Insynq, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
August 31, 2002
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Condensed Financial Statements
Insynq, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tacoma, Washington USA. The Company is an application hosting and managed software service provider that provides server-based computing access and services to customers who decide to augment all or part of their information technology requirements. Customers pay a monthly fee for their services and connect to Company’s server farm primarily through either the Internet, wireless or DSL connection.
On February 18, 2000, the Company closed an asset purchase transaction (Acquisition) in which Xcel Management, Inc. (Xcel), a non-operating public shell company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Company. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Acquisition was considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the Acquisition was equivalent to the issuance of stock by the Company for the net monetary assets of Xcel accompanied by a recapitalization, and was accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the Acquisition was identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill was recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the post-reverse-acquisition financial statements of the “legal acquirer” Xcel, are those of the “legal acquiree” Insynq (the accounting acquirer).
On August 3, 2000, Xcel completed a re-incorporation as a Delaware corporation and changed its’ name to Insynq, Inc. In connection with the re-incorporation, the stockholders unanimously voted for the adoption of a plan of re-capitalization pursuant to which the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, would forward split, two-for-one, so that holders of common stock would receive two shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock for each share held. The 9,915,424 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the reorganization were converted to 19,830,848 shares of common stock, and outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares were converted into options and warrants entitling the holders to purchase twice as many shares upon exercise of such options and warrants. Loss per share calculations includes the Company’s change in capital structure for all periods presented.
The condensed financial statements as of August 31, 2002 and for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. The results of operations for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed balance sheet information as of May 31, 2002 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB. The interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
Note 2 - Going Concern and Management Plans
The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2002 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the three months ended August 31, 2002, the Company has a net loss of $864,372 and a negative cash flow from operations of $252,755. The Company had a working capital deficit of $6,155,959 and a stockholders’ deficit of $5,693,975 at August 31, 2002. The Company’s working capital deficit as of August 31, 2002 may not enable it to meet certain financial objectives as presently structured.
As of August 31, 2002, the Company is in default on a capitalized lease obligation, six related party notes payable and two convertible debentures. The assets of the underlying lease are critical to the Company’s operations. The Company has initiated contact to restructure the lease obligation, and, due to the current economic climate and current market for the equipment, the Company anticipates that it can successfully restructure this obligation. As a
7
contingency plan for the backup of this equipment, the Company entered into another equipment lease agreement in August 2001 for similar equipment to support its customer base. The Company is past due on six related party notes payable with principal totaling approximately $1,307,400, and two convertible debentures with a face value of $573,950. Total accrued interest related to these obligations is approximately $291,100. In addition, the Company has a letter of intent from one related party to convert approximately $1,300,000 of principle and accrued interest into preferred stock.
The development and marketing of the Company’s technology and products will continue to require a commitment of substantial funds. Currently, pursuant to Item 303(b)(1) and (3) of Regulation SB, the Company has no material capital commitments. However, should the Company be forced to seek other equipment in the open market, based on its inability to restructure its capital lease obligation, the Company would attempt to raise the necessary finances. These amounts, however, are currently not quantifiable.
The Company has retained legal counsel for representation in current negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding an Offer In Compromise and eventually structuring a payment plan for past due taxes. The IRS has required the Company to meet certain conditions in order to proceed with the offer and negotiations, one of which is to be current on all payroll tax deposits and reporting. If the Company is unsuccessful in its offer, the IRS could seize and sell some, if not all, the assets of the Company or the Company will be forced to file for bankruptcy.
The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company is devoting its efforts into establishing a business in the new emerging Managed Services Provider industry. The Company is establishing alliances with Independent Software Vendors and Internet Service Providers to provide access to their applications for their customers and building new channels for marketing products to potential customers. As a result of these new alliances and products, the Company will be able to provide additional and enhanced services to customers. The Company is continuing to develop new products to enable the deployment of and on going management of the Company services. In addition, on December 21, 2001, the Company completed negotiations with a national communication corporation. After another year of market testing and product development, the telecommunication firm has agreed to go to market with these services. These bundled services or products will be delivered on a subscription basis.
The Company successfully implemented cost containment strategies and continues to devote significant efforts in the development of new products and opening new markets. Also, the Company continues to contact vendors with past due account balances with the intention of settling the balance due for cash at either less than face or structure a long-term payment plan. To date, Company negotiations to settle creditors’ debts have been very favorable and well received.
However, the rate at which the Company expends its resources is variable, may be accelerated, and will depend on many factors. The Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund its operations and may seek such additional funding through public or private equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that such additional funding, if any, will be available on acceptable terms. The Company’s continued existence as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon its ability to secure additional funding for completing and marketing its technology and products, and, therefore, the success of its future operations.
Note 3 - Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding available to common stockholders during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 63,679,099 and 35,663,143 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001. The computation for loss per common share, assuming dilution, for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, was anti-dilutive, and therefore, is not included.
