Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Quarters Ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of
Nevada in February 2000. The Company is the designer of the FX3000, a foreign
currency trading software platform. In March 2002, the Company sold the FX3000
software platform, for a 25% interest in a joint venture, FX Direct Dealer LLC
("FXDD"), a company that markets the FX3000 software. The Company does not have
operational control over FXDD. Tradition NA and its officers are the 75% owners
of FXDD.
The Company provides programming service upgrades to the joint venture on the
FX3000. In addition, the Company provides the users of the FX3000 program 24
hour help desk services.
CONSOLIDATION- the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company balances have been eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial
statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION- The Company provides software maintenance and support
services for the users of the FX3000 program. The Company receives a monthly fee
from the joint venture for these services. Revenues received for the maintenance
and support services are recognized by the Company when they are earned.
Under the terms of the agreement, Tradition NA is entitled to a full
reimbursement of its startup costs and initial losses on the joint venture
incurred prior to any revenue payments to the Company. The Company is not liable
for any losses on the joint venture. The Company's interest in the joint venture
is accounted for on a cost basis and adjusted for any net profits of the joint
venture. Profit sharing revenues received from the joint venture are first
applied to the cost of the investment and then to revenues.
The Company has received no profit sharing revenues since its investment in the
joint venture in March 2002.
8
CASH AND INTEREST BEARING DEPOSITS- For the purpose of calculating changes in
cash flows, cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
LONG LIVED ASSETS- The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when
estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
INCOME TAXES- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME
TAXES". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement
and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be realized.
Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period adjusted for
the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, which assume the
continuity of the Company as a going concern. Since the joint venture
agreement's inception in 2002, the Company's sole source of revenues has been
from the software maintenance revenues on the FXDD software received from the
joint venture. In December 2007, the Company was notified by the majority owner
of the joint venture that the Company would no longer be the maintenance
provider for the software. Consequently, the Company's sole source of revenue
for the prior fiscal years has been lost effective December 2007.
The cessation of the software maintenance revenues associated with the FXDD, and
the Company's continued failure to achieve profitability in the current and past
several fiscal years, raises significant doubt as to the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans with regard to this matter are as follows:
The Company still maintains a 25% equity investment in the FXDD joint venture
with Tradition NA, however, the Company has received no revenues on this
interest and does not expect to receive any revenues on this interest in the
foreseeable future. Therefore, management plans to concentrate its efforts on
the marketing or sale of its PromotionStat software program. The PromotionStat
9
software allows a user to analyze the effectiveness of advertising and
promotional campaigns of a web site. The software tracks visitors to a web site
via a series of invisible data collectors placed within the individual pages of
the web site.
Although the existing cash resources are currently expected to provide
sufficient funds through the upcoming year, the continuation of the Company as a
going concern for a period of longer than the upcoming year is dependent upon
the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to continue
operations.
Management cannot ensure the eventual success of its efforts to market the
PromotionStat software program.
3. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company applies SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE to compute net loss per
share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share has been
computed based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the
years. Diluted net loss per share gives the effect of outstanding common stock
equivalents which are convertible into common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. (the Company), formerly SeventhCai, Inc., was
incorporated in the State of Nevada in February 2000. In January 2001, the
Company changed its name to Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd., and purchased
100% of the issued and outstanding shares of FX3000, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, the designer of the FX3000 web-based software platform. The FX3000
software platform is a financial real time quote and money management platform
for use by independent foreign currency traders. In March 2002, the Company
transferred its FX3000 platform to FXDD, a joint venture company that markets
the FX3000 software platform. The Company received a 25% interest in the company
in return for the transfer. The remaining 75% of the joint venture company is
owned by Tradition, N.A., a major, Swiss-based financial company. On December
29, 2006, Tradition, N.A. sold 80% of its interest in FXDD to its Chief
Executive Officer. Tradition NA retains 15% ownership interest.
The Company also is the developer of the PromotionStat software program, which
assists on-line advertisers in monitoring their marketing effectiveness and
which is marketed through the Company's subsidiary, PromotionStat Inc. The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, seeks to generate revenue
through its investment in FXDD and the PromotionStat E-commerce advertising
screening platform software.
