GREENLAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' equity in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000 was derived from the audited balance sheet at that date which is not presented herein. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Future Accounting Requirements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", which is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interests method in a business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company currently amortizes goodwill over twelve years and expects the adoption of SFAS No. 142 to eliminate the annual amortization of approximately $173,000 per year through December 31, 2010. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impairment test provisions of SFAS No. 142 and the effect on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the impairment provisions is not known.
Note 2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net working capital deficiency of approximately $1.7 million and a retained deficit of $25.6 million as of September 30, 2001. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s need for working capital is a key issue for management and necessary for the Company to meet its goals and objectives. The Company continues to meet its obligations and pursue additional capitalization opportunities. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in meeting its goals and objectives in the future.
During 2000 and 1999, the Company fully subscribed its private placement offering realizing $3.4 million in net proceeds. In addition, the Company realized $378 thousand from the exercise of Class A Warrants. There are still outstanding Class B Warrants exercisable at $1.00 and Class C Warrants exercisable at $1.50 (collectively, the “Warrants”). By letter dated June 18, 2001 the Company notified the holders of the Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement that they could exercise all or any portion of their warrants at an exercise price of $.033 per warrant (each warrant can be exercised into one share of common stock of Greenland Corporation) (the “Warrant Purchase Offer”). The holders had thirty days to exercise said warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company received $874 thousand through the exercise of options and warrants.
On March 28, 2001, the Company announced that it had entered an agreement with a NASD approved Underwriter, referred to in Company communications as an “institutional private equity investor,” under which the Underwriter agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock over the next three years. Generally, under the terms of the agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase such amounts of common stock as the Company elects to sell the Underwriter. The purchase price for the shares is generally the lesser of (1) the market price less $0.075 per share or (2) 93% of the market price. The agreement limits the amount of common shares that the Underwriter is obligated to purchase during any 61-day period to 9.9% of the total common shares outstanding and is subject to an overall cap of $35 million over the three-year term of the agreement. The Underwriter’s obligation to purchase shares terminates upon the occurrence of various events as specified in the agreement. The actual amount of common stock that the Underwriter may purchase is dependant on, among other things, (1) the market price of the Company’s stock and (2) whether a termination event occurs. The agreement must be registered and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In consideration for executing the agreement, the Underwriter will receive warrants to purchase 5,390,000 shares of Common stock. The Company has recorded a $138 thousand expense for issuance of the warrants. There can be no assurance that the Company will sell any stock to the Underwriter under the terms of the agreement.
As discussed in Note 16, the Company is in a dispute regarding the ownership of software technology paid for by Greenland Corporation, which Seren Systems, Inc. has refused to deliver and/or make available to the Company. As a result, Greenland Corporation has been unable to fulfill its obligations with respect to certain purchase orders and/or contracts. The Company filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against Seren Systems, Inc. with respect to the abovementioned dispute. The Company remains confident that Greenland Corporation will obtain the substantive determination necessary to obtain the return of its property. However, the Company is actively seeking a settlement that would be beneficial to the Company’s ability to continue its business operations.
Note 3. INVENTORIES
Inventories at September 30, 2001 were as follows:
Raw materials | $ | 308 | |
Work-in-progress | -0- | |
Finished goods | 20 | |
| 328 | |
Less allowance for obsolescence | (43 | ) |
| | |
| $ | 285 | |
Inventories are stated at lower of cost, first-in first-out basis or market. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels.
Note 4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company entered into an agreement with CardPlus International, Inc., the nation’s only certified minority electronic payments processor. Pursuant to the agreement CardPlus purchased six interactive check cashing Maxcash ™ Automated Banking Machine kiosks. These terminals are to be processed from CardPlus’ Denver Colorado electronic transaction and data processing center. This transaction is the first purchase under the Company’s ongoing strategy to aggressively pursue sales of the Maxcash ABM to customers that have their own processing capabilities.