Note 4 - Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities consist of the following at as of August 31, 2002:
8
Salaries and benefits | $ | 297,106 |
Taxes | | |
Payroll | | 471,830 |
Business | | 112,420 |
Penalties and interest | | 246,030 |
Interest | | 366,462 |
Licenses, consulting and other | | 434,043
|
| $ | 1,927,891
|
As of August 31, 2002, the Company was delinquent on approximately $816,000 of its payroll and business taxes and related penalties and interest. The majority of the past due amount, or approximately $670, 000, is for payroll taxes, penalties and interest due to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In April 2002, the IRS filed a Federal Tax Lien on the assets of the Company for all past due employment taxes, penalties and accrued interest. The Company has submitted anOffer In Compromise (OIC)to the Internal Revenue Service seeking relief on a portion of its overall obligation and structure a payment plan on the settled amount of taxes due. The OIC is subject to the Company remaining current on all current and future payroll tax deposits and reporting. Unless the Company and the IRS agree to a mutually agreeable workout, the IRS could take possession of the Company’s assets or the Company will be forced to file for bankruptcy.
The Company has consummated workout arrangements with four state taxing agencies for past due taxes. As of August 31, 2002, the Company owes approximately $58,000 pursuant to these workout agreements. Terms of these workouts require monthly payments ranging from $290 to $1,000, to include varying rates of interest, over periods ranging from ten to twenty-four months. Three of the above state taxing agencies filed either a warrant or a lien with local county authorities to protect its position during their respective workout periods.
Additionally, two liens have been filed by two other states for past due taxes, plus accrued penalties and interest. One lien, for approximately $28,000, is to a state for prior year’s income taxes assessed to the predecessor company of Insynq, Inc. This amount has been disputed and amended returns to correct this deficiency have been filed, but not yet approved. The second lien is to another state for payroll taxes, penalties and interest totaling approximately $30,000. The Company has submitted a proposal for a workout settlement on this state’s payroll taxes but has not yet received either acceptance or rejection of its offer.
Note 5 - Notes Receivables - Officers
In January 2002, the Company entered into two promissory notes totaling $90,000 with two of its officers in conjunction with the exercising of non qualified class A common stock options. Each note bears interest at 12% per annum, payable on or before June 2003 and is secured with 5,000,000 shares of class A common stock As of August 31, 2002 total accrued interest is approximately $6,500.
Note 6 - Related Party Notes Payable
The Company has short-term promissory notes with stockholders, a corporate officer, and a prior employee. All related party notes, plus accrued interest, were due within one year or on demand and consist of the following at August 31, 2002:
9
Note payable to stockholder, past due, originally due November 2, 2001, plus accrued interest; bearing interest at 10% and is unsecured. The Company has received a letter of intent to convert the principle and the accrued interest, totaling approximately $1,300,000, into preferred stock | | $ | 1,162,000 |
| | | |
Various notes payable to related parties, past due, with various due dates ranging through April 20, 2002; bearing default interest randing from 18% to 21%, and are unsecured | | | 147,528
|
| | $ | 1,309,528
|
Note 7 - Notes Payable
The Company has a $15,000 revolving line of credit with a bank. As of August 31, 2002, the balance was $14,764. This note is unsecured and bears interest at prime plus 6%. Prime at August 31, 2002 was 4.75%. The outstanding amount is included in notes payable in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company has two notes payable to two vendors. Both notes are past due. Monthly installment payments were $1,692, including default interest at 18%, and are unsecured. At August 31, 2002, the outstanding balance of the notes amounted to $6,556, and is included in notes payable in the accompanying balance sheet.
Note 8 - Convertible Debentures
On June 29, 2001, the Company entered into a private financing transaction with three investors for a total of $1,200,000, 12% convertible debentures. The debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the lesser of (i) $0.18 or (ii) the average of the lowest three trading prices in the twenty-day trading period immediately preceding the notice to convert, discounted by fifty percent (50%). The convertible debentures carry attached warrants that allow the investor, under the terms of the warrants, to purchase up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock at $0.04 per share. The terms of the debentures provide for full payment on or before one year from the date of issuance, plus accrued interest at 12% per annum. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company may not, without consent, (i) engage in any future equity financing involving the issuance of common stock for a period of six months from the date of closing, and (ii) may not engage in such transactions for a period of two years without first giving the investors the opportunity to purchase shares on a pro-rata basis. As of August 31, 2002 two issuances of convertible debentures totaling $573,950 plus accrued interest of approximately $57,200 matured on June 29, 2002 and August 14, 2002. These obligations were to be converted into cash and/or common stock on or before the conversion (maturity) date. These two financial instruments are in default and are subject to default interest at fifteen percent (15%) per annum.
