(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business. Generation Zero Group, Inc. (“Generation Zero” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 16, 2006. Since inception, the Company has operated as a start-up entity pursuing opportunities in oil and gas exploration and development with a geographic focus in Texas and Louisiana.
The Company has continued its prior business, but is also looking at new opportunities to broaden the focus to include Internet based businesses or other businesses that will attempt to increase the value of the Company’s common stock.
Basis of Presentation. The unaudited interim financial statements of Generation Zero and its wholly owned subsidiary, South Marsh LLC, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Generation Zero’s Form 10K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2009 as reported in the Form10K, have been omitted.
Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and expenses in the statement of expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. Generation Zero does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on Generation Zero’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Generation Zero incurred a net loss of $23,246 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and has an accumulated deficit of $465,213 as of March 31, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Generation Zero’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common and preferred stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Generation Zero is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Generation Zero borrows from shareholders and Directors periodically. The borrowings are non-interest bearing and due on demand with either ninety days or twelve months and one day’s notice. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was an outstanding balance of $11,783 and $5,000, respectively, due the shareholders and Directors.
Generation Zero borrowed $8,000 from a shareholder in June 2007. The note is due on demand with twelve months and one day’s notice and bears interest at 6% per annum. The loan was originally convertible into common shares at $0.10 per share. During 2007, the accrued interest of $264 was converted to debt and at December 31, 2008, the then outstanding balance on the note was $12,764. Generation Zero evaluated the original loan for derivative accounting consideration under FASB ASC 815-15 and FASB ASC 815-40. Generation Zero determined the embedded conversion option in the original convertible note met the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity under FASB ASC 815-15 and FASB ASC 815-40. Therefore, derivative accounting was not applicable for the note. Generation Zero then evaluated the original conversion option und er FASB ASC 470-20 for a beneficial conversion feature and determined none existed.
During August 2009, Generation Zero amended the conversion option of the above note whereby the conversion rate was changed from $0.10 to $0.001 per share. Generation Zero evaluated the modification under FASB ASC 470-50 and determined the modification to be substantial and thus qualify as an extinguishment of debt. Generation Zero evaluated the modified loan for derivative accounting consideration under FASB ASC 815-15 and FASB ASC 815-40. Generation Zero determined the embedded conversion option in the modified convertible note met the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity under FASB ASC 815-15 and FASB ASC 815-40. Therefore, derivative accounting was not applicable for the note. Generation Zero then evaluated the modified conversion option under FASB ASC 470-20 for a beneficial conversion feature and determined the conversion option contained a beneficial conversion feature.
Generation Zero calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the modified note and recorded a discount on the debt of $12,764. The discount is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate method. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, an aggregate of $2,942 of amortization was recorded on the debt discount.
During August 2009, the holder of the modified note above elected to convert $1,000 of the loan to common stock. Generation Zero issued the note holder 10,000 common shares. Generation Zero recorded amortization of $1,000 on the discount related to the portion of the note converted.
In November 2009, the holder sold this promissory note to an unrelated party. As of March 31, 2010, the unpaid balance on the loan totaled $11,764 and is classified on the balance sheet as “Notes payable.”
On February 12, 2010, Generation Zero implemented a 1 for 100 reverse stock split of the common stock. Pursuant to the reverse split, each 100 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date was converted into 1 share of common stock. All share and per share data herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse split.
NOTE 5 – PREFERRED STOCK
Series A Preferred Stock
Generation Zero has authorized 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which has a par value of $0.001 per share. Each share has no dividend rights, no liquidation preference, and no conversion or redemption rights. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have the right, voting in aggregate, to vote on all shareholder matters equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote. As of March 31, 2010, there were 1,000 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Series B Preferred Stock
Generation Zero has authorized 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock which has a par value of $2.50 per share. Each share has no dividend rights, no liquidation preference, no voting rights, and no conversion or redemption rights. As of March 31, 2010, there were no shares of Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding.
NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 9, 2010, Generation Zero borrowed a total of $3,000 from a related party. The note bears zero interest and is due on demand with 90 days notice.
During April 2010, Generation Zero entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Find.com Acquisition, Inc. to acquire all of Find.com Acquisition’s interest in and ownership of the technology assets that power the operations of the www.Find.com website and all associated intellectual property rights necessary to enable Generation Zero to register the technology and intellectual property in Generation Zero’s name. The purchase also included all service contracts related to the operations of the technology relating to www.Find.com, and other related domain names. The purchase did not include any liabilities of Find.com Acquisition or the Find.com URL. The purchase price paid to Find.com Acquisition in consideration for the Find.com Assets was 10,000,000 shares of Generation Zero’s restricted common s tock, representing 98.8% of the outstanding common stock of Generation Zero at the time of the purchase. Although these shares represent a majority of the common stock outstanding, Generation Zero’s sole Director and Officer holds super majority voting Series A preferred stock that retains voting control.
In April 2010, Generation Zero issued an aggregate 1,100,000 common shares for the conversion of $1,100 of convertible debt.

Corporate History
Generation Zero Group, Inc. (“we,” the “Company,” and “us”) was formed as a Nevada corporation on May 16, 2006 under the name Velocity Oil & Gas, Inc. The Company originally operated as a start-up entity with the intention of being involved in oil and gas exploration and development with a geographic focus in Texas and Louisiana.
