NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Digitiliti, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Digitilitis audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements, included in Digitilitis Form 10-K, have been omitted.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FAS 107-1) to amend SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments and APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting. FAS 107-1 changes the reporting requirements on certain fair value disclosures of financial instruments to include interim reporting periods. FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption encouraged. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our disclosures.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (FAS 157-4) to amend SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157). FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased. In addition, FAS 157-4 includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 states that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14 and that issuers of such instruments should account separately for the liability and equity components of the instruments in a manner that will reflect the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock (EITF 07-5). Paragraph 11(a) of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133 Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Companys own stock and (b) classified in stockholders equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuers own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. EITF 07-5 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008, and early adoption is prohibited. On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF 07-5 and the adoption of this statement had no material effect on our financial statements.
In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached final consensuses on EITF Issue 08-4, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Issue No. 98-5. Certain conclusions reached in EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, were nullified in EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. Moreover, some of the conclusions in Issue No. 98-5 and Issue No. 00-27 were superseded by SFAS No. 150 , Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. While the conclusions reached in Issue No. 98-5 were subsequently updated to reflect the issuance of Issue No. 00-27 and SFAS No. 150, the transition guidance in Issue No. 98-
7
5 was not revised. On January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF 08-4. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
2.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $1,590,752 and an accumulated deficit of $15,964,805 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue to be dependent on our ability to generate future revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing. Management acknowledges that its ability to continue executing its current business plan, even on a short-term basis, is dependent on its ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in generating future revenues, in obtaining additional debt of equity financing or that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
3.
Convertible Debt
In November 2008, we initiated a request to all of our 12% convertible debt holders to either extend their respective convertible debt for another 18 months or to convert their principal and accrued interest into common stock. During the first quarter of 2009, $2,262,700 of the convertible debt was converted into 6,887,825 shares and $1,614,300 of convertible debt was extended for an additional 18 months. The total extended as of March 31, 2009 was $2,184,300, with $927,800 due in the next 12 months; $1,380,000 due in the next 24 months; and $659,500 are due in next 29 months. In addition, $465,000 of the debt is in default as of March 31, 2009.
In exchange for extending their convertible debt for an additional 18 months, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the associated warrants from $1.50 and $2.25 per share to $1.00 per share, respectively for the A and B warrants. In addition, we agreed to extend the term of both the A and B warrants from 5 years to 6 ½ years. Furthermore, the requirement of an effective registration was not removed in the case of extending the note.
In exchange for converting their convertible debt into common stock, we agreed to reduce the exercise price from $0.50 to $0.35 per share. We also agreed to reduce the exercise price of the associated warrants from the $1.50 and $2.25 per share to $1.00 per share, respectively for the A and B warrants. In addition, we agreed to extend the term of both the A and B warrants from 5 years to 6 ½ years. Furthermore, the requirement of an effective registration was removed to allow conversion.
We evaluated the extension event in late December under FAS No. 15, EITF 02-4 and EITF 96-19. Because the investors did not grant concession on these outstanding loans, the transactions were not accounted for as troubled debt restructuring. Consequently, we evaluated these transactions under EITF 96-19 Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments to determine if the modification was substantial. As a result, no gain or loss was recorded on the date of the extension since the modification in terms is not considered significant. The Company recognized $84,730 warrant expense associated with the extended debt under FAS 84 and charged the unamortized warrant discount to interest expense over the remaining life of the convertible debt under the new terms.
We accounted for the conversion event during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 84 Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt and recognized expense totaling $201,017, which is equal to the fair value of the incremental compensation cost created by the modification of the exercise price of the warrants. The remaining unamortized warrant discount of $16,377 was recognized through Additional Paid in Capital under the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 98-5.
In addition, the contingency related to the contingent beneficial conversion feature was resolved on the date of conversion. The beneficial conversion feature calculated on the commitment date was fully recognized through interest expense and Additional Paid in Capital according to EITF 00-27. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, $2,262,700 of debt was converted and $161,377 of the contingent beneficial conversion feature was recognized into interest expense.

The Company is in default on $465,000 convertible debt net of discount of $12,965 as of March 31, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements made in this Quarterly Report which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and our business, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to raise capital, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words may, would, could, should, expects, projects, anticipates, believes, estimates, plans, intends, targets or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which we may conduct business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, general and specific economic conditions, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our current or potential business and related matters.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Plan of Operation
We presently focus on providing a cost effective data protection solution to the small to medium business (SMB) and small to medium enterprise (SME) markets through our remote Pharoah Business Fortress Storage Center. This data protection solution is geared specifically to help organizations properly manage and protect their entire network from one centralized location, with offsite redundancy. Our solution can backup and restore data on every machine in a network, including desktops, laptops, file and print servers. We are dedicated to developing and delivering superior storage technologies and methodologies that will enable our customers to manage and protect massive data growth with ease.