On January 24, 2002, the Company entered into a second agreement to issue $550,000, 12% convertible debentures, and 2,200,000 warrants. The debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the lesser of (i) $0.008 or (ii) the average of the lowest three trading prices in the twenty-day trading period immediately preceding the notice to convert, discounted by 50%. The convertible debentures carry attached warrants that allow the investor, under the terms of the warrants, to purchase up to 2,200,000 shares of common stock at the lesser of $0.007 per share or the average of the lowest three trading prices during the twenty trading days immediately prior to exercise. Terms of the debentures provide for full payment on or before one year from the date of issuance, plus accrued interest at 12% per annum. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company may not, without consent, (i) engage in any future equity financing involving the issuance of common stock for a period of six months from the date of closing, and (ii) may not engage in such transactions for a period of two years without first giving the investors the opportunity to purchase shares on a pro-rata basis. In July 2002 the Company received $250,000 of debentures from this agreement and issued 1,000,000 warrants. The Company also recorded discounts of $250,000, equal to the fair value of the convertible debentures and warrants as determined using the Black Scholes pricing model and the intrinsic
10
value of the beneficial conversion features. As of August 31, 2002, the Company has received $550,000 from the issuance of these secured convertible debentures.
As of August 31, 2002, investors have purchased a total of $1,750,000 of convertible debentures, and have converted $76,050 of debentures and $27,993 of accrued interest into 19,323,243 shares of common stock.
For the three months ended August 31, 2002, the Company recognized $292,192 of interest expense on the discounts of the convertible debentures. The unamortized discount at August 31, 2002 is $416,779.
See also Note 15 – Subsequent Events, for additional disclosures on secured convertible debentures issued September 27, 2002 and the maturity of $150,000 of convertible debentures on October 17, 2002.
Note 9 - Capital Lease Obligation
The Company is in default on a capital lease obligation. Accordingly, the lease has been classified as a current obligation.
Note 10 - Common Stock
On November 19, 2001, by a majority vote of the stockholders, The Company authorized an additional 150,000,000 shares of common stock, increasing the total to 250,000,000. Outstanding shares of common stock at August 31, 2002 totaled 66,520,503.
Outstanding warrants and options to purchase shares of common stock as of August 31, 2002 totaled 30,865,603.
Note 11 - Stock Options
On March 31, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted two long-term incentive plans (Plans), described as follows:
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
The LTIP provides for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants. At the adoption of this plan, the Company set aside 16,675,300 shares of common stock, which may be issued upon the exercise of options granted. On November 19, 2001 the shareholders approved an amendment to the LTIP, which would set aside an additional 15,000,000 shares of common stock for a total of 31,675,300 shares of common stock, which may be issued upon the exercise of options granted. As of August 31, 2002, options available for issuance are 10,069,587 and outstanding options granted totaled 13,660,343.
2000 Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (Executive LTIP)
The Executive LTIP provides for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to executive officers of the Company. The Company set aside 5,400,000 shares of class A common stock under this plan at its adoption. On December 10, 2001, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to re-price all of the Executive LITP stock options from an exercise price of $0.50 per share to an exercise price of $0.018 per share, which was the fair market value on December 10, 2001. On January 31, 2002, all outstanding non-qualified stock options totaling 5,000,000 shares were exercised into class A common stock in exchange for promissory notes totaling $90,000. In accordance with GAAP, because of the reduction of the exercise price and the consideration received by the Company, two non-recourse promissory notes collateralized by the shares to be issued, these transactions are accounted for as modifications of the original option agreements requiring variable accounting and the promissory notes are classified as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.
Note 12 - Warrants
Warrants outstanding to purchase common stock as of August 31, 2002 totaled 17,205,260.
11
Note 13 - Contingencies and Commitments
On September 6, 2001, the Company was served with a summons and complaint by its former landlords, asserting: (a.) a breach of a settlement agreement entered into in May 2001 to register 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $80,000, in partial settlement of its then existing lease, and, (b.) a default by the Company on two new long-term lease obligations. Terms of the first lease call for base monthly payments of $12,046 for the period of August 1, 2001 to July 31, 2006, plus triple net charges estimated at approximately $3,038 per month and beginning in year two, an increase equal to the change in the annual consumer price index but not less than annual increase of 3%. Minimum aggregate lease payments and triple net charges approximate $954,500 over the term of the lease. Terms of the second lease call for monthly payments, beginning in June 2001 of approximately $4,000 per month, or a total of $80,000 for the remaining term of the lease from August 1, 2001 to May 31, 2003. On October 4, 2001, the Company’s former landlords filed a summons and complaint with local jurisdictional court for a summary judgment motion on all claims. All claims under this motion were initially denied. However, on May 10, 2002, the Court awarded a partial summary judgment in favor of the former landlords for approximately $170,000. The Company has previously recorded approximately $170,000 of expense related to this award. The Company anticipates filing a motion to request the Court to vacate the partial summary judgment in light of new evidence and/or appeal the Court’s decision.
