NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Splinternet Holdings, Inc., a Company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 22, 2006, conducted a share for share exchange of securities with Splinternet Communications, Inc. (“Splinternet”) on April 3, 2006, whereby 214,002 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splinternet Communications, Inc. were exchanged for 53,500,500 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (the “Share Exchange”), as a result of which Splinternet Communications, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (“ the Company”). Splinternet Holdings, Inc. does not conduct any business or own any assets other than all of the issued and outstanding shares of Splinternet Communications, Inc. and Vidiation, Inc.
Splinternet Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Connecticut in January 2000. Splinternet Communications, Inc., which also operates under the name Defentect in connection with its radiation detection business, is a developer of Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and messaging system which interfaces with Defentect’s radiation detection devices, third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event sensors. The software which is managed over the Web, utilizing existing network infrastructure, to provide administrative and configuration services enabling our customers to add these type of devices to their existing security systems for unmanned detection, alerts and messaging for a variety of threat-event detection. In addition, Splinternet continues to resell excess VoIP capacity primarily to traditional international carriers.
On April 30, 2008, the Company acquired Vidiation, Inc. (“Vidiation”)a radiation detection company, for a purchase price of approximately $2.6 million, excluding transaction costs of approximately $0.01 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination. The purchase price was allocated to the net assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Vidiation, Inc. is a radiation detection sales and marketing company incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2007, which acquired certain assets from Vidiation LLC. Vidiation LLC was a radiation detection technology development company which had extensive sales and marketing experience in the surveillance and security market space and was actively engaged in that space.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed. The financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary as of September 30, 2009 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 to fairly present the financial position presented herein. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
7
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, potential common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Warrants to purchase 1,032,500 shares of the Company's common stock, as of September 30, 2009, were not included in the calculation, due to the fact that these warrants were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. 603,393 options issued in 2008 were excluded as they were not vested. Vested options to purchase 301,667 shares of the Company's common stock, as of September 30, 2009, were not included in the calculation, due to the fact that these options were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All current assets are carried at their cost and current liabilities are recorded at their contract amount, which approximates fair value because of their short term nature. The carrying value of short-term financing arrangements and notes receivable approximates fair value because interest rates over the relative term of these instruments approximate current market interest rates.
LIQUIDITY
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $53,000 in cash and liabilities of approximately $935,000. The Company’s net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $523,121 hence, the Company will require additional funding in order to be adequately funded for the foreseeable future.
The Company has a history of substantial operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $4,614,548 as of September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net loss was $875,065. The Company has historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because expenses have exceeded revenues. The Company expects to incur additional operating losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay expenses or is unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the sole source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in June 2009. The Statement does not change existing GAAP.
3. MAJOR CUSTOMER
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, one customer (BuenaVox LLC) accounted for 97% of all revenues, for both these periods.
8
4. TAXES
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. Uncertain tax positions are recognized if they meet “more likely than not” criteria. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at September 30, 2009. The tax years 2005 through 2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
As of September 30, 2009 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,605,000 available to offset taxable income through the year 2028.
The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset for the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences, aggregating approximately $1,840,000 as of September 30, 2009. In recognition of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits to be derived, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $1,840,000 at September 30, 2009.
5. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the Company issued 4,010,537 shares of common stock to employees and consultants for services rendered and recorded a non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $711,000. Included in that amount were issuances of 375,000 shares of stock to its chairman of the board and 1,000,000 shares of stock to an outside consultant for providing marketing, financial oversight and strategic planning services for twelve months beginning August 17, 2009 of which approximately $105,000 is included in prepaid expenses. The Company recorded non-cash stock compensation expense of approximately $35,000 and $15,000 respectively. The Company also issued to Frank O’Connor for services rendered 250,000 warrants which are exercisable into shares of common stock at $0.40 per share and expire in two years.
The Company also sold 720,000 common shares and 720,000 warrants and received proceeds of $90,000. The warrants have a strike price of $0.10 per share and expire in June 2011. Each warrant is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s common stock.

