NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
V2K International, Inc. (“International”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on March 13, 2006. International, through its subsidiary companies, V2K Window Fashions, Inc., V2K Technology, Inc., V2K Manufacturing, Inc. and Marketing Source International, LLC, sells and supports franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry, develops and licenses proprietary software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers, acts as a broker for the manufacturing of the resulting soft window treatment products and provides product development resources and acts as a sales agent for overseas window covering manufacturers.
International and subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”.
Details of the Company’s subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 are described below:
Entity name | | Place of incorporation and legal entity | | Principal activities | | Effective interest held |
| | | | | | |
V2K Window Fashions, Inc. (“Windows”) | | Colorado corporation | | Franchise sales and support | | 100% |

In April 2006, International, in a share for share exchange, acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Window’s preferred and common stock. Shares of Window’s preferred and common stock were exchanged for shares of common stock in International on a 1 for 35 basis and 1 for 10 basis, respectively. Windows sells and supports franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry. Franchisees sell and install window treatments for retail and commercial clients using software licensed from Technology, training manuals, policies, procedures and knowledge. Franchisees are located throughout the United States, in three Canadian provinces and in Aruba.

ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
In August 2006, Windows opened its first company-owned franchise location, incorporated as Window Fashions Franchise LLC (“Franchise LLC”). In July 2007, Windows sold 100% of its ownership interest in Franchise LLC to a third party.
In April 2006, Windows transferred legal ownership of Manufacturing and the related equity interest to International. Windows had acquired Manufacturing in January 2004. In October 2007, the Company sold the inventory and fixed assets of Manufacturing to a third party (see Note 5 - Sale of Assets of V2K Manufacturing.) Manufacturing now acts as a broker for the manufacturing of soft window treatments supplied to Windows and its franchisees by managing strategic alliances with outside vendors.
In July 2006, in order to further protect the intellectual property associated with the software and to facilitate future licensing agreements, the software and software development team formerly held by Windows were spun-off to form V2K Technology, Inc. Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of International, and licenses a customized window fashions franchise software to Windows.
In April 2007, the Company formed MSI to generate revenues by acting as a product development resource and sales agent for overseas window covering manufacturers. To date MSI has engaged in only preliminary discussions with overseas window covering manufacturers. MSI is a wholly owned subsidiary of International.
LIQUIDITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the management of the Company these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2008, and the results of consolidated operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated cash flows for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any future period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein are presented as required by Form 10-Q, and do not contain information included in the Company’s audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
The Company incurred a net loss of $677,249 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and has incurred significant net losses since inception. Management believes that over time revenues from franchising will allow the Company to become profitable, based upon management’s projections and budgets. The Company has implemented various programs to strengthen the performance of its franchises, including the launch of a kiosk marketing program that is designed to generate more sales leads for its franchise base. If successful, this program would result in more sales revenues for the franchises and thus more royalty income for the Company. This would also help the Company in selling more franchises. In addition, the Company has also implemented cost reduction measures to improve its operating results.
In the near-term, external sources of capital will be needed to implement marketing programs and augment working capital. During the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company has executed various promissory notes totaling $370,000 in favor of officers of the Company (see Note 7). If business operations do not result in increased revenues, the Company’s business viability, financial position, results from operations and cash flow will likely be adversely affected, and management may elect to raise additional money through additional borrowing and/or the sale of equity.
CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
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. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FRANCHISE OPERATIONS
Franchise Overview
At June 30, 2008, the Company had 171independently owned franchises located in 39 states, the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Colombia and Manitoba and Aruba. Franchisees are required to pay the Company an initial franchise fee, royalty fees aggregating between 4% and 8% of gross sales and an advertising contribution fee of 2% of gross sales. In addition, all materials and goods sold by franchisees are processed, billed and collected through the Company using approved vendors and suppliers.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FRANCHISE OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Reacquired Franchise Rights
The Company occasionally reacquires the rights to a franchise territory. When this occurs the Company contracts with the franchisee to reacquire the territory for a specified amount that can consist of cash, a note payable, and/or forgiveness of debt. While these territories provide benefits to the Company, they lack physical substance, thus, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company records reacquired franchise rights as intangible assets at fair value. Fair value is established as the total amount of consideration consisting of cash or debt forgiveness, but will not exceed the estimated resale amounts of the territory less all related costs of sales. The Company has concluded that reacquired territories have indeterminate lives, so the resulting intangible assets are not amortized. When reacquired territories are resold, the intangible assets are offset against the cost of the sale, and the related carrying value is reduced. The Company assesses impairment of intangible assets on an annual basis. If any impairment is found, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to the fair value. Franchise rights reacquired in the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 totaled 2 and 3, respectively. The total amounts of cash and debt forgiven to reacquire franchise rights in nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $32,950 and $50,828, respectively.