Through our Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center, we combine a powerful, agent-less backup software with our remote to deliver to our customers a powerful and effective online-offsite data backup and restore solution. We provide storage from a utility based computing philosophy, whereby customers pay only for the gigabytes of data they store in our Fortress Storage Center.
Our facilities allow us to provide offsite disaster recovery with an emphasis on intraday protection and restore for all of our customer primary data centers and geographically dispersed offices or campus settings. Our Fortress Storage Center is located in the base of the former Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. It is a one of a kind facility that provides our web based on-demand backup/restore service (digitiliti) with all the benefits of direct fiber access to a Level 5 data center. The Fortress Storage Center has 24/7 onsite physical security, including security guards, motion detectors, security cameras, card-key access, separate cages with individual locking cabinets and ladder racking. It also has battery generator back up power, temperature and humidity controls and fire suppression systems. Geographically, we are located at the center point of the Metropolitan area network. Being centrally located at the focal point of the Twin Cities Fiber Channel and Gig loop, the pipeline for data and load capabilities are immense. This allows us to send data back and forth in real time.
The Fortress Storage Center houses all of the hardware and software needed for our digitiliti solution to work. At the customer site, digitiliti administrator software is loaded on as many or as few workstations as desired and will require a valid logon code, ensuring no unauthorized access. At the customer site, the administrator software console acts as the interface with digitiliti in the Fortress Storage Center and enables the configuration of all backups and restores. The digitiliti backup software is totally agent-less, requiring no additional software to be installed on any machines. From the customer administration console, the customer sets retention policies, schedules automatic backups and initiates restores. The customer decides what files to backup: emails, Windows, Linux, Mac, Lotus, AS400 or many more. Customers typically start backing up one system and then add more systems to their backup sets as they continue to see how easily our digitiliti works.
12
For large data volumes, the initial data backup may be downloaded to a portable disk unit at the customer site. When the full backup of data is complete, the disks are transported to the Fortress Storage Center where the data is loaded onto the equipment in the Fortress Storage Center. From then on, all data is backed up in incremental changes over the Internet. All data is encrypted at all times before it leaves the customer site and when stored offsite. The encryption key is known only to the customer. The data can be unencrypted only by the customer, who would do so upon the need of a restore. If a customer loses data, the customer simply enters the commands to restore it via the administration console. At that time, the data would flow from the Fortress Storage Center back to the customer site. If the customer loses all data, digitiliti can restore the latest data to a location of the customers choosing using a portable disk unit. In addition to being encrypted, the data is also highly compressed, making it extremely safe and impenetrable from viruses. We maintain two copies of the customer data at all times.
We have contracted with XO Communications for our data center and communications. We lease our Fortress Storage Center space from them, and they own the Internet lines we use. This relationship helps keep capital expenditures at a minimum, while maintaining the flexibility to set up a new data center in any one of 80 geographically dispersed locations throughout the world, thereby reducing any geographic concerns about our digitiliti. XO Communications provides voice, data and IP services to businesses and other telecommunications companies in 75 metropolitan markets across the United States.
As a result of our sales and marketing efforts of our existing product, Pharoah, our customer base has expanded from approximately 20 in fiscal 2005; to approximately 100 in fiscal 2006; to 508 in 2007; to 731 in 2008; and now stands at 722 as of Mach 31, 2009. Correspondingly, our annual sales have increased from $402,638 in 2006; to $1,329,386 in 2007; and to $3,075,308 in 2008. This reflects an average monthly revenue exceeding $300,000. Despite the significantly improved cash flows provided by the increased sales, we are experiencing and anticipate cash flow shortages resulting from new product development, product launch and potential convertible debt repayment requirements.
Our primary focus in 2009 is to evaluate our long term strategic direction. In doing so, we will evaluate a number of alternatives for our future. Under consideration is a considered shift out of our current Pharaoh Vault Business Service and into our new product area, Pyramid. Our reasons for evaluating this strategic alternative are (i) to solve a major industry and customer problem of managing their continually growing information volume and associated cost of storage and retrieval, (ii) to be able to access a larger share of opportunity in the information management storage business; (iii) our Pyramid technology is believed to have significant technological advantages to our Pharaoh Vault Business Service; and (iii) our need to expand our storage capacity for additional growth. This will require a significant capital investment of approximately $ 2M - $3M dollars in 2009. Our present financial situation does not currently enable us to invest funds in both of these technologies at the same time. We require approximately $1M - $2M to rollout Pyramid and begin generating sales. We expect to have a determination and decision as to what strategic options we will pursue in our second quarter of 2009.
