Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for bad debts, collectability of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation, and litigation contingencies, among others.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) include the accounts of Safe Technologies International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Total Micro Computers, Inc., Connect.ad, Inc., Connect.ad Services, Inc. and Internet Associates International, Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the related service has been provided, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from recurring hosting services. The Company recognizes revenue for these services as they are provided, beginning on the date that the customer commences use of our services and continuing over the term of the customer contract. Revenue from other professional services, including setup and direct installation activities are recognized in the period the services are provided. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and either deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Therefore, deferred revenue consists of amounts that have been prepaid and services have not yet been rendered.
Net loss per common share
Basic net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented, excluding unvested restricted stock awards subject to cancellation. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, potential common shares arising from the Company’s outstanding stock options amounting to 6,750,000 shares are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was antidilutive.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies cash on hand and deposits in the bank as cash and considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of risk
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from IT services and hosting, the market for which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant changes in this industry or changes in customer buying behavior could adversely impact our operating results. The Company’s concentrations of credit risk are principally in accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews the credit quality of its customers and does not require collateral. The Company relies on equipment and software purchased from third parties to provide its hosting services. This equipment and software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms to meet our business needs. Any errors or defects in third party equipment and software could result in errors or a failure of our service, which could harm our business. Indemnification from equipment and software providers, if any, would likely be insufficient to cover any damage to our business or our customers resulting from such failures.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the asset of five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
Share-based compensation
The Company records compensation expense for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. For share options to certain officers and others, the Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant dates for stock option awards issued. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the fair value of our common stock, expected term, the expected volatility, and certain present values. The Company recorded $9,169 and $0 in stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company adopted the new accounting for uncertainty in income taxes guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption of that guidance did not result in the recognition of any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2010. The Company’s U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year December 31, 2006 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes and loan payables is determined using current applicable rates which approximate market rates of such debt.
Recently issued accounting standards
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which clarifies certain existing requirements in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and requires disclosures related to significant transfers between each level and additional information about Level 3 activity. FASB ASU 2010-06 begins phasing in the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on “Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” updating ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” This standard provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, of its adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASC 985-605, “Software Revenue Recognition.” This guidance changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that are “essential to the functionality,” and scopes these products out of current software revenue guidance. The new guidance will include factors to help companies determine what software elements are considered “essential to the functionality.” The amendments will now subject software-enabled products to other revenue guidance and disclosure requirements, such as guidance surrounding revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The amendments in this guidance are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption on its financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements,” which clarifies certain existing evaluation and disclosure requirements in ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” related to subsequent events. FASB ASU 2010-09 requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date in which the financial statements are issued and is effective immediately.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has a net capital deficiency and is currently unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. A major stockholder of the Company has been funding, and continues to fund at his discretion, the Company’s operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management has introduced new commerce into the Company including a full suite of hosting services and solutions aimed at small and mid-sized businesses that they believe will meet their unique IT needs. The Company is also contemplating expanding operations and market presence by entering into business combinations, investments or alliances with third parties. There can be no assurance that they will be successful in overcoming the risks or establishing such new commerce, business combinations or expansion and that the Company would be able to continue its operations without continued support from its major stockholder.
NOTE 4. NOTES AND LOANS PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES
At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total notes and loans payable consisted of the following:
| | March 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Notes and loans payable to principal stockholders, unsecured and due upon demand, with interest at 8% | | $ | 192,764 | | | $ | 92,764 | |
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided for certain income and expenses which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. The Company had cumulative net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes at March 31, 2010 of approximately $7,900,000, expiring through December 31, 2023. The Company has established a 100% valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset, as the Company has no history of profitable operations.
NOTE 6. LEASES
The Company rents office space in Boca Raton, Florida under a lease that commenced on July 1, 2009. The lease continues through June 30, 2010 at a base rent of $2,800 per month. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 totaled $8,980. Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,479 under a month to month lease at its former location.
NOTE 7. PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
A non-cancelable purchase commitment which commenced in April 2009 relates to contracted services with our data center. The contract is for a period of 24 months with a commitment for 2010 of approximately $30,000. Charges in connection with the contract during the first quarter of 2010 of $7,665 is reflected in cost of operations.
NOTE 8. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s Compensatory Stock Plan, which became effective on July 20, 2009, provides for the grant of stock options, restricted stock grants and stock awards. The plan is designed for select employees, officers, directors and key consultants to the Company and is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing personnel who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of the Company with additional incentive by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company. The plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, and authorizes the issuance of awards and grants not to exceed a total of 10,000,000 shares. Stock options expire ten years from the date the option is granted and the Board in its discretion may provide that the option shall be exercisable throughout the ten year period or during any lesser period of time commencing on the date of grant. The specific terms of any awards under the plan are determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no options may be granted at less than the fair market value of the stock as of the date of the grant. The plan terminates on the tenth anniversary of the effective date.
In August 2009, the Company issued to its President, options to purchase 4,000,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $ 0.015 valued at $87,394 as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The options vest 1,000,000 per year over 4 years. During the first quarter of 2010, $5,463 was charged to operations and such allocations will continue throughout the vesting period.
In December 2009, the Company issued to its Chief Financial Officer, options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.025 per share, valued at $59,293, as calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The options vest 500,000 per year over 4 years. During the first quarter of 2010, $3,705 was charged to operations and such allocations will continue throughout the vesting period.
There were no stock options granted, exercised or forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” and “Safe Technologies International, Inc.” refers to Safe Technologies International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in this quarterly report. Historical operating results are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future period.
