that there was compliance with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) applicable to our officers, directors, and 10% shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2008.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The Company does not currently compensate its directors in cash for their service as members of the board of directors. However, the Company does reimburse its directors for reasonable expenses in connection with attendance at board meetings.
The following table sets forth certain annual and long-term compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its executive officers.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the shares of common stock beneficially owned or deemed to be beneficially owned as of May 10, 2009, by: (i) each person whom we know beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) our current directors, (iii) our current executive officers, and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of ForgeHouse, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ForgeHouse, Inc as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2008. ForgeHouse, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ForgeHouse, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,799,396 during the year ended December 31, 2008, and as of that date, had a working capital deficiency of $2,707,845 and an accumulated deficit of $2,636,178. As described more fully in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company is in default on two loan agreement with private lenders that has caused the loans to become due on demand. The Company is not aware of any alternative sources of capital to meet such demands, if made. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Description of the Company's Business
Nature of Operations
ForgeHouse, Inc. (the Company) (formerly Milk Bottle Cards, Inc.) is currently engaged in the sale of and development of ongoing enhancement to OneVision®, its proprietary software system. The Company’s OneVision® system is a web based application that offers a virtual command and control system for certain compliance, physical security and maintenance applications.
Basis of Presentation
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in November 2004 for the purpose of producing, distributing and marketing a collection of greeting cards. ForgeHouse, LLC (ForgeHouse) (a Georgia LLC) was formed in the state of Georgia in June 2002 for the purpose of developing and selling physical security industry applications and software. ForgeHouse operated through April 2007 as a company in the development stage. The Company is currently engaged in the development and sale of OneVision®, its proprietary software product.
In July 2007, the members (the “Members”) of ForgeHouse, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Operating Company”), entered into a Nonbinding Letter of Intent with Milk Bottle Cards, Inc. (“Milk Bottle”) (a non-operating public shell corporation), whereby the Members were to exchange their membership interests for Milk Bottle common stock and cash. On January 31, 2008, Milk Bottle and the Members entered certain agreements (the “Exchange Agreement”) that resulted in, among other items, the exchange of all of their membership interests in the Operating Company for 10,500,000 shares of common stock of Milk Bottle (approximately 37.5% of all outstanding common stock of the Company as of the closing of the exchange transaction). As a result of the exchange, the Operating Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Milk Bottle, which changed its name to ForgeHouse, Inc. (sometimes referred to as the “Resulting Company”). For accounting purposes, the transaction is considered a “reverse merger” under which ForgeHouse is considered the acquirer of the Company. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated among the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Company while the historical results are those of ForgeHouse, but they were retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received by the Company in the exchange transaction. Earnings per share for the periods prior to the exchange transaction have been restated to reflect the number of equivalent shares received by the ForgeHouse members. The ForgeHouse members as a result of the merger transaction own approximately 35% of the Company.
Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, ForgeHouse. All significant transactions among the combined entities have been eliminated upon combination.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Transition from Development Stage Operations and the Start of Ongoing Operations
In April 2007, ForgeHouse entered into a licensing agreement with a national physical security industry provider (the “Licensee”). In this licensing agreement, ForgeHouse granted an exclusive license to the Licensee for the use, marketing and distribution rights to OneVision® software for use by the Licensee in its own physical security service operations and the right to sub-lease OneVision® to all non-governmental physical security service entities in the United States. The execution of this agreement marked ForgeHouse’s transition from the development stage to ongoing operations. Accordingly, the Company’s operations in 2007 do not reflect inception-to-date information nor was it treated as an entity in the development stage.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:
| · | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
| · | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; |
| · | The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and |
| · | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company recognizes revenue from monthly access fees charged to customers for access to the Company's OneVision® software as well as certain related licensee hardware sales, technical support fees, applications programming and training services.
Service Contract Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue on service contracts ratably over applicable contract periods or as services are performed. Amounts billed and collected before the services are performed are included in deferred revenues.
