Annual Report
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the risks set forth in Item 1A hereof and our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "shall", "could", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "predict", "probable", "possible", "should", "continue", or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and are considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Aventura Holdings, Inc. ("Aventura", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company") is a publicly held Miami, Florida based Company that through incremental acquisitions and research and development in the video surveillance and internet broadcast markets is geared towards launching new hardware and software products.
Pursuant to the Company's election to withdraw its status as a BDC effective May 15, 2006 we are continuing as an operating reporting public company subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The BDC withdrawal resulted in a significant change in the Company's required method of accounting. BDC financial statement presentation and accounting utilizes the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost. In addition, majority-owned subsidiaries are not consolidated and instead, investments in those subsidiaries are reflected on the balance sheet as an investment in a portfolio company, at fair value. As an operating company, the required financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held by the Company utilize either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and the Company's intent with respect to the period of time it intends to hold the investment, and the Company and its subsidiaries are reflected for financial accounting purposes as a consolidated entity.
The change in accounting due to the conversion to an operating company from a BDC is considered a change in accounting principle that is being applied retroactively to prior years. As a result, in accordance with FAS 154, "Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections", which requires that a change in accounting principle be retrospectively applied to all prior periods presented, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on an operating and consolidated basis for all current and prior periods presented on a retrospective basis without regard to a BDC method of accounting.
Going Concern
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to further implement our business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. We presently do not have sufficient revenues to cover our incurred expenses. Our management recognizes that we must generate additional resources to enable us to pay our obligations as they come due, and that we must ultimately successfully implement our business plan and achieve profitable operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these activities. Should any of these events not occur, our financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
The time required for us to become profitable from operations is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements. If required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our business. The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing to meet scheduled debt payments and financial covenants. If we fail to make any required payment under the agreements and related documents governing our indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in them, we would be in default. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities, which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
General
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes 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. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of Aventura's Board of Directors. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
Results Of Operations
Due to the Company's June 7, 2005 acquisition of a 100% member interest in Aventura Networks, LLC in exchange for 880,000,000 shares of the Company's previously unissued common stock, a reverse acquisition occurred since the owners of Aventura Networks, LLC held a majority of the Company's common stock immediately following the transaction. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes the Company recognized Aventura Networks, LLC as the Company's historical registrant and retrospectively consolidated with Aventura Networks, LLC as its wholly owned subsidiary. All operating activity (other than that of Aventura Networks, LLC) prior to June 7, 2005 was eliminated and equity was restated to reflect our new structure. However, since Aventura Networks, LLC was distributed out of the Company on June 29, 2006, Aventura Networks, LLC is portrayed throughout the financial statements as discontinued operations. The Company acquired a controlling interest in and consolidated Ohio Funding Group, Inc. into the Company's financial statements by virtue of our May 16, 2006 and October 1, 2006 30% and 30% respective investments in Ohio's outstanding common stock. On November 6, 2007 Ohio ceased operating as a subsidiary of the Company and Ohio's activity is portrayed in the financial statements as discontinued operations.