OVERVIEW
Safe Technologies International Inc. is a technology solutions company that specializes in providing managed technology solutions including online backup and disaster recovery for mission-critical data, remote technical support and Total Office℠ solutions that are provided on an outsourced, rapidly-deployed, fixed-cost basis to small and medium sized businesses. Our Strategic Data Support (“SDS”) brand provides customizable solutions that create significant cost efficiencies, dependable network functionality and complete redundancy through our disaster recovery facilities. The Company is driven to earn client trust by providing superior service embodied in a total commitment to relentless support and uncompromising standards, to differentiate us from our competitors and enable us to gain market share in today’s constrained spending environment. Our goal is to help organizations define and execute technology solutions to deliver a simpler, more cost effective solution to meet their unique IT needs. We possess a broad range of skills that equip us to deliver not just any solution, but the right solution.
We believe that the security, storage and systems management markets are converging as businesses increasingly seek one solution to manage their most valuable asset – their information. We help businesses ensure that their information and infrastructures are protected, managed easily, and controlled automatically.
Our technology solutions consist primarily of (a) workstation and server remote support, (b) backup and disaster recovery services, (c) office monitoring service plans (d) local and remote general technical services and, (e) website and email hosting services.
As reported in 2009, the Company’s restructuring included the naming of a new Board of Directors, appointment of a new President and a new Chief Financial Officer, effecting a 10 to 1 reverse stock split, reducing our authorized shares to 400,000,000, converting $2,169,742 of loans and interest due to a shareholder and his affiliates into equity of the Company, and securing a new trading symbol of SFAZ. This restructuring of the Company facilitated the development and introduction of the various technology solutions currently being marketed to small and mid sized businesses on an outsource basis.
Current new sales activity is a result of leads generated from the Company’s website, which we continue to develop and invest resources into, and from the efforts of several new independent contractor and commission based sales agents.
We currently have no employees. Our President, Christopher L. Kolb, and our Chief Financial Officer, Richard P. Sawick, are currently retained on an independent contractor basis. In addition, two commission-only based sales representatives were engaged in the first quarter of 2010.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the related service has been provided, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from recurring hosting services. The Company recognizes revenue for these services as they are provided, beginning on the date that the customer commences our services and continuing over the term of the customer contract. Revenue from other professional services, including setup and direct installation activities are recognized in the period the services are provided. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and either deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Therefore, deferred revenue consists of amounts that have been prepaid and services have not yet been rendered.
Share-based compensation
The Company records compensation expense for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For share options to certain officers and others, the Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the grant dates for stock option awards issued. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation. These variables and assumptions include the fair value of our common stock, expected term, the expected volatility, and certain present values.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues increased by $16,369 from $520 to $16,889 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The increase in revenues was primarily related to technical services fees charged to new customers in 2010.
Cost of operations increased by $5,223 from $3,300 to $8,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase resulted primarily from the new contracts with a hosting partner (commencing mid 2009) and a software license and service provider (commencing in early 2010). Cost of operations also includes approximately $300 in one-time hardware costs incurred in connection with technical service jobs. The minimum monthly contract hosting charges are being fully expensed until such time as revenues are consistent and the nature of the costs are appropriate to amortize over fully achieved base volumes. In so doing, the Company is poised for future growth without a compromise to its service level commitment. An annual contract prepayment of software license fees in February 2010 is being charged to cost of operations uniformly over the term of the contract.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $72,040 from $16,509 to $88,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months end March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to payments to the Company’s officers, which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2009. Legal and accounting fees incurred in the first quarter of 2010 were $17,395 as compared to $10,950 in the same period of 2009. Accordingly, the majority of the $88,549 of selling, general and administrative expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2010 consisted of $40,400 in officer compensation, a $9,168 charge to the first quarter as a result of the 2009 officer stock options being expensed over the vesting periods, $17,395 in legal and accounting fees, $8,900 in rent for the Company’s offices and $5,300 in software and development costs.
As of March 31, 2010, the principal amount of loans due to stockholder Franklin Frank was $192,764 with accrued interest at an annual rate of 8% totaling $4,148. As of March 31, 2009, the principal amount of the stockholder loans was $1,963,286 plus accrued interest at an annual rate of 12% in the amount of $57,697. As reported in 2009, all existing stockholder loans plus accrued interest were converted to equity. The loans existing as of March 31, 2010 were received incrementally by the Company between September 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010. Accordingly, our interest expense was dramatically decreased beginning in September 2009. The reduction in interest expense in 2010, as compared to 2009, will continue going forward, to the extent that significant new borrowings are not required.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15,749 and a working capital deficit of $187,707, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $6,032 and a working capital deficit of $114,403 as of December 31, 2009. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, our sources of cash were net revenues of $16,889 and new stockholder loans of $100,000. Accordingly, the Company continues to incur operating losses (loss before interest expense) as it endeavors to continue to build upon the growth achieved to date. The operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $80,183 as compared to $19,289 for the same period of 2009.
Internally generated cash flows continue to be insufficient to support business operations or capital expenditures. Our ability to generate cash depends on our financial performance, general economic conditions, technology trends and developments, and other factors. Until we generate significant new revenues, we will continue to operate at a loss and be dependent on stockholder Franklin Frank to fund all operating shortfalls, including our continuing investment in e-commerce, program development, and officer compensation.
There can be no assurance that our cash flow will increase in the near future from anticipated new business activities, or that revenues generated from our existing operations will be sufficient to allow us to continue to pursue new customer programs or profitable ventures.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
Not required.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2010 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, and a conclusion on this evaluation. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our President, as chief executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and 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 President and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
Based on its evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date because we have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures by segregating duties. This material weakness exists because we are currently a small company, with limited business operations to support multiple accounting personnel. As our business grows, we expect to add additional accounting personnel which will allow us to implement appropriate segregation of financial reporting duties. Regardless of the material weakness noted, we believe the accompanying financial statements present fairly our financial condition and results of operations in all material respects.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