Note 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Net property and equipment at September 30, 2001 was as follows:
Computers and equipment | | $ | 145 | |
Furniture & equipment under capital leases | | 537 | |

Depreciation expense, including amortization of capital lease assets, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $53 and $207 thousand (including $65 thousand on furniture and equipment under capital leases).
Note 6. LONG TERM NOTES RECEIVABLE
During 1999, the Company exchanged 1.1 million convertible preferred shares in a public company for notes receivable valued at $1.9 million with interest at 9%. The Company has substantial doubt about the collectibility of the notes and established a 100% allowance at December 31, 1999. The Company does not recognize interest income on impaired notes.
Note 7. INVESTMENTS
On September 28, 2001 the Company purchased 100,000 shares of common stock, representing five percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, of ZZYZX Peripherals, Inc (the “ZZYZX Shares”). The Company acquired the ZZYZX Shares for 60 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred shares of the Company (the “Company Shares”). The investment is carried at a cost of $600,000 determined by fair value of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and exchanged. Investment is adjusted for decline in fair value that is other than temporary. Mr. Gene Cross is a Director and Shareholder of Greenland and a Director and shareholder of ZZYZX. Of the ZZYZX Shares purchased by Greenland, Mr. Cross owned 20,000 shares. Mr. Frank Kavanaugh, a Director and shareholder of ZZYZX, controls DK Capital and Bet Trust and is a shareholder of Greenland Corporation. Of the ZZYZX Shares purchased by Greenland, DK Capital and Bet Trust together owned 40,000 shares.
At April 16, 2001 the Company sold all of its investments in common stock of Telenetics Corporation. The common stock was carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company realized $397 thousand of losses and $164 thousand of proceeds from sales of shares in the investment. Cost is determined based on specific identification.
Note 8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets at September 30, 2001 consisted of the following:
Capitalized software costs | | $ | 1,014 | |
Licenses | | 675 | |
Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired | | 2,079 | |
| | 3,768 | |
| | | |
Less accumulated amortization | | 1,089 | |
| | | |
| | $ | 2,679 | |
During 1998, as part of the purchase of the net assets of Check Central, Inc., the Company acquired licenses to use certain software in the development of check cashing machines. The Company is amortizing these licenses over 5 years. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was capitalized and is being amortized over 12 years.
The Company amortizes capitalized software costs over 5 years. At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, net intangible assets of the Company include $588 thousand of software developed by Seren Systems, Inc. (see Note 16).
The Company reviews its intangibles for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Management evaluates assets for impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets. If impairment exists, the amount of impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceed it’s fair value. Management evaluated its intangible asset for impairment and no impairment loss was recognized in the three month and nine month ended September 30, 2001. Due to industry conditions, it is at least reasonably possible that the impairment estimate will change in the near term.

Note 16. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 12, 2000, the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against Seren Systems, Inc. The Complaint sought preliminary relief in a dispute regarding the ownership of software technology paid for by the Company, which Seren Systems, Inc. has refused to deliver and/or make available to the Company. As a result, the Company has been unable to fulfill its obligations with respect to certain purchase orders and/or contracts, with respect to the above mentioned dispute. The November 26, 1998 Consulting Agreement by and between the Company and Seren Systems, Inc. stipulates that any controversy between the parties shall be settled by binding arbitration. A hearing date originally scheduled for September 17, 2001 was postponed by mutual agreement of both Seren and the Company. The Company has been and presently is, engaged in settlement discussions with Seren and no new hearing date has been scheduled. In addition to the return of its property, the Company seeks actual damages in the amount of approximately $1.5 million, including the return of payments made to Seren as a subcontractor for Greenland on the ACS/7-Eleven V.com project; Seren Systems has counterclaimed for damages in the amount of $700,000.