On or around November 10, 2009, Travel Engine Solutions, LLC (“Travel Engine”) subscribed for 1,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”, which include super majority voting rights as described in greater detail below under “Description of Capital Stock”) for aggregate consideration of $175,000. A total of $50,000 of the funds for the Series A Shares was received immediately and pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, we agreed to issue Travel Engine one share of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such payment, which share (the “Series A Preferred Share”) was to be held in trust until such time as Travel Engine paid the remaining $125,000 due pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which the Company received in December 2009.

On or around January 21, 2010, Matthew Krieg, the then sole Director of the Company and Mr. Krieg as the Manager and beneficial owner of Travel Engine Solutions, LLC (“Travel Engine”), our majority shareholder (holding 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which in aggregate votes 51% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares on any shareholder votes) approved via a consent to action without meeting of the sole Director and majority shareholder of the Company, the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) to (a) authorize and approve a 1 for 100 reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s authorized and outstanding common stock, effective as of the close of business on February 12, 2010, which Stock Split did not affect the authorized or outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock; (b) to change the Company’s name to “Generation Zero Group, Inc.” (the “Name Change”); (c) to reauthorize 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value per share common stock following the Stock Split; (d) to re-authorize 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share following the Stock Split (collectively with (c) the “Authorized Share Transactions”); and (e) to prov ide that the Company elects, pursuant to Section 78.434 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), to not be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the NRS, inclusive and Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS (the “Elections”).
The Certificate, the Stock Split, the Name Change, the Authorized Share Transactions and the Elections were effective with the Secretary of State of Nevada on February 12, 2010, and were effective with the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on March 8, 2010.
Unless otherwise noted, the effect of the Stock Split and Name Change has been retroactively reflected throughout this report.
Operations
We are a development stage company with limited operations, which has not generated any revenues to date, and does not anticipate being able to generate revenues until we can raise substantial additional capital.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, South Marsh LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“South Marsh”) previously held oil and gas exploration assets, which have since expired or have been relinquished. The financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent collapse of the natural gas prices have made drilling in the Gulf of Mexico unattractive.
Because of the Company’s history in pursuing oil and gas exploration opportunities, the Company has been receptive to opportunities that may arise in that industry, but the Company has not aggressively looked for opportunities in the oil and gas industry, as financing was not readily available and no attractive opportunities have come to the Company’s attention. The Company has decided to pursue activities in Internet, technology and entertainment related businesses, and has closed on an acquisition of certain technologies and other proprietary information described below. The Company believes that this acquisition will allow it to generate revenues and income in the future, and will require a limited capital investment, as opposed to the oil and gas exploration industry, which requires signifi cant capital prior to generating any revenue in most cases.
We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt securities and loans from our shareholders.
In connection with our business plan, management will try and delay additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures. We will attempt to employ the recently acquired technology and other assets as quickly as possible, however, the profitability or success of these operations is currently unknown. Accordingly, it is likely the Company will need additional capital and revenues to meet both short-term and long-term operating requirements.
We have undertaken certain actions and continue to implement changes designed to improve our financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies. For example, we do not have a seasoned staff of public company officers beyond the extent of experience and abilities of our Chief Executive Officer.
Our financial statements contain information expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
MATERIAL EVENTS:
On June 1, 2007, we issued Capersia Pte. Ltd. (“Capersia”) an $8,000 Promissory Note to evidence an $8,000 loan we received from Capersia, which Promissory Note was amended in December 2007 (the “Note”). The Note had an effective date of June 13, 2007, and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum until paid in full. Capersia had the right at any time prior to the date such Note was repaid to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $10 per share. The Note is payable on demand; however, Capersia agreed to provide the Company at least one (1) year and one (1 ) day notice prior to the due date of such Note, and any amounts not paid when due accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum.
On or around November 7, 2008, the Promissory Note was amended to reflect an increased amount owed to the Company of $12,764.
On or around August 20, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Note, pursuant to which we agreed to amend the conversion price of the Note to $0.001 per share (which as described below was not affected by the reverse stock split), and to allow Capersia to convert $1,000 of the amount owed under the Note into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock which after the reverse split was reduced to 10,000 shares of our common stock.
On or around November 10, 2009, Capersia sold its entire interest in the Note to Cascata Equity Management, Inc. (50%) (“Cascata”) and Seven Palm Investments, LLC. (50%) (“Seven Palm”). As of the filing of this report, neither Cascata nor Seven Palm has provided us notice of their intention to demand repayment of the Note.
On or around April 13, 2010, Cascata and Seven Palm entered into acknowledgments with the Company, whereby the Company acknowledged that the conversion price of the Note was not affected by the Company’s 1:100 reverse stock split and remained at $0.001 per share, and each holder agreed that they will not be able to convert the Note into a number of common shares that would result in them owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and that neither holder would transfer or sell the Note to any third parties without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
In May 2010, an aggregate of $550 of the Note (described above) was converted each by Cascata and Seven Palm ($1,100 total), and Cascata and Seven Palm were each issued an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock in connection with such conversions.
If the remaining approximately $10,664 of principal was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, such Promissory Note would convert into 10,664,000 shares of common stock, however, as described above, both Seven Palm and Cascata have agreed that neither of them will ever convert an amount of the Note such that after such conversion either party would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock, so converting the Note can never be used to effect a change of control by Cascata or Seven Palm.
