The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, apply to forward-looking statements made by the Company.
The reader is cautioned that no statements contained in this Form 10-QSB should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including those identified within this Form 10-QSB. The actual results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Form 10-QSB and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business.
Overview
Entheos Technologies, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., operates as an Application Service Provider (ASP) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email services. The Company is currently seeking to augment its position in technology based services through the acquisition of and or joint venture with, other technology based ventures.
Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of its financial statements:
Income Taxes
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. We currently have recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as we currently believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized
Contingencies
We may be subject to certain asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. It is our belief that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, we cannot provide assurance that damages that result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations will not be imposed in these matters. We account for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
Results of operations
Revenues. The Company did not generate any revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.
Cost of revenues. The Company did not incur any costs of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively.
General and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, and March 31, 2003, the Company incurred $82,018 and $206,111, respectively, in general and administrative expenses, a decrease of 60%, which was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and wages, as well as a reduction in management fees during the three months ended March 31, 2004.
Interest income. Interest income was $513 for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 versus $2,198 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in interest income is a direct result of changes in interest rates and a decrease in cash balance. Interest earned in the future will be dependent on Company funding cycles and prevailing interest rates.
Provision for income taxes. As of ended March 31, 2004, the Company's accumulated deficit was $3,586,689 and as a result, there has been no provision for income taxes to date.
Net income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2004, and for the same period in 2003, the Company recorded a net loss of $81,505 and $203,913 respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31, 2004, the Company had a cash balance of $207,169. The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash on hand during the three month period ending March 31, 2004.
Net cash flows used in by operating activities was $56,681 for the three month period ending March 31, 2004, compared to net cash flows used of $157,110 for the same period in 2003, primarily due to net loss from operations. The Company believes it has sufficient cash to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months.
Net cash flows used in investing activities was $28,341 for the three month period ending March 31, 2004 compared to $129 for same period during 2003, resulting from equipment purchases during the periods presented.
The Company's future funding requirements will depend on numerous factors. These factors include the Company's ability to operate its business profitably in the future, recruit and train qualified management, technical and sales personnel, and the Company's ability to compete against other, better-capitalized corporations. The Company has adequate cash to satisfy its cash requirements over the next twelve months. The Company may raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. There is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.
Related Party Transactions
Management Fees During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company charged $0 and $36,000, respectively, to operations for management and consulting fees incurred for services rendered by Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, a Director and majority stockholder. As of March 31, 2004, the Company owed $23,812 for outstanding management fees, which is included in accrued expenses related party. There is no management or consulting agreement in effect nor is there an agreement in place to convert debt to equity, which is done at the discretion of Mr. Rayat and upon approval by the board of directors.
Marketable Equity Securities - Marketable equity securities at March 31, 2004, represents the fair market value of 600,625 shares of common stock of eDeal.net, Inc., a public Company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. At March 31, 2004 the fair marked value was $180,188 and an unrealized gain of $132,138 was credited to accumulated other comprehensive income representing the difference between the cost and the stated market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date, which was $0.30 per share. A director and majority stockholder of the Company is also a Director, Secretary and Treasurer and majority shareholder of eDeal.net.
Properties The Company's corporate offices, located at Suite 216, 1628 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are owned by a privately held corporation controlled by a Director and majority shareholder of the Company. At present, the Company pays no rent. The fair value of the rent has not been included in the financial statements because the amount is immaterial.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. Management does not anticipate that FIN 46 will have any effect on the on the Company.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Accounting for Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is generally effective for 45 contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and all provisions should be applied prospectively. This statement does not affect the Company.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. This statement does not affect the Company.
Risk Factors of the Business
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business. However, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock. We provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business. These are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results. Other factors besides those listed here could adversely affect us.
Lack of Operating History
Our business is subject to the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business. Specifically, in formulating our business plan, we have relied on the judgment of our officers, directors and consultants but have not conducted any formal independent market studies concerning the demand for our services.
We have had limited revenues since inception, and zero revenues of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. We have not been profitable, experiencing an accumulated deficit of $3,586,689 through March 31, 2004. Even if we become profitable in the future, we cannot accurately predict the level of, or our ability to sustain profitability. Because we have not yet been profitable and cannot predict any level of future profitability, you bear the risk of a complete loss of your investment in the event our business plan is unsuccessful.
The Company's ability to generate revenues and to achieve profitability and positive cash flow has depended on the successful commercialization of our ASP service, which has had limited success so far. Even if we eventually generate enough revenues from the sale of our services, we expect to incur significant operating losses over the next several years due to intense competition, a dearth of high volume email clients and low priced email software packages.