On March 23, 2001 Arthur Kazarian, Trustee for the General Wood Investment Trust (the “Landlord”) filed a Complaint in San Diego County naming Greenland Corporation as a defendant. The Complaint alleges Unlawful Detainer. On or about May 1, 2001 the Company paid $45,000 to the Landlord and entered into a judgment to pay an additional $15,000 of legal fees. The Company has entered into a settlement agreement to pay legal fees of $12,000. The Company has paid the settlement amount in full.
On May 23, 2001 the Company filed a Complaint in San Diego County naming Michael Armani as the defendant. The Complaint alleges breach of contract by Michael Armani in connection with two separate stock purchase agreements. The Company seeks damages in the amount of $474,595. On August 7, 2001 the Company filed a request for Entry of Default against Mr. Armani in the amount of $474,595 and the court granted entry of default. Subsequently Mr. Armani filed a motion to set aside the entry of default and on October 26, 2001 the court granted said motion and the entry of default was set aside. The court granted Mr. Armani 10 days to file a responsive to the Company’s Compliant. The Company is not yet in receipt of said filing.
On May 23, 2001 Arthur Kazarian, Trustee for the General Wood Investment Trust (the “Landlord”) filed a Complaint in San Diego County naming Greenland Corporation as a defendant. The Complaint alleges breach of contract pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement between the Company and the Landlord for the real property located at 1935 Avenida Del Oro, Oceanside, California and previously occupied by the Company. The Complaint seeks damages in the amount of approximately $500,000. Although the Company remains liable for the payments remaining for the term of the lease, the Landlord has a duty to mitigate said damages. The Company recorded a lease termination liability of $212 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company has retained outside counsel for representation in this matter and settlement discussions are presently being conducted.
On July 5, 2001 Max Farrow filed a Complaint in San Diego County naming Greenland Corporation, Thomas J. Beener, Intelli-Group, Inc., Intelli-Group LLC and Intelli-Corp, Inc. as defendants. The Complaint alleges breach of contract in connection with Mr. Farrow’s resignation as an officer and director of the Company in January 2001. The Company believes that the Company and Mr. Beener have valid defense to the allegations of Mr. Farrow. Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that it will successfully defend this legal action and that the outcome will not have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company's officers and directors are aware of no other threatened or pending litigation, which would have a material, adverse effect on the Company. From time to time the Company is a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company, along with Seren Systems (“Seren”), its then current and primary software developer and supplier for its own ABM terminals, was in the process of completing development of the check cashing service interface to the Mosaic Software host system being implemented to support a large network of V.com terminals. In September 2000, Seren unilaterally halted testing and effectively shut-down any further check cashing development for the V.com project. The parties participating in this project may have been financially damaged, related to the delay in performance by the Company and Seren. None of the parties have brought suit against the Company and/or Seren at this time. There is no assurance, however, that such suit(s) will not be brought in the future.

INTRODUCTION
The following discussion pertains to the Company's operations and financial condition as of September 30, 2001, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.
The Company is engaged in the development of proprietary software that is capable of providing support and delivery of a range of on-line financial services to consumers, including: check cashing, ATM, wire transfers, bill pay, money orders, and phone card dispensing services. The Company has developed, manufactured and delivered limited numbers of freestanding kiosks under its trademarked brand name MAXcash ABM. The Company acquired its base technology in May 1998, when Check Central was incorporated into Greenland Corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Company’s initial strategy had been oriented around two revenue streams:(1) the sale of its MAXcash ABM machines; and (2) generation of fees in connection with the various banking services provided on each of the machines in operation. Fees range from $0.35 per transaction to 6% of the value of the transaction. However, without sufficient numbers of machines in the field, this revenue stream did not produce material results.
The Company's strategy for marketing and sales of the MAXCash ABM, during fiscal 2000, was directed at locating distributors of ATM machines and entering on its distribution agreements. This strategy enabled the Company to concentrate its resources on product development and support. The Company has signed a number of such agreements (37 to date). However, significant unit sales have not materialized to date due primarily to the uncertainty caused by its dispute with Seren Systems. (Also see “Legal Matters.”)