It is the opinion of management and its legal counsel that the settlement agreement signed in May 2001 requiring the signing of the two new leases was entered into under economic duress, based on misrepresentation, and, was signed in bad faith on the part of the former landlords. As such, it is management’s opinion that the settlement agreement and the two lease agreements are void.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will be that the former landlords will not be successful in their assertions under their claim(s). Any additional claim under this dispute is not recognized in the accompanying financial statements. The Company denies the allegations under this claim and believes this claim is without merit and intends to continuously and vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On October 9, 2002, the Company settled an alleged grievance filed by a former employee for $30,000.

Note 15 - Subsequent Events
On September 27, 2002 the Company entered into an agreement to sell $450,000 of 12% secured convertible debentures and for each one dollar ($1.00) invested, two warrants will be issued to purchase two shares of common stock. The convertible debentures will mature and become due one year from the date of issuance. As of October 17, 2002 the Company issued $120,000 convertible debentures and 240,000 warrants.
On October 17, 2002, a convertible debenture with a face value of $150,000 matured. Terms of the agreement call for conversion of this debenture into cash and/or common stock on or before the conversion (maturity) date. As of the date of this report the Company is in default in payment on the principal and the related accrued interest of approximately $15,535. Since this financial instrument is in default, it is subject to default interest at fifteen percent (15%) per annum.
Re-capitalization and Reorganization. By unanimous vote of the Board of Directors on July 25, 2002, the Company was authorized to re-incorporate in the state of Nevada on/or about November 18, 2002 for the purpose of providing greater flexibility and simplicity to corporate transactions, reduce taxes and other costs of doing business, reduce the amount of short sales of the common stock, reduce the amount of issued and outstanding common stock, and to provide management a controlling security interest. In order to accomplish the re-incorporation, in accordance with the laws of the states of Delaware and Nevada, the Company will merge into, and with, its wholly owned subsidiary, Insynq, Inc. (Nevada), formed under the laws of the state of Nevada pursuant to a formal Plan of Merger. Under terms of the Plan of Merger, Insynq, Inc. (Nevada) will be the surviving corporation and Insynq, Inc. (Delaware) will be the terminated corporation.
On July 25, 2002, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of a series of preferred stock designated Series A Convertible Preferred in the amount 2,100,000 shares with a par value of $0.001, which designation was filed and became affective in October, 2002. Each share is entitled to vote 50
13
times the number of common stock, and, is convertible upon the merger, initially, at the rate of 10 shares of common stock for each full share of Convertible Preferred Stock.
Under the terms of the Plan of Merger, each issued share of common stock of Insynq, Inc. (Delaware) will be converted into one-hundredth (.01) share of the surviving company, Insynq, Inc. (Nevada). Options, warrants and convertible securities to purchase common stock of the Company will also be exchanged for similar securities issued by Insynq, Inc. (Nevada) without adjustment as to the number of shares issuable or the total exercise price.

Overview
We were originally incorporated as Xcel Management, Inc. in the state of Utah on May 22, 1980, under the name Ward’s Gas & Oil, to engage in the oil and gas business, which business was terminated a few years after operations commenced. Xcel then changed its name to Palace Casinos, Inc. and from November 1992 until approximately 1995, it was engaged, through its wholly owned subsidiary, in the development of a dockside gaming facility in Biloxi, Mississippi. On December 1, 1994, Xcel and its wholly owned subsidiary each filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. On June 16, 1999, the bankruptcy court confirmed a plan of reorganization whereby the obligations of Xcel’s creditors was satisfied. On February 18, 2000, Xcel and Insynq, Inc., a Washington company formed on August 31, 1998, closed an asset purchase transaction in which Xcel acquired substantially all of the assets of Insynq. Subsequent to the asset purchase transaction, Xcel continued to develop the business of Insynq. On August 3, 2000, at a special meeting of Xcel’s stockholders, Xcel completed a re-incorporation merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Insynq, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Today, as the combined and surviving entity, Insynq, Inc. continues to develop the IQ Utility Service while incorporating the customer premise equipment developed as part of the IQ Delivery System.
We provide Internet appliances, known as customer premise equipment, managed and hosted software services, Web hosting services, Web-based local and wide area networks, and access to Internet marketing assistance and related equipment and services. These products and services are offered as components or as an integrated whole, either sold directly or on a fee or subscription basis.
We target small and medium enterprises and the high-end segment of the small office and home office market for the sale of hardware and hosted software and access to Internet-related services. We provide products and services to our customer subscriber base, which allows our customers to adopt “Web-based” computing that serves as an alternative to both traditional local wide area networks and traditional client-server implementations. Generally, we market our self as an Internet utility company that can provide all of the computer software, hardware, connectivity and Internet-access needs for its customers on a cost effective basis.
