NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) |
____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. | Statement of Information Furnished: |
| |
| The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Advanced Cellular Technology, Inc. (“the Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. |
| |
| Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine month period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2003. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis and financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, filed with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. |
| |
| Certain accounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These changes had no effect on previously reported results of operations or total stockholders’ equity. |
| |
2. | Organization And Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
| |
| Organization– The Company was formed as a Transcontinental Printing Corporation in 1981 to develop and market cellular mobile telephone control units. The present name of Advanced Cellular Technology, Inc. was adopted in 1983. |
| |
| In September 1988, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Serra Communications, Inc. (“Serra”), a reseller of PBX communication equipment for 27,533,848 shares of the Company’s common stock, as approved by a majority of the Company’s shareholders. The operations of Serra and the Company have been consolidated in 1988. In October 1989, this transaction was rescinded (see Note 9). |
| |
| The Company substantially ceased operations during 1991 and has been inactive since July 1, 1991. The Company, therefore, became a development stage enterprise and losses since that date have been recorded as deficit accumulated during the development stage. Activities of the Company prior to this date have been reflected as discontinued operations. |
| |
| Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the Company has raised additional funds, primarily through a private placement of notes and has commenced limited lending activities of non-prime consumer installment contracts (see Notes 3 and 10). |
| |
| Property and Equipment– Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. |
| |
| Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Loan Losses-- Interest income from installment sales contracts is recognized using the interest method. Loan origination service fees and certain direct costs, if applicable, are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan using the interest method. Accrual of interest income and accretion of unearned purchase discounts, if applicable, continue until installment contracts are collected in full, become 60 days delinquent, or are charged-off. |
| |
| The portion of the discount arising from purchases of installment contracts receivable which is not considered to be a nonrefundable reserve for credit losses is recorded as an unearned discount. Unearned discounts are deferred and accreted to income using the interest method over the contractual life of the related receivables. The Company periodically reassesses the amount of contract purchase discount accreted to interest income to reflect changes in delinquency and charge-off experience. |
| |
| Deferred Charges– Deferred charges represent direct, incremental costs of issuing the related security and are amortized on the straight-line basis over the life of the security. |
| |
| Loss Per Share– Basic earnings or loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. There were no options outstanding or other potential common stock outstanding for the periods presented. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value, when applicable. All earnings or loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic loss per share. |
| |
3. | Continued Operations And Going Concern: |
| |
| The Company is in the development stage and has no revenue producing assets nor cash flow from operations. Management intends to begin operations in December 2002 as a specialty finance company, focusing on higher credit risk loans, generally financing purchases of used vehicles. |
| |
| The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Continuation of the Company is dependent upon raising additional capital and ultimately, achieving net profits and positive cash flow from operations. To meet these objectives, management is actively seeking additional capital (see Notes 5 and 10) and potential merger candidates, however, the ultimate success of these efforts are unknown. During 2003, the Company has raised $350,000 pursuant to a private placement of unsecured convertible notes. In connection with this offering, the Company paid the placement agent approximately $52,000, which will be amortized into expense over the period the notes are outstanding. The notes have an interest rate of 9.25% and are convertible into common stock at $0.005 per share, which management estimates is the current market value of the shares. |
| |
| During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company also received advances of approximately $26,000 from affiliated entities. These advances were repaid from proceeds of the note offering. The Company has negotiated a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank. The terms of this line of credit are interest at the lesser of 11% or 7% over prime. Advances under the line are subject to 80% of the Company’s eligible receivables. |
| |
| Should the Company be unable to successfully accomplish the above objectives, it will not be able to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments should the Company be unable to continue operations. |
| |
4. | Discontinued Operations: |
| |
| Prior to July 1, 1991, the Company was a manufacturer of and reseller of cellular phones throughout the United States. These operations substantially ceased during fiscal 1991. In 1996, the Company wrote-off payables of $16,622 related to discontinued operations as a result of exceeding the California statute of limitations in connection with such liabilities. The Company has not received any claims for payment on these past payables and believes it is remote that any future claims will be made. |
| |
5. | Notes Payable: |
| |
| Notes payable of $147,000 at March 31, 2003 consists of the following: |
| |
| $12,000 - 12% convertible debenture dated May 1987, which is in default. The note is convertible to common stock at $.05 per share. No formal claims for payment have been made on this outstanding debt. Accrued interest on this debt is approximately $20,100. |
| |
| $135,000 – 9.25% unsecured convertible notes issued pursuant to a private placement. In connection with this offering, the Company paid the placement agent $20,250 which will be amortized into expense over the period the notes are outstanding. The notes bear interest at 9.25% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on May 1, 2003 and November 1, 2003. The notes are due November 1, 2003. and are convertible into common stock at $0.005 per share, which management estimates is the current market value of the shares. (See Notes 7 and 10) |
| |
6. | Commitments and Contingences: |
| |
| SEC Filings– The Company is delinquent in various filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company is in the process of bringing such delinquent filings current. Such filings, including the accompanying financial statements, will be subject to review and comment by the SEC. |
| |