The agreement with the Licensee provides for payments to the Company at a base service fee of $10,000 per month along with an annual per user service fee payable at the beginning of each service year that Licensee utilizes the OneVision® service. The annual user service fees are a minimum of $1,140 per year, with additional optional services and hardware available. The Company's per user service fee rates are subject to an upward rate adjustment if the Licensee does not meet certain agreed upon user participation levels. Further, in order for the Licensee to maintain the exclusivity rights in the United States, the Licensee must meet minimum user participation levels and have paid all fees due under the agreement.
Product Revenue
Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of the Company’s final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance.
Escrowed Funds
At December 31, 2008, the Company had used all funds that were available and restricted to certain Board approved Company operating expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent obligations in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Our most significant assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2008, the Company had $0 on deposit that exceeded United States (FDIC) federally insurance limit of $250,000 per bank.
Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for development costs related to software products to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed in accordance with FASB SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The Company's software was available July 1, 2003, for general release approximately seven months after the establishment of technological feasibility and, accordingly, the Company capitalized certain software development costs incurred during that period. SFAS No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs, establishes accounting and reporting standards for research and development. During the years periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not capitalize any software development costs. The Company capitalized $173,333 in software development costs as of December 31, 2008. The Company expensed $132,126 and $284,442 as research and development expense during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
In accordance with SFAS No. 2, the costs the Company incurs to enhance its existing products are expensed in the period they are incurred and included in software development costs in the statements of operations.
Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release. Amortization is provided on a product-by-product basis on the straight-line method over the software product's economic useful life. Unamortized capitalized software development costs determined to be in excess of net realizable values of the product are expensed immediately. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization of software development costs totaled $34,667 and $34,667, respectively.
Management has concluded that the software development costs have no residual value and a five-year period of amortization, with the amortization period starting with the first general sale of the product after the beta site. This occurred in April 2005.
The Company includes in software development expense those costs related to the following software development activities:
| · | Conceptual formulation and design of possible product or process alternatives; |
| · | Testing in search for, or evaluation of, product or process alternatives; |
| · | Modification of the formulation or design of a product or process; and |
| · | Engineering activity required to advance the design of a product to the point that it meets specific functional and economic requirements and is ready for production. |
Future amortization of the software development costs is as follows for the years ended December 31:
2009 | | $ | 34,667 | |
2010 | | | 8,666 | |
| | $ | 43,333 | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (FAS 157). In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.157, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, we adopted the provisions of FAS 157 with respect to our financial assets and liabilities only. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
We utilize the market approach to measure fair value for our financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as the consideration of counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our combined results of operations and financial condition. The carrying values of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, carried at fair value as of December 31, 2008, are classified in the table below in one of the three categories described above:
Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2008
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Cash & Equivalents | | $ | 1,705 | | | | - | | | | - | | | $ | 1,705 | |
Escrowed Funds | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, the Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented and adjusts the amount of net loss used in this calculation for preferred stock dividends declared during the period, if any. We incurred a net loss in each period presented, and as such, did not include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the diluted net loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods. Dilutive common stock equivalents would include the common stock issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options that have conversion or exercise prices below the market value of our common stock at the measurement date.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had issued and outstanding common stock equivalents comprised of common stock options and warrants that can be converted into 3,877,000 shares of common stock.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cash of 1,705.
Accounts Receivable - Trade and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on its historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Based on the Company's status as a development stage company until 2007 and past level of sales, the Company has not experienced any accounts receivable that could not be collected, and as such, the allowance for doubtful accounts is zero at December 31, 2008. As the Company expands, it fully expects the allowance for doubtful accounts to increase from zero.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. The Company buys and resells hardware as necessary, but does not carry inventory on-hand for extended periods of time, and had no PDA's for resale on-hand at December 31, 2008.
Prepaid Expenses
The Company's prepaid expenses consist mainly of amounts paid for annual insurance contracts. The amounts are expensed ratably over the term of the contract.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not dispose of any equipment. The estimated useful lives of computer and office equipment are as follows:
| | Estimated |
| | Useful |
| | Lives |
Computer equipment | | 3 years |
Office equipment | | 5 years |
Office furniture | | 7 years |
Leases
The Company reviews all leases for capital or operating classification at their inception under the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as amended. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in the assessment of lease classification and defines the initial lease term to exclude lease extension periods.
