Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2009
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make the financial statements not misleading and to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at October 31, 2009, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet
Established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the quarter ended October 31, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended. In connection with preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of October 31, 2009 and for the quarter and six month period ended October 31, 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the SEC).
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” pr ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) The Company’s management reviewed all material events through December 14, 2009 and there are no material subsequent events to report.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Company Overview and Plan of Operation
We were incorporated as Hotel Management Systems, Inc. on April 15, 2008 in the State of Nevada for the purpose of developing, perfecting, and marketing a proprietary hotel management software known as “Hotel Management Tool.”
The “Hotel Management Tool” software offers hotel operators a single software platform which integrates all major aspects of the day-to-day management of their enterprise. Although the HMT is fully customizable and able to incorporate additional modules, our standard version will feature three basic modules that deal with those hotel operating functions which can be most easily improved by the use of our software platform: Product and Supplies Management, Employee Data, and Employment Counseling and Reporting.
Product and Supplies Management
This module of the HMT software will allow hotel management to track and manage its inventory of supplies and in-room products like shampoo, soap, and similar items. All of the supplies and in-room products commonly used by the hotel can be input into a database which will contain any necessary item or catalog numbers for each individual product. The hotel’s management will also input unit cost and a desired minimum and maximum quantity of hand for each product. On a daily or other periodic basis, the hotel’s employees will then record inventory through the use of a count worksheet. The hotel’s quantity on hand is then updated in a separate screen. As the minimum quantity on hand is approached, the HMT will know which products to re-order and in what quantity to order them and will produce the appropriate product order.\
Employee Data Management
This module of the HMT software will allow for easy maintenance of a complete and user-friendly employee database. Through a series of screens, the employee’s personal information, contact and emergency information, and work-related information can be easily input and maintained by management.
Employment Counseling and Reporting
The third standard module to be included in the HMT software will allow hotel management to accurately record and track employee disciplinary incidents and any related counseling sessions with employees through a user-friendly data screen. In the event that an employee must be terminated, a full record and evaluation of the employee’s attendance, cooperation, initiative, job knowledge, and over work quality can be easily input by management. The HMT will then generate a written report that can be given to the employee. The employee will sign a receipt of the report, which can be stored in the hotel’s permanent records.
Additional Standard Features
Together with the standard set of functions summarized above, the HMT offers some important standard features:
· | Self-updating: The HMT automatically checks for newer versions of the software, available upgrades, and software updates. The software is updated automatically on a continuous basis, ensuring maximum performance and user satisfaction. |
· | Tiered Security: The HMT features a tiered security system with a separate login and set of security credentials for each employee of the hotel who will be using the program. Management can easily structure these security credentials to allow different levels and types of access to the HMT’s different functions depending upon the level of each employee’s security credentials. |
· | Fully Scalable: The HMT is fully scalable, which means that its capacity can grow and expand with the customer’s business. The software can easily add additional capacity and new features and can accommodate more robust database systems as the customer’s business operations become larger and more complex. |
Customization and Additional Modules Available
In addition to the 3 standard modules described above, the HMT can easily accommodate additional segments dealing with different aspects of the hotel and motel business. The core of the program is designed to operate as hub, with different sets of functions that can be added or subtracted to the core system like spokes on a wheel. Nearly every operating hotel already uses some type of reservation software and some type of employee timekeeping software. Once they have begun using our standard product, however, many customers may desire a more total and cost-effective integration of their operations. Additional modules that are ready to add-on to the HMT at the customer’s request include the following:
· | Room inventory and reservations system |
· | Employee timekeeping and payroll |
· | Online product ordering from key suppliers |
Pricing and Revenue Model
Our intended pricing structure will feature a base purchase price for the standard version of the HMT software, with an extra charge for each additional module requested by the customer. We will also charge a small monthly license fee for all maintenance and updates of the software and for storage of the customer’s data:
Standard version: $1,500
Each additional module: $500-$1,000 depending on specifications
Monthly fee
Including data storage: $20 per month per site
Monthly fee if
Customer stores own data: $8 per month per site
The customer’s ongoing contract for maintenance, updates, and data storage will be renewable annually at the option of the customer. Larger customers will substantial data storage needs or complex customizations may be charged higher fees. We believe this pricing model will position us well to compete for the business of smaller hotel and motel operators (i.e.: those with ten or fewer sites) who may be looking for a flexible and effective management software solution at lower price than that typically charged by larger competitors in the field.