| License Fee– The Company has entered into an informal license agreement with Gateway Credit Holdings, Inc. (“Gateway”), a company with a common officer and shareholder, to pay Gateway a fee of $150 per funded receivable contract for use of Gateway’s computer systems and software in qualifying prospects. This license agreement is subject to change based on the execution of a formal agreement between the companies. |
| |
7. | Stockholders’ Equity: |
| |
| Investment Banking Agreement– The Company entered into an agreement with an investment banking firm (“firm”) to provide corporate financing activities to the Company. During February 2003, the firm received 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of these shares, 158,809 came directly from the Company’s President and 841,191 were issued by the Company. Under this agreement, the Company paid a non-refundable advisory fee of $25,000 to the investment banking firm. |
| |
| Equity Transactions– During fiscal 1990, the Company rescinded the merger with Serra (see Note 9). As a result, 23,466,848 shares of common stock were returned to the Company. As of June 30, 1990, the father of an officer/director contributed a non-interest bearing note payable of $8,700 to the Company. This amount is reflected as a capital contribution. |
| |
| Stock Option Plan– In 1984, the stockholders approved the Company’s 1984 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, options to purchase up to 2,269,000 shares of the Company’s common stock can be granted to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and of its affiliates. The Plan provided that the option price be the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors. Options granted become exercisable and expire as determined by the Board of Directors. |
| |
| The following is a summary of the transactions under the Plan: |
| |
| | Number of Shares Under Options | | Weighted Average Option Price Per Share |
| | 1990 | | 1990 |
| | | | |
Balance, beginning of year | | 375,000 | | $ .025 |
Options granted | | – | | |
Options terminated | | (375,000) | | .025 |
Options exercised | | – | | |
| | | | |
Balance, end of year | | – | | |
| These options are exercisable one year after the date of grant and expire five years after the date of the grant. All options as of June 30, 1990 expired without exercise upon termination of the employee, who held the option. The plan expired in 1994. |
| |
8. | Income Taxes: |
| |
| As of June 30, 2002, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future Federal taxable income of approximately $305,000, which expire at various dates through 2021. The availability of those losses to offset future income may be limited if the Company successfully completes a merger or otherwise issues significant additional common shares pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. |
| |
| The difference between the expected tax rate and the zero benefit recorded is a result of the valuation allowance offsetting the expected tax benefit in all years. The Company has a deferred tax asset for operating loss carryforwards of approximately $104,000 as of June 30, 2002, which has been fully reserved due to uncertainty of utilization. The change in the valuation allowances is solely caused by the net loss of each year. |
| |
9. | Serra Acquisition/Rescission: |
| |
| On September 30, 1988, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Serra Communications, Inc. (“Serra”), a reseller of PBX communication equipment for 27,533,848 shares of the Company’s common stock. This exchange was approved by a majority of the Company’s shareholders at its 1988 annual meeting on September 29, 1988. The operations of Serra had been consolidated with the Company’s as of October 1, 1988. |
| |
| In October 1989, the Company rescinded the Serra merger due to prior problems with Serra’s management. Law enforcement agencies brought criminal action against a former officer of Serra for purchasing stolen merchandise during a period prior to the merger with the Company. The Company’s current management understands this former officer of Serra was subsequently convicted. The Company’s management was not aware of this problem at the time of the merger. The Company, along with appropriate authorities, have investigated the activities of Serra during the period it was owned by the Company and determined that these prior illegal transactions had no effect on the financial results reported by the Company. When the Company discovered the problem, they entered into an agreement to rescind the merger with Serra. The net assets of Serra distributed to the Serra shareholders upon the dissolution had a cost basis of $141,000, which approximated the fair market value of the shares received. The Serra shareholders were allowed to retain 4,067,000 shares based on the earnings of Serra, while the two companies operated together, which were retained by the Company. |
| |
10. | Subsequent Events: |
| |
| The Company has executed non-binding letters of intent to acquire loan portfolios of Gateway and Epic Financial Services (“Epic”). An officer of Epic has subsequently become an officer of the Company. These letters of intent are subject to various conditions, including execution of formal agreements. |
| |
| Upon refiling with the State of California on payment of past state taxes, the Company was only obligated to pay a portion of the total accrued amount, which will result in approximately $6,000 being recorded as other income in fiscal 2003. |
| |
| In August 2003, the Company raised $215,000 pursuant to a private placement of unsecured convertible notes. In connection with this offering, the Company paid Brookstreet approximately $32,250 which will be amortized into expense over the period the notes are outstanding. The notes have an interest rate of 9.25% and are due May 1, 2004. The notes are convertible into common stock at $.005 per share, which management estimates is the current market value of the shares. |
| |
| Subject to a shareholder vote, the Company intends to change its name to Auto Underwriters of America, Inc., do a reverse stock split of 100 to 1, increase the authorized capital and change the domicile of the corporation from California to Colorado. |

Overview
Advanced Cellular Technology, Inc. is a publicly held company that was previously engaged in the business of developing, assembling, marketing and selling cellular mobile telephones and peripheral products. For all practical purposes, the Company ceased operations in December 1990 due to extensive competition in the wireless communication industry and lack of capital to fund continued operations. The Company is currently reorganizing and instituting new management headed by the Company’s original founder, Dean Antonis. Once reorganized, the Company intends to become a non-prime, automobile finance company that will use advanced software, including the internet, to engage in the purchasing and servicing of non-prime installment sales contracts (“Installment Contracts”) originated by automobile dealers in the sale of new and used automobiles. The Company will acquire directly or through intermediaries Installment Contracts originated by automobile dealers in connection with their sale of new and used automobiles, vans, SUVs and light duty trucks to borrowers with limited credit histories or past credit problems (“Non-prime Consumers”). To achieve an acceptable rate of return and provide adequate protection from excessive credit risks, Installment Contracts will be purchased from dealers at a discount to the remaining principal balance.