On or around April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Find.com Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Find.com Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we purchased all of Find.com Acquisition’s interest in and ownership of the assets associated with the technology and operations of the www.Find.com website and all intellectual property rights associated therewith, including technical documentation, source code, and files (collectively the “Technology Assets”). The Technology Assets also include all service con tracts related to the operations of the technology and certain unrelated domain names. The purchase did not include any liabilities of Find.com Acquisition or the Find.com URL. The purchase price paid to Find.com Acquisition in consideration for the Technology Assets was 10,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock, representing 98.8% of our then outstanding common stock, however, because Matthew Krieg, our sole officer and Director holds all of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, he retained super majority voting control over the Company.
Description of the Technology Assets:
The Technology Assets described above are comprised primarily of the technology that powers the www.Find.com website. www.Find.com is a URL that the Company believes has tremendous attributes as a domain name for purposes of search engine maximization and marketing, and although the URL was not part of the purchase of the Technology Assets, which purchase is expected in the near future, the Company hopes to partner with the owners of the www.Find.com URL in the future, of which there can be no assurance. Find.com is currently committed to the Technology Assets and has no plans to, and has had no discussions to negatively impact the connection between Find.com and the Technology Assets. Four letter URL’s that spell an easy to understand word a re all privately owned or reserved. Short URL’s are preferable for marketing purposes as they are easier to remember and in the case of Find.com, the URL sends a clear message as to what the website is about so it should be easier to brand.
We believe that the Find.com URL name lends itself to being a search engine as people generally use search engines to “find” information. The Company understands that Google and other large players such as Bing and Ask.com are dominant in the search space. The Company has no intention or belief that it will overtake or even compete with these large players.
The Company intends to partner through a revenue sharing agreement with the owners of Find.com whose plan is to generate revenues through revenue sharing arrangements with other search engines and through lead generation agreements with various businesses and selling direct products and services. Find.com’s plan is dependent upon the Company’s Technology Assets. The Company expects to develop certain verticals within Find.com and other websites and create revenue sharing opportunities, subject to the parties finalizing a revenue sharing agreement, and Find.com agreeing to let us use their URL, of which there can be no assurance.
The Company’s strategy is to use and improve the Find.com technology acquired in the acquisition and work to maximize the revenues in partnership with the owner of the Find.com website through marketing and providing information, products and services that create revenue sharing opportunities for the Company. Previously, www.Find.com and the Technology Assets have not generated significant revenues, but we believe that the technology that has been developed has proven to work effectively. Through continued use, the Company hopes to build a revenue base from revenue sharing, licensing, and by using the Technology Assets in connection with other websites it hopes to acquire and market in the future, funding and opportunities permitting.
The Company is currently in negotiations in connection with several revenue sharing opportunities with Find.com and other URLs to hopefully generate license fee revenue, marketing and lead generation revenue sharing, and the development of certain verticals that the Company plans to market directly or through other websites such as Find.com in the future.
We believe that the Technology Assets have many proprietary qualities that make them effective for online marketing and that the Technology Assets are versatile so they can be used for other websites and related applications. Our Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Krieg has significant experience in online travel and other Internet based businesses and his experience and training should be beneficial to the Company and allow it to move forward with this new strategy without having to add employees before revenues are achieved.
The Company has developed a relationship with the owners of www.Find.com and is confident it will be able to negotiate favorable revenue sharing opportunities. The Company views Find.com as having significant revenue producing capability and that this potential will be more easily achieved by continued use of the Technology Assets, of which there can be no assurance.
Plan of Operation
Our goal is to expand or build our business through a variety of efforts surrounding the use of the Technology Assets to build revenue generating activities. We are considering ongoing offerings of securities under Private Placements, acquisitions, and joint ventures with other public and private companies and other activities to either build sales or generate much needed capital to grow and undertake our business plan (for example, obtain, if possible, loans).
Existing working capital, further loan advances and possible debt instruments, further private placements, monetization of existing assets and anticipated cash flow are being considered. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt securities and loans from our shareholders.
In connection with our business plan, management will try and delay additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures. We will need to raise additional capital and revenues to meet both short term and long-term operating requirements.
We have undertaken certain actions and continue to implement changes designed to improve our financial results and operating cash flows. The actions involve certain cost-saving initiatives and growing strategies. For example, we do not have a seasoned staff of public company officers beyond the extent of experience and abilities of our CEO; so, for example, we have not engaged, thus avoided the expenses, of formal officers like a separate Chief Financial Officer. Our financial statements contain information expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabi lities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
We did not generate any revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010, or for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
We had general and administrative expenses of $19,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to general and administrative expenses of $36,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $17,006 or 46.1% from the prior period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to a decrease in legal fees, accounting fees and wages.
We had $237 in depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with depreciation expense of $381 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
We had total operating expenses and a total operating loss of $20,128 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to total operating expenses and a total operating loss of $37,278 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease in total operating expenses and total operating loss of $17,150 or 46.0% from the prior period.
We had interest expense of $3,118 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to interest expense of $429 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase in interest expense of $2,689, which increase in interest expense was in connection with interest on the outstanding Note, described below, and which increase was due to the amortization of the debt discount as a result of the beneficial conversion feature during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
We had a net loss of $23,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of $37,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase in net loss of $14,461 or 38.4% from the prior period, which was mainly due to the $17,006 or 46.1% decrease in total operating expenses offset by the $2,689 increase in interest expense.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We had total assets of $3,155 as of March 31, 2010 consisting of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation of $3,108 and total current assets of $47, consisting of cash of $47.