We have determined that our new product, Pyramid, is positioned to achieve significantly more market opportunity potential that our current Pharaoh Vault Business Service operations . This is because we will offer a solution to fix an industry-wide problem of data proliferation, volume growth, and the associated problems that causes, and, we will do this at significantly better cost performance and simplicity. Therefore, we are currently evaluating the sale of our Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center in order to more sufficiently fund our planned business operations. It is anticipated that any sale of our Pharaoh Business Fortress Storage Center that may be negotiated will be submitted to our stockholders for approval in accordance with the Delaware Business Corporation Act.
We invested significant resources in our new product, Pyramid, in 2008, in an attempt to expand our digitiliti product offering by developing a new generation of leading edge software. This development activity will continue at a greater pace in 2009. Pyramid represents a significant step toward our goal to become a technology leader in the data information management marketplace. We are behind schedule on our development and launch of Pyramid by six to nine months, but since February, 2009, we have implemented a rigorous product development approach, established a concrete architectural framework and a very specific product development plan, with automated test and integration system. We have restructured the product development team, and we are currently on schedule to introduce Pyramid in the third quarter of 2009 and begin generating sales at that time. We have three key milestones in our development plan, the first being a May 15th date to have the reference platform completed. This means that the basic technology and performance capabilities of Pyramid are operational and meeting requirements. This reference platform is the basic capability that Pyramid will introduce to the market in the third quarter. We have completed this first milestone. With the reference platform being completed, we can now begin to integrate value-added resellers (business partners) into our development plan to Beta test and gain valuable insight and feedback for refinements. We are very encouraged by the strong feedback from our
13
customers and industry analysts who have seen Pyramid product presentations. The process of refining our digitiliti products, our sales and marketing systems, our product packaging, our infrastructure scaling methods and revenue generation offerings are well underway. From industry feedback, we believe our Pyramid technology will establish a new standard for how companies will manage their information in the future. We believe, despite the delay in our schedule, that we will introduce new, industry-changing capability to the storage solutions market and that we will accomplish this goal well ahead of any other potential competitor. Presently, we believe there are no competitors in this new market arena. We have high confidence in our development plan and our development team and believe our schedule and capability are attainable in accordance with our goals.
We are presently experiencing cash flow problems; however, we have been aggressively taking steps to reduce overall operating costs as we conserve cash. Since 2008, we have reduced our annual salaries and wages by over 20%, while increasing operational efficiencies and lowering overall costs of goods sold. In the first quarter of 2009, we made additional cost improvements to our infrastructure. As we determine our strategic alternatives, we will act swiftly to continue to deploy and prioritize resources to manage expenses. In addition, we are raising more capital to assure we have the financial resources to achieve our strategy.
Our increase in customer count and overall sales have been funded, in large part, through our $5.5 million offering of 12% convertible notes initiated in March 2007. Prior to implementation of the Modification Proposal (discussed below), these convertible notes reflected a $0.50 per share conversion rate upon expiration of an 18-month maturity date, currently resulting in principal and accrued interest due of $1,334,770, estimated as of December 31, 2008. In addition, for every dollar invested, these convertible notes allowed each investor to receive one-half warrant to acquire one-half of a share of our common stock with a five year term at $1.50 per share and $2.25 per share, respectively. No warrant could have been exercised during the first six months and one day following issuance, unless there was an effective registration statement covering the underlying common stock that has been filed covering the shares underlying these warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We directly contacted our convertible note holders to seek to restructure this debt by asking the holders to extend the due dates of their respective convertible notes or to encourage them to convert their respective convertible notes (the Modification Proposal). On November 13, 2008, as a demonstration of confidence in our current plan, and as an act of good faith, our Board of Directors unilaterally approved a reduction in the $1.50 and $2.25 exercise prices of the convertible note holders warrants to $1.00 for both classes of warrants. In addition, our Board of Directors approved an overall reduction in the conversion price of all convertible notes from $0.50 per share to $0.35 per share; the resolutions provided that the reduced conversion price would be retroactive to include any convertible note holders who had already elected to convert their respective convertible notes. $35,000.00 in convertible notes had already been converted at the time of these resolutions; accordingly, we were obligated to issue a total of 109,000 shares of our common stock for division among these holders. The table under Part II, Item 3, below, presents information about our convertible notes that are still outstanding following conversions and extensions of convertible notes under our Modification Proposal. Please see Part II, Item 3.