Repossessed Franchises
The Company has the right to repossess (cancel) franchises. When this occurs the Company cancels a franchise agreement and takes the franchise territory back from the franchisee. The Company cancels franchises for failure to abide by the terms and conditions of franchise agreements, and for failure to meet minimum performance standards pursuant to franchise agreements. Occasionally, franchisees voluntarily surrender their territories. No consideration is exchanged in these situations, and none of the franchise fee is refunded, thus under SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue”, no fair value is assigned to these transactions. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company repossessed 25 and 21 franchises, respectively.
INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT
Intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights from the repurchase of franchise territories. The Company has determined that reacquired franchise rights have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. As of June 30, 2008, no impairment has been recorded.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
| Initial franchise fees are recognized upon the commencement of operations by the franchisee, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Unearned income represents franchise fees received for which the Company has not completed its initial obligations under the franchise agreement. Such obligations, |

REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
consisting mostly of training, are generally fulfilled within 60 days of receipt of the initial franchise fee. Royalties and advertising fees are recognized as earned
Franchisees place all orders for materials and supplies with the Company. The Company reviews each proposed purchase order to determine whether the products can be made as requested, makes any necessary changes, and then places the corresponding orders with its vendors. Accordingly, the Company determines all product specifications. While the products are shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, the Company receives title to the shipped items and has the physical risk of loss upon shipment. The Company is liable to the vendors for payment and collects the amounts due for the goods from the franchisees. The Company negotiates all pricing with the vendors and has the ability to establish rebate programs with vendors, mark-ups or any other method of creating margin. In addition, the Company is responsible to the franchisees for goods shipped by the vendors that do not meet specifications. The Company has discretion in supplier selection. Thus, the Company acts as a principal as defined in the Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.” Revenue from materials and supplies sales is recorded upon shipment to the franchisee by the vendor and represents approximately 77% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008, 70% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007, 71% of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 67% of total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2007.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on income per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “as if converted method.” The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, all outstanding options were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect of the assumed exercise and conversions would be anti-dilutive.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,” which requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Since the Company does not incur any costs between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $74,165 and $98,838, respectively, and for nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $242,982 and $324,762, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
| The Company maintains an allowance for potential losses based on its estimate of uncollectible accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts incorporates protection against write-offs for bad debts with respect to both notes receivable and accounts receivable. This allowance is calculated based on historical write-offs as a percentage of these accounts and from current analysis of the existing franchise base. The Company believes that the current allowance is adequate for these potential write-offs based on these assumptions. This account is reviewed monthly and adjusted as needed. At June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, allowance for doubtful accounts was $60,056 and $40,057, respectively. |
| Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions to SFAS 123(R), using the modified-prospective transition method for all options and warrants issued. Under that transition method, employee compensation cost of $19,931 and $58,372 was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and $63,613 and $181,415 was recognized in the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. |
| The calculated value of stock options granted under these plans, following calculation methods prescribed by SFAS 123, uses the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model with the following assumptions used: |
| Nine Months Ended | | Nine Months Ended |
| June 30, | | June 30, |
| 2008 | | 2007 |
Expected option life-years | 3.00 - 5.00 | | 3.00 |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.33% - 2.87% | | 5.25% |
Dividend yield | - | | - |
Volatility | 95% - 106% | | 28% |
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. At June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, there were no cash equivalents.
Cash at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 includes $54,419 and $42,289, respectively, of cash restricted for advertising and marketing. Such funds were contributed by franchisees to a National/Regional/Local Advertising Fund pursuant to franchise agreements, and may not be used for the general operations of the Company.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). The purpose of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining applicable accounting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval. We believe that the adoption of this standard on its effective date will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
On March 19, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
History and Overview
V2K International, Inc. (“International”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on March 13, 2006. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, V2K Window Fashions, Inc., V2K Technology, Inc., V2K Manufacturing, Inc. and Marketing Source International, LLC, we sell and support franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry, develop and license proprietary software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers, act as a broker for the manufacturing of the resulting soft window treatment products and provide product development resources and act as a sales agent for overseas window covering manufacturers.