GENERAL STATEMENT: FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contain forward looking statements under the 1995 Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act that involve various risks and uncertainties. Typically,
these statements are indicated by words such as "anticipates", "expects",
"believes", "plans", "could", and similar words and phrases. Factors that could
cause the company's actual results to differ materially from management's
projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations include but are not limited
to the following:
* Inability of the company to secure additional financing
* Unexpected economic changes in the United States
* The imposition of new restrictions or regulations by government
agencies that affect the Company's business activities.
To the extent possible, the following discussion will highlight the activities
of the Company's business activities for the three months ended April 2008 and
April 2007.
13
I. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS
CONSOLIDATED SALES, GROSS PROFIT, AND NET INCOME (THREE MONTHS)
Total net revenues for the first three months of fiscal 2008 were $0, compared
to $49,012 for the same period in fiscal 2007, a decrease of $49,012, or 100%.
This decrease was due to the decrease in revenues from software maintenance, as
the Company lost its source of revenues from providing software maintenance
services to the joint venture. Management does not expect any significant
revenues from its PromotionStat technology since all of its efforts have been
concentrated in the joint venture operations. Management does not expect any
revenues from servicing of the FXDD currency trading platform in the nearest
future.
General and administrative expense for the first third of fiscal 2008 was
$60,096 compared to $199,464 for 2007, a decrease of almost 30%. Major decreases
in costs during this period were reduction of consulting costs, general
administration, and promotion and investor relation costs.
The detail of general administrative costs is as follows:
30-Apr-08 30-Apr-07
--------- ---------
Travel, lodging, & meals $ 4,943 $28,106
Rent & utilities 13,329 19,952
Supplies 3,801 8,352
Automobile costs 3,252 11,891
Telephone 75 8,196
Professional fees 29,393 5,910
Miscellaneous taxes 0 202
Postage 186 762
------- -------
Total $54,979 $83,371
======= =======
After deducting general and administrative costs, the Company experienced a loss
from operations of $60,096 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to
an operating loss of $150,452 for the same period in fiscal 2007.
During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the Company realized a net loss
from operations of $19,023 compared to a loss of $122,232 for the same period in
fiscal 2007.
Interest income decreased during three months ended April 2008 since the
Company's average cash balance has decreased in 2008. The Company invests excess
cash balance in money market accounts.
14
During the three months ended April 30, 2008, the Company's net loss was $19,023
or $0.00 per share compared to a loss of $122,232, or $0.01 per share for the
same period in fiscal 2007.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION: LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At April 30, 2008 cash on hand was $48,413 as compared with $95,585 for the same
fiscal period in 2007. During the period the Company received $0 in net
subscriptions to its preferred B stock.
The Company does not expect any material capital expenditures for the balance of
fiscal 2008.
At April 30, 2008, the Company had working capital of $22,033 compared to a
working capital of $40,907 at January 31, 2008.
Total assets at April 30, 2008 were $101,137 as compared to $120,160 at January
31, 2008.
The Company's total stockholders' equity decreased to $70,157 at April 2008 from
$89,180 at January 31, 2008.
Although the existing cash resources are currently expected to provide
sufficient funds through the upcoming year, the continuation of the Company as a
going concern for a period of longer than the upcoming year is dependent upon
the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue operations.
III. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - As of the end of the period
covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO.
Based on that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2008 to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported as and when required.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING - There has been no change
in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most
recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
15
IV. TRENDS AFFECTING LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OPERATIONS
A number of factors are expected to impact the Company's liquidity, capital
resources and future operations. Included among these are governmental
regulation of the trading of currencies by individuals and the acceptability of
currency trading by a large number of individual high net worth investors.
Management believes that the increasing regulation of securities and other forms
of investment vehicles will increase demand for alternate investment vehicles
such as currency trading, thereby increasing demand for the Company's products
and will significantly expand the Company's markets.
The Company has developed its FX3000 software to allow access by individual
investors to what has traditionally been an investment arena restricted to large
financial institutions and banks. Management believes that as investors become
more sophisticated there will be an increased demand for access to these types
of previously unavailable investment vehicles. However recently the Company has
lost its contract with FXDD for servicing of FX3000 platform. The revenue for
the services rendered under this Agreement was a major source of income for the
Company, and termination of this agreement may have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
As other new technological products under development by the Company are
introduced, management believes that sales revenues will increase and, over the
long term, will result in stable sales and profits for the Company.