Management determined that its efforts to develop, produce, and successfully market and support its MAXcash ABM system may be beyond the scope of its currently available resources. On April 2, 2001, the Company announced that it was temporarily suspending its Check Central subsidiary check cashing operations until such time as the integration of the Company’s Check Central software with the MAXcash operating system was complete, in order to minimize its check cashing risk, reduce operating losses, and to conserve capital.
The Company has invested, and continues to invest substantial resources in the ongoing development of its back-office, risk management, and transaction support software systems. The Company hopes to expand its scope from manufacturing, distribution, and support of its proprietary MAXcash ABM to also providing support for the ABM-like terminals of other manufacturers. Furthermore, the Company believes that it can be successful in providing back-office software and on-line transaction support to other hardware vendors and retailers through a network and software system of its own design.
The Company's long-term goal is to participate in the multi-billion dollar check cashing market by offering an open-architecture POS/check cashing transaction processing platform, either for self-service or clerk-assisted transactions. In addition to Greenland’s support for its MAXcash ABM kiosk, the Company plans to broaden its market focus and reposition itself as a leading provider of back-office transactions software and support services to the check cashing, retail, and POS transaction industries – including check approval and guarantee services, merchant POS services, ATM transaction processing, money order and prepaid phone card dispensing, wire transfer, bill pay and other products and services.
In order to accomplish its objectives, the Company has entered into several strategic partnerships for the continued development and sales of hardware systems (ABM-like machines), POS transaction software (the back-office), all to reside on third-party-supplied host platforms. This strategy is expected to reduce Greenland’s ongoing business risk.
As resources permit, management hopes to further the development of its proprietary back-office risk management operations to support fully automated POS check cashing approval and guarantee services. The proposed processing architecture will be reengineered as an open platform systems environment in order to provide support for multiple existing ATM and POS vendors. The Company hopes to leverage the direct sale forces of other large-scale, national hardware manufacturers to sell its system.
On May 8, 2001 the Company announced that it signed a software license and support agreement with Florida-based Mosaic Software for use of its PostilionÔ systems platform to provide transaction routing and switching software for the Company’s interactive check cashing MAXcash ABM kiosks, as well as for traditional ATM, advanced ATM and point-of-sale (POS) terminals manufactured by other companies. The software provides a scalable foundation for the Company’s new strategy of providing services to and through multiple hardware platforms. By supporting virtually all major ATM hardware vendors, such as NCR, Diebold, Tidel, IBM, and Verifone (Hewlett Packard), the Company will have the opportunity to work with third-party sales channels to generate transaction processing revenues. The agreement expired on or about August 1, 2001. The parties have negotiated an extension through December 31, 2001on terms materially similar to the terms of the previous agreement. If fully implemented, management projects total cost of the services provided pursuant to the term of the agreement to be approximately $1.3 million.
The Mosaic system is a fully integrated Microsoft WindowsÔ NT-based applications suite that facilitates transaction management and network communication between free-standing financial services machines such as the Company’s MAXcash ABM, the Postilion host, and the Company’s Check Central back-office risk management system and call center.
On June 5, 2001 the Company entered into an exclusive software development and support agreement with Trilicom Data Solutions to provide device-level software for the Company’s interactive check cashing Maxcash ABM, as well as to provide systems integration services for independent check cashers, grocers, and other Greenland customers. This will allow the Company to continue sales and support of its Maxcash ABM terminals while the Company rebuilds it’s host and back-office transaction support infrastructure with Mosaic Software. The agreement provides for payment through a combination of company stock and equity funding as it becomes available.
On June 26, 2001, the Company entered into an exclusive manufacturing and assembly agreement with California Chassis, Inc., to build Greenland’s interactive check cashing Maxcash ABM.
On September 28, 2001, the Company invested $600,000 in ZZYZX Peripherals, Inc. to establish a strategic relationship designed to support the data storage needs of self-service check cashing for the Company and its customers. Data storage is an integral part of the check cashing systems and related technology requirements (see Note 7).
Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company reported total revenues of $0 and $189 thousand from its two segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. This represents an $86 thousand decrease, or 100%, from the three months ended September 30, 2000, and a $372 thousand, or 66%, decrease from the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Company’s sales operations for its principal product, the Maxcash ABM, was temporarily suspended primarily due to a legal dispute with its software provider and the associated financial risks to the Company represented by the dispute.
The Company earned revenues from the sale and rental of ABM’s and related products of $173 thousand and $236 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, respectively. The Company sold seven ABM’s in 2001, and ten ABMs in 2000.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company incurred total costs of revenues of $133 thousand and $650 thousand from its two segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The costs incurred in the sales segment were $175 thousand and $743 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, respectively. This $568 thousand, or 76%, decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in direct material and overhead costs as a result of decreased machine production. Manufacturing costs include fixed overhead expenses for items such as supervision, testing, and facilities, as well as the direct cost of the machines sold. The gross margin on machine sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, was $(2) thousand and $(507) thousand. Management had anticipated greater improvements in the gross margin on machine sales as a result of sales volume increasing to a level sufficient to absorb overhead costs. Such increases did not materialize.
Costs associated with transaction processing, included in cost of sales, were $475 thousand and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, resulting in gross margins on transaction revenue of $(459) thousand and $(1.5) million, respectively. Processing costs included fixed overhead expenses such as the amortization of software development costs, depreciation, labor, and communications. Management anticipates improvements in the gross margin as an increased number of machines are placed in the field, and the Company benefits from the associated economies of scale.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $687 thousand and $2.9 million, respectively, compared to $857 thousand and $3.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2000.
Research and Development Costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $2 thousand and $87 thousand, respectively, decreased 99% and 84%, respectively, from the comparative periods in 2000, which reflect the Company’s temporary discontuation of it support for the Maxcash ABM product.
In March 2000, the Company repurchased the exclusive distribution rights to the Master Distribution Agreement with SmartCash ATM, Ltd. (SmartCash). In consideration, the Company agreed to loan SmartCash $200 thousand collateralized by 333 thousand shares of Greenland Corporation common stock, release certain restrictions on Company common stock held by SmartCash, issue warrants to purchase 500 thousand shares of Company common stock, and continue to pay commissions on sales of machines sold by certain sales representatives until the earlier of March 2002, or said commissions equal $320 thousand. During December 2000, the Company fully reserved against the $200 thousand note receivable given the probability of collection from SmartCash, and the decrease in the value of the Company’s collateral. In addition, the Company issued SmartCash a note payable for $320 thousand that will be repaid through the payment of the commissions noted above. During March 2000 the Company recorded a $320 thousand expense on this transaction.
Other Expense
Net other expense of $66 thousand and $970 thousand for the three month and nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $62 thousand and $894 thousand from the corresponding period in 2000. Expenses incurred in 2001 included a $519 thousand loss on the sale of assets, a $212 thousand expense accrued for future lease payments potentially due under the Company’s terminated office space operating lease, and a $138 thousand expense accrued for warrant costs due under the equity funding agreement.
Net Loss
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $886 thousand and $4.3 million, respectively, which represents a 42% and 24% decrease in losses from continuing operations, respectively, from the comparative periods in 2000. Losses were reduced due primarily to reduced cost of good sold associated with temporary discontuation of its Maxcash ABM sales and support efforts.
Future Accounting Requirements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No 141, "Business Combinations", which is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 eliminates the use of the pooling-of-interests method in a business combination. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. The Company currently amortizes goodwill over twelve years and expects the adoption of SFAS No. 142 to eliminate the annual amortization of approximately $173,000 per year through December 31, 2010. The Company has not completed its analysis of the impairment test provisions of SFAS No. 142 and the effect on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the impairment provisions is not known.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has financed its operations through cash generated from the sale of equity securities and debt financing. To date, the Company has not been able to support its operations from revenues through sales of products or services.