Details of the Company’s subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 are described below:
Entity name | | Place of incorporation and legal entity | | Principal activities | | Effective interest Held |
| | | | | | |
V2K Window Fashions, Inc. (“Windows”) | | Colorado corporation | | Franchise sales and support | | 100% |
| | | | | | |
V2K Technology, Inc. (“Technology”) | | Colorado corporation | | Development and licensing of software | | 100% |
| | | | | | |
V2K Manufacturing, Inc. (“Manufacturing”) | | Colorado corporation | | Broker for manufacturing of soft window covering products | | 100% |
| | | | | | |
Marketing Source International, LLC (“MSI”) | | Colorado limited liability company | | Product development resource and selling agent for manufacturing sources | | 100% |
In April 2006, in a share for share exchange, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Windows’ preferred and common stock in exchange for shares of common stock in International on a 1 for 35 basis and 1 for 10 basis, respectively.
In August 2006, Windows opened its first company-owned franchise location, incorporated as Window Fashions Franchise, LLC. In July 2007, Windows sold 100% of its ownership interest in Window Fashions Franchise, LLC to a third party.
In April 2006, Windows transferred legal ownership of Manufacturing and the related equity interest to International. Windows had acquired Manufacturing in January 2004. In October 2007, we sold the inventory and fixed assets of Manufacturing to a third party. Manufacturing now acts as a broker for the manufacturing of soft window treatments supplied to Windows and its franchisees by managing strategic alliances with outside vendors.
In July 2006, in order to further protect the intellectual property associated with the software and to facilitate future licensing agreements, the software and software development team formerly held by
Windows were spun-off to form Technology. Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of International and licenses a customized window fashions franchise software to Windows.
In April 2007, we organized MSI to generate revenues by acting as a product development resource and sales agent for overseas window coverings manufacturers. MSI has engaged in only preliminary discussions with overseas window coverings manufacturers as of the date of this filing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Franchise Operations – Overview. Franchisees are required to pay us an initial franchise fee, royalty fees aggregating between 4% and 8% of gross sales and an advertising contribution fee of 2% of gross sales. In addition, all materials and goods sold by franchisees are processed, billed and collected through us approved vendors and suppliers.
Franchise Operations - Reacquired Franchise Rights. We occasionally reacquire the rights to a franchise territory. When this occurs we contract with the franchisee to reacquire the territory for a specified amount that can consist of cash, a note payable, and/or forgiveness of debt. While these territories provide benefits to the Company, they lack physical substance, thus, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, we record reacquired franchise rights as intangible assets at fair value. Fair value is established as the total amount of consideration which can include cash and debt forgiveness, but will not exceed the estimated resale amount of the territory less all related costs of sales. We have concluded that reacquired territories have indeterminate lives, so the resulting intangible assets are not amortized. When reacquired territories are resold, the intangible assets are offset against the cost of the sale, and the related carrying value is reduced. We assess impairment of intangible assets on an annual basis. If any impairment is found, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to the fair value. Franchise rights reacquired in the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 totaled 2 and 3, respectively. The total amount of cash paid and debt forgiven to reacquire franchise rights for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $32,950 and $50,828, respectively.
Franchise Operations - Repossessed Franchises. We have the right to repossess (cancel) franchises. When this occurs we cancel a franchise agreement and take the franchise territory back from the franchisee. We cancel franchises for failure to abide by the terms and conditions of franchise agreements, and for failure to meet minimum performance standards pursuant to franchise agreements. Occasionally, franchisees voluntarily surrender their territories. No consideration is exchanged in these situations, and none of the franchise fee is refunded, thus under SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue”, no fair value is assigned to these transactions. In the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, we repossessed 25 and 21 franchises, respectively.
Intangible Asset Impairment. Intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights from the repurchase of franchise territories. We have determined that reacquired franchise rights have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. No impairment has been recorded as of either June 30, 2008 or June 30, 2007.
Revenue Recognition. Initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue upon the commencement of operations by the franchisee, which is when we have performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Unearned income represents franchise fees received for which we have not yet performed all of our initial obligations under the franchise agreement. Such obligations, consisting mostly of training, are generally fulfilled within 60 days of receipt of the initial franchise fee. Royalty and advertising fees are recognized as earned.
Franchisees place all orders for materials and supplies with us. We review each proposed purchase order to determine whether the products can be made as requested, make any necessary changes, and then place the corresponding orders with our vendors. Accordingly, we determine all product specifications. While the products are shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, we receive title to the shipped items and have the physical risk of loss upon shipment. We are liable to the vendors for payment and collect the amounts due for the goods from the franchisees. We negotiate all pricing with the vendors and have the ability to establish rebate programs with vendors, mark-ups or any other method of creating margin. In addition, we are responsible to the franchisees for goods shipped by the vendors that do not meet specifications. We have discretion in supplier selection. Thus, we act as a principal as defined in the Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. At this time, our operations are such that there are two primary areas of estimates and assumptions that could potentially have a material impact to the financial statements if significantly miscalculated. These areas are the allowance for doubtful accounts and share-based compensation.