We had total liabilities as of March 31, 2010 of $29,139, consisting of total current liabilities of $21,911; which included $8,649 of accounts payable, $1,479 of accrued liabilities and $11,783 of accounts payable to related party, which amount was owed to Matthew Krieg, the Company’s sole officer and Director in connection with certain loans made to the Company by Mr. Krieg, as described below; and non-current liabilities consisting of $7,228 of long-term note payable as described below, net of $4,536 of unamortized discount.
We had a working capital deficit of $21,864 and a total deficit accumulated during the development stage of $465,213 as of March 31, 2010.
We incurred a net loss of $23,246 for the year ended March 31, 2010, and had an accumulated deficit of $465,213 as of March 31, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common and preferred stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Generation Zero is unable to continue as a going concern.
On June 1, 2007, we issued Capersia an $8,000 Promissory Note to evidence an $8,000 loan we received from Capersia, which Promissory Note was amended in December 2007 (the “Note”). The Note had an effective date of June 13, 2007, and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum until paid in full. The Note is payable on demand; however, Capersia has agreed to provide the Company at least one (1) year and one (1) day notice prior to the due date of such Note, and any amounts not paid when due accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum. Capersia had the right at any time prior to the date such Note is repaid to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a con version price of $10 per share.
On or around November 7, 2008, the Promissory Note was amended to reflect an increased amount owed to the Company of $12,764.
On or around August 20, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Note, pursuant to which we agreed to amend the conversion price of the Note to $0.001 per share (which as described below was not affected by the reverse stock split), and to allow Capersia to convert $1,000 of the amount owed under the Note into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock which after the reverse split was reduced to 10,000 shares of our common stock.
On or around November 10, 2009, Capersia sold its entire interest in the Note to Cascata Equity Management, Inc. (50%) (“Cascata”) and Seven Palm Investments, LLC. (50%) (“Seven Palm”). As of the filing of this report, neither Cascata nor Seven Palm has provided us notice of their intention to demand repayment of the Note.
On or around April 13, 2010, Cascata and Seven Palm entered into acknowledgments with the Company, whereby the Company acknowledged that the conversion price of the Note was not affected by the Company’s 1:100 reverse stock split and remained at $0.001 per share, and each holder agreed that they will not be able to convert the Note into a number of common shares that would result in them owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company and that neither holder would transfer or sell the Note to any third parties without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
In May 2010, an aggregate of $550 of the Note (described above) was converted each by Cascata and Seven Palm ($1,100 total), and Cascata and Seven Palm were each issued an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock (1,100,000 shares in total) in connection with such conversions.
If the remaining approximately $10,664 of principal was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, such Promissory Note would convert into 10,664,000 shares of common stock, however, as described above, both Seven Palm and Cascata have agreed that neither of them will ever convert an amount of the Note such that after such conversion either party would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock, so converting the Note can never be used to effect a change of control by Cascata or Seven Palm.
The modified note contains a beneficial conversion feature. We calculated the intrinsic value of the conversion feature of the modified note and recorded a discount on the debt of $12,764. The discount is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest rate method. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, an aggregate of $2,942 of amortization was recorded on the debt discount.
In December 2009, the Company borrowed $5,000 from its sole officer and Director, Matthew Krieg. Between February and March 2010, the Company borrowed a total of $6,720 from Mr. Krieg. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $3,000 from Mr. Krieg. The amount loaned bears zero interest and is due on demand with 90 days notice.
We had $8,713 of net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which mainly included a net loss of $23,246 offset by $8,459 of accounts payable, $2,942 of amortization of debt instrument, and a decrease of $2,718 of prepaid expenses and other liabilities.
We had $6,783 of net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which was due to $6,783 advanced by our current sole officer and Director, Matthew Krieg as of March 31, 2010.
On or around November 10, 2009, Travel Engine Solutions, LLC (“Travel Engine”) subscribed for 1,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”, which include super majority voting rights as described in greater detail below under “Description of Capital Stock”) for aggregate consideration of $175,000. A total of $50,000 of the funds for the Series A Shares was received immediately and pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, we agreed to issue Travel Engine one share of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such payment, which share (the “Series A Preferred Share”) was to be held in trust until such time as Travel Engine paid the remaining $125,000 due pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which the Company received in December 2009. All of the funds raised in connection with the sale of the Series A Shares was used to repay related party liabilities (which related parties are no longer related to the Company) and outstanding debts of the Company, and as such the Company did not use any of such funds for working capital purposes.
We do not currently have any formal commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officer, director or majority shareholders. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to raise the capital necessary to continue our business operations, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan and/or suspend our exploration activities.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, selling assets, if any, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, investment values, income taxes, the recapitalization and contingencies. We base our estimates on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabi lities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance relating to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” at FASB ASC 105, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The codification is effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The adoption of FASB ASC 105 did not impact Generation Zero’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer, also acting as our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period s specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officers also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including our chief executive officer/chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company’s securities are highly speculative and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
The Company's business is subject to the following Risk Factors (references to "our," "we," "Generation Zero" and words of similar meaning in these Risk Factors refer to the Company):
Risks Relating To Our Planned Business Operations
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO CONTINUE OUR BUSINESS PLAN, WHICH FINANCING, IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE MAY FORCE US TO SCALE BACK OR ABANDON OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
We anticipate the need for approximately $75,000 of additional funding moving forward to support our operations for approximately the next 12 months. Moving forward, we anticipate Matthew Krieg, our officer and Director and the Company’s largest shareholder, will continue funding us, although he has made no such commitments. We also hope to raise additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity to enable us to implement our corporate plan.
