(formerly known as TrackPower, Inc.)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
May 31, 2009
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern Basis Of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $927,225 at May 31, 2009. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue to fund future operations using its existing resources.
In order to meet its near term obligations and provide the necessary funding for future operations, the Company will have to raise additional financing.
The Company heavily relies upon loans from related parties, specifically Gamecorp Ltd. (“Gamecorp”), to further provide capital contributions to its investments. As at May 31, 2009, Gamecorp holds a 16.6% ownership interest in the Company. During the three month period ended May 31, 2009, Gamecorp further advanced the Company $22,691. As at May 31, 2009 the Company is indebted to Gamecorp for $221,773.
Gamecorp is an investment and merchant banking enterprise focused on the development of its investments in the gaming and technology sectors. Gamecorp’s technology investments have suffered due to unforeseen events and the global financial crisis. Gamecorp may not be able to provide additional capital over the next year to the Company in order to satisfy existing liabilities and make further capital contributions to its investments. Failure to obtain such capital could adversely impact the Company’s operations and prospects.
Description of Business
Gate To Wire Solutions, Inc., (formerly TrackPower, Inc.) (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on June 30, 1993. On July 25, 2008 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of TrackPower, Inc. 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., 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.
All share and per-share amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to apply the effect of the reverse stock split retrospectively.
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 three months ended May 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2010. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2009.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
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 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), "Business Combinations”. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, on any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
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 April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This guidance does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The provisions of FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”). FAS 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. FAS 165 will be effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. We do not expect the adoption of FAS 165 to have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”, to formally establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the SEC. On the effective date, the Codification will supersede existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification becomes nonauthoritative. Therefore, from the effective date of the Codification, there will no longer be levels of authoritative GAAP, rather there will only be authoritative and nonauthoritative GAAP. All content within the Codification carries the same level of authority. The Statement makes the Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the impact of SFAS No. 168 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company settled all amounts owed to the related party through the issuance of stock during the year ended February 28, 2009 and therefore the proceeds from sale has been reflected as other income during the three month period ended May 31, 2009.

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. 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. 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.
All share and per-share amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to apply the effect of the reverse stock split retrospectively.

Plan of Operations
Development Agreement
On April 15, 2009, the Company announced that it has entered into a development agreement with Function Mobile, Inc. ("FMI") for an interactive Short-Message-Service ("SMS") platform targeting horseracing and pari-mutuel wagering markets in Latin America.
FMI will develop a suite of SMS wagering products and horseracing-based games on behalf of, and in conjunction with the Company, who in turn will own outright all intellectual property rights to the products, promotions and services developed.
Once developed, the Company will implement the wagering SMS platform in appropriate Latin American locations, providing interface and interconnectivity to a tote system and wagering hub so that the wagers can be processed in accordance with all appropriate laws and regulations.
In addition, FMI will provide Gate To Wire with technical support and ongoing services as required for operation of the interactive SMS platform. For promotion and distribution, FMI has committed to enter into agreements with local telecommunications companies to provide SMS interconnectivity for the operation, as well as marketing and promotion of the Gate To Wire interactive SMS platform. Revenue collection will occur via telecom billing.
Gate To Wire will pay an as yet to be determined development fee for each game developed through this agreement based on an agreed upon scope of work, in addition to an ongoing service fee of 10% of net revenues generated through the platform for ongoing service and support
Signature Gaming Letter of Intent
On April 23, 2009, the Company announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Signature Gaming Management Peru, S.A.C. ("SGM") to develop a gaming interface for both Simulcast and Online Account Wagering for SGM's projects in Peru.
SGM is a private entity formed to pursue gaming opportunities in Peru. It currently has agreements with the Jockey Club of Arequipa ("JCA") to manage and operate its newly constructed Carro Colorado Racetrack in Arequipa, as well as to conduct race and sports wagering at the JCA-owned Social Club, which will also have a slot machine casino operation. The Company will provide SGM with a user-friendly, real-time online wagering experience featuring North American horse racing product, previously unavailable in the region.
In addition, the Company will provide SGM with a Wagering Interface for use at the new Carro Colorado Racetrack, the Social Club Casino and other off-track locations, specifically featuring live racing simulcast from North America.
SGM recently also entered into a separate letter of intent with InterAmerican Gaming, Inc. ("IAG"), a related party to the Company by virtue of certain common officers and directors, pursuant to which IAG plans to participate in the development of the Social Club Casino with SGM.