6. STOCK PLAN
On April 22, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Splinternet Holdings, Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Stock Plan”). Under the 2008 Stock Plan, officers, other employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company or its subsidiaries may be awarded stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock awards. The number of shares subject to the 2008 Stock Plan may not exceed 6,000,000 shares in total. Adoption of the 2008 Stock Plan is subject to the approval by the Company’s shareholders within twelve months of the adoption by the Board of Directors. The 2008 Stock Plan provides for the grant of (i) options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within the meaning of Section 422 or 424 of the Internal Revenue Code to key employees and (ii) options not so intended to qualify ("Nonqualified Stock Options") to officers, employees of or consultants to the Company or any non employee director. On April 22 and 30, 2008, the Board of Directors granted 1,265,000 nonqualified stock options to employees and consultants. The Stock Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (or if there is no committee, the Board of Directors itself). The committee shall determine the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option and the terms and conditions of exercise. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, 360,000 stock options were forfeited when the individuals stopped working for the Company.
The exercise price of Incentive Stock Options granted under the plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The maximum term for each Incentive Stock Option granted is five years. Options shall be exercisable at such times and in such installments as the committee shall provide in the terms of each individual option. The maximum number of shares for which options may be granted to any individual in any fiscal year is 2,000,000. The Stock Plan also provides for the granting of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards, qualified performance awards and stock awards. The Board of Directors has not granted any of these other types of awards.
The share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $34,000 and $102,000 respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 the share-based compensation expense was approximately $35,000 and $86,200.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $217,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 4.63 years.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company conducts its operations in two business segments; the Radiation Sensor and Detection Division (Defentect) and the VoIP Division (through Splinternet Communications, Inc.). The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments primarily based on revenues and operating income.

Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements included in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements”, which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual financial or operating results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements not to occur or be realized. These forward-looking statements generally are based on our best estimates of future results, performances or achievements, based upon current conditions and assumptions. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “can,” “could,” “project,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” “predict,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “continue,” “potential,” “would,” “should,” “aim,” “opportunity” or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms or other variations of those terms or comparable words or expressions. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
· | general economic conditions in both foreign and domestic markets, |
· | Cyclical factors affecting our industry, |
· | lack of growth in our industry, |
· | our ability to comply with government regulations, |
· | a failure to manage our business effectively and profitably, |
· | our ability to sell both new and existing products and services at profitable yet competitive prices, and |

Overview
Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or “Splinternet”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 22, 2006. On April 3, 2006, Splinternet Holdings, Inc. conducted a share for share exchange of securities with Splinternet Communications, Inc. whereby 214,002 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splinternet Communications, Inc. were exchanged for 53,500,500 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (the “Share Exchange”), as a result of which Splinternet Communications, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Splinternet Holdings, Inc.
Splinternet Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Connecticut in January 12, 2000. Splinternet Communications, Inc. which operates under the name Defentect in connection with its radiation detection business is a developer of Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and messaging system which interfaces with Defentect’s radiation detection devices, third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event sensors. The software which is managed over the Web, utilizing existing network infrastructure, to provide administrative and configuration services enabling our customers to add these type of devices to their existing security systems for unmanned detection, alerts and messaging for a variety of threat-event detection. In addition, Splinternet continues to resell excess VoIP capacity primarily to traditional international carriers.

On April 30, 2008, Splinternet Holdings, Inc. consummated the transaction contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Vidiation Merger Agreement”) dated February 7, 2008 among the Company, Vidiation, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Splinternet Merger Sub I, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the purpose of such transaction) (the “Merger Sub”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub has merged into Vidiation, Inc. resulting in Vidiation, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon closing, Splinternet Holdings, Inc. issued an aggregate of 4,788,179 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Vidiation, Inc. in exchange for the cancellation of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Vidiation, Inc.
Vidiation, Inc. is a radiation detection sales and marketing company incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 10, 2007, which acquired certain assets from Vidiation LLC. Vidiation LLC was a radiation detection technology development company which had extensive sales and marketing experience in the surveillance and security market space and was actively engaged in that space. The progress Vidiation, Inc. had been making in that business was desired by the Company and precipitated the above-referenced transaction.