We currently have several independent software vendors’ products on line using the IQ Data Utility Service computing services and anticipate signing various agreements with additional organizations in the next few months.
15
We expect to increase the subscriber base through these respective sales channels. Software vendor relationships currently in place include Microsoft Corporation, Network Associates, Inc./McAfee, and Macola Software.
The complete IQ Delivery System and Internet Utility Service include managed network and application services, which can span from a customer’s keyboard to the data center. We provide certain equipment, which is kept on our customer’s premises, including a simplified, diskless workstation or thin client, and a multi-function router, our IQ Delivery System, which is entirely managed and maintained by us. The system can also include Internet-access services provided by us or by a user selected telecommunications partner/provider. The final piece of the system is the data center, which is located in Bellingham, Washington. This facility, with redundant power, bandwidth, and cooling, house the servers and routers and equipment. While this is the recommended configuration for customer use to take advantage of the full services offered, customers are free to choose which components they would like to use.
In fiscal 2003 (fiscal year ending May 31, 2003), we plan to focus on sales growth, controlling expenses and restructure the debt. We will strive to build on our core value of customer service and delivery of our hosted services at a competitive price.
Results of Operations
We incurred a net loss of $864,372 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $1,656,838 for the three months ended August 31, 2001. The net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2002 resulted primarily from:
- discounted or free services as we marketed our products and services,
- professional and consulting fees,
- issuance and amortization of common stock, warrants and options for services,
- contract settlements, and interest expense.
The decrease in the net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2002 of $792,466 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2001 resulted primarily from:
- increase in net revenue,
- decrease in legal and consulting fees,
- decrease in wages and related taxes and benefits,
- decrease in rent, and
- decrease in abandoned leasehold improvements.
Total revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 was $234,163 and $194,565, respectively, This current quarter’s performance represents an increase of $39,598 over the prior comparable period, or approximately an increase of 20%. The primary sources of revenue are as follows:

The increase in revenue can be directly attributed to an acquisition of 126 seats from another application service provider company in September of 2001 and the result of increased marketing over the Internet. While we have experienced growth in revenue in each quarter of our existence, prior growth rates should not be considered as necessarily indicative of future growth rates or operating results for the fiscal ending 2003. We expect future revenue from all sources to trend away from our practice of providing discounts and free offerings as experienced in the first quarter, Fiscal 2003, because we are continuing to develop our sales programs, implement our sales and marketing strategies, increase consumer understanding and awareness of our technology, and prove our business model.
Our continued growth is significantly dependent upon our ability to generate sales relating to our subscription and managed software services. Our main priorities relating to revenue are:
- increase market awareness of our products and services through our strategic marketing plan,
- growth in the number of customers and seats per customer,
- continue to accomplish technological economies of scale, and
- continue to streamline and maximize efficiencies in our system implementation model.
Costs and Expenses
During the three months ended August 31, 2002, we incurred direct costs of services provided of $191,657. This represents a decrease of $128,210 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2001. Network and infrastructure costs were $1,802 and $29,327, for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Selling and general and administrative costs were $457,094 and $1,242,666 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2002 can be directly attributed to our management’s committed efforts, beginning in the fall of 2000, to restructure our operations and reduce our expenses. Of significance for the three months ended August 31, 2002, is a $385,307 decrease of comparable period expenses requiring non-cash compensation. Non-cash compensation is generally representative of the fair value of common stock, options and warrants issued for services, and the amortization of unearned compensation. Cash expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 were $325,733 and $725,998, respectively. The decrease of $400,265 is the result of managements’ plan and continual efforts to cut costs in all departments.
Overall, we reduced operating expenses for the three months ended August 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2001, by over $1,000,000, but maintained a growth in revenue of 20% for the three months ended August 31, 2002 as compared to August 31, 2001.
17
Interest expense was $444,882 for the three months ended August 31, 2002 as compared to $190,442 for the same period ended August 31, 2001. The increase of $254,440 was due primarily to the recognition in the current period: (a) accruing interest on the related party promissory notes, and, (b) accounting for non-cash interest recognized on the fair value of convertible debentures and warrants issued.
Accounting for non-cash interest resulted in an increase of $314,019 between the two comparable three month periods ended August 31, 2002 and 2001. For the three months ended August 31, 2002, non-cash interest expense included $292,192 related to discount amortization of the 12% convertible debentures. Cash interest decreased $59,579 for the three months ended August 31, 2002
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash and cash equivalents of $6,107 as of August 31, 2002, and a deficit in working capital of $6,155,959 at the same date. For the three months ended August 31, 2002, we used cash in our operating activities totaling $252,755 as compared to the same period one year ago of $785,607. The decrease in our usage of cash of over $532,000 was the result of managements’ expense reduction plan, while increasing sales and maintaining customer service
We finance our operations and capital requirements primarily through private debt and equity offerings. For the three months ended August 31, 2002, we received cash totaling $262,530 from:
- Borrowing on our credit line - $2,175
- release of restricted cash held in escrow - $10,355, and
- issuance of convertible debentures - $250,000
As of August 31, 2002, we had approximately $6,539,457 in current liabilities and past due debt. Of the total current debt, approximately $311,000 is deemed as a current trade payable, accrual or taxes due.
