Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2008
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On July 25, 2008 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of the TrackPower, Inc. (“TrackPower” or the “Company”) with Gate to Wire Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation which was a newly formed special purpose wholly owned subsidiary of TrackPower. The Agreement and Plan of Merger became effective September 3, 2008. Subsequent to the merger the Company began to conduct business under the name Gate to Wire Solutions, Inc. (“Gate To Wire”), which more accurately reflects the nature of the business the Company is engaged in. Upon consummation of the merger, each one hundred (100) outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock was automatically converted into one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of outstanding Common Stock. Further information can be reviewed in the Company’s Notice of Annual Shareholder Meeting and Proxy Statement.
Nature of Business
Our present business strategy and direction is to develop and operate a horseracing video distribution venture in international markets.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Gate To Wire Solutions, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Gamecorp Inc., which is inactive. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations during its operating history and at November 30, 2008 had a working capital deficit of $617,495. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining future financing and profitable operations. Management is in the process of evaluating future business opportunities, which would generate revenue to sustain the operations of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
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. Significant estimates include the recoverability of assets and the fair value of common stock and other equity securities issued. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 - Due to/from Related Parties
Periodically, the Company advances funds and pays expenses on behalf of related parties and funds are advanced and expenses are paid by related parties on behalf of the Company. These transactions result in non-interest bearing payables or receivables to related parties.
Amounts due from related parties were:
| | November 30, 2008 | | | February 29, 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Entities with common directors and/or officers | | $ | 4,042 | | | $ | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Amounts due to related parties were:
| | November 30, 2008 | | | November 30, 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Entities with common directors and/or officers | | $ | 117,345 | | | $ | - | |
Director | | | 2,985 | | | | - | |
Shareholder | | | 219,603 | | | | 212,000 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 339,933 | | | $ | 212,000 | |
Amounts due to or from related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and do not have any specific repayment terms.
Note 3 – Licensing Rights
During fiscal 2008, the Company acquired the exclusive licensing rights for Latin America for a horseracing proprietary video distribution service from Bettor Solutions Inc. Under the license the Company will share net revenues with Bettor Solutions Inc.
As of November 30, 2008 the Company had not yet begun to receive revenues under the arrangement, and therefore, the Company has not yet begun to amortize the intangible asset.
Note 4 - Restructuring of Liabilities and Preferred Stock
On February 29, 2008, the Company entered into a series of agreements to restructure certain related party liabilities and Series A convertible preferred shares.
Related Party Liabilities:
The Company agreed to issue 899,375 common shares to existing and former officers and directors for past services provided of $99,875. Such shares were issued in the three months ended May 31, 2008
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:
The Company had $3,000,000 principal value of 8% Series A convertible preferred share obligations and $439,836 of accrued and unpaid dividends outstanding and the Company agreed to; 1) issue 12,200,000 restricted shares of its common stock valued at $3,439,836, and 2) provide an earn out arrangement of ten percent (10%) of cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization paid in cash, quarterly, 45 days following fiscal quarter end, to a maximum of $1,000,000, collectively, to the members and affiliates of Asolare II, LLC, (“Asolare”) as full and complete settlement of its preferred share obligations including any related obligations of Asolare to its affiliates. The 12,200,000 restricted common shares were issued in the three months ended May 31, 2008.
Note 5 - Loss per Share
Loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Warrants to purchase stock are included as common stock equivalents only when dilutive.
Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
During the nine month period ended November 30, 2008, the Company paid $239,096 in compensation to officers as management fees for their services. The Company also issued 899,375 common shares to officers in payment of obligations owed (Note 4).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. SFAS
161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60" (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 163 on its consolidated financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and as such may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market and statements regarding the Company's goals. The Company's actual results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements may differ. We are under no duty to update, and do not undertake to update, any of the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
Plan of Operations
Bettor Solutions Inc. Agreement
On December 4, 2007, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement with Bettor Solutions Inc. (“BSI”) to jointly develop and market BSI's proprietary Video Distribution Service in Latin America.
This was Gate To Wire's first major step in a restructuring strategy, as it positioned itself to offer a range of products and services to the Latin American marketplace. Gate To Wire and BSI are combining efforts to deliver a package of products, services and advisory expertise to racing and wagering interests to this region.