Since our inception, the Company has generated limited revenues. We are presently considering the acquisition of other companies with compatible products and which can benefit from the Company’s infrastructure under circumstances where there is a strategic, technology, and marketing fit for enhancement. In addition to seeking acquisition candidates, during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company began its development of a radiation device which signifies our entry into the radiation detection market. During 2008, we developed Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and messaging system which interfaces with our radiation detection devices, third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event sensors. During the fourth quarter 2008 we began product trials for our radiation detection device and management, monitoring and messaging system with a major metropolitan hospital, a major metropolitan police department and a global transportation and logistics provider. These trials completed during the second quarter 2009 at which time the Company submitted system proposals to the hospital and transportation provide for additional product. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company began shipping its radiation detection product. The Company continues purchasing long distance minutes at wholesale prices from phone companies and then reselling them at a markup to its customers. The Company believes that over time it will build sales volume sufficient to cover the costs of operations through this strategy. There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its efforts to either acquire other companies or generate service or equipment sales sufficient to cover its costs of operations.

Results of Operations
SERVICE REVENUE
Service revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $294,285 and $681,684 which is an increase from $244,167 and $645,125 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is due to higher usage of the Company’s long distance termination by its customer during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
COST OF REVENUE
The Company continues to purchase long distance minutes at wholesale prices from phone companies and then resells them at a markup to its customers. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the costs of the wholesale minutes were $331,995 and $656,796 which is an increase from $239,172 and $619,917 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is due to higher usage of the Company’s long distance termination by its customer during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, selling, general and administrative costs were $187,443 and $747,834 which is a decrease from $462,195 and $1,158,875 in the comparable period in 2008. The decreases are the result of cost cutting measures the Company began undertaking since the fourth quarter of 2008.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development decreased to $33,233 and $124,336 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $63,688 and $178,847 for the comparable periods in 2008. The decreases are the result of cost cutting measures the Company began undertaking since the fourth quarter of 2008.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest earned in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1,350 and $4,053 compared to $3,449 and $21,847 for the comparable period in 2008. This is primarily due to a lower average balance invested in 2009 due to the Company using cash to fund operations and lower interest rates.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $16,269 and $31,836 compared to $417 and $417 for the comparable period in 2008. This is due to the accrual of interest on notes made by the President and Chief Executive Officer to the Company.
NET LOSS
We recognized a net loss of $273,305, during the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $517,856 during the same period in the prior year for an overall decrease in net loss of $244,551. We recognized a net loss of $875,065, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $1,291,084, during the same period in the prior year for an overall decrease in net loss of $416,019. The decrease in the net loss was primarily the result of the Company’s cost cutting measure which began during the fourth quarter of 2008.
15
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2009, we had approximately $53,000 in cash and liabilities of approximately $935,000; hence, we require additional funding in order to be adequately funded for the foreseeable future. The Company has primarily supplied its cash needs through loans from Mr. Ackerly (the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer) and stock offerings. The Company’s need to obtain capital from outside investors is expected to continue until we are able to achieve profitable operations, if ever.
The Company has a history of substantial operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $4,614,548 as of September 30, 2009. The Company has historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because expenses have exceeded revenues. The Company expects to incur additional operating losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about ability to continue as a going concern.
Net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $523,121which was primarily the result of the net loss of $875,065 plus decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $227,694 offset by non-cash stock compensation expense of $711,179. This compares to net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $1,003,928 which was primarily the result of the net loss of $1,291,084 offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $112,438, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $40,305 and a non-cash stock option expense of $86,217. No net cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the same period in the prior year. This is due to the Company eliminating the purchase of property and equipment to conserve cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $569,615 compared to a use of $89,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The change in 2009 is primarily due to loans from the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in the amount of $479,615 during the first nine months of 2009 compared to $75,417 in the same period of 2008 and the sale of common stock which generated $90,000 in net proceeds during the first nine months of 2009 versus the loaning of $165,000 to Vidiation, Inc. during the same period in 2008. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations to pay expenses or is unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected which may force us to cease operations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2009 the President and current CEO loaned the Company $85,000 which bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand.
Capital Commitments
The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Trends
The radiation detection industry, which the Company has recently entered, is subject to federal, state, and international governmental regulation. Unknown matters, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws or regulations may materially affect our entry into this business or operations in the future and/or could increase the cost of compliance. Our products will have to comply with various domestic and international standards that are used by regulatory and accreditation bodies for approving such services and products. The failure of the Company to obtain accreditation for its products and services may adversely affect us and the market perception of the effectiveness of our proposed products. In the future, changes in these standards and accreditation requirements may also result in the Company having to incur substantial costs to adapt its offerings and procedures. Additionally, changes affecting radiation detection practices, including new understandings of the hazards of radiation exposure and amended regulations, may impact how the Company’s services are used by its customers and may, in some circumstances, cause the Company to alter its products and delivery of its services.