At September 30, 2001, the Company’s had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.7 million compared with a working capital deficit of $1.1 million at December 31, 2000. This increase of $568 thousand, or 50%, resulted primarily from a increase in accrued expenses of $400 thousand. Stockholders’ equity decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from December 31, 2000 by $738 thousand, or 27%, due primarily to the $4.3 million net loss, which was offset by increased paid-in-capital of $4.2 million.
The Company's officers and directors are aware of no other threatened or pending litigation, not otherwise discussed in Item 1, Legal Matters, which would have a material, adverse effect on the Company. From time to time the Company is a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company’s auditors have expressed their uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. They cite recurring losses from operations, the Company’s working capital deficiency, and limited cash resources.
In order to address this uncertainty, the Company has taken steps to raise additional funds to finance its operations, including the potential for making strategic acquisitions, which could better position the Company for growth.
On March 28, 2001, the Company announced that it had entered an agreement with a NASD approved Underwriter, referred to in Company communications as an “institutional private equity investor,” under which the Underwriter agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock over the next three years. Generally, under the terms of the agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase such amounts of common stock as the Company elects to sell the Underwriter. The purchase price for the shares is generally the lesser of (1) the market price less $0.075 per share or (2) 93% of the market price. The agreement limits the amount of common shares that the Underwriter is obligated to purchase during any 61-day period to 9.9% of the total common shares outstanding and is subject to an overall cap of $35 million over the three-year term of the agreement. The Underwriter’s obligation to purchase shares terminates upon the occurrence of various events as specified in the agreement. The actual amount of common stock that the Underwriter may purchase is dependant on, among other things, (1) the market price of the Company’s stock and (2) whether a termination event occurs. The agreement must be registered and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In consideration for executing the agreement, the Underwriter will receive warrants to purchase 5,390,000 shares of Common stock. The company has recorded a $138 thousand expense for issuance of the warrants. There can be no assurance that the Company will any sell stock to the Underwriter under the terms of the agreement.
During 2000 and 1999, the Company fully subscribed its private placement offering realizing $3.4 million in net proceeds. In addition, the Company realized $378 thousand from the exercise of Class A Warrants. There are still outstanding Class B Warrants exercisable at $1.00 and Class C Warrants exercisable at $1.50 (collectively, the “Warrants”).. By letter dated June 18, 2001 the Company notified the holders all the warrants issued pursuant to the private placement that they could exercise all or any portion of their warrants at an exercise price of $.033 per warrant (each warrant can be exercised into one share of common stock of Greenland Corporation) (the “Warrant Purchase Offer”). The holders had thirty days to exercise said warrants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 the Company received $874 thousand through the exercise of options and warrants.
On April 2, 2001, the Company announced that it was temporarily suspending its check cashing operations in order to minimize its check cashing risk, reduce operating losses, and to conserve capital.

The Complaint seeks damages in the amount of approximately $500,000. Although the Company remains liable for the payments remaining for the term of the lease, the Landlord has a duty to mitigate said damages. The Company recorded a lease termination liability of $212 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company has retained outside counsel for representation in this matter and settlement discussions are presently being conducted.
On July 5, 2001 Max Farrow filed a Complaint in San Diego County naming Greenland Corporation, Thomas J. Beener, Intelli-Group, Inc., Intelli-Group LLC and Intelli-Corp, Inc. as defendants. The Complaint alleges breach of contract in connection with Mr. Farrow’s resignation as an officer and director of the Company in January 2001. The Company believes that the Company and Mr. Beener have valid defense to the allegations of Mr. Farrow. Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes that it will successfully defend this legal action and that the outcome will not have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company's officers and directors are aware of no other threatened or pending litigation, which would have a material, adverse effect on the Company. From time to time the Company is a defendant (actual or threatened) in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position results of operations, or cash flows.