As part of the Company’s reorganization, the Company will seek additional financing from public and private sources. To facilitate this financing, the Company believes it is essential to regain its public status and obtain a listing on a recognized trading exchange. Accordingly it is filing annual and other reports as are required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, the Company intends to hold an annual meeting of shareholders in the upcoming fiscal year to approve the election of directors, change its name to Auto Underwriters of America, Inc., change the domicile of the corporation from California to Colorado, increase the authorized capital of the Company, and effectuate a reverse stock split.
Plan of Operation
The Company’s goal is to become a leading lender engaged in the purchasing and servicing of Non-prime Consumer Installment Contracts. To help the Company accomplish this goal, it intends to consummate several transactions in the next several months. The Company has entered into non-binding letters of intent with two other non-prime automobile finance companies whereby the Company will purchase the loan portfolios of those companies. Specifically, the Company intends to enter into an agreement with Epic Financial Services (“Epic”) to purchase Epic’s non-prime automobile loan portfolio, which the Company values at $3.7 million, in exchange for the Company’s Common Stock and cash. It is estimated that the Company will issue to Epic shares of Common Stock representing approximately 38.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as consideration. In connection with this proposed transaction, William Kellagher, the current President and co-founder of Epic, became the Vice President of the Company in October 2002. Additionally, the Company has executed a non-binding letter of intent with Gateway Credit Holdings, Inc. (“Gateway”), a related party also engaged in the non-prime automobile finance industry. Gateway has developed proprietary software, called AutoUnderwriter.com, that allows an automobile dealer or borrower to input various fields of information into an online financing application, conducts the credit screening process, and provides an answer to the applicant within thirty seconds of the application’s submittal. The non-binding letter of intent provides for the Company to purchase Gateway’s software applications and existing loan portfolio in exchange for the Company’s Common Stock and cash. It is estimated that the Company will issue to Gateway shares of Common Stock representing approximately 38.9% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as consideration. The Company values the software at $300,000 and the loan portfolio at $2.5 million. Prior to the consummation of a definitive agreement with Gateway, the Company will use AutoUnderwriter.com and pay Gateway an estimated fee of $150 per funded contract.
AutoUnderwriter.com, Gateway’s proprietary software, allows an automobile dealer or borrower to input various fields of information into an online financing application, conducts the credit screening process, and provides an answer to the applicant within thirty seconds of the application’s submittal.
The Company believes that its to be developed website should provide the following benefits:
| |
• | Instant Credit Decisions. The Company’s website should provide dealers and consumers with online credit decisions within thirty seconds after an online application is submitted. After the online decision is made, the Company will verify the loan documentation sent by the dealer and ensure that the loan and the borrower satisfy the Company’s internal criteria for financing. The Company’s verification process should normally be completed within three days of the receipt of the loan documentation. Management believes that the speed at which dealers and consumers can receive a credit decision for the financing of a loan will encourage dealers and consumers to use the website and will ultimately result in more financing opportunities. |
| |
• | Automatic Deal Structures. Dealers will have the option of (i) entering financing deals that they already structured and the Company will give the dealer a decision on whether the Company will finance the deal, or (ii) the Company will process the application and provide the dealer an approval with the maximum contract limits that will enable the Company to purchase the contract. |
| |
• | Decisions 24 hours a day/7days a week/365 days a year. The Company’s website will allow for applications to be submitted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many auto sales take place in the evenings and on the weekends when financial institutions are closed. Many finance companies are only open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. The Company’s website will provide instant decisions during these peak evening and weekend hours, even though such hours are outside normal business hours. This instant decision process should help increase dealer sales and help reduce dealer “roll-backs” which occur when a dealer finances a vehicle and is later forced to reclaim the vehicle because the dealer is unable to sell the financing structure. |
The Company intends to provide extensive product and pricing information that it hopes will lead to increased customer satisfaction. As the Company grows and implements its business model it intends that credit officers and loan administrators will be employed to provide telephone and email support to dealers and consumers.