We do not currently have any commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors or majority shareholders. If we are not able to raise the capital necessary to continue our business operations we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan and/or suspend our business activities.
SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH OUR EFFORTS TO OBTAIN FINANCING, SATISFY OBLIGATIONS AND/OR COMPLETE ACQUISITIONS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR OTHER SECURITIES.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or other securities. Additionally, moving forward, we may attempt to conduct acquisitions of other entities or assets using our common stock or other securities as payment for such acquisitions. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock with various preferences and other rights. These actions may result in substantial dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, and dilute the book value of the Company’s common stock.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL.
We had a working capital deficit of $21,864 and a total accumulated deficit of $465,213 as of March 31, 2010, and as such we will need to raise substantial additional capital to continue our business operations. Moving forward, we may be forced to raise such funds on unfavorable terms, if at all. Our failure to raise additional capital could diminish the value of our securities and/or cause them to become worthless.
WE ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVELY PURSUING AN ACQUISITION AND/OR MERGER OPPORTUNITY AND MAY CHOOSE TO ENTER INTO A MERGER AND/OR ACQUISITION TRANSACTION IN THE FUTURE.
We have been actively looking for acquisition or merger opportunities that will enhance our value and growth prospects. Therefore, in the future, we may enter into a merger and/or acquisition with a separate company in the future, our majority shareholders may change and new shares of common or preferred stock could be issued resulting in substantial dilution to our then current shareholders. As a result, if there were new majority shareholders, they will likely change the composition of our Board of Directors and replace our current management. The new management will likely change our business focus and we can make no assurances that our new management will be able to properly manage our direction or that this change in our business focus will be successful. If we do enter into a merger or acquisition, and our new manage ment fails to properly manage and direct our operations, we may be forced to scale back or abandon our operations, which will cause the value of our common stock to decline or become worthless. We have not entered into any merger or acquisition agreements as of the date of this filing.
Risks Relating to the Company’s Acquisition of the Technology Assets
The acquisition of the Technology Assets (as described above) only occurred in April 2010, and the results of operations associated with such assets and value of such assets are not currently included on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. The description of the risks set forth below include some of the risks which the Technology Assets will be subject to.
THE TECHNOLOGY ASSETS HAVE NOT PRODUCED SIGNIFICANT REVENUE TO DATE.
Currently, the Technology Assets do not have a history of producing revenue in connection with Find.com or any other website and although the Company is optimistic about the potential, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its endeavors to license or produce revenue sharing opportunities with the technology. As such, we may never generate significant revenue and our securities may decline in value or become worthless.
WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION FROM MICROSOFT, YAHOO, GOOGLE AND OTHER INTERNET SEARCH PROVIDERS.
Although the Company does not intend to utilize the Technology Assets in a manner to compete with established search engine websites, the Company acknowledges that we face competition in every aspect of our business, and particularly from other companies that seek to connect people with information through providing relevant search results. The main competitors in the search engine space include, but are not limited to Microsoft Corporation, Yahoo! Inc. and Google, Inc. All of those companies have more employees, more resources, better brand recognition, and longer operating histories than we do. Although it is not the Company’s intent to operate websites that compete with these established brands, we may be unable to compete with these and other websites in the efforts to draw Internet traffic to the websites the Company plans to power through the use of the Technology Assets in the future, which could force us to curtail our business plan or operations, which would ultimately cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become worthless.
NEW TECHNOLOGIES COULD BLOCK THE MANNER IN WHICH THE TECHNOLOGY ASSETS WORK, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.
Technologies may be developed that can interfere with the manner or design of the Technology Assets in terms of search engine optimization or other attributes. If the Company does not have the resources both financial and technical to revise and upgrade the Technology Assets it would adversely affect our operating results and ability to generate future revenues.
OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE VALUABLE, AND ANY INABILITY TO PROTECT THEM COULD REDUCE THE VALUE OF OUR PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND BRAND.
Our intellectual property rights are important assets for us, however we do not currently have any patents, trademarks or other registrations on the Technology Assets. The efforts we have taken and/or may take in the future to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.
While we may seek to obtain patent protection for our innovations in the future, it is possible we may not be able to protect some of these innovations. In addition, given the costs of obtaining patent protection, we may choose not to protect certain innovations that later turn out to be important. Furthermore, there is always the possibility, despite our efforts, that the scope of the protection gained will be insufficient or that an issued patent may be deemed invalid or unenforceable.
We also seek to maintain certain intellectual property as trade secrets. The secrecy could be compromised by third parties, or intentionally or accidentally by our employees, which would cause us to lose the competitive advantage resulting from these trade secrets.
WE ARE, AND MAY IN THE FUTURE BE, SUBJECT TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS CLAIMS, WHICH ARE COSTLY TO DEFEND, COULD REQUIRE US TO PAY DAMAGES AND COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO USE CERTAIN TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FUTURE.
Companies in the Internet, technology and media industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. An adverse determination also could prevent us from offering our services to others.
