NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of APC Group, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in APC Group’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-SB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2007 as reported in the Form 10-SB have been omitted.
2. GOING CONCERN
APC Group suffered losses in 2008 and 2007, has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at May 31, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to APC Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if APC Group is unable to continue as a going concern.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
On February 21, 2008, APC Group and Reel Thing Innovations, Inc. amended their May 5, 2005 agreement to convert the past due amount consisting of $238,000 principal and $53,810 accrued late payment interest for 1,209,524 shares of APC’s common stock. The remaining balance of $195,000 shall be modified such that $5,000 is due on the effective date of the amended agreement and twenty-four (24) installment payments of $7,916 beginning on August 1, 2008 and ending on August 1, 2010.
Balances of long-term debt obligations as of May 31, 2008 and scheduled maturities of that debt are set out below.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The following discussion may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as, “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate”, “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, these types of statements may prove to be incorrect.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended May 31, 2008 Compared to the Six Months Ended May 31, 2007
Revenue decreased $61,177, or 49%, to $63,115 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to revenue of $124,292 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. Much of the attention of our sole executive officer was diverted from generating sales to managing the going public process. The decrease in revenue was due to a decrease in sales. We plan to engage up to fifty (50) independent sales representatives during the remainder of fiscal 2008 to generate sales.
Cost of goods sold decreased $29,936, or 52%, to $25,757 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to cost of goods sold of $53,693 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the decrease in sales.
Gross profit decreased $33,241, or 47%, to $37,358 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to gross profit of $70,599 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in gross profit was due to the decrease in sales.
Our gross margin was 59% for the six months ended May 31, 2008, as compared to 57% for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The gross margin on the Arctic Leash watertight retractable extension cord reel is approximately 30% while the gross margin on some of our Arctic Leash brand, all weather, indoor/outdoor extension cords is as high as 200%. Although watertight retractable extension cord reel has one of our lowest gross margins, its uniqueness allows us to attract customers and introduce them to our line of higher margin Arctic Leash branded extension cords. Sometimes we price the Arctic Leash at cost to build relationships so that we can introduce our other products. Our overall gross margin for any period is directly affected by the mix of products that we sell during the period. We generated revenue of $18,867, or 30% of sales, and $56,597, or 46% of sales, from the sale of Arctic Leash watertight retractable extension cord reels for the six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as compared to revenue of $44,247, or 70% of sales, and $67,696, or 54% of sales, from the sale of Arctic Leash brand, all weather, indoor/outdoor extension cords and the MedReel for those same periods. The increase in gross margin was due to an increase in sales of higher margin Arctic Leash branded extension cords and the MedReel relative to sales of Arctic Leash watertight retractable extension cord reels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $574,669, or 77%, to $172,340 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $747,009 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in common stock issued for professional and other services. During the six months ended May 31, 2007, we issued shares to consultants related to our efforts to become a fully reporting, publicly traded company. We did not have such issuances during the six months ended May 31, 2008. The significant components of selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended May 31, 2007 and 2008, the percentage change over the six months ended May 31, 2007 and the expense level as a percentage of revenues are set forth in the table below:
| | Six Months Ended May 31, | |
| | 2007 | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | | |
Compensation | | $ | | | $ | 51,614 | |
Percentage change over 2007 | | | | | | (90 | )% |
As a percentage of revenues | | | | % | | 82 | % |
Professional fees | | $ | | | $ | 62,149 | |
Percentage change over 2007 | | | | | | (65 | )% |
As a percentage of revenues | | | | % | | 98 | % |
Other expenses | | $ | | | $ | 58,577 | |
Percentage change over 2007 | | | | | | (9 | )% |
As a percentage of revenues | | | 52 | % | | 93 | % |
During the six months ended May 31, 2007, compensation included $387,440 due to 1,937,202 shares of our common stock valued at $0.20 per share that we issued to Kenneth S. Forster, our only executive officer, for compensation, and $40,000 due to 200,000 shares valued at $0.20 per share that we issued to Matthew Meyer for taking over as Chairman of our board of directors. During the six months ended May 31, 2007, professional fees included $114,303 due to 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.15 per share that we issued to Public Company Management Services, Inc. (“PCMS”) for additional management consulting services beyond the hours contemplated under our agreement (See the discussion, below, under the heading “Contractual Obligations”), $30,000 due to 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.15 per share that we issued to an existing shareholder who provided us with a $100,000 certificate of deposit to use as collateral for a $100,000 line of credit that we secure and $9,303 due to an aggregate of 62,020 shares valued at $0.15 that we issued to consultants for accounting and administrative services. There is no market for our common stock; however, we have filed a registration statement, and are taking other steps so that a market can develop. We valued the shares based upon the last third-party sale of our common stock at that time. Our expense level was disproportionate to our revenues because of these stock issuances and valuations. Although we did not issue stock for services during the six months ended May 31, 2008, we have a limited amount of cash and will likely be required to issue additional shares for services in the future. Although our expense level improved during the six months ended May 31, 2008, we expect a disproportionate expense level to persist until we can increase our revenue of which there can be no assurance. In addition, we believe that if there was a market for our common stock, people providing services to our company would consider it less risky and be willing to accept fewer shares at the market price which would decrease our expenses.