Results of Operations
For the three month period ended May 31, 2009 and 2008
Costs and expenses totalled $166,586 during the three-month period ended May 31, 2009, $37,415 higher than during the three month period ended May 31, 2008. The Company’s increased costs during the first quarter of the current year are primarily a result of a foreign exchange loss as a result of the appreciation of the Canadian Dollar.
Management fees paid to related parties were $78,851 during the three month period ended May 31, 2009 and $78,919 during the comparative period in the prior year. Management fees include executive management costs including strategic planning, financing and horseracing industry consulting and corporate secretarial services.
Professional fees during the three month period end May 31, 2009 were $6,375 in comparison to $8,855 during the prior period. During the three month period ended May 31, 2009 the professional fees consisted of $6,375 in audit fees.
General and administrative expenses were $51,931 during the three month period ended May 31, 2009 compared to $39,237 during the three month period ended May 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses are higher than the previous year due to costs associated with pursuing the development and operation of horseracing video distribution ventures in international markets. General and administrative expenses during the three month period ended May 31, 2009 included: 1) corporate fees of $5,786, 2) travel, meals and entertainment of $6,743, 3) insurance of $2,657, 4) directors fees of $8,244, 5) consulting costs of $15,309, and 6) other miscellaneous costs of $13,192.
During the three months ended May 31, 2009 the Company recorded a $29,429 foreign exchange loss and $2,160 in the comparative prior year period. As a substantial portion of the Company’s related party liabilities are denominate in Canadian dollars, the loss is attributed and a result of the appreciation of the Canadian Dollar.
The Company recorded other income of $43,000 during the three month period ended May 31, 2009, as a result of the sale of property by a related party. The Company directed the cash proceeds to be paid to Gamecorp as a reduction of intercompany debt. The Company settled all amounts owed to the related party through the issuance of stock during the year ended February 28, 2009 and therefore the proceeds paid to Gamecorp has been reflected as other income during the three month period ended May 31, 2009.
Our net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 is $123,586 and $129,171, respectively.
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 for the year ended February 28, 2009 includes 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers cash and all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. At no time during the year did the balance at one financial institution exceed insured limits.
Fair value of financial instruments
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, amounts due to related parties are carried in the financial statements at amounts which approximate fair value.
Financial Condition
During the three month period ended May 31, 2009, total assets increased from $1,593 to $4,328.
The Company’s liabilities increased by $126,321 during the three month period ended May 31, 2009. The increase is primarily a result of an increase of $95,103 in amounts due to related parties.
Accounts payable increased from $292,381 at the beginning of the year to $316,149 at May 31, 2009.
Due to related parties increased from $478,851 at February 28, 2009 to $573,954 at May 31, 2009. Amounts due to related parties represent $222,603 advance by a shareholder, $129,578 due to directors and/or officers of the Company and $221,773 due to entities with common directors and /or officers of the Company. Amounts due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific repayment terms.
Accrued professional and other expenses increased by $7,450 during the three month period ended May 31, 2009 and primarily represent $5,875 in audit fees, $10,575 in legal fees and $25,000 in relation to printing and mailing costs associated with the annual filings.
The stockholders’ deficiency increased from $803,639 at February 28, 2009 to $927,225 at May 31, 2009. The increase is substantially attributable to an increase in the accumulated deficit arising from the $123,586 loss for the three month period ended May 31, 2009.
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. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operations were financed primarily through advances from related parties. During the three month period ended May 31, 2009, the Company used $92,368 in cash in operating activities, primarily as a result of operating losses adjusted for changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company generated $92,630 in cash from financing activities, as related parties contributed further funds to the Company to continue to operate during the three month period ended May 31, 2009.
The revenues of the Company during the three month period ended May 31, 2008 were zero therefore did not play a role in financing operations. The Company in the past has financed operations through advances provided by related parties and the issuance of restricted equity securities. There can be no assurance that the Company’s ability to raise capital through related party advances and private placements will continue.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $927,225 at May 31, 2009. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue to fund future operations using its existing resources.
In order to meet it’s near term obligations and provide the necessary funding for future operations, the Company will have to raise additional financing.
The Company heavily relies upon loans from related parties, specifically Gamecorp Ltd. (“Gamecorp”), to further provide capital contributions to its investments. As at May 31, 2009, Gamecorp holds a 16.6% ownership interest in the Company. During the three month period ended May 31, 2009, Gamecorp further advanced the Company $22,691. As at May 31, 2009 the Company is indebted to Gamecorp for $221,773.
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of such period, are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter ended May 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
• Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
