This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described in this report, our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 and other filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and the audited financials in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We are a development stage company with limited operations and no revenues from our business activities. Our registered independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our registered independent auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. We do not anticipate that we will generate significant revenues until we have completed the development of our software and marketing plan to generate customers. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than our operations in order to implement our marketing plan.
To meet our need for cash, we have raised money from the sale of shares which we registered through a public offering which became effective on November 21, 2007. In addition to the 1,600,000 shares of our common stock which we have sold to our Directors, we sold 925,000 shares of our common stock through this offering, which generated $46,500 in gross proceeds. We believe that this will allow us to begin our product development, market our website, and remain in business for twelve months. If we are unable to generate revenues after the twelve months for any reason, or if we are unable to make a reasonable profit after twelve months, we may have to suspend or cease operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. Because we raised less than the maximum amount and need additional funds, we may seek to obtain additional funds through a second public offering, private placement of securities, or loans.
Our specific goal is to develop our software product and to execute our marketing plan. First, we plan to develop and deploy a software product that allows the authentication of wireless users seeking to use the internet.
Our software product will be composed of two elements, a server-based software product that authorizes subscribers to access the internet and that performs automated billing, and a client-based software product that resides at a wireless access point to police (enable or deny) access based on instructions from the server.
After development of our authentication and billing software product, we plan to commence marketing of our wireless networking service on a subscription basis.
We will deploy a server side server in order to perform authentication and billing. Billing will be done exclusively through Paypal. In addition, we will use Paypal to compensate partners and resellers. Our billing and payment system will be completely automated which will keep operational costs to a minimum.
Our customers will gain access to the internet through a network of wireless access points that are deployed by our partners. These wireless access devices will be radius compliant as to be able to communicate with our server.
When a wireless user tries to access the internet through one of our partner’s wireless access devices, he will be forwarded to a web page that asks him to enter his user name and password, or, if he is not a customer, to subscribe to the service. If the wireless subscriber elects to subscribe to the service, the owner of the access point will receive a one-time fee for such subscription.
If the credential supplied by the user is correct, then the user will be allowed access to the internet. The number of times a customer accesses the network will be logged into our database and will be used to calculate our partners’ compensation.
We intend to offer yearly, monthly, and daily plans. The price of each of these plans will vary between countries since there are variations in the cost of delivering the service between countries as well as different income levels among the users and differences in the availability of competitive services. Our subscribers will be able to roam (i.e, connect to the internet) across our network.
We plan to develop and deploy the backend software that is necessary to manage customer access to the network. We will not deploy the wireless access devices, but will rely on our partners to do so. We intend to test a variety of wireless devices and will establish a list of supported devices. Our web site will be the venue where partners will access their account information, find information about the service, and sign up to be partners. We will maximize automation, thereby significantly decreasing operational costs.
Results of Operations
During the period from March 28, 2007 (date of inception) through October 31, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $44,291. This loss consisted primarily of incorporation costs, professional fees and administrative expenses. Since inception, we have sold 2,525,000 shares of common stock.
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We have leased web hosting space needed for hosting our website at a cost of $240 annually.
Revenues
We had no revenues for the period from March 28, 2007 (date of inception) through October 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of October 31, 2008, reflects assets of $12,614. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to operate to date.
We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we would have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other sources.

Going Concern Consideration
Our regsistered independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our accompanying financial statements as of and for the period ended July 31, 2008, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our interim financial statements as of and for the period ended October 31, 2008 contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our registered independent auditors.
Due to this doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, management is open to new business opportunities which may prove more profitable to the shareholders of the Company. Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. Further, we believe that our company may have difficulties raising capital until we locate a prospective business opportunity through which we can pursue our plan of operation. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our acquisition efforts, our business may fail and our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Should our original business plan fail, we anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and without certainty of success. Management believes that there are numerous firms in various industries seeking the perceived benefits of being a publicly registered corporation. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this section where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Our preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We consider the following accounting policies to be critical because the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change or because the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material.
Revenue Recognition
We are in the development stage and have yet to realize revenues from operations. Once we have commenced operations, we will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding during the three-month periods ended October 31, 2008, and 2007.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
We maintain a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. We established a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration our financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the generation of taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. As of October 31, 2008, and July 31, 2008, the carrying value of our financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
5
Deferred Offering Costs
We defer as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated. For the year ended July 31, 2008, we offset $13,750 in deferred offering costs to additional paid-in capital.
Common Stock Registration Expenses
We consider incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASBInstruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including Statement No. 161,“Disclosures about Derivativeenhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, SFAS No. 161 requires:
| a) | disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; |
|
| b) | disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; |
|
| c) | disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and |
|
| d) | a cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. |
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier application is encouraged. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements.
On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities.
Prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 162, GAAP hierarchy was defined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS No. 69”), “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accept Accounting Principles.”SAS No. 69 has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity. SFAS No. 162 addresses these issues by establishing that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not the auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP.
The sources of accounting principles that are generally accepted are categorized in descending order as follows:
| – | FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Interpretations, FASB Statement 133 Implementation Issues, FASB Staff Positions, and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Accounting Research Bulletins and Accounting Principles Board Opinions that are not superseded by actions of the FASB. |
| | |
| – | FASB Technical Bulletins and, if cleared by the FASB, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position. |
6
| – | AICPA Accounting Standards Executive Committee Practice Bulletins that have been cleared by the FASB, consensus positions of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), and the Topics discussed in Appendix D of EITF Abstracts (EITF D-Topics). |
| | |
| – | Implementation guides (Q&As) published by the FASB staff, AICPA Accounting Interpretations, AICPA Industry Audit and Accounting Guides and Statements of Position not cleared by the FASB, and practices that are widely recognized and prevalent either generally or in the industry. |
SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to its authoritative literature. It is only effective for non-governmental entities; therefore, the GAAP hierarchy will remain in SAS No. 69 for state and local governmental entities and federal governmental entities. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements.
On May 26, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (“SFAS No. 163”). SFAS No. 163 clarifies how FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 60”), applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.
The accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 163 are intended to improve the comparability and quality of information provided to users of financial statements by creating consistency. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises.” That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred under FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 163 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations and (b) the insurance enterprise’s surveillance or watch list.
SFAS No. 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities. Disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities are effective the first period beginning after issuance of SFAS No. 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have material impact on our financial statements.