With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to pay damages or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating expenses. The technology also may not be available for license to us at all. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop technology for the infringing aspects of our business, we may be forced to limit our product and service offerings and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results could harm our brand and operating results.
PRIVACY CONCERNS RELATING TO ELEMENTS OF OUR TECHNOLOGY COULD DAMAGE OUR REPUTATION AND DETER CURRENT AND POTENTIAL USERS FROM USING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
From time to time, concerns may be expressed about whether our Technology Assets compromise the privacy of users and others. Concerns about our collection, use or sharing of personal information or other privacy-related matters, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and operating results.
MORE INDIVIDUALS ARE USING NON-PC DEVICES TO ACCESS THE INTERNET, AND OUR TECHNOLOGY MAY NOT BE WIDELY ADOPTED BY USERS OF THESE DEVICES.
The number of people who access the Internet through devices other than personal computers, including mobile telephones, hand-held calendaring and email assistants, and television set-top devices, has increased dramatically in the past few years. The lower resolution, functionality and memory associated with alternative devices make the use of the Technology Assets through such devices difficult. If the Technology Assets do not perform well for these non-PC devices and a suitable enhancement to the Technology Assets is not made, we may greatly limit the marketability of the Technology Assets to this increasingly important non-PC device portion of the market for online services.
WE MAY RELY ON INSURANCE IN THE FUTURE TO MITIGATE SOME RISKS AND, TO THE EXTENT THE COST OF INSURANCE INCREASES OR WE ARE UNABLE OR CHOOSE NOT TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT INSURANCE TO MITIGATE THE RISKS FACING OUR BUSINESS, OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE DIMINISHED.
We currently plan to contract for insurance to cover certain potential risks and liabilities. In the current environment, insurance companies are increasingly specific about what they will and will not insure. It is possible that we may not be able to get enough insurance to meet our needs, may have to pay very high prices for the coverage we do get or may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk. In addition, we may choose not to obtain insurance for certain risks facing our business. This could leave us exposed to potential claims. If we were found liable for a significant claim in the future, our operating results could be negatively impacted. Also, to the extent the cost of maintaining insurance increases, our operating results will be negatively affected.
WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE IN OUR RAPIDLY EVOLVING INDUSTRY.
Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt our services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance and reliability of our services. Our failure to adapt to such changes would harm our business. New technologies and advertising media could adversely affect us. In addition, the widespread adoption of new Internet, networking or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our Technology Assets for these changing demands.
Risks Relating to Our Possible Oil and Gas Operations
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT WE WILL NOT FIND ANY COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE OIL OR GAS AND THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for commercial quantities of oil as a business is extremely risky. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain properties in the future and/or that any properties we obtain will contain commercially exploitable quantities of oil and/or gas, in the event we continue our oil and gas exploration activities. Future exploration expenditures made by us, if any, may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of oil and/or gas in any future properties we may acquire the rights to, and problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions involved in oil and gas exploration often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If we are unable to find commercially exploitable quantities of oil and gas, in any properties we may acquire in the future, and/or we are unable to commercially extract such quantities we may find in any properties we may acquire in the future, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan, and as a result, any investment in us may become worthless.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH COULD FORCE US TO EXPEND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY IN CONNECTION WITH LITIGATION AND/OR A SETTLEMENT.
The oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating hazards and risks such as well blowouts, pipe failures, casing collapse, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and risks. These hazards and risks could result in substantial losses to us from, among other things, injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, we may be liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property purchased and leased by us in the future. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be i ncurred, the payment of which could reduce or eliminate the funds available for the purchase of properties and/or property interests, exploration, development or acquisitions or result in the loss of our properties and/or force us to expend substantial monies in connection with litigation or settlements. As such, there can be no assurance that any insurance obtained by us in the future will be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities. We cannot predict the availability of insurance or the availability of insurance at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operations. We may elect to self-insure if management believes that the cost of insurance, although available, is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, which could lead to any investment in us becoming worthless.
WE REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO PURCHASE PROPERTIES AND BEGIN OUR EXPLORATION AND DRILLING ACTIVITIES, WHICH FINANCING IS OFTEN HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON THE CURRENT MARKET PRICE FOR OIL AND GAS, WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO PREDICT.
Our growth and continued operations could be impaired by limitations on our access to capital markets. If the market for oil and/or gas were to weaken for an extended period of time, our ability to raise capital would be substantially reduced. There can be no assurance that capital from outside sources will be available, or that if such financing is available, that it will not involve issuing securities senior to the common stock or equity financings which will be dilutive to holders of common stock. Such issuances, if made, would likely cause a decrease in the value of our common stock.
THE PRICE OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN VOLATILE AND IF IT WERE TO DECREASE SUBSTANTIALLY, OUR PROJECTIONS, BUDGETS, AND REVENUES, IF ANY, WOULD BE ADVERSELY EFFECTED.
Our future financial condition, results of operations, if any, and the carrying value of our future oil and natural gas properties, if any, depend primarily upon the prices we will receive for our oil and natural gas production, if any, in the future. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and likely will continue to be volatile in the future, especially given current world geopolitical conditions. Our cash flows from operations will be highly dependent on the prices that we receive for any oil and natural gas we may produce in the future.