The Company has entered into an operating lease agreement for its corporate office which contains provisions for future rent increases or periods in which rent payments are reduced (abated). In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to “Deferred rent.” Deferred rent was not material at December 31, 2008.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results and trends and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence and economic factors.
Deferred Revenue - Amounts Billed in Advance
The Company recognizes revenue as earned. Amounts billed in advance of the period in which service is rendered will be recorded as a liability under “Deferred revenue.” The Company had $49,621 of deferred revenue at December 31, 2008.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense includes the cost of maintaining the infrastructure of the Company that is not directly related to delivery services. Also included in this category would be the provision for doubtful accounts receivable.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Reclassification of Accounts
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company believes that adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (FAS 141(R)) and No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The Company will adopt both FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 as of January 1, 2009 and neither pronouncement is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
3. Variable Interest Entity
ForgeHouse determined its debt servicing of the GS Security's SBA loan required GS Security to be recognized as a variable interest entity as defined in FIN 46R. ForgeHouse concluded that it was the primary beneficiary and, as a result, combined its financial operating results with those of GS Security from January 1, 2005 through January 31, 2008. The combination of GS Security with ForgeHouse did not materially affect its operating results or its financial condition. As of December 31, 2008, GS Security is no longer combined with the Company. as a result of the satisfaction of the SBA Loan in February 2008 (Note 7 - Debt). For consistency, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 do not include the operations of the variable interest entity.

Short Term Notes Payable
North Atlanta National Bank - - Small Business Administration Guaranteed Loan
On August 19, 2002, the ForgeHouse variable interest entity entered into a loan agreement with North Atlanta National Bank (the “Lender”) which was guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA Loan”). The SBA Loan had a face value of $456,000 with a variable interest rate based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 2.75% per annum. The SBA Loan required monthly payments of $6,331 and originated in August 2002 with all unpaid principal and interest due at maturity in August 2010. The amount of the monthly SBA Loan payment was subject to annual payment adjustment each August to provide for the ratable amortization over the remaining term of the loan. The interest rate at December 31, 2007 was 11.0% and at February 5, 2008 (the date the note was satisfied - see Note 1.) was 10.0%. The weighted average interest rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2007 and period from January 1, 2008 to February 5, 2008 was 11.0% and 10.0%, respectively. The SBA Loan was secured by substantially all of the assets (both tangible and intangible) of ForgeHouse and GS Security (Note 3 - - Variable Interest Entity). The loan had an outstanding balance of $149,657 at December 31, 2007 and was fully satisfied in February 2008.
Short Term Bridge Financing
In the October 2008, the Company obtained short term financing from an investor group in the form of two $25,000 demand notes. The loans were necessary to sustain the ongoing operations of the Company. The loans are unsecured and interest is payable upon demand of payment of the principal. The loans are still outstanding at December 31, 2008 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, ForgeHouse completed a short term bridge financing (the bridge loan) with an investor group for $300,000, which came in four tranches during the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The bridge loan was necessary to sustain the ongoing operations of ForgeHouse until the Exchange Agreement and the related equity financing was complete (Note 1.- Description of Company's Business). The loan was guaranteed personally by the CEO and COO of ForgeHouse (Note 9 - Related Party Transactions). The loan was satisfied in February 2008, and while outstanding, bore an interest rate of 6% per annum.
