NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Background
Card Activation Technologies, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 29, 2006. The Company was incorporated in order to own and commercially develop our patented point-of-sale technology for the activation and processing of transactions related to debit styled cards, which include gift cards, phone cards and other stored value cards. We also vigorously defend our patent and actively litigate infringements related to the unauthorized use of our technology. The patent was transferred to us by MedCom USA, Incorporated (“MedCom”) upon our formation in exchange for 146,770,504 shares of our common stock. The patent covers the technology and process for taking a card with a magnetic strip or oth er data capture mechanism and activating the card by downloading a determined monetary value onto the card for use at a later date for different types of transactions.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. During the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized net loss of $117,260. However, the Company incurred an accumulated net loss from the period August 29, 2006 (inception) through March 31, 2010 of $597,611. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations and is dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of certain stockholders.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard, our management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of our common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
The accompanying condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, in accordance with the accounting policies described in our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, as presented in our annual report on Form 10-K, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying condensed financia l statements include all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature), which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year.
These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the 2009 audited financial statements presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, filed with the SEC. Our reports are available electronically by visiting the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.
Recent Accounting Guidance
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serv e to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of GAAP to be applied to nongovernmental agencies. ASC 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements presented hereby.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). The pronouncement modifies the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event—those events or transactions that occur following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued—and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 on September 30, 2009, in accordance with the effective date.
On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to fair value disclosures of financial instruments. These changes require a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2010, the Company was managed by its sole officer and director, Robert Kite. Michael De La Garza previously served as a director of the Company and as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. On April 27, 2009, holders of more than a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, acting by written consent, effected the removal of Mr. De La Garza from the Company’s Board of Directors. Following Mr. De La Garza’s removal as a director by stockholders, Mr. Kite, the Company’s sole director, acted to remove Mr. De La Garza from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kite now serves as sole director and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and acts as the Company’s principal execut ive and principal financial officer. Mr. Kite also serves as chairman of the board of directors, president and chief executive officer of MedCom, a related party, and owns shares of common stock of both MedCom and the Company. MedCom is also a significant shareholder of the Company.
On June 4, 2009, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. De La Garza, MedCom, certain shareholders of MedCom, Robin De La Garza, Mr. De La Garza’s spouse, PayMed USA, LLC, and Absolute Medical Software Systems, LLC (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement resolved pending Arizona state court litigation against Mr. De La Garza, in which the Company’s largest shareholder, MedCom, sought, among other things, injunctive and declaratory relief that Mr. De La Garza was not authorized to act on behalf of MedCom as an officer or director. The Settlement Agreement became final and effective on August 11, 2009.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. De La Garza affirmed in writing that he holds no position with the Company, whether as an officer, a director or otherwise, and he resigned from any such position to the extent he could be said to hold any such position, which resolved any potential disputes relating to his removal from such offices in April 2009, as discussed above. In addition, Mr. De La Garza agreed to return shares of the Company held by him; however, such shares had not been returned as of March 31, 2010.
The Company advances funds to MedCom at a 7% interest rate per annum. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a receivable from affiliate advances in the amount of $1,282,620 and $695,587, respectively.
Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company enters into contingency agreements with law firms that represent the Company in certain of its patent litigations. Under these agreements, the Company typically pays a law firm thirty five percent of the settlement amounts received by the Company and amounts based on future patent litigation successes.
On February 26, 2010, the Company and MedCom entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement") and Mutual Release with William Williams (a former executive of the Company and MedCom), Eva Williams, Wilcom Inc., W.P.W. Aircraft, LLC, Williams Family Trust, and American Nortel Communications, Inc. (collectively, the "Williams Group"). The Agreement settled and provided a mutual release of each member of the Williams Group, on the one hand, and the Company and MedCom, on the other hand, from any and all claims that any member of the Williams Group and the Company or MedCom has against the other relating to certain litigation that was filed or corporate governance claims that may arise from the Company or MedCom. As a condition to the Agreement, the Williams Group will return an aggregate of 24,150,264 shares of common stock of the company and 20,415,651 shares of MedCom common stock.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
With the exception of historical facts, the matters discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, future actions, future performance generally, business development activities, future capital expenditures, strategies, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, future financial results, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and competition. When we use the words "believe," "intend," "expect," "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "plan," "predict," "project," or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe strategy that involves risks or uncertaintie s, we are making forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to protect our patented technology, our failure to satisfy our working capital needs from operations and the availability of and costs associated with potential sources of financing.
We warn you that forward-looking statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ as a result of risks that we face. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update them.
The following discussion contains management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Overview
We own and commercially develop our patented point-of-sale technology for the activation and processing of transactions related to debit styled cards, which include gift cards, phone cards and other stored value cards. Currently, our business strategy consists exclusively of attempting to enter into license agreements with third parties to license our rights under our patent and in pursuing patent litigation in an effort to protect our intellectual property and obtain recourse against alleged infringement of our patent.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Revenues decreased 100.0% to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $172,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues was due to no settlements of patent litigation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to three settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2009. There are currently seven lawsuits pending and over 600 parties have been notified that they are infringing on our patent.
Operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing costs.
Cost of revenue consists of contingency fees paid to legal counsel equal to 35% of settlement revenue. Certain of our settlements are not subject to contingency fees. Cost of revenue decreased 100.0% to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $7,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of no settlements during the period.
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits, legal, professional and consulting fees, corporate costs, facilities cost, insurance, travel and entertainment. General and administrative costs increased 31.8% to $224,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $170,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to increased legal fees, which was offset by decreased salaries and benefits for executives.
Sales and marketing costs decreased 100% to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $2,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of no marketing efforts.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2010, Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2009
Revenues decreased 54.3% to $250,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 from $547,500 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues was due to two settlements of patent litigation for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the amounts received for five settlements during the six months ended March 31, 2009. There are currently seven lawsuits pending and over 600 parties have been notified that they are infringing on our patent.
Operating expenses consist of cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing costs.
Cost of revenue consists of contingency fees paid to legal counsel of 35% of settlement revenue. Certain of our settlements are not subject to contingency fees. Cost of revenue decreased 37.1% to $87,500 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $139,125 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of certain settlement revenue not being subject to contingency fees.
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits, legal, professional and consulting fees, corporate costs, facilities cost, insurance, travel and entertainment. General and administrative costs decreased 38.2% to $322,180 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $521,230 for the six months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to decreased salaries and benefits, travel, meals and entertainment for executives, offset by increased legal fees.
Sales and marketing costs decreased 100% to zero for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $7,706 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of no marketing efforts.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are the sale of our common stock and cash generated from operations. We had no sales of our common stock and two settlements during the six months ended March 31, 2010. We expect our future operations will be funded from settlements and revenues from licensing our technology. However, we may need additional working capital. Efforts to seek additional funding could be made through equity, debt or other external financing. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding when needed we may not be able to execute our business plans and our business may suffer.
From time to time the Company advances funds to MedCom. As of March 31, 2010 we were owed $1,282,620 including interest from related parties.
At March 31, 2010, we had cash of $10,168 compared to $6,909 at September 30, 2009. The net change in cash for the periods presented was comprised of the following:
March 31, 2010 | March 31, 2009 | |||||||
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 213,829 | $ | (79,240 | ) | |||
Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities | (210,570 | ) | 99,140 |
Cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to net loss of $117,260 and an increase in other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2010. For the six months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $98,107 and paid down accounts payable by approximately $29,000.
Cash flow from financing activities was due to net loans to affiliates of approximately $210,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 compared to net loans from affiliates of approximately $1,400 and common stock sales of $102,500 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be auth oritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of GAAP to be applied to nongovernmental agencies. ASC 105 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. ASC 105 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements presented hereby.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”). The pronouncement modifies the definition of what qualifies as a subsequent event—those events or transactions that occur following the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued—and requires companies to disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for determining that date. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 on September 30, 2009, in accordance with the effective date.
On June 30, 2009, the Company adopted updates issued by the FASB to fair value disclosures of financial instruments. These changes require a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments. Such disclosures include the fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying amount of these financial instruments; and the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.
Other Considerations
There are numerous factors that affect the business and the results of its operations. Sources of these factors include general economic and business conditions, federal and state regulation of business activities, the level of demand for our product, and the ability to develop new products based on new or evolving technology and the market's acceptance of those products.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer, who also serves as our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective for ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. We are in the process of evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures in an effort to dev elop remedial measures to correct the deficiencies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended March 31, 2010) 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 the ordinary course of business, we are the subject of, or party to, various pending or threatened legal actions, including various counterclaims in connection with our intellectual property enforcement activities. Card Activation, through its attorneys, has sent letters to over 600 potential infringers of the patent, placing the infringers on notice of the patent and seeking remedies for such infringement. While we believe that any liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, we can make no assurances that we will not lose all or some of the claims covered by our patent as the result of such actions.
On February 26, 2010, the Company and MedCom entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement") and Mutual Release with William Williams (a former executive of the Company and MedCom), Eva Williams, Wilcom Inc., W.P.W. Aircraft, LLC, Williams Family Trust, and American Nortel Communications, Inc. (collectively, the "Williams Group"). The Agreement settled and provided a mutual release of each member of the Williams Group, on the one hand, and the Company and MedCom, on the other hand, from any and all claims that any member of the Williams Group and the Company or MedCom has against the other relating to certain litigation that was filed or corporate governance claims that may arise from the Company or MedCom. As a condition to the Agreement, the Williams Group will return an aggregate of 24,150,264 shares of common stock of the company and 20,415,651 shares of MedCom common stock.