This price volatility also affects the amount of our cash flows available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:
· | the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas; |
| |
· | the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas; |
| |
· | the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls; |
| |
· | the price of foreign oil and natural gas; |
| |
· | domestic governmental regulations and taxes; |
| |
· | the price and availability of alternative fuel sources; |
| |
· | weather conditions; |
| |
· | market uncertainty due to political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East; and |
| |
· | worldwide economic conditions. |
These factors as well as the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not only reduce our revenue due to the sale of oil and gas, if any, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically, if any, and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, oil and natural gas reserves and the carrying values of our future oil and natural gas properties, if any. If the oil and natural gas industry experiences significant price declines, we may be unable to make expenditures, among other things. If this were to happen, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business operations, which would cause the value of a n investment in us to decline in value, or become worthless.
Risks Relating To The Company's Securities
WE RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO A CEASE TRADE ORDER IN BRITISH COLUMBIA AND FACES RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH ORDER.
In April 2010, we became aware of the fact that the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) issued a Cease Trade Order (the “Order”) against the Company’s securities under the British Columbia Securities Act in January 2009, which required that all trading of the Company’s securities in British Columbia, Canada, be ceased, for alleged failures by us and a former officer to comply with British Columbia’s reporting and filing obligations. The Company’s current officer and Director, Matthew Krieg, did not become aware of the January 2009 order until April 2010, and is currently taking steps to determine the Company’s obligations and next step s in order to remove the Order. The actions taken by the BCSC are based on the Company’s nexus or connections to British Columbia. We have had discussions with the BCSC to determine the requirements of the Company with respect to the Order since the current management and controlling ownership: (i) currently has and never had any connections or nexus of any kind to British Columbia; and (ii) first became aware of the Order or any matters involving the BCSC in April 2010. Additionally, it appears based on the Company’s preliminary analysis that the prior management and ownership may have severed its connections to British Columbia, and that the Order may therefore not apply to the Company’s relevant activities. The Company is preparing certain information for submission to the BCSC in an effort to bring all matters related to the BCSC to a close. The consequences of violating an order similar to the Order range from inconsequential to ex treme and punitive. The Company’s good faith belief is that the effect of the Order will be minimal other than that resources will be expended in order to correspond and comply with any final BCSC requirements such as making duplicate filings of the Company’s public filings with the BCSC in addition to those previously filed with the SEC. The Company will object to and vigorously oppose any consequences that the BCSC attempts to impose that the Company views as prohibitive and excessive based on the items set forth above. Although the Company believes the matters with the BCSC will be resolved in a favorable manner, the fact that the BCSC has issued the Order or any resolution arising out of the Order, may cause us to expend significant resources in connection with resolutions of the Order and/or may have a negative effect on our securities which may cause them to decline in value or become worthless as a result thereof.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SPORADIC, ILLIQUID, VOLATILE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, AND THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY REMAIN SPORADIC, ILLIQUID, AND VOLATILE IN THE FUTURE.
On May 15, 2008, we obtained quotation for our common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol VOIG.OB, and on March 8, 2010, our symbol changed to “GNZR” in connection with our name change to Generation Group Zero, Inc. Since this time, there has been a limited market for our common stock on the OTCBB that has been volatile, illiquid and sporadic and is subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:
(1) | actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations; |
| |
(2) | our ability or inability to generate new revenues; |
| |
(3) | increased competition; |
| |
(4) | conditions and trends in the Internet, technology or entertainment industries; |
| |
(5) | the market for Internet based technologies and web search engines; |
| |
(6) | the fact that our 1:100 reverse split of our common stock reduced the number of shares in our float, which may limit trading and liquidity until more shares become available , if ever; and |
| |
(7) | future acquisitions we may make. |
Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
WE HAVE AN OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE, WHICH ALLOWS THE HOLDERS THEREOF TO CONVERT THE AMOUNT OF SUCH NOTE INTO A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
On June 1, 2007, we issued Capersia Pte. Ltd. (“Capersia”) an $8,000 Promissory Note to evidence an $8,000 loan we received from Capersia, which Promissory Note was amended in December 2007 (the “Note”). The Note had an effective date of June 13, 2007, and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum until paid in full. The Note is payable on demand; however, Capersia has agreed to provide the Company at least one (1) year and one (1) day notice prior to the due date of such Note, and any amounts not paid when due accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum. On or around November 7, 2008, the Promissory Note was amended to reflect an increased amount owed to the Company of $12,764. On or around August 20, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Note, pursuant to which we agreed to amend the conversion price of the Note to $0.001 per share (which was not affected by the 1:100 reverse stock split), and to allow Capersia to convert $1,000 of the amount owed under the Note into 1,000,000 shares on a pre-split basis, which after the reverse split equated to 10,000 shares of our common stock. On or around November 10, 2009, Capersia sold its entire interest in the Note (as described below) to Cascata Equity Management, Inc. (50%) (“Cascata”) and Seven Palm Investments, LLC. (50%) (“Seven Palm”). As of the filing of this report, neither Cascata nor Seven Palm has provided us notice of their intention to demand repayment of the Note.. In May 2010 an aggregate of $550 of the Note was converted each by C ascata and Seven Palm ($1,100 total), and Cascata and Seven Palm were each issued an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock in connection with such conversions. If the remaining approximately $10,664 of principal was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, such Promissory Note would convert into 10,664,000 shares of common stock, however, each of Seven Palms and Cascata has agreed not to convert their respective interests in the Note into a number of common shares that would result in them owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.