Depreciation expenses was $5,814 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to depreciation expense of $5,813 for the six months ended May 31, 2007.
Net operating loss decreased $541,427, or 79%, to $140,796 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to net operating loss of $682,223 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in net operating loss was directly attributable to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
We had loan costs of $25,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2008 due to 125,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.20 per share that we issued to an existing shareholder who provided us with a $100,000 certificate of deposit to use as collateral for the extension of a $100,000 line of credit that we have. We had loan costs of $30,000 for the six months ended May 31, 2007 due to 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.15 per share that we issued to the same shareholder for providing us with the collateral so we could secure the line of credit.
Interest expense decreased $12,412, or 34%, to $23,680 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to interest expense of $36,092 for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in interest expense was due to a decrease in past due payments to Reel-Thing Innovations, Inc. (“Reel-Thing”). In February 2008, Reel-Thing converted $291,811, which consisted of $238,000 of past due installment payments on the purchase price and $53,811 of accrued late payment interest, into 1,209,524 restricted shares of our common stock, discussed below.
We had net loss of $189,476 (or basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.01) for the six months ended May 31, 2008, compared to net loss of $748,315 (or basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.04) for the six months ended May 31, 2007. The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total current assets were $121,045 as of May 31, 2008, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $850, net accounts receivable of $2,200, inventory of $112,636 and prepaid expenses of $5,359.
Total current liabilities were $425,814 as of May 31, 2008, consisting of note payable to related party of $125,619, trade accounts payable of $101,030, line of credit of $99,975, current maturities of long-term debt of $48,434, accounts payable to related party of $31,447, and accrued expenses of $19,309. Notes payable to related party includes loans of $105,119 that we have received from Richard L. Bienvenue and a loan of $10,500 that we received from Matthew Meyer, who are members of our board of directors. The loans accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum. The loans have no fixed terms of repayment and are deemed payable on demend. Accounts payable to related party includes $29,761 that we owe to a former executive officer pursuant to offer of judgment and $1,686 that we owe to our President’s step-father. See “Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings,” below, for details regarding the offer in judgment.
As of May 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $304,769. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 28% as of May 31, 2008. We plan to resolve our working capital deficit by converting our debt to equity and expanding our operations. For example, in February 2008, Reel-Thing agreed to convert approximately $291,811 into 1,209,524 restricted shares of our common stock. As a result, our current maturities of long-term debt significantly decreased which decreased our working capital deficit. As of May 31, 2008, we had creditors that we plan to offer conversion on aggregate debt of $155,395 consisting of accounts payable to related parties of $31,447, a line of credit of $99,975 and $23,973 of trade accounts payable. The creditors are also current shareholders, persons who have previously provided services to us for shares of our common stock or persons who have previously converted amounts owed to them, so we believe that they may accept our offer, but there can be no assurance.
We believe that if we can generate annual revenue of $500,000, then we would have positive cash flow from operations. We plan to increase our revenue by engaging up to fifty (50) independent sales representatives to generate sales. The sales representatives will receive commissions based on their sales volume and mix of products sold, which would give us flexibility because of the large variance in the gross margin on the Arctic Leash, which is 30%, compared to some of our Arctic Leash private label extension cords, which is as high as 200%. We believe that we can attract sales representatives without a significant amount of additional capital.
During the six months ended May 31, 2008, we had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2,946 consisting of net cash used in operating activities of $112,240 which was offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $109,294. We did not have cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2008.
Net cash used in operating activities was $112,240 during the six months ended May 31, 2008, consisting of net loss of $189,476, an increase in inventory of $24,771, an adjustment for bad debt recovery of $3,925 and a decreases in accounts payable to related party of $494 which were offset by adjustments for stock issued for loan costs of $25,000, depreciation of $5,814 and accretion of discount on notes payable of $9,902, decreases in accounts receivable of $27,208 and prepaid expenses of $7,749 and increases in trade accounts payable of $14,812 and accrued liabilities of $15,941.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $109,294 for the six months ended May 31, 2008, consisting of proceeds from issuance of debt to related parties of $115,619 and proceeds from the sale of stock of $750 which were offset by payments made on debt of $7,075. Richard L. Bienvenue and Matthew Meyer, shareholders and members of our board of directors, provided the debt financing to us.
On November 30, 2006, we obtained a $100,000 line of credit which originally matured on November 30, 2007, but was extended to November 30, 2008. The original annual interest rate was 6.25% with accrued interest paid monthly beginning December 30, 2006. The interest rate was reduced to 5.95% with the extension. A certificate of deposit in the amount of $100,000 was assigned by an APC Group shareholder as collateral for which APC Group issued 200,000 shares of common stock valued and expensed at $30,000 as loan costs. Our board of directors authorized the issuance of an additional 125,000 shares to the shareholder for use of the certificate of deposit as collateral for the extension. At May 31, 2008, there was $25 available to us under this line of credit.