We are late in payment of certain creditor trade payables of approximately $912,000.
Recently, management has initiated re-negotiations with many of its creditors, by offering them cash payments for substantially less than the amounts due, or request a total forgiveness of the debt. We believe by continuing this important effort with a high degree of intensity, we will be able to reduce a significant part our past due creditor trade obligations. However, if we are not able to negotiate and execute payment plans or complete cash settlements with these creditors/vendors, we could experience a severe negative impact on our business resources and we may be forced to cease operations.
We lease equipment under four capital leases, each expiring in 2003. As of August 31, 2002, our principal capital lease obligation for computer hardware, printers and related infrastructure is in default in the amount of approximately $820,500. We have initiated discussions to restructure this obligation, and, given the current market conditions, believe we will be successful in such attempt. If we are unable to successfully restructure this obligation, options remain open to us including, for example, returning the equipment and purchasing new equipment on the open market. As a precautionary measure, in fiscal 2002, we signed an additional operating lease agreement for similar equipment to support our current customer base. If negotiations do not go as planned, there still is no assurance that we would be able to locate other similar and necessary equipment or raise the funds necessary to make such further purchases or execute new leases. If all other methods fail, we might be able to outsource our data center function; however, there is no assurance that such methods will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If this were to occur then we may be unable to deliver to our customers their contracted services.
As of October 17, 2002, we are delinquent in the payment of approximately $570,000 of business and payroll taxes, plus an estimated $246,000 of related assessed penalties and interest. The majority of the past due amount is for payroll taxes, penalties and interest due to the Internal Revenue Service. In April 2002, the Internal Revenue Service filed a federal tax lien for the past due employment related taxes, penalties and interest. We have retained legal counsel to represent us in our current negotiations with the Internal Revenue Service and we have submitted an offer in compromise, seeking relief on a portion of our overall obligation and structure a payment plan on the settled amount of taxes due. The Internal Revenue Service has imposed certain conditions on us in order to proceed with negotiations, one of which requires us to remain current on all future payroll tax deposits and reporting.
18
We have executed workout agreements for past due taxes with four other respective taxing authorities. As of October 17, 2002 total principal balance due for these workouts is approximately $56,000. Terms of these four workouts require us to pay between $290 and $1,000 per month until the respective tax obligation is fulfilled. Three of the taxing agencies have either filed a lien or a warrant with the local county authorities to protect its position during the respective workout periods.
Additionally, two liens have been filed by two other states for past due taxes, plus accrued interest and penalties. One lien was filed by the State of Utah for approximately $28,000 for prior year’s income taxes assessed to our predecessor company. This amount is in dispute and amended returns to correct this deficiency have been filed, but not yet approved or denied. The second lien was filed by the State of California for past due payroll taxes, assessed penalties and accrued interest. Recently, the Company submitted a proposal for a long-term workout of the tax debt. We believe the proposal is currently in review and under consideration with the state authorities.
There can be no assurances, however, that we will be able to agree or commit to any proposed terms set forth by the Internal Revenue Service or favorably negotiate terms with any of the other taxing authorities. If we are unsuccessful in our negotiations or fail to make our workout payments timely, the taxing authorities could take possession of some or all of our assets. Should this occur, we likely would be forced to cease our operations.
As of August 31, 2002, we have approximately $364,000 of employee agreement related obligations in the form of accrued and deferred salaries. These obligations are primarily a result of applying the terms of existing employment agreements against that which we actually paid. Currently, management is negotiating with employees with employment agreements in order to reduce all deferred and accrued salaries. In July 2002, an officer forgave $24,501 of deferred compensation in consideration for 350,000 shares of common stock with a market value of $1,050.
As of August 31, 2002, we have approximately $1,545,100 in short-term related party promissory notes, loans and accrued interest. All these obligations are past due. In settlement of these debts, our board of directors may authorize the issuance of a class of preferred stock. To-date, we have received a letter of intent to convert approximately $1,300,000 of this debt into preferred stock.
As of August 31, 2002, we have also recorded outstanding convertible debentures of $1,673,950, plus related accrued interest of approximately $131,100 and unamortized discounts of $416,779.