Debt in Default
After All Group
In August 2006, ForgeHouse borrowed $200,000 from a group (“After All”) that consisted of some of the same owners (who were members of ForgeHouse) of Arngrove Group Holdings, Ltd. The loan was unsecured and interest accrues at a rate of 20% per annum, which is calculated monthly and rolled into the principal balance of the loan. The loan term was six months from the issuance date and has been extended on a month-to-month basis at the discretion of After All. This note payable was restructured on January 31, 2008 and all accrued interest was forgiven, which is included in the gain on the restructuring of debt in the statement of operations. The restructured note is at an interest rate of 6% per annum, with scheduled principal payments of $40,000 to be made starting December 31, 2008, and every six months thereafter, up to and including December 31, 2010. The long term balance, current principal balance, and accrued interest balance at December 31, 2008, was $120,000, $80,000 and $11,014, respectively. Interest accrues at 8% beyond maturity. This note must be prepaid in whole or in part upon the closing of any equity or debt financing of the Company in the amount of 20% of the net funding received.
Arngrove Group Holdings Ltd.
In May 2005, ForgeHouse entered into a combination debt, sale of Members' equity and services agreement transaction (the “Agreement”) with Arngrove Group Holdings Ltd (a United Kingdom entity) (“Arngrove”). The Agreement provided ForgeHouse with a line-of-credit facility (the “Loan Agreement”) that called for Arngrove to advance ForgeHouse as requested up to $100,000 per month, with a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,200,000 over the twelve month period ending May 2006. The Loan Agreement was evidenced by a note payable with a not-to-exceed face amount of $1,200,000 with a fixed interest rate of 10.0% per annum. The Loan Agreement for financial reporting purposes was discounted at inception to reflect an effective interest rate yield of 29.7% (as of the date the Loan Agreement promissory note was created); its initial discount recognized was $114,622. The discount was being accreted ratably over the initial life of the Loan Agreement promissory note. The required annual interest only payments were to commence as of June 1, 2006, but were not made. As such, in 2006, the Loan Agreement's restrictive covenants went into default and all of the unaccreted discount was expensed.
The Agreement also included a services contract that provided for Arngrove to provide certain consulting services and to receive a fee (the “Fee”) of approximately $120,000 each year, payable monthly within 7 days of each month-end. The Fee was a required portion of the Agreement. It is being treated by ForgeHouse as additional interest. ForgeHouse determined that the nature of the consultancy services called for in the Agreement were investor's due diligence procedures or were not provided to ForgeHouse at all. ForgeHouse did not make any Fee payments to Arngrove as provided for in the service contract until the agreement was restructured at January 31, 2008, at which time payments totaling $368,571 were made to satisfy all accrued interest and management fees on the Arngrove and After All notes. This resulted in a first quarter gain on the restructuring of debt of $365,834.
The Agreement included the sale of Members equity to four individuals related to Arngrove for $300,000 and a 30% interest in ForgeHouse (Note 10). This was a necessary provision to obtain the loan, which was why ForgeHouse accepted the investment at a discounted price. ForgeHouse, based on prior equity investments, estimated the fair value of the 30% equity interest at $600,000. ForgeHouse trifurcated the values of the loan, equity interest, and service contract based on the net cash received from the agreement, resulting in the recording of the equity investment at a value of $414,622 and a discount on the underlying loan of $114,622, to be amortized over the life of the loan. However, as mentioned above, the loan discount was accelerated when the note became in default in 2006. This 30% interest was purchased by the Company at January 31, 2008 for $171,430.
ForgeHouse restructured the debt in January 2008 as part of the exchange transaction (Note 10 - Equity), and, as such, the debt is classified as a long term Note Payable on the face of the balance sheet. This note payable was restructured on January 31, 2008 at an interest rate of 6% per annum, with scheduled principal payments of $240,000 to be made starting December 31, 2008 and every six months thereafter, up to and including December 31, 2010. Interest accrues at 8% beyond maturity. The amount of stated interest related to the Loan Agreement was included in accrued interest and was $8,020 at December 31, 2008. This note must be prepaid in whole or in part upon the closing of any equity or debt financing of the Company in the amount of 20% of the net funding received.
The Company incurred interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of $47,399, $182,744, $190,530 and $356,804, respectively, all of which was charged to operations.
All debt, totaling $1,450,000 is due during the year ended December 31, 2009.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Results, Liquidity and Management's Plan
The Company’s success will depend in part on its ability to obtain patents (one is now pending in 36 countries) and to expand its OneVision® product license holders and related revenue, to maintain its trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, both in the United States and other countries. There can be no assurance that patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that the rights granted there under will provide proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company.