Allowance for Bad Debts. The allowance for doubtful accounts incorporates protection against write-offs for bad debt with respect to both notes receivable and accounts receivable. This allowance is calculated based on historical write-offs as a percentage of these accounts and from current analysis of our existing franchise base. We believe that the current allowance is adequate for these potential write-offs based on these assumptions. This account is reviewed in detail monthly and adjusted as needed. At June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, allowance for doubtful accounts was $60,056 and $40,057, respectively.
The potential risk of these estimates can be material to the financial statements, because the receivables are the largest assets on the balance sheet. If we were to incur adjustments for write-offs that were not covered under the allowance it would be recorded as bad debt expense in operating expenses, and the offset would reduce the related receivables balance on the balance sheet. Based on the average receivable balances for the last 24 months, if the estimate was significantly miscalculated it could have a negative impact of $100,000 to $200,000 to the financial statements. We believe based on our knowledge and ongoing review that the risk of miscalculating to this level is low, barring any unforeseen economic downturn.
Share Based Compensation. Share-based compensation involves calculating the value of stock options granted under our stock option plan, following calculation methods prescribed by SFAS 123R. We use the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, which requires assumptions for expected option life, a risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and volatility. Expected option life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury market, and volatility is derived from an analysis of trading prices of the stock of a peer company. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, share-based compensation was $63,613 and $181,415, respectively. Share-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses as an operating expense and therefore has a significant impact on results of operations.
Results of Operations
At this point in our development, our results of operations are impacted primarily by the sales of franchises, as our existing franchise base is too small to generate enough royalty revenue and gross profit margin from sales of materials and supplies to support our operations. While revenues from sales of material and supplies comprise approximately 71 % of total revenues, the margin on these sales ranges from 2% to no more than 10%. Our margins are relatively low because we do not have enough volume to obtain better pricing from our vendors. We limit our mark-up to our franchisees so that they can be competitive in quoting prices to customers and also operate profitably.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, sales of franchises decreased by $325,757 (63%) from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a reduced marketing budget. Our gross margin on sales of franchises was 32% for 2008 and 49% for 2007. The most significant component of cost of franchise sales is the selling commission. If we obtain the sale of a franchise through the assistance of a broker, we pay a commission equal to 40% of the franchise purchase price, with an additional 7.2% commission paid to our in-house sales personnel. If we obtain the sale of a franchise without the assistance of a broker, we pay a 12% commission to our in-house sales personnel. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, more of our sales were with the assistance of a broker when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
For the 2008 period, royalty and advertising fees decreased by $31,154 (17%). Sales of materials and supplies decreased by $502,342 (31%). While there were roughly the same number of franchisees in operation during each period, retail sales by franchisees in 2008 appear to reflect a downturn in the housing market and general economy. Our franchisees report that with fewer homes being sold, there seemed to be less demand for window covering products. Also, in an effort to stimulate franchise sales we have issued more royalty credits in 2008 than in the comparable period of 2007.
While our revenues decreased by $859,253 (37%), our operating expenses decreased by $891,143 (35%), resulting in a reduction of $31,890 (13%) in loss from operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $246,946 (37%), with the most significant decreases being in stock compensation expense (approximately $34,000), payroll (approximately $88,000) and accounting fees of (approximately $16,000). Research and development expenses decreased by $24,673 (25%), primarily due to reductions in personnel.
Interest expense increased by $9,835 (480%) for the 2008 period, primarily due to additional draws of $150,000 on the line of credit and the addition of $370,000 in notes from related parties.
As a result of the above, our net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $219,781 as compared to $237,532 for the comparable 2007 quarter, a decrease of $17,751 (7%).
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2008 as Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2007. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, sales of franchises decreased by $464,049 (33%) from the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year due primarily to a reduced marketing budget. Our gross margin on sales of franchises was 41% for 2008 and 45% for 2007.
For the 2008 period, royalty and advertising fees decreased by $176,951 (28%). Sales of materials and supplies decreased by $665,397 (16%). While there were roughly the same number of franchisees in operation during each period, retail sales by franchisees in 2008 appear to reflect a downturn in the housing market and general economy. Our franchisees report that with fewer homes
being sold, there seemed to be less demand for window covering products. Also, in an effort to stimulate franchise sales we have issued more royalty credits in 2008 than in the comparable period of 2007.