On June 29, 2001, we entered into a private financing transaction with three investors under which the investors initially purchased $550,000 from a total of $1,200,000 of our 12% convertible debentures. Investors purchased an additional $100,000 on August 15, 2001, $150,000 on October 17, 2001, and, $400,000 on November 2, 2001 under this financing agreement. The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lesser of (i) $0.18 or (ii) the average of the lowest three trading prices on the twenty trading days prior to the notice of such conversion, discounted by 50%. The convertible debentures carry attached warrants that allow the investor, under the terms of the warrants, to purchase up to 2,400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the lesser of (i) $.04 and (ii) the average of lowest three (3) trading prices during the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to exercise of the warrants. If the 2,400,000 warrants were exercised on October 17, 2002, the warrant conversion price would be $0.001. Terms of the debentures provide for full payment on or before one year from the date of issuance, plus accrued interest of 12% per annum. On June 24, 2002, August 14, 2002 and October 17, 2002, the anniversary and maturity dates for certain convertible debentures and the related accrued interest were due and payable. Total combined principal due is $723,950 and total combined accrued interest is approximately $88,000. Currently, these financial instruments are in default and are subject to certain default provisions under the respective agreements.
On July 8, 2002 investors holding certain convertible debentures exercised their position to convert $4,500 of debentures into 3,600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.00125 per share.
On January 24, 2002, we entered into a second private financing transaction to sell our 12% convertible debentures, to four investors, under which, the investors initially purchased $300,000. Proceeds from this initial transaction, net of fees and expenses, were $221,000, of which $77,000 was specifically escrowed and reserved for selected vendor settlements. The conversion price of the debentures is the lesser of $0.008, the fixed conversion
19
price, or, the average of the lowest three intra-day trading prices during the twenty days immediately prior to the conversion date, discounted by 50%. For each one-dollar ($1.00) of debenture investment, we issued warrants to purchase four (4) shares of common stock. The warrant is exercisable from time to time up to two (2) years from date of issuance, at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $0.007 or the average of the three lowest inter-day trading prices during the twenty days immediately prior to the exercise. On July 10, 2002 we received the remaining $250,000 from issuance of convertible debentures related to this private financing, and issued an additional 1,000,000 warrants. If the 2,200,000 warrants were exercised on October 17, 2002, the warrant conversion price would be $0.001
On September 27, 2002, we entered into a third private financing transaction to sell $450,000 of 12% convertible debentures, to two investors, under which, the investors initially purchased $120,000. Proceeds from this initial transaction, net of fees and professional expenses, were $50,481. Maturity date of this issuance is the one year anniversary date. The conversion price of the debentures is the lesser of $0.03, the fixed conversion price, or, the average of the lowest three intra-day trading prices during the twenty days immediately prior to the conversion date, discounted by 50%. For each one-dollar ($1.00) of debenture investment, we issue warrants to purchase two (2) shares of common stock. The warrant is exercisable from time to time up to five (5) years from date of issuance, at an exercise price of $0.01. Pursuant to terms of the agreement, additional investments in $30,000 increments will be made every thirty-days until a total of $450,000 has been invested.
On June 29, 2002, August 14, 2002 and October 17, 2002, we were obligated to repay any unconverted funds plus accrued interest pursuant to our June 29, 2001 financing transaction, and through September 27, 2003, we will be obligated to repay all unconverted remaining funds pursuant to our June 29, 2001, January 24, 2002 and September 27, 2002 debenture agreements. We do not currently have the funds to repay the amounts that are due, and, we may not have funds available to pay the future requirements when they become due. Pursuant to the June 2001, the January 2002 and the September 2002 debenture agreements, any amount of principal and/or interest which is not paid when due is in default, and shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid. Management anticipates negotiations with the investors about amending the terms of the agreements.
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing, and, generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Our ability to raise capital in the future will be difficult because our securities purchase agreements with our debenture investors prohibit us from entering into any financial arrangement, which would involve the issuance of common stock for a period of two years without offering a right of first refusal to the debenture investors. Moreover, our ability to raise capital would also be difficult because our debentures issued in connection with the June 29, 2001, January 24, 2002 and September 27, 2002 private placements have floating conversion features which, when converted, would cause purchasers of our common stock to experience a substantial dilution of their investment.
On September 6, 2001, we were served with a summons and complaint by our former landlords, asserting: (a.) a breach of a settlement agreement entered into in May 2001 to register 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $80,000, in partial settlement of the then existing lease, and, (b.) a default by us on two new long-term lease obligations. Terms of the first lease call for base monthly payments of $12,046 for the period of August 1, 2001 to July 31, 2006, plus estimated triple net charges currently at $3,038 per month and beginning in year two, annual consumer price index with a minimum annual increase of 3%. Minimum aggregate lease payments and triple net charges approximate $954,500 over the term of the lease, excluding late fees, interest, legal fees and other charges. Terms of the second lease called for monthly payments, beginning in June 2001 of approximately $4,000 per month, or a total of $80,000 for the remaining term of the lease from August 1, 2001 to May 31, 2003. On October 4, 2001, our former landlords filed a summons and complaint with the Superior Court of Washington for Pierce County for a summary judgment motion on all claims. All claims under this motion were denied. On May 10, 2002, the Court awarded a partial summary judgment in favor of the former landlords for approximately $170,000. We anticipate filing a motion requesting the court to vacate the summary judgment in light of new evidence and/or appeal the court’s decision.