At August 31, 2007, we had current maturities of long-term debt of $27,290, most of which was owed to Reel-Thing. On February 21, 2008, Reel-Thing and we amended our contract to purchase all of the assets of Reel-Thing to revise the repayment schedule. Under the amendment, Reel-Thing converted $291,811, which consisted of $238,000 of past due installment payments on the purchase price and $53,811 of accrued late payment interest, into 1,209,524 restricted shares of our common stock. Reel-Thing also agreed to modify the payment schedule for $195,000 of the purchase price which remained unpaid. We paid $5,000 of the purchase price to Reel-Thing to finalize the amendment and we are scheduled to pay twenty-four (24) installment payments of $7,917 on the first business day of each month beginning on August 1, 2008.
We did not issue any stock for services during the six months ended May 31, 2008. Historically, we have issued a significant amount of shares as compensation to executive officers, employees and professional services providers for services rendered or to be rendered to us. We currently have a limited amount of cash and cash equivalents, and may be required to issue additional shares of common stock as compensation in the future. We value the shares based upon prior sales of our common stock to third parties, which is currently $0.35 per share which could cause our expense level to be disproportionate to our revenue. We believe that if there was a market for our common stock, our service providers would consider it less risky and be willing to accept fewer shares at the market price.
We need to raise $1,500,000 of additional financing in order to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve (12) months and to fully implement our business plan during the next twelve months. The table below depicts how we plan to utilize the additional financing in the event that 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the funds are raised; however, the amounts actually expended for any purposes may vary significantly and will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of our future revenues and the other factors. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of any additional financing.

The funds would be used to increase manufacturing of our products, expand our research and development efforts, and attract a larger talented sales force. We intend to raise the financing from the sale of common stock in one or more private placements or public offerings and/or from bank financing. We do not have any firm commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors or shareholders. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us. Any additional financing may involve dilution to our shareholders. If we are unable to raise additional financing on terms satisfactory to us, or at all, we would not be able to fully implement our business plan which would have a materially adverse effect our business and financial position and could cause us to delay, curtail, scale back or forgo some or all of our operations or we could cease to exist.
Contractual Obligations
In June 2004, we engaged GoPublicToday.com, Inc. (“GPT”) for $75,000 and 500,000 shares of our common stock to provide us with management consulting services in connection with our efforts to become a fully reporting publicly traded company. As of May 31, 2008, we had paid $64,500 and issued the 500,000 shares to GPT. The remaining cash compensation is due upon the effectiveness or abandonment of this registration statement. We also engaged PCMS, a sister-company of GPT for $48,000 and 750,000 shares of our common stock to provide us with regulatory compliance services during the first twelve (12) months that we are required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC and comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. We have issued the 750,000 shares to PCMS and will pay PCMS $4,000 per month during the period that PCMS is providing us with the regulatory compliance services. In February 2007, we issued an additional 500,000 shares to PCMS for additional management consulting services beyond the hours contemplated under our agreement. GPT and PCMS are subsidiaries of Public Company Management Corporation (“PCMC”), a fully reporting, public company.
We lease approximately 3,600 square feet of office and warehouse space for $1,200 per month under a month-to-month operating lease in Fairbanks, Alaska for our corporate headquarters. The lease is cancelable with thirty (30) days written notice.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates if our assumptions do not materialize or conditions affecting those assumptions change.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenues primarily from selling power cord products. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonable assured. This typically occurs when the order is shipped. Provisions for discounts, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recorded.
Customers have the right to inspection and acceptance for generally up to thirty days after taking delivery. We also offer lifetime warranties on power cord products to limited customers with proof of purchases and accrue for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Since inception, we have experienced insignificant product returns and exchanges.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Bad debt expense is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per year, past experience and an estimate of current year uncollectible amounts.
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options according to the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and therefore no related compensation expense was recorded for awards granted with no intrinsic value. We adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under SFAS No. 123R, and, consequently, have not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. During the six months ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, no options were granted by us to our employees.
Going Concern Considerations
In its report dated April 20, 2008, our principal independent auditors expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we suffered recurring losses of $889,462 and $675,488 in 2007 and 2006, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of $3,289,299 and a working capital deficit of $396,657 at November 30, 2007. These conditions persisted during the six months ended May 31, 2008, in which we suffered a loss of $189,476. We will try to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock in one or more private placements or public offerings and/or from bank financing. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the event that we cannot continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon future events, including the acquisition of additional financing to fully implement our business plan. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you will lose your entire investment.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In April 2006, Adrian Marangoni, a former executive officer, filed a lawsuit against us in the District Court for the State of Alaska, Fourth Judicial District at Fairbanks seeking the payment of $21,407, which he claims he loaned to us, along with post judgment interest, costs and attorney’s fees. On June 11, 2007, we made an Offer of Judgment to Mr. Marangoni in the amount of $21,407 which was accepted. Mr. Marangoni has yet to file a form of final judgment computing interest, costs and attorney’s fees. As of May 31 2008, we had accrued $29,761 consisting of the judgment amount, interest from April 1, 2006 to May 31, 2008 at the rate of 9.25% per annum, attorney fees at 18% of the judgment amount and filing fees.