While our revenues decreased by $1,306,397 (21%), our operating expenses decreased by $1,358,055 (20%), resulting in a reduction of $51,658 (7%) in loss from operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $401,689 (22%), with the most significant decreases being in stock compensation expense (approximately $118,000), payroll (approximately $158,000), internet advertising expense (approximately $43,000) , training expense (approximately $31,000), travel & meals (approximately $31,000). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in accounting fees of (approximately $31,000). Research and development expenses decreased by $81,780 (25%), primarily due to reductions in personnel.
As a result of the above, our net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was $677,249 as compared to $719,882 for the comparable 2007 related period, a decrease of $42,633 (6%).

We have incurred negative operating cash flows, operating losses, and negative working capital. We have relied upon sales of our common stock and borrowing in the form of bridge loans and convertible debentures to address our liquidity needs. To a lesser extent, we have also used bank financing.
We incurred a net loss of $677,249 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and have incurred significant net losses since inception. Management believes that over time revenues from franchising will allow us to become profitable, based upon management’s projections and budgets. We have implemented various programs to strengthen the performance of our franchises, including the launch of a kiosk marketing program that is designed to generate more sales leads for our franchise base. If successful, this program would result in more sales revenues for our franchises and thus more royalty income. This would also help us in selling more franchises. In addition, we have also implemented cost reduction measures to improve its operating results.
In the near-term, external sources of capital will be needed to implement marketing programs and augment working capital. For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we executed multiple promissory notes totaling $370,000 in favor of officers of the Company. If business operations do not result in increased revenues, our business viability, financial position, results from operations and cash flow will likely be adversely affected, and management may elect to raise additional money.
Some of the key components to our operating cash flows are the changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable. As we are essentially a product distributor, our level of activity is reflected in our accounts receivable and accounts payable. We receive invoices from vendors for product and simultaneously bill our franchisees. The Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 was 31 days and 29 days, respectively, as compared to 36 days at September 30, 2006.
As of June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $859,475, as compared to a deficiency of $366,059 at September 30, 2007. While our current assets decreased by $227,346 our current liabilities increased by $266,070. The most significant decrease in current assets was with respect to cash totaling $262,602 which was only partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of $115,611. The decrease in cash was primarily due to our operating loss.
The most significant increases in current liabilities were the result of an increase of $150,000 in our draw against a line of credit, and proceeds from $370,000 in notes payable to related parties, which were partially offset by decreases of $122,544 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $76,650 in unearned income.
Unearned income represents franchise fees received for which we are performing our initial obligations under the franchise agreement. Our primary obligation under the franchise agreement is providing training for two persons for each franchise. We reimburse the franchisee for travel expenses for one person (up to $500) and pay lodging expenses for one person to attend the training as part of the franchisee fee. At the training, the franchisee receives equipment (a laptop computer, portable printer and carrying case), software (both V2K’s proprietary software and non-proprietary software such as Microsoft Office and QuickBooks), manuals (training, as well as policy and procedure), and an electronic marketing kit. Samples of fabric and hard products and a starter set of printed materials (business cards, stationery and promotional materials) are shipped to the franchisee when training occurs. Accordingly, since we perform substantially all initial obligations required by the franchise agreement once training is completed, we recognize initial franchise fees as revenues at that time.
Note payable – other decreased to $54,774 from $109,211 at September 30, 2007. In October 2007, we entered into an agreement amending the deferred portion of monthly rent obligations at our previous location. We remitted payment of $51,583 to the landlord and entered into a new promissory note in the amount of $92,367, bearing interest at 8%, with twelve monthly payments of $8,035 commencing in February 2008.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2008, we used cash of $686,702 for operating activities, as compared to cash used by operating activities of $593,764 for the comparable period in 2007. The most significant factors in the increase were net changes of $122,544 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $76,650 in unearned income. Financing activities, principally the proceeds from notes to related parties of $370,000 and a draw of $150,000 against our line of credit, provided cash of $520,000 in 2008. In contrast, proceeds from the sale of common stock in a private placement provided cash of $371,606 in 2007.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). The purpose of this statement is to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining applicable accounting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval. We believe that the adoption of this standard on its effective date will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Forward-Looking Statements

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
An arbitration claim has been filed by a franchisee, who purchased a franchise in 2007 and are requesting rescission and damages in excess of $75,000, including the franchise fee of $59,900 and marketing costs of $15,000, alleging that at the time of the purchase of the franchise several zip codes were included in their territory that had been previously sold to another franchise.