We deny the allegations under this claim and believe it is without merit. It is the opinion of our management and our legal counsel that the settlement agreement signed in May 2001 that required the signing of the new leases were entered into under economic duress, based on misrepresentation and fraud and were signed in bad faith on the
20
part of the former landlords. As such, it is our managements’ opinion that the settlement agreement and the lease agreement are void. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
We currently have no material commitments for capital requirements. If we were forced to purchase new equipment to replace the equipment we currently lease, any new leases would constitute a material capital commitment; however, we are currently unable to quantify such amounts. If this occurs, we will attempt to raise the necessary finances to make such purchases, but there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. Without the ability to quantify these amounts, we believe that it would have a material impact on our business and our ability to maintain our operations.
Since September 2000, we began implementation of an internal cost restructuring of our operations, both in sales and marketing, as well in our executive management team, and other critical cost cutting measures. In June 2001, we negotiated with many of our vendors to materially reduce amounts owed or attain more favorable long-term payment terms. In October 2001 we further reduced our staffing requirements and as a result of these measures, we have tightened the controls over our use of cash and, additionally, have taken steps to improve the billing and collection process. Our management forecasts the continuing effects of these changes will result in a substantial improvement of monthly cash flows. In addition to these changes, we have implemented a marketing program through our recently developed accounting vertical, which has dramatically reduced customer acquisition costs. The combination of the internal restructuring efforts and increased operational efficiencies will allow us to move toward profitability and to achieve our business plan and goals. We are also pursuing opportunities to merge and/or acquire compatible companies with which to leverage management, financial and operational resources. We believe these changes and strategies will position us well for future opportunities.
We have recently signed several sales and marketing agreements. In particular, we have completed negotiations with a large U.S. telecommunication firm who will re-market, via private label, various services. We began this relationship by test marketing hosted software applications and managed services such as Microsoft Windows, MS Office, MS Exchange, virus protection, data storage and many other products and services to be bundled with broadband solutions. After a year of market test and product development, the telecommunication firm has agreed to go to market with these services. These bundled services or products will be delivered on a subscription basis.
We have recently launched our e-Accounting Center portal located atWWW.CPA-ASP.COM, which has been designed to help the accounting professional manage and expand their business. It includes resources for marketing, promotion, professional education, and web design, as well as, step-by-step tips for transforming a traditional accounting business into an e-Accounting practice. In addition, we host the Intuit QuickBooks software application in our secure Data Center for CPA firms throughout the country. By centrally hosting the application and data in our Data Center, we give the CPA secure central access to all his remote customers’ data. This gives the CPA the ability to manage more customers with fewer staff and, thereby, generating greater profitability for the CPA firm.
This, in addition to an agreement with an accounting affiliation of approximately 60,000 subscribers, and the adoption of the IQ Data Utility Service solution by these and other accountants is providing access to professional accounting organizations and their client bases. Other services include business functions such as e-commerce, sales force automation, customer support, human resource and financial management, messaging and collaboration, and professional services automation. We believe that technology outsourcing, focused on these business fundamentals, will be the primary adopters of application service providers and managed service solutions in the next year. We are focusing all possible resources in developing our domain expertise in these areas to gain additional leverage and build broader service offerings that compliment our current services already being delivered to those markets. There can be no assurances, however, that we will substantially increase our monthly recurring revenues.
We currently have no arrangements or commitments for accounts receivable financing. We believe our need for additional capital going forward will be met from private debt and equity offerings, and, increasingly, from revenues from operations as we continue to implement our strategic plan; however, future operations will be dependent upon our ability to secure sufficient sources of financing and adequate vendor credit. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve any or all of these requirements.
We are currently developing and refining our acquisition and expansion strategy. If we expand more rapidly
21
than currently anticipated, if our working capital needs exceed our current expectations, or if we consummate acquisitions, we will need to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources. We cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain the additional financings to satisfy our cash requirements or to implement our growth strategy on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to raise capital in the future will be difficult because our securities purchase agreements with our debenture investors prohibit us from entering into any financial arrangement which would involve the issuance of common stock for a period of two years from the date this registration statement becomes effective without offering a right of first refusal to the debenture investors. If we cannot obtain such financings on terms acceptable to us, our ability to fund our planned business expansion and to fund our on-going operations will be materially adversely affected. If we incur debt, the risks associated with our business and with owning our common stock could increase. If we raise capital through the sale of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be diluted. In addition, any new equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock.