The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2008 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company, over time, has experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,707,845 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $2,636,178. The Company also has substantial debt that was restructured in January 2008 (Note 7 - Debt). These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During 2008, management intends to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to fund future operations, ongoing software development costs and debt retirement needs. The Company’s marketing plan is to assist its licensees and to promote the expand acceptance and use of its OneVision®product, and to develop additional applications in industries where there is significant anticipated demand requirements. Management believes that its plans will contribute towards achieving profitability but there is no assurance that they can be implemented; or that the results will be of a sufficient level necessary to meet the Company’s ongoing cash needs. No assurances can be given that the Company can obtain sufficient working capital through borrowings from a related party or lending institutions or that the continued implementation of its business plan will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 - Equity Transactions, the Company was able to obtain additional working capital in connection with the reverse acquisition in January 2008.
Legal Actions
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Operating Leases
The Company recognized rental expense of $28,437 and $22,158 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company occupied its Norcross, Georgia facility under a rental agreement that had a lease term that expired in March 2007. The Company began subleasing space from a third party for $1,500 per month in October 2007 on a month-to-month basis until they entered their current lease agreement starting on June 1, 2008. The 39 month lease calls for initial monthly payments of $3,623 and does not have any renewal options.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of the accounts receivable - trade. The Company operates in a market segment that is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes, shifting customer requirements, the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities and other factors could negatively impact the Company's operating results.
The Company had three customers that individually comprised more than 10% of the accounts receivable - trade balance, for a total of 82% of the accounts receivable - trade balance at December 31, 2008.
One customer was individually responsible for more than 10% of the revenue for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, totaling 80% and 76%, respectively, of the Company's sales during the period.
The Company made 100% of its hardware purchases for resale from one vendor in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company feels that other vendors with similar products could be used.
If the Company were to lose any of these customers or vendors, the impact on its financial statements would be unknown, but could be significant. The Company has not experienced any such loss of customers or vendors as of December 31, 2008.
9. Related Party Transactions
Personal Guarantees

Sale of Units
On January 31, 2008, the Company sold 2,000,000 units, each unit consisted of one share of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred stock and one warrant to purchase a share of the Company's common stock. The total proceeds from this transaction was $2,100,000. Each of the Series A Preferred shares is convertible into the Company's common stock on a one-to-one basis. The Series A Preferred Shares are senior as to all other equity instruments, voting, and have a dividend rate of 4% of the stated liquidation preference amount of $2,000,000. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and expire 2 years from the grant date.
Shares Issued for Cash
In June 2008, the Company issued 244,022 shares of the Company’s common stock to eight individuals for cash proceeds of $290,388, which is $1.19 per share. The share price represented a 30% discount to the 10-trading-day volume weighted average closing price of the common stock, with May 29, 2008, as the 10th trading day. As stipulated in the restructured Arngrove note payable agreement, the Company is required to remit 20% of all funds raised to Arngrove to be applied first to the then outstanding principal balance of the note payable and second to any interest accrued thereon.
Shares Issued in Satisfaction of Accounts Payable – Trade
In June 2008, the Company issued 45,812 shares of the Company’s common stock to two individuals for satisfaction of $45,800 of accounts payable – trade at $1.00 per share.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented and adjust the amount of net loss, used in this calculation, for preferred stock dividends declared during the period.
The Company incurred a net loss in each period presented, and as such, did not include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the diluted net loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would include the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible preferred stock and the exercise of warrants and stock options that have conversion or exercise prices below the market value of the Company’s common stock at the measurement date. As of December 31, 2008, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents amounted to 5,877,000 shares.
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
| | For the Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Numerator: | | | | | | |
Net loss | | $ | (2,488,619 | ) | | $ | (1,599,811 | ) |
Denominator: | | | | | | | | |
Denominator for basic and diluted net loss per share-weighted average number of common shares outstanding | | | 27,059,045 | | | | 15,000,000 | |