Gate To Wire obtained an exclusive license to operate the Video Distribution Service in Latin America in exchange for 500,000 shares of its common stock. Pursuant to the license, Gate To Wire and BSI agree to share the net profit from the video distribution
and wager processing on a 50/50 basis. Gate To Wire will be responsible for the expenses associated with obtaining distribution
agreements and BSI will be responsible for delivering the technology and operational support on a day-to-day basis. The initial term for the license runs until November 21, 2009 and may be extended for additional one-year terms.
The Company will need to raise additional cash to continue to pay its operating expenses in the next twelve months until the distribution from the new ventures exceed the day to day operating costs. The Company also plans to seek other racing and gaming opportunities in the United States.
The Company plans to raise additional funds, in the next twelve months, through the issuance of its common stock or through a combination of equity and debt security instruments. It is anticipated that the debt security instruments will have conversion features that would cause further dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
For the three month period ended November 30, 2008 and 2007
Costs and expenses totalled $197,525 during the three-month period ended November 30, 2008, $92,152 higher than during the three month period ended November 30, 2007. The Company experienced increased costs during the third quarter of the current year as management and directors transitioned our business strategy and direction to develop and operate a horseracing video distribution venture in international markets.
Management fees paid to related parties were $79,407 for the three month period ended November 30, 2008 and $55,429 in the comparative period in the prior period.
Professional fees for the three month period end November 30, 2008 was $11,070 in comparison to a recovery of $6,696 for the prior period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management evaluates the estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to bad debts, investments, customer accounts, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Note 2 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" of the Company’s Annual Audited Financial Statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. The following is a brief description of the more significant accounting policies and methods the Company uses.
Intangibles, Goodwill and Other Assets
The Company adopted SFAS No 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS No. 142 does not permit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually (or more frequently under prescribed conditions) for impairment in accordance with this statement. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for an amount equal to that excess. Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.
The Company regularly reviews all of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flow. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. When management determines that an impairment review is necessary based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model. Significant judgment is required in the development of projected cash flows for these purposes including assumptions regarding the appropriate level of aggregation of cash flows, their term and discount rate as well as the underlying forecasts of expected future revenue and expense. To the extent that events or circumstances cause assumptions to change, charges may be required which could be material.
Financial Condition
During the nine month period ended November 30, 2008, total assets decreased from $160,552 to $54,211. The decrease is primarily the result of a $110,353 decrease in cash due to the loss from operations for the nine month period.
The most significant asset of the Company is its license rights, which it carries at $50,000 (unchanged since last fiscal year end). The Company has not placed this asset in use as of November 30, 2008.
The Company’s liabilities remained unchanged at approximately $622,000 at November 30, 2008. However, amounts due to related parties increased by $127,933, and restructured liabilities from a settlement with former officers and directors for past services provided decreased by $99,875.
Accounts payable decreased from $263,726 at the beginning of the year to $233,590 at November 30, 2008.
Due to related parties increased from $212,000 at February 29, 2008 to $339,933 at November 30, 2008. Periodically, the Company is advanced and expenses are paid by related parties on behalf of the Company. Amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific repayment terms.
The stockholders’ deficiency increased from $461,079 at February 29, 2008 to $567,495 at November 30, 2008. The increase is substantially attributable to an increase in the accumulated deficit arising from the $450,615 loss for the nine month period ended November 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operations were financed primarily through advances from related parties and from existing cash balances. During the nine month period ended November 30, 2008, the Company used $110,353 in cash from operating activities primarily as a result of operating losses and adjustments to working capital accounts. Related parties provided $378,340 during the nine month period ended November 30, 2008.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended November 30, 2008 totalled $nil.
The revenues of the Company during the nine month period ended November 30, 2008 were zero therefore did not play a significant role in financing operations. The Company in the past has financed operations through the issuance of restricted equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ability to raise capital through private placements will continue.
Management is hopeful that the future business direction of the Company will substantially decrease the history of operating losses and provide the ability to improve the Company’s liquidity. The Company will require additional capital over the next year in order to satisfy existing liabilities and to provide further capital contributions to its investments. Failure to obtain such capital could adversely impact the Company's operations and prospects.
Off-balance sheet arrangements.
The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements.