Results of Operations
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008
Our sales for the March 31, 2009, quarter increased $297,073 to $860,279 compared to $563,206for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in revenue is a direct result of an increase in customers under contract and the resulting terabytes of data added to our Fortress Storage Center, combined with the growth in existing customer data. Consistent with this pattern of growth, our customer base grew from 594 as of March 31, 2008 to 722 as of March 31, 2009. The growth of customer contracts is a direct result of the heavy emphasis we have placed on marketing our digitiliti service. Our efforts included attending industry tradeshows throughout the country, as well as revamping our website. We also concentrated significant resources refining our product presentation, product positioning and pricing models. Finally, we continued to enhance our network of resellers throughout the country by providing strong dealer support services and offering a compelling pricing program.
Our quarterly gross margin reflects an increase of $244,289 with a gross margin of $379,874 through March 31, 2009, versus $135,585 through March 31, 2008. Factors contributing to this increase in our gross margin are our deliberate targeting of a larger profile customer, which resulted in (i) more efficient customer pricing; (ii) a significant increase or growth in customer base; and (iii) an increase in organic growth of our customers data. In short, we have learned that our sales and marketing efforts are better expended targeting larger customers in the SMB and SME markets. We have learned
14
how to sell our digitiliti service to this larger profile customer, which has increased our revenue, proportionately reduced our costs of revenue and has allowed us to leverage our infrastructure and efficiently bill for our customers data growth in our Fortress Storage Center vault.
Research and development expenses decreased from $670,079 to $90,507 during the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2008, and 2009, respectively. This significant decrease primarily reflects the up-front costs of acquiring the software technology from StorageSwitch LLC consisting of an initial cash outlay of $200,000 and the issuance of certain shares of our common stock valued at $375,000.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $76,751 from $161,690 for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $84,939. This decrease principally reflects our success in learning to market our digitiliti service to resellers that have the requisite expertise to produce immediate results. Again, we have not only learned to market our digitiliti service to larger profile customers, but also to larger profile and more technically proficient resellers, thereby resulting in increased sales with fewer (or more efficient) marketing expenditures.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $177,290 to $592,574 compared to $769,864 during the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively. This decrease is generally attributable to the reduced reliance on outside consultants (and corresponding consultants fees) and reduced legal and accounting expenses. Interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, increased by $468,938 to $800,771 compared to $331,833 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This decrease is related to the significant reduction in amortization of the discount associated with our convertible debt that resulted from those convertible note holders who chose to convert their convertible notes pursuant to our Modification Proposal discussed above.
Liquidity
Our liquidity is dependent, in the short term, on proceeds from newly issued debt and the sale of our common stock for cash. In the long term, we need to continue expanding our capacity of the Fortress Storage Center by investing in property and equipment and software licenses.
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009, and 2008
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we received proceeds of $165,197 from the issuance of notes payable and $75,000 from related party, which helped to fund cash used in operations and investment in property and equipment.
Net cash used by operating activities during the first three months of 2009 was $77,306 compared to $505,342 during the first quarter of 2008. Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009, was primarily impacted by:
·
Net loss of ($1,590,752).
·
Depreciation and amortization of $271,435.
·
Amortization of discount on convertible debt issued of $670,335.
·
Increase in accounts receivable of $30,264.
·
Increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $166,665.
Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2008, was primarily impacted by:
·
Net loss of ($1,797,881).
·
Depreciation and amortization of $254,032
·
Increase in trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of $505,821.
Net cash used by investing activities during the first three months of 2009 was $1,419, primarily related to the purchase of software licenses. Net cash used by investing activities during the first three months of 2008 was comprised of equipment and software licenses of $276,357.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2009 was ($101,177), primarily consisting of $84,535 in principal payments on capital leases; $165,197 from the issuance of notes payable; $75,000 from the issuance of related party debt. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2008 was $594,408
15
$808,500 from the sale of convertible debt securities. Offsetting these items were $156,207 in principal payments on capital leases and $80,850 in payments of financing costs.
At March 31, 2009, our cash balance was $58,769 compared to $36,317 at December 31, 2008.
An aggregate of $465,000 of our convertible notes was due at March 31, 2009; Although we are continuing to discuss payment and/or conversion or extension of these notes with note holders, these outstanding obligations pose a risk to our ongoing operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure under this Item 3.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is intended to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and that we have controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we will be required to file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and our principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding financial disclosure. Managements current assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls is based principally on our financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, and 2007, and the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2008, June 30, 2008, and March 31, 2008. In making our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework.
Accordingly, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation of the above referenced periods, due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting further described below, our Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules, regulations and forms.