OUR AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED A CONCERN ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Our auditors, in our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, expressed a concern about our ability to continue as a going concern. We had a working capital deficit of $21,864 and had an accumulated deficit of $465,213 as of March 31, 2010. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $23,246 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $154,983, and we have not generated any revenues to date. These factors raise substantial doubt as to whether we will be able to continue as a going concern. The attached financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
NEVADA LAW AND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZE US TO ISSUE SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK, WHICH SHARES MAY HAVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES GREATER THAN OUR CURRENTLY OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK.
Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, we have 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, including 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated and 2,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated. As of May 17, 2010, we had 11,226,218 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 1,000 share of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued would cause substantial dilution to our then shareholders. Additionally, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our Board of Directors without shareholder approval with voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and po wers as determined by our Board of Directors. We currently have shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated, which shares provide the holder thereof the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total vote on such matters. Because the Board of Directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of the Company's shareholders, shareholders of the Company will have no control over what designations and preferences the Company's preferred stock will have. The holder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, currently Travel Engine, as described below, will exercise voting control over the Company. As a result of this, the Company's shareholders will have no control over the designations and preferences of the preferred stock and as a result the operations of the Company and the issuance of shares of common stock and/or preferred stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease and/or become worthless.
MATTHEW KRIEG, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, THROUGH TRAVEL ENGINE SOLUTIONS, LLC, BENEFICIALLY OWNS OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK AND THEREFORE EXERCISES MAJORITY CONTROL OVER CORPORATE DECISIONS INCLUDING THE APPOINTMENT OF NEW DIRECTORS.
On or around November 10, 2009, Travel Engine Solutions, LLC, which is beneficially owned by Matt Krieg (“Travel Engine”) subscribed for 1,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”) for aggregate consideration of $175,000. The Series A Shares provide the holder thereof super majority voting rights, allowing the holder thereof to vote 51% of the vote on any shareholder matters. Accordingly, Travel Engine will exercise control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Any investors who purchase shares will be minority shareholders and as such will have little to no say in the direction of the Company and the election of Directors. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove our current officers and Directors, or any other Director that Travel Engine may appoint. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of the Company's common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.
IF WE ARE LATE IN FILING OUR QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL REPORTS WITH THE SEC, WE MAY BE DE-LISTED FROM THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD.
Pursuant to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") rules relating to the timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC, any OTCBB issuer which fails to file a periodic report (Form 10-Q's or 10-K's) by the due date of such report (not withstanding any extension granted to the issuer by the filing of a Form 12b-25), three (3) times during any twenty-four (24) month period is automatically de-listed from the OTCBB. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible to be listed on the OTCBB for a period of one-year, during which time any subsequent late filing would reset the one-year period of de-listing. If we are late in our filings three times in any twenty-four (24) month period and are de-listed from the OTCBB, our securities may become worthless and we may be forced to cu rtail or abandon our business plan.
INVESTORS MAY FACE SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS ON THE RESALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS OF PENNY STOCKS.
Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15(g)9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.
IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF OPERATING AS A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES OXLEY ACT, AND OUR MANAGEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVOTE SUBSTANTIAL TIME TO NEW COMPLIANCE INITIATIVES.
Moving forward, we anticipate incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with our status as a fully reporting public company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial re porting and disclosure of controls and procedures. In particular, commencing in calendar 2009 (one year after we began publicly reporting), we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and in fiscal 2010, to allow our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staf f with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.
STATE SECURITIES LAWS MAY LIMIT SECONDARY TRADING, WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE STATES IN WHICH AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH YOU CAN SELL SHARES.
Secondary trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On or around April 28, 2010, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Find.com Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Find.com Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we purchased all of Find.com Acquisition’s interest in and ownership of the technology assets associated with the operations of the www.Find.com website and all intellectual property rights associated with said technology, including technical documentation, source code, and files (collectively the “Technology Assets”). The Technology Assets also inclu ded all service contracts related to the technology and certain other unrelated domain names. The purchase did not include any liabilities of Find.com Acquisition or the rights to the Find.com URL. The purchase price paid to Find.com Acquisition in consideration for the Find.com Assets was 10,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock, representing 98.8% of our then outstanding common stock, however, because Matthew Krieg, our sole officer and Director holds all of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, he retained super majority voting control over the Company.
In May 2010, an aggregate of $550 of the Note (described above) was converted each by Cascata and Seven Palm ($1,100 total), and Cascata and Seven Palm were each issued an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock in connection with such conversions.
We claim an exemption from registration offered by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients took the shares for investment and not resale and we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. (REMOVED AND RESERVED)
None.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
In April 2010, we became aware of the fact that the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a Cease Trade Order (the “Order”) against the Company’s securities under the British Columbia Securities Act in January 2009, which required that all trading of the Company’s securities in British Columbia, Canada, be ceased, for alleged failures by us and our then officer and Director, Frank Jacobs to comply with British Columbia’s reporting and filing obligations. The Company’s current officer and Director, Matthew Krieg, did not become aware of the January 2009 order until April 2010, and is currently taking steps to determine the Company’s obligations and next steps in order to remove the Order. For additiona l risks regarding the Order, please see the risk factor entitled “We Recently Became Aware Of The Fact That The Company Is Subject To A Cease Trade Order In British Columbia And Face Risks Associated With Such Order“, above.