Competition
The field of hotel management software is flooded with an array of options which focus primarily on room reservations and room inventory management. We will face several larger and more established competitors. In addition, many larger hotel and motel chains use proprietary systems built-for-hire to suit their particular operations. We intend to focus our efforts on small independent hotels, motels, inns, and bed-and-breakfast properties. We believe or HMT software will be well-positioned to compete for the business of these operators because of the following advantages:
· | Our software is fully scalable. A hotel or motel owner can purchase a basic product for relatively low cost that will be able to grow with the enterprise if and when it expands. |
· | Our software is able to integrate all functions of the enterprise, not just reservations and room inventory management. We believe this all-in-one capability will appeal to smaller customers with limited staff and resources for managing and integrating different functions of the enterprise by hand or through the use of multiple software products. |
· | We are a small company that will be focused on responsive and timely customer service. |
Plan of Operations
The HMT software has been in development for over a year and has been extensively used and tested at a medium-sized motel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Following exposure of the product to the challenges of real-world use in an active environment, we made certain changes and improvements and development of the product is essentially complete at this time.
Our initial marketing plan is to launch a direct mail-based marketing campaign focused on independent hotel and motel operators with small to medium-sized properties and fewer than 10 locations, as well as bed-and-breakfast inns and similar small independent operations. Our planned mailer will feature a complete graphical description of the HMT software as well as a demonstration CD that will show the potential customer how the software will function. The planned mailer will be followed-up with a phone call and on-site demonstrations for those customers who are interested. We have been conducting market research and building a database of properties to target with our mailer. Although we had originally planned to launch our direct mail campaign in the third quarter of our current fiscal year, certain unexpected demands on the time of our sole officer and director, John Baumbauer, have cause us to delay our plans. Our current hope is that we may begin our marketing campaign by early 2010.
As we pursue our planned operations, our sole officer and director, John Baumbauer, will provide his time to the business at no charge. Mr. Baumbauer will be responsible for all administrative duties as well as overseeing the final development and perfection of the HMT software, developing our sales and marketing information material, researching potential customers, and performing on-site product demonstrations and follow-up customer relations. As we have limited financial resources, Mr. Baumbauer can only dedicate a portion of his time to attending the needs of the business.
To the extent that Mr. Baumbauer’s outside professional duties not related to the company continue to make extraordinary demands on his time, our pace of operational development may continue to be adversely affected.
We do not have plans to purchase any significant equipment or change the number of our employees during the next twelve months.
We have no employees other than our president and CEO, Mr. Baumbauer.
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2009
We did not earn any revenues from inception on April 15, 2008 through the period ending October 31, 2009. We are presently in the development stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will produce significant revenues or, if revenues are earned, that we will be profitable.
We incurred operating expenses and net losses in the amount of $20,707 during the three months ended October 31, 2009, compared to operating expenses and net losses in the amount of $1,930 during the three months ended October 31, 2008. We incurred operating expenses and net losses in the amount of $23,042 during the six months ended October 31, 2009, compared to operating expenses and net losses in the amount of $5,689 during the six months ended October 31, 2008. We have incurred total operating expenses and net losses of $65,816 from our inception on April 15, 2008 through the period ending October 31, 2009. Our operating expenses from inception through October 31, 2009 consisted of general and administrative expenses. Our losses are attributable to our operating expenses combined with a lack of any revenues during our current stage of development. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we continue with our plan of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2009, we had cash of $11,678 and a working capital deficit of $39,587. Our cash on hand is unlikely to cover our anticipated expenses for the entire fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009 and will not be sufficient to pay any significant unanticipated expenses. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations for any significant period of time beyond the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required.
We have not attained profitable operations and may be dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our long-term business plan. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2009, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We have a working capital deficit of $39,587 as of October 31, 2009 and have accumulated a deficit of $65,816 since inception. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Management plans to continue to provide for our capital needs by the issuance of common stock and related party advances.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There are no critical accounting policies for the company as this time.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the quarter ended October 31, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended. In connection with preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of October 31, 2009 and for the quarter and six month period ended October 31, 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the SEC).
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” pr ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of October 31, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. John Baumbauer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2009.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. 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. Because of 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