The Company plans to undertake the collection process for all accounts contractually delinquent, and subsequently undertake all repossession functions. The Company’s servicing activities will include (i) monitoring installment contracts and collateral, (ii) accounting for and posting all payments received, (iii) responding to customer inquiries, (iv) taking all action to maintain the security interest granted in the financed vehicle, (v) investigating delinquencies and communicating with the borrowers to obtain timely payment, and (vi) pursuing deficiencies in installment contacts.
At the time of a purchase of a financed vehicle, the Company notifies the borrower that the Company has purchased the financing contract and will direct the borrower how to make payments. The Company will also undertake the collection functions.
Other than the activity described in this report, including the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and Part II of this report, the Company has engaged in very little business activity and has not hired any employees. The Company estimates that it can satisfy its cash requirements in the next twelve (12) months through revenues from future customer accounts, a bank line of credit, and the proceeds from the offering of unsecured notes to accredited investors.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 under supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of August 31, 2003. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. The design of any future system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions regardless of how remote.

ITEM 2. | CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. |
| In January 2003 and August 2003, the Company offered and sold 9.25% unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to a private placement memorandum dated November 20, 2002 and a Supplement dated May 30, 2003. The Company sold a total of $350,000 worth of Notes to seventeen (17) accredited investors. The Notes were offered on a “best efforts” basis on behalf of the Company by Brookstreet Securities Corporation, a NASD licensed broker-dealer (“Brookstreet”). Brookstreet received a sales commission of ten percent (10%) and a non-accountable expense allowance of five percent (5%). The offering was made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. No general or public solicitation or advertising was employed in the offering.
|
| |
| The Notes are an unsecured general obligation of the Company, limited in aggregate principal amount to $350,000. The Notes issued pursuant to the Memorandum dated November 20, 2002 mature on November 1, 2003 and the Notes issued pursuant to the Supplement dated May 30, 2003 mature on May 1, 2004. The Notes bear interest at 9.25% per annum from the date of issuance, payable semi-annually on May 1, 2003 and November 1, 2003 or November 1, 2003 and May 1, 2004, depending upon the issuance date, to the persons in whose names such Notes are issued. Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. To the extent lawful, any installment of interest on the Notes which is not paid when due will accrue interest at the lesser of 18%, compounded quarterly, or the highest lawful rate of interest from the due date until paid. At any time prior to maturity, any Noteholder has the option to convert all or part of the unpaid principal balance due on the Note into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to all or such part of the unpaid principal balance of the Note divided by half a cent ($0.005) per share of Common Stock, any such fractional shares to be paid in cash. Interest due on the Notes is not convertible into Common Stock of the Company. To exercise the option, a Noteholder must surrender the Note to the Company, accompanied by written notice of Noteholder’s intention to convert the Note into Common Stock, which notice shall set forth the principal amount of the Note, if not the entire unpaid principal balance, to be converted into Common Stock. Within ten (10) business days of the Company’s receipt of the notice and the Noteholder’s surrender of the Note, the Company will deliver to the Noteholder, shares of Common Stock in the Noteholder’s name. |
| |
| The Notes are redeemable for cash at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to each Noteholder without prepayment premium or penalty. Notice will be mailed to all Noteholders setting forth (i) the redemption date, (ii) the redemption price including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest to be paid upon such redemption, (iii) a statement that the Notes must be delivered to the Company, and (v) a statement that interest on the Notes, or portion thereof being redeemed, ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date. In the case of notice to the holder of any Note to be redeemed in part, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Note will be issued. In the event of partial redemption of the Notes, the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part will be selected on a pro rata basis, or in such other manner as the Company deems appropriate and fair. The Notes may be redeemed in multiples of $1,000 only. Any Noteholder, upon receipt of the Company’s notice of redemption, may elect to convert the Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock as described above. In the event of a reverse stock-split or other form of re-capitalization which effects the number of shares outstanding, all shares outstanding and Notes convertible into shares of Common Stock will be adjusted proportionally to any such stock-split or re-capitalization without further action by the holder or the Company. |
| |
| In addition, in February 2003, the Company issued a total of 841,191 shares of its Common Stock to Brookstreet Securities Corporation pursuant to an investment banking agreement between Brookstreet and the Company dated November 4, 2002. The shares were issued as partial consideration for Brookstreet’s corporate financing activities, including the sale of the Notes described above.