Intense Competition
The market for our services is intensely competitive, constantly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. We expect the intensity of competition to increase in the future. Increased competition may result in price reductions, changes in our pricing model, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could materially damage our business. Many of our competitors have more resources and broader and deeper customer access than we do. In addition, many of these competitors have or can readily obtain extensive knowledge of our industry. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly than we can to new technologies or changes in Internet user preferences and devote greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their services. We may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and future competitors, especially those with significantly greater resources.
Dependence On Key Personnel
We depend on the continued service of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel and the loss of one or more of these individuals could cause us to incur increased operating expenses and divert other senior management time in searching for their replacements. We do not have employment agreements with any employee, nor do we maintain any key person life insurance policies for any of our key employees. The loss of any of our key technical, sales or senior management personnel could harm our business. In addition, we must attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We face significant competition for individuals with the skills required to develop, market and support our services. We may not be able to recruit and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees, and as a result our business could suffer.
Inability to Obtain Funding
We may not be able to obtain additional funding when needed, which could limit future expansion and marketing opportunities and result in lower than anticipated revenues. We may require additional financing to further develop our business and to pursue other technology-based business opportunities. If the market price of the common stock declines, some potential financiers may either refuse to offer us any financing or will offer financing at unacceptable rates or unfavorable terms. If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, this unavailability could prevent us from expanding our business, which could materially impact our future potential revenues.
Continued Control by Management.
You may lack an effective vote on corporate matters and management may be able to act contrary to your objectives. As of April 26, 2004, our officers and board members own 92% of the 16,104,187 outstanding common stock, excluding stock options. If management votes together, it could influence the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, mergers and asset sales. As a result, new stockholders may lack an effective vote with respect to the election of directors and other corporate matters. Therefore, it is possible that management may take actions with respect to its ownership interest, which may not be consistent with your objectives or desires.
Adverse Effect From Future Sale of Stock
Future sales of large amounts of our common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or following the exercise of outstanding options, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable, without restriction or registration under the Securities Act, other than the sales volume reporting and transaction restrictions of Rule 144 applicable to shares held beneficially by persons who may be deemed to be affiliates. Our directors and executive officers and their family members are not under lockup letters or other forms of restriction on the sale of their common stock. The issuance of any or all of these additional shares upon exercise of options or warrants will dilute the voting power of our current stockholders on corporate matters and, as a result, may cause the market price of our common stock to decrease. Further, sales of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock and could materially impair our future ability to generate funds through sales of common stock or other equity securities.
We are considered a penny stock.
The Company's stock differs from many stocks, in that it is a "penny stock." The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks." These rules include, but are not limited to, Rules 3a5l-l, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6 and 15g-7 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because our securities probably constitute "penny stock" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of our stock to sell their securities in any market that may develop for them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks, due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34- 29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:
-
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
-
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
-
"Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
-
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
-
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
Furthermore, the "penny stock" designation may adversely affect the development of any public market for the Company's shares of common stock or, if such a market develops, its continuation. Broker-dealers are required to personally determine whether an investment in "penny stock" is suitable for customers.
Penny stocks are securities (i) with a price of less than five dollars per share; (ii) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ-listed stocks must still meet requirement (i) above); or (iv) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average annual revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 15g-2 of the Commission require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Company's common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be "penny stock."
Rule 15g-9 of the Commission requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for the Company's stockholders to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
Significant variations in our quarterly operating results may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our operating results have varied on a quarterly basis during our limited operating history, and we expect to experience significant fluctuations in future quarterly operating results. These fluctuations have been and may in the future be caused by numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations will not necessarily be meaningful and that you should not rely upon them as an indication of future performance. Also, it is likely that our operating results could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. This could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Intellectual Property
The Company relies on a combination of trademark, copyright law, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with employees, vendors and others to protect its rights to intellectual property. Theses measures, however, may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information. Failure to adequately protect its intellectual property could harm the Company's brand, devalue its proprietary content and affect the Company's ability to compete effectively.
Independent Directors.
We cannot guarantee our Board of Directors will have a majority of independent directors in the future. In the absence of a majority of independent directors, our executive officers, who are also principal stockholders and directors, could establish policies and enter into transactions without independent review and approval thereof. This could present the potential for a conflict of interest between the Company and its stockholders generally and the controlling officers, stockholders or directors.
Environmental Matters
The Company believes it conducts its business in compliance with all environmental laws presently applicable to its facilities. To date, there have been no expenses incurred by the Company related to environmental issues.
Government Regulation
The Company is not subject to any direct governmental regulation other than the securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies, and laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Company evaluation of these controls as of the end of the period covered by this report that could have significantly affected those controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to in the previous paragraph, including any correction action with regard to significant deficiencies and material weakness.