The VoIP industry in which we operate is in a state of dynamic and rapid change. VoIP services are gaining acceptance in the marketplace and we intend to take advantage of that trend by attempting to sell into a more willing marketplace, despite the increased competition.
16
We have noted that several VoIP service retailers in the United States are currently offering services to end users for no charge, as a promotional program to attract users to their systems. We acknowledge that this may attract users, but do not believe there is any assurance users acquired in this manner can be converted into sources of revenue, even if they are part of a subscriber base to which advertising can be delivered on behalf of third parties. The role of United States retail services in that environment is unknown.
Seasonal Fluctuations
There have been no fluctuations in our business to date which can be attributed to seasonality.
Employment Agreements
Currently, we have no written employment agreements with any of our employees or officers.
17
Risk Factors
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion.
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, indicating that our recurring losses from operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have a limited operating history and a history of substantial operating losses and we may not be able to continue our business.
We have a history of substantial operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $4,614,548 as of September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net loss was $980,605. We have historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because our expenses have exceeded our revenues. We expect to incur additional operating losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our operations to pay expenses or we are unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
We will need additional financing in order to continue our operations which we may not be able to raise.
We will require additional capital to finance our future operations. We can provide no assurance that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. If we are unable to obtain the necessary financing, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
Our performance depends on market acceptance of our products and we cannot be sure that our products are commercially viable.
We expect to derive a substantial portion of our future revenues from the sales of radiation detection equipment and services that is only now entering the initial marketing phase. Although we believe our products and technologies will be commercially viable, these are new products. If markets for our products fail to develop further, develop more slowly than expected or are subject to substantial competition, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.
Rapidly changing technology and substantial competition may adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to rapid changes in technology. We can provide no assurances that research and development by competitors will not render our technology obsolete or uncompetitive. We compete with a number of companies that have technologies and products similar to those offered by us and have greater resources, including more extensive research and development, marketing and capital than we do. If our technology is rendered obsolete or we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Defects in our products may adversely affect our business.
Complex technologies such as the technologies developed by us may contain defects when introduced and also when updates and new products are released. Our introduction of technology with defects or quality problems may result in adverse publicity, product returns, reduced orders, uncollectible or delayed accounts receivable, product redevelopment costs, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products or claims by customers or others against us. Such problems or claims may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
18
If we are unable to successfully integrate acquisitions, our revenue growth and future profitability may be negatively impacted.
The process of integrating an acquired business, technology or product may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention and capital that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our business. In addition, we may not be able to maintain the levels of operating efficiency that any company we may acquire achieved or might have achieved separately. Additional risks we face include:
· | the need to implement or remediate controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company in an acquired company that, prior to the acquisition, lacked these controls, procedures and policies; |
· | cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from an acquired company or business into our organization; |
· | retaining key employees from the businesses we acquire; |
· | the need to integrate an acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management; and |
· | to the extent that we engage in strategic transactions outside of the United States, we face additional risks, including risks related to integration of operations across different cultures and languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries. |
Future acquisitions and investments could involve the issuance of our equity securities, potentially diluting our existing shareholders, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, write-offs of goodwill, intangibles, or acquired in-process technology, or other increased expenses, any of which could harm our financial condition. Our shareholders may not have the opportunity to review, vote on or evaluate future acquisitions or investments.
Our stock price can be extremely volatile.
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that an active public market will continue for the common stock, or that the market price for the common stock will not decline below its current price. Such price may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to, investor perception of us and our industry and general economic and market conditions. The trading price of the common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to announcements of our business developments or our competitors, quarterly variations in operating results, and other events or factors. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of companies, at times for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be sporadic because it is not a stock exchange, and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap.
19
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock.
We have not declared dividends on our common stock since our incorporation and we have no present intention of paying dividends on our common stock.