For the periods referenced above, managements assessment identified material deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies include lack of segregation of duties, lack of adequate documentation of our system of internal control, deficiencies in our information technology systems, limited capability to interpret and apply United States generally accepted accounting principles and lack of formal accounting policies and procedures and related documentation.
Managements efforts to resolve these internal control weaknesses started with the hiring of a full-time Controller on October 1, 2007. In April 2008, our Board of Directors approved this persons promotion to Chief Financial Officer. Beginning in October 2007, management prepared a written review of every facet of our information processing system, like cash disbursements, sales and billing, cash receipts and other procedures. We continue to evaluate and address these weaknesses to ensure adherence to written policy, completeness of reporting, segregation of incompatible duties and compliance with generally accepted accounting principles; and we intend to continue to monitor and evaluate these and other factors affecting our internal controls.
It is managements intent to correct all identified material deficiencies in our internal controls as reported in previous periods. Until such time, our internal control over financial reporting may be subject to additional material weaknesses and deficiencies that we have not yet identified. Management has determined that these significant deficiencies, in the aggregate, constitute material weaknesses in the design and operation of our internal controls in effect prior to December 31, 2008, and 2007, and for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009. We continue to address and evaluate these issues.
16
Our former auditors also advised us of certain other material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal controls in connection with auditing our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, including, in summary: (i) lack of accounting expertise, with recommended additional training for our CFO; (ii) issues regarding reimbursement of unsubstantiated expenses; (iii) segregation of duties of accounting functions among various personnel; (iv) segregation of cash distribution responsibilities; (v) establishment of initial control over cash receipts; (vi) material weaknesses on preparation of our consolidated financial statements; and (vii) the establishment of an audit committee. We are also addressing these concerns.
Our current costs to remediate our material weaknesses in internal controls include the increase in salary of a full-time CFO at an annual cost of approximately $40,000 more than our former part-time chief accounting officer, together with substantial time and expense of other employees involved in addressing these issues. Future costs will include fees and costs associated with attendance at seminars and other programs by our CFO and certain employees relative to recognizing and resolving these types of issues.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Except as indicated in the preceding paragraph about managements evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
None; not applicable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not required; however, various risk factors about us and our business prospects and products is contained in Item 1A of our Form 10 Registration Statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 13, 2008, all of which are still applicable to us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the first quarter of 2009, $2,262,700 of the convertible debt was converted into 6,887,825 shares and $1,614,300 of convertible debt was extended for an additional 18 months.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of the following equity securities to our former and present officer and directors: 225,000 stock options to Roy A. Bauer and Benno Sand (individually) granted on February 6, 2009, reflecting a $0.385 exercise price and that vest over a 36 month period and 100,000 stock options to Jonathon S. and Pamela J. Miner (individually) also granted on February 6, 2009, reflecting a $0.385 exercise price and that vest over a 36 month period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, in conjunction with a severance agreement executed between us and Dan Herbeck, acting though his company, Continental Technologies Solutions, LLC, we approved the issuance of 100,000 five year cashless warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $.35 per share.
In conjunction with the of the Separation Agreement executed between Brad D. Wenzel and us on April 20, 2009, Mr. Wenzel received warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.385 per share, over a three (3) year term.
Also pending is the extension of a $250,000 12% convertible note held by a shareholder that reflected a maturity date of April 20, 2009. This convertible note is guaranteed by a member of our Board of Directors and discussions are underway to confirm, among other terms, the issuance of additional warrants as consideration for a minimum six month extension to this convertible note.

In reliance on a pending private offering not yet finalized, we received $100,000 from an existing shareholder that shall be tied to a convertible note that reflects the following minimum terms: a 12% interest rate, a six month maturity date and a $0.35 conversion rate feature upon or before maturity. In addition, this shareholder will have 100% warrant coverage and will receive one warrant at a $0.50 exercise price for each dollar invested and should the shareholder decide to convert the convertible note upon or before maturity, the warrant exercise price will be reduced to $0.35 per share.
We issued all of these securities to persons who were accredited investors or sophisticated investors as those terms are defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and each such person had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration of sales to accredited investors and a limited number of sophisticated investors are preempted from state regulation, though states may require the filing of notices, a fee and other administrative documentation like consents to service of process and the like.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
After implementation of our Modification Proposal (discussed in our Plan of Operation above in Part I, Item 2), the following reflects as of May 15, 2009, the total amount of convertible notes that were outstanding during each quarter when sold, the remaining principal and accrued interest outstanding from those convertible note holders that did not convert or extend their convertible notes, and the quarters in which those unconverted and unextended convertible notes mature.