MANY OF THESE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL AND ARE DIFFICULT FOR US TO FORECAST. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following is a discussion of the accounting policies that the Company believes are critical to its operations:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
We follow the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
20
We recognize revenue when products have been shipped or services have been performed. In cases where a customer prepays a subscription for services to be performed in a period which extends from one accounting period into a subsequent period, we only recognize the portion of income due for services performed in the current reporting period. In cases where there is an acceptance period during which a subscriber may cancel their agreement without penalty, we defer the revenue recognition until the end of that acceptance period.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired. The process of determining goodwill requires judgment. The Company had recorded Goodwill as a result of its acquisition of Vidiation, Inc. Vidiation, Inc. had signed numerous reseller agreements, established relationships with key corporations in the radiation detection industry and negotiated pilot programs to test the Splinternet Defentect technology at the time of the acquisition. These were measurable outputs that Vidiation, Inc. had achieved as a sales and marketing firm in the radiation technology industry at the time of the acquisition. The combination of these outputs with its policies, procedures, management and systems, combined to allow the Vidiation, Inc. to meet the definition of a business and therefore was subject to SFAS 141, Business Combinations accounting. As a result, after allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets, the difference was determined to be Goodwill. Evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the fair value of the reporting units. Inherent in such fair value determinations are certain judgments and estimates, including the interpretation of current economic indicators and market valuations, and the strategic plans with regard to the Company’s operations. To the extent additional information arises or the strategies change, it is possible the conclusion regarding goodwill impairment could change, which could have a material effect on the financial position and results of operations. For these reasons, the Company believes the accounting estimates related to goodwill impairment is a critical accounting estimate.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, and results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and (2) that this information 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. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Prior to the filing date of this report, under the supervision and review of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information regarding us that is required to be included in our periodic reports to the SEC.
21
In addition, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We can provide no assurance, however, that our system of disclosure controls and procedures will always achieve its stated goals under all future conditions, no matter how remote.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Except as set forth below, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.
In 2008, Kerrigan & Associates, Inc. (“Kerrigan”) commenced an action against Vidiation, Inc., Vidiation LLC, Frank O’Connor and others in Fairfax Circuit Court, Fairfax, Virginia wherein Kerrigan alleges that it is owed $59,000 for consulting services rendered prior to our acquisition of Vidiation, Inc. Splinternet has been added as a defendant wherein Kerrigan alleges that Splinternet Holdings, Inc. assumed all of the assets and liabilities of Vidiation, Inc.
On February 26, 2009, Vidiation Inc. and Frank O’Connor agreed to settle the dispute. Under the terms of the settlement, Vidiation, Inc. paid $12,000 on February 26, 2009 and $22,000 on May 22, 2009 to Kerrigan. Mr. O’Connor agreed to reimburse Vidiation, Inc. for both payments. In the event that Mr. O’Connor does not reimburse Vidiation, Inc. for either of the two payments to the vendor, Vidiation, Inc. or the Company may satisfy the obligation by withholding funds otherwise due from Vidiation, Inc. or the Company to Mr. O’Connor.
On April 28, 2009, The Idler Company, Inc. (“Idler”) commenced an action against Splinternet Holdings, Inc., Vidiation, Inc., Vidiation, LLC, Frank O’Connor and James C. Ackerly in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut pertaining to the purchase by Idler of shares of Vidiation, LLC for $100,000 in 2007. Such action alleges various securities law violations, breach of contract, rescission, fraud and unjust enrichment. We intend to vigorously defend this matter. However, we cannot predict or estimate the timing or ultimate outcome of this matter.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
In connection with the appointment of Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective October 10, 2008, the Board has agreed to issue to Ambassador Bremer, or his designee, 1,000,000 shares of our common stock which will vest quarterly over two years with acceleration of vesting when authorized by the Board of Directors in acknowledgement of extraordinary circumstances or success. As a result, unless accelerated, 125,000 shares will be issued to Ambassador Bremer quarterly and the Company will record non-cash compensation expense for the fair value of shares issued. A total of 500,000 shares have been issued to date. Of such amount, 375,000 were issued in 2009. The issuance of these shares of common stock are exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the second and third quarters of 2009, we sold an aggregate of 720,000 shares of our common stock to certain investors for total gross proceeds of $90,000 in a private placement offering to accredited investors only. In connection therewith, the investors received 720,000 warrants exercisable into shares of common stock at $0.10 per share which warrants shall expire in two years. These securities were sold directly by the Company, without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind and without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions to any person. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 thereunder.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company issued to Frank O’Connor for services rendered 500,000 shares of common stock and 250,000 warrants which are exercisable into shares of common stock at $0.40 per share and expire in two years.
